Chapter 288: Legally Married
Before Lu Ye and Bai Zhi left, Ye Qingbai couldn't wait to tell them to come back early to celebrate.
"We still have some things to do after we get our marriage certificate, see you tonight."
Ye Qingbai asked curiously, "Cousin, is there anything else?"
Bai Zhi didn't know whether she should tell Ye Qingbai about their itinerary after getting their marriage certificate, so she saw Lu Ye.
Compared to Bai Zhi, Lu Ye, as Ye Qingbai's superior, was domineering and forceful, saying, "It has nothing to do with you. You just need to do the work I assigned you today."
Ye Qingbai shrugged. "Oh, painting the walls, I know."
At 8:30, the two appeared at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau on time.
Throughout the journey, Bai Zhi remained calm, while the man driving seemed quite excited. The usually composed and reserved man couldn't suppress the corners of his mouth today.
He glanced at the girl every now and then.
I was overjoyed.
Because it was a military marriage, the procedures were rather special, but Lu Ye had prepared all the necessary documents, including a letter of introduction from Bai Zhi, so the process was very efficient.
After signing, they took photos one by one.
Around nine o'clock, they received their certificates.
As soon as they stepped out of the Civil Affairs Bureau, Lu Ye looked at her with deep affection in his eyes, and couldn't help but lean over and gently kiss her lips.
Bai Zhi smiled and returned his kiss.
Lu Ye was deeply moved and quickly pulled her towards the car.
Once in the car, he quickly closed the door and then pulled her tightly into his arms.
"From now on, we are a legally married couple."
He confessed his love, "Wife, I love you."
"I love you." The two held hands, and Bai Zhi responded to him softly.
It wasn't because he loved her that she loved him too.
Rather, it was because she loved him just as much.
After cuddling in the car for a while, Lu Ye said, "Let's go get something to eat first."
Bai Zhi glanced at her watch and asked, "Aren't you going to see your friends today?"
Lu Ye smiled and said, "It's still early. Let's grab something to eat first, and then we'll head over later."
He drove Bai Zhi to a teahouse and ordered the teahouse's signature dim sum and tea.
Bai Zhi ate something in the morning and wasn't very hungry.
She thought that Lu Ye simply wanted to find a quiet environment to be alone.
She also enjoyed this peaceful time.
At this moment, the two sat quietly in the teahouse's private room, looking at each other.
Bai Zhi glanced at the delicate pastries on the table and said, "Eat them, why are you staring at me like that?"
"I just want to see my wife."
He was like a naive and innocent boy, with clear and affectionate eyes.
The moment she met his gaze, her heart would always race uncontrollably.
To hide her embarrassment, she took a piece of pastry and put it in her mouth.
The pastry was very crumbly, and crumbs would fall when she ate it. A large hand reached under her chin to hold the crumbs and prevent them from falling to the ground.
"Don't do that, I can hold it myself." He was so close, his breath hitting her nose, that she felt embarrassed to chew what was in her mouth.
"I'll hold it, you just eat."
After she finished eating, he considerately handed her a cup of tea.
"After the wedding, will we be living apart?" Bai Zhi suddenly felt a little sad.
I've known Lu Ye for a few months now, and because of his injuries, we've basically been together the whole time.
Now that Lu Ye has recovered his health, their marriage will be finalized.
Lu Ye has been promoted again, so he will definitely have to return to the army to start his work.
They will also be separated more often than together.
Upon hearing Bai Zhi's words, the man who was pouring tea for his wife paused slightly.
He put down the tea set, looked at Bai Zhi, and said seriously, "Wife, I was going to talk to you about this."
He said, "The military allocated me a house. My original plan was that after we got married, you would go with me to the military and we would find a job there. But now your job has suddenly changed, and you've joined the research and development team at the military hospital. So, I haven't brought up the idea of finding a job in the military for the time being."
"Should I go with the army to find a job?" Bai Zhi said, distressed. "But I'm a traditional Chinese medicine doctor. That's my only skill. Will it be easy to find a job?"
Doing other things is certainly not out of the question, but if it's an industry you're not good at, you'll definitely have to start from scratch.
If it's just a job she's not really interested in, there's really no need for her to start learning from scratch.
Why not shine in a field you are good at and enjoy?
As a doctor, I can relieve the pain of more patients.
Upon reflection, I realize that besides traditional Chinese medicine, writing is another thing I enjoy doing.
She thought that if she hadn't recognized her grandfather in her previous life, and if she hadn't had to worry about making a living, she would most likely have become a literary creator.
She grew up in a difficult environment, and later suffered from the trauma of her family of origin...
Those hardships in her life gave her a deeper understanding of human nature.
She always felt that she should write something.
She was too busy after learning traditional Chinese medicine in her previous life.
She started by studying medicine diligently, and after completing her apprenticeship, she became busy seeing patients. Then, after she and her grandfather developed an antidote for toxic drugs, she became even busier.
Back then, she also wrote and published things, but those things were called academic papers!
It is a highly technical and rather dry text.
She was completely different from the artistic woman she dreamed of.
If she could start over, her memories of her past life would allow her to take many shortcuts.
First of all, she no longer needs to follow her grandfather into seclusion in Yuncheng for two or three years to develop an antidote, as she did in her previous life.
Lu Ye looked at Bai Zhi very seriously and said, "I think you could open a traditional Chinese medicine clinic with your grandfather near the military base, what do you think?"
“I’ve checked, and it seems that you can’t open a clinic on your own based solely on your medical qualifications. So, your grandfather will need to come and practice there. Do you think he will agree?”
Upon hearing Lu Ye's suggestion, Bai Zhi's eyes lit up, and she said cheerfully, "I'll ask him later."
If my maternal grandfather could agree to accompany them to the army, then they could open a branch of Derentang next to the troops stationed by Lu Ye.
With Lu Ye involved, and considering her experience at the military hospital, the procedures should go smoothly.
In this way, the young couple not only no longer need to live apart, but they can also develop Derentang.
In the future, we aim to have branches all over the country.
A gentle light flashed across Lu Ye's face at Bai Zhi's positive response.
"I believe you can handle Grandpa. Once I get back to the military base, I'll find a storefront for us and handle the paperwork. We'll open the store once you finish your work at the military hospital."
Bai Zhi smiled and corrected him, "It was my grandfather who was my grandfather. You're an outsider, so don't talk to us about 'us'."
It sounds like he's going to be a partner.
Lu Ye, however, argued vehemently, "I may be an outsider, but I am not an outsider; I must participate in this matter."
Hearing Lu Ye's words, Bai Zhi felt incredibly warm inside.
With his support and assistance, if they really intend to open a branch of the candy-throwing service, she will have to put in much less effort and avoid many unnecessary detours.
After Bai Zhi finished her snacks, Lu Ye estimated that it was about time and drove off.
They first bought a bouquet of chrysanthemums, and then went to Xiaowei's grave.
The cemetery is located in the suburbs, some distance from the city center.
Bai Zhi asked, "Should we contact Aunt Mu and have her and her daughter ride in your car? It's quite a distance from the outskirts of the city."
Lu Ye shook his head. "No need. They've probably already set off."
although
Last night he heard that his mother was going to accompany Aunt Mu today.
Xie Zheng and Shen Qian will also be there.
Her mother had already paid for a private car.
Lu Ye drove for an hour before the Jeep stopped by the side of the road.
He found a parking spot and then gestured for Bai Zhi to get out of the car.
“We’ll reach the cemetery by walking uphill along the left side for about a kilometer.”
This is why he insisted on taking Bai Zhi out to eat something.
The cemetery is located halfway up the mountain, requiring a walk.
"good."
Lu Ye held flowers in one hand and Bai Zhi's hand in the other as they walked uphill together.
As we approached the cemetery, the atmosphere became somber.
Even the air here feels oppressive.
Lu Ye's handsome face, with its sharp features, was tense at this moment.
Bai Zhi didn't say anything; the two of them simply walked hand in hand.
