After finishing the steamed buns and drinking the soy milk in a few bites, Nanzhi picked up the clothes Shen Xingmian had brought back, went to the bathroom to change, and put on a white shirt and black pants. Looking at herself in the mirror, she instantly looked much more energetic, and Nanzhi became even more suspicious of Shen Xingmian's words.
Isn't this the essential outfit for taking wedding photos? A red background and a white shirt make it look better in photos.
However, considering certain traits of Shen Xingmian, she didn't expose him.
Seeing that Nan Zhi had changed her clothes, Shen Xingmian's brows furrowed with satisfaction. He glanced at the time on his wristwatch and said:
"let's go."
Nan Zhi: "...Shen Xingmian, don't rush me. The Civil Affairs Bureau probably hasn't opened yet."
Shen Xingmian walked directly towards Nan Zhi. Her child was bending down to straighten her clothes when the man pulled her away.
Nanzhi: "..."
"Miss, Shen Xingmian is afraid that the cooked duck will fly away, you have to understand."
MeowMeowMachine offered an explanation, and Nanzhi rolled her eyes. Fly away? Please, Shen Xingmian has been acting strangely since last night, okay?
Besides, she's already agreed, so where else could she fly to?
The moment the two arrived at the Civil Affairs Bureau and the doors opened, the staff couldn't help but give them a strange look.
They had barely sat down when they were about to start working.
The marriage registration was completed quickly, and Shen Xingmian held the reins throughout the process. Nan Zhi only answered questions and signed documents when necessary.
When Nanzhi received those two little red books, she still felt it was not quite real. Standing outside the Civil Affairs Bureau, Nanzhi looked down at her wedding photo for the eighth time.
The girl in the photo is smiling brightly at the camera, her head resting slightly on the man's shoulder. The man's gaze is not on the camera, but rather he is looking at the girl beside him with a gentle expression, his eyes reflecting only her image.
After several attempts, Shen Xingmian still felt uncomfortable looking directly at the camera. In the end, Nanzhi chose this one, which she considered the best.
Just as she was engrossed in reading, the notebook was snatched from her hand. Nan Zhi was startled, looked up at him, and Shen Xingmian put away the red notebook, glanced down at her, and said, "I'll keep it."
Nan Zhi: "..." I can do it myself.
The car drove all the way to the hospital, and Nanzhi was taken by Shen Xingmian to Old Master Shen's ward.
Upon seeing Nan Zhi and Shen Xingmian arrive, Old Master Shen chuckled, "Zhizhi, why are you here so early today?"
Nanzhi walked over and said with a smile:
"Grandpa Shen, Shen Xingmian brought me here. Have you had breakfast?"
Old Shen glanced at his grandson and glared at him, thinking, "What a good-for-nothing."
Shen Xingmian, who was being targeted for no reason: "..."
"Why are you at the hospital instead of going to work?" Old Shen asked unhappily.
Shen Xingmian glanced at her grandfather indifferently, then raised her eyebrows and said, "Oh, I'm going to work now."
As he turned to leave, Old Shen wondered why Shen Xingmian was being so obedient today. Suddenly, his gaze fell on a red corner peeking out of Shen Xingmian's pocket.
Old Shen's eyes widened, and he hurriedly said, "Wait a minute."
Shen Xingmian's hand was already on the doorknob. Hearing this, he turned to look at Grandpa Shen and said, "Grandpa, I have to go to work."
Old Shen snorted, "Come here."
With a hint of smugness in her eyes, Shen Xingmian turned around and walked to the bedside.
Old Shen glanced at his trouser pocket, then reached out, "What's in your trousers? Take it out so I can see."
"There's nothing to see."
Old Shen glared and puffed out his beard, "I'm your grandfather, show it to me."
Trying his best to suppress the excitement in his heart, Old Shen was unsure if he was sure about the familiar red color and insisted on seeing it for himself.
Shen Xingmian reached into her pocket, rummaged around, and then coldly tossed the item onto the bed.
Nanzhi: "..."
Old Shen: "..." This kid is probably showing off on purpose.
With trembling, aged hands, he picked up the two red books from the quilt.
The three large characters on it stung Old Shen's eyes: "Marriage Certificate." He had been waiting for this for so long, and finally, his grandson was getting married.
Upon opening it and taking a look, the photo and name on it stirred a surge of excitement in Mr. Shen's heart.
With tears of joy welling up in her eyes, Nanzhi couldn't help but call out, "Grandpa Chen, what's wrong?"
Grandpa Shen wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, then looked up at Nanzhi with a smile, took her hand, and said, "Grandpa is so happy, Zhizhi, you'll be calling me Grandpa from now on."
Reminded, Nan Zhi's ears turned red, and she looked a little embarrassed. She whispered, "Grandpa."
Old Shen laughed heartily, "Good, good, good! Now even if Grandpa goes to the Yellow Springs, he will have no worries."
He was joking, but Nan Zhi and Shen Xingmian didn't like it at all.
Nanzhi frowned. "Grandpa, don't talk nonsense."
Old Shen smiled with narrowed eyes, "Alright, I won't talk nonsense anymore. Zhizhi, I'll have to trouble you to take care of Xingmian from now on."
Shen Xingmian reached out and took the marriage certificate from Old Master Shen's hand, then said coldly, "Grandpa, just focus on taking care of your health. We don't need you to worry about us."
“Xingmian has grown up. Grandpa is happy.”
Old Shen sighed, recalling how rebellious Shen Xingmian had been back then, always neglecting his studies. It had been so long that even he, the old man, couldn't remember when Xingmian had started to strive for improvement. He blamed himself for not having enough time to spend with his grandson and for not knowing what his only grandson was doing. By the time he came to his senses, the boy had already begun to take care of himself and knew not to cause trouble for his old man.
After sitting with Old Master Shen for a while, Butler Cai arrived, and Shen Xingmian took Nanzhi to the Nan family home.
"Dad, Mom."
Nan Zhi was still thinking about how to tell her parents when Shen Xingmian stepped forward and called out to Nan's parents.
Nanzhi: "..."
That's so decisive.
Nan's father's expression froze for a moment, then he looked at Shen Xingmian in disbelief, "What did you call me?"
Shen Xingmian spoke calmly:
"Zhizhi and I got our marriage certificate this morning. I'm sorry, we didn't get your permission beforehand."
Even if Shen Xingmian were given another chance, he would still take her directly to get their marriage certificate after learning Nanzhi's thoughts.
Nan's father and mother had no idea that Nan Zhi had taken the household registration booklet to register last night.
After a moment of surprise, the two calmed down.
The two had been engaged for a long time, so getting their marriage certificate was not unusual.
"Just accept it, it was bound to happen sooner or later."
Nan's father was a very open-minded father. He was always quite lenient with his children, and he never objected to the decisions made by either Nan Zhi or Nan Li.
Nan Zhi thought her parents would blame her, but they didn't. They were just a little sad. Bai Yarou frowned and said:
"Zhizhi, come home more often in the future. Your parents will miss you."
Upon hearing this, Nan Zhi was stunned. After a long pause, she turned to look at Shen Xingmian. The man's lips were slightly curved, his hands were in his pockets, and his expression seemed to be mocking Nan Zhi.
Nanzhi: "..."
