Chapter 51 Obtaining the Marriage Certificate
Today, Zhou Mingshi didn't ask Assistant Chen to call him; he came out of his room before dawn.
Assistant Chen always gets up early. When he saw him come out, he subconsciously glanced at his watch. It was 6:30.
He had been working for his boss for several years and had never gotten up this early without being called. It was as if the sun had risen in the west.
He said, "Breakfast isn't ready yet..."
Zhou Mingshi said, "It's okay, I'll go exercise."
After finishing his workout and taking a shower, Zhou Mingshi sat in a dining chair, slowly ate his breakfast, went back to his room to change, and then asked Assistant Chen, "Is this outfit okay?"
Assistant Chen: "President Zhou has a great figure; he looks good in anything."
Zhou Mingshi: "Let's not talk about the facts."
Assistant Chen thought to himself, "So confident!"
As someone's personal assistant, you have to be able to handle all sorts of problems your boss might have at any time. He then said, "The suit and shirt were specially made for your engagement. The classic business style shows maturity and composure. How could it not be good? It's perfect."
Actually, he felt that it was similar to the clothes he usually wore.
Mr. Zhou is very particular about every piece of clothing. He is very picky about both the cut and the workmanship, and designers dare not give him a casual answer.
Zhou Mingshi checked the time: "It's getting late, let's go to the Lin family to pick up Yi'an."
After getting into the car and taking out his phone, Zhou Mingshi saw Lin Yi'an's message and couldn't help but smile.
Holding the phone in one hand, she slowly tapped the screen with the other: "I waited for a while last night but didn't receive a message from you. I thought you were shy..."
After Lin Yi'an finished breakfast and returned to her room, she saw his message: "Why are you shy?"
Zhou Mingshi: "I'm praising how cute you are."
Lin Yi'an: "Aren't you shy?"
Zhou Mingshi: "No."
Lin Yi-an: "No, not at all. Many people have said I'm cute since I was little."
Zhou Mingshi replied with six dots.
Lin Yi'an didn't guess what he meant and replied with six dots.
Zhou Mingshi: "Yi'an, are you going to learn from me?"
Lin Yi'an: "Mm."
At the traffic light, the car stopped. Assistant Chen glanced at his boss in the rearview mirror and saw him looking relaxed, holding his phone. Then, as if seeing something, the smile in his eyes deepened, and his joy was impossible to hide...
He was certain that they were chatting with Dr. Lin.
They're in love!
Thinking of this, he became excited.
As Mr. Zhou's personal assistant and driver, having been by his side for several years, no one knows Mr. Zhou's love life better than him.
Let alone chatting with girls, even when going on blind dates or having meals, there are usually elders present. This is definitely the first time he has ever seen someone holding a phone and chatting with someone with such a smug look on their face.
This is definitely love!
When he arrived at the Lin family home, Lin Yi'an had already changed her clothes and put on makeup, and was sitting in the living room waiting for him.
Seeing him arrive, Wang Yuehua straightened her daughter's clothes again: "Go on, call home after you get the marriage certificate."
After saying that, the couple saw them out.
As he got into the car, Zhou Mingshi's gaze fell on Lin Yi'an, and he smiled, "Very beautiful."
Lin Yi'an glanced at him, smiled, and said, "You're very handsome too."
Zhou Mingshi joked with a smile, "We're getting our marriage certificate soon. Is Yi'an putting into practice what it means to be a wife who follows her husband's lead?"
Lin Yi'an looked up: "It's true that I'm praising your looks."
Zhou Mingshi: "What if it doesn't look good?"
Lin Yi-an: "I would say you look very energetic today."
"No matter what you say, you won't embarrass the other person." Zhou Mingshi praised her with a smile, "Smart."
Lin Yi-an: "Because we are going to get our marriage certificate and become husband and wife, I am very satisfied with you and I will not embarrass you. Most people would not do that."
Zhou Mingshi said, "It's alright, I can follow the wife's lead."
Lin Yi'an glanced at him: "If I'm right, then you listen to me. If I'm wrong, then you can't listen to me. Listen to whoever is right."
Zhou Mingshi laughed and said, "Alright, let's listen to whoever is right."
He himself chose this clear-headed and rational wife.
Thinking about this made me feel even better.
Assistant Chen was driving and listening to their conversation. He felt that his boss still had a lot to work on. Dr. Lin was clearly not in a romantic relationship yet, but that didn't matter. They would get their marriage certificate soon and continue to cultivate their feelings in the future.
Upon arriving at the Civil Affairs Bureau, the two took photos respectfully and filled out the forms dutifully.
Both were of marriageable age. The staff followed the rules, and since the conditions were met and the documents were complete, they printed out the marriage certificates without saying a word and stamped the two marriage certificates with a bright red seal.
The couple looked at their marriage certificate while Assistant Chen handed out candy to the staff behind them.
After leaving the Civil Affairs Bureau and getting into the car, Zhou Mingshi looked at Lin Yi'an and smiled, saying, "Hello, wife!"
Lin Yi paused for a moment: "...You adapted so quickly?"
Wife, you just open your mouth and say it!
Zhou Mingshi: "Once we got the marriage certificate, we were already in the zone."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yi'an felt that she needed to learn from him in this regard, and tentatively asked, "Husband...husband?"
Zhou Mingshi moved closer to her: "Old husband?"
Lin Yi'an sat up straight: "I... am not used to it. I have never called anyone that before. It's my first time and I need time to get used to it."
Looking at her slightly flushed face, Zhou Mingshi couldn't help but reach out and pinch it, and said with a smile, "It's okay, take your time to get used to it, no rush."
Lin Yi-an: "It won't be very slow."
Zhou Mingshi's tone softened unconsciously: "Okay."
Assistant Chen sat motionless in the driver's seat, not daring to disturb the two in the slightest, and even felt that starting the car at this moment would be a sin.
After a few seconds, Lin Yi'an asked, "Shall we go to the hotel now?"
Zhou Mingshi glanced at his watch: "It's almost eleven o'clock, let's go to the hotel."
Hearing their conversation, Assistant Chen silently started the car.
On the way, Lin Yi'an couldn't help but look at the marriage certificate in her hand. Such a small book had changed their status.
Zhou Mingshi noticed her staring at the marriage certificate and asked, "What are you looking at?"
Lin Yi'an: "This one notebook changed our identities!"
Zhou Mingshi: "Because it is a marriage certificate recognized by our country."
Lin Yi'an smiled and said, "Mm."
Zhou Mingshi then asked, "Doesn't it feel a bit unreal?"
Lin Yi'an nodded.
Zhou Mingshi: "When we have a wedding, our relatives and friends from both sides will be there to celebrate, which makes the event feel more real. That's why weddings are so important."
Lin Yi'an nodded and said, "Give them a call and tell them we've gotten our marriage certificate."
Zhou Mingshi: "Hmm."
After finishing the phone call, the two talked for a while before arriving at the hotel.
At this time, people from the Lin and Zhou families had already arrived.
Sun Yurong came too; she couldn't not come.
On important occasions, the old man and the old lady have to come, and her two children have to be there too. If she doesn't come, then she'll be all alone at home.
Even if it's awkward and uncomfortable, she has to come, even if it's tough.
The Lin and Zhou families had no interest in her; they were all focused on the two newlywed couples.
As soon as Wang Yuehua and Tan Qingwen saw the two children come in, they couldn't wait to see their marriage certificate.
The two men smiled and handed them their marriage certificate.
Tan Qingwen took the marriage certificate from Lin Yi'an and looked at her son's and An'an's names on it. She was a little excited. Her son had grown up and gotten married.
Thinking of this, she grasped Lin Yi'an's hand and smiled broadly: "An'an, you and Mingshi have gotten your marriage certificate, so from now on, you'll be my child."
After saying that, she took a document out of her bag: "This is a wedding gift from Mom to you."
Zhou Kanghui's mouth moved faster than his hands: "A wedding gift—a document? What is it?"
After saying that, he leaned closer to look and only saw the word "shares." He suddenly widened his eyes: "You want to give your daughter-in-law shares in the company?"
Tan Qingwen smiled and looked at him: "My son is getting married, and as his mother, I'm just giving my daughter-in-law a few shares as a gift for changing her address."
"So what do you, as the father, plan to give your daughter-in-law as a gift for changing her address? Fathers and mothers have the same status, so if you don't give her enough, it won't be presentable."
Zhou Kanghui: "...We can't just give away shares too, can we?"
He had prepared a gift, and after his son reminded him, he realized the gift was quite heavy. However, he hadn't intended to give shares, since he was his parents' son and already owned some shares in the group.
Zhou Mingshi said from the side, "If you want to give it to us, we won't refuse."
