What marriage report?
Where did the marriage report come from?
Shao Jingque suddenly raised her head. She just wanted to stay in a guesthouse, so how could she get married off without realizing it?!
She opened her eyes wide and was about to speak, but Lu Zhan tugged at her sleeve under the counter without leaving any trace. In a moment of distraction, she heard the front desk clerk laugh and say:
"No wonder I'm meeting my sister-in-law for the first time. Did she just arrive in Ning City today? Did she come all the way to see Captain Lu to report her marriage? Congratulations! Don't forget us when you hand out wedding candy!"
"Eh? My sister-in-law's name hasn't been filled in yet. What's your name, sister-in-law?"
Before Shao Jingque could figure out whether to answer, Lu Zhan beside him said calmly:
"Shao startled the magpie."
"Oh, sister-in-law, what a nice name! And you're beautiful too. You two are truly a match made in heaven!"
The front desk clerk said something auspicious while quickly completing the formalities and handed over a key:
"Sister-in-law, this is the key to room 202, the second room after the stairs on the second floor."
The second one again!
When Shao Jingque heard these three words, his heart trembled.
She inexplicably thought of the room in the Yue family that was in the same location, and subconsciously raised her eyelids to look at Lu Zhan.
But she was caught red-handed by Lu Zhan who was also looking at her. He looked calm on the surface, but there was clearly an inexplicable undercurrent in his eyes.
He took the key and handed it to her, with a hint of a smile on his lips:
"The second room, don't go to the wrong one this time."
It was rare to see a smile on Lu Zhan's face, but Shao Jingque felt that he was even scarier than when he wasn't smiling. His current smile seemed to indicate that he was going to settle a score with her.
Seeing that she was stunned and didn't react, Lu Zhan directly stuffed the key into her hand:
"It's late. You should get some rest first. We'll talk about 'other things' tomorrow."
The warmth from his fingertips touched the slightly cool skin on the back of her hand, like an electric shock, causing a strange fluctuation in the hearts of both of them at the same time.
There were clearly undercurrents of affection between the two, but in the eyes of the front desk clerk, it was just a show of love and affection.
The front desk attendant who was eating melons in the front row was full of envy. It turned out that under the legendary thousand-year-old iceberg of Captain Lu, there was a hot heart. Unfortunately, this heart only beats for this beautiful girl named Shao Jingque!
Oh, tomorrow when Xiaoli and the others get to work, they will learn that Captain Lu is about to marry his girlfriend. I wonder how many people will cry!
Seeing Shao Jingque was hesitant to move, the receptionist thought the two were inseparable and quickly tried to persuade them:
"Sister-in-law, your marriage report hasn't been approved yet, so Captain Lu can't live with you today! Just listen to Captain Lu and go upstairs to rest early. Tomorrow morning, submit the report to the regiment headquarters. Once the political commissar approves it, you two can live together every day, right? One day won't make a difference, ah!"
Shao Jingque's face flushed red after hearing these words, and he hurriedly began to explain:
"No, that's not what I meant..."
Lu Zhan looked at her shy and embarrassed look and found it a little funny. He suppressed the upward curve of his mouth and said:
"Comrade, I'll help her carry her luggage up and then come back down, okay?"
The front desk clerk took one look at the large bundle of sheets and nodded understandingly:
"Okay, no problem. You can help your sister-in-law clean up before going downstairs."
If anyone says that Captain Lu is an iceberg again, she will be the first to jump out and speak up for him. It is hard to find such a good man who cares about his wife!
Lu Zhan went upstairs with his luggage. The waiter said to Shao Jingque with envy:
"Sister-in-law, you really married the right man. Everyone in our regiment knows that Captain Lu is a rare and excellent man. You really have good taste!"
Shao Jingque, who had no way to explain, could only smile awkwardly at the waiter and quickly followed.
Lu Zhan stood at the door of the room waiting for her to open it. She couldn't help but ask:
"You just mentioned the marriage report..."
Before she could finish her question, Lu Zhan raised his hand to silence her and said in a low voice:
"Let's talk inside."
The corridor of the guesthouse was indeed not a good place to talk, so Shao Jingque could only bear it for the time being.
The two men opened the door and entered the room. The conditions in the military district guesthouse were good. The single room had an independent toilet for simple washing, and it was fully equipped with a large bed, table and chairs.
Lu Zhan put down his luggage, looked around, and said:
"You pack up first. I'll go buy you some toiletries. You can go to the cafeteria on the first floor to eat early tomorrow. If you don't have a ticket, just put it on my account. I'll come to sell it after get off work."
Shao Jingque didn't rush to pack his luggage. Instead, he stood there looking at Lu Zhan with burning eyes, waiting for his answer.
Although she was very grateful to Lu Zhan for helping her solve her urgent accommodation problem, she couldn't risk herself just by staying in a guesthouse. She had to ask clearly if she needed to.
When Lu Zhan turned around, he saw Shao Jingque staring at him silently. He couldn't help feeling a little surprised - what was that look in her eyes?
He frowned slightly, his chest felt strangely stuffy, and he stood there without saying a word.
It was Shao Jingque who couldn't help but break the deadlock between the two and said carefully:
"Captain Lu, thank you for your help tonight, but I still want to ask, is it really okay that the marriage report has been registered?"
Shao Jingque thought about it and the most reasonable explanation was that Lu Zhan lied to the front desk in order to help her check in.
But he is a soldier. Wouldn’t registering a fake marriage report have an impact on him?
What was even more puzzling to her was who would carry around a household registration booklet and a marriage report with their information already filled in? Was he planning to go out on the streets and conscript men, and marry whoever he caught?
However, Lu Zhan misunderstood the meaning of her words:
"That's okay. I'll submit the report to the Political Commissar's office tomorrow morning. It won't cause any trouble for the comrades at the front desk."
Shao Jingque was stunned. She and Lu Zhan were both speaking Chinese, so why did it seem like they couldn't understand what the other was saying?
"Wait, what do you mean by submitting the report? Are you really going to marry me?"
In a hurry, Shao Jingque blurted out the questions in his mind.
Lu Zhan was stunned when he saw her face turn red instantly. Of course, the marriage report had to be submitted to the organization for approval. How could this be a joke?
Suddenly thinking of something, Lu Zhan's face stiffened instantly, and his voice became colder:
"After what happened today, of course I will be responsible for you. I'll leave the household registration book with you. Once the report is approved, we can get the marriage certificate at any time."
It turned out that he had returned from Yue Mansion to get his household registration book from the army and had also prepared a marriage report. He wanted to give the household registration book to Shao Jingque to reassure her that he would definitely be responsible for her.
But now, seeing Shao Jingque's big reaction, Lu Zhan felt that he seemed to have forgotten a very important point:
"Or, you don't want to marry me?"
