Zhou Qi was just feeling relieved when he heard her say she was going to move back to the rented house. He was shocked. He hadn't done anything yet, but his wife was afraid of him. This was too much.
"Then why do you want to go back?" Zhou Qizhen asked gently, afraid of really scaring her.
"It hasn't been made public yet! I told Sister Jia that you proposed to me, but I didn't tell her that we had registered. And you weren't at home. I was scared to be alone in such a big house."
"Well, I didn't think it through. What does my wife think?"
Lu Xiaoqiao felt her hands were a little cold, so she put them in her pockets, thought for a moment, and said, "How about this, I usually stay at your place, and when you're away on business, I'll come back to stay. Do you think this is okay?"
Zhou Qizhen didn't dare to disagree, for fear that if he asked too much, his wife would think that he registered his marriage with her just for that matter.
"Okay, I'll have someone pick you up tonight and bring your suitcase back. You can spend the next two days packing up what you need to move, and I'll help you move it when I come back from my business trip to pick you up."
"Yeah, okay."
After the two of them hung up the phone, Zhou Qizhen asked Secretary Ding to bring in his lunch.
On the first day of work in the new year, Zhou Qi was so busy that he didn't even have time to drink a sip of water. The few days he spent at Lu Xiaoqiao's house previously, although it was during the Chinese New Year period, had left him with a lot of work to do.
I ate just a few bites of rice, barely suppressed my hunger, put down my cutlery and sat back in my office chair.
After thinking for a while, he picked up his phone, found Mr. Lu's phone number, hesitated for a long time, and finally called.
You must tell someone about your marriage certificate when you get their daughter, which is also a kind of respect for the two elderly people.
When the call was connected, Mr. Lu was working at home. When he saw that it was Zhou Qizhen calling, he was a little confused.
"Hello? Qi Zheng! Why are you calling at this time?"
"dad!"
Father Lu: “…”
Mr. Lu thought he was hard of hearing and didn't hear clearly. As he got older, he had a lot of things to do and couldn't hear clearly.
"Qi Zheng, what did you just say? Uncle didn't hear you clearly!"
"Dad! Xiao Qiao and I have obtained our marriage certificate!"
Father Lu: “…”
Got the certificate? This guy was really quick!
I just told him yesterday that as long as Xiao Qiao is willing, I won't care even if we get the certificate today. Is that it?
Without hearing Father Lu's reply, Zhou Qizhen continued, "I received it this morning."
Father Lu sighed, feeling a little aggrieved: "Aren't you talking nonsense? You two just got off the plane at midnight yesterday."
Are you blocking the door of the Civil Affairs Bureau and waiting for them to start working before you go to collect it?
Things have come to this point, and both parents have agreed. Although he is a little reluctant, there is no reason to be unreasonable. As long as his daughter is willing, the two of them just need to live a good life!
"Qi Zheng! I still say the same thing. I only have one request for you, and that is to never let my daughter suffer any injustice."
Zhou Qizheng said sincerely: "Dad, don't worry, I won't let you and Mom down."
"Well, just remember what you said. Also, wait until you come to propose marriage before telling others. I'm afraid that someone will gossip about me then."
There will definitely be rumors that they got the marriage certificate without proposing, which must be due to other things. Although the innocent are innocent, such words are indeed unpleasant to hear. Now that I think about it, I feel a little regretful that I let the two of them register this matter first. The father and son of the Zhou family sang the same tune, and I don't know why they agreed to it that day.
"Dad, Xiao Qiao and I have the same plan. I'll mail the household registration booklet back to you today!"
"Well, mail it back to the address on the household registration book."
"Okay, thank you, Dad. Then you can tell Mom. If there's nothing else, I'll hang up now. You go ahead and do your work."
Zhou Qizhen had solved a big problem here, and he was in a good mood and asked Secretary Ding to mail the household registration booklet back to Father Lu. He also secretly put a bank card into the fold of the household registration booklet.
It would be even more perfect if I didn’t have to go on a business trip today!
…
Li Yuxuan came over to hand over a document for Zhou Qizhen to sign, and saw Shen Yi was there too.
"Hey! Old Shen is here too! Come on, Old Zhou, hurry up and help me sign this document. I'm waiting for it. Which company can be as busy as our Jiang Heng on the first day of work?"
Zhou Qizhen took the document, reviewed it, signed it, and handed it back to Li Yuxuan: "I'm going on a business trip to Shenzhen today. Can you go in my place?"
Li Yuxuan looked at him in surprise: "Why? What else do you want? Didn't you just come back from the Northeast? I came here this morning, but you weren't here. What are you going to do now?"
"I'm mainly worried that my wife will be unhappy."
Li Yuxuan: “…”
Shen Yi: “…”
Shen Yi asked in disbelief: "What did you just say?"
Zhou Qizhen leaned back in his chair leisurely, the curve of his lips showing his current mood.
"Nothing, just me and my wife registered!"
Li Yuxuan sat back on the chair opposite Zhou Qi and said with some disdain: "Tsk! Stop bragging! Who would believe it?"
"That's right, who would believe it?" Shen Yi also said.
"Then let you open your eyes." Zhou Qizhen said, and took out the marriage certificate from the drawer of his desk, which he had admired alone for more than ten times.
Li Yuxuan saw that he really took it out and said doubtfully, "It can't be fake!"
Shen Yi also stood up from the sofa, walked to the desk, and reached out to take the red book on the desk: "Let me see if it's real."
Zhou Qizheng covered it with his hand: "Don't damage it!"
Shen Yi: “…”
The marriage certificate was slowly opened in front of them, and both of them stretched their necks to take a closer look.
Both people in the photo are wearing white shirts. Against the red background, the man is handsome and the woman is pretty and charming.
Below the photo is a steel seal deeply embedded in the paper, symbolizing that the two are a legal couple.
Li Yuxuan sat back in his chair: "Sure, Old Zhou, didn't you see that? Didn't your father-in-law dislike you because you're too old? How do you explain it? You didn't trick the girl into stealing her household registration booklet and getting the certificate with you, did you?"
Shen Yi still looked "irritated" and wanted to take another look at the marriage certificate to see if it was real, but Zhou Qizhen took it away with the excuse that he was afraid it might be spoiled.
Shen Yi looked at Zhou Qizhen with a bit of envy: "How did you manage to deal with it? Do you have any good tricks that you secretly use? If you are a buddy, then show them to me."
Zhou Qizheng put away the marriage certificate and leaned back in his chair: "Two words, sincerity."
Shen Yi: "If you don't want to talk about it, forget it. By the way, when are you going to hold the wedding?"
"I will announce it to the public after I propose on November 1st. I told you two first so that you two can prepare the red envelopes first."
Li Yuxuan sneered: "What's there to pretend about? Just say you want to show off to us! And the red envelopes. In terms of wealth, we can't compare to you! What else do you lack from my three melons and two dates?"
