Chapter 41 Cen Yan, this sister-in-law is quite interesting.
Although Qi Jingchuan's answer and actions had clearly shown his attitude, Cen Yan still wanted to hear him say "I do" in person.
Qi Jingchuan gazed at her intently for a long while before speaking, "The marriage certificate should be approved in the next couple of days. Get ready, and let me know if you need anything."
"So fast?"
"Speed is of the essence in war; it's just basic military procedure," the man said in a deep voice.
Cen Yan was unaware that long before she arrived, Qi Jingchuan had received the telegram and stayed up all night to write the marriage application, which he then submitted the next day.
It's been seven or eight days now, and usually there will be results within ten days.
Moreover, as the regimental commander, his superiors would likely approve his application as soon as possible out of consideration for him.
Cen Yan wanted to ask something more, but the man, tall and long-legged, walked out of the office in just two steps.
She had no choice but to follow behind him, jogging as far as she could, trying to keep pace with him.
"Finished talking?" Leng Feng was waiting outside. As soon as he saw Cen Yan come out, he stubbed out the cigarette he had half-smoked.
"Okay, go call and urge them when the marriage application will be approved. Also, go to the state-run restaurant and book a few tables for the wedding banquet. We'll have the banquet in a few days when we have some free time."
After making the arrangements, Qi Jingchuan remembered his current status as a married man, so he turned to ask Cen Yan for her opinion.
"Do you think this will work?"
Cen Yan originally wanted to say that she would not hold a banquet, but then she thought that if she did not hold a banquet, it would not be proper and who would know that she was Qi Jingchuan's wife?
What if the law enforcement team is really that free and comes to Dongming Island to arrest her, and Qi Jingchuan happens to be away, so there's no one to testify about her status as a military dependent?
Yes, this banquet is a must!
"I have no objection, I'll listen to you." Cen Yan tried her best to play the role of a good wife, giving Qi Jingchuan plenty of face in public.
As he spoke, he took out a roll of Big Black Ten from his bag and handed it over.
"Here are two hundred yuan, Instructor Leng. Thank you for your hard work in arranging our wedding."
“…” Leng Feng looked at Qi Jingchuan and noticed a hint of frustration in his eyes. Yes, who wouldn’t be frustrated in this situation?
When the men hold their wedding banquet, the women are eager to pay for it.
Cen Yan's sister-in-law is quite something. They haven't even registered their marriage yet, but she already has control over the finances?
Leng Feng and Qi Jingchuan exchanged glances, and the man's face immediately turned cold.
He pushed the money back into Cen Yan's bag, his voice slightly cold, "I have money!"
Cen Yan thought to herself, "Qi Jingchuan is quite chauvinistic. Does he think it's shameful to spend a woman's money?"
Fine! Then she'll play the role of a dutiful wife and satisfy Qi Jingchuan's male chauvinism.
Thinking this, Qi Jingchuan noticed that Cen Yan's expression and demeanor were much more docile than before.
Like a harmless rabbit.
Qi Jingchuan didn't ask too many questions, but told Leng Feng two things.
They urged me to submit my marriage application and also booked a banquet at a state-run restaurant.
Cen Yan didn't interrupt, letting Qi Jingchuan make arrangements. She then got into the military vehicle and let Qi Jingchuan take her wherever he wanted.
Before long, Cen Yan was led by Qi Jingchuan to a residential area full of red-tiled houses.
Only after hearing Qi Jingchuan's casual introduction did Cen Yan realize that this was the family compound of the naval forces.
For officers like Qi Jingchuan, their superiors would allocate them single-story houses with their own courtyards when they got married.
Those below the battalion level are allocated housing and their families are allowed to accompany them, allowing the family to reunite.
Cen Yan hadn't expected such good living conditions. She had prepared herself to retreat into her spatial dimension to rest every night. It seemed she had underestimated Qi Jingchuan.
