Chapter 8 Are you two getting married voluntarily?
Xu Xian felt extremely awkward sitting in Jiang Shibai's car again. She realized that this car might be the one from that night.
Jiang Shibai's driving speed slowed down significantly and his concentration increased, but he could sense the discomfort of the people around him and diverted some of his attention.
As if sensing the source of her discomfort, Jiang Shibai's gentle eyes were tinged with a smile, and he said in a casual tone, "It's not that car."
He owns more than one Hongqi car.
Xu Xian's body froze visibly, and he pretended to be dumbfounded. "What did you say? I don't understand."
After saying that, he pretended to pick up his phone to check the message, but the page actually stayed on the desktop.
As long as she chooses to forget and hide, she can pretend that the thing does not exist.
Jiang Shibai chuckled softly, and the low laughter was particularly abrupt in the small space. It all fell into Xu Xian's ears. The white and tender tips of his ears suddenly turned red and hot. His eyes darted around, finally landing on the green belt outside the window.
The two arrived at the Civil Affairs Bureau in silence and went to take photos first.
Both of them were wearing white shirts with a red background behind them, and they looked inexplicably suitable sitting in front of the camera.
The staff member looked at the space between the two people in the camera and said, "The two newlyweds are too far apart. Move closer."
Without waiting for Xu Xian's reaction, Jiang Shibai, who was sitting upright, moved his position, and the distance from the width of a palm was reduced to a gap of only a finger.
The crisp mint scent silently penetrated Xu Xian's nose, refreshing his heart, mixed with a hint of the fragrance of shower gel.
"Okay, both of you smile." The staff continued to direct.
Xu Xian and Jiang Shibai smiled together. Compared with the natural look on Jiang Shibai's face, Xu Xian's expression was a little stiff and tense.
After taking the photo, the two lined up to get a number to register their marriage. Almost every couple who passed by them had a smile on their face, or snuggled up and whispered.
The two of them were surprisingly consistent, with expressionless faces, each browsing their phones.
"Please go to the marriage registration window, No. 52, please..."
Jiang Shibai put away his phone and looked at Xu Xian almost as soon as the first word sounded in the hall broadcast.
Xu Xian slowly turned off the screen and followed him to the marriage registration window.
As soon as they sat down, Jiang Shibai handed their ID cards to the staff. The staff glanced at the photos on the ID cards, then looked up at the two of them, with no expression on his face, but secretly complaining in his heart.
Young couples getting married these days are really good-looking.
The combination of handsome men and beautiful women always makes people stop and stare. Just now, when the two of them entered the Civil Affairs Bureau together, they received many astonishing looks, and they were used to it.
Xu Xian looked at the staff and then at the two of them, feeling helpless. The man next to him had a noble temperament, was elegant and gentle, and his wealth of cultivation could not be concealed. He was handsome and somewhat attractive.
The staff handed them two marriage registration forms and said, "Fill in the information first."
After Jiang Shibai and Xu Xian finished filling in their respective information, the next column was the other party's information. Xu Xian glanced at Jiang Shibai and saw that he filled in her information smoothly.
This surprised her. She didn't seem to have introduced herself to him before.
But now is not the time to think about these things. Xu Xian pursed his lips, hesitant to speak, "When was your birth date?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the staff member looked at the two of them suspiciously. She always felt that the young couple was unfamiliar with each other as they had not spoken a word from beginning to end.
Jiang Shibai was slightly stunned, pointed to the date on the ID card, and added: "Master's degree, marital status is single..."
Xu Xian looked at the date above and estimated the age difference between the two. The difference was not that big. She was twenty-five and he was twenty-nine.
Fill in his information one by one and sign his name at the end.
The staff member looked at them with growing confusion. Even if they had met through a blind date, they wouldn't have known their marital status, right? Thinking of this, they adhered to a businesslike attitude and asked, "Are you two getting married voluntarily?"
The look on her face almost showed that the woman was being coerced.
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Xu Xian's face. She glanced at Jiang Shibai timidly, but saw that he was staring at her with a smile on his face, without saying a word, and there was a hint of teasing in his gentle eyes.
"It's voluntary, it's voluntary." The more Xu Xian spoke, the less confident he became.
Seeing this, the staff member didn't say much. He took the registration form of the two and finally stamped the marriage certificate.
"Congratulations to both of you, and I wish you a long and happy life together."
"Thank you." Jiang Shibai took the marriage certificate and thanked him politely, his voice extremely gentle.
The two walked out of the Civil Affairs Bureau. The driveway was bustling with people, and the warm sun shone on their bodies, bringing some warmth.
Xu Xian glanced at the marriage certificate in Jiang Shibai's hand and felt that he had no intention of giving her a copy, so she didn't say anything.
"Let's go, I'll take you to the hospital for a check-up." Jiang Shibai opened the passenger door and placed one hand on top of the door to prevent it from being bumped.
Xu Xian was not used to his meticulous care at first, but now he is able to take it with ease.
After getting into the car, Jiang Shibai started the car and called the hospital on the way, probably to arrange for her to be examined first.
Jiang Shibai accompanied Xu Xian throughout the entire examination at the hospital, so he was not too nervous.
When the report was handed to the female doctor, she frowned, looked at the report over and over again, and remained silent.
Xu Xian suddenly became nervous and looked up at Jiang Shibai. He pursed his lips, held her shoulders, patted them gently, and comforted her silently.
"According to the report, Mrs. Jiang, you are not pregnant."
Jiang Shibai, who was always calm, lost his composure and stared at her and asked, "But we took five pregnancy tests and all showed pregnancy. She didn't have her period and she vomited twice today."
Xu Xian nodded quickly.
They are married but not pregnant. Doesn't that mean both she and he are getting married for the second time?
Facing Jiang Shibai's indifferent gaze, the female doctor said stubbornly, "Pregnancy is mainly determined by the hCG value. Although your hCG value is high, the B-ultrasound and other tests do not show that you are pregnant."
"There are many reasons why HCG levels may be high. Have you been eating anything recently?"
Jiang Shibai didn't know what Xu Xian ate, so he could only look at her, his indifferent eyes somewhat gentle.
Xu Xian thought about her recent diet. She had a poor appetite and only ate everyday food, but she often drank honey water.
"Does honey water count? I drank it before using the test strip."
The female doctor nodded in understanding and began to explain, "Irregular menstruation can cause hormonal imbalances, so pregnancy tests may not be accurate. Plus, you consumed too much honey water, which can cause vomiting."
"Does that mean I'm not pregnant?"
The female doctor nodded affirmatively and advised, "Your menstrual irregularities are quite serious and need to be managed properly. You can see a Chinese medicine doctor."
"Thank you!" Jiang Shibai's face showed no emotion, neither disappointment nor joy. He calmly led Xu Xian out of the clinic.
After walking a few steps, Xu Xian stopped in the corridor, grabbed the cuff of Jiang Shibai's shirt, pulled it gently, and then stopped.
"I'm sorry!" In fact, she didn't understand why she said sorry, but she always had the illusion of feeling sorry for Jiang Shibai.
Not being pregnant is a good thing.
Maybe it was her guilt that caused Jiang Shibai to remarry!
If I had known earlier, I would have come to the hospital for a check-up, and avoided such a big mistake.
Jiang Shibai was holding the report in his hand. Seeing her staring at him pitifully, with a faint light of water in her eyes, he subconsciously pinched her soft cheek and said in a gentle tone, "What are you sorry for?"
"It's causing you to get married for the second time." Xu Xian felt that Jiang Shibai married for the sake of having children. Now that they don't have any children, it's natural for them to get a divorce. "While the Civil Affairs Bureau is still open, let's go back and get a certificate?"
"Don't worry, I don't want a penny of your property."
