"There's no time to lose, Dad. Give me the household registration booklet. Caiying and I are going to get our marriage certificate."
After Lu Cheng finished speaking, his father quickly brought him the household registration booklet.
He and Han Caiying then got up and went to the Civil Affairs Bureau.
After leaving the Civil Affairs Bureau, Lu Cheng and Han Caiying got their marriage certificate.
Han Chae-young held the marriage certificate, feeling like it was all unreal.
"Lu Cheng, will you regret marrying me?"
Lu Cheng sighed, "There's no use in regretting it. We're in a marriage of convenience that blossomed into love. Let's just take a gamble. I'll win, won't I, Caiying?"
"Um."
Han Chae-young nodded, and looking into his handsome eyes, she lowered her head shyly.
She felt very guilty.
After all, she was hiding something—her background, her father, and her brother.
She didn't know if this concealment was a time bomb that would eventually shatter her marriage with Lu Cheng.
But now that things have come to this, she has no choice but to continue hiding it.
She planned to wait until Lu Cheng truly fell in love with her before telling her.
After obtaining their marriage certificate, the Lu family began preparing for the wedding.
Han Caiying, on the other hand, didn't know many people, so the guest list she wrote only included Song Ning, Huo Beian, and Gu Tingzhou.
That day, she stood at the entrance of the police station with the invitation in her hand.
When Gu Tingzhou got off work, he saw her and was taken aback at first.
"Han Chae-young. Is there something you need?"
Looking at Gu Tingzhou, who was now a husband, Han Chae-young still couldn't suppress her feelings for him.
It has to be said that after marriage, Gu Tingzhou exudes a mature man's charm, and this police uniform and his long legs make him even more dashing.
There's no man more handsome than Gu Tingzhou, Han Caiying thought to herself.
"Han Chae-young? What are you thinking about?"
Gu Tingzhou noticed that she seemed to be lost in thought, so he reminded her.
Han Chae-young then came to her senses and handed him the invitation.
"Gu Tingzhou, I'm getting married. This is my invitation."
Gu Tingzhou took the invitation, glanced at the main characters of the wedding—it was Han Caiying and Lu Cheng—and frowned. “Han Caiying, are you really going to marry Lu Cheng? He’s a playboy. You can’t handle him.”
Han Caiying gave a bitter smile. "So what if I can't control you? Do I have a choice? Gu Tingzhou, you know I love you, love you to the core, but you won't accept me. I love you but can't have you, I'm in so much pain. This is the only way I can choose..."
Gu Tingzhou fell silent immediately.
He was well aware of Han Chae-young's feelings for him.
But feelings really can't be forced.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Han Caiying continued, "Gu Tingzhou, I'm getting married anyway. I just want to ask you one honest question. Can you tell me the truth?"
"What's the truth?" Gu Tingzhou looked up, wondering what she wanted to ask.
"I want to ask, have you ever liked me, ever had any feelings for me, even the slightest bit?"
Han Chae-young looked at him with expectant eyes.
Gu Tingzhou's eyes darkened, and he clenched his fist tightly for a moment, then relaxed it.
"If I had met you before Song Ning, perhaps I would have been attracted to you. But unfortunately..."
Upon hearing this, Han Chae-young finally gave up.
"Okay. Thank you. Gu Tingzhou, I understand."
She wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and ran away.
When Song Ning received Han Chae-young's invitation, she was also extremely surprised.
"Caiying, even if you want to get revenge on Gu Tingzhou, there's no need for you to be with his wife's ex-boyfriend, is there? Have you thought this through?"
Han Chae-young nodded. "I've thought it through. I just want to change my fate and find a good husband. That's why I'm clinging to Lu Cheng."
"But you've only known each other for a few days. Everyone says that Lu Cheng is a playboy and unreliable."
Han Chae-young looked at Song Ning with tears in her eyes, "Song Ning, I know you mean well, but I really have no other choice. I envy you and Shen Zhixia for having such good husbands. I want one too. I think Lu Cheng is a good catch. He's willing to marry me. It's my blessing."
Song Ning sighed. Hearing this, she felt that Han Caiying was completely possessed. She couldn't be persuaded at all.
"Okay, Chaeyoung. I hope you can be happy."
And so, Han Chae-young and Lu Cheng got married.
To ensure that Zhi Xia would feel at ease, Lu Cheng specially chose the same hotel to hold the wedding ceremony.
Han Chae-young also invited Gu Tingzhou as a guest at the wedding.
Gu Tingzhou had no choice but to bring Shen Zhixia along.
The wedding proceeded just like that, and Han Chae-young felt like she was in a dream... Hopefully, she made the right choice...
One year later...
Song Ning gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl.
Huo Beian was overjoyed.
"I'm going to be a dad! And it's twins, a boy and a girl!"
He bent down and kissed Song Ning's forehead.
"Honey, you've worked so hard! You're a hero!"
Looking at her two babies in swaddling clothes, Song Ning felt very gratified.
She thought of the stillborn baby; perhaps it had come back to find her.
Thank God for giving her the chance to be a mother again!
The Huo family was also very happy and began burning incense and praying to Buddha.
Li Yun busied herself preparing for Song Ning's postpartum period.
On the other side, Shen Zhixia also gave birth to twin daughters.
Gu Tingzhou was overjoyed.
Shen Zhixia was a little disappointed. "Honey, it's two daughters, don't you mind?"
After all, in that era, there was a strong preference for sons over daughters, and many men wanted a boy.
Unexpectedly, Gu Tingzhou didn't seem to mind and happily said, "I like daughters. Daughters are even better. Like you?"
Gu Tingzhou looked happily at the mother and baby in the swaddling clothes, and suddenly felt that the baby not only looked like Shen Zhixia, but also like Song Ning...
As for Huo Nanquan and Wang Xiaofang, Wang Xiaofang had always believed that she could not get pregnant.
But ever since she reconciled with Huo Nanquan, the two of them have stopped using protection and are often together...
That day, while Wang Xiaofang was cooking, she suddenly felt nauseous.
I went outside and threw up for a while.
She didn't pay attention at first, but later she started vomiting every day, and even her period stopped.
She then realized something was wrong, went to the clinic, and found out that she was pregnant.
"Great news! I'm pregnant!"
God knows how desperate she felt every day after she thought she couldn't have children... She even felt like people were pointing at her and talking about her when she walked down the street!
How she longed to be a mother!
Fortunately, there's always a way out!
She's pregnant again!
Overjoyed to have her lost and found, Wang Xiaofang couldn't help but tell Huo Nanquan the news. Huo Nanquan then embraced her.
"Xiaofang! This is wonderful! We have a child again!"
After overcoming numerous hardships, the two felt that the child had arrived at the perfect time!
As for Han Caiying, Lu Cheng has doted on her and treated her very well ever since they got married.
Soon, ten months later, Han Chae-young also gave birth to a daughter.
Although Lu Cheng didn't say anything, he clearly went home less often.
