After Li Wei had packed up, the two of them walked out of the small building, one in front and one behind, and headed towards the main building in silence.
In the dim morning light, Liang Qiushi was the only one sitting at the long table in the restaurant of the Gu family's main building, eating his meal in an elegant manner.
There was a maid beside her who would clean her plates and replace her hot towels from time to time, and the air of luxury was overwhelming.
The breakfast is as exquisite as a work of art, each portion is small and exquisite, and the presentation is pleasing to the eye.
Li Wei had never seen such exquisite food, but she had no appetite at the moment.
When I think about getting married with a man soon, I feel extremely heavy and upset.
[Ah——so annoying!]
She held a small silver spoon and poked the bird's nest porridge in front of her from time to time, but her eyes couldn't help but drift towards Liang Qiushi, with a hint of resentment in her eyes.
Liang Qiushi's hand holding the coffee cup stopped in mid-air, feeling a little embarrassed.
She put down the cup, her voice still gentle: "I'm sorry, Xue, I was negligent..."
"It's mainly because we're pressed for time," she explained. "The wedding is scheduled for August 2nd, so it's only a week away."
Li Wei's eyelids jumped when she heard this. The wedding was going to be held in a week?!
This speed is too fast!
But then he thought again, Gu Jinzhi will be going to Western Xinjiang in September, and he needs to replace him, so he really needs to reserve some buffer time.
If you get married close to departure, then the purpose of marriage is too strong!
After figuring this out, and thinking about the false nature of this marriage, her mood inexplicably improved a lot.
I'm not getting married, I'm acting... I'm not getting married, I'm acting...
She repeated it in her mind over and over again, brainwashing herself.
Liang Qiushi observed her expression and saw that her brows seemed to relax a little. He breathed a sigh of relief and added:
"Don't worry, taking photos and getting the marriage certificate will be quick, and picking out a wedding dress won't take too much time either. If everything goes well, we can finish it in the morning. In the afternoon, you can go to the Martial Arts Alliance without any delay."
After hearing what Liang Qiushi said, Li Wei's mood finally brightened.
Gu Jinzhi, who was sitting next to him, was still eating meticulously. Only after Liang Qiushi finished speaking did he ask calmly, "Where are father and Jinwen and Jinyi?"
Liang Qiushi glanced at Li Wei intentionally or unintentionally, and said in a flat tone:
"Your father thought they had been slacking off lately, so he took them to the martial arts arena early this morning for extra training."
Li Wei silently ate her porridge, lighting three candles in her heart for the unfortunate brother and sister: [How miserable! How miserable!]
-----------------
After breakfast, the three of them set off together.
This time, we changed to a more spacious and luxurious silver and black two-tone car and soon arrived at the nearest Civil Affairs Bureau.
The process of taking pictures was extremely difficult.
The photographer was full of praise for the two people's amazing looks, saying "they are a perfect match" and "a golden boy and a jade girl", but he was actually complaining in his heart.
When these two people were taking photos, one had a wandering look in his eyes and the other had a blank expression. Not to mention being affectionate, there wasn't even a basic sense of familiarity between them.
"Groom, come closer! Yes!"
"Bride, look at the camera! Smile! Think of something happy!"
"Oh, yes, yes, lift the corners of your mouth a little... No, your smile is uglier than crying..."
The photographer had no choice but to do it himself.
First, he pushed the two of them until they were almost stuck together, and then he painstakingly guided them on how to express themselves.
After struggling for more than ten minutes, I finally managed to capture a picture that looked normal.
In the service hall of the marriage registration office, the two of them attracted everyone's attention, and whispers and gasps of surprise were heard one after another.
Li Wei and Gu Jinzhi had stiff expressions throughout the whole process, like two soulless puppets. Under the guidance of Liang Qiushi and the staff, they mechanically signed and pressed their fingerprints to complete all the procedures.
[Auntie Liang, I'm sorry. I wanted to pretend to be affectionate, but... I overestimated my acting skills and my psychological endurance...]
When the brand new red book was handed to her, Li Wei felt as if her fingertips were burned and her heart was empty.
It seemed as if something important had completely slipped away from me with the appearance of this book.
[Damn it, if an old acquaintance saw my marriage certificate and found out I was the one with long hair and wearing a skirt...would I still want this face?]
Holding the marriage certificate, she followed Liang Qiushi and Gu Jinzhi out of the Civil Affairs Bureau in a daze.
The luxury car did not return to the Gu family manor, but drove north and entered the luxurious business district in the north of the imperial capital.
At 10:30 in the morning, the vehicle drove into the underground parking lot of Tianchen International Commercial Center.
Next to the exclusive VIP parking space, a young girl wearing a smart business suit and gold-rimmed glasses was waiting there.
Seeing the three people get off the car, she immediately stepped forward and saluted respectfully.
"Madam, Mr. Gu, Miss Jiang, please come this way."
Led by the girl, the three took the internal elevator directly to the 78th floor.
bite--
The elevator door slid open silently, and what came into view was a spacious space full of artistic atmosphere. Outside the huge floor-to-ceiling windows was the bustling city skyline of the imperial capital.
The elegant gold-plated cursive characters "Cloud & Lace" are discreetly engraved on the frosted glass wall at the entrance.
A woman in her thirties, wearing an off-white long dress and with an elegant and gentle temperament, came up to me with an impeccable smile on her face.
"Aunt Liang, Jinzhi." She first greeted Liang Qiushi and Gu Jinzhi familiarly.
Then, his gaze fell on Li Wei, and his eyes instantly burst into a stunning light, as if he had discovered a rare treasure.
