Chapter 72 72. Selfishness "Is it possible to re-...
Ye Qionghua called, firstly to denounce Shi Jingzhou and Qin Muchuan for drinking all night. The Qin family had already called home, saying that Qin Muchuan had been sleeping in the green belt in the middle of the night and disturbed passersby to the police.
Secondly, he issued a strict order, asking the two to go home in the evening. After the wedding hotel was selected, they would decide on the date.
Mi Yanyan covered the receiver and mouthed, "When did you go out drinking?"
Shi Jingzhou spread his hands, "I didn't..."
Mi Yanyan: "Mom, did you make a mistake? Shi Jingzhou was at home last night."
Just as he finished speaking, Shi Jingzhou beside him suddenly said, "Oh, I forgot. I did make an appointment with him, but I waited on the sofa until you fell asleep, so I didn't go..."
Mi Yanyan: “…”
Didn’t he say he didn’t sleep well last night?
"Did he drink so much that he fell asleep on the way?" Shi Jingzhou laughed out loud, and couldn't stop even though Mi Yanyan hit his shoulder.
Ye Qionghua on the other end naturally heard it and told her son that he was fooling around. If anything happened, it would be too late to regret it.
Seeing Shi Jingzhou covering his mouth to stifle laughter, Mi Yanyan called out "Mom" in a sweet voice into the receiver. The other end immediately became much more cheerful. Mi Yanyan said, "We'll pack up and come over. When we get there, you can scold him in person."
Shi Jingzhou hadn't seen Mi Yanyan pretending to be well-behaved in front of her elders for a long time, so he pinched her face hard.
"You've always been like this," he said.
"What?" Mi Yanyan asked back.
"Like that time I caught you in the bar."
Under the dim light, Shi Jingzhou's heart skipped a beat as he looked over with a wine glass in hand.
"Oh..." Mi Yanyan remembered, "The time I didn't recognize you."
Shi Jingzhou wanted to teach her a lesson again, but Mi Yanyan ran away smiling first.
When he reached the doorstep but had not yet entered, Ye Qionghua's voice came from the window, saying that Qin Muchuan and Shi Jingzhou were extremely absurd. If the weather had not been getting warmer, they would have been drunk on the street in the cold winter.
Shi Ting followed suit and cursed, "Your son should bear the main responsibility. The Qin family said that it was Shi Jingzhou who asked people to drink, so he is the main person responsible."
Mi Yanyan pinched Shi Jingzhou's arm fiercely when she heard this: "If anything really happens to Qin Muchuan, how am I going to explain it to Wanwan?"
"I didn't go, and he was drinking because of Yu Wan."
Shi Jingzhou took a look at his arm and saw two fingernail marks embedded in it.
"Your friend doesn't want him anymore. How pitiful."
Mi Yanyan disagreed and replied, "Things that have no results will definitely be resolved as soon as possible."
This time, Yu Wan was determined to break up with Qin Muchuan. After all, the time to return to Hong Kong was getting closer, and a short pain was better than a long one.
Shi Jingzhou looked at her and said, "If you don't really get involved in many things, how can you know what will happen next?"
It was rare to hear Shi Jingzhou express his feelings about love, so Mi Yanyan teased him, "Are you talking about the two of us?"
"We've been good."
Mi Yanyan burst out laughing at the sudden seriousness. She took a step forward and took Shi Jingzhou's arm, and the two stood outside the door looking at each other.
The initial lucky fantasy of the marriage was realized step by step. She believed that she was lucky. Shi Jingzhou did prove his sincerity with his actions.
Inside the door were his parents, a model couple in the South City business community. Her previous suspicions were overturned, and Mi Yanyan even had a feeling...
Like Shi Jingzhou's parents, they will be able to rely on each other for a long time.
The missing pieces of the puzzle in her heart were gradually filled in, and Mi Yanyan also replied to him very seriously.
"Then we have to keep getting better."
"Of course, I..."
The door opened, and Shi Ting interrupted Shi Jingzhou who was about to express his loyalty. He glared and raised his hands, muttering angrily: "You kid, you you you..."
Shi Jingzhou smiled calmly, "Dad, I was at home all night and didn't go drinking with him at all."
"You're already married, why are you planning to die away from home?!" Ye Qionghua rushed over. "You should be thankful that Qin Muchuan found a green belt to lie down. If he had fallen on the main road and something had happened, you would have regretted it."
Then he pulled Mi Yanyan into the house and said, "Hurry up and set the time. Once the banquet is ready, I can live my life in peace. If I see Xiao Qin, I really have to say a few words to him. He's already grown up, but he's always making trouble."
Shi Ting slapped Shi Jingzhou on the back and told him to shut up and go in, then closed the two double doors.
As the aroma of tea wafted through the air, Mi Yanyan sat beside Ye Qionghua, intently examining the plans prepared by the wedding company on a tablet. The incredibly detailed itineraries and accompanying photos and texts showed that her mother-in-law had been worrying about the wedding quite a bit lately.
She couldn't help but pinch the hem of her skirt tightly, and licked the dead skin on the edge of her lips nervously.
Just now, the car stopped at the door of Shi's house, and she was about to get out when Shi Jingzhou stopped her.
I turned around with a confused look on my face and heard him say that he wanted to discuss the wedding date.
"postpone?"
Mi Yanyan was a little stunned. She didn't expect Shi Jingzhou to suddenly decide to postpone the banquet.
"Well, Ruisi is in turmoil right now. The previous investigation was completed and the group was severely damaged. Many projects need to be replanned. I will be very busy in the next six months. It would be too hasty to hold a banquet."
Shi Jingzhou's explanation did not reassure Mi Yanyan, so she turned around.
"Is this also why you agreed to let me go to Suzhou?"
It was somewhat difficult for her to see what Shi Jingzhou was thinking at the moment. His parents would definitely have some thoughts about the temporary postponement. It was not yet determined whether she would go to Suzhou to take up the post. Even if she really wanted to go, it was natural for her to take a week off to return to Nancheng to get married, which did not constitute a reason for postponement at all.
"Not entirely." Shi Jingzhou put one hand on the steering wheel, with a confused look in his eyes.
"We decided to get married very quickly, and it's not fair to you to be pushed along all the time."
From the time they met to the time they got their marriage certificate, they had almost no communication. He had selfish motives and understood that Mi Yanyan had irresistible reasons, but these were not the prerequisites for marriage.
On the day of getting the marriage certificate, he was always flustered. Seeing her rushing over and standing in front of him, his first words were "Aren't you going in?"
When they actually sat down at the counter, they both tried their best to suppress their awkwardness, as if they were afraid that the staff would notice that they were not familiar with each other at all.
What was Mi Yanyan doing at that time?
She clenched her fists, her legs were shaking with tension, and glanced at the couples next to her on both sides, smiling at their smiles. When she turned around, she looked at the marriage certificate with the seal on it.
I stopped smiling instantly.
He even forgot to prepare wedding candy. He took the marriage certificate rigidly and just nodded politely when he heard the staff opposite say "congratulations".
Perhaps at that second, Mi Yanyan was looking at him.
He later went there again alone and found that the moment everyone took the red book, they would look at each other deeply with tears or smiles in their eyes.
But he didn't. He just handed it to Zhou Shu first, asked him if the flight was delayed, and then walked away.
When the office was about to close, he walked up and said, "Hello, I would like to ask, is it possible..."
It was difficult to say it, and the other person gave me an expression that said, "Why don't you tell me?"
"Is it possible to get a new marriage certificate?"
"You want a divorce?"
"no!"
He also felt it was ridiculous, so he apologized and turned away. He vaguely heard people muttering that he was sick, but he was not angry at all.
However, Mi Yanyan had no idea of Shi Jingzhou's complicated and contradictory psychology at the moment.
She was a little lost. When she thought about it carefully, it was not just a little bit, but a lot. So much so that she felt very aggrieved, so much so that she didn't know when a small fork in the road would appear in her heart, so much so that tears would burst out if she said another word.
Shi Jingzhou finally continued, "I want to give you the wedding you really want."
It’s not about the responsibility of our elders, it’s not about trying to please others, it’s just us.
A warm hand supported one of her cheeks, a finger cradling the back of her neck, the remaining fingertip stroking her chin. His gaze was deep, giving her a sense of confidence for no apparent reason.
"Many things can't be changed, like getting a marriage certificate and taking wedding photos, but we still have our wedding. We shouldn't sacrifice it for grandpa's expectations or the wishes of our family. This is our wedding, even if it's just you and me. As long as we give our all, it's the best."
Wow.
Mi Yanyan shed two lines of tears.
It was too late for Shi Jingzhou to realize it.
"Oh, why are you suddenly being romantic as an old married couple..." Mi Yanyan turned her face away, but he turned her back.
"I want to try my best to make up for what I did wrong."
His voice was so gentle, and the lips he used to kiss away the tears were so gentle too.
The seat belt was unfastened with a click, and she stretched out her arms to hug Shi Jingzhou's neck. He had already kissed away his tears and moved his arms to her neck, collarbone, and the skin that required pulling her clothes to touch.
I really like being hugged and kissed by him.
Mi Yanyan thought in a very unpromising way that maybe physical love was the important reason why they could maintain their relationship until today.
Start to enjoy and indulge in the time together. It doesn't matter what you do or don't do anything. As long as you are together, you have endless energy. But when you are separated, you will start to store up thoughts and wait for the next meeting to release love more strongly.
Mi Yanyan took a breath and asked him softly, "How do we tell Mom and Dad? Mom has been preparing for this for a long time and I'm afraid she'll be disappointed."
He traced his rosy lips and promised, just as he had on the day of their wedding, "I'll do it, don't worry."
Mi Yanyan nodded, but her mood was completely different from that time.
Time has changed him, and it has also changed himself in a real way.
"Postponed???" Ye Qionghua dropped the tablet in a slam, looking at the unfilial son in front of her in disbelief who said seriously that he wanted to postpone the wedding. She instantly covered her chest and hurriedly pressed her forehead, feeling uncomfortable all over.
Shi Ting came in from the balcony, still holding the orchid pot he had cared for for years. He wanted to smash it but couldn't bring himself to do so. He placed it on the table intact and cursed, "Nonsense."
It was rare to see Shi Ting get angry, so Mi Yanyan quickly came to the rescue: "Mom and Dad, it's actually because of me. I might have some changes at work, and I'll be seconded out of town for six months."
"That's not a problem. The wedding ceremony will only take one day. We can finish it during the weekend." Ye Qionghua was still trying to get it done.
Mi Yanyan looked at Shi Jingzhou. Ye Qionghua's thoughts were exactly the same as hers. Her reasoning was far-fetched. Unfortunately, the man leaning against the wall, one hand in his pocket and one leg slightly bent at the knee, didn't look like he was about to change his mind.
"It's none of her business. I was the one who suggested the extension."
Shi Ting lifted the orchid pot up again, trembling. Ye Qionghua had been furious just now, but now she slowly realized that something was wrong. With a flicker of her eyes, she asked, "Hey, aren't you two trying to get pregnant? Shi Jingzhou, did you ask Xiao Qin out for drinks?"
She felt that things were not that simple, with drinking and postponing the wedding.
A spring thunder split the sky, tearing a huge hole in the dark sky. The white light, carrying Shi Jingzhou's gloomy tone, hit the vital point directly.
"I had a sterilization and don't plan to have children for the time being."
