Yi Yi smiled, and Mu Nanxun was about to explode. He turned around and went back to the fitting room. "I'll go change back."
"No, no—" Yi Yi grabbed his arm, "You said you'd wear matching outfits with me when we got our marriage certificate!"
Mu Nanxun: "..." Why did he bring up this ridiculous couple outfit thing out of the blue? He dug this hole for himself and deserves to be buried in it!
"Young lady, young man, these clothes suit you so well, they're practically tailor-made for you." The proprietress said, winking at Yi Yi and mouthing, "Rope, a marriage rope..."
Oh, right!
Yi Yi took Mu Nanxun's hand and tied a red string around his wrist.
"What the hell is this?" Mu Nanxun's thick eyebrows furrowed deeply. Why wear such a tattered red string? It looks stupid and tacky. Why does she have to wear this thing when she could have any jewelry?
"This is the matchmaking rope of the Old Man Under the Moon. The proprietress said that if couples tie this rope together, they can live a harmonious and loving life together forever."
It sounds like a scam...
In the past, Mu Nanxun, a seasoned businessman, would have dismissed such words with disdain, not believing a single word. But now, hearing Yi Yi say that wearing this thing would bring harmony and love, he didn't feel any resistance at all, obediently stretching out his hand and letting Yi Yi tie the rope for him.
"Alright, now everything's ready. Go get your marriage certificate, don't waste any time." The landlady seemed even more excited than the two of them.
Mu Nanxun and Yi Yi said goodbye to the shop and headed to the Civil Affairs Bureau.
The Civil Affairs Bureau was only two blocks away from the shop. Mu Nanxun, having finally found some free time, took Yi Yi and strolled over there at a leisurely pace.
At first, Mu Nanxun felt that everyone passing by was staring at him. He felt awkward in his clothes and didn't want to lift his head. As they got closer to the Civil Affairs Bureau, Mu Nanxun's discomfort was gradually replaced by nervousness.
Strangely enough, he usually handles multi-million dollar deals with ease and decisiveness. Even on the most important occasions, he remains calm and composed. Yet now, just coming to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a marriage certificate, he's become as nervous as any ordinary young couple. And the closer he gets to the Civil Affairs Bureau, the more nervous he becomes.
I wonder if Yi Yi is the same as him.
Mu Nanxun gripped Yi Yi's hand tightly, his heart pounding even harder.
Perhaps it was because of the nice weather, but there were quite a few people getting their marriage certificates. Mu Nanxun and Yi Yi took a number, and there were about ten other newlywed couples ahead of them.
Looking at the happy smiles on their faces, and then at the serious-looking man beside her, Yi Yi felt a mix of emotions churning inside her. This Mu Mu, he was making getting a marriage certificate sound like going to war, making Yi Yi nervous too.
After waiting for only a short while, there were still three newlywed couples ahead of them completing their paperwork. Mu Nanxun's temper flared up, and she frowned, saying, "Why is it so slow? What kind of work efficiency is this?"
As he spoke, he took out his phone to make a call.
It's obvious that this young master wants to use his status to get special treatment.
Yi Yi grabbed his phone and stopped him, saying, "Mu Mu, since you've decided to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau with me to get our marriage certificate like any other person, you have to follow the rules and queue up. If you're not willing to queue, then you don't need to get the certificate."
Mu Nanxun opened his mouth, staring at the noisy hall, his thick eyebrows furrowed deeply.
