Chapter 999: Legal Age of Marriage (Part 1)
Ruan Qi felt the brutal aura of her master and couldn't help but light a candle for Xi Jiu silently in her heart.
After lighting the candle, she thought of another question.
"Master, why did you suddenly think of letting the two families meet?"
You know, her beautiful master has been coming and going without a trace recently. She is busy hanging out with Uncle Chu every day and is rarely seen until it is time to go to bed at night.
Why are you suddenly worried about meeting the parents?
The little girl was full of questions. Nie Beilou glanced at her calmly and asked, "Do you think I want to worry about you?"
Ruan Qi: "Then you..."
"Your birthday is next month." Nie Beilou said inexplicably.
“???” Ruan Qi looked confused.
Is there any necessary connection between her birthday and meeting her parents?
Seeing that she still didn't understand, Nie Beilou snorted with a cold face.
"The legal marriage age for women in China is 20."
Ruan Qi: “!!!!”
The little girl's eyes suddenly widened.
Oh my god!
How could she have forgotten this?
After her birthday next month, she will be an adult woman recognized by the state and able to obtain a marriage certificate!
Thinking that she and Xi Jiu would be able to get their marriage certificate in less than a month, the little girl straightened her back with pride.
Nie Beilou looked at her smug expression and couldn't help but snort again.
The arrogant little girl immediately turned into an honest little quail again.
Nie Beilou looked at her and said with a stern face, "Although you will soon reach the legal age, you are not allowed to get married so early. A journey of a thousand miles tests a horse's strength, and time reveals a person's true character. You two have only been together for a year, and that Xi family kid still needs further testing."
Ruan Qi nodded obediently.
Of course she couldn't wait to get the marriage certificate with Xi Jiu.
But when she thought of her uncertain lifespan, she suppressed this desire in her heart.
Before they got married, she and Xi Jiu were just boyfriend and girlfriend. If she died one day, Xi Jiu would not suffer any loss.
But if they were married, she and Xi Jiu would be husband and wife. If she died, Xi Jiu would become a widower.
Although modern society does not care about widows and widowers, Ruan Qi was reluctant to let Xi Jiu bear any bad talk for her.
So, even if you desire it, you must restrain yourself.
In the soft little girl's heart, Jiujiu is more important than her own joys and sorrows.
"Master, don't worry. Jiujiu and I won't be getting married anytime soon." She raised her hand and promised, "I want to focus on my career!"
Nie Beilou frowned.
He knew exactly what kind of person his beloved disciple was. Given Ruan Qi's personality, she'd be grateful if she didn't drag Xi Jiu to the Civil Affairs Bureau on her twentieth birthday. How could she possibly say something like, "My career is the most important thing, so I won't be getting married anytime soon"?
Nie Beilou felt like something was amiss, but after thinking about it, he couldn't figure it out.
He could only blame it all on the little girl being too young and playful.
Thinking of this, Nie Beilou suddenly felt sympathy for Xi Jiu again.
He hesitated for two seconds, but couldn't help but warn his apprentice: "Although you won't be getting married in the short term, you can't just focus on your career. Lovers need to give to each other for a long-lasting relationship. You can't do anything wrong just because the Xi family boy is nice to you!"
Ruan Qi nodded quickly, almost banging his head on the ground to assure himself that he was not an unfaithful man.
After scolding his apprentice, Nie Beilou brought the topic back to the meeting between the parents of both parties.
