Marriage (VII)
It took the two Civil Affairs Bureau staff members a while to calm down their excitement.
The young female employee handed two registration application statements to Ruan Qi and Xi Jiu in accordance with the marriage registration process.
"Please read it carefully. Once you're sure everything is correct, fill in the information and sign below."
Ruan Qi took the statement, thanked him, and lowered his head to read it carefully.
Xi Jiu didn't even look at it, but picked up the pen and started filling in the form.
Filling out the form didn't take long, and the two of them finished it quickly.
The female employee took back the two applications and took them next door to take pictures.
The staff member in charge of taking photos was also shocked when he saw Ruan Qi. He had only been working there for two years and had never received a celebrity. Who knew he would be receiving such a heavyweight?
The young photographer's hands were shaking with excitement. He pointed to the chair in front of the backdrop and stammered to Ruan Qi, "Teacher Ruan, please go sit over there."
Ruan Qi responded with a smile and pulled Xi Jiu to sit on the chair.
The photographer took a deep breath, tried to calm his excitement, and looked down at the camera in front of him.
The camera lens is small and the displayed image is only the size of a palm.
In the picture, Ruan Qi and Xi Jiu are sitting side by side.
Behind them is a festive red background, and the two people in front of the background are wearing a white dress and a shirt of the same color, clean and perfect.
Looking at these two people, the photographer couldn't help but sigh in his heart that they were so beautiful.
"You two are so good-looking." He couldn't help but praise her. "Teacher Ruan, please move closer to Mr. Xi. Yes, very good. Mr. Xi, don't be nervous. Relax your expression and don't tighten your lips."
Xi Jiu, who had been nervous since he sat down on the chair, immediately took a deep breath and tried to relax.
Photographer: "Very good. Smile a little more, okay, that's it. Three, two, one—"
Click!
The shutter clicks.
Ruan Qi with her curved eyebrows and Xi Jiu with a smile on her face were frozen in the photo.
…
A few minutes later, the registration photos taken by Ruan Qi and Xi Jiu appeared in the two red books.
The steel seal fell heavily.
From this moment on, the two names of Ruan Qi and Xi Jiu will be permanently bound together in China's marriage law.
"Congratulations on your marriage! Here is your marriage certificate, please keep it!"
The staff happily handed the marriage certificate to Ruan Qi.
Just as Ruan Qi was about to reach out her hand, Xi Jiu quickly snatched the marriage certificate away from her.
"Thank you." Xi Jiu held the two marriage certificates and thanked the staff very solemnly.
Ruan Qi also said thank you, then stood up from her chair with Xi Jiu.
Just then, there was a gentle knock on the door of the registration office.
Ruan Qi turned around and unexpectedly saw Gong Qi, who shouldn't be here.
She opened her eyes wide in surprise: "Housekeeper? Why are you here?"
Gong Qi was still wearing a white Tang suit today.
But what was different from usual was that his clothes today had festive red patterns, which complemented the pink in the registration room.
"Madam," Gong Qi bowed slightly in response to Ruan Qi's question, then replied appropriately, "The head of the family notified me to come here. I brought wedding candy and gifts for everyone. I was short on time, so I prepared them a little hastily. I hope you won't mind."
After saying that, he waved his hand gently.
Two bodyguards entered the registration room carrying a large red box.
Gong Qi said that he prepared it in a hurry, but in fact the gift he prepared was quite expensive.
Wedding candies are the best and most high-end ones available on the market. If time wasn’t tight, Gong Qi would even want to have some customized.
The souvenirs were also quite expensive. Considering the Civil Affairs Bureau was a state-run administrative department, Gong Qi put aside his thoughts on preparing gold bars and bricks for the staff and instead offered low-key yet practical hot compress eye masks.
The eye mask is made of silk, has ten hot and cold compress functions, and is equipped with a wireless Bluetooth remote control. Furthermore, the gift box also includes eight small bottles of the same brand's aromatherapy essential oils, which smell delicious and luxurious.
These two gifts looked very expensive, and the two employees in the registration office repeatedly refused them.
"This is too valuable. We can't accept it."
The female employee pushed the gift box away like it was a hot potato.
Ruan Qi smiled and pushed the gift box over again: "Please accept it. This is my wedding gift. It's unlucky to be rejected. Miss, you don't want my marriage to be unhappy, right?"
Faced with such a huge offer, the two employees immediately did not dare to refuse.
Xi Jiu, who was standing nearby, also spoke up at this point: "Everyone at the Civil Affairs Bureau has received gifts, including the couples waiting in the registration hall. These are just ordinary wedding gifts. I hope you can share this joy with me."
Having said that, and considering that this gift was a gift for everyone, it didn't count as private bribery, so the two staff members in the registration office no longer refused.
"Thank you both for your gifts."
The employee took the wedding box.
"I wish you two a happy marriage, a long life together, and a life of love."
…
A few minutes later, outside the Civil Affairs Bureau, Ruan Qi and Xi Jiu stood side by side, each holding a red book.
Bai Yuchen and Qin Qingdi walked around in front of the two of them, laughing.
"My dear sister-in-law, congratulations! From now on, you two are protected by our country's marriage law. My brother has endured for so many years, and finally has a legitimate marriage!"
After Bai Yuchen finished speaking, Qin Qingdi nodded in agreement: "Although I really don't want my Soft Baby to be snatched away, I will be relieved if that person is Brother Nine. Soft Baby and Brother Nine, you two must be happy. And Brother Nine, happy birthday, you have double happiness today."
Xi Jiu had been looking down at the marriage certificate. After hearing what Bai Yuchen and Qin Qingdi said, he finally looked up, his eyes and eyebrows filled with an irrepressible smile.
"Thank you, Xiao Qi and I will definitely be happy."
Bai Yuchen and Qin Qingdi immediately seemed to be unable to bear it and started to make a fuss.
"I've lived for over twenty years, and this is the first time I've seen Brother Nine smile like this. His mouth is almost stretched to his ears!"
"Ninth Brother, your character has collapsed. Where's your aloofness? Where's your abstinence? Where's your iceberg boss?"
Faced with the two people's jokes, Xi Jiu did not feel angry at all, and the arc of his mouth became even bigger.
He held the red book and turned to look at Ruan Qi who was also holding a red book.
"Baby," he looked at Ruan Qi, his usually cold black eyes now like a spring breeze, melting everything away, "We are husband and wife, real husband and wife."
Ruan Qi raised her head and smiled along with him: "Yes. Jiujiu, from now on, you are my real husband."
Ruan Qi's Mr.... This title was so tempting that Xi Jiu's heart skipped a beat.
He held Ruan Qi's hand tightly, trying hard to control the upward curve of his mouth. He leaned over to Ruan Qi's ear and whispered to her, "Then Mrs. Xi, my dear wife, can your husband post a circle of friends and Weibo now to show off?"
The expectation in the man's eyes was too strong.
Ruan Qi couldn't help but laugh out loud, and nodded sweetly with her eyes curved: "Of course, my Mr. Xi."
…
That morning, half past ten.
Xi Jiu updated his Moments and Weibo at the same time.
Thank you for giving me this opportunity. I will always be loyal to you. @软软王国柒
The marriage certificate is complete! Flowers are scattered! Candy is distributed! Cheers! Applause!
