They handed their documents to the staff member, who asked very responsibly, "Are you marrying voluntarily?"
"Has anyone threatened or pressured you?"
Gu Anran shook her head and said, "No, we are doing this willingly, thank you."
After completing the formalities, the staff member smiled and said, "Congratulations! We wish you a healthy baby soon."
Ye Lichuan had his assistant give him a red envelope as a thank you to the staff, and then he took Gu Anran to the car to wait.
With the matter settled, he could finally relax. The thought of Fu Mingchen, who was relentlessly pursuing Gu Anran, still bothered him.
Now that he has the marriage certificate, she belongs to him. A happy smile appeared on Ye Lichuan's face. Is this still the same icy face that Gu Anran usually scolds him for?
Ye Lichuan took Gu Anran's hand, pulled her into his arms, and said gently, "Everything's taken care of. Let's go to Mom and Dad's to pick up the child and take him home. We can also have someone move the things over there."
He took out his phone, made a call, and then reverted to his icy demeanor, coldly ordering, "Go and move these things to the villa later, and arrange them neatly before five o'clock."
Gu Anran was about to say what the rush was, but before she could even speak, Ye Lichuan had already hung up the phone.
The assistant arrived, and Ye Lichuan ordered, "Go back to the old house."
They drove slowly into the upscale villa area. As soon as Gu Anran got out of the car, she was stunned by the sight before her: a beautiful sea of flowers, breathtakingly beautiful.
The butler stood outside the gate waiting for them. He whispered, "Young Master, the Master doesn't quite approve of the Young Madam. Please be careful."
Gu Anran was nervous and held onto Ye Lichuan's hand tightly.
Ye Lichuan comforted him, saying, "It's alright, don't be afraid, they're all very easy to get along with."
With a mix of trepidation and excitement, Gu Anran and Ye Lichuan entered the villa together. The villa was spacious and beautifully situated.
Ye Lichuan took her hand, kissed it, and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, I'm here for you."
Since meeting Ye Lichuan, Gu Anran has changed a lot and has gradually begun to feel safe.
She smiled and nodded, saying firmly, "Okay, I believe you, and I will work hard to gain Mom and Dad's approval."
They walked in hand in hand, and the maid poured them water. Old Mrs. Ye, wearing glasses, smiled and said, "You've come. Please sit down and make yourselves at home."
Ye Lichuan turned on the door and looked at his mother with displeasure, saying, "Mom, Aran has always been a member of our family. We just got our marriage certificate."
A single sentence stirred up a storm. Old Mrs. Ye, after all, was a woman who had weathered many storms. She gracefully put down her water glass and said with a smile, "Li Chuan, this joke is not funny."
"We don't really get involved in your marriage, but you should at least let us know, right? Are you informing us now?"
Ye Lichuan knew he had acted a bit hastily, but looking at the little woman beside him, he felt it was all worth it.
He looked calmly at Old Madam Ye, frowned, and said sincerely, "I know we did wrong, but she is just as important to me as you are. I have already made her and her child suffer for five years, and I don't want them to suffer anymore. I hope you can forgive us."
Grandma Ye looked at her son. He had changed. He had become more talkative and less ruthless. He was now a good man with a sense of responsibility and duty.
Suddenly, she relaxed her brow, smiled at them, and said, "Alright, I hope you remember what you said to me today and treat them well. Don't let them suffer because of you anymore. As for your father, you'll have to talk to him yourself. He's waiting for you in his study."
Ye Lichuan squeezed Gu Anran's hand and looked at her with deep affection, saying, "I'll be right back. You sit with Mom and the others for a while."
Grandma Ye chuckled helplessly, "Alright, go on, it's not like it's a matter of life and death, is it? Do you think I'm going to eat your wife?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Anran blushed shyly and urged, "Go quickly, don't keep Dad waiting too long, I'm fine."
Grandma Ye was very satisfied with the gentle, kind, and sensible Gu Anran. It was her appearance that changed her son's mechanical life and made him understand how to care for and cherish others.
She nodded in satisfaction and warmly greeted, "Xiao Ran, you're one of us, don't be shy, have some fruit."
Gu Anran smiled slightly and looked at Old Madam Ye with curiosity, asking, "Where is Xiaotian? I haven't seen him since I arrived."
"He and his aunt went to the orchard to pick fruit, they'll be back soon. Don't worry."
Gu Anran smiled and nodded. She sat on the sofa a little nervously, unsure of what to do with her hands.
Grandma Ye smiled and said, "Child, don't be nervous. You have to trust Li Chuan. He will definitely find a way to persuade his father for your and the child's sake."
Feeling embarrassed that her thoughts had been read, Gu Anran adjusted her bangs and said with a firm look in her eyes, "I believe him."
Ye Lichuan knocked on the study door, and a strong, aged voice came from inside: "Come in."
Ye Lichuan opened the door and went in, respectfully greeting, "Father."
Grandpa Ye adjusted his glasses, raised his eyes, and said coldly, "What's going on between you and Xiaotian's mommy?"
Ye Lichuan calmly pulled out a chair and sat down. He looked at Old Master Ye and said coldly, "We registered our marriage today."
Grandpa Ye looked at him calmly, suppressing his rising anger, and asked, "Did you notify us? Have you grown too big for your britches and are making decisions unilaterally without consulting me?"
Ye Lichuan pursed his thin lips, sitting there without saying a word as he listened to Old Master Ye scold him.
After a long while, Old Master Ye looked at him without saying a word. After a few minutes of silence, Old Master Ye stated, "Xiao Tian must return to the Ye family. As for his mother, she can be someone else."
Veins bulged on Ye Lichuan's hands. He forced himself to calm down and said coldly, "I've never asked you for anything all these years. This time, I'm begging you. In my eyes, she's just as important as you all."
“If you don’t agree to her coming into the family, then I will accompany her and Xiaotian to live an ordinary life.”
Grandpa Ye angrily threw down the book and slammed his hand on the table. He shouted angrily, "Do you want to be an unfilial son and have others humiliate you?"
With an icy expression, Ye Lichuan said, "I can't even fulfill my responsibilities as a husband and father, so how can I be a good son or daughter?"
The old man was speechless after hearing this. Finally, he said weakly, "Fine, I agree to let her in, but we must have a prenuptial agreement. If we divorce, she will not have a penny and will leave with nothing."
