Li Muge never imagined that getting married would be so simple. She and Yun Qi took their respective household registration books to the Civil Affairs Bureau.
Amidst the astonished gazes of the staff, they took their wedding photos. Even after receiving the marriage certificate, Li Muge still felt it was somewhat unreal.
Yun Qi slowly smiled and asked, "Mu Ge, where do you plan to hold the wedding?"
"Do you have any opinions on Chinese or Western styles?"
Li Muge pondered for a moment: "Are you alright? Actually, it doesn't need to be so complicated. I really like simplicity, and besides, you're a public figure, so our wedding should be kept simple."
Yun Qi shook his head, picked up the marriage certificate and patted her head: "That won't do. Since it's an act, we have to go all the way. There's no wedding. That's obviously a problem."
"Besides, Li Muge, you know I'm in the entertainment industry. If those gossip media find out that I can't even afford a wedding for my bride, who knows what they'll say about me."
After Yun Qi finished speaking, she snapped her fingers: "Li Muge, after we've met my mom, we'll take wedding photos, right?"
Li Muge nodded. Since the wedding was already going to happen, there was no harm in taking wedding photos.
Hospital.
The ward was filled with the smell of disinfectant.
Aunt Tang lay on the hospital bed, tears streaming down her face as she looked at the marriage certificate that Li Muge and Yun Qi had given her: "Tell me about you two, how did you manage to hide your secret relationship so well? Muge, you did an excellent job keeping it a secret. Last time on your birthday, I was so scared. I thought you were still the same as before, always fighting with Yun Qi."
When the topic of my last birthday came up...
Li Muge's momentum instantly faltered; her eyes darted around, and her legs trembled slightly. It's all over.
She screamed inwardly, "Li Muge, show some backbone! Don't let your guard down in front of Aunt Tang. Aunt Tang's health can't take any more damage right now!"
Yun Qi hugged her tightly and kissed her on the cheek: "Mom, that's all you have to say. You can't be shy about not knowing Mu Ge."
Li Muge's face immediately turned red and hot. What was going on? Yun Qi actually kissed her. She was caught off guard and had no defense at all!
Aunt Tang laughed heartily: "Sure, then I won't say anything more. But you two, you got your marriage certificate in such a hurry, when are you planning to have the wedding?"
Yun Qi's eyes were filled with tenderness: "Mom, we plan to take wedding photos first, and we'll hold the wedding when you're feeling better."
“Yes, yes…” Li Muge quickly echoed, but before she could finish speaking, Yun Qi pinched her back. She immediately changed her words, lowered her head, and said rather embarrassedly, “Mom.”
"Oh." Aunt Tang smiled even more happily: "Mu Ge, come here, Mom has something for you."
Li Muge glanced at the jade bracelet on Yun Qi's mother's wrist and thought to herself that Yun Qi's mother would definitely give this jade bracelet to her. That's the usual procedure in TV dramas. Then she would take it as a family heirloom and pass it on to her daughter-in-law.
Wait, aren't she and Yun Qi a fake couple? Why would she suddenly want to have a son for Yun Qi? It's a sin.
“Okay, Mom.” Li Muge walked to Yun Qi’s mother’s side, found a stool and sat down. Then Aunt Tang glanced at her sideways and frowned with disdain: “Yun Qi, how can you be so tactless? Your mother wants to talk to your wife, so get out of here.”
Yun Qi awkwardly touched his nose and sighed. So now that he had found a daughter-in-law, his son was worthless.
---
In the hospital ward.
Li Muge was wondering how she should refuse if Yun Qi's mother wanted to give her the jade bracelet, but she didn't expect that Yun Qi's mother had no intention of giving her the jade bracelet at all.
This relieved her; otherwise, her conscience would have been bothering her.
"Mu Ge, after a man and woman get married, especially at the beginning of the marriage, the first thing they must do is firmly control their husbands, understand?"
"Understood." In fact, Li Muge's mother had already told her all of this. Her mother told her that although Yun Qi was someone she had watched grow up and whose character was unlikely to be flawed, it was very possible for men and women in the entertainment industry to develop feelings for each other while playing romantic roles. If a man was really taken away, then he was nothing but trash.
The most important thing is money, which is something a woman must hold onto firmly in marriage.
Li Muge agreed with this.
Building a career is so rewarding.
Men would only slow down her speed in drawing her sword.
Yunqi's mother mysteriously took out an iron box containing a photo. Li Muge looked down and froze.
In the photo.
In the candlelight, a chubby girl wearing a birthday crown was asleep, leaning against the table. The boy's handsome face held a slightly aloof expression. Just then, in the flickering candlelight, he leaned down and kissed the girl's cheek.
His eyes were gentle.
"Isn't that me?" Li Muge remembered that the girl in the photo was her, and the boy was Yun Qi.
Although they were still young at that time.
But that's really not right.
That period coincided with the time when her relationship with Yun Qi was at its most strained, and Yun Qi even stole a kiss from her.
Aunt Tang smiled mischievously: "This photo was taken when I wanted to take a picture, but I accidentally pressed the timer when I put it down. Otherwise, I wouldn't have known that this kid had such feelings for me at such a young age."
Li Muge's mind was in a mess, and she obviously couldn't believe it: "Ah, no, Mom, this can't be right. You don't know how badly I beat Yun Qi back then. Yun Qi likes me. He doesn't have masochistic tendencies, does he?" Li Muge clearly didn't think before she spoke, saying this in front of someone's mother and beating her son in front of her.
Oh no! Li Muge appeared calm on the surface, but inside she was panicking. What a mess! Could her words have caused a conflict between her and her mother-in-law?
Yunqi's mother thought about it seriously: "Muge, you know the environment in which the child grew up. He was stuck with such a reckless father, so this kid has always been more secretive than anyone else. I guess he used to always go against her because she wanted to keep an eye on him."
After hearing what Yun Qi's mother said, Li Muge was completely stunned. Yun Qi liked her, and Yun Qi had been plotting against her since childhood.
She left the ward.
I just can't stand Yun Qi.
"What's wrong?" Yun Qi wanted to eavesdrop on what her mother and Li Muge were saying, but unfortunately she couldn't hear anything.
"Li Muge, what's wrong with you? Why are you looking at me like that?" Yun Qi suddenly had a bad feeling. He was already feeling uneasy under Li Muge's scrutinizing gaze.
"It's alright, Yun Qi." Li Muge smiled, then suddenly grabbed Yun Qi's ear and pushed him out of the hospital.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch!" Yun Qi bent over, wincing in pain. "Li Muge, do you remember our contract? You can't use violence."
Upon hearing this, Li Muge became even uglier, and she tightened her grip: "Hey, Yun, don't give me that crap. Come with me to the hospital for a checkup right now."
