Chapter 97: What I Wanted - Marriage Certificate
There were no signs, no foreshadowing, not even a hint of excitement. It was as natural as asking, "What are we going to eat tomorrow?" Yet, it felt incredibly weighty.
Gu Chuyue's body suddenly stiffened.
His eyes were wide open, and his pupils contracted sharply in the moonlight.
The snowflakes on his long eyelashes fell as he turned his head.
He opened his mouth, but his throat seemed to be blocked by something and no sound came out.
Only his chest began to rise and fall violently, his breathing became rapid and hot, turning into white mist in the cold air.
After a few seconds of dead silence.
An extremely complicated, distorted, almost hideous expression quickly crept onto his handsome face.
Gu Chuyue's eyes quickly turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye, "Really? Wife."
Qin Mu was hugged so tightly that it hurt, but he did not struggle. He just looked back at his tearful eyes gently, his voice trembling slightly:
"Well, get married. Let's go to the Civil Affairs Bureau tomorrow. Are you willing?"
"Yes! I do! Gu Chuyue and Qin Mu will get their marriage certificate tomorrow!" Gu Chuyue almost roared.
He wanted to strangle the other person to the bone. Gu Chuyue buried his face deeply in Qin Mu's neck, his body trembling violently due to excessive excitement.
He suddenly leaned forward and kissed Qin Mu's lips fiercely with absolute passion and the devotion of a believer.
Qin Mu stuck out his tongue and let Gu Chuyue do what he wanted.
On the snow, two figures hugging each other tightly, one crazy and out of control, the other calm and tolerant, together constitute the hottest and most thrilling picture in this world of ice and snow.
That night, the atmosphere in Xiyuan's master bedroom was unusual.
If it were a normal night, Gu Chuyue would be very excited and would not stop until he pestered Qin Mu until dawn.
But tonight, he was unusually well-behaved.
After taking a shower, he even took out some moisturizing skin care products and carefully applied them to both himself and Qin Mu, under the pretext of "being in good shape tomorrow."
Qin Mu raised his eyebrows in surprise, and deliberately hooked his chin with his fingertips, saying in an ambiguous tone: "Are you going to bed already? Don't you want to do something else... to celebrate?"
Normally, such a hint would be enough to turn Gu Chuyue into a hungry wolf.
But at this moment, he suddenly shrank back, as if he had encountered some kind of monster, and shook his head like a rattle: "No, I have to go to bed early tonight and be the first to arrive tomorrow!"
Gu Chuyue even took the initiative to turn off the bedside lamp on his side, wrapped himself tightly in the quilt, and looked at Qin Mu with only a pair of sparkling puppy eyes. "Wife, go to sleep!"
Qin Mu looked at his expression of being ready for a great enemy yet full of anticipation, and his heart softened. He stopped teasing him and obediently turned off the lights and lay down.
In the darkness, Gu Chuyue approached cautiously, hugged his waist tightly, and put his face against his back. His breathing gradually became steady and long, and he actually forced himself to fall asleep quickly.
On the morning of the fourth day of the New Year, Gu Chuyue woke up even earlier than Qin Mu.
He got out of bed quietly and took out two carefully prepared suits from the cloakroom.
Qin Mu's suit was a calm dark navy blue plaid custom-made suit, with an extremely elegant cut and crisp fabric. It was paired with a pure white shirt and a dark burgundy silk tie of the same color as Gu Chuyue's tie, looking low-key and noble.
Gu Chuyue himself wore a black velvet suit, which was more youthful and fashionable in style. The collar design had a slightly unruly touch. The collar of his white shirt was embroidered with delicate dark patterns, and his tie was a deep burgundy color that matched Qin Mu's, adding a touch of formality and magnificence to him.
When Qin Mu woke up, he carried him to wash up.
Then he helped Qin Mu put on every piece of clothing, even the cufflinks and tie clips, and said, "Wife, raise your hand."
Qin Mu only needed to listen to the instructions and turn around.
"Okay." Finally, he took a step back and looked Qin Mu up and down, his eyes full of amazement and pride. "My wife is the most beautiful woman in the world."
Qin Mu looked at him, smiled, and reached out to straighten his already meticulously finished tie: "Mr. Gu, you look very handsome today too."
The three words "Mr. Gu" made Gu Chuyue's ears warm and his heart swell with sweetness.
The two had greeted each other in advance and took a special channel when they arrived at the Civil Affairs Bureau. The process was quick and efficient.
Taking photos, filling out forms, taking oaths... Gu Chuyue kept his body tense throughout the whole process, his expression as serious as if he was participating in the highest-level business negotiations.
Only when signing did his hand tremble slightly, and it was only when Qin Mu's warm palm gently covered it that it stabilized.
When the staff handed the two bright red marriage certificates to them with a smile, Gu Chuyue took them almost holding his breath.
Walking out of the Civil Affairs Bureau and standing in the cool sunlight of a winter morning, Gu Chuyue lowered his head and stared at the small red booklet in his hand.
His fingertips repeatedly stroked the three gold-embossed words "Marriage Certificate" on it, then he opened it again, looking at the photo of the two of them pasted side by side, and looking at the familiar name and date.
The sunlight was a bit dazzling, falling on the certificate with red background and gold letters, reflecting a dazzling halo.
He blinked again and again, and suddenly felt that everything in front of him seemed unreal.
He had worked so hard for so long, longed for so long, even resorting to all sorts of methods to tie someone down, and just like that...
Legally, does it belong to him completely?
A great, almost panic-inducing happiness seized him, making his throat tighten and his eyes burn.
Qin Mu stood beside him, looking at him quietly, watching the complex expression on his face that was a mixture of ecstasy, confusion, and disbelief, without urging him or speaking.
After a long while, Gu Chuyue slowly raised his head and looked at Qin Mu. His voice was trembling and choked with a barely perceptible sob: "Wife...is this true?"
Qin Mu stretched out his hand, not to take the marriage certificate, but to gently hold his slightly cold fingers, interlocking theirs.
The other hand turned the ring on Gu Chuyue's ring finger.
He looked at Gu Chuyue gently and firmly, and spoke clearly and solemnly:
"It's true. Mr. Gu, happy wedding."
At this moment, Gu Chuyue couldn't help but shed tears.
Just like back then, the crystal clear tears were as distinct as pearls, and all fell on Qin Mu's heart.
Gu Chuyue shook Qin Mu's hand firmly and responded in a loud and trembling voice:
"Wife, happy wedding~"
While Gu Chuyue was crying with joy, he also felt a sense of pride.
From now on, Gu Chuyue is Qin Mu's legal husband.
In the future, he will definitely protect his wife carefully and not let anyone with bad intentions take advantage of her.
His wife has always been kind, so she picked him up and raised him.
Who knows if my wife will pick up some kittens and puppies to bring home in the future.
He wanted to nip any possible threat in the bud.
If Qin Mu knew that Gu Chuyue, who was smiling sweetly in front of him, was thinking these things in his heart.
He will be speechless. He has only picked up this one wolf cub in his life and got himself involved.
