Chapter 217 Promise You a Happy Future
Jiang Xu was a little dazed when he stood at the door of the Civil Affairs Bureau with his ID card.
An hour ago, she mentioned getting a marriage certificate, and He Yanting's car turned into a rocket and quickly went to get his ID.
"Today is too rushed, how about tomorrow?"
She was inexplicably nervous.
He Yanting objected: "What if you regret it tomorrow? Today."
Jiang Xu was helpless and was about to go in when he was suddenly stopped.
"Wait a moment."
She turned around and saw the tall man kneeling on one knee in front of her and taking out a ring box.
When you open it, you'll see a simple-shaped, high-quality diamond ring inside.
Jiang Xu opened her eyes wide in surprise: "When did you prepare the ring?"
He Yanting curled his lips and said, "I've prepared it a long time ago. I carry it with me every day. This is called preparing for a rainy day."
After saying that, he cleared his throat.
"Miss Jiang Xu, will you marry me?"
At this time, people were coming and going at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau, and many people stopped and looked over curiously.
Jiang Xu was extremely embarrassed: "Get up quickly."
He Yanting smiled: "You agree first."
Jiang Xu said, "I've come here to get the marriage certificate with you, and you're still asking me if I agree or not. Hurry up and get up."
"Give me your hand."
He Yanting stubbornly refused to get up.
Jiang Xu had no choice but to obediently hand her hand to him and let him carefully put the ring on his ring finger.
I have to say, this ring is exactly her favorite style, and it looks very beautiful on her slender white fingers.
After He Yanting stood up, sporadic applause came from the side, "Congratulations!"
"Thanks!"
He changed his usual aloof and reserved demeanor and bowed happily to thank the passers-by.
Jiang Xu covered her face and dragged him into the Civil Affairs Bureau.
The certification process went smoothly.
When signing for the last time, Jiang Xu looked at the document and the hand holding the pen couldn't help but pause.
"We've come this far, no regrets."
He Yanting looked at her nervously.
Jiang Xu laughed: "No, it's just a feeling... I can't put it into words."
After signing, when the marriage certificate was placed in the hands of both of them, He Yanting finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"I finally have a place."
He couldn't help but sigh.
Jiang Xu looked at the marriage certificate repeatedly with curiosity, and the next second, He Yanting snatched it away.
"what?"
"I'll save it for later."
"Why? I have a share too."
"If you want to see it, tell me the report and I'll show it to you."
Jiang Xu was really speechless by this guy. It's just an ID, isn't he being too cautious?
On the way home, Jiang Xu suddenly remembered something, "Let's go to Baiyu Lake."
He Yanting didn't know what she wanted to do, but he still told the driver to do as she said.
When we arrived at Baiyu Lake, the sky gradually darkened.
Jiang Xu asked, "Do you have a shovel?"
Gao Cheng rummaged through the trunk for a long time and found a small shovel from the toolbox.
Jiang Xu took a shovel and walked under a tree.
He Yanting followed and asked curiously, "What are you going to do?"
Jiang Xu ignored him and said to herself, "I don't know if he's still there."
After saying that, he squatted down and started digging.
He Yanting stood by and watched her busying around with a puzzled look on his face.
Suddenly, Jiang Xu dug up something and exclaimed, "Found it!"
It was a sealed bag that had long been oxidized to the point of being thin and brittle. With a slight touch, the bag broke and the ring inside fell to the ground.
He Yanting looked at the ring, his pupils shrank: "This is..."
Jiang Xu picked up the ring and looked at him: "You bought this when we were in college and said you wanted to trap me. Five years ago, I buried it here."
These words made He Yanting's Adam's apple roll, and a feeling of guilt surged like a tide.
No matter how much he did, the harm he caused to Jiang Xu during those years was real.
He didn't dare to imagine what she felt when she buried the ring.
“Soft…”
He looked at her, his dark eyes flickering with worry and uneasiness.
No matter how many times I apologize, it seems to be meaningless.
"At that time, I really wanted to say goodbye to you."
Jiang Xu said with a smile.
The cold wind blew, and her hair brushed against her cheeks like willow branches. Under the golden sunset, her smile was both gentle and broken.
He Yanting felt a pain in his heart and hugged her in panic.
"I'm sorry, I treated you badly."
His voice was trembling noticeably. "Let me spend my whole life making up for it, okay?"
Jiang Xu reached out to touch his face, but suddenly remembered that her hands were covered in dirt. She subconsciously tried to withdraw her hand, but He Yanting grabbed it and pressed it against her face.
Then, he kissed her muddy palms again and again.
"Okay? Promise me."
The hot breath fell on his palm and he begged again and again.
Jiang Xu looked at him and said calmly, "I dug it out today because I wanted to say goodbye to the past. But this ring was given to me by you in the past, after all. It's better to tell me before throwing it away, so you won't have to ask me about it in the future."
"Okay, throw it away, I'll throw it with you."
He Yanting turned around, hugged her from behind, and held her hand.
Jiang Xu's fingertips held the ring that looked dull because of the dirt, making the diamond ring on her ring finger sparkle particularly brightly.
She raised her hand and threw the ring out with He Yanting.
The ring was thrown in an arc in the air and sank silently into the lake.
He Yanting stroked the diamond ring on her ring finger and whispered, "Ruanruan, forget the past. I, He Yanting, swear on my life that I will do my best to give you a happy future."
Jiang Xu didn't say anything.
They hugged each other for a long time by the lake until the sun completely set into the horizon.
When he returned to Dihua Mansion in the evening, He Yanting insisted on cooking himself.
Because they were in a hurry to get their marriage certificate, they didn't go to pick up Tuanbao, so Aunt Lin went to pick him up.
Tuanbao came home with his little schoolbag on his back and sniffed the air with his little nose.
"Wow, Dad is cooking today."
His eyes lit up and he ran towards the kitchen. When he saw Jiang Xu helping in the kitchen, his face was filled with excitement.
"Mom, why are you here today?"
He ran over happily and hugged Jiang Xu, unwilling to let go.
Jiang Xu glanced at He Yanting, then pulled Tuanbao to the dining room and said, "Mom will live here from now on."
Tuanbao was stunned for a moment.
He blinked his eyes and stared at Jiang Xu blankly, not saying a word for a long time.
Jiang Xu touched his face: "Baoer, what's wrong with you?"
Tuanbao wrinkled his nose: "What did you just say? Can you say it again?"
Jiang Xu couldn't help laughing: "From today on, Mommy will live here and stay with Tuanbao, okay?"
Tuanbao's eyes suddenly turned red and tears fell down.
Jiang Xu was heartbroken and hugged him in her arms: "Why are you crying?"
Tuanbao grabbed her clothes, buried his face in her arms, and cried, "I'm so happy, Mom, you can't lie to me."
"I'm not lying to you. Mommy makes a pinky promise with you."
Jiang Xu said with a smile.
After pulling the hook, Tuanbao finally felt relieved, and a cheerful smile blossomed on his little face.
At this time, He Yanting came out with dishes: "Get ready to eat."
As he spoke, he walked to the side and took out the marriage certificate from the inside pocket of his suit.
"Congratulations, son. You finally have a child born out of legal marriage."
Jiang Xu glared at him speechlessly.
Tuanbao was very excited and ran over to grab it, but He Yanting dodged him and said, "You can only look, not touch."
Tuanbao snorted, "How stingy."
Jiang Xu snatched a copy from He Yanting and handed it to Tuanbao: "Take a look."
Tuanbao opened it with a grin and read aloud the words on it: "Marriage certificate! He Yanting! Jiang Xu!"
He Yanting listened to him reading, looked at Jiang Xu, and grinned widely.
