Chapter 192 Once you've got the marriage certificate, you can't go back on your word.
Li Mai was won over by Zhou Songyan's words.
She looked in the mirror, tidied her hair, and applied light makeup using her makeup bag.
Zhou Songyan couldn't wait to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau.
We arrived at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau.
Li Mai suddenly remembered something.
"Zhou Songyan, I didn't bring my ID card."
Zhou Songyan parked the car and took out two ID cards from his pocket.
"I brought it."
He found it last night, afraid he'd forget it this morning.
Li Mai smiled and raised her eyebrows: "Then let's go."
"etc."
Zhou Songyan called out to her.
Li Mai turned her head in confusion: "What's wrong?"
Zhou Songyan gripped the two ID cards tightly, his eyes fixed on Li Mai, his voice trembling slightly.
"Are you really sure? Once you've got the marriage certificate, you can't go back on your word. I will absolutely not agree to a divorce."
Li Mai's round almond-shaped eyes were brighter than the stars at that moment.
"I wonder who was making calls and pulling strings to get a marriage certificate during the Chinese New Year, and now they're hesitating at the Civil Affairs Bureau?"
In Li Mai's opinion, Zhou Songyan should immediately take her to the Civil Affairs Bureau.
"If you don't take it, I'm going home."
"collar!"
Zhou Songyan immediately got out of the car and went around to the passenger side to open the door for her.
After Li Mai got out of the car, he grabbed her hand and strode towards the Civil Affairs Bureau.
Li Mai stopped him: "Wait."
Zhou Songyan's heart clenched, and he turned his head with a sullen face.
Li Mai reluctantly draped the coat over his shoulders, saying, "I don't want to get a sickly husband right after we get married."
Zhou Songyan smiled.
So that's what it is.
He thought Li Mai was going to back out.
...
I didn't expect so many people to get married today, and everyone arrived quite early, forming long queues.
Li Mai was about to join the back of the line.
A uniformed staff member approached and said respectfully, "Mr. Zhou, please come with me."
...
Li Mai experienced special treatment.
Having connections is great; you get special service when you get your marriage certificate and don't have to wait in line.
Li Mai and Zhou Songyan quickly received their marriage certificates.
Li Mai looked at the ID photos; they were alright, the man was handsome and the woman was beautiful.
She took a couple of steps and realized that Zhou Songyan hadn't followed.
Turning my head, I saw Zhou Songyan staring at the red marriage certificate with a silly grin.
She walked over and took his arm: "Are you that happy?"
Zhou Songyan: "I'm very happy!"
"Give me your marriage certificate."
Without thinking much, Li Mai handed it to him.
Zhou Songyan took a photo and posted it in the family group chat.
Li Mai's phone vibrated.
She took it out and saw that she had been added to a group chat without realizing it.
She clicked on it and saw the photos posted by Zhou Songyan.
Soon, the group chat became lively.
Zhang Jingran: [Cousin and Cousin-in-law, congratulations!!!]
Zhang Junzheng: [Happy wedding, cousin and sister-in-law! May you have a lovely daughter soon!]
Zhou Qianlian: [Oh my, finally married! We need to get the wedding arrangements sorted out quickly.]
After that, members of the Zhou family began to speak one after another, and everyone started discussing the matter.
Li Mai looked up at Zhou Songyan: "When did you add me to the Zhou family group chat?"
Zhou Songyan: "During the Chinese New Year."
No one spoke in the family group chat for a while, and Li Mai didn't realize she was in the group.
Li Mai glanced at the group again.
The little old lady who loves mung bean cakes: [Songyan, bring my granddaughter-in-law back. I'll have the kitchen prepare a meal; our Zhou family will have a proper celebration today, and everyone should come on time.]
Li Mai smiled and said, "Grandma is calling us back to the old house for dinner."
Zhou Songyan originally wanted to go out to eat with Li Mai and enjoy some alone time together.
But if Grandma wants to celebrate, that's fine too.
He hopes to receive everyone's blessings.
He put both marriage certificates into his coat pocket and took Li Mai's hand.
"Wife, let's go home."
Li Mai raised an eyebrow: "Those two words sound good."
Husband and wife, they sound like a family.
Zhou Songyan lifted her small, smooth chin, his eyes and brows full of smiles.
"Let me hear you call my husband."
Li Mai grinned: "Husband!"
Zhou Songyan was stunned for a moment.
It seems they didn't expect Li Mai to agree so readily.
Li Mai placed both hands on his face and squeezed them together, distorting his handsome face in her hands, making it look somewhat comical.
"What, you don't like it? Then I'll call you President Zhou."
Zhou Songyan looked at her with doting eyes, letting her do whatever she wanted.
"It sounds nice, I'll call you that from now on."
Li Mai smiled, revealing her prominent dimples, showing that she was in a very good mood.
"Okay, honey."
At this moment, Zhou Songyan felt as if she were floating on honey, her whole body light up.
He took a step forward, got close to Li Mai, wrapped him in his coat, and carried him directly to the car by the roadside.
Li Mai buried her face in his chest, and when she looked up, she could see his chiseled face. She looked around and, seeing that no one was looking at her, quickly touched his lips.
Zhou Songyan: "..."
His eyes darkened, and he quickened his pace.
Back in the car, he pulled her into his arms and kissed her passionately.
He kissed her until she started moaning softly, and he felt uncomfortable too, so he had to let go.
I touched Li Mai's nose.
"You little vixen, I'll deal with you when we get home tonight."
Li Mai looked at him with her bright almond-shaped eyes and her eyebrows curved.
Zhou Songyan's throat bobbed as he retreated with difficulty.
...
"Huh? Weren't we going to the old house? Why are we in the city center?"
Li Mai looked at the street scene outside with a puzzled expression.
Zhou Songyan parked the car, got out, opened the car door for her, and reached out his large hand.
Li Mai glanced at him and placed her hand in his palm.
Zhou Songyan led her into a jewelry store.
“Zhou Songyan, you…”
Zhou Songyan turned to look at her: "Call me husband."
Li Mai pursed her lips and remained silent.
At this moment, several jewelry store employees came over and greeted them warmly.
Zhou Songyan asked, "Where is the wedding ring?"
Li Mai looked at him in surprise.
Zhou Songyan turned to look at her and said, "Wife, see if there's anything you like."
"Sir/Madam, this way please!"
Li Mai regained her composure and followed the staff.
Li Mai was dazzled by the sparkling diamond rings.
Looking at that string of zeros again made me dizzy.
Zhou Songyan pointed to a diamond ring: "This one."
The staff member's smile stretched almost to his ears: "Sir, you have excellent taste. This is our store's prized possession, perfect for someone as distinguished as your wife."
Zhou Songyan: "This one."
Li Mai: "..."
Is this buying cabbage?
That ring costs fifty million!!!
She tugged hard at Zhou Songyan's sleeve.
Zhou Songyan patted her hand and smiled gently at her: "Wife, you'll definitely look good in this!"
Before Li Mai could say anything, Zhou Songyan pointed to a pair of rings: "These two wedding rings are for me too."
Li Mai: "..."
In just a short while, tens of millions were gone.
Fearing that Li Mai would stop him, Zhou Songyan interrupted her several times, quickly swiped his card, and pulled her out of the jewelry store after she had tried on the right size.
Once in the car, Li Mai looked at him and said, "Zhou Songyan, have you always been this extravagant?"
