Chapter 16
Get a marriage certificate
"What did you say?"
Xu almost dropped the bowl in his hand, thinking he was hallucinating.
I said,
Jiang Fengyi repeated it lightly.
"We're going to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get our marriage certificate this Friday."
Xu was completely stunned: "Aren't we in a fake marriage?"
"A fake marriage, a real marriage certificate," Jiang Fengyi said, taking a sip of stewed chicken that was so tender it practically fell off the bone, and then comfortably squinting her eyes.
“I also thought about getting a fake document to fool my mother, but there was a risk that it would be discovered, and I didn’t want to take the risk.”
"Although it's not written in the agreement, I can pay more."
"That's okay... too."
Xu felt as if he were walking on clouds; everything happening before his eyes seemed unreal.
It's like casually going out to throw away some trash, and not only does a pie fall from the sky, but it's also thoughtfully cut into small pieces and fed to her.
What's the difference between this and a real marriage? She secretly glanced at Jiang Fengyi as she drank her soup, noting her delicate eyebrows, small nose, and rosy lips.
It's beautiful from every angle!
"We won't be participating in the department team building activity this weekend. You need to come with me to my mother's for dinner this week."
Xu almost forgot the terms she was supposed to fulfill in the marriage agreement and hurriedly asked, "Besides meals, what else do I need to do?"
"No need, just stay by my side."
Jiang Fengyi's stomach was filled with Xu Que's concern, and she put down her bowl: "Then I'll pick you up at 9 a.m. on Friday."
"Oh, and bring a change of clothes and pajamas. We need to stay at my mother's for the weekend."
"Never mind, just come directly, I'll prepare it for you."
She gave Xu a heads-up beforehand.
"We'll have to share a room and a bed then."
Jiang Fengyi looked at the person opposite her: "Can you accept this?"
"able!"
Xu had already prepared for the two of them to be alone in a room the day the agreement was signed, not to mention that she now had feelings for Jiang Fengyi.
This was a complete reward for her.
As a result, Xu went back to bed that day and tossed and turned in bed, too excited to sleep.
She skillfully opened the little green book.
The editing and publishing process was completed in one go.
What should you pay attention to after your crush becomes your waifu?
"To explain, my wife and I didn't get married out of love. She only did it to appease her family. So we were just a contractual couple without any feelings for each other."
"But the main contractor inevitably fell in love with her during their daily interactions; she truly is a kind and gentle person,"
"What are some ways to make my wife like me more?"
[Funny, can they even be called lovers if there's no affection between them? They should be called business partners.]
It's very simple. Treat your wife like you would your boss. I saw in your last post that you asked how to flatter your boss, so you probably have some experience with that.
The person upstairs is right; treat your wife like your boss and provide her with ample emotional support.
The original poster commented: "But my wife is my boss!"
[Shouldn't we change our strategy? If we continue to treat her this way, I'm afraid she'll just see me as an ordinary subordinate.]
The original poster (OP) stated, "I'm no longer satisfied with just a professional relationship with her; I want to take it further."
The original poster (OP) wants her to like them too.
Xu has already learned to add ~ to the end of sentences; the sisters on Little Green Book say it makes her look cute.
[You're really smug, saying, "My wife is my boss!"]
Has anyone managed to silence the original poster? She's the only one with a mouth.
【I'm really going to throw a tantrum! How come all the good things happen to you?!】
Love is something you can't force; it's best to let it happen naturally.
......
late at night,
He Shuyi had finished all her work and was enjoying a late-night snack while browsing Little Green Book.
Seeing the familiar profile picture and the post asking a question again, she clicked on it without even reading the title.
After browsing the titles and comments, she immediately perked up, despite feeling dizzy from eating too many carbs.
He Shuyi: "!!!"
Weren't you carefully trying to please your boss last week? How did she become your wife in just a few days?
Progress is faster than rocket launches.
What did she miss?
He Shuyi was really curious, so she left a comment in the comments section.
[Excuse me, is the wife you mentioned the same person as your boss in the previous post?]
OP: [Yes, that's right~]
Xu still remembered the nickname; this netizen had given her a lot of advice back then, and she immediately expressed her gratitude to the other party.
He Shuyi had a big smile on her face, like an aunt.
The electronic couple she's shipping is giving us sweet moments so quickly!
[First of all, congratulations on your crush becoming your wife! Secondly, I'd like to ask, are you sure your boss has absolutely no interest in you?]
Could it be that we both love each other, but you mistakenly think it's just unrequited love?
He Shuyi clearly remembered that, based on this netizen's description, her boss must also have feelings for her, otherwise why would he have gotten a marriage certificate with her?
Xu, on the other end of the screen, thought about it carefully for a while, but didn't notice anything about Jiang Fengyi showing any interest in him.
It's not mutual affection; I have a crush on her.
It's true that those involved are often blinded by their own emotions. He Shuyi couldn't wake Xu Que from his daze. She really wanted to see the day when she would realize the other person's hidden love.
Why would you get a marriage certificate if you weren't mutually in love? Wouldn't it be simpler to just sign an agreement?
He Shuyi didn't offer any further advice, only saying, "Then you should spend more time by her side. Long-term companionship can bring you what you want."
She refused to believe that the two of them, living together day and night, could avoid confessing their feelings.
Xu accepted her suggestion and pondered how to increase the time she spent with Jiang Fengyi.
Do you accompany her to work overtime every day?
To find an excuse to make her accompany me?
Should I move in with her?
Amidst a flurry of thoughts, Xu drifted off to sleep.
Friday arrived in the blink of an eye, the day Jiang Fengyi and I had agreed to get our marriage certificate.
As dawn broke, Xu woke up early. Unable to fall back asleep, she simply got up and began to prepare herself.
After washing up, she changed into a white shirt, her hair neatly combed back, revealing her full forehead and delicate eyebrows and eyes.
She winked at herself in the mirror and whispered to herself that this was not a dream and that everything that was happening was real!
Xu thought that Jiang Fengyi would come to pick her up later, so she kindly prepared breakfast for her. However, she was so nervous that she didn't handle the food well, resulting in a little too much breakfast today.
"so much?"
"Just the two of us eating?"
Jiang Fengyi looked at the table full of food. There were several kinds of staple food alone, freshly cooked porridge, steamed sweet potatoes and corn, steaming buns, not to mention the side dishes, both meat and vegetables.
Xu Que: "Yes, yes, we did a bit too much."
Jiang Fengyi pulled out a chair and sat down: "That's perfect, we don't need to cook lunch. We can save the leftovers for lunch when we get our marriage certificate."
With Xu anxious anticipation, the two arrived at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau.
The glass doors were deserted; not many people had come to get their marriage certificates, and only a few staff members were dozing off in a corner.
Xu took a deep breath, mustered his courage, took Jiang Fengyi's hand, and strode up the steps to go inside.
The staff were very efficient; it took them only half an hour to receive the two red certificates.
Xu opened their marriage certificate, and the photo on it was taken at the scene. Fortunately, the two were good-looking, and luckily, the photographer, who had no skill whatsoever, captured a tender moment.
"The newlyweds, come closer and smile."
"Crack—"
A new couple was born.
[Author's Note]
Let's congratulate the newlyweds!
