Chapter 748 When are we going to get the marriage certificate?
In fact, Guan Xia already had a premonition, but when she heard Jiang Qi's proposal, her heart was still beating wildly, almost bursting out of her chest.
She stared at Jiang Qi's eyes, which gradually became a little empty, and she didn't dare to really look him in the eye.
This matter...if she agreed, it would not be appropriate.
If she didn't agree, things would come to this point, and I'm afraid they would be embarrassed to meet each other in the future.
Jiang Qi took a step forward, and Guan Xia retreated in panic.
Seeing Guan Xia's evasive action, Jiang Qi stopped immediately, feeling disappointed: "Xia Xia, did I scare you?"
Guan Xia shook her head: "I just... haven't thought about how to answer. I'm afraid that I will regret it if I agree, and I'm also afraid that if I refuse, we won't be friends in the future."
"Don't refuse me, okay?" Jiang Qi said softly, raised his hand and gently held Guan Xia's arm: "I really need your help now."
Guan Xia raised her eyes and finally met his gaze again.
Jiang Qi thought of Mingzhu's words just now, which clearly had already found a reason for him.
He immediately said, "If Liu Xiaoran only came to harass me, I would not care about her mess even if my reputation was ruined. But now, because of me, my mother has been hospitalized due to her illness. She even had surgery before, and now she can't even have surgery again. She can only receive conservative treatment. It is still unclear whether the treatment will be successful or not. If my mother gets hurt because of this, it would be my unfilial behavior!"
Guan Xia comforted her, "Don't say that, Auntie will be fine."
"We can't only face the good but not the bad. My mother's body..." Jiang Qi said with a heavy sigh.
Guan Xia felt sad when she thought of her aunt's appearance just now. She also felt that her aunt seemed to be in a serious condition, but she didn't want to vent Jiang Qi's anger.
Jiang Qi then said: "And the problem now is that I have also implicated Jiang Duo and Zhu Zhu. Liu Xiaoran said she wanted to get involved, and even risked committing suicide to disgrace the Jiang family. It is obvious that she wants me to bow my head. If I compromise because I don't want her to continue to target the Jiang family, then I'm afraid she will become more aggressive. Jiang Duo and Zhu Zhu are both good people, and their reputations cannot be tarnished because of me."
He held Guan Xia's arm a little tighter: "So Xia Xia, can you help me?"
Guan Xia clenched his hands slightly into fists under his held arms.
Jiang Qi did not give up and continued: "I know that you have no intention of getting married in this life. You do not trust men, nor do you believe in anyone's promises. I do not ask you to believe me, but I hope you can give me a chance to prove myself.
I have never broken my promise to anyone in my life, and I certainly will not break my promise to you. I said I would treat you well, and I will. If you do not believe me, I can write you a letter of guarantee before marriage. As long as you are willing to marry me, from now on, the money in our family will be yours, and you will have the final say on all matters in the family."
Guan Xia began to hesitate in her heart.
She felt from the bottom of her heart that Jiang Qi's words were trustworthy. She
also wanted to trust Jiang Qi, but she was really a little scared, afraid that if she made a wrong bet?
This is marriage, how can it be taken lightly.
But thinking about the current situation of the Jiang family, whether it is Auntie or Zhuzhu, they are elders and friends she cares about, can she just ignore it?
Jiang Qi saw Guan Xia's hesitation and knew that if he pushed further, he would lose more than he gained. He felt disappointed: "You don't trust me, and you want some time to think about it?"
"No," Guan Xia figured something out and looked at him: "Brother Qi, I trust you, I can marry you."
Jiang Qi was surprised, and the joy on his face could no longer be concealed: "Really?"
Guan Xia nodded: "But... I hope you can listen to my conditions."
"Okay, you tell me, no matter how many conditions you have, I will agree."
Guan Xia sighed: "I don't want anything to happen to my aunt, nor do I want Zhuzhu to be implicated, so I cooperate with you to register for marriage, but... we are getting married to make Liu Xiaoran give up, we are just a superficial couple, and don't go any further. I think as long as we can maintain our current friendship, then neither of us will be hurt in marriage."
Jiang Qi: ...
Real marriage, but a fake couple.
This little girl hasn't let down her guard after all.
But the top priority now is to turn the fake couple into a real couple first, and the future... we can take it slowly in the future. I don't believe that if the two of them live under the same roof and I spare no effort to be good to her, I won't find a chance for her to fall in love with me.
"Okay, I've said it before, as long as you're willing to marry me, I'll listen to you no matter what you say," Jiang Qi couldn't help but smile.
Guan Xia looked at Jiang Qi's unconcealed smile, which seemed very happy. She couldn't help but wonder, it's just a fake marriage, why is he so happy?
Is it because I proposed it, a real marriage, a fake couple, that made him feel relieved?
Yes, there was no love between the two of them, and he must have mustered up a lot of courage to marry me.
Thinking of this, she smiled at Jiang Qi and said, "I'm fine with either."
Jiang Qi thought of something and said, "By the way, Xia Xia, we got the certificate but are going to be fake husband and wife, so don't let my family know. After all... they might blame me for not taking responsibility, marrying you but not taking the marriage seriously."
"I can explain to them, this is my request..."
"Let's not tell them, maybe my mother will be happy when she knows we are really getting married, and she will recover faster."
Guan Xia didn't think much about it, just thinking that Jiang Qi was worried about his mother, and nodded, "Okay, I'm fine with either."
The certificate has been obtained, so it doesn't matter whether it is true or not.
Jiang Qi's face was full of anticipation, and he asked again: "Then when are we going to get the certificate?"
Guan Xia was stunned for a moment: "This... you decide."
"We will go back and file our marriage report tomorrow, and get the certificate the day after tomorrow."
Guan Xia was surprised: "Is it so urgent?"
"Well, I want to deal with this matter as soon as possible. I don't want Liu Xiaoran's affairs to continue to ferment and affect the lives of my family."
Guan Xia sighed: "Then... you just arrange this matter, I will cooperate."
"Okay, let's go, let's go buy some food, otherwise they will be very hungry," Jiang Qi finally let go of the hands that were holding Guan Xia's shoulders, and walked towards the door with Guan Xia side by side.
He clasped his hands tightly behind his back, trying to hide his excitement at the moment.
Otherwise, he was really afraid that he would accidentally reveal his true colors and scare away the little girl he had deceived with great difficulty.
And Guan Xia had no idea that just when she was still planning to pretend to be a couple with Jiang Qi in the future and how to prevent this relationship from deteriorating, Jiang Qi's mind had already run away like a wild horse at an 800-kilometer speed.
He even thought about how many children they would have in the future.
