The Civil Affairs Bureau was not far from the family compound, and Gu Jingming held Ye Qingtao's hand all the way and refused to let go.

"Gu Jingming, I'm not a child anymore. I can walk by myself."

"But you are my wife, and I am afraid that she will fall on the road, so I want to hold her hand."

Gu Jingming turned his head and smiled at her, his voice was full of doting, and Ye Qingtao was completely unable to refuse.

Gu Jingming's palms are broad and rough.

Even when holding hands, he was still a little dishonest.

His fingers kept gently scratching Ye Qingtao's palms, and sometimes he would secretly play with her fingers.

Ye Qingtao originally thought that she was thick-skinned enough, but she still blushed and her heart beat fast because of his teasing along the way.

The two came to the Civil Affairs Bureau hand in hand, first registered at the front desk, and then went to take wedding photos.

Both of them were wearing black suit pants and white shirts.

Ye Qingtao had her hair tied into a simple ponytail, secured with a hair tie, and there was no other embellishment on her body.

Gu Jingming was wearing a neatly ironed white shirt and his hair was also combed meticulously.

The two of them stood in front of the camera, their expressions looking a little too serious.

"You are too serious. This won't work. You need to smile."

The photographer kept reminding while looking at the camera.

The corners of their mouths slightly raised, and they forced a smile.

"This still doesn't work, the smile is too stiff."

The photographer stared at the camera for a long time, but no matter how he looked at it, he seemed dissatisfied and had to remind him again.

Finally, he couldn't stand it anymore and walked directly in front of the two of them.

He reached out and gently patted Gu Jingming's face, reminding him to relax.

"Like this, like this, smile like this for a while, do you understand?"

Then he walked in front of Ye Qingtao again. Of course he couldn't hit her, so he could only remind her with words.

He first made a smiling expression, and then asked Ye Qingtao to follow suit.

Ye Qingtao likes to laugh very much, and when she laughs, she has two shallow dimples on her cheeks.

Now, because it is such a big event as getting a marriage certificate, I am so nervous that I can't even laugh.

After the photographer demonstrated several times, Ye Qingtao finally had a smile on her face.

"You guys are handsome and you're beautiful, so your wedding photos should look great. Why do you have to look so stern?"

"Smile, smile, any photo you take with a smile will look good, why can't you smile?"

The photographer tried every possible means and finally captured the moment of their smile.

He looked at the film in the camera, shaking his head and sighing.

"It's you who didn't cooperate. Don't blame me if the wedding photos don't look good."

"I really tried my best! God knows I've talked till my mouth is dry. Why can't you understand?"

Ye Qingtao looked at the photographer who kept sighing, frowning and looking bitter and resentful, and couldn't help but chuckle.

Seeing her like this, the photographer became even more furious.

"Isn't this a pretty smile? Why didn't you smile just now?"

Gu Jingming lowered his head and looked at Ye Qingtao lovingly, which made the photographer so angry that he jumped up and down.

"I thought you only knew how to make faces, but I didn't expect you could smile so well."

The photographer glared at Gu Jingming fiercely and went back to the darkroom to work angrily.

It would take at least half an hour to develop the photos, so the two could only sit on the chairs in the hall and wait quietly.

Ye Qingtao lowered her head and said nothing. Gu Jingming couldn't help but move forward and ask.

"Qingtao, why didn't you smile just now?"

Ye Qingtao didn't know how to answer, and as smart as she was, she immediately threw the question back.

"Gu Jingming, why don't you smile either?"

"It was the first time I got married in my life. I was so nervous that I wanted to laugh but couldn't."

"Well, you'll have experience next time, and you'll definitely be able to laugh next time."

Gu Jingming spoke seriously, and Ye Qingtao also responded seriously.

"What nonsense are you talking about? The men in our Gu family are only widowed but not divorced!"

Gu Jingming said this in a very domineering manner, but Ye Qingtao smiled gently after hearing it.

Gu Jingming is not a domineering president, but his words are full of dominance.

If she hadn't heard this line before, she would have been really moved just now.

As soon as Gu Jingming turned around, he saw Ye Qingtao's teasing eyes, and the usually steady man immediately became anxious.

"You don't believe it?"

"I don't believe it." Ye Qingtao added silently in his heart, not believing even a single punctuation mark.

"There's no point in saying more. You'll know later. Besides, we're a military marriage. There are no issues of principle. It's not that easy to divorce."

"Ye Qingtao, since I've already married you, I've decided to be with you for the rest of my life. Unless you don't want me anymore, I will never let go of your hand!"

Gu Jingming held Ye Qingtao's hand tightly and said in a domineering tone.

Ye Qingtao turned her head and looked at his serious eyes, and her heart suddenly trembled.

This man is serious, and he is serious about this marriage.

But it was obvious that they had just known each other for a short time and had no emotional foundation, so it was almost a flash marriage.

Did Gu Jingming identify her so easily?

Ye Qingtao lowered her eyelids, secretly guessing in her heart.

At this time, a staff member came out with the developed photos.

"Your photos have been developed."

Gu Jingming took it quickly and opened it to see.

Ye Qingtao also wanted to see how expressionless their faces were in the photo they had just taken, so she immediately leaned her little head over.

Gu Jingming deliberately raised the photo a little higher, and Ye Qingtao moved his head closer again.

It was Ye Qingtao leaning in Gu Jingming's arms.

Gu Jingming looked at the developed photos carefully.

The expressions on the faces of the two people in the photo are somewhat serious.

At the photographer's prompting, they kept changing their poses and forced themselves to smile.

The smiles on their faces were rare and a little stiff.

However, the whole photo is very good in terms of color and angle.

It fully displays their characteristics, and they are indeed a handsome man and a beautiful woman, a perfect match.

Ye Qingtao was not particularly satisfied with this photo, as she could obviously have taken a better one.

Gu Jingming put the photo away with a smile and praised it with a happy expression.

"My Qingtao is so pretty. Even when she's not smiling, the pictures she takes are still pretty."

"Mr. Gu, are you disgusted by my lack of smile? Then I will try to smile more brightly next time."

Gu Jingming reached out and patted her head gently, speaking in a doting tone.

"Silly girl, marriage is a lifelong event, and wedding photos only come once, so why would I give you a second chance?"

Gu Jingming put away the photo, naturally took Ye Qingtao's hand, and led her to the front desk.

"Let's go, let's get the certificate."

Ye Qingtao followed him obediently and watched the staff fill in their names and identity information on the marriage certificate.

When he got to the end and only needed to sign to confirm, Gu Jingming suddenly hesitated.

"Wait a minute, I need to think about it."
