After a while, Grandma called. Chen Chen knew what she wanted to say without needing to guess.
Half an hour later, Chen Chen returned home and saw Bai Ran there as well.
Grandma sat in the main hall with the photo in front of her. “Tell me, what are you planning to do now?”
“Publicize our marriage!”
“Announce our divorce directly!”
When the two sentences were said at the same time, Chen Chen and Bai Ran looked at each other, unwilling to believe what the other party had said.
“You want to escape from me too much!” Chen Chen said speechlessly.
“Why do you want to make it public? What about her?” Bai Ran was similarly speechless.
“Alright, then listen to my opinion now. I want to make this public and tell the media that Ran Ran, you’re Chen Chen’s official wife. You’re definitely not a mistress!” Grandma announced.
“Ah! No, Grandma. We almost entered the Civil Affairs Bureau this morning, but now…” Bai Ran was in a difficult position as she stopped her.
“So what? You haven’t entered yet! As long as you don’t get your marriage certificate, you’re husband and wife!” Grandma’s eyes were firm and decisive.
Bai Ran could not persuade Grandma, but she turned her eyes to Chen Chen.
“Hu Wan definitely can’t stand it. How could you publicize it? She’ll be the target of public criticism,” Bai Ran asked.
Chen Chen did not speak. He knew that she had a point, but he could not watch her be framed as a mistress!
“Ran Ran, why are you so kind?! You’ve always been thinking for Hu Wan, that woman. Has she ever thought for you?!” Grandma held Bai Ran’s hand and said with heartache. “She must have seen the news now. Seeing that you’re recognized as a mistress, she might be laughing secretly somewhere! If she has a conscience, she should reveal the truth to the media!”
“Grandma, I’m not being kind. It’s just that she’s a patient after all… I don’t want to harm a life because of me!” Bai Ran sighed.
“I don’t care. Anyway, I only think of you as the daughter-in-law of our Chen family!” Grandma looked at Bai Ran seriously.
“That’s right! Besides, I saw that the two of you were actually quite harmonious previously!” Chen Chen’s mother came over. “It’s rare for me to call Chen Chen, but the two of you were always together!”
Chen Chen’s mother chuckled.
“No, we were just joking, nothing happened!” Bai Ran’s cheeks turned red.
“That’s the same. Isn’t it good to joke around?! Why must you get a divorce?!” Chen Chen’s mother looked at the couple and really did not want them to separate.
When they finally came out of the Chen family, Bai Ran asked a little reproachfully, “Why didn’t you answer them earlier?!”
“Is my answer useful? Look at how firm your stand is?” Chen Chen looked at the sky, hoping that he could be as free as those clouds and choose according to his wishes.
“Don’t forget that you handed the divorce agreement to me personally!” Bai Ran said.
“But I didn’t sign it!” Chen Chen emphasized. “Besides, you don’t have a household register now, and you can’t get a divorce, so do you still think it can’t be made public?”
“Who was the one who cared about Hu Wan’s feelings all along? Who was afraid that she would be aggrieved and agitated? Couldn’t I consider this for you now?” Bai Ran sighed. When she thought of those scenes in the past, her heart turned a little cold.
“Can I take your words as jealousy?” Chen Chen looked at Bai Ran. The woman in front of him had always liked him. She had even collected all the things related to him for so many years. Could she really give up on him so easily?
“You’re thinking too much. I just want to say that you shouldn’t do anything you’ll regret,” Bai Ran replied.
“Then if we really don’t make it public like you said and get a divorce today, will you regret it?” Chen Chen straightened his body and looked serious.
“…” Bai Ran looked at that serious face and those expectant eyes. Her heart inexplicably became flustered. It beat wildly, and she suddenly did not know how to answer.
