Capítulo 896: Chapter 896: Regarding Pre-Marital Assets
Song Baiyan raised his hand to lightly press his temples, and couldn’t help but chuckle. Having someone from the registry office come over was not considered a “big deal,” yet it occupied his mind all morning.
If there was a word to describe it, it would be apprehensive.
No matter how successful and mature a man is, when it comes to matters of love and marriage, once his heart is truly engaged, he is no different from an ordinary person.
In Ji Ming’s eyes, this was like a late-blooming iron tree, somewhat rusty.
In the dining room, Tang Li held a bowl of rice, her eyes occasionally glancing at the door.
Ji Ming led her upstairs where they met Xiao Minglan. Xiao Minglan chatted with her for a bit, just casual concern, without mentioning the registration.
She wasn’t sure if Song Baiyan had already told Xiao Minglan. Since Xiao Minglan didn’t bring it up, Tang Li didn’t mention it either. However, as dinner approached, her thoughts couldn’t help but drift downstairs.
“Don’t you like today’s dishes?”
Xiao Minglan suddenly asked.
Tang Li listened and immediately turned her head to look.
Xiao Minglan put down the spoon. Seeing her absent-minded appearance, she didn’t blame her and said, “The Senate election results will be out in a few days. Your father is a candidate this year, right?”
Tang Li hadn’t answered yet when two chopsticks reached out from across the table.
The chopsticks were held by a pair of small, chubby hands.
Song Jingtian pursed his lips, leaned his small body forward, and grabbed a piece of lotus root with the chopsticks, looking straight ahead as if he wasn’t very familiar with Tang Li.
Tang Li glanced at Little Carrot Head and then responded, “Yes, my father is running in the election.”
Speaking of which, something came to her mind, and she added, “He’s quite confident about his chances in the election.”
The implication being, Lai Wenyan didn’t require any outside assistance.
Xiao Minglan nodded and looked at Tang Li again, her gaze softened, with a faint smile on her lips, “Soon, you’ll probably be like me, an old lady who can’t travel freely anymore.”
Just as Tang Li was trying to think of how to respond, Song Baiyan appeared at the dining room door.
For a moment, her attention shifted.
Once Song Baiyan sat down, Tang Li continued to eat, but her ears were tuned into the movements on the table. Aunt Min quickly served Song Baiyan a bowl of rice. Though they were dining together, it was a typical, casual family meal atmosphere, lacking formalities.
After the meal, Xiao Minglan was the first to speak, “The registry office staff probably won’t arrive until after 2 PM.”
Upon hearing this, Tang Li naturally realized that Xiao Minglan knew about her registration with Song Baiyan. However, unlike her, Xiao Minglan wasn’t in any rush.
“Actually, there’s no hurry,”
Tang Li said, trying to cover up.
Before she finished speaking, a childish hum sounded, “I wonder who it was, opened her backpack several times before dinner to check if she had the household registration book.”
“…” Tang Li.
Aunt Min, who came out carrying tea, teased with a laugh, “You know about the household registration book?”
“Of course,” Song Jingtian said proudly, glancing sideways at Tang Li, “I also know about the division of pre-marital assets and shared marital property.”
This childish talk livened up the dining room atmosphere.
This time, before Xiao Minglan could leave, Song Baiyan stood up first, his deep gaze lingering on Tang Li for a moment, very gentle, before he spoke to Xiao Minglan, “Before we handle the paperwork, there are some matters to discuss, so we won’t linger here.”
Tang Li heard this and immediately stood up.
Xiao Minglan did not ask them to stay.
This lunch was actually a bit delayed.
As they left the dining room, Song Baiyan did not go downstairs but took Tang Li to the private study. With still about forty minutes until 2 PM, as soon as they entered the study, Tang Li said, “I don’t have much pre-marital property, if you have a contract, I can sign it.”
