"Oh..." Understanding this was the typical way a father-in-law would initially give the son-in-law a hard time, He Qimo, brought back by me from the United States back then, faced a similar situation with my father for over a month, but later on...
With a smile tugging at her lips, Gu Zixuan realized that this was an inevitable situation for a first visit. It was normal for the girl’s family to be reserved and put on airs, especially since her father was naturally proud.
Listening to Feng Chengjin’s relaxed tone, her cheeks inadvertently flushed, and she lowered her face, continuing to wash the dishes, saying, "Oh, then let’s find another chance to come again another day."
Her shyness made Feng Chengjin understand that Gu Zixuan also wanted to marry him at this moment.
In the bitterness of his mood, he reached out, wrapped her waist, and pulled her into his arms.
Gu Zixuan didn’t expect his sudden embrace, holding a white drying cloth and a porcelain bowl in her hands, unsure of where to put them.
Feng Chengjin rested his chin on her forehead, pulling her deeper into his embrace.
Feng Chengjin’s body was stiff, and besides the strength, there was the scent of detergent that Gu Zixuan loved to smell the most.
But Gu Zixuan’s body was soft, and the same faint fragrance wafted into his nose, slightly easing the sadness in Feng Chengjin’s heart after meeting Gu Qingfeng. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ NoveI★Fire.net
Gu Zixuan couldn’t see Feng Chengjin’s momentarily hoarse and vacant expression, but being held just right in his arms, she also felt moved for a moment.
Leaning lightly against his chest, she said, "Chengjin, shall we go get the marriage certificate now?"
Above her head, a faint voice from Feng Chengjin came, "Okay."
Gu Zixuan smiled, placing the bowl and drying cloth on the edge of the sink, turned around, hugged his waist, and leaned her head into his shoulder blade.
Leaving home, they bid farewell to her mother, Qiu Yuan, as her father, Gu Qingfeng, said he was tired from the flight and planned to take a nap.
Gu Zixuan and Feng Chengjin decided not to disturb him.
Driving towards the neighborhood gate, as they passed by the entrance, because vehicles not belonging to the community needed to verify their license plates, they didn’t leave immediately.
So when they saw Gu Zixuan sitting in Feng Chengjin’s car, a few security guards at the entrance couldn’t help but take a few extra glances, especially at Gu Zixuan and the Rolls-Royce Phantom that Feng Chengjin was driving today, exchanging frequent looks.
What they were discussing, Feng Chengjin and Gu Zixuan didn’t even need to think to understand, especially with the involuntary mocking smiles on their lips.
Gu Zixuan noticed, her face darkened slightly, pretending not to see as she turned her head away.
Feng Chengjin’s heart sank even deeper as he looked at Gu Zixuan’s face, which had been trained from extreme sensitivity to indifference, his fingertips slightly tightening.
Soon, his shoulders could only relax helplessly...
Arriving at the civil affairs bureau, it was just right for the office hours at two in the afternoon.
Sitting on the chairs in the waiting corridor, Gu Zixuan clutched the ticket she had just taken, her lips unable to suppress a slight upward curve.
The people around them were also waiting, just like them.
The sweetness between the couples made her heart uncontrollably joyful.
Their number wouldn’t be called too soon since there were still people from the morning who hadn’t finished registering. Even though she had taken the earliest afternoon number, it was likely to be around 4 PM when their turn came.
It was at this moment that He Qimo called...
