Chapter 436: Chapter 434
Lu Xiao parked the car, pulled the handbrake, turned off the engine, took the keys, got out, and without a word, walked around the front of the car to open the door on her side.
“Don’t say things that don’t matter, it was you who said this morning that you were certain about getting married with me, so whatever you said, you must follow through.”
She was so stunned that she couldn’t say anything.
Lu Xiao didn’t give her the chance to hesitate either, preventing any long night’s dreams or second thoughts. He bent down and carefully lifted her out of the car.
Incidentally, he was also holding a paper bag in his hand.
When they left the house today, both of them were wearing white shirts, but after the accident, theirs were taken off in the emergency room.
Now, he had brought hers along.
Wen Xian was held by Lu Xiao as they went inside, her hands gripping his neck tightly, her breathing becoming a bit irregular.
Just a short while ago, she was silently crying in the hospital, thinking that she and Lu Xiao might not get the marriage certificate after all, and she didn’t want to hold him back.
The feeling of utter loss and sorrow almost drowned her, but in the blink of an eye, after having slept for a while and woken up, she found herself brought by him to the Civil Affairs Bureau…!
Dominantly, unequivocally, he was making her marry him.
Her heart was tangled, emotions clashing within: “…”
Yet at its deepest core, she still deeply craved it.
Because it was no longer early in the morning, and they would soon be off work, today was not a special day, hence there weren’t many people getting married at this time.
There was only one couple ahead of them.
A civil affairs officer, who seemed to be expecting them, came over with a warm smile:
“Mr. Lu, Miss Wen, this way, please. First go to this room to change clothes. Just a change of shirts will do. When you’re ready, call me, and I’ll take your photos.”
Lu Xiao nodded slightly in response to the civil affairs officer: “Thank you for the trouble.”
Afterwards, he took Wen Xian into a room.
It was a room set aside for changing, complete with lockers.
Lu Xiao gently placed her on a chair, then took the paper bag and pulled out a white shirt.
Wen Xian watched this scene, and when she looked at him again, her eyes were filled with complexity.
She bit her lower lip slightly: “…you’ve prepared quite thoroughly.”
She was still wearing her hospital clothes at that moment.
Lu Xiao, however, hummed indifferently, not offering any rebuttal: “I was afraid you’d make excuses about not being able to get photographs done while wearing a hospital gown.”
She felt awkward at once, lightly touching her face, as what he said was indeed true.
For such an important moment, wearing hospital clothes would make her uncomfortable at heart.
Despite the saying that one who survives a great disaster is destined for happiness, now that they were really about to get the marriage certificate, she wanted to look her best, to be recorded on that little red book with him.
After all, it was something that would last a lifetime…
Now, it was time for her to change clothes.
Just as Wen Xian was about to ask him to step outside, she noticed he had no intention of leaving, and his long hand directly reached for the collar of her hospital gown.
Wen Xian looked at him, his expression serious and focused as he began undoing her buttons one by one, and she suddenly felt her face grow hot. Her small hand grabbed onto his.
“I, I can do it myself, you can step out…”
Yet as soon as she spoke—
Lu Xiao’s brow furrowed slightly, he pursed his lips, and eventually said:
“Wen Xian, there’s nothing about you I haven’t seen.”
As he spoke, he took her hand away.
