The scheming guy wiped the smile off his face and said in a solemn voice, “I was forcing myself to smile. Can’t you tell?”
Was he? An Xiaxia blinked. Seeing that Sheng Yize indeed looked very grave, she sympathetically patted him on the shoulder. “Don’t be so sad. Good acts will always be rewarded and I’m sure a kind lady like Grandma Sheng will get better!”
Sheng Yize said, “… Hm.”
Once the photo was taken, they moved on to filling the registration form.
An Xiaxia stared at the form in confusion and didn’t know how to fill quite a number of the blanks. She couldn’t help but whisper to Sheng Yize, “What should I write in this column?”
“I have no idea either. This is my first time doing this,” said Sheng Yize honestly.
“…” As if she had done it before.
The two of them studied the form together and finally managed to fill in everything. They then took it to the staff at the counter.
The staff entered their information into the computer before inserting two red booklets into the printer. Before long, two freshly-made marriage certificates were done!
Holding hers in her hands, An Xiaxia still found the whole thing unreal.
Just like that… she was married…
She had to admit that she was a little disappointed.
However, as long as Grandma Sheng could get better, it was worth it!
An Xiaxia’s thoughts were optimistic. She turned her head and saw that Sheng Yize had checked the red booklet over and over again before carefully putting it away in his pocket.
“I can keep it for you in my bag!” An Xiaxia offered enthusiastically, but Sheng Yize turned her down right away. “I think I’ll hold onto an important document like this myself, thank you.”
“Tch… suit yourself.” An Xiaxia found him ridiculous.
They went back to the hospital right away.
Grandma Sheng was still diligently lying in bed. Seeing them come in, she asked weakly, “Have you obtained your certificate?”
“Yes! We have!” An Xiaxia showed the red booklet to Grandma Sheng and said sadly, “Grandma, do get well.”
“Of course…” Grandma Sheng was so happy that she nearly sat up. Sheng Yize had to cast her a stern look to make her lie still.
“The doctor said grandma is doing much better now. Let me take you back home to get some rest.” Sheng Yize carefully took An Xiaxia’s hand and An Xiaxia bid Grandma Sheng farewell, unwilling to part with the old lady.
When An Xiaxia wasn’t looking, Grandma Sheng mouthed at Sheng Yize, “Little one, cherish your wedding night! Fighting!”
The corner of Sheng Yize’s mouth twitched. The old lady was really open about this…

An Xiaxia remained dispirited after they got back home. She went to bed right after taking a shower.
She turned and tossed in bed, but sleep simply wouldn’t come. It agitated Sheng Yize and he had to press her down. “Stop moving! Go to sleep!”
“I can’t…” An Xiaxia blinked innocently. “I’m so worried about Grandma Sheng.”
“She’s going to be fine,” Sheng Yize said calmly.
An Xiaxia thought his reaction odd and asked suspiciously, “Why aren’t you worried at all? She was in such grave condition.”
That rendered Sheng Yize speechless. He had to ponder for a moment before saying, “Our hospital has the best doctors in the country. I have faith in them and their skills.”
“Alright…” An Xiaxia pursed her lips. Maybe she was overthinking it.
Sheng Yize held her face in his hands and kissed her on her eyebrows, the corners of her eyes, her lips… and all the way down. He paused when he reached her breast and said in a husky voice, “Call my name.”
“Sheng Yize?”
“No, call me ‘hubby.’”
“… Forget it.”
He grabbed her soft breasts and gave them a squeeze. An Xiaxia went teary-eyed. “Don’t…”
Sheng Yize sighed with satisfaction. “Call me or… I’ll do that again.”
