Rebirth: Ghost Exorciser

1595 Finally Getting Marriage Certificates

The two of them got their marriage certificates without a hitch. There were very few people when they arrived. After filling out the form, they didn’t queue for long before they registered their marriage.

After leaving the Civil Affairs Bureau, Chi Shuyan heaved a sigh of relief, especially when she saw the man next to her. She felt that the dust had settled.

As for how her age had suddenly been changed to make her older, Chi Shuyan couldn’t be bothered to dwell on it. If she really thought about it carefully, she had already lived an extra lifetime. This was a huge gift from the heavens; it didn’t matter if she was suddenly a few years older.

Chi Shuyan was relaxed, but the man next to her was in the exact opposite mood. At that moment, he was holding the two thin marriage certificates tightly in his right hand. He was so excited that his heart was in his throat. His palms were covered in sweat from nerves, and his fingers twitched from time to time.

He was dazed and in disbelief, but he was also overjoyed and excited. His heart thumped as if it would jump out of his chest in the next second.

But given Qi Zhenbai’s character, no matter how excited he was, the slightest bit of emotion didn’t show on his face. His face was cold and solemn, though the muscles on his face twitched occasionally. His thin lips were pursed tightly as usual, and he looked especially aloof and difficult to approach.

The two got into the car. Qi Zhenbai was still a bit dazed, and his fingers on the steering wheel were a bit white. He wanted to say something, but hesitated.

It was only when Chi Shuyan started talking that the strange silence between the two of them was broken. “Where… are we going now?”

“Where should we go?”

“Why don’t we go back to the villa first?” She hadn’t forgotten about drawing Level 5 Pure Yang Talismans for Yang Ji and Wang Jingyang. After a pause, she thought of Grandpa and her father, and said, “I still have something to do, so I won’t go back to the hospital with you to see Grandpa first. I’ll go see him when I’m free tomorrow. As for the fact that we’ve already registered our marriage, can you tell Grandpa?”

Chi Shuyan spoke to the man next to her in a negotiating tone, which pleased Qi Zhenbai very much.

The man’s cold and hard face suddenly softened. He hummed softly, started the engine, and drove in the direction of her villa. He didn’t say anything else as he kept his gaze forward.

Taking advantage of the moment, Chi Shuyan immediately called her father.

Actually, it would be a good thing if her father didn’t pick up the call. She was quite happy about registering her marriage with the man next to her, but she really didn’t know how to explain it to her father. She was afraid that he would impulsively rush to the capital to interrogate her.

Even if her father already knew about Qi Zhenbai, he probably didn’t expect Chi Shuyan to register her marriage with this man so soon and even change her age to do so.

Her throwing herself at the man and registering their marriage would definitely be a bombshell for her father!

After Chi Shuyan dialed the number, she subconsciously felt flustered as she listened to the phone ring. However, she had already registered her marriage, and she didn’t regret it. Thinking this, she looked at the tall man next to her out of the corner of her eye. The last bit of regret in her heart was swept away, and she calmed down.

Her father didn’t pick up. Chi Shuyan didn’t know if she should heave a sigh of relief or feel something else, but she tried a few more times. However, her father had probably been very busy recently, and didn’t pick up her calls.

Only then did she give up and put her phone in her pocket.

Less than ten minutes later, the car quickly arrived at the entrance of her villa. Chi Shuyan had the man stop at the gate. Before she opened the car door and got out, Chi Shuyan thought of something and suddenly tilted her head at the man. “Wait, right, why don’t you leave the marriage certificates with me? Can you take a photo for Grandpa instead?”

She was mainly afraid that this man would lose the marriage certificates, and it would be troublesome to redo them. She might as well bring them home and put them in a safe place.

The tall man in the driver’s seat rejected her suggestion without hesitation. “No need!”

He didn’t say that he hadn’t looked at them enough. Thinking of how he could touch them anytime when they were on him, he felt immensely reassured.

In fact, right up until his wife appeared at the Civil Affairs Bureau today, he still couldn’t believe that she really wanted to register their marriage, and thought they were just empty words.

After racing home to get his household register, he went to the Civil Affairs Bureau and waited for a long time. As he waited at the entrance, the thought that she might regret it flashed through his mind.

Even now, he still felt lingering fear at the thought. Now that everything had been settled, Qi Zhenbai stared deeply at the woman in front of him with relief, confusion and scrutiny, but more than that, with gentleness and calm.

All the reasons were no longer important, as long as his woman was willing to register their marriage.

Chi Shuyan could actually be forgetful every now and then. It was also good that this man was willing to keep their marriage certificates. She thought for a moment, and was in a good mood as her lips curved up. “Okay, you keep them, but before that, let me take a few photos.”

Chi Shuyan very naturally took out the two marriage certificates from the man’s pocket. She first took a photo of the covers with her phone, then flipped them open and took two more photos.

Chi Shuyan’s head was lowered, and she didn’t notice the man in the driver’s seat staring at her gently. Occasionally, he glanced at the marriage certificates. His eyes were filled with a gentle and sincere smile, and the cold and hard lines of his face were a soft mess.

After taking a few photos, Chi Shuyan put the marriage certificates back into the man’s pocket and told him to keep them properly before she opened the car door to get out.

But before she could get out of the car, the man grabbed her wrist. This time, he used just enough strength. Chi Shuyan looked back, thinking that he wanted to ask her why she had taken the photos.

She smiled and said, “I’ll post the photos on my Moments later; is that alright?”

Given how much the man valued privacy, she still asked politely. Qi Zhenbai obviously didn’t expect her to take photos for this purpose, and his expression was especially complicated. After a moment, his expression immediately softened. He looked at her as if he could drown in honey, and the last bit of doubt in his heart from what happened last night dissipated.

The man revealed a sincere and gentle smile that disappeared in a flash, almost blinding Chi Shuyan. She heard him say in a deep voice, “Okay!”

Before getting out of the car, Chi Shuyan thought of what happened last night. Although she had already explained about her relationship with Jing Hengran last night, the man had fainted right after that. She didn’t know if he had really heard her or not. Since she had gotten marriage certificates with this man, she naturally wanted to live a good life with him and didn’t want him to misunderstand again. So, Chi Shuyan hesitated for a moment before she explained again, “By the way, Jing Hengran suddenly came over last night because he wanted to cooperate with me. We’re just ordinary friends. We’ve only met a few times. We haven’t dated or slept together, or done anything else!”

At this point, Chi Shuyan actually didn’t mind saying a little more, but she inexplicably didn’t dare look at the man’s face at all. She only looked down and saw a few bulging veins on the back of his hand. She paused for a moment before she continued, “Actually, I… long wanted to make up with you. It was just that half a month ago, I sent you messages, but you didn’t reply. I thought you wanted to cut ties, so I thought I should go along with your wishes…”

Before she could finish speaking, Chi Shuyan felt herself pulled over. By the time she came back to her senses, the man in front of her was already hugging her fiercely and tightly, as if he wanted to suffocate her to death.

Her face was smashed against the man’s hard chest. Fortunately, she reacted quickly so that it was her forehead that was pressed to his broad chest. The bridge of her nose didn’t hit him, and she could hear the man panting. His entire head was buried in her shoulder, and he suddenly bit her fiercely.

It hurt so much that Chi Shuyan almost kicked him away.

She heard the man’s overbearing reply and explanation. “I was busy. I… didn’t see those messages. Don’t avoid me!”

Chi Shuyan originally had a lot to say to the man, but his bite had ruined the atmosphere. She didn’t know if Chef Li and the others were in the villa today, but she was afraid that they would see her. Chi Shuyan hurriedly pushed at him, but the more she pushed, the tighter the man hugged her. The man said solemnly in a deep voice, “Wife, let’s live well in the future and not argue anymore!”

If he had known that he would almost lose his wife after an argument, he wouldn’t have made a fuss back then, let alone break up so easily.

His wife was his when they were together, but after they broke up, a lot of men wanted to woo her. He thought of Jing Hengran. Even though his wife had made things clear, he was well aware of the other man’s feelings. Follow current s on novelenglish.net . ꜰɪre.ɴet

The way that man had looked at his wife in the restaurant back then had made Qi Zhenbai want to dig out his eyes.

Fortunately, the two of them had already registered their marriage, so his heart was much calmer.
