Chapter 68 -68 Let’s Get Our Marriage Certificate

Xie Yanchuan went to the kitchen, first glanced at the somewhat messy kitchen, and then immediately began to tidy up, all the while trying hard not to let his thoughts run wild.

Later, as Xie Yanchuan cooked, Xu Jinzhi sat in the living room watching a variety show for a while but found it too boring to watch seriously.

She spent some time replying to messages on her phone, then went into the kitchen to watch Xie Yanchuan cook.

Xu Jinzhi completely treated this place as her own territory, and Xie Yanchuan, the original owner, always felt involuntarily nervous whenever Xu Jinzhi approached him.

Almost an hour later, Xie Yanchuan had prepared three dishes and a soup. Xu Jinzhi followed close behind, very diligently carrying the dishes.

Xie Yanchuan didn’t stop her, and soon the two sat down at the dining table.

During the meal, Xu Jinzhi asked, “Do you need to go to the lab this afternoon?”

Xie Yanchuan hesitated for a moment, then shook his head. There wasn’t much to do, he could go to the lab, but Xu Jinzhi was back, wasn’t she?

“Do you have something to do?” Xie Yanchuan asked.

“No, just thinking about how to plan the afternoon.” Xu Jinzhi really had no experience with romance.

Tonight’s dinner had been set—a romantic candlelit meal. It was for Xie Yanchuan’s birthday.

But there were still several hours in the afternoon. What to do?

Go shopping? Watch a movie?

It wasn’t that these ideas were unacceptable, but Xu Jinzhi thought they lacked originality. Considering today was special, she wanted the date to be special too.

Xu Jinzhi thought about how to arrange the afternoon as she ate.

While Xu Jinzhi was lost in thought, Xie Yanchuan still remembered to serve her food, but he did so silently, without uttering any unnecessary words.

Whatever Xu Jinzhi wanted to do, he had no objections.

After thinking for quite a while, Xu Jinzhi suddenly had an idea. A light sparked in her eyes, and she looked at Xie Yanchuan with a surprised expression.

Xie Yanchuan was somewhat baffled by Xu Jinzhi’s sudden expression, but he still said nothing.

Xu Jinzhi swallowed the food in her mouth, then said with a smile, “Today is a workday. Let’s go get our marriage certificate this afternoon!”

Xie Yanchuan looked at Xu Jinzhi, and the expression in his eyes changed in an instant, filled with disbelief. He even doubted if he had heard correctly.

“What, what did you say?” Xie Yanchuan stammered.

Xu Jinzhi smiled again, leaned closer to Xie Yanchuan, and said in a lower voice, “Let’s get our marriage certificate.”

Actually, this matter wasn’t so abrupt. Two months later would be their wedding.

The elders in the family had also mentioned before, advising them to discuss and choose a suitable time to get the certificate.

It’s just that Xu Jinzhi hadn’t been in a hurry before, and it occurred to her all of a sudden today.

Xie Yanchuan was still dazed and hadn’t snapped back to reality when Xu Jinzhi asked again, “Shall we go?”

Even if Xie Yanchuan was surprised, he had confirmed he wasn’t hallucinating. Xu Jinzhi was talking about getting “the certificate,” going to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get the marriage certificate!

After getting the marriage certificate, they would be husband and wife; they would be a family!

“Shouldn’t we discuss this with Uncle first?” Xie Yanchuan asked with a somewhat trembling voice.

Xu Jinzhi said, “We talked about it before, remember? He said it’s up to us to decide.”

Since Xu Jinzhi and Xie Yanchuan’s affair had been set in stone, half a year had already gone by.

In the past, Xu Zhen had taken meticulous care of Xu Jinzhi, involving himself in everything, but Xu Zhen knew that he couldn’t keep that up forever.

So, after gradually coming to accept the fact that Xu Jinzhi was going to get married, Xu Zhen had let Xu Jinzhi and Xie Yanchuan be as much as possible.

“Or do we need to notify your parents first?” Xu Jinzhi asked.

Xie Yanchuan shook his head; he was certain in his heart that they wouldn’t interfere.

“So the person who needs to make a decision now is you.” Xu Jinzhi had never considered anyone else’s thoughts, from the beginning to the end, she was only concerned with what Xie Yanchuan was thinking.

Xie Yanchuan looked at Xu Jinzhi and didn’t speak, but his heart was beating so fast it felt like it was about to leap out of his chest.

Seeing that Xie Yanchuan made no move, Xu Jinzhi knew he agreed!

Instantly, Xu Jinzhi revealed a triumphant smile. Seizing the moment before Yanchuan could react, she leaned in and kissed the corner of his lips, “Then it’s settled, we’ll go get our marriage license this afternoon!”

Two o’clock in the afternoon.

Xu Jinzhi had already changed into her clothes. The claim that she had no clothes to wear yesterday was just a lie to tease Xie Yanchuan; while not abundant, her suitcase contained seven or eight outfits to choose from.

She selected a white blouse and then donned a pair of jeans. Her hair wasn’t tied up, but it had been carefully styled; with the experience of her past life, Xu Jinzhi knew not to wear heavy makeup for photos, so she deliberately went for light makeup.

The simple combination of clothing and makeup gave off a youthful vitality at a glance.

“Okay!” Xu Jinzhi turned back and looked at Xie Yanchuan.

At that moment, Xie Yanchuan was also ready, his serious demeanor much like his usual self at academic conferences.

The only difference, perhaps, was that Xie Yanchuan wouldn’t feel nervous at academic conferences, but right now he was very nervous, feeling a sweaty sensation in the palms of his hands.

“Let’s go then,” Xie Yanchuan said, feigning composure.

Xu Jinzhi nodded and went over to Xie Yanchuan, taking his arm.

Xie Yanchuan was somewhat stiff; his Adam’s apple bobbed and he had to steel himself to move forward.

However, just as they left the house and the door closed behind them, Xie Yanchuan stopped at the door.

Xu Jinzhi asked with some confusion, “What’s wrong?”

Xie Yanchuan looked up at Xu Jinzhi, his voice somewhat hoarse, “I’m checking if I have all the documents.”

He had already checked before, but Xie Yanchuan still felt nervous, fearing that he might have forgotten something.

After checking once more, there were only two items—a household registration book and an ID card. Seeing that everything was in place, Xie Yanchuan subtly let out a sigh of relief.

Xu Jinzhi could completely understand Xie Yanchuan’s nervousness; to tell the truth, she herself was a bit nervous as well.

After all, getting a marriage license now, compared to getting one in her past life, was an entirely different state of mind!

In this life, she was overjoyed to be with Xie Yanchuan.

“Let’s go,” Xie Yanchuan said once more.

“Okay,” Xu Jinzhi nodded, and together they headed towards the elevator, pressing the button for the underground parking garage once inside.

As soon as they were in the car and Xie Yanchuan was about to drive off, the ringtone of a cellphone suddenly rang out.
