Chapter 2539: Chapter 2540: They Donât Need to Investigate
âUhâŠâ
Liang Ruoxu was rendered speechless; her performance earlier did indeed seem rather awkward.
âLetâs take another one then.â
Liang Ruoxu smiled and sat down beside Lin Yi again.
She gently tilted her head towards him, and Lin Yi did the same.
Their heads lightly touched, just like two hearts closely leaning against one another.
The wedding photos were quickly finished, then printed out with a printer.
âNow this looks right; see how good it turned out.â
Liang Ruoxu was also satisfied with the photos but noticed an unexpected side of Lin Yi.
She was surprised to see him caring about such things.
Prior to this, she had never thought about it, believing that a casual shot would suffice without bothering about details.
She hadnât expected Lin Yi to care.
After finishing the photos, the two headed to the civil registration office.
There werenât many people in the afternoon, but they still had to queue.
âWhat? We need a medical checkup too?â
Seeing the procedure for obtaining the marriage certificate, Lin Yi was puzzled.
âI looked into this. You have to do a premarital checkup in advance,â Liang Ruoxu explained:
âThe purpose of the checkup is to see if either party has fertility issues; otherwise, problems could arise later, wasting both individualsâ time.â
âThat makes sense,â Lin Yi said, nodding:
âBut youâre already about to give birthâthatâs definitely not a concern for us, right?â
âEven if it were, I wouldnât do it,â Liang Ruoxu replied. âThose checkups are unnecessarily invasive; after doing one, you can feel unwell for days.â
âAlright, letâs finish up quickly and head home.â
âMhmm.â
The two of them picked up two forms and filled out the contents one by one.
After completing the forms, Lin Yi asked Liang Ruoxu to sit to the side while he queued among the crowd.
About ten minutes later, Lin Yi called Liang Ruoxu over, and the two lined up to receive their certificate.
âHuh? Whereâs the premarital checkup report?â the staff member in charge asked.
Liang Ruoxu was just about to explain when a thirty-something long-haired woman stood up nearby, holding the forms for her and Lin Yi.
âThey donât need the premarital check. Just go ahead and process it.â
Clearly, Liang Ruoxu had arranged for this beforehand, and someone was handling the matter.
The long-haired woman who spoke was here specifically to address this.
Liang Ruoxu smiled and nodded in gratitude.
The male staff member hesitated for a moment, then understood the situation and proceeded to process their documents.
âWhatâs the deal? Why donât they need a checkup to get their certificate?â
While processing their documents, someone behind them asked.
âWellâŠâ
The male staff member struggled to respond; after all, this wasnât standard procedure, and it was rather blatant when done like this.
âPremarital checkups are for ensuring healthy offspring,â the long-haired female staff member said:
âDidnât you notice sheâs already pregnant? The check is unnecessary. If youâre in the same situation, you donât need a checkup either.â
After being rebuked, the disgruntled people behind them stopped voicing complaints.
The matter of obtaining the certificate went smoothly.
After stepping outside, both felt a little dazed. Lin Yi recalled how he had seen countless people share photos of their marriage certificates online, finding it a joyful milestone.
But why did their own experience feel so perfunctory?
âWell, from today onwards, Iâm no longer a young girlâIâve graduated to being a married woman and soon-to-be mother.â Liang Ruoxu sighed.
âWhat does that have to do with the certificate?â Lin Yi retorted:
âYouâre about to be a mom; your status changed long ago, didnât it?â
âItâs different. Pregnancy changes your body but not your spirit,â Liang Ruoxu said cryptically:
âIf I hadnât gotten the certificate, once I slimmed down after giving birth, I could still put on a short skirt and high heels and be a trendy girl. But now thatâs overâgetting the certificate means Iâm officially tied down. If I wear short skirts and high heels again, even Iâd feel awkward.â
Lin Yi reached out and pinched her cheek.
âAt this point, and youâre still fantasizing about short skirts and heels? Give it a rest already.â
âHahaâŠâ
Liang Ruoxu laughed heartily, linking her arm with Lin Yiâs.
âLetâs hurry home. Theyâve already made dinner and are just waiting for us to return.â
âOff we go.â
The two drove home, greeted by a feast laid out on the table.
Upon hearing that they had gone to get their marriage certificate, both families were delighted.
âAunt Shen, it seems sheâll be unable to work properly for at least the next six months due to her condition. Can Zhong Hai wait that long?â
âZhong Hai isnât like other places; they definitely canât wait that long,â Shen Shuyi remarked:
âSpeaking of which, Iâll tell you how this is being arranged.â
She set her chopsticks aside and continued:
âTaking advantage of that recent Japan incident, Elder Luâs retirement has been postponed; the situation should remain stable for a while. Her grandfather plans to transfer her back to Yanjing for a year or two before moving her back to Zhong Hai, or else itâll be hard to solidify her position.â
Lin Yi nodded quietly; he had a rough grasp of the situation.
Given her current age, securing a solid position wasnât easy.
At present, there were two viable options. The first was simply waiting for time to pass.
If Liang Ruoxu reached forty while the Liang family maintained its dominance, securing a higher position wouldnât be a problem.
The issue was whether the Liang family could remain strong by the time Liang Ruoxu reached fortyâit was an unknown.
The second possibility was gaining external credentials.
Transferring her back to Yanjing was one such method.
Afterward, it would depend on other opportunities.
In short, solidifying her position was no easy task.
âI think this arrangement is fine. The baby canât be separated from her for now,â Lin Yi mused:
âLet her come back first and establish local connections. In the meantime, Iâll do my part to help. Without some achievements, itâs unlikely to solidify her position.â
âYour influence is still somewhat limited. In a place like Zhong Hai, just having this might not be enough,â Qin Yingyue responded:
âIâll have his father explore opportunities abroad. If we can secure international collaboration contracts, it will certainly help her future development.â
Liang Ruoxu quietly glanced at Lin Yi and Shen Shuyi.
In that moment, the entire family was gathered around, helping plan her future. This filled Liang Ruoxu with a deep sense of joy.
It felt as though she was tightly wrapped in love.
âLet Mi Li handle her own affairs; you two should enjoy yourselves and stop worrying about her,â Liang Cunxiao said.
âWhatâs with the newfound modesty after a promotion? You suddenly feel bad about stepping up?â Qin Yingyue teased.
Liang Cunxiao laughed heartily and nodded.
âItâs mostly because it gets too complicated. We canât rely on others forever; she needs to pave her own way.â
âTimes have changed; going far without help is much harder now,â Qin Yingyue noted:
âEven my son wouldnât have gotten to where he is today without Mi Li and Shuyiâs assistance. Let go of your outdated ideas already.â
