Chapter 933: Chapter 559: Master Huo Is Getting the Marriage Certificate, Master Wu Gets Innocently Dragged In? (2nd Update)_2
"I want to go register our marriage with you..."
"Register...marriage?" Shen Shuci was taken aback, "What you meant by related to me, is registering our marriage?"
"Actually, since we established our relationship, Iâve been thinking about it..."
"After the marriage report was approved, Iâve been a bit impatient."
"Shuci..."
He lowered his voice to the minimum, becoming more and more enchanting, "Do you want to be my Mrs. Huo?"
At this moment, it seemed like a cicada chirp suddenly came from outsideâ
Its cry was long and drawn out.
It seemed to lightly sting Shen Shuciâs heart, causing a slight tremble.
Huo Qinqiâs marriage report was just preparation for registering the marriage, both their relationship and the organization approved it, what they lacked between them was nothing more than a red marriage book.
"Youâre smoking because of registering our marriage?"
"Nervous." Huo Qinqi was always tongue-tied, and mainly, he was very aware that his family operates in a very hardcore manner, and he was worried that Shen Shuci would disagree.
"But weâve really developed quickly..."
Shen Shuci clutched his waistlineâs clothing, gently twisting it with her fingertips.
"There are even cases where people get married and register the marriage after knowing each other for just one day, weâre not fast." These days, flash marriages are too common.
"I understand, Iâll go home and talk with my parents, and give you an answer later." Shen Shuci looked at him with a smile.
"You have to think it over clearly, registering our marriage means a lifetime; I would never divorce you." Huo Qinqi spoke earnestly.
Shen Shuci nodded with a smile, after all, who gets married with the intention of getting a divorce?
...
The Shen familyâs elders bought a new house, so Shen Shuci naturally didnât need to rent anymore, and the house was near Hexi, making it convenient for her work.
Registering the marriage is a big deal, Huo Qinqi was even thinking of accompanying her to go home and explain it clearly to the elders together, but Shen Shuci refused.
When she went back, she planned to bring it up with the elders over dinner.
Her situation was different from Tang Wanâs.
When Tang Wan registered her marriage, the household registration book was "stolen" for her by her father, but her own household registration book was still in the hands of the elders, and thereâs no getting around that.
"By the way, Shuci, I just discussed with your brother-in-law, tomorrow evening, we plan to invite the Huo Family and the Jiang Family for a meal." Shenâs father smiled, "Your mom and I were hospitalized, especially the Jiang Family, helping a lot, itâs truly not easy, they even showed up for your engagement to support us..."
"If the invitation was simply to thank them, they likely wouldnât come, but since weâve just moved into a new house, we thought weâd use the occasion to treat them to a meal."
"What do you think?"
Shen Shuci nodded, "Sounds good."
"Invite Xixi as well, just not sure if her boss can come, how can one get a leg injury from exercising?" Shenâs father laughed.
"Dad, Mom, brother-in-law..." Shen Shuci hesitated to speak.
Tang Yunxian, currently living nearby, noticed her serious expression, raising his eyebrows, "You donât have plans for tomorrow night, right?"
"No, no plans." Shen Shuci shook her head, "But thereâs something Iâd like to tell you..."
"Go ahead, whatâs the matter." Shenâs father, finally free from the Hospital, found even plain white rice tasted better.
"Qinqi and I are already engaged, his marriage report has been approved, weâre about to start preparing the wedding, our relationship really is..."
Shen Shuci didnât know what Huo Qinqi was nervous about before, she thought their relationship was just naturally progressing, and registering the marriage was no big deal.
But facing her family alone at this moment, her heart couldnât stop pounding.
She should have brought Huo Qinqi along, at least thereâd be some company.
"Why are you stuttering, just say it, or do you have special requests for the wedding that youâre not comfortable voicing yourself?" The old lady smiled, "If youâre uncomfortable saying it, just tell me, and Iâll communicate with the Huo Family."
Shen Shuci took a breath and straightforwardly said, "Itâs not about the wedding, heâs very busy with work, and itâs rare for him to be back in Beijing, so we..."
"Plan to find a time to register our marriage."
"Register your marriage?" Shenâs father paused with his chopstick in hand, his voice suddenly sharpâ
He broke into a shrill tone.
"Why are you so excited? These two kids are already engaged, it wasnât easy to get the marriage report approved, registering the marriage is normal." The old lady took it in stride, "When do you plan to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau?"
"We havenât decided yet, we need to get your consent." Shen Shuci, seeing the responses from her parents werenât too intense, felt her nerves relax a bit.
"You must dress beautifully on the day of registration, or else the photos wonât look good, the best thing would be to wear white shirts, both of you in matching outfits, that would look great." The old lady chuckled.
Shenâs father felt that registering their marriage was a bit quick, but according to his observations, their relationship undoubtedly went beyond just holding hands and kissing.
He estimated that they had done everything, appropriate or not.
The end goal of registering their marriage was to provide security for Shen Shuci and show that Huo Qinqi genuinely wanted to marry her.
The old man, though he grumbled, handed over the household registration book to Shen Shuci after dinner from the drawer.
...
The Shen family elders, wanting to invite guests the next day, naturally needed Tang Yunxianâs help to inform the invitees.
When Jiang Jinsang received the call from his father-in-law, his voice was originally filled with mirth, but after hanging up, Tang Wan noticed his expression wasnât quite right.
"Why did my dad call?"
"He said that grandpa wants to host a dinner tomorrow night and invites us to join."
"Then why the long face?"
"Fatherâs attitude towards me is a bit strange."
"Hmm?"
"He was cheerful during the day, but when he called just now, he was rather cold."
"Arenât you overthinking? Thereâs no good reason for my dad to give you the cold shoulder." Tang Wan laughed, "Maybe heâs just been too tired recently, donât read too much into it."
Jiang Jinsang kept silent, little did he know it had something to do with Huo Qinqi.
Just look at others, they know to inform their parents before registering the marriage, then look at our son-in-law, who "stole" the household registration book while another quietly eloped and registered with his daughter.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt like other peopleâs son-in-law were better.
But since so much time had passed and they even have a child, he had no reason to make trouble or harbor hidden agenda, although his tone remained somewhat chilly.
Jiang Jinsang wouldnât have expected that Huo Qinqiâs registration could impact him like this.
**
Meanwhile, on Shen Shuciâs side, after obtaining the household registration book, she informed Huo Qinqi and also told him about tomorrowâs dinner invite from his parents.
Huo Qinqi, being naturally decisive and to avoid unnecessary delays, directly said:
"Thereâs no time like the present, why not go tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow..." Shen Shuci thought that the company didnât have much going on the next day, so she agreed.
Shenâs father immediately had some regrets about handing over the household registration book, just thinking about them registering the marriage and his daughter joining another familyâs registration made him sigh leaning on the bed, but he hadnât expected Shen Shuci to knock on his door with another bombshell.
"Weâre planning to register our marriage tomorrow."
Shenâs father pulled the blanket over his head, "Iâm tired, I want to sleep."
The old lady was very pleased and enthusiastically pulled Shen Shuci to her room, organizing what she should wear to look nice while registering the marriage.
Shen Shuci still thought about sharing the news with Tang Wan, Ruan Mengxi, and others, as it was also considered a happy occasion.
But the old lady stopped her.
"Since weâll all be dining together tomorrow, itâs better to announce the good news then."
Shen Shuci nodded in agreement.
Shenâs father lay in bed thinking that having a child register their marriage was a good thing, but he couldnât shake this lingering heaviness, unaware that even heavier news awaited.
