Xuan Mo Han was silent for a long time. He felt he might have been a bit too much…
He silently wiped the corner of Jian You's mouth and then pulled her along as they left.
"Where are we going?"
"Taking you for a walk…"
She had just eaten a little too much, and did he really need to do this? More importantly… she didn't feel like moving at all…
"Carry me."
Xuan Mo Han turned his head and glanced at her. Without a word, he squatted down, his noble body lowering. Jian You smiled, a sweet smile, the curve of her lips fully unfolding, her entire demeanor softening considerably.
She stepped forward, wrapped her arms around Xuan Mo Han's neck, and climbed onto his back. The latter held her legs steadily and lifted her up.
Shafts of sunlight fell upon the couple, embracing each other in happiness. In the distance, the flowers in the bushes swayed gently, exuding a simple, unique romance.
He had only intended to help his little woman digest her meal, but Xuan Mo Han found himself unwilling to let go. It would be quite good to be like this until the end of time…
"Didn't you say we were going somewhere? Let's go."
He had carried her for so long; she was starting to feel a pang of concern.
Xuan Mo Han suddenly stopped, turned his head, his Adam's apple bobbing. "Don't you like it here?"
What? She hadn't said she disliked it. "It's quite nice here." Besides, she trusted that as Xuan Mo Han's residence, it wouldn't be anything less than excellent.
Xuan Mo Han chuckled softly. If she liked it, that was all that mattered. It had, after all, been designed for her.
Since she had suggested it, how could he refuse? Especially when it was to go to that particular place…
Treading on the pebbles by the roadside, Xuan Mo Han changed direction with Jian You, heading straight for the airport. The pilot was already waiting inside.
"President."
At Xuan Mo Han's command, the plane slowly ascended. Not long after, they reached the outskirts of the city center.
Looking at the vast airplane parking lot before her, Jian You didn't know what to say. This man's wealth was scattered everywhere…
"What's wrong, are you cold?" As he spoke, Xuan Mo Han pulled her hands into his.
Jian You smiled and shook her head. "No, I'm not cold. Let's go."
Xuan Mo Han glanced at her again, concerned. Thankfully, her attire was presentable enough; she shouldn't be cold.
He directly led the little woman beside him towards the black car parked not far away. As Xuan Mo Han escorted Jian You into the car, she realized someone was already seated inside.
"Madam."
Li An, being perceptive, changed his address, which greatly pleased Xuan Mo Han. Jian You, beside him, felt a strange sense of unease, but she quickly accepted the title. Since she had decided to be with Xuan Mo Han, she needed to adapt to such things early on.
"Mm."
This time, Xuan Mo Han was even more pleased. Unable to contain himself, he pulled the little woman sitting beside him and kissed her lips passionately.
"…"
"…"
Li An couldn't bear to watch. He silently raised the privacy partition.
Jian You's small face turned completely red. She shot a fierce glare at the instigator. How could this man be so shameless?
Xuan Mo Han seemed to be a mind reader. He chuckled lowly, "When I'm with my wife, I don't need face…"
Jian You was truly exasperated by Xuan Mo Han's rogue behavior. She simply turned her head away, refusing to look at him. Hadn't he kissed her enough on the plane?
Xuan Mo Han rubbed his nose, wisely moving closer to appease the little woman.
They continued their playful bickering along the way, and soon the car stopped. Only then did Jian You realize where they had arrived.
She turned her head, slightly stunned, and looked at the man. He had actually brought her here?
"You promised me. You can't go back on your word now."
With those words, Xuan Mo Han didn't hesitate, dragging her out of the car and pulling her hand towards the building emblazoned with the bright red characters "Civil Affairs Bureau."
After these past few days of interaction, Jian You had discovered that Xuan Mo Han seemed to lack a sense of security. He was always afraid she wouldn't agree and repeatedly sought her commitment.
She just hadn't expected him to be this quick. It wasn't as if she was unwilling, and she had already promised. What was he still worried about?
However, Xuan Mo Han's demeanor in this situation inexplicably made Jian You feel a little uncomfortable. He was a proud, privileged man; there was nothing he couldn't obtain. Yet, he had never held his noble head high in front of her. For this reason alone, she had no reason to refuse him.
Therefore, Jian You stopped him. When she stopped, Xuan Mo Han had to turn back to look at her. Seeing the questioning confusion in his eyes, Jian You broke free from his grasp and instead placed her small hand into his broad, rough one, then slowly tightened her grip.
Xuan Mo Han, no matter how much he tried to conceal it, couldn't hide his overflowing tenderness. His gaze held an intoxicatingly sweet light. He didn't rush to lead her away; instead, he walked in front of the little woman, kissed her forehead with devout gentleness, and then held her in a tight embrace.
The two bodies pressed together could feel each other's accelerated heartbeats. After a long moment, Jian You patted the man's back. "Let's go get our marriage certificate." Today, they would be legal husband and wife, sharing hardships and growing old together.
Xuan Mo Han gently nodded on Jian You's shoulder, then withdrew from the embrace he was reluctant to leave. Jian You clearly heard his parting words: "I love you."
Gazing at Xuan Mo Han's tall, straight figure, and then at their clasped hands, Jian You's smile was as sweet as it could be. She was already looking forward to their married life together.
There were no obstacles along the way. Xuan Mo Han led Jian You to the entrance, where the manager and other staff were waiting to the side. No one was inside, and the path was clear.
Although they could have quickly completed the registration, Xuan Mo Han insisted on following the process step by step. He… truly savored the process of entering into a major life event with his beloved, not wanting to miss a single moment.
Now they were having their photos taken. Without needing any prompting from the staff, Xuan Mo Han had already pulled the little woman beside him close, their posture intimate. He also rarely revealed his captivating smile in front of outsiders.
With a click, their identification photos were recorded. Just as the staff member smiled and prepared to say "Done," the camera in front of them was suddenly pushed over forcefully.
Her eyes widened as she looked up, only to see a burly man standing beside her with an unfriendly expression. Frightened, she immediately moved aside. After taking two steps, she heard a deep, pleasant voice from behind:
"No one is allowed to get married today. If anyone does, this place will cease to exist."
His voice was calm, but it made all the staff freeze. The manager hurried over with a troubled expression, and at the same time, Li An arrived with his men.
These people were clearly here with ill intentions, bringing a large group of men to cause trouble. He had never seen anyone so arrogant, daring to be so brazen in front of the President. He hadn't seen anyone like that before. But, when had they offended their President?
He hadn't heard Madam mention anything. This was also why Li An hadn't acted immediately. However, since they hadn't made a move, the leader was different. Upon arrival, he had instructed his subordinates to be unrestrained and to beat anyone they encountered. There was no other way; Li An had no choice but to grit his teeth and resist…
If you didn't look at the outcome, they were still quite imposing…
