Chapter 418: Chapter 418 - 412: Although Jing Jihan Is Highly Efficient...
Shi Su stared at him for a long time, confirming the authenticity of those two little red booklets under the man’s gaze.
But how is it possible?
How could it suddenly...
She abruptly grabbed the marriage certificate, opened it and glanced at it, instantly becoming speechless, unable to find her voice for a long time, and asked in a dream-like state, "This...this... this..."
"Hungover all night, and you can’t speak properly when you wake up?" Jing Jihan cast a very warm and caring look at her.
Shi Su’s temples throbbed for a long time; she snapped out of the great shock, checked the steel seal carefully, and said, bewildered, "Impossible, it must be fake... What time was it last night... The civil affairs bureau would have been closed..."
Jing Jihan’s voice was low and pleasant, yet the sense of realism was impossible to ignore: "Pulling some strings to get someone to work overtime shouldn’t be a hard task for me."
Shi Su: "......"
She suddenly threw the little red booklet back on the dining table: "Jing Jihan, are you tricking me into marriage?!"
The man was already sitting across from her, helping her place jam toast slices into her plate, his expression normal: "I asked if you wanted to marry, you said yes."
"When did I say that? Even if I... I... Even if I said it! I was drunk!"
"Really?" The man calmly served her a bowl of soup again: "But how do I recall some people who received the certificate last night and didn’t let me touch the marriage certificates they were cuddling and nibbling on all the way?"
Shi Su didn’t believe it. She picked up the two little red booklets and looked at them carefully again, realizing that the once pristine little booklet had indeed been faintly creased in her hand last night, though not very obvious, yet it confirmed the scene where she almost mistreated it severely.
???
!!!
How could it be like this?!
Shi Su covered her face with the two little red booklets; the immense shock nearly swallowed her whole, leaving her mind in such a chaotic state that she couldn’t string together a coherent thought.
Jing Jihan was a very competent person, but definitely not impulsive.
How could it suddenly...
Moreover, she vaguely remembered hearing from Jing Luozhou once, although Jing Jihan rarely returned to the Jing Family, due to the enormous family roots, all the descendants’ documents and household registrations couldn’t be separated, so Jing Jihan’s household registration should be at the Jing Family’s old residence, rarely needed, and certainly not casually carried around.
Yet, yesterday he smoothly took her to get the marriage certificate, indicating that before visiting the film set, he had already...
Shi Su still looked incredulously at what she held, glanced forward with her eyes, the word "marriage certificate" was right before her eyes. After staring at it for a few moments, she closed her eyes again, trying to calm herself. Only then did she slowly put the little red booklet back on the dining table, accepting this hard-to-accept reality while lifting her eyes towards Jing Jihan.
"Why?" she asked.
"Eat something first."
"I can’t eat."
She transformed from a single mother to a genuinely married woman overnight; how could she possibly eat in this situation?
The turning point in her life came too suddenly; she hadn’t mentally prepared for it at all.
The shock outweighed hunger.
"Eat a bit; after all, you drank last night." The man’s voice was low and gentle, even helping her cut the fried egg.
Shi Su looked at the breakfast in front of her and the warm milk that had long been served, hesitated for two seconds, picked up the glass, drank two sips of milk, and then took two bites of toast and fried egg.
Originally thinking of just taking a few bites of fried egg and putting it down, unexpectedly, even though Jing Jihan rarely cooked, the breakfast he made with care this time tasted so good that she was reluctant to put the chopsticks down.
Just like back then.
Promised to eat just two bites, yet ended up almost finishing her portion.
Though she chewed somewhat aggressively, and when she drank milk, she made a slurping noise. It was mainly because her breath was not smooth, and her breathing rate was much faster than usual. In the end, she heavily placed the glass back on the dining table and suddenly declared firmly: "I think I might still be drunk, haven’t truly woken up!"
Saying so, she glanced again at the small red booklets beside the dining table, quickly averting her gaze, lifting her hand to messily comb her hair, getting up, taking her bag, and heading out: "I’m going to the studio to clear my head and bid farewell!"
Jing Jihan rose to follow: "I’ll drive you."
"No need! I’ll go myself! I just haven’t sobered up yet; there’s no need to play it so real! In a while, in a while, I’ll wake up!" Shi Su resolutely raised her hand to refuse, quickly changed her shoes, assumed a "the road’s grand, let’s each go our own way" demeanor, and decisively opened the door, rushing out, not looking back, as if fearing that looking back would make it all real.
Jing Jihan glimpsed her forcibly placing herself in a dreamlike state, couldn’t help but sigh in laughter, and didn’t force her. After seeing Shi Su’s dazed expression in the elevator, he picked up his phone and called Zhou He nearby, asking him to take Shi Su to the studio first, to prevent her from dazing while waiting for the car and encountering any unknown situations.
...
As Jing Jihan anticipated, Shi Su indeed felt muddled. Once she got off the car at the studio, she forgot to thank Zhou He, dazedly entering Wanxing Building.
Inside the studio, Lin Chen and Chujun were gathered in Jun’s office for a meeting.
"Why is someone recently focusing again on Shi Su and the child issue, whether her husband has ever appeared, what relation these people have with her? Again digging up those fabricated scandals about her, going over them endlessly!" Chujun said while tossing her phone on the table, the screen that had displayed the Weibo page went dark instantly.
"Shi Su received too many enviable resources over the past two years. She indeed doesn’t have any scandals. Can’t find any attack points on her; just bringing up those fabricated past events to grab attention, essentially wanting her to lose some commercial resources," Miss Chen said while looking at the fabricated content on Weibo. "However, with this clamor, the media is now even more curious about Mianmian. There will be more paparazzi near the kindergarten, especially regarding Shi Su’s personal life."
"Currently, the focus is whether Shi Su is truly married, how the child came to be, whether her initial statement had evidence, a variety of questions accumulating, and now the speculation about the child’s origin is the big issue. Despite Shi Su claiming to be married publicly, in two years, no one has truly seen the child’s father..."
——The office door suddenly swung open, and the event’s female protagonist walked in, looking as if she were sleepwalking.
Not only did she look like she was sleepwalking, but Shi Su even directly grabbed the cup on the coffee table after entering the room, gulping down the cooled tea without saying a word.
