Chapter 467: Chapter 467

Bringing Qiao Xi here, Shen Dang certainly had other ideas.

The whole amusement park was vast, and it was impossible to see it all in one afternoon. Shen Dang took Qiao Xi to several key areas, and finally, holding her hand, they arrived at a large artificial lake reflecting the blue sky and white clouds.

Shen Dang looked into the distance, "There will be all kinds of performances here every day, both during the day and at night."

"I really want to see it."

Qiao Xi was full of anticipation.

Shen Dang’s deep peach blossom eyes turned to her, "Xixi, do you want to have our wedding in China or abroad?"

His question was somewhat abrupt.

Qiao Xi had forgotten that she and Shen Dang had a wedding to plan.

When they registered their marriage, it was very hasty. Other than a villa under her name, Qiao Xi had nothing.

Of course, she didn’t want anything since their union was just an alliance.

But given her current relationship with Shen Dang, registering their marriage and having a wedding were indispensable next steps.

Now that happiness was within reach, Qiao Xi naturally felt different about it; she still had expectations for the wedding.

But wasn’t he asking too early?

Qiao Xi couldn’t help but smile, "I’m starting shooting for a drama in a week; it will take up to half a year to finish, and then it will be near the end of the year. You’re asking me now, and I don’t know how to answer you."

Her eyes and brows were tinged with laughter, her delicate features appearing very gentle.

Qiao Xi went on to say, "Besides, we haven’t even obtained our marriage certificate yet."

Why was he asking about the wedding all of a sudden?

Shen Dang was playing with her braided hair, his eyes becoming even deeper, "The Civil Affairs Bureau hasn’t closed yet."

Qiao Xi took in Shen Dang’s features.

He was indeed serious.

Shen Dang was not joking.

At this point, getting a certificate or not made no difference.

"Is there still time now?"

It was Shen Dang’s turn to be stunned.

Qiao Xi spoke her thoughts, "My household registration book is at Four Seasons Cloud Top, and yours is probably at the Shen Family’s home, right? If we go back and forth and then head to the Civil Affairs Bureau, we don’t know if the staff will have left for the day."

What Shen Dang had tried to keep calm in his eyes began to swell with emotions due to her words, and something seemed to break through in his gaze.

Light instantly burst forth from his eyes, as if to scorch Qiao Xi.

"My household registration book isn’t at the Shen Family’s home."

Qiao Xi followed his lead, "Then where is it?"

"At Four Seasons Cloud Top."

This cunning man must have premeditated it, right?

Shen Dang’s eyes were blatantly honest, "When I was planning the proposal, I already thought about getting our marriage certificate, so I asked Madam Shen to bring the household registration book over."

Qiao Xi looked at the sign of the Civil Affairs Bureau, not quite understanding how things had progressed to this step.

Since when had she and Shen Dang become so proactive?

Shen Dang unbuckled his seatbelt, his eyes gleaming with a laughter-filled purpose as he gazed at her, "Got cold feet coming here?"

Qiao Xi looked at Shen Dang, "...I certainly did not."

If she had second thoughts, she wouldn’t have come here with Shen Dang.

She had had the chance to ask him to turn back all along the way.

Yet, she had not spoken up.

She was just a bit surprised that she and Shen Dang had really made it here.

It was sudden and unexpected, yet it also seemed just right.

Shen Dang lazily smiled, his charming smile emerging again as he leaned forward to help Qiao Xi unbuckle her seatbelt.

With a "click," Qiao Xi’s heart also fluttered slightly.

Shen Dang got out of the car, and Qiao Xi followed suit.

The weather was great today, with clouds like cotton candy dotting the blue sky—quite beautiful.

Shen Dang extended his hand, tilting his chin as a gesture towards her.

Qiao Xi glanced at him and placed her hand in his palm.

Shen Dang assertively interlaced their fingers tightly.

The two of them headed towards the Civil Affairs Bureau without looking back.

This was Qiao Xi’s third visit here.

Her first experience had not been pleasant; she had locked herself in a cage, struggling to break free for a long time.

The second time, she divorced Shen Dang, finally escaping the shackles of the cage.

The third time, she was here for the stirrings of her own heart.

Now, she and Shen Dang had naturally come together, achieving their destined union.

Qiao Xi was no stranger to the Civil Affairs Bureau.

The whole process didn’t take too long. Within fifteen minutes or so, Shen Dang and Qiao Xi walked away with their brand-new marriage certificates.

Stepping out of the Civil Affairs Bureau, Qiao Xi looked up at the distant sky, still not quite grasping the situation. She and Shen Dang had just registered their marriage?

She was inexplicably excited.

The marriage certificate in her hand was suddenly pulled away.

Qiao Xi turned her head, her smile flattening at her lips, "What are you doing?"

"Send it to me after."

Shen Dang raised an eyebrow, "Okay."

After taking the photo, Shen Dang stuffed both marriage certificates into his jacket pocket, "I’ll keep the marriage certificates."

"Why should you?" Qiao Xi protested, "One of the marriage certificates is mine."

"Now there’s no need to separate ’yours’ and ’mine.’"

Shen Dang spoke with a relaxed smile, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

His words seemed right, but why was he the one to keep them?

"We should make an official announcement after getting the marriage certificate, right?"

Although Shen Dang posed the question, he didn’t seem to be asking for confirmation.

Of course, they should make an official announcement.

Was there any doubt or hesitation needed for this?

Their pace was truly swift. Qiao Xi met Shen Dang’s eyes, hesitantly saying, "...perhaps we don’t have to."

Shen Dang’s eyes instantly narrowed, "Don’t have to?"

"It’s not the first time we’ve gotten a marriage certificate."

"Exactly because it’s not the first time we need to make an official announcement. The past doesn’t count; it’s the future that we should live for." Google seaʀᴄh ɴovel(ꜰ)ɪre.nᴇt

He reasoned with conviction.

Shen Dang grew slightly somber, displeased, "Don’t you want to announce me publicly?"

Qiao Xi laughed at his words, "Is there anyone left who doesn’t know you are mine? We’ve been on shows together."

His remark was amusing.

The cunning man wanted to play aggrieved in front of her.

She was not buying it!

Shen Dang stroked her head, "All that doesn’t count, only the marriage certificate does. The marriage certificate is the one protected by law."

Qiao Xi was at a loss for how to deal with him.

Then Shen Dang was finally satisfied, "Let’s make the official announcement together."

Once again, Qiao Xi responded, "Okay."

Shen Dang loved to show off their affection on Weibo, and he immediately posted their marriage certificate online.

After posting it, Shen Dang urged Qiao Xi, "Did you make the official announcement?"

Qiao Xi gave him a playful glare, "What’s the rush?"

Shen Dang leaned in nosily to look at Qiao Xi’s phone, and he saw that she was editing text.

Qiao Xi didn’t want him to see and moved the phone away, "You’ll see in a bit; I can’t keep editing with you watching me ."

Shen Dang settled back in his seat, but his eyes still clung to Qiao Xi, unwilling to look away even for a moment.

His wife was beautiful in every way, like a little fairy.

Seeing Shen Dang relax, Qiao Xi was in no hurry to make the official announcement either. She saved the draft and then took a look at what Shen Dang had posted.
