Chapter 235: In The Future, Youll Be Mrs. Lu (1/2)

Lu Chenzhou’s disapproval was clearly evident from his tone. “I haven’t even proposed to you yet.”

Everyone made a 囧 face again. The bureau workers all laughed and said, “It’s alright! You can still propose to your girlfriend after getting a marriage license, and then focus on preparing for your wedding ceremony.”

But the main reason why Cheng Xi had come here with Lu Chenzhou today was because she wanted to get the marriage over and done with! He was making the whole affair too complicated for their own good. But if they said something like that to him, then what were her actions worth?!

Unfortunately for her, Lu Chenzhou seemed to be very interested, and he asked back, “That’s possible?”

“Of course! Most people get their marriage license first before actually dealing with the wedding.”

“Don’t you need to propose first still?”

The bureau employee looked at Lu Chenzhou, and then back at Cheng Xi. She tried to hide her smile as she teasingly replied, “You’re so handsome that I’m sure that your girlfriend will want to marry you even if you don’t propose to her.”

Cheng Xi’s face became even more exaggerated. Now they were making it look like she was rushing into marriage because she had been enticed by his looks!

And Lu Chenzhou actually turned to Cheng Xi and asked, “Is that true?”

Cheng Xi was slightly worried that he might actually leave if she responded incorrectly, so she could only reply, “It’s true. You’re handsome, so you can do whatever you want.”

Lu Chenzhou pursed his lips and relaxed into a satisfied smile. He took the proffered pen and filled in the marriage license, signed his name, and even politely thanked the employees for their efforts.

He was handsome, well-dressed, and had excellent manners. So when he thanked everyone, the female employees all blushed. The vice-deputy chief was even somewhat worried, and asked Cheng Xi while the groom was occupied with the other employees, “Dr. Cheng, your husband isn’t an ordinary man, is he? After your marriage, will he be okay with you staying here?”

When Cheng Xi had suddenly called in the morning, told him that she wanted a marriage license, and then asked what documents she would need, the vice-deputy chief had secretly thought that a local handsome lad had managed to catch Cheng Xi’s heart and lay claim to this spectacular Dr. Cheng. Wouldn’t it be great if her temporary relocation became permanent?

But when the two of them finally showed up, his heart went cold. Cheng Xi’s soon-to-be groom didn’t look like a local at all, and he was clearly far more than just an ordinary man. Wouldn’t this sort of person drag Cheng Xi away from her before too long?

And if Cheng Xi left too quickly, then what would happen to all the work that they had done over here?

The vice-deputy chief was truly worried about the future of the organization that she was championing.

Cheng Xi clearly understood what was plaguing his mind, and she smiled and preemptively said, “Don’t worry. I won’t discard this project halfway.”

Upon hearing this, the vice-deputy chief finally relaxed and earnestly wished the both of them well. With his help, Cheng Xi and Lu Chenzhou’s submission process went very smoothly. And as they left, Cheng Xi even invited him to have dinner at her place that night. Mr. Lu was sitting in the driver’s seat, and when he heard her extend this invitation, his joyous mood dimmed slightly. “Why do we have to invite other people to dinner?”

When he asked that question, he still didn’t know that Cheng Xi had already invited the head nurse, Ceng Xing, her new colleagues, and the new students that had just arrived to dinner. In his mind, this was the perfect opportunity to spend more alone time with her alone and enjoy the process of truly incorporating another person into one’s life.

Cheng Xi looked at the vice-deputy chief’s back, and started sweating as she was afraid that Lu Chenzhou would say another shocking statement. She quickly hugged him and kissed him on the lips to distract him. “A wedding celebration, of course. Neither of our families are here, so if we invite them over, then we can get some red packets.”

Lu Chenzhou glared at her suspiciously. “Do you not have enough money?”

“......No! But we have to receive some blessings for our wedding, don’t we?” Cheng Xi racked her brains hard for another way to mislead him. “It’s traditional to get other people’s blessings when you get married. Why else would everyone have extremely complicated marriage ceremonies that require months of preparation? It’s all done to receive everyone’s blessings, so that the couple will then live together blissfully and forever.”

Lu Chenzhou blinked. “Really?”

“Really!”

Lu Chenzhou smiled. “Even though I know that you’re speaking nonsense with a serious face, it’s still quite pleasant to listen to.”

“......”
