Chapter 637: 637、The Certificate (1/2)

The certificate was warm to the touch the moment it got reeled out of the printer. Old Mrs. Huo was so overjoyed that her eyes were wet. “Now for the wedding…” Her words rang in sharp whispers, both excited and impatient.

“Chen, it’s time for you to report for duty at the camp. Take care of that top secret mission quickly and marry Wen He home!” Urged the old lady as she took out a pair of engagement rings, “Take good care of your wife from now on!”

“Yes, mother,” said Huo Chen with the case in his hands while putting on a bright and plastic smile.

“What are you two waiting for? Put in on! I know you two aren’t officially married yet but at least these pair of rings could fulfill you youngsters’ need of declaring ownership!” The old lady chuckled, having the urge of putting on the rings for them. The old and classic music of marriage rang in rhythm in their heads under an old witness. Huo Chen took out the ring while Wen He reached out her right hand with her ring finger lifted. She bit her lip and smiled wryly at Huo Chen.

It was a bizarre experience to exchange rings at the bureau lobby, especially when they had an audience behind them.

There were not many people in the marriage registry but everybody was looking at them endearingly as Huo Chen suddenly held Wen He’s wrist gently. He imagined how Zhaoyang was standing before him instead.

His mind slowly wandered away to a different tale where Zhaoyang was the woman he was going to marry instead.

But his dream broke down immediately after.

It was never Yang Yang. It was Wen He. That was the reality as the silvery light of their engagement ring shone glaringly under the lamp. The circle of bond rested on her slender finger finely like a loop of light—a perfect fit.

Wen He, in return, also picked the ring from Huo Chen’s case. Her heart raced as she looked into the eyes of her man.

What the hell is going on?! We are just faking it, aren’t we?

It’s not real! Wen He, wake up! Calm down!

Wen He convinced herself in her mind even though the B5-sized certificate had stated the truth. Therefore, she was confused.

The bond between them was sealed the moment the special men’s ring slid through Huo Chen’s boney ring finger.
