323 Reunion 18 (1/2)

Mei Yangyang chuckled. ”That's true.”

After receiving their newly-minted marriage certificate, which came in a red booklet, they skipped out of the Civil Administration Office merrily, beaming with joy.

Staring at the marriage certificate while riding in the passenger seat, Mei Yangyang groused, ”We're husband and wife now, but you didn't even propose to me. In fact, I was the one who brought up the idea of getting married. Now that I think about it, we really got married rather casually. It almost seems like I was really desperate to marry you.”

”I didn't propose to you but I asked for you to love me. Although we registered our marriage in advance, I will still prepare a marriage proposal for you. There'll be a ring and a house, as well as a wedding gown. Let's decide on those together. Oh, and let's not forget the bridal shoot. We have to get our wedding photos taken.”

Mei Yangyang nodded in agreement. ”Alright, I'm really looking forward to our little family.”

”I look forward to being able to enjoy the meals you cook every day too. From today onwards, we'll be a married couple. I'm your husband and you're my wife,” said Long Tianze, giving her a kiss on her forehead.

Mei Yangyang grabbed his hand tightly as they held each other's gazes with a look of bliss and happiness in their eyes.

”Let's buy a house now. Which estate do you wish to live in?”

”I don't have a preference. It doesn't matter which estate. You decide.”

”Why don't we pick a house in Wei Ni Estate? That estate belongs to Qingyan, and there are a few villas that are currently unoccupied. The one opposite his is very beautiful. It just happens to be near him too. Let's get that for our bridal chamber,” Long Tianze suggested.

”Sure,” Mei Yangyang agreed.

”Let's go, I'll bring you to have a look.”

Long Tianze drove her to Wei Ni Estate, and Jin Qingyan happened to be at home.

Jin Qingyan was surprised to hear that Long Tianze was interested in purchasing the villa opposite him. ”Why do you need such a large villa when you'll be living alone?”

”Who said I'll be alone? My wife and future kids are going to be living with me.”

”Are you going to make it your bridal chamber?”

”Ta-da! Look, it's my marriage certificate! Yangyang and I just registered our marriage.”

Greatly taken aback, Jin Qingyan grabbed the marriage certificate from Long Tianze and took a look to discover that it was really the case. ”Did your parents agree to let you get married?” he asked.

”They don't know yet.”

”How did you get married then?”

”I stole the household register. I'll just return it to my mother later. Your buddy is a married man now. Do you think you could help me settle into a love nest?” Long Tianze asked gleefully.

”Tell him all the passwords to the villa opposite,” Jin Qingyan instructed Fan Shixin.

”Alright. Please wait a minute, Mr. Long. Let me go get the file records.”

”Alright. How much does the villa cost? I'll transfer the sum to your bank account later,” Long Tianze asked.

”You should know the market prices. Someone once offered me a price of 90 million dollars, but I rejected it. Well, since it's you, I'll sell it to you at half-price. You may just give me 40 million dollars.”

Grinning widely from ear to ear, Long Tianze stepped forward to give Jin Qingyan a pat on his shoulder and said, ”That's what I call a good buddy whom I grew up with.”

”The decor in the villa is rather basic and simple. You may renovate it properly after coming up with a nice sketch. I'm sure it'll look beautiful.”

”Sure. I'll go have a look with my wife then.”

”Alright, go ahead.”

Long Tianze held Mei Yangyang's hand and followed Fan Shixin to the villa opposite.

The villa was rather spacious, and there was a garden in the yard that was large enough for cultivating some vegetables. After taking a look around the house, Mei Yangyang began to imagine her ideal interior design. ”Hubby, shall we renovate it according to a nautical theme?”

Long Tianze lit up in joy upon hearing her call him ”Hubby,” which was just like music to his ears. ”Honey, you call the shots from now on. We'll go with your decisions.”
