Chapter 438 - Overflowing Love (2/2)

“Yes.”

“At this time of great happiness, I would like to ask both of you a solemn question. May I know if you come here to marry willingly?”

Li Beinian paused on hearing this question. She turned to look at Mu Xichen.

He gave her a sidelong glance and narrowed his sharp and beautiful phoenix eyes, then replied calmly, “Yes.”

The certificate issuer looked at Li Beinian and asked again, “Miss Li Beinian, may I know if you marry Mu Xichen out of your own willingness?”

“Uh-huh, yes.” She nodded, and, as though to further affirm this, she nodded again and said, “Yes.”

Mu Xichen’s tensed expression relaxed. He turned his gaze downward, reached out, and took her hand resting on her knee.

As his slightly rough palm gently caressed her hand, Li Beinian’s heart stirred.

This wasn’t a very common situation for the certificate issuer to observe. He glanced at them and continued with the process. “The married life that awaits you from this day forward is the start of new happiness. But there will also be many challenges. I hope that no matter what difficulties and dangerous situations you may face in your life together from now on, you will walk through them hand in hand, that you will tolerate and support each other. Will you be able to do that?”

“Yes.”

They replied in unison.

The certificate issuer finally declared, “Your registration conditions meet the legal requirements. I officially pronounce you lawful man and wife.”

As he held their marriage certificates, Li Beinian noted that they were still warm from the print as she took them from him.

She unrolled the scroll. In the photograph, Mu Xichen was holding her, and his expression was subtle. However, there was an unmistakable hint of a smile on his faintly upturned lips.

While her face had a scarlet glow, full of… er… overflowing love.

Her face heated up, but she mumbled, “How did the picture turn out like this.”

“Let’s take another one with you holding your certificates,” the photographer said, holding up his camera.

Mu Xichen lowered his head to look at her and then put his arm around her shoulder.

She hurriedly held up her marriage certificate, tilting it at an angle so that it touched his certificate.

“3, 2, 1… Smile…”
