The Civil Affairs Bureau!

What are we going to do at the Civil Affairs Bureau?

It can’t be to tour and look around, right?

Su Rui was startled when she heard what Gu Yu Cheng said.

“Today, you say?” Su Rui asked, evidently returning back to her senses.

Originally, Su Rui thought that based on the plans from both of them and their families, they were going to be engaged first, and then get married when she graduated.

How did Gu Yu Cheng get the unexpected idea to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau?

Moreover, the look on Gu Yu Cheng’s face at this moment did not seem to be joking at all.

“Yes, today.” Gu Yu Cheng said with certainty.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“For the marriage ceremony, let’s wait until after your graduation. Today, we will obtain the marriage certificate,” Gu Yu Cheng lowered his head and gently kissed Su Rui. He asked in a solicitous tone with a hint of anticipation, “Okay?”

Actually…

It’s not that they can’t obtain the marriage certificate since the two of them are now in a very stable relationship, and there is nothing they disagree about or that is difficult to cope with.

To quote Tang Xiao Niu’s words: It’s only a matter of time before the two of them obtain the marriage certificate.

Su Rui looked at him somewhat amusingly and asked, “But it’s already this late, isn’t it too late to go now?”

Although she hadn’t experienced it herself and hadn’t paid much attention to it before, she remembered that there would be many people there and one has to queue at the Civil Affairs Bureau to obtain the marriage certificate, and some places even require one to make an appointment?

“It’s not too late,” Gu Yu Cheng added after a pause, “I made an appointment in advance.”

“When did you ……”

“Last week.”

“But I think I still need …”

Not waiting for Su Rui to finish her sentence, Gu Yu Cheng said, “The household registration booklet, it’s here with me.”

Pfft, he has even learned to compete with others to be the first to answer the question.

After glancing at Gu Yu Cheng, Su Rui added, “But I still have to go back and get mine, right?”

Upon hearing that, Gu Yu Cheng’s lips curved into a smile and said, “It’s also here with me.”

Speaking of which, Gu Yu Cheng actually got the Su family’s household registration booklet from Father Su.

Last Thursday, when Su Rui and Mother Su went to decide on their dresses, Gu Yu Cheng accompanied Old Comrade Su at home for almost three hours of drinking, and then listened carefully to his father-in-law’s teachings before finally getting the Su family’s household registration booklet from Father Su.

Hearing Gu Yu Cheng’s words, Su Rui suddenly thought of something.

“You’re talking about that day?”

Thinking of that night when Gu Yu Cheng was obviously a bit drunk, hugging her and saying a lot of things. They were something about taking care of her, protecting her, and treating her well for the rest of her life. Currently, Su Rui still regrets that she hadn’t recorded this particular person’s manner at that time.

Hearing Gu Yu Cheng’s answer, Su Rui couldn’t help but feel that it was so.

Taking advantage of the angle from Gu Yu Cheng’s lowered head, Su Rui slightly lifted her head, nibbled on the other party’s lower lip, and feignedly glared at the other person. She asked, “Did you plan this a long time ago?”

She retracted her previous words. This person didn’t suddenly think of this!

“En,” Gu Yu Cheng nodded, kissed Su Rui’s lips, and said truthfully again, “That day and at this place, I was thinking about it when I said I wanted you to be my wife.”

It was even earlier.

After saying this, Gu Yu Cheng was not in a hurry to say anything else. He only lowered his head and pecked the woman’s lips lightly as he waited for Su Rui’s reply.

“Gu Yu Cheng.” Su Rui raised her hand and caressed the side of Gu Yu Cheng’s face. She slightly pushed the other party away, and then looked at Gu Yu Cheng with a very serious expression.

“After obtaining the marriage certificate, you would be a married man.”

Although it was just a pair of marriage certificates, the meaning between a real marriage and a romantic relationship was vastly different.

“You may need to divide a larger portion of your energy and time to juggle your family compared to before. Furthermore, you will need to shoulder the responsibility of our family, and even families from both sides.”

“And,”

Su Rui blinked her eyes, thought for a moment, and added, “The money you earn in the future will then become matrimonial assets. Also,” looking at Gu Yu Cheng, Su Rui added, “if you do anything that betrays me, it would be infidelity in a marriage.”

Su Rui’s words did not cause Gu Yu Cheng to waver at all.

Gu Yu Cheng smiled as he looked at the woman in front of him with the same seriousness.

“I know,” As Gu Yu Cheng said that, he brought the woman in front of him into his arms and added, “I will be responsible for you, for our family, and for both families.”

“I will try my best to fulfill the responsibilities of a husband, respect you, understand you, and love you.”

“Every penny I earn will go to you and after that to our children.”

“And,” After a slight pause, Gu Yu Cheng continued, “I will not do anything that will betray you. Never.”

To be honest, Su Rui was just stating the issues she had heard before or could think of.

She did not expect that Gu Yu Cheng answered so seriously word by word, like a promise, and like a confession, that made her heart inexplicably raced.

Su Rui buried her head in Gu Yu Cheng’s arms as she said softly, “Me too.”

If this man was willing to work with her to run a family and run this marriage, then similarly, she would also try to be a good wife.

Gu Yu Cheng’s gaze shifted and a gleam of surprise flashed across his eyes after hearing Su Rui’s soft response.

“You agreed?”

“En.” Su Rui nodded her head.

She pushed Gu Yu Cheng away again and said with a faint smile, “But you have to let me change my clothes and put on makeup first.”

“Eat breakfast first.” Gu Yu Cheng said with a smile.

“Okay.”

As Gu Yu Cheng said that, he carried Su Rui off the edge of the dining table and put her on a chair.
