Married to Officer, Pregnant Specialist becomes the Winner!-Chapter 22: We’ve Gotten Our Marriage Certificate
As for the others, Sheng Zexi said he wanted them all, especially the solo photos of Gu Jia Ning and the couple photos, which he solemnly placed in his wallet right in front of Gu Jia Ning.
Watching the way the man cherished them so carefully.
Gu Jia Ning couldn’t help but recall her past life, when she and Wen Zhqing registered their marriage and also took photos.
But Wen Zhqing didn’t care much and just casually took a photo.
At that time, Gu Jia Ning was immersed in the joy of getting married and didn’t notice.
Now, comparing Sheng Zexi with him, it’s immediately clear what the difference between true feelings and false intentions is.
Sheng Zexi carefully put away the photos and looked up to see the little girl staring at him, her gaze a bit peculiar.
She couldn’t help but reach out and tap Gu Jia Ning on the head, "What are you looking at, such a strange look in your eyes."
Just now, the little girl’s gaze was too peculiar, so peculiar it was hard to describe, seeming a bit sad yet somehow relieved and joyful.
Sheng Zexi couldn’t interpret it, but that look flashed away quickly, so fast that he almost thought he was mistaken.
Gu Jia Ning covered her head with both hands, her delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly, her red lips pouting, "Why did you hit me, it hurts."
Actually, Sheng Zexi was gentle, not hard, but Gu Jia Ning inexplicably just wanted to act spoiled and feign grievance.
She just wanted to see if Sheng Zexi would feel sorry for her.
Sure enough, as soon as she said it, Sheng Zexi frowned, worry creeping into his eyes, and leaned over to move her hands away.
"Does it really hurt? Let me see."
"I shouldn’t have hit you."
Gu Jia Ning was smug, that’s right, it should be like this, but the next second, the man’s deep magnetic voice came from above her head.
"You’re already pretty silly, if I hit you again, wouldn’t you get even sillier? Then I’d be marrying a silly wife."
"Sheng Zexi!" Gu Jia Ning raised her small fist as if to hit him, threatening, "Be careful or I won’t register our marriage with you."
Sheng Zexi seemed instantly hit where it hurts, didn’t dodge, instead, a chuckle mingled with helplessness spread across his features, raising his hands, "Alright, alright, I surrender, I spoke out of turn, my fiancée, please be the bigger person and forgive me."
Then, sneaking closer, he added, "Next time I see some pretty clothes, hairpins, or jewelry, I’ll buy them all for you."
He knew this little girl loved beauty and all sorts of pretty things.
Gu Jia Ning softly huffed, gave him a playful glare that made his heart race, "That’s more like it."
Gu Jia Ning was appeased, she hadn’t really been angry.
Just thought Sheng Zexi’s mouth was really quite bold, quite sharp.
However, she didn’t ask him to change.
In this life, Gu Jia Ning actually saw a lot clearly.
She felt that sometimes, rather than pointing out someone’s faults, it’s better to understand why someone became that way.
Was Sheng Zexi inherently sharp-tongued?
Of course not.
Gu Jia Ning vaguely felt that maybe it was related to his family background.
But these she’d say later when she met other Gu Family members.
Having taken their wedding photos, the two quickly went to the civil affairs bureau to get their marriage certificate.
At this time, the marriage certificate looked like a red certificate, very different from what it would be in the future.
But as they walked out of the civil affairs bureau with that certificate like an award, it marked the beginning of their relationship as husband and wife.
A gentle breeze blew, and time felt very pleasant at this moment.
Gu Jia Ning felt a little dazed, as if caught in an overlap of time and space.
But she quickly came back to her senses.
Sunlight fell on the man, as if adding a layer of brilliance to him.
There was no doubt Sheng Zexi was tall and handsome, and with a military uniform on, he stood there on the street where countless young girls’ eyes fell upon him, seemingly drawn by his radiance.
Gu Jia Ning thought, Sheng Zexi was someone who shone brightly, both in the past and in this life.
And the light he emitted had always fallen on her, past and present, giving her enough warmth and love.
Gu Jia Ning silently said in her heart: Sheng Zexi, I’ll be good to you. In this life, we will definitely have a good life together.
After getting their certificate, Sheng Zexi took Gu Jia Ning to the hotel to pick up Grandpa and Grandma Sang to have a meal at the state-run restaurant.
The two old folks planned to stay at the hotel until after Sheng Zexi and Gu Jia Ning’s wedding banquet before returning home.
Actually, they originally couldn’t stay that long, especially since the country’s weapons research institute needed Grandpa Sang back.
But Grandpa Sang said he hadn’t taken all his accumulated annual leave over the years yet.
In the past, he didn’t care much about taking leave.
Grandpa Sang was also quite devoted to his research.
But now, as his grandson was finally getting married, he certainly wanted to stay with his wife and attend before leaving.
Since Grandpa Sang decided so, the institute couldn’t really rush him, after all, he had the right, though due to his special status, additional people were secretly assigned to protect him.
The two elders were very happy to know they’d gotten their certificate, calling "Ningning" repeatedly, showing great affection for Gu Jia Ning.
Watching the harmonious interaction among the three, Sheng Zexi’s eyes also took on a gentle smile.
After lunch, having sent the two elders back to the hotel, Sheng Zexi then took Gu Jia Ning back to Huaihua Village.
Though, this guy took their big red award-like marriage certificate with him.
"This should be kept by me."
Gu Jia Ning had no objections, they were married, who kept it didn’t really matter.
Sheng Zexi’s eyes fixed on Gu Jia Ning, he couldn’t help but reach out, softly tucking her hair behind her ear, almost as if in reflection he said, "Ningning, did you know, there was a time I thought I’d be alone for life."
Gu Jia Ning remained silent, somehow feeling that Sheng Zexi was a bit melancholy at this moment.
Like a porcupine that had always been prickly, sticking everywhere it went, full of cautiousness with anyone.
A foolish porcupine not knowing when its sharp spines prick others, it hurts itself too.
In fact, Gu Jia Ning could sense that Sheng Zexi had always been very guarded.
But by some coincidence, she happened to walk into that porcupine’s heart, rooting herself there.
Even in her previous life, realizing she was Sheng Zexi’s profound affection, she wondered what qualities she possessed to attract him.
She was pretty, good-looking indeed, but Gu Jia Ning knew, those weren’t what Sheng Zexi valued most.
And this time, the porcupine before her showing sadness seemed to retract its sharp spines in her presence, revealing its soft belly, yearning for her touch.
The gentle breeze carried the man’s magnetic yet earnest voice, "Until now, with you, I finally feel that I can have a partner, that the future is promising."
