Chapter 424: Chapter 424: Joint Performance, A Good Show

Fu Shinian raised an eyebrow and looked at Xu Yansu:

"Otherwise? Did you think I would go to the Civil Affairs Bureau with you? Don’t have such illusions. I would find it ridiculous. This is the biggest concession I can make. If you agree, we can handle the procedures now. If you think it’s inappropriate, I can leave now and never see you again."

"Leave?" Xu Yansu chuckled, "Aren’t you afraid that Su Mu will die from poison?"

"Afraid, of course I’m afraid. But if she dies from the poison and I die with her, maybe I wouldn’t feel afraid? At least I would be accompanying her in another way. Even in another world, we would be together, which is quite good."

Xu Yansu never expected Fu Shinian to say such a thing, nor did she expect that he would die for Su Mu. But marrying Fu Shinian openly had been her dream, the thing she had always wanted to achieve the most. She also wanted to walk into the Civil Affairs Bureau full of anticipation like everyone else, line up, take photos, receive the certificate, take the oath...

Although she knew that fantasies were just fantasies, not to be taken seriously, she did not expect Fu Shinian to simplify it to this extent, skipping everything.

She wanted to refuse, but she dared not. She knew that if she refused this time, she would really have no chance at all, even if the marriage procedures were extremely simplified, she would have no fate with them.

Fu Shinian had always been impatient with irrelevant people, and Xu Yansu had only been silent for a few seconds before and after, but he was already visibly impatient. He glanced at his watch and reminded:

"It’s getting late. What is your decision? Your time might not be valuable, but don’t waste mine."

Xu Yansu knew he had reached his limit of patience, and dragging it out would do her no good. Though hesitant, she ultimately nodded:

"I’ve made up my mind."

"What?"

"Let’s proceed," Xu Yansu looked at Fu Shinian, "Let’s do it your way."

Fu Shinian smiled briefly and did not speak.

Song Yi then instructed the staff:

"You two come with me over there."

He led the two staff members to the French windows, then came over and asked Fu Shinian and Xu Yansu for their IDs. As Xu Yansu handed her ID to Song Yi, she couldn’t help but express her confusion:

"Aren’t we supposed to take photos? When and where will that happen?"

Song Yi smiled slightly:

"Miss Xu need not worry, the photos are already prepared. Now, we only need the two of your IDs to complete the procedures."

"No photo taking?" Xu Yansu looked suspiciously at Fu Shinian, "Aren’t married couples supposed to have a joint photo? We don’t have one. How will the marriage certificate be handled?"

"I won’t be taking photos with you. The photos for the marriage certificate have naturally been photoshopped by people I hired." Fu Shinian, seeing Xu Yansu’s dissatisfaction, didn’t take it seriously and spoke first before she could voice her complaints: "If you find this arrangement unsatisfactory, you can call it off now. They haven’t officially started yet, everything can go according to your wishes."

Fu Shinian outwardly displayed a demeanor of not forcing his will, but in reality, he left no room for choice. She could call it off, be unhappy with his arrangements, or not marry at all, but if she said no, her lifelong dream would also vanish. So, despite the grievances and dissatisfaction, she could only endure.

Suppressing her inner discontent but still smiling outwardly, she said:

"No, I just thought the photoshopped image might not be usable and cause trouble for the staff."

Song Yi smiled slightly:

"Miss Song need not worry. The technician we hired is very skilled, and the staff won’t notice it."

After speaking, he took the documents to the staff, and Xu Yansu watched Song Yi’s retreating figure and found the scenario somehow absurd. What she had eagerly hoped for had completely changed in reality.

Within a matter of minutes, the staff handed the two marriage certificates to Xu Yansu and Fu Shinian. Fu Shinian didn’t take it, just looked at the little red book and snorted coldly. Song Yi, to save the staff from embarrassment, casually took it:

"I’ll handle it."

The staff member smiled and stepped aside.

Compared to Fu Shinian’s disdain, Xu Yansu’s reaction was one of wild joy. Even though she had many grievances before, the moment she truly received her marriage certificate with Fu Shinian, she felt an indescribable excitement, especially seeing the joint photo; it seemed like all her prayers had been answered.

This excitement made her completely ignore that the people in the photo weren’t really them, but just technologically manipulated images. However, at that moment, Xu Yansu couldn’t care less, her only thought being that she was truly married to Fu Shinian.

Disbelievingly, she took the certificate belonging to Fu Shinian from Song Yi’s hand and inspected it for a long time before slowly smiling. Song Yi, standing aside, knew well the malicious deeds Xu Yansu had committed over the years, but seeing her present appearance, he too felt she was pitiable.

Perhaps it was because she cared too much, so she began to doubt. Xu Yansu, after her initial excitement, thought of a possibility and looked at Fu Shinian:

"You brought the staff here, could it be fake?"

Fu Shinian scoffed lightly, seemingly too lazy to respond to her foolish question. At this moment, the staff promptly took out their own credentials and presented them to Xu Yansu:

"Please rest assured, we are official staff members of the Civil Affairs Bureau. Mr. Fu entrusted us to come here today to handle your documents, which are all real and valid. Now they are connected to the network. If you don’t believe, you may log into the website to check."

The conversation should have been reassuring, but Xu Yansu handed the work cards back to the staff and then said outright:

"Bring the computer. I want to check."

The staff didn’t hesitate and took out the laptop from their briefcase. Xu Yansu then thought of something: "I want to use my own computer."

"That’s fine, though our office network might be a bit troublesome to log into on your computer. But no worries, it’s just to avoid unnecessary trouble, it would be best to delete the records after you check."

"Okay, that’s fine."

Xu Yansu fetched her own laptop from the low table in the living room, one she had left there when she lived in the old house, never thinking that not only would she return here, but she would also marry Fu Shinian.

The staff logged into the internal network, then handed the computer over to Xu Yansu. She slowly entered her and Fu Shinian’s marriage certificate number and then saw their names.
