Chapter 524: Chapter 519: Who is the First Couple to Get Married? Chapter 524: Chapter 519: Who is the First Couple to Get Married? “If you don’t trust me, we might as well get married at the end of the year,”

Yu Hang realized there was a problem with his words as soon as he spoke them, so before Zhu Jin could frown and speak up, he hurriedly corrected himself, “What I mean is, we’re going to get married anyway, so it doesn’t make a difference whether it’s sooner or later, right?”

Zhu Jin snorted coldly, “Is it the same? You think I don’t trust you? When have I ever not trusted you? How am I not trusting you?”

Yu Hang felt somewhat helpless inside; this girl was great in every way but just too sensitive, always misunderstanding his intentions.

His eyes darted around, and this time, instead of arguing with her, he said, “If we get married at the end of the year, think about it, wouldn’t we be the first ones among our classmates to tie the knot? Even Jiang Yan and Jiajia would have to line up behind us.”

Zhu Jin’s attention was indeed diverted by these words, and she nodded, “Jiajia mentioned before that her mom wants them to get married after they graduate from their master’s programs.”

Yu Hang clapped his hands excitedly, “Well, that settles it. Look, we’re finally one step ahead of them. I’ll call my dad later and have him talk to your parents.”

Actually, even before their graduation, both sets of parents had already brought up the topic of marriage. Yunzhou wasn’t big, and the parents knew each other from before. Knowing that their children were dating, the interactions grew even more frequent.

In such circumstances, it was very easy to be pushed into marriage upon graduation.

Zhu Jin called the waiter in to clear away the dishes and closed the door; just as she reached the couch, Yu Hang embraced her.

“…I haven’t showered yet.”

“Then hurry up; I’ll wait for you.”

Zhu Jin’s face flushed a shade of red, and she took her pajamas and went to the bathroom. But by the time she finished and came out, Yu Hang was already lying in bed asleep.

After a week of not eating or sleeping well, only he could be so audacious. Anyone else would probably have been scared for life.

…

After staying in Jade City for two days, on the third day Jiang Yan and Mu Jiawen set off for Beijing early after breakfast.

“Uncle Meng came yesterday and took the things for you, and also be careful driving, fill up the tank before you set off…”

Jiang Fengwei was busy packing things for them while rambling on with his reminders.

As they were about to get into the car, he hesitated and then asked, “That card, Jiajia, the one Uncle Meng gave you, can I really accept it?”

That night, after they left the Yu Family’s old mansion, knowing that Jiang Fengwei lived not far outside the old city, Uncle Meng had given him a black card that allowed free entry to the old city, just like the one Mu Jiawen had with ‘Yu’ on it.

There was no time limit; it could be used anytime.

Jiang Fengwei felt like this card was really impressive, but he could only keep it if Jiajia agreed.

So at first, he declined, but Uncle Meng insisted on putting it into his hands when they left the old mansion, so he had no choice but to bring it back.

“It doesn’t matter; just keep it,”

Jiang Yan hadn’t told his father that they were going to register their marriage the next day because his mother-in-law had said it was better to keep it a secret from as many people as possible, and they would announce it next year.

The next morning when they left, they both dressed formally, in matching white shirts; Jiang Yan wore black casual pants, while Mu Jiawen wore a black skirt embroidered with golden osmanthus flowers. Standing together, they were a pleasure to the eye.

As they came down from the second floor, Yu Ci, who was talking to Mu Chenyan, first glanced at them, then paused, looked back at them again, and examined them from head to toe several times, unable to refrain from pursing his lips, “Are you trying to let everyone know you’re a couple? Why are you dressed like this, where are you going?”

Mu Chenyan glanced at him, “What’s it to you where they’re going? But you, you should really clear things up with Kerna. If you’re okay with her, say so. If not, then not. Stop dragging your feet.”

Yu Ci complained, “Am I the one dragging my feet? She’s the one who won’t leave.”

Even as he spoke, there was a hint of smugness in his brow.

Jiang Yan advised him, “Third brother, no matter what, she is still a girl. You’d better know where to draw the line.”

Mu Jiawen nodded, “Exactly. Otherwise, you’ll end up ‘chasing wife to the crematorium’ and regret won’t do you any good.”

The smile on Yu Ci’s face froze, and he glared at them, “What do you mean ‘know where to draw the line,’ what ‘chasing wife to the crematorium’? What nonsense is that? If you’re heading out, then just go, don’t stick around here being an eyesore.”

Mu Chenyan gave him a cool glance, then looked at Jiang Yan and Mu Jiawen, “Did you bring everything you need?”

Both nodded their heads.

Mu Chenyan nodded as well and urged, “Then hurry up, it’s best if you can get it done before ten o’clock.”

Yu Ci listened in confusion—why was there a time limit for going out in matching outfits?

What exactly are they up to?

He was curious and wanted to ask, but just then, the cellphone on the coffee table “bleated” to life. Glancing at the caller ID, he quickly picked it up and went out to the yard.

By the time he returned from the call, the house was empty.

“Mom?”

No one answered.

Yu Ci couldn’t help but be surprised, had his mother gone out with the two of them?

…

Mu Chenyan indeed accompanied the two to the civil affairs office.

In the legal sense, it’s not until the marriage certificate is obtained that two people are truly married, although domestically more emphasis is placed on the ceremony. The saying that a family shouldn’t hold two happy events within a year refers to the ceremony as well.

But Mu Jiawen’s certificate ceremony was something Mu Chenyan had to attend. She had said she wouldn’t miss any significant event in her daughter’s life again.

The process was simple: take a photo, wait for the picture, and then, with the civil affairs officer’s methodical actions, receive two little red booklets with a heart full of excitement.

“The bride is really beautiful,” said the staff member, a woman of about thirty, who couldn’t help but keep glancing at Mu Jiawen’s face during the process. Now that the red booklets were issued, she couldn’t help but express her admiration.

“Thank you.”

Mu Chenyan placed the prepared wedding candies on the staff member’s desk, smiling and thanking her.

Afterward, the three of them exited the civil affairs office.

The two looked at the marriage certificates over and over again, then looked up at each other and shared a smile.

Now they were finally truly husband and wife.

“Alright, stop grinning like fools. Aren’t we going on a trip? Let’s go. I’ll keep the marriage certificates for now, come get them from me when we’re back.”

Mu Chenyan took the two red booklets, unable to resist opening them for another look.

Even in an ID photo, her Xiaosi was strikingly beautiful!

The things they needed to bring had been put in the trunk early that morning, ready to leave at a moment’s notice.

Before leaving in the car, Mu Chenyan pulled Mu Jiawen aside and whispered a reminder, “You’re still young, not suitable for having children, so… be careful, you know?”

At first, Mu Jiawen was clueless, blankly staring at her mom. A few seconds later, when she understood the implication, her face flushed bright red.

She blinked and replied softly, “I know.”

After saying this, she added “I’m not a kid, how could I not understand something like this?”

“You sure you understand?” Mu Chenyan poked her forehead, “All your smarts are used elsewhere, yet you understand… Alright, hurry up and go, but be mindful of moderation, you hear?”

Moderation?

Mu Jiawen was a bit puzzled in her heart—how exactly was she to grasp this moderation?
