Chapter 440: Chapter 438 The Marriage Certificate of Xia and Lu_1

Listening to their conversation, Xia Ningxing looked at the bouquet in her hands, and Lu Tingli’s incomparably handsome face immediately flashed before her eyes, causing her lips to lift uncontrollably into a smile.

Calculating the time, she still had one year until she turned twenty, which was when she could register for marriage with him.

As the wedding neared its end, Xia Ningxing sent Lu Tingli a text message to ask if he was free to talk.

If not, then never mind.

The moment she sent the text, her antique phone rang almost immediately.

It was Lu Tingli calling.

Xia Ningxing answered, and immediately Lu Tingli’s deep and pleasant voice came through, "Ningxing."

Those brief two words, not only pleasant enough to make one’s ears pregnant, were also laden with profound affection and tenderness, as if stars were falling into them.

He no longer called her Baby Xing, as Xia Ningxing’s own fans had started calling her "Baby Xing," stealing his private moniker for her.

Baby Xing’s fans: Lu Tingli! Unconvinced? Come and fight!

"I’m here," Xia Ningxing immediately replied.

Speaking with him, Xia Ningxing’s voice softens instinctively, like a little hedgehog suddenly retracting its spines.

"Is your third brother’s wedding over?" Lu Tingli asked with concern.

As the prospective son-in-law, he should have attended, but his research work was at a critical juncture, and he couldn’t leave.

However, he had already sent the money for the wedding gift.

If he wasn’t present and the gift also didn’t arrive, that would have been truly improper.

Xia Ningxing shook her head slightly, "Not yet, but it’s almost over."

"Oh, by the way, Lu, I even caught the bridal bouquet!" Xia Ningxing said, clearly excited, her voice much livelier, "They say that the person who catches the bride’s bouquet will be the next bride!"

On the other end of the phone, Lu Tingli’s lips curled up as he heard her words, "Hmm, there’s only one year left until you turn twenty, and then you will be my bride."

"Yeah," Xia Ningxing nodded, then became a bit morose, "But that’s still a long time away..."

Her cheeks inevitably puffed up.

A whole year!

Over three hundred days!

It seemed interminably long!

Like an entire century!

Hearing her disheartened tone, Lu Tingli couldn’t help but laugh, "Are you that impatient to marry me?"

"I...!" Xia Ningxing’s entire face turned red with his teasing, and finally, she admitted with annoyed embarrassment, "So what if I am!"

A woman who would inherit his legacy would of course want to marry him!

Lu Tingli reassured her affectionately, "Well, it’s only natural that you’re impatient, considering you’ve been clamoring about devoting yourself to me since the age of eight!"

"!!!"

Chatting is fine, but why dig up history!

Xia Ningxing felt annoyed.

Seeing her fall silent, Lu Tingli knew she was embarrassed, so he cleared his throat and changed the subject, "Will there be a bridal chamber prank tonight?"

Xia Ningxing pondered, "There should be, I guess."

Since her third brother hadn’t told her they wouldn’t, it was likely there would be pranks.

Upon hearing this, Lu Tingli’s eyebrows furrowed at once, "Then be careful, bridesmaids often get teased the most at weddings."

Lu Tingli was recalling the vulgar news of teasing bridesmaids that he had seen unintentionally in the future.

Listening to his voice filled with concern, a warm current seemed to flow into Xia Ningxing’s heart, and she quickly reassured him, "Don’t worry, Lu, no one dares to mess with me. If there really is someone who’s blind enough to try, I’ll make sure they won’t recognize their own mother after I’m done with them."

Good!

That’s tough!

But Lu Tingli liked it!

He smiled gracefully, nodding, "Alright, hit them hard, and I’ll take the blame for anything that happens!"

After the joke passed, Xia Ningxing remembered something else, "Lu, I’m going to start filming again soon. It’s a Qing Dynasty costume drama, and the location is in the palace in Capital City."

"If I’m free, I’ll visit the set," Lu Tingli’s gentle voice said.

He would fully support her acting,

just as she was willing to endure the separation to support his scientific research.

Xia Ningxing thought he had misunderstood her and quickly said, "No, no, no, Lu, I didn’t tell you the location so you’d visit the set. I just mentioned it casually. Your work is the most important. You shouldn’t neglect your research because of me."

"It’s fine,"

Lu Tingli responded with two words.

"Bao’er! Come quick! It’s time for photos!"

At that moment, Mrs. Xia called out to Xia Ningxing.

Xia Ningxing turned her head and saw everyone was taking a group photo with the bride.

Now, they were only waiting for her, and everyone was waving at her.

"Coming!" With no other choice, Xia Ningxing could only reluctantly hang up the phone with Lu Tingli.

"Lu, I’m going to take photos, we can chat when we’re free."

"Alright."

After she had hung up, Lu Tingli put down his phone.

Then, his dark, alluring eyes looked at the pen and paper beside him, and with his lips slightly upturned, as if thinking about something, he began to draw.

...

After Pianpian and Ruanruan’s wedding ended, Xia Ningxing started to pack her things, getting ready to join the crew and film.

The day before she left, she received a letter.

The sender was Lu.

"Why write a letter?" Xia Ningxing was taken aback upon receiving it.

Considering the popularity of beepers, cell phones, and home telephones, writing letters had become a seldom-used form of communication.

It had been a long time since she and the magnate had written to each other.

So at first glance, Xia Ningxing felt an indescribable sense of anticipation.

She was eager to read the contents of the letter, but fearful of tearing it, she carefully tore open the envelope little by little.

When she finally opened it, Xia Ningxing realized that it wasn’t a letter inside, but a painting!!

No, to be more precise, it was a hand-drawn marriage certificate!

In the spot for the photos, there were two remarkably lifelike chibi figures, one was her, and the other was him.

They were even wearing couples’ outfits.

The two little figures leaned close to each other, smiling blissfully and sweetly.

Below, there was even a stamp, as well as some of the text you would expect to find on a marriage certificate.

It must be said, this fake certificate was truly quite convincing!

Xia Ningxing was instantly speechless:

Holding this "false certificate," she found herself laughing uncontrollably, her heart as if filled with a large jar of honey.

She knew why the magnate had drawn a marriage certificate for her.

Because she wanted to marry him but wasn’t old enough to get a real marriage certificate, so he simply drew one himself to fulfill her wish in advance.

Lu, how could he be so good!

Xia Ningxing couldn’t help but roll around on the bed, biting her pillow, her eyes uncontrollably reddening.

Then, she quickly found a beautiful, delicate box, and carefully placed the "false certificate" inside.

Finally, she locked it away in a safe.

"Lu, I have received the marriage certificate! I love it so much! Heart!"

Xia Ningxing glanced at the time and, not wanting to interrupt his work with a call, sent him a text message instead.
