Chapter 513: Chapter 511 Lu Xia Getting the Certificate 17_1

"Perhaps I misheard," the old patriarch waved his hand, unconcerned about the matter just now, and continued, "Though that empress died before she could wear it, you mustn’t think this jewelry is unlucky. It’s a new age now, don’t believe in those superstitions. Every woman who has married into our Lu Family has worn this set of jewels, and not one of them has had any trouble."

After the old patriarch spoke these meaningful words, he solemnly handed the item over to him.

Lu Tingli gazed at the jewels in his hand, feeling an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

As if he had seen them somewhere before.

And as if they were always meant to belong to Xia Ningxing.

"Thank you, Grandpa." Lu Tingli closed the case containing the jewels and put it away, planning to give it to Xia Ningxing when he saw her later.

"If you really want to thank me, then hurry up and have a child with Xingxing!" When the old patriarch spoke, his eyes were shining with anticipation.

Lu Tingli coughed lightly, "Maybe in a couple of years."

"Sigh..." The light in the old patriarch’s eyes dimmed at a visibly rapid rate.

But he didn’t press the issue.

After all, young people ultimately have their own ideas.

"Don’t you have to go with Xingxing to the civil affairs office to register your marriage? It’s getting late, better hurry over there," the old patriarch reminded him.

Right.

Today was the day they were supposed to go get their marriage certificate.

Just thinking about it made the old patriarch’s whole body tremble with excitement, as if he had been injected with chicken blood.

Soon Xingxing would become a part of the Lu Family!

Ahhh!

"Get moving, you rascal!" the old patriarch couldn’t help but rush him impatiently, wishing he could just pack Lu Tingli up and teleport him directly to the Xia Family.

"I am on my way to pick her up from her parents’ house," said Lu Tingli as he stood up from the sofa, donned his suit jacket, and strode through the courtyard gates with his straight long legs.

Driving off to the Xia Family.

Xia Ningxing sat nervously on the sofa, her hands tightly intertwined, glancing occasionally toward the door.

Why hasn’t he come yet!

Xia Ningxing was getting anxious.

Tuanzi snorted disdainfully, giving her a look of contempt, "I’ve never seen a girl so lacking in modesty!"

Yet, he couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.

It was just like before.

Eager to get married, and in the end, a tragic fate with not even a corpse left intact.

Last time, he couldn’t kill the tyrant before the tyrant died naturally, but this time, if Lu Tingli dared to treat Xia Ningxing badly, even if he had to sit in a cell forever, he would make him pay dearly!

"Tuanzi! Since when am I not modest!" Xia Ningxing, her thoughts exposed, felt a mix of annoyance and embarrassment, throwing a cushion at him: "You little brat, shut up! Don’t speak!"

Tuanzi crossed his arms helplessly, "Did I say anything wrong?"

"Yes, of course you did!" Mrs. Xia slapped him right away.

In the eyes of a mother like Mrs. Xia, who doted on her daughter excessively, even if Tuanzi wasn’t wrong, he was still wrong!

Tuanzi: "..."

Alright, alright, he would shut up!

Wasn’t it enough that he stopped talking?

Just then, the sound of a car engine starting was heard.

Xia Ningxing’s head shot up, her eyes brimming with anticipation as she looked towards the door once more.

Before long, the man arrived.

Against the light, his figure was tall and straight, like a pine growing stubbornly on a cliff edge.

His handsome face was bathed in a hazy glow, softening his sharp features, making him appear as gentle as the spring breeze.

It was Lu Tingli!

It was him!

He was now taking steps towards her, one by one.

"Ningxing."

His smile was brimming with warmth as he looked at her.

"Lu," Xia Ningxing smiled back at him as well.

Afterward, Lu Tingli greeted the Xia family’s members.

He also pulled out a ruby necklace, "Ningxing, this is from Grandfather. He hopes you can wear it on your wedding day."

"This is too precious!" Xia Ningxing, after opening it and seeing the ruby, was immediately captivated by its dazzling shine and fell in love with it at once.

However, for some reason, her heart felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

Xia Ningxing couldn’t help but reach out and touch the brilliant ruby, her eyes clouded with a hint of confusion, as if she had seen it somewhere before.

Yet, Xia Ningxing was certain that she had never seen it before.

"This set of jewelry..." Tuanzi’s glossy eyes also landed on the jewelry, and something seemed to occur to him, making his expression fall.

He hadn’t expected this jewelry set to still exist to this day.

And to have returned to his sister’s hands.

It was as if it had found its way back to its rightful owner.

Yes, it was the tyrant who had ordered the best craftsman in the palace to make it for his sister.

It was meant to be worn by her on her wedding day, but in the end, why did the tyrant end up killing his sister?

Tuanzi couldn’t help clenching his fingers.

It would forever be a pain buried in his heart!

But fortunately, the world now is one where everyone is equal, and there are no tyrants anymore.

Looking at the happily radiant Xia Ningxing, Tuanzi couldn’t help but wish from the bottom of his heart, "Sister, you must be happy, now go and register your marriage with Brother-in-law quickly."

He had come to realize that as long as his sister didn’t marry the tyrant, it didn’t matter who she married, as long as she liked him and was willing and happy.

"Yes, go and register quickly," Mrs. Xia sighed and urged as well.

Better to suffer early than to suffer late!

With permission granted, an impatient Lu Tingli couldn’t sit still any longer and immediately stretched out his hand towards Xia Ningxing, "Ningxing, let’s go."

Xia Ningxing looked up at him and placed her hand in his palm, "Let’s go."

Watching their departing figures, Tuanzi initially told himself to be happy for them, smiling, but soon, he couldn’t control the sourness welling up inside, like a child whose toy had been snatched away.

"Wah!"

In the end, he could no longer hold back and burst into loud sobs.

Why did he have to taste the bitterness of his sister marrying someone again!

"You little brat, what are you crying for, it’s such a joyous occasion!" Mrs. Xia couldn’t help but slap him, but clearly, she too was shedding tears, her voice choked up.

"You’re crying yourself, yet you tell me off!" Tuanzi couldn’t help but scorn her through his tearful eyes.

Mrs. Xia: "..."

In the end, the mother and son simply hugged and cried their eyes out.

For those who knew, they knew Xia Ningxing was going to register her marriage, but to those unaware, they might well think Xia Ningxing was heading to the execution grounds.

Once in the car, Lu Tingli didn’t immediately drive towards the civil affairs bureau, but instead, he first took her to a very posh photography studio.

Lu Tingli said, "Ningxing, let’s take our marriage certificate photos outside first."

He had already arranged for a professional photographer.

This was their first and only time registering their marriage, and he wanted everything to be perfect without any regrets, especially the photos on the marriage certificate.

"No problem," Xia Ningxing nodded her little head and followed him out of the car.
