Chapter 273: 273

The most breath-taking feature was his top hat, which had somehow fused with the large hole on his scalp and could not be separated at all. Forcing a separation would likely endanger his life. Consequently, Qin Haizhu also serendipitously earned the role of a hat-wielding fighter. Later, by a stroke of good fortune, he encountered the likes of Pig Hu; upon learning about their collective venture into tomb raiding, Qin Haizhu hesitated for a long time as he was someone more principled than anyone else. Although he knew being haughty was nothing to be proud of, he still clung to his integrity. Despite all the intimidation and luring, Qin Haizhu eventually decided to give it a try.

How do you say it, some people are just born for certain professions. Pig Hu excelled in Dragon Seeking and Point Detecting, while Qin Haizhu was crystal clear about the various medicinal properties underneath graveyards. Especially the toxic and miasmic gases accumulated in ancient tombs of ages past all needed his solving.

In the following month, Tang Su was busy setting up their new home, and Ye Tian ran between Binhai Industrial and the dog fighting arena, overwhelmed with chores at the company. Zheng Xinru, keen on making Ye Tian her spokesperson, still restrained his expansion, sensitive to the three-year deadline. Ye Tian could interact with the company’s core, yet the actual survival core remained tightly in Zheng Xinru’s grip.

Ye Tian didn’t care about these things. If it were him, he might even be more ruthless than Zheng Xinru. Empathy revealed it was all the same. The selfishness of human nature dictated a deadly game of survival. He was already used to it.

This morning, Tang Su prepared breakfast but saw no sign of Ye Tian getting up. Walking into the room, she found him still sleeping on the floor.

"Up you go, not going to work?"

Ye Tian, rubbing his bleary eyes and seeing it was Tang Su, lay back down, "Wife, it’s the weekend, no work today."

Tang Su remained unmoved, "It’s not about work."

"What is it, then?" Ye Tian’s voice sounded weary. He had been coming back late these days, not sleeping until three or four o’clock in Lin Chen’s time. Bloodshot eyes were a regular sight in the morning. Tang Su felt both pain and distress seeing this.

"Get up first. Have breakfast."

"No. Unless you tell me, I won’t get up." Ye Tian stretched out on the bed, began to play the rascal, knowing there was nothing Tang Su could really do to him.

Tang Su touched her head and looked up at the ceiling. In a subdued voice, she said, "Today is October 24th. I was thinking of getting registered today, but now it seems... forget it."

As soon as Tang Su left the bedroom, she heard a heaven-shattering, soul-stirring howl from behind, shaking the rafters—a perfect example of crying ghosts and howling wolves.

While waiting for Ye Tian to come for breakfast, Tang Su went to the bookshelf and pulled out a copy of "Comprehensive Mirror for Aid in Government," within which was her residence registration booklet. She caressed the gold-embossed booklet repeatedly, as if touching a child; this was to be her whole world from now on.

Ye Tian rushed out of the room, skipping breakfast, grabbing Tang Su to leave immediately, urgency written all over his face. If Tang Su wasn’t a bit reserved, Ye Tian might have carried her straight to the car.

Pig Hu happened to be passing by the hotel to chat with Ye Tian and witnessed the scene. He inwardly exclaimed twice over, admiring the vigor of the youth who seemed capable of adopting any manner. The carelessly-embraced Ye Tian, upon seeing the odd look in his eyes, didn’t bother to hit him but just gave a foolish grin and then sat in the driver’s seat of the Audi A4 and drove away.

Sitting in the seat, Tang Su couldn’t help but laugh and chide, "What’s the hurry? I’m not going anywhere."

"Who knows?" Ye Tian replied cautiously looking at the red light ahead, "The legs are on you, you might decide I’m not handsome enough, without enough money, and leave me, then I would truly regret it to death." The traffic lights today were cooperative, at least there were no traffic jams.

Suddenly remembering something, Ye Tian frowned, "Susu, it seems we’ve forgotten something."

"What?"

Ye Tian said with a bitter face, "Today is the weekend, the civil affairs bureau might not be open."

Seeing his almost teary state, Tang Su burst into laughter, rebuking him, "Silly. Now it’s the peak of the wedding season, so they only close one day on the weekend, the staff won’t rest on Saturday."

Ye Tian didn’t know this detail; it seemed Tang Su had done her homework well. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have initiated dragging him here. Looking at Tang Su beside him, Ye Tian felt a surge of happiness befitting a groom. Indeed, when they arrived at the civil affairs bureau, there were already many people waiting, and Ye Tian realized he was quite early. Otherwise, they would be queuing way out the door.

Ye Tian picked a number and both sat down to wait on a bench.

Compared to the unremarkable Ye Tian, Tang Su’s presence was stunning, attracting the gaze of many men, while their hands and thighs already bore numerous external and internal injuries. Ye Tian didn’t mind other men looking at his wife; on the contrary, he proudly pulled Tang Su into his embrace and looked smugly at the surrounding men, a satisfaction undeniably sprouting from within. However, this was soon followed by Tang Su affectionately pinching Ye Tian’s waist, leaving him grinning with hurt happiness.

The other men, seeing this, silently ridiculed Ye Tian for being a mismatch with the woman beside him, supposing him to be another old Phoenix desperately climbing the social ladder. There were even many who spitefully wished the couple would break up soon.

The next ones were Ye Tian and Tang Su. Tang Su’s initial nervousness settled down after a few calming breaths. Meanwhile, the increasingly excited Ye Tian next to her had her left hand tightly clasped, growing firmer, causing some discomfort, but Tang Su endured it.

"Number 36."

A lucky number. Ye Tian felt pretty good about it.

The lady at the registration desk looked kindly, radiating a gentle, good-natured vibe. After checking their identity cards and registration booklets, she commented, "You two really are a good match." They both nodded.

"Miss, are you doing this willingly?"

Unknown to Tang Su was the fact that such questions still had to be asked at a wedding. She wondered if the presentation would be more attractive if made a little prettier. This love required showcasing.
