Married Just Like That (4)

When Shi Guang arrived at the Ministry of Civil Affairs with Lu Yanchen, they had already knocked off.2

"Seems like it can't be done today," Shi Guang felt okay about it. In fact, she was a little relieved as well. Seemed like she didn't want to get a marriage certificate with Lu Yanchen after all.

"Some other day then!"

Leaving that remark behind, Shi Guang turned around to leave. However, she found Lu Yanchen holding her by the wrist. Without saying anything more, he dragged her inside.

"Everyone's already knocked off. It's past working hours…"

It WAS past working hours alright, but there was still someone waiting for them. The moment they entered, they were handed a form each.

Shi Guang looked at everything before her in surprise, wondering if it was just a hallucination. "…"

To think that there would be a service as such!

Looking at how reluctant she was looking, Lu Yanchen's face turned slightly dark. Retracting his icy gaze, his entire body exuded forth an aura of frostiness only found in the deepest of the winter nights.

He turned his head sideways and remarked coldly, "If you don't want to, you can leave now."

It sounded like an ultimatum.

Shi Guang looked at him calmly, her body freezing up like a statue for a moment before she replied softly, "No!"

Sitting down, she started filling up the form silently.

Even though this was someone that she had agreed to and she should not be acting coquettish, every single girl was filled with hopes toward their own marriage. Every single one wanted to be brought in by their beloved partners, holding hands together sweetly.

But right now, she and Lu Yanchen looked nothing like lovers…

Looking at how awkward the tension was between both of them, the staff could not help but wonder in a gossipy attitude if the two of them were really here to get married.

The man did not come with his household register, and was carrying a marriage certificate issued from the army. Furthermore, there was someone who had instructed from the top that this issue must be settled properly.

Clearly, both of them were indeed here to get married, and this was a military marriage to boot.

With the forms filled up, the staff took it over to key in the information before bringing them to take a marriage photo.

From the moment Lu Yanchen saw how Shi Guang was looking reluctant, he had put on a black face the entire time, looking as though his face was covered with a layer of thousand years old frost.

They did not look like they were here to get married, more like they were here to get divorced.

When the marriage photo was taken, he was still expressionless as ever.

Shi Guang's lips were curled slightly in the photo, giving off a faint smile and still looking rather nice in it somehow.

After scrutinizing the photo for a good two seconds, she looked at Lu Yanchen and remarked with displeasure, "If you don't wish to, you can turn around and leave right now! Who even takes a marriage photo like this? This looks more like a divorce photo."

"No photo is needed for a divorce."

Shi Guang leered at him. "Who said that you don't need a photo for a divorce! You need it. If you don't believe me, you can ask the staff."

The staff member, "…"

Both of you are here to get married, so why are you talking about a divorce photo?

What a pair of clowns!

Lu Yanchen eyed the photo. "You yourself are not smiling either."

"Who said that I'm not smiling! Look at my curled lips!"

"Fake smile."

"Better than you at least! This is not the cover of a magazine. What are you acting all cool for?"

"If you're unhappy, take again then."

"Can we do that?"

The staff was extremely awkward and nodded his head furiously, "Sure, sure!"

These two were here to get married, true. But, there were no guarantees that they wouldn't divorce the next day right after.

The marriage photo was taken once again.

This time around, Lu Yanchen was smiling the same way as Shi Guang did. However, he gave off a really casual feel about it and looked way warmer. With a white outer shirt and a red shirt beneath, both of them paired together gave off a really clean and refreshing beauty.

The photo was pasted, and the seal was stamped.

From that moment on, both of them were a legally wed couple recognized by the country.

"I'm really married?" Shi Guang looked at the little red book[1] and was a little filled with denial over her status of being married.

To Lu Yanchen to boot.
