Tang Wan was astonished, "Today? It’s already past three, and we still have to go to my eldest
brother’s house for dinner later. Don’t we have no tleft? The civil affairs office might be closing
soon."
"We have time!"
"Shouldn’t you tell grandma, and your uncles and aunts about it?"
"Hold on a moment!" Jiang Jinsang said as he pulled out his phone to call Jiang Zhenhuan.
Jiang Zhenhuan was in the middle of a meeting at his company. Seeing the caller ID, he frowned
slightly; Jiang Jinsang rarely initiated contact with him, and between father and son, both being
men, there wasn’t much to talk about.
"Pause the meeting for a second, I’m going to take a call outside." Thinking Jiang Jinsang had some
important matter, he stepped out of the meeting room and asked in a low voice, "Xiaowu?"
"Dad, Wanwan and | are going to get our marriage certificate," Jiang Jinsang said with the
speakerphone turned on.
Tang Wan'’s pupils dilated in surprise — so direct?
Jiang Zhenhuan was taken aback. As someone who usually showed no expression, even his speech
lacked warmth, "Oh—"
"Do you have any objections?"
"No, if there’s nothing else, | need to get back to my meeting."
"Then go ahead with your work."
The matter was so sudden that Jiang Zhenhuan thought it was a joke and didn’t take it to heart.
He then called Fan Mingyu, who was at the beauty salon getting a skin treatment with several
friends. Hearing this, she actually laughed, "Go for it, as long as the Tang Family agrees, |
completely support it. | wish you two would get married and get that certificate right now."
Fan Mingyu didn’t take it seriously either, even joking that she wished they would provide her with
a plump grandson the next day.

Tang Wan blinked her eyes. Just like that?
"I think grandma would be okay with it too," Jiang Jinsang said confidently. "What about grandpa and Uncle Tang?
Do you want to give them a heads up?"
"No need." Tang Wan was concerned about Tang Yunxian, but he had agreed the night before.
Jiang Jinsang nodded, "Do you want to get dressed up a bit? We should hurry."
Tang Wan was somewhat confused, but there was a burst of excitement welling up inside her. On a whim and
feeling unexpectedly exuberant, she quickly put on makeup, changed into an appropriate and stylish outfit,
grabbed the household registration book, and followed him downstairs.
The old lady was sitting in the living room, wearing her glasses, and crocheting something with wool.
"Are you going out?" She knew they were supposed to go to Jiang Yanting’s place for dinner that night.
"What are you making?" Tang Wan leaned in for a look. The work was shapeless, so it was hard to tell what it
was.
"The other day, Taotao cover and mentioned that a child at the kindergarten had a bag made by her
grandma, so | thought of making one for her too. Look, this pink color suits her," the old lady said with a smile,
sizing up Tang Wan, "Wanwan, you look very pretty today."
"We're preparing to get our marriage certificate," Jiang Jinsang suddenly spoke up.
The old lady chuckled, "Go ahead, if you two get married, nobody's stopping you."
"Grandma, I'm serious, okay? | want to marry her — the kind of marriage that’s protected by law," Jiang Jinsang
pressed further.
"What nonsense are you spouting, you lad? If you're not serious about Wanwan, | won't let it go! Besides her,
who else do you plan to marry?"
Jiang Jinsang looked at Tang Wan, "You see, grandma agrees too."
They were to dine with Jiang Yanting today, and there might be sdrinking involved. Jiang Cuo and Jiang Jiu
had been following along the whole time. They, too, assumed the talk of getting a marriage certificate was a
joke. Plus, when they left, it was nearly four o'clock; the civil affairs office was about to close.
They had not anticipated that, as soon as they got into the car, Jiang Jinsang would say bluntly, "To the civil
affairs office."
"Boss..." Jiang Cuo looked confused, "Civil affairs office?"
"What about it?"
"Nothing."
They had just finished handling the transfer of property ownership, and now they were hurrying to get married?
What sort of speed was this? Even a rocket wouldn't be this fast!
What spell had Xiaowu cast on her to act with such haste?
The idea of getting married and getting registered sometimes relied on a moment of impulsive enthusiasm. Only
upon arriving at the entrance of the civil affairs office did Tang Wan realize.
This was for real!
"Wanwan, you have half an hour to think it over," Jiang Jinsang glanced at her because in half an hour, the civil
affairs office would close. Driven by a sudden impulse, if they missed today, there might be too much hesitation
and it might not go so smoothly in the future.
"Let's go." Having cthis far, Tang Wan didn’t want to overthink it. Besides, she wouldn't marry anyone but
him, so getting the certificate seemed trivial.
"Then let's go in." Jiang Jinsang said, pulling her inside. Because it was near closing time, there were hardly any
people in the civil affairs office aside from the staff. Those deciding to get a certificate would definitely come
early. People like them, pushing it to the last minute, were indeed rare...
Both of them had been on television before. The staff recognized them and looked somewhat astonished when
they took the household registration books to check.
"You're here for a marriage certificate, right?"
Jiang Jinsang nodded; he was actually feeling very nervous and restless inside...
This was also a first for him.
"Please fill out the forms first." The staff handed them the "Application for Marriage Registration,"
and everything proceeded according to protocol.
In the midst of it, Jiang Jinsang took a call from Jiang Yanting.
"Have you two left yet? About when will you arrive?" Shen Zhixian was already cooking, and he
needed to ttheir arrival so the food wouldn’t get cold and lose its taste.
"I’ve got something important to do, and will call you back later."
He hung up right after finishing.
Jiang Yanting was taken aback. What was going on with this kid?
What important thing did he have to do as someone who was recuperating at home?
Tang Wan had already filled out the form and carefully checked it twice over, even the names,
fearful of a single error, before handing it back to the staff...
Jiang Cuo and Jiang Jiu stood by, expressionless as if they were mechanical, both utterly baffled.
It all felt like a dream!
"Is this real, Jiang Jiu?"
Jiang Jiu grasped his arm tightly, the thumb pressing hard against a tendon, causing pain that
nearly made him cry out, "Damn it, you—"
He was versed in grappling and knew the vital points; such a press was excruciating.
"It’s real; you’re not dreaming."
"You..."
He was still wearing sunglasses, his expression cold and numb.
