It's terrible. Mr. Lu is too clingy.

In the early morning, a ray of sunlight shines into the room through the gap in the curtains, and the chirping of birds rings in my ears.

Xie Xingran naturally woke up, got up, stretched, and turned off the alarm clock before it rang.

The sound of running water came from the bathroom, and Lu Ci placed the giant panda quietly on the bed, covered with a quilt.

This behavior was so cute that I couldn't help but raise my lips.

Because they were going to get their marriage certificate today, for the sake of both of their faces, Xie Xingran found a suit.

When she walked into the bathroom, she saw Lu Ci had just taken off a facial mask, and his smooth and radiant face appeared in front of her.

Xie Xingran was stunned.

I didn't notice it before, but now that I see it from the perspective of others, I realize that I really can be called a great beauty.

"Are you awake? We have to take photos to get the marriage certificate today. Do you want to put some makeup on your face?" Lu Ci also looked around, as if he couldn't get enough. "I don't think it's necessary at all."

[Look at this little face. I really want to take a bite. Compared to me, it's only a little bit worse.]

Accustomed to his frequent flirting, Xie Xingran calmly took a glass of water, squeezed out toothpaste and brushed his teeth.

"Just put on some sunscreen and lipstick."

"Okay." Lu Ci also wiped his hands, put them to his mouth thoughtfully, and looked at her face.

"I need to shave my chin, and most importantly, comb my hair up, otherwise people will think you're seducing high school boys."

Xie Xingran paused, glanced at the man whose face was thicker than the city wall, sneered and said:

"You are only one and a half years younger than me."

Lu Ci was not at all embarrassed, and raised his eyes and said, "Is one and a half years not enough?"

Xie Xingran put away the mouthwash cup, looked at him and said with a fake smile: "Then brother, call me sister and let me hear it."

Lu Ci also snorted and immediately refused righteously: "I am a tall and strong man, how can I be shorter than you? I won't shout."

Xie Xingran's tone sharpened: "If you don't want to call me that, don't use age as an excuse to make trouble for me. I don't think you're too young."

That he is small?

Lu Ci also got excited and fought back with his neck stiffened: "Don't you know whether I'm small or not?"

Xie Xingran's expression froze, and some unspeakable images appeared in his mind.

She glared at him fiercely and said, "You can get out of here when you're done washing up. Don't get in my way here."

Lu Ci also realized it belatedly and felt ashamed, his face flushed, and he did not continue the topic.

He took out a razor from the cabinet and brought over a chair. "Come sit down and I'll shave your stubble."

Xie Xingran: "I can do it myself."

Lu Ciye: "No, you can't. Can you afford to pay for damaging my peerless beauty?"

Xie Xingran was feeling upset, but she had no experience in this area. If she was really scratched by him at this time, he would definitely make her very upset.

Sitting on the chair, she raised her chin and watched him patiently and carefully tinkering with her face with an expressionless face.

"Although our marriage was hastily arranged and you don't want to have a wedding, it is still necessary for the two families to have a meal together."

Lu Ciye's movements were lazy and casual, but his voice was unexpectedly gentle.

"My family is quite large, but don't worry, they're all easy to get along with. If anyone bullies you, just tell grandma, she'll definitely protect you."

Xie Xingran stared at his lowered eyes, and suddenly a warm feeling passed through his heart.

"But Lu Ciye, you've forgotten that you are me now. It's your job to win their favor, but this should be easy for you, right?"

After hearing this, Lu Ci suddenly realized.

"Yeah." He continued his movements. "That's easy. As long as it's something I like, they'll like it. You'll have to be considerate to me then."

Xie Xingran's heart moved, and a dark light flashed in his eyes, "What if I am exposed?"

Lu Ci also didn't care. "It's okay, my mom and grandma will cover it up for you. If it really doesn't work... just say you're trying to maintain a good image in front of me."

Xie Xingran said "oh" and stopped talking.

Lu Ciye: [Why are you so silly? Are you nervous?]

Xie Xingran: ...quite a bit.

Her family only has Sister Jin Ge, who is very weak compared to his family.

She was actually quite afraid that the other party would look down on them, or that they would be bullied by the large numbers.

But when she thought about how much Lu Ciye's mother and grandmother loved her, she felt a little more comforted.

"Don't be afraid. Both your uncle and third uncle's families are within the system. If they bully you, just write a letter of denunciation and report them. Let the state take care of it for you."

Xie Xingran laughed at these words of sacrificing family ties for the sake of justice.

Neither time did he say that he would protect her and make decisions for her, but instead he wanted to find someone who was more convincing and more powerful than him.

Because he knew that this would make her feel more secure now.

After having breakfast and taking various documents, the two took a taxi to the Civil Affairs Bureau.

In recent years, the number of people getting married has decreased noticeably, while the number of people getting divorced has increased.

So even though they arrived a little late, it was their turn soon.

After completing the registration process, taking photos, signing and stamping, each person’s marriage certificate was ready in less than half an hour.

Walking out of the Civil Affairs Bureau, the dazzling sun makes people feel dazed.

Lu Ci also looked at the marriage certificate in his hand, and he felt a little out of place.

「Ah——it’s done already? Don’t we need to swear an oath or something?」

Xie Xingran put the marriage certificate in his pocket and took out his cell phone to hail a taxi.

[This, I will also be married in the future?! ]

Xie Xingran looked at the person beside him whose smile gradually rippled, and his eyebrows twitched almost imperceptibly.

Is this guy too into the role?

"Oh, the weather is so nice today!" Lu Ci said, "Xie Xingran, don't you think so?"

Xie Xingran's heart skipped a beat when he met his burning gaze, and he pretended to be calm and turned away.

"Well, let's go, the car is coming."

When going down the stairs, Lu Ciye's steps were extremely light, and he hummed softly, and the joy in his body could not be concealed.

Seeing him like this, Xie Xingran couldn't help but smile slightly.

It's like, they are not in a contractual marriage, but are here because they love each other...

After getting the marriage certificate, since it was still early for the dinner, the two decided to go to the hospital for a free marriage check-up.

After arriving at the hospital, the two separated in the lobby with the reports in their hands and went to their respective departments for examinations.

Lu Ci also came to the gynecology department and unexpectedly heard a familiar voice at the stairs of the emergency passage.

"You said yourself that if I came here with you, you would abort the child." Jiang Ciyang's cold voice rang out, "You're going back on your word now. Do you think I'm a fool?"

The woman's voice was filled with tears. Ai Ai pleaded, "Ayang, this is your own flesh and blood. Maybe it's a boy. How can you bear to abort him with your own hands?"

Jiang Ci Yang's gentle and handsome face remained unchanged, but his heart beneath his gold-rimmed glasses was as stinky as it could be.

"I told you at the beginning that you should take the contraceptive pill afterward. I won't be responsible if anything goes wrong." He gently pushed the other person's hand away and calmly enumerated her faults.

"Xiao Ru, I told you a long time ago that you shouldn't be too greedy. Count how much money you took from me.

Now you want to threaten me with the child, don't you think you are too ignorant?"

The woman named Xiaoru stopped crying, as if she couldn't believe it, and then she choked with sobs and asked humbly:

"Have you never had any sincerity towards me in the past six months?"
