My friend's uncle took a fancy to me

Zhou Qi was just feeling relieved, but when he heard her say that she wanted to move back to the rented house, he was shocked. He hadn't done anything yet, but his wife was already afraid of him. How could this be tolerated?

"Then why do you want to go back?" Zhou Qizhen asked gently, afraid of really scaring her.

"It hasn't been made public yet! I told Sister Jia that you proposed to me, but I didn't tell her we'd registered. Besides, you're not at home. I'm scared to be alone in such a big house."

"Well, I didn't think it through. What does my wife mean?"

Lu Xiaoqiao felt his hands were a little cold, so he put them in his pockets and said after thinking for a moment, "How about this, I usually stay at your place, and when you're away on business, I'll come back and stay. Is that okay?"

Zhou Qizhen didn't dare to disagree, for fear that if he asked for too much, his wife would think that he registered for marriage with her just for that matter.

"Okay, I'll have someone pick you up tonight and bring your suitcase back to you. You can spend the next two days packing up what you need to move, and I'll help you move it when I come back from my business trip to pick you up."

"okay."

After the two of them hung up the phone, Zhou Qizhen asked Secretary Ding to bring in his lunch.

On the first day of work in the new year, Zhou Qi was so busy that he didn't even have time to drink a sip of water. Although he had been to Lu Xiaoqiao's house for a few days during the New Year period, he had accumulated a lot of work.

He only took a few bites of food, barely suppressing his hunger, then put down his cutlery and sat back in his office chair.

After thinking for a while, he picked up his phone, found Mr. Lu's phone number, hesitated for a long time, and finally dialed it.

You must tell someone about it when you get a marriage certificate with their daughter, as it is also a kind of respect for the two elderly people.

When the call was connected, Lu's father was working at home. When he saw that it was Zhou Qizhen calling, he was a little confused.

"Hello? Qi Zheng! Why are you calling at this time?"

"dad!"

Father Lu: "..."

Father Lu thought he was hard of hearing and didn't hear clearly. When you get older, you have a lot of things to do and you can't even hear clearly.

"Qi Zheng, what did you just say? Uncle didn't hear clearly!"

"Dad! Xiao Qiao and I have obtained our marriage certificate!"

Father Lu: "..."

Got…got the certificate? This guy was really quick!

I just told him yesterday that as long as Xiao Qiao is willing, I won’t care even if we get the marriage certificate today. Is it already done?

Without hearing Father Lu's reply, Zhou Qizheng continued, "I received it this morning."

Father Lu sighed softly, feeling a little aggrieved. "Aren't you talking nonsense? You two just got off the plane at midnight yesterday."

Are you blocking the door of the Civil Affairs Bureau and waiting for them to start working before you go to collect it?

Things have come to this point, and both parents have agreed. Although he is a little reluctant, there is no need to be pretentious. As long as his daughter is willing, the two of them can just live a good life!

"Qi Zheng! I still say the same thing. I only have one request of you, and that is to never let my daughter suffer any injustice."

Zhou Qizheng said sincerely: "Dad, don't worry, I won't let you and Mom down."

"Well, just remember what you said. Also, wait until you come over to propose before telling anyone else! I'm afraid people will gossip about it then."

There will definitely be rumors that they got the marriage certificate without proposing, which means there must be something else going on. Although the innocent are innocent, such words are indeed unpleasant to hear. Now that I think about it, I feel a little regretful that I let the two of them register this matter first. The father and son of the Zhou family were in unison, and I don’t know why they agreed to it that day.

"Dad, Xiao Qiao and I have the same plan. I'll mail the household registration booklet back to you today!"

"Well, mail it back to the address on the household registration book."

"Okay, thank you, Dad. Then tell Mom, I'll hang up if there's nothing else. You go ahead and do your work."

Zhou Qizhen had solved a big problem and was in a good mood. He asked Secretary Ding to mail the household registration book back to Lu's father. He also secretly put a bank card in the gap of the household registration book.

It would be even more perfect if I didn’t have to go on a business trip today!

……

Li Yuxuan came to deliver the documents for Zhou Qizhen to sign, and saw Shen Yi was there too.

"Hey! Old Shen is here too! Come on, come on, Old Zhou, quickly help me sign this document first. I'm waiting for it. What other company can be as busy as our Jiang Heng on the first day of work?"

Zhou Qizheng took the document, reviewed it, signed it, and handed it back to Li Yuxuan: "I'm going on a business trip to Shenzhen today. Can you go in my place?"

Li Yuxuan looked at him in surprise: "Why? What else do you want? Didn't you just come back from the Northeast? I came here this morning, but you weren't here. What are you going to do now?"

"I'm mainly worried that my wife will be unhappy."

Li Yuxuan: "..."

Shen Yi: "..."

Shen Yi asked in disbelief: "What did you just say?"

Zhou Qizhen leaned back in his chair slowly, the curve of his lips showing his current mood.

"Nothing, just me and my wife registered!"

Li Yuxuan sat back down in the chair opposite Zhou Qizheng and said with some disdain, "Tsk! Stop bragging! Who would believe that?"

"That's right, who would believe it?" Shen Yi also said.

"Then I'll open your eyes." Zhou Qizhen said, and took out the marriage certificate from the drawer of his desk, which he had admired alone more than a dozen times.

Li Yuxuan saw that he really took it out and said doubtfully, "It can't be fake!"

Shen Yi also stood up from the sofa, walked to the desk, and reached out to take the red book on the table: "Let me see if it's real."

Zhou Qizheng covered it with his hand: "Don't break it!"

Shen Yi: "..."

The marriage certificate was slowly opened in front of them, and both of them stretched their necks to get a closer look.

Both people in the photo are wearing white shirts. Against the red background, the man is handsome and the woman is beautiful.

There is a steel seal deeply embedded in the paper below the photo, symbolizing that the two are a legal couple.

Li Yuxuan sat back in his chair: "That's great, Old Zhou, I didn't realize that! Doesn't your father-in-law dislike your age? How can you explain it? You didn't trick the girl into stealing her household registration book and getting the certificate with you, did you?!"

Shen Yi still looked "stimulated" and wanted to take another look at the marriage certificate to see if it was genuine, but Zhou Qizhen took it away on the pretext that he was afraid it would be damaged.

Shen Yi looked at Zhou Qizheng with a bit of envy: "How did you deal with it? Do you have any good methods that you secretly use? If you are a buddy, please share it with me."

Zhou Qizheng put away the marriage certificate and leaned back in his chair: "Two words, sincerity."

Shen Yi: "If you don't want to talk about it, forget it. By the way, when are you planning to have the wedding?"

"I'll announce it to the public after I propose on May 1st. I told you two first so that you can prepare the red envelopes first."

Li Yuxuan scoffed. "What's there to pretend about? Just say you want to show off to us! And the red envelopes? We can't compare to you in terms of wealth! What are you missing from my little tricks?"
