The handsome guy next door loves to flirt.

"Alright, look at you, you're laughing so hard you're practically begging for mercy." Mingkun doesn't laugh often, but he was laughing like a fool right now, and even Yun Shu was amused by his laughter.

"Let's go in!" Mingkun put away his smile and pulled Yunshu to take care of business.

The Civil Affairs Bureau was nearly empty early in the morning, with only a few staff members. It makes sense; many people come early to register for marriage, so they're not in a rush. The southern part of the city is generally a rather serious place, not one for romance.

Yun Shu and Ming Kun filled out marriage application forms one after the other, then took photos together. They then handed over copies of their ID cards, household registration books, and photos to the staff. The staff would then paste the couple's photo onto the bright red marriage certificate, print out the contents, and stamp it with an official seal. That's how the "fresh" marriage certificate was produced.

Yun Shu and Xiao Mingkun each held a book. Mingkun was very excited, while Yun Shu was still confused. She had married herself off so easily, and she felt somewhat cheated. She felt uncomfortable and wronged, so she walked out of the Civil Affairs Bureau in a sullen mood.

"What's wrong? Are you unhappy? We're legally married now. Shouldn't we support each other through thick and thin and take care of each other?" Mingkun noticed that Yunshu didn't seem happy at all and instead looked unhappy, so he was worried that she might have regretted it.

"No... how should I put it... look at other people's weddings, they take wedding photos, receive blessings from relatives and friends, invite people to dinner and so on, and even have a honeymoon trip, but I just married myself off like this..." Yun Shu murmured aggrievedly.

"It's okay, we have time to take wedding photos too. I've already made arrangements. Although we can't go far or have a honeymoon, I'll still give you what I can afford right now. After the photos, we'll go see our new house. We've already bought it, and although it's not decorated yet, you can decorate it however you like!"

"We can take wedding photos? And when did you buy the wedding house?" Yun Shu was very surprised, as he had never made such arrangements or plans before.

“You can only get married once in a lifetime, so of course I prepared a long time ago. I just didn’t expect us to get married so hastily, and it’s still unfair to you. We can’t afford a banquet for the wedding, but a simple wedding photoshoot is fine. We bought the house shortly after Xu Ya came here, but there aren’t many good houses near the hospital. After looking around, we only picked one that wasn’t furnished. But I thought if you designed it and I decorated it, wouldn’t our home be even more cozy? I paid for the house in full, and the property certificate is in your name,” Mingkun said.

"Why are you so good to me!" Yun Shu was deeply moved and finally threw herself into Ming Kun's arms. Ming Kun didn't care about her complicated nature, nor did he believe in fate. He had prepared everything in advance so that she didn't have to worry about anything.

Mingkun reached into his pocket and pulled out an exquisite box. Inside was a beautiful ring. As he put it on Yunshu's finger, he said, "I'm sorry, it's not a diamond." The ring only cost a little over ten thousand yuan, which wasn't expensive at all.

"Thank you! I love it!" With an engagement ring in hand, Yun Shu had let go of all the regrets she had felt before. Meeting such a good man was her blessing, and even if she didn't have a proper wedding in this life, it wouldn't matter.

The two embraced silently for a long time, oblivious to the people and cars passing by. Only then did they truly understand the understanding and compromise between lovers.

The couple then went to a nearby photo studio to take one set of wedding photos in ancient style and one in modern style.

After changing his clothes, Mingkun, without needing to put on makeup, stood outside waiting while Yunshu went inside to change into her wedding dress. But Mingkun didn't feel bored at all; on the contrary, he felt that today was indeed a wonderful day.

After waiting for a long time, Yun Shu changed her clothes and put on makeup before quietly walking out.

The snow-white wedding dress accentuated her delicate figure, and her exquisite features, adorned with light makeup, made her look even more beautiful. Mingkun was stunned when he saw her. Yun Shu usually dressed very simply, and if she wore makeup, it was only light; she would never dress so beautifully.

Yun Shu walked up to Ming Kun, and seeing that he was staring at her intently, she asked shyly, "Isn't it pretty?"

Mingkun then realized and said, "No, you look great, you look your best. I never knew you would look so beautiful in a wedding dress. I'm so glad I made the right decision to have our wedding photos taken. I'll have the photographer take some really beautiful pictures of you."

Yun Shu felt relieved after hearing him say that she was beautiful.

After taking wedding photos, the couple also took photos in traditional Chinese bride and groom attire, which took two hours to complete.

When they came out of the photo studio, it was just past 12 o'clock. Xiao Mingkun and Yun Shu had a sumptuous lunch at a large restaurant across from the photo studio.

Yun Shu, feeling quite full, slumped in her chair and complained, "I can't walk anymore. Who told you to order so much food? It's such a waste." Yun Shu looked at the table with more than half of the food still uneaten and felt very sorry for it.

"It's okay, I'll carry you down. Why not use your husband?" Xiao Mingkun said with a grin.

Yun Shu glared at him. This guy always tried to take advantage of her whenever they were together, but from now on he could do it openly.

Yun Shu sat for a while before getting up. She had only taken half a day off and had to go to work in the afternoon.

"I have to go to work now. As for the house, I'll have a couple of days off, then you can take me to see it, and then I'll think about how to decorate it."

“Okay, honey! I’ll come pick you up this afternoon!” Mingkun replied happily.

"Hey! Have you forgotten that I'm living at the Gu family's house now? Gu Cheng told me to move back in, but I'll find an excuse to move out in a couple of days."

Xiao Mingkun slapped his forehead and complained, "What kind of world is this! We have to separate on our very first day of marriage..."

“We’re secretly married. By the way, I don’t even want to tell Aruo about our relationship. Aruo is so carefree, I don’t trust her. What if she accidentally tells someone? I’ll make our relationship public when your parents can accept me and Gu Cheng stops interfering with me.”

“…” Mingkun wanted to say something, but in the end he just sighed. They… really had it tough! Both sets of parents disagreed, and they had to sneak around to get married.

"Take me to the hospital, honey!" Yun Shu said, then walked towards where Xiao Mingkun had parked his car.

"What did you say? Say it again!"

No matter how much Mingkun tried to coax her, Yun Shu didn't call him again. She couldn't let this man continue, otherwise he would become aggressive again, and she had to go to work.
