Nan Wan felt sothing was off. After struggling to open her eyes, her sight passed through the windshield and imdiately caught the eye-catching three words.
At the door, a young couple was just coming out in each other’s arms, their faces beaming with happy smiles, and their eyes too. The way they frequently glanced at each other, it felt as if the snow outside was sweet and delightful.
Was she so silly from sleep?
She asked in a daze, "Weren’t we going to eat? Why are we here..."
Mu Jin Huan’s handso face was gentle. The palm resting on her cheek was dry and warm, and his slender fingers gently caressed her earlobe. His voice was warm and low, "Logically speaking, when a couple cos to the Civil Affairs Bureau, it’s either to get married or divorced. Clearly, we’re the forr."
Her muddled brain gradually cleared up, "Didn’t you say you had sothing urgent at the company?"
"Compared to marrying you, any important work has to be put aside, don’t you think?"
Perhaps because she had just woken up, with the car door open, Nan Wan felt a bit cold. She lowered her head to button her clothes, only to find she was covered with the man’s coat.
She looked at it for a while, "Madam Mu said to wait until she set a date. She already doesn’t like very much, and if I rush things, she’ll dislike even more."
Mu Jin Huan saw very clearly that in her eyes, the Mu Family was nothing.
Those harsh words didn’t make her frown even a little, she still politely cooperated with him.
However, beneath this exquisite facade, there seed to be a hidden pride.
In her heart, she didn’t need the Mu Family’s approval at all.
He withdrew his hand from her cheek, straightened up, and his handso face remained calm, "If you don’t rush it, will she like you more?"
Nan Wan thought about it and felt that what he said made sense.
She removed the coat covering her, got out of the car, "That’s right, since it’s already co to this, even if she dislikes , I’d still marry you and beco Mrs. Mu."
Whether the certificate is obtained today or tomorrow, it made no difference to her.
The bright sun after heavy snow was considered good weather.
Mu Jin Huan raised an eyebrow, "Your understanding ability is quite good, looks like I can save a lot of effort in the future."
Nan Wan linked her arms around the man’s, her dimples shallow, and tilted her head to look at him, "Let’s go, Mr. Mu."
Mu Jin Huan lowered his eyes, staring at her small face, his gaze deep as the sea.
Compared to the previous distant ’Mr. Mu,’ the three words today felt different when heard.
His thin lips curved into a smile, and he took long strides.

The staff mber was taking the forms that needed filling out while observing the couple sitting in front of her, who seed to be surrounded by an aura.
She had worked here for a decade and it was the first ti she had seen such a situation with a new couple.
Their appearances and manners were exemplary— the man mature and steady, the woman beautiful and elegant. They seed well-matched at first glance.
However, there was no sign of the love typical of newlyweds in their eyes.
Then she realized, ah, high-society couples are probably like this.
Proceeding as usual, she passed the pen over, "This is the marriage registration declaration form, please fill it out."
She then began checking the docunts they submitted.
But, when she saw the woman’s household registration information, the marital status column surprisingly showed: Single.
Everyone in Qing City knew about the engagent between the third Miss of the Nan Family and the famous star Lu Li, how could she be single?
Disbelieving, she took off her glasses, rubbed her eyes, and put them back on to look again.
The sa two words: Single.
Even in the province-wide networked information, it was the sa, so it couldn’t be wrong.
So, the marriage was a sham!
Besides, if she was a woman who had been married before, how could a prestigious family like the Mu Family want such a daughter-in-law?
Having worked in governnt service for decades, with a lifeti of experience, she knew what to ask and what not to.
After Mu Jin Huan filled in all the information, he set down the pen and turned to look at the person beside him.
Watching the tip of her pen pause at the signatory position for several seconds before she neatly wrote her na.
Unlike other doctor’s signatures that resembled scrawls, her handwriting was neat and beautiful when signing.
Nan Wan handed the filled form to the staff mber, turning to et the man’s gaze, "Why are you staring at ?"
Mu Jin Huan leaned back against his chair, his black eyes almost amused, "Can’t I look?"
Nan Wan’s face broke into a bright smile, her delicate eyes curved, and it seed as if the brightest stars had settled in them.
"You can look, but if you keep staring, you’ll soon get tired of it."
Mu Jin Huan let out a low laugh from his throat, raised his hand, tucked her stray hair behind her ear and playfully pinched her cheek, "Then I’ll look sparingly in the future."
The staff mber handed over the marriage certificate with a polite smile, "I wish you a happy marriage."
Nan Wan took it, opened it, her eyes lingered on their joint photo, and after a mont, she lifted her gaze and said, "Thank you."
"You’re welco, may you have everlasting happiness and a harmonious union for a hundred years."

When they left the Civil Affairs Bureau, it was already one o’clock in the afternoon.
"What do you want to eat?"
Nan Wan fastened her seatbelt, answering casually, "Nothing in particular."
Mu Jin Huan started the car, "Then I’ll decide?"
"Okay."
A few minutes after driving, Nan Wan pressed her lips together and asked in a low voice, "About the house... Can you wait a few more days? I haven’t figured out how to tell Grandma yet."
"No rush, when you’re ready, I’ll go with you."
Nan Wan pursed her lips.
No rush... Who knows who went to so much trouble for that house.
Now, it seed trivial, insignificant.
"Forget it, you’ve already made a bad impression on Grandma, and married her favorite granddaughter without a word. If it makes her ill, I’ll be struck by lightning as punishnt, I better go and plead on my own."
Mu Jin Huan understood that the old lady might have so prejudice against him, but it was unlikely to be to the extent Nan Wan described—obviously exaggerated.
He curled his lips, turned on the music, and asked nonchalantly, "That serious?"
With an elegant piano piece playing, the atmosphere was gentle.
Nan Wan stretched lazily, then took out her phone from her bag, turned it on, and watched the screen brighten little by little, "Almost."
Mu Jin Huan stated calmly, "I won’t take the house for free. I’ll pay double the market price, and I’ll also buy Grandma a new one nearby."
Nan Wan smiled lightly, "Wouldn’t Mr. Mu be at a loss then?"
"Not really, after all, marrying Grandma’s favorite granddaughter deserves so kind of gesture."
Nan Wan chuckled softly, turned to watch the buildings speed by outside the window, and didn’t respond further.
