Mo Xiaolin cooked several dishes that ng Jin liked. It was not until they finished eating and were chatting inside the house, with Mo Xiaolin leaning on ng Jin's shoulder, that she truly felt this was real and not just an elusive dream she did not want to wake up from.
"Brother Jin, where is our marriage certificate?" Mo Xiaolin suddenly rembered this.
ng Jin carefully took out two red booklets from his chest pocket and said, "Here they are."
Mo Xiaolin opened the booklet and saw a photo of herself smiling foolishly. She suddenly said, "That's not right, getting a marriage certificate shouldn't be this easy, right?"
"Because of this." ng Jin handed her the briefcase he had earlier, and from it, he pulled out a stack of old docunts mixed with so new ones. He said, "We had already held a wedding feast before, and we were essentially married, just missing the marriage certificate. After I returned to Jing City, I had already prepared these materials necessary for getting the marriage certificate."
"It's also my fault. If I hadn't been so eager to get married, and because of our special circumstances that needed exceptional handling, I wouldn't have mistakenly nad the wrong place." ng Jin thought about how a simple misnaming of a place caused them to miss out on so many years together, and he wished he could slap himself hard.
If only the normal procedures were followed at the ti...
No, ng Jin thought of their situation back then; if they had followed the normal procedures, they probably would not have had those brief months of sweet and happy married life.
Because just two or three months after getting married, the ng Family faced a crisis, which took over a year to settle down.
"Brother Jin," Mo Xiaolin looked at those docunts, and couldn't help but think that ng Jin must have felt very sweet while handling them back then.
Suddenly, tears started streaming down Mo Xiaolin's face.
"Xiaolin, it's my fault, all my fault, it caused us to miss so many years," ng Jin said self-reproachfully, comforting her with an embrace.
"No, it's all my fault," Mo Xiaolin cried even harder as he comforted her.
She continued crying and said, "I was too timid."
ng Jin was bewildered by her crying.
Mo Xiaolin said, "If I had just visited the address you left, and verified it a bit more, maybe we would have reunited sooner."
With tears blurring her vision, Mo Xiaolin murmured, "Back then... when I was pregnant with Si Yu, I went to Jin City to look for you, but couldn't find any news of you. I even left a ssage with Dahu, asking him to write to if he heard anything about you."
ng Jin looked at Mo Xiaolin, feeling the irony of fate. After the ng Family's troubles were finally resolved, ng Jin went to find her; Dahu had died early in that era and left no ssage. Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on ⓝovelFire
"Dahu died not long after your incident," ng Jin sighed and replied.
Mo Xiaolin was shocked as she looked at ng Jin, realizing why for so many years he only searched based on the information he knew, without finding her exact address.
Mo Xiaolin choked up, "We always just missed each other. After giving birth to Si Yu, once I finished my confinent period, I went to Jin City again, but... they told the ng Family had an incident, and that you had died."
She recalled that mont, clearly rembering how incredulous she had felt upon hearing the news.
"Brother Jin, I was timid back then, afraid to go to Jing City to confirm, even after finding the address you left. When I saw others moving your family's belongings out, and they said, the forr owners had all died," Mo Xiaolin said, filled with regret. If only she had asked around a bit more, perhaps there wouldn't have been so many missed opportunities, so many separations.
Sadly, back then, she had just visited once, heartbroken, and dared not go to Jing City to search for ng Jin anymore. She privately felt that, by not going to Jing City, not seeing ng Jin's gravestone, and waiting in Wangjiang County for ng Jin to find her, it was as if ng Jin had never encountered any trouble at all.
"Xiaolin, don't cry anymore, it's all in the past." ng Jin said tenderly as he embraced her, gently patting Mo Xiaolin's back and softly speaking, "When you received that news, it was probably when our ng Family had the incident. At that ti, I indeed almost died, but fortunately, I have a strong fate and didn't die."
Mo Xiaolin pulled open ng Jin's shirt and when she saw the wound on his chest, her tears flowed even more fiercely.
"At that ti, the ng Family was in a crisis, and my grandfather and I were driven out, and many people even spread news that we had died. That's why, you in Jin City, had only heard such news." ng Jin explained gently: "It doesn't hurt anymore, it's all past."
"Brother Jin." Mo Xiaolin sobbed chokingly, between them, there had always been unfortunate miscommunications, and they had been separated for so many years.
ng Jin blad himself, and Mo Xiaolin blad herself too.
For a mont, only the sound of the two people sobbing echoed through the room.

In Jing City.
"Back already?" Lu Hui was setting the food on the table when she heard Zhou Lai humming a tune, entering with a smile on his face.
Lu Hui looked at Zhou Lai in surprise and asked, "What's up, why are you so happy today? Any good news?"
"Pour so wine." Zhou Lai saw the stir-fried pork with green peppers on the table, along with a plate of peanuts and bok choy, and he felt the urge to drink.
Lu Hui sat down in surprise, watching Zhou Lai drinking wine and beca even more curious. Her mind spun, and she asked in surprise, "Did you get promoted again?"
Zhou Lai glanced at her and said, "I was promoted last year, do you think promotions co so easily?"
"That's true." Lu Hui then rembered this matter.
"If it hadn't been for ng Jin focusing on research and developnt, I wouldn't have had my chance. The ng Family business will eventually belong to ng Jin." Zhou Lai said dismissively: "I just benefited from his light."
Otherwise, how could he have won Old Master ng's trust.
"That's because you're capable too." Lu Hui added.
"Right, tell your sister to give up on ng Jin sooner." Zhou Lai suddenly threw out this line.
Lu Hui heard this and imdiately raised her eyebrows saying, "Don't worry, Yanyan has already given up on ng Jin long ago. Tell , what man waits for twenty-seven years and still avoids won? Do you think he's really a man?"
"No, Zhou Lai, you have to talk to about this. ng Jin's wife might have died that year directly, didn't he wait in vain?" Lu Hui's mind spun, feeling that ng Jin was too unsentintal.
"Lu Hui." Zhou Lai admonished her seriously: "You can't say this again."
"I'm just saying it privately." Lu Hui, having been seriously warned by Zhou Lai, couldn't help but ponder in her heart, and she wasn't the only one—everyone in their circle was pondering the sa.
"Now ng Jin has already gotten married and found his wife, so, let your sister give up sooner. Also, if you see soone in the future, be a bit sweeter, build good relationships." Zhou Lai elaborated in detail, he still trusted his own wife very much.
