Chapter 453: Chapter 453: Officially Certified
Lan Yan was curious about this matter, but she didn’t ask much.
But just because she didn’t ask, it doesn’t an Lu Zhenyu wouldn’t speak up.
“Don’t say you didn’t know, we only found out a couple of days ago. We hadn’t heard that the head nurse had a boyfriend, so it’s quite unexpected for her to suddenly get married,” Lu Zhenyu said.
Then, he suddenly leaned closer and whispered to her, “I also heard that the head nurse isn’t marrying voluntarily, she’s being pressured by her parents.”
Lan Yan frowned slightly at him, “Your gossiping spirit is as strong as ever.”
Lu Zhenyu grinned playfully, “I can’t help it, being a doctor can sotis be so boring that I need sothing to liven things up. Besides, it’s not like I went out of my way to find out, I just happened to hear gossip while passing by the nurse’s station.”
Even though he loves gossip, he has his own limits.
He would never actively seek out other people’s gossip.
“But we did see her parents when the head nurse was hospitalized, and they seed nice to her. It’s surprising they would force her to marry soone she doesn’t like. I also heard it might be because of her brother.”
Lan Yan had also visited her with Su He before, and t her parents who seed quite good, with no apparent issues.
“Alright, don’t gossip too much, if the person involved hears it, you’re in trouble. Besides, the head nurse has been nice to you guys before, don’t bad-mouth her behind her back.”
“Oh, I’m not saying anything bad, just can’t help my curiosity.”
Lan Yan didn’t want to talk to him anymore, “I’m leaving first; Doctor Xiao should be finishing up soon.”
Lan Yan went straight to Xiao Si’s office.
But as she pushed the door open, she saw soone else inside—it was Jiang Huai.
Jiang Huai was standing in front of the desk, and hearing the sound, she turned around and t eyes with Lan Yan.
“Dr. Lan, are you looking for Dr. Xiao?” Jiang Huai asked.
Lan Yan looked at her and responded, “Mm,” “Are you here to get sothing, Nurse Jiang?”
Jiang Huai raised the dical record book in her hand, “Yeah, here to get a patient’s record. I got it, so I’ll leave now.”
Lan Yan nodded.
However, when passing by her, Jiang Huai stopped.
“By the way, Dr. Lan, I heard you and Dr. Xiao are getting married, right?”
Although Lan Yan didn’t understand why she was asking, she still answered her.
“Mm, yes.”
“Then congratulations to both of you.”
“Thank you.”
After going through those events, she didn’t have much enthusiasm for Jiang Huai.
Then, Jiang Huai added proactively, “I’m getting married next month too, if you have ti, feel free to co.”
Lan Yan did not expect her to tell her this.
Not knowing what to say, she could only respond, “Alright, thanks for inviting.”
Just then, Xiao Si returned.
“Anything you need, Nurse Jiang?” Xiao Si asked.
Jiang Huai replied, “Nothing important, just grabbing a record.”
Xiao Si responded with an indifferent “oh.”
Then he looked at Lan Yan, his face imdiately softened.
“Let’s get changed and head back.”
Lan Yan nodded.
Realizing she was in the way, Jiang Huai then left.
Once in the car, Xiao Si asked, “What were you guys talking about just now?”
Lan Yan replied, “Nothing much, the head nurse said she’s getting married.”
Xiao Si was slightly surprised but didn’t ask much, “Oh, alright.”
He wasn’t very interested in the matter.
Lan Yan did not continue the topic either.
But there was sothing she wanted to say, yet she hesitated.
Xiao Si looked at her and said, “Are you trying to tell sothing?”
Lan Yan acknowledged, “Indeed, but if I say it, you can’t get mad.”
Upon hearing this, Xiao Si nodded and said, “I won’t get mad, just say it.”
“Alright, I’ll say it then.”
“Mm, go on.”
Lan Yan paused for a mont and said, “It’s about the wedding date, can it be postponed?”
“What did you say?”
Xiao Si thought he misheard, “Say it again?”
Lan Yan pursed her lips, “If you didn’t hear, forget it, pretend I didn’t ask.”
She just casually asked, with no other intentions.
She then buckled her seatbelt and said, “Let’s go, I’m hungry, let’s eat.”
But the man sitting in the driver’s seat didn’t move.
Xiao Si squinted at her, suddenly leaned closer, and asked, “Why delay the wedding? Did soone say sothing to you?”
Lan Yan shook her head, “No, don’t overthink it, I just said it casually.”
Xiao Si suddenly felt a bit anxious.
“Or do you not want to marry right now?”
“No, I really didn’t an anything.” Lan Yan thought a bit and explained, “Because the “big boss’s” expected delivery date is in November.”
After listening, Xiao Si didn’t know what to say for a mont.
He never thought she’d have this reason.
Lan Yan blinked and added, “I’m just asking, with no other intentions.”
The man raised his hand and touched her head, “I know, but it’s not impossible to negotiate this.”
Lan Yan was surprised at his words.
“You agree to postpone?”
She thought he’d explode.
After all, he already thought the wait was long, if it delays further, he definitely wouldn’t want it.
Xiao Si said, “I said it’s negotiable.”
Lan Yan rolled her eyes, “How negotiable is it?”
The hidden aning is: What conditions do you have?
Knowing him, he would definitely have conditions since he ntioned negotiation, or he wouldn’t be Xiao Si.
Xiao Si raised his eyebrows and asked, “Will you agree with whatever I propose?”
Lan Yan thought about it before answering, “As long as it’s within my capability and isn’t illegal.”
“Do you think I would ask you to do sothing illegal?”
The man pointed at her forehead helplessly.
Lan Yan shook her head, “So what are you going to propose?”
Xiao Si’s thin lips curved slightly, “Let’s get the certificate early.”
“Just this?”
“Yep, just this.”
Lan Yan thought he would ask for sothing else.
“Okay, that’s no problem.”
Actually, even if he didn’t bring it up today, she would suggest it soti later.
“But the staff at the Civil Affairs Bureau already left for the day, let’s go tomorrow.” She said.
“Alright.”
Xiao Si wasn’t in a rush for just this mont.
——
At nine the next day.
The two arrived at the door of the Civil Affairs Bureau on ti.
Since they were the earliest, and there weren’t many people around, it was done in less than ten minutes.
Lan Yan looked at the marriage certificate in her hand, feeling quite calm inside.
Actually, she had been prepared for a long ti.
Moreover, she had already proposed, so she wasn’t as excited as the man next to her.
Lan Yan watched him staring at the photo on the marriage certificate and didn’t know what he was looking at.
Then, she heard him say, “Finally, it’s legitimate.”
After getting in the car, he even took a photo and posted it on his Monts.
She glanced at him, not knowing what to say.
“Is it really necessary to post this on Monts?”
Because she wasn’t soone who liked posting on Monts, she couldn’t understand why he would do that.
Xiao Si replied, “It’s totally necessary. Of course, I have to show off a bit. I finally got my official status. Let’s see who dares to say I haven’t made it official now.”
Lan Yan: “…”
She sighed, “Alright, whatever.”
It hadn’t even been five minutes since Xiao Si posted it, and his Monts was already flooded with comnts.
After posting, he even sent a picture of the marriage certificate in a few group chats.
Gu Beiyan: [Congratulations, old Xiao finally made it, got a certificate. Not bad at all.]
Lu Zhiyang also sent two words: [Congrats.]
Wan Muqi comnted: [You show-off, aren’t you?]
Gu Beiyan said: [@Wan Muqi, he’s just showing off for you to see.]
Wan Muqi responded with a bunch of ellipses!
Xiao Si: [@Wan Muqi, no need to be upset, when An Mi grows up, you’ll be next.]
Wan Muqi: …
Mrs. Xiao saw this Monts post and imdiately made a call.
Mrs. Xiao started with, “You brat, where’s Yanyan?”
Xiao Si was speechless, “Ms. Liang, if you want to talk to your daughter-in-law, why are you calling ?”
Mrs. Xiao: “Aren’t you two together? Who cares who I call?”
“Yes, so? What instructions do you have?”
“Did you get the certificate?”
“Didn’t you see it? Could it be fake?”
Xiao Si knew she must have called after seeing his Monts post.
Mrs. Xiao confird once more, “Are you sure you didn’t lie to ?”
“Ms. Liang, could I fake sothing like this?”
As soon as he finished speaking, Liang Yun on the other end of the line burst into laughter.
Xiao Si: “…”
Mrs. Xiao said “good” three tis in a row: “Good, good, good, as long as you’ve got it, now Yanyan is truly part of the Xiao family.”
“By the way, I’m organizing a dinner tonight. Let’s have a al together with Yanyan’s father and aunt.” Mrs. Xiao rambled on: “You two don’t need to worry about this; I’ll arrange it. I’ll also inform the Wei family, and I’ll send you the ti and place in a bit.”
Then, after a few more words, she hung up the phone.
Xiao Si: “…”
Lan Yan looked at him and asked, “What did Aunt Yun say?”
“Ms. Liang said she wants to arrange a dinner tonight and told us not to worry; she’ll take care of everything.”
“Uh, alright.”
“…”
7:30 PM.
Taoyao Inn.
Lan Yan and Xiao Si had just arrived when they ran into Wei Yuning and Wei Junyao.
“Sis.”
As usual, when Wei Yuning saw Lan Yan, she rushed into her arms.
Lan Yan didn’t deliberately avoid her.
However, each ti, she’d be stopped by Xiao Si.
But this ti, Xiao Si didn’t stop her and generously let her hug Lan Yan.
Wei Yuning was stunned.
She couldn’t help but ask, “Why didn’t you stop this ti?”
Xiao Si said, “I’m in a good mood; I’m not going to argue with you this ti.”
Wei Yuning didn’t have his WeChat, so she hadn’t seen his Monts post.
Lan Yan hadn’t told her either, so she actually didn’t know why they were having dinner today.
She ca just because she knew she’d see Lan Yan.
“Good mood? Won the lottery?” Wei Yuning asked.
Xiao Si: “I’m not so short on money that I’d need to buy lottery tickets.”
Wei Yuning rolled her eyes, “Tch, so what if you have money.”
Xiao Si: “Having money is pretty great, actually. If you don’t like money so much, why not stop working and using money.”
She pouted, “…I never said I didn’t like money.”
Seeing he had nothing more to say, she could only ask Lan Yan.
“Sis, what’s up with him today?”
Lan Yan said, “Nothing, he’s always moody like this.”
After she finished speaking, she turned to Wei Junyao, “Uncle, shall we go in?”
Wei Junyao nodded.
Mr. Xiao and Mrs. Xiao, along with Wei Ting and his wife, had arrived early.
The elders of both families were already chatting warmly.
As soon as Lan Yan entered, Mrs. Xiao took her hand and made her sit beside her.
“Yanyan, are you hungry?” Mrs. Xiao asked.
Lan Yan shook her head, “I’m okay.”
“Sorry, Aunt Yun, for keeping you waiting. We ca too late.”
Mrs. Xiao: “It’s all right, no problem. We didn’t have anything else to do, so it doesn’t matter if we ca early. You young people have to work; it’s fine if you’re a bit late. I’ve already ordered the dishes, so they won’t take long.”
At this mont, Gao Han said, “Ah Yun always arranges everything so thoughtfully, I can’t even be of help.”
Mrs. Xiao also smiled and said, “I’m the best at handling such things. Leave it to , and you won’t have to bother. After all, we’re all family, so it doesn’t matter who arranges it. I’d rather take care of it.”
Gao Han: “Xiao Yan is so lucky to have such a great mother-in-law; it’s like a treasure.”
“Not at all, I’m the one who found a treasure in Yanyan. Having her as my daughter-in-law is basically my good karma from a past life.”
Xiao Si sat down only to listen to the two of them boasting about each other.
“Together you both are over a hundred years old, yet you can’t stop complinting each other. This wife is mine; I’m the one who found her. Why does it seem like I have nothing to do with it?”
Mrs. Xiao gave him a glare, “Are you jealous of even this?”
Xiao Si: “…”
At this point, Wei Yuning said, “Aunt Yun, brother-in-law was so generous today. He even let hug my sister. Normally, he would have stopped and pushed away.”
Mrs. Xiao pointed out, “That’s because he’s happy today, and of course, he won’t stop you. He got the certificate with your sister today and is officially part of the family.”
Upon hearing this, Wei Yuning looked at Xiao Si with a face of realization, “Oh, I see. That’s why he’s so generous and open today.”
“…”
As the conversation went on, Gao Han said, “Now that Yanyan has found a good match, I wonder when my troubleso girl will find a good man. I’m worried sick my hair will turn white.”
Wei Yuning frowned, “Why does the conversation always end up on ? I’m still young; there’s no rush.”
“Young? At 24, you’re not so young anymore. Once you’re in a relationship, you won’t be considered young.” Gao Han continued nagging.
“…”
Xiao Si’s gaze inadvertently fell on Wei Junyao, who was calmly sipping tea.
Then he casually said, “Aunt Han, you shouldn’t worry. Yuning’s Mr. Right might be closer than you think, right?”
Wei Junyao’s hand paused slightly on the water cup, and his gaze flickered towards Xiao Si.
Gao Han asked in confusion, “Huh? Closer than I think? Who?”
Even Wei Yuning looked at him with a puzzled expression, “Seriously, brother-in-law, you’re making up stories about right in front of ?”
