This Is Way Too Hasty

Xu Yanche heard the sound of running water from the bathroom and knocked on the door with his knuckles. "Hello, handsome. What a coincidence. Need me to comfort your wounded heart?"

He Qing, who was showering, refused coldly. "No."

Xu Yanche chose to hear only what he wanted to hear.

"You said yes. Hehe, I'm coming in."

[Roar, roar, roar! Watching a handsome guy shower.]

Xu Yanche opened the bathroom door and walked right in.

Through the swirling steam, he saw He Qing's back.

He Qing finally lost his patience and turned to glare at Xu Yanche. "Get out."

Xu Yanche had no intention of leaving. He stood at the bathroom door and watched He Qing shower.

"I won't disturb you. I'll just squat here."

Once awake, He Qing's brows and eyes were sharp and cold, his expression aloof and rarely revealing anything.

He Qing beckoned to Xu Yanche. "Come here."

Xu Yanche: "!"

[Hehe, handsome guy, here I come.]

Xu Yanche had originally not wanted to go beneath the showerhead. He did not want to get his pajamas wet.

But He Qing grabbed him and pulled him in.

[Is He Qing in heat or something... Has he been possessed?]

He Qing was a little angry.

"Last night, I lost control. Since I did that sort of thing, I'll take responsibility. Let's go get our marriage certificate later."

[What sort of thing?]

Xu Yanche was completely dazed right now.

With a handsome man in his arms, he had no room to think.

He Qing had not expected to receive that answer.

It made He Qing very happy.

Though he was delighted inside, he still put on a blank expression. "Mm."

He leaned against He Qing's chest.

He could not understand how things had turned out like this.

He carried Xu Yanche out of the bathroom.

In the storage room, He Qing dug out a set of matching couple's outfits.

After changing himself, he thoughtfully helped Xu Yanche change as well.

"Let's get the marriage certificate, then take our mom out for a meal."

Hearing that made Xu Yanche even happier.

"Okay."

He Qing felt that the advice his good friend had given him yesterday was quite useful.

His little wife's expression had visibly brightened.

Xu Yanche excitedly jumped off the bed and went to get ready.

He Qing watched Xu Yanche's cheerful retreating figure.

His mood was infected by it too.

It seemed his little wife had a very good relationship with his adoptive mother.

He silently considered what gift he should bring Jinshu after they got their certificate.

After packing his things, Xu Yanche happily skipped downstairs.

By then, the kitchen had already been cleaned spotless. The chefs had prepared a few simple home-cooked dishes.

They were laid out on the table, so Xu Yanche and the others could make do with them if they got hungry.

The kitchen had suffered too badly.

Looking at the home-cooked dishes on the table, Xu Yanche happily called toward the second floor, "Qingqing Darling, hurry downstairs and eat! After we eat, we'll go get our marriage certificate."

The servants in the villa sucked in sharp breaths.

They had not expected He Qing and Xu Yanche's relationship to be so good that they were already calling each other darling.

When He Qing came downstairs, Xu Yanche was already devouring his food.

"Didn't we agree to eat together?"

Why had he started eating alone? Was he not going to wait for him?

Xu Yanche looked at He Qing as if he had seen a ghost.

[Can't this guy just finish speaking normally? Why did he suddenly use that breathy voice? But it's not greasy at all.]

His body shuddered. Why was He Qing like this? He could just talk normally, so why was he putting on that coquettish voice? It was too strange.

Xu Yanche placed food into He Qing's bowl. "Qingqing Darling, eat up. These green beans are good, this eggplant is good, and these fried eggs are good too."

Before long, He Qing's bowl had been piled into a small mountain.

It was filled entirely with the food Xu Yanche had served him.

"Qingqing Darling, sometimes, you really shouldn't cook. Besides, everyone has different strengths, so your job is to work hard and make the company flourish."

[That way, I'll have lots of pocket money.]

He Qing asked, "What does our mom like?"

Xu Yanche thought for a moment. "She wants me to be safe and healthy."

He Qing asked, "What else?"

Xu Yanche frowned and thought for a while. "She likes fruit, meat, and cake."

[Actually, Mom likes lots of things: pretty clothes and jewelry, delicious food, delicate pastries, cosmetics, and cake. But our family wasn't well-off back then, so Mom always saved money and couldn't bear to spend it. She said money should be spent where it mattered most.]

Although he had transferred several million to his mother a few days ago, based on what he knew about her, she probably would not buy a bunch of things for herself. She would not enjoy it; she preferred saving it.

After eating, Xu Yanche and He Qing got into the car headed for the Civil Affairs Bureau.

Though Xu Yanche did not look nervous at all on the surface.

He was still a little nervous inside.

He Qing listened to Xu Yanche's thoughts.

His movements were slightly stiff as he reached out and patted Xu Yanche's head. "Nervous?"

A mighty man would never admit to being nervous.

He patted his chest proudly. "I'm not nervous at all."

By the time Xu Yanche came out holding the little red booklet, he still had not quite processed it. "W-We just got our marriage certificate like that? This is way too hasty."
