Jiang Yumiao's face was scarlet. He simply couldn't summon the courage to say it a second time.
He hastily changed the subject. "I-I'm hungry. Let's get going!"
Ning Chunchi watched him for a while, his gaze inscrutable. Jiang Yumiao couldn't tell what he was thinking.
Just as Jiang Yumiao was about to buckle under the alpha's gaze, Ning Chunchi handed him the marriage certificates, finally looked ahead, and started the car.
When they arrived at the barbecue restaurant, they had barely settled into their seats in a private room before Jiang Yumiao's phone began vibrating like mad, followed by the distinctive long vibration of an incoming call.
He habitually put his phone on vibrate or silent when he was out.
Jiang Yumiao checked the screen. It was Director Yang, whom he hadn't heard from in days.
He answered. Even without speakerphone, Director Yang's booming voice reached Ning Chunchi across the table loud and clear.
"Yumiao, you-you and Ning Chunchi registered your marriage?!"
Jiang Yumiao: "..."
Although he had prepared himself for everyone to find out right away, he hadn't expected it to happen this quickly. He hadn't even had lunch yet.
He answered honestly, "Mm... yes!"
Director Yang marveled on the other end for a while, then asked, "Congratulations on making it official! When are you planning to hold the wedding?"
He felt he absolutely had to sit at the head table at Ning and Jade Together's wedding reception.
Jiang Yumiao looked to Ning Chunchi for help. He genuinely didn't know when they would hold it.
Catching his look, Ning Chunchi said, "We haven't decided yet. I'd like it to be as soon as possible, but the wedding is for both of us. I need to discuss it with Miaomiao before we settle on a date."
"Ohhh," Yang Qi said.
