Chapter 220 Received the Certificate

The two took a lot of beautiful photos that day and are now waiting at home for the photographer to edit the photos and send them the finished products.

The other party was also very efficient. The next day, he sent the electronic version of the repaired photos to Xia Anruo and asked her whether she was satisfied.

Chu Ze and Xia Anruo looked at the wedding photos sent to them on WeChat yesterday. They were wearing all kinds of clothes. There were campus style, ancient style, Western style...

Each one is very good.

Of course they had all seen how the photos turned out yesterday when they were finished, but now after the retouching, the finished product looked noticeably more refined.

However, because these are wedding photos to be registered, they certainly cannot be overly retouched like ordinary photos or promotional photos. Fortunately, with Xia Anruo's appearance, there is no need for major retouching. The photographer said that the workload is mainly concentrated on Chu Ze.

Chu Ze: Thank you so much.

The photographer is indeed a professional. After seeing the photos, both of them were very satisfied and there was no need to modify anything.

So two days later she sent all the developed photos to me.

After receiving the photos, the two of them carefully selected them and finally chose the photo in JK uniform to register, as it looked more energetic.

Time flies and it is December 20th.

The two of them dressed up beautifully, took their household registration books, ID cards and photos, and confirmed that nothing was missing before going out together and driving to the Jiangcheng Civil Affairs Bureau.

After parking the car, the two held hands and stopped in front of the Civil Affairs Bureau.

"Are you nervous?" Chu Ze pinched Xia Anruo's smooth jade hand and turned to ask her.

"It's just getting a certificate, why are you so nervous?" Xia Anruo straightened her hair and asked in a relaxed tone.

"Once we step through this door, when we come out, we will be husband and wife." Chu Ze said softly.

"We have been like this for a long time." Xia Anruo said softly.

Apart from this certificate, there is no difference between them and a married couple.

Therefore, there was no major emotional fluctuation in the hearts of the two at this time. It was a natural process, and it was supposed to be this way.

Because it is not a holiday today, there are not many people registering for marriage in the Civil Affairs Bureau, and even fewer than the number of divorces next door.

Because Xia Anruo had made an appointment in advance and explained the situation to the staff, a special channel was specially prepared for them.

While reviewing the materials submitted by the two, the staff secretly looked at Chu Ze...

This An Ruo’s boyfriend, no, he will soon be her husband.

So now he is An Ruo's half-husband.

She didn't know Chu Ze and was very curious about who An Ruo's boyfriend was who was so hidden. He obviously didn't look like a celebrity and was probably not from the entertainment industry.

Although Chu Ze is also considered a famous author, the popularity of online writers is definitely not comparable to that of singers and movie stars. Even if they have heard of the name Tiancan Digu, many people don’t know what the author looks like.

Even if you know what it looks like, you may not be able to recognize it in real life.

This is also the reason why Chu Ze does not have to cover up so tightly like Xia Anruo when going out. If you are not the kind of person who shows up in public all day and relies on your looks to make a living, not many people will recognize you when you walk on the street.

So it is normal that the staff does not know Chu Ze.

Looking at the staff reviewing the information, Chu Ze and Xia Anruo looked at each other.

Xia Anruo had said before entering that there was nothing to be nervous about, but Chu Ze could still see a hint of nervousness mixed with excitement and joy in her eyes...

When you get your marriage certificate for the first time in your life, even if you are really calm, it is impossible for there to be no fluctuations at this moment.

Chu Ze felt the same way at this moment.

The same tension, the same excitement, the same anticipation.

A few minutes later, the materials were reviewed and there were no problems. The marriage certificate was also processed very quickly. Before long, the staff pasted photos in front of the two of them, stamped them, and the two marriage certificates were completed.

"Mr. Chu, Miss Xia, I wish you a happy marriage."

The staff handed over the completed marriage certificate and offered their blessings.

"Thank you."

The two thanked him and then extended their hands with excitement.

When they carefully took the red book from the staff, they all looked a little dazed...

Finally getting married?
Even after they left the Civil Affairs Bureau and got into the car, they still couldn't believe it.

It's that simple?
In less than half an hour, the two went from being lovers to husband and wife.

"Are we a legal couple now?" Chu Ze sat in the passenger seat and looked at the red book in his hand again and again, unable to believe it.

"Now, should I call you husband?" Xia Anruo turned her head, shook the red book that belonged to her in her hand, and looked at him with a smile.

"Then I should call you my wife, even though I've been doing that for a long time."

The two smiled at each other. Chu Ze stretched out his hand, and Xia Anruo gently placed her jade hand in his palm, interlocking their fingers.

"Mr. Chu, please take care of me for the rest of my life." Xia Anruo's eyes were tender.

"Please take care of me."

Chu Ze also responded softly, then leaned forward, hugged her tightly, found her lips, and kissed her gently.

Xia Anruo also hugged Chu Ze tightly and responded enthusiastically, her face full of happiness.

……

After getting the certificate, Chu Ze’s first thing was to take Xia Anruo home to meet his parents.

As soon as they got home and opened the door, Jiang Huiqin, who was watching a TV series with Chu Mingtao in the living room, was surprised to see them coming back. "Why did you come back so suddenly?"

"Bring Ruoruo to see you." Chu Ze said with a smile.

"Uncle and aunt."

Xia Anruo greeted him very obediently.

The mentality behind shouting out this time is completely different from before.

Now she is truly visiting the family for the first time as a daughter-in-law, and this place will be her home from now on.

"An Ruo is here." Jiang Huiqin also smiled and nodded, then stood up from the sofa, "An Ruo, please sit down first. Auntie will wash the fruit for you."

"No need to bother, Auntie." Xia Anruo said politely.

Jiang Huiqin waved her hands quickly: "It's no trouble, it's no trouble, what's the trouble with washing fruit..."

As he was about to go to the kitchen, he hadn’t even taken two steps…

"oops."

Suddenly, Chu Ze shouted in a very artificial voice, and then with a click, a red notebook fell out of his clothes and landed on the ground.

"What's wrong?" Chu Mingtao turned his head to look.

Jiang Huiqin also turned around in a hurry, thinking that something had happened to Chu Ze.

"Something accidentally dropped."

Chu Ze squatted down muttering something in a mysterious manner and picked up the red book on the ground. He deliberately turned the cover towards Chu Mingtao, and then pretended to blow away the dust on it.

Chu Mingtao saw three big words on the cover: Marriage Certificate.

"Wait, what is this?" Chu Mingtao rubbed his eyes, wondering if he was dazzled. "Nothing, just today Ruoruo and I went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to register, and they gave me a notebook, I don't know what it is." Chu Ze pretended.

"..."

Seeing this nasty expression, Chu Mingtao wanted to pull out his belt and beat him.

"You... have you got the marriage certificate?" Chu Mingtao confirmed.

"Just received it today." Chu Ze smiled proudly.

Jiang Huiqin stared at the marriage certificate in Chu Ze's hand in a daze. Finally, she reacted and immediately reached out to take it and opened it. Looking at the photo of the two of them, she confirmed that it was real. Jiang Huiqin's eyes instantly revealed uncontrollable joy. She smiled with joy and kept muttering:

"Really, it's true."

"Mom, I married such a beautiful wife for you." Chu Ze put his arms around Xia Anruo's waist and said with a smile.

Xia Anruo blushed when she heard this, and glared at Chu Ze with her beautiful eyes.

"Good, good, that's great. Anruo will really become the daughter-in-law of our Chu family this time." Jiang Huiqin took Xia Anruo's hand and patted the back of her hand, unable to hide the joy in her eyes.

Xia Anruo also held Jiang Huiqin's hand. She felt warm in her heart seeing her mother-in-law so happy and enthusiastic.

Chu Ze was also very pleased to see the happy scene between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. He also caught a glimpse of Chu Mingtao sitting in front of the coffee table silently peeling walnuts. He suddenly felt a little happy and couldn't help asking, "Dad, why don't you say anything?"

After hearing her son's words, Jiang Huiqin also looked at her husband: "Your son is getting married, why do you look unhappy?"

"Happy, how could I not be happy, hahaha." When Chu Mingtao saw several people looking at him, he immediately put on a smile.

Then he stood up, walked to Chu Ze, patted Chu Ze's back, and said earnestly: "Since you are married, you must take responsibility, treat her well, and don't let An Ruo down."

"I know, I know, Dad, please stop taking pictures." Chu Ze covered his back and said in pain.

Comrade Lao Chu's strength has some ulterior motives.

If Chu Mingtao hits her twice more, Xia Anruo will become a widow.

Seeing that they had almost finished chatting, Jiang Huiqin quickly said, "Today is such a great day. I'll go buy some groceries. I have to cook a good meal today!"

"Mom, there's no need to be so troublesome." Chu Ze stopped Jiang Huiqin, not wanting her to be too busy.

"Yes, Auntie." Xia Anruo also held Jiang Huiqin's arm.

When Jiang Huiqin heard Xia Anruo's address, she suddenly frowned, looked at Xia Anruo's pretty face, and said with a joking smile: "Are you still calling me auntie now?"

Upon hearing this, Xia Anruo was stunned at first, then she immediately understood what Jiang Huiqin meant and her face turned red.

This means that she should change her words.

I have obtained the marriage certificate, and even though we haven't held a wedding, I am indeed the daughter-in-law of the Chu family.

She opened her mouth, lowered her eyes, and was a little shy. She moved her lips for a long time before she finally mustered up the courage and looked at Jiang Huiqin with a red face:

"...Mom." She shouted.

"Oh, okay, okay." Jiang Huiqin agreed happily.

"Dad." Xia Anruo shouted to Chu Mingtao again.

Chu Mingtao also nodded with a smile, but even now he still felt really awkward.

"By the way, Lao Chu, do I have to pay for changing my statement? I almost forgot about this." Jiang Huiqin suddenly realized.

According to the rules in Ancheng, if you want your daughter-in-law to change her words, you have to give her a red envelope as a fee for changing her words.

"No need, Mom, there's no need for so many rules." Xia Anruo said quickly after hearing this.

"That's right, as long as you get the point." Chu Ze also nodded.

"That won't work either. Wait, I'll give you a red envelope."

Jiang Huiqin shook her head and insisted on giving it. After that, she went back to the room. After a few minutes, she took out two thick red envelopes and gave them to Xia Anruo.

"We don't have much cash at home. Your father and I each give 10,000 yuan. I hope you don't think it's too little." Jiang Huiqin was afraid that she gave too little and Xia Anruo would be dissatisfied.

In her opinion, it would not be too much to give a few hundred thousand to marry a big star like Xia Anruo, since her family was not short of money anyway.

"Mom, you're so polite. Thank you, Mom, and thank you, Dad." Seeing this, Xia Anruo couldn't refuse and accepted it gratefully.

Chu Ze took advantage of the excitement and suggested: "Why don't we go out to eat tonight, go to a restaurant."

"That's good. We have to have a good meal on such a good day." Jiang Huiqin nodded in agreement. "It's a pity that Qingqing is not here, so we can't have this good fortune."

Chu Wanqing is still in school since the holiday hasn't started yet, so she definitely won't be able to come back.

"It's okay. Let's video call her while we eat and let her watch us eat." Chu Ze said considerately.

Chu Wanqing: I was so angry that I fainted because of this warm-hearted old man.

……

At the big restaurant, the family ordered a meal of delicacies from land and sea.

Chu Ze and the others were enjoying the meal, except Chu Wanqing who was cursing on the phone, saying that the food was only shown to her but not allowed to eat, which made her almost die of greed.

After eating, I stayed at home for one night.

The next day, the two came to the Xia family villa again.

After showing Xia Jianjun and Wang Yandan their marriage certificate, Wang Yandan was naturally very happy that her daughter finally got married.

Hearing Chu Ze change his words to call them mom and dad, Xia Jianjun felt mixed emotions, but he had to admit the fact that this boy was already his son-in-law.

After dinner, Xia Jianjun was alone in the yard, enjoying the cool breeze and smoking.

The wind is quite noisy tonight.

"dad……"

Suddenly, Xia Anruo's voice came from behind.

Xia Jianjun looked back and saw his daughter running to find him alone, and was a little surprised:
"Why are you out in such a cold weather? It's so windy outside, you might catch a cold."

"Shouldn't I be the one asking you this?" Xia Anruo asked back when she saw Xia Jianjun's face turned a little red from the wind.

"It doesn't matter if I catch a cold, but if you do, someone will feel bad." Hearing this, Xia Jianjun glanced at Chu Ze who was chatting with Wang Yandan in the room. There sounded an inexplicable jealousy in his words.

"You're going to catch a cold, won't mom and I be worried?" Xia Anruo walked to Xia Jianjun with a smile.

"You still feel sorry for me?" Xia Jianjun glanced at her.

"Is your daughter so unfilial?" Xia Anruo held Xia Jianjun's arm and said dissatisfiedly.

"Hmph, you don't come home all year round and go against me every day. Is this what a filial child would do?" Xia Jianjun snorted.

"It was you who taught me since I was a child to have my own opinions and not to follow other people's ideas. I have been following your teachings. How can you say that I am disobedient?" Xia Anruo smiled mischievously.

"You're just being rebellious, and you say it so nicely." Xia Jianjun couldn't help laughing when he heard this. It was rare for him to be amused by his daughter. "Now that you have a husband, your words are more pleasant to listen to than before."

In the past, Xia Anruo would have definitely said a few harsh words to him to make him angry, but now he would choose to say something nice to him.

I have to say that it has changed a lot compared to before.

After a girl gets married, things are indeed different from before.
