The three women stood up together and watched Shen Zihao walk in with big steps.
Xia Nuannuan stepped two steps forward, as if welcoming him. But she saw that he was slightly shocked when he saw her.
When they met, she would usually be donned in casual clothes with little makeup on.
But at that moment, she had put on makeup and looked fresher and more attractive.
Moreover, the clothes she was wearing suited her temperament, making it an unforgettable sight for others.
There was no doubt that Xia Nuannuan was really beautiful.
But only at this exact moment, Shen Zihao realized that Xia Nuannuan could actually be that stunning.
Qiao Lian gave him a surrept.i.tious wink and said, “You must be stunned by her looks, right? Isn’t our Xia Nuanuan really beautiful today?”
Xia Yehua also smiled and said, “Today is a good occasion, that is why one must dress prettily! You guys should go to get your marriage certificate as soon as possible and bring it back. In the afternoon…”
After saying so, she looked at Shen Zihao and continued, “If your dad has prepared a feast, both of you should attend. If not, come back for lunch in the afternoon and we will celebrate together with you.”
Xia Nuannuan’s face turned red and she looked down shyly without saying a word.
Shen Zihao recovered from his daze at that instant and coughed. “Ermmm, there are some unexpected changes with this matter.”
Confused, Xia Yehua asked, “What happened?”
Shen Zihao said with a pale face, “My dad accidentally wet the household registration booklet and also damaged one of the pages, rendering the household registration booklet unusable. He has gotten someone to fix it, but until then, we cannot register our marriage.”
After hearing that sentence, Xia Yehua’s expression froze.
Qiao Lian frowned and could not help but sneer, “This household registration booklet really got spoiled at the best moment!”
Shen Zihao felt a little awkward, and he looked at Xia Nuannuan. “I will inform you of the exact date.”
Without the household registration booklet, they could not register their marriage.
Although Xia Nuannuan felt disappointed, she quietly sighed in relief.
Actually, she really hadn’t gotten used to such quick process.
Luckily, the marriage process had slowed down, allowing her to take a breather.
At that moment, Xia Nuannuan’s phone started ringing.
She frantically fished her phone out of her bag and instantly answered when she saw who was calling. “Yes, Dad?”
“What? Y’all have already reached Beijing?”
Stunned, Xia Nuannuan’s eyes widened and the person on the other side of the phone said, “That’s right, it’s such a big and joyous occasion that Nuannuan is getting her marriage certificate! Of course we had to rush over to Beijing. Although you said you would register the marriage before the wedding dinner, but we should also have a small gathering tonight, am I right?”
Xia Nuannuan, not knowing how to reply, reluctantly agreed, “Yes, right, right…”
But now, how was she supposed to tell them that they wouldn’t register their marriage?!
Her dad continued speaking, “Nuannuan, what time are you going to the munic.i.p.al government bureau? Do find a decent hotel to hold the wedding dinner, there is no need to be thrifty for this important occasion, ok?”
Xia Nuannuan took in a deep breath and replied nodding, “Yes, Dad, I know.”
After she hung up, Xia Yehua was also stunned. “Now that the in-laws have come, what do we do?”
How would they pay their respects to their in-laws without the marriage certificate?
Just as they were fretting over the problem, Shen Liangchuan came downstairs and said, “It is alright even if your household registration booklet is damaged. I have a friend working in the police station, I can give him a call. You can register your marriage at the arranged time.”
After hearing this, Shen Zihao eyes brightened up and he said, “Sure!”
