Chapter 227: Side Story (8)

She wanted to be good to Xie Qin and wanted to put him first in everything.

That was why Shen Li set the date for their marriage registration on his birthday.

Anyway, it was all about celebrating the anniversary; to Shen Li, it didn't make much difference. He didn't have much interest in these special holidays and wouldn't really care to remember them. Apart from the New Year, Shen Li only remembered Xie Qin's birthday.

However, Xie Qin was quite hesitant.

His birthday was still two months away.

It was still a bit long.

Shen Li's birthday was next year.

That was even longer.

Xie Qin seemed unable to wait, but Shen Li felt it didn't matter; her goal was to register the marriage with him anyway, so any day was a good day for her.

The two chose back and forth.

Finally, the date was set for November 11th.

This day represented "forever."

She liked this day.

And looked forward to it coming soon.

Shen Li scrolled through the calendar.

In the blink of an eye, October passed.

November in Wuchuan was even colder.

On the day Xie Qin and Shen Li went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to register their marriage.

Xie Qin wore a formal black suit with a gray shirt inside. Shen Li wore a white dress, and Xie Qin, fearing she would be cold, made her wear a black coat over it and wrapped a red scarf around her when they went out.

Lining up to enter the Civil Affairs Bureau, the procedure was not complicated.

After a dozen minutes.

Xie Qin held her hand as they walked out of the Civil Affairs Bureau.

He suddenly stopped. "Wait a second."

Shen Li looked at him: "What's wrong?"

Xie Qin met her eyes: "Let's take a photo."

Shen Li: "Then I want to take one too."

Xie Qin rarely posted on his Moments; the last time he posted was six years ago.

The day he and Shen Li confirmed their relationship at Chengde University.

…

00:00

Xie Qin: 【Already have a partner, and furthermore, I've only ever dated this one.】

Below was a photo of Shen Li sleeping in his arms, held by Xie Qin without showing her face, their fingers interlaced.

…

Now, the second post.

13:14

Xie Qin: 【Married, do not disturb!】

Below was a photo of their marriage certificate.

In the photo, Xie Qin had deep features, mature and handsome, with a sense of youthful spirit still lingering between his brows.

The corners of his lips were slightly raised, and his eyes, which usually carried a hint of rebelliousness, were softened.

Shen Li wore a white dress, her skin fair, wearing light makeup. Her eyes were enchanting and beautiful, and the corners of her mouth were curved in a shallow arc.

At this moment, her smile was full of happiness.

Shen Li was still thinking about what to post when she saw the post Xie Qin had made.

The photo Xie Qin took was better than hers.

So she simply saved the photo he took.

And posted one herself.

Shen Li: 【Registered (smile)】

This tone was very Xie Qin.

After being with him for a long time.

Her tone had changed too.

A bit cocky and proud.

Xie Qin looked down at the "death smile" emoji she posted at the end and tsked. "What do you mean by posting this emoji? Are you that unhappy about registering with me?"

Shen Li looked up, her eyes innocent: "No, I'm very happy. Look, I even posted a happy emoji."

Happy?

Xie Qin raised an eyebrow at her, and after a while, he suddenly realized. "Ah. Happy." He nodded.

Seeing him like this, Shen Li felt a bit unsure: "Is there something wrong with this emoji? Then I'll delete it and edit it."

Xie Qin: "No need, post whatever you want."

Less than a minute later.

Both of their Moments were flooded with comments.

Xie's Mother: 【Congratulations, congratulations, my son has finally grown up and is getting married. Mother is very gratified. My daughter-in-law is so beautiful. (Rose)】

Xie's Father: Wishing the newlyweds a hundred years of harmony.

Xie Huai: Read.

As soon as it was posted, within a second, it was deleted and reposted: 【Happy wedding, brother and sister-in-law.】

Zhang Zixin: Blessings 99 (Heart)

Xu Zhouyuan: Blessings 99 (Heart)

Zhou Mingyu: Blessings 99 (Heart)

Qiao Lang: Blessings 99 (Heart)

Zhang Zixin: I'm really done, you have to follow along and post too. Can't you think of your own words? (Smile)

Xu Zhouyuan, sycophantically following: Exactly, everything has to follow what my wife posts.

Zhou Mingyu: You guys are amazing, us single dogs can't afford to provoke you. (Goodbye)

Qiao Lang:...

Shen Li's Moments were also flooded, mostly by classmates she knew in Germany, and some friends from the same department at Jiang University.

They all sent their blessings.

The girls at the studio saw the manager's post on Moments, and their hearts were all broken.

In the evening, Xie Qin hosted a dinner for everyone.

Xu Zhouyuan and the others didn't need to be polite with him at all.

They specifically chose the most expensive high-end restaurant in Wuchuan City.

Among them, Zhang Shanfeng, Ling Yan, and their children were also there.

Nine people booked a private room, and this meal did cost quite a bit, but it didn't bankrupt Xie Qin.

After the meal, Shen Li hugged the roses he gave her and returned home.

After registering, everything was settled.

It could be considered a perfect full stop in their lives.

The days that followed.

Shen Li was busy with her studies, rotating between the hospital, school, and home.

Xie Qin wasn't relaxed either; their studio was doing better and better, growing from a small studio into a company.

The company had already hired over fifty employees and rented two floors.

Xie Qin was also forced to get a promotion, from manager to vice president.

As for Xie Qin's own family business, he wasn't very interested in finance or real estate.

Xue Jingshu wasn't at the age of being senile yet, so she had to continue to take the position of company president.

The eldest son couldn't be relied on, so she had to pin her hopes on the younger son.

She didn't forget to brainwash Xie Huai, saying earnestly: "Your brother is married now and has a lot of pressure. In the future, you need to pay more attention to the company. Take care of your brother; getting married and having children costs a lot of money. In the future, you will be the pillar of the family, so you need to be sensible."

When Xue Jingshu said these things, Xie Huai was only thirteen or fourteen.

Xie Huai, munching on an apple, listened: "Mm, I will definitely let brother live a good life."

Xue Jingshu: "Truly mother's good eldest son."

Dingfeng Game Company obtained the operation agency rights from a foreign game company, and the game was about to be launched domestically, with game reservations already exceeding three million.

To get the game launched early, Xie Qin didn't work overtime and stay up late any less.

Being this busy.

In the blink of an eye, a year passed.

Shen Li was already in her second year of doctoral studies; this year, she wasn't too busy.

The wedding that had been postponed for so long had to be set, so her mother and Xie Qin's parents met in Di Du, checked the horoscopes of both sides, and selected a time.

However, Xie Qin wasn't satisfied after knowing the wedding date; when to get married was still for him to decide.

Finally, March 5th of the coming year was determined.

This day was the Awakening of Insects. ===== CHAPTER 228 =====
