Chapter 17

In the evening at the main house .

Yue Gu Zai was awoken by a heavy pressure that was tossing and turning on top of him .

Yue Gu Zai and Zhen Zhen opened their eyes at the same time . Her frown changed to a smile after she saw his face .

‘Did you have a nightmare?’ Yue Gu Zai asked .

Yue Gu Zai helped Zhen Zhen find a more comfortable position to lay on his chest .

‘I dreamt Gu Zai was angry at me and left me,’ Zhen Zhen said . ‘Gu Zai, don’t be angry . I promise I won’t play all the time . ’

‘Ok, I won’t be angry,’ Yue Gu Zai said .

Yue Gu Zai remembered he didn’t think about risks when he saved Zhen Zhen . He couldn’t believe he loved seeing Zhen Zhen smile more each day .

‘I need to grow up faster,’ Zhen Zhen said . ‘I want to marry Gu Zai . ’

Yue Gu Zai was happy to hear Zhen Zhen wanted to marry him . ‘Why do you want to marry me?’

‘Because I love Gu Zai,’ Zhen Zhen said . ‘The Bai fox said sooner or later Gu Zai will get married . After Gu Zai is married, Gu Zai won’t love me anymore . I want Gu Zai to love me forever so I want to be Gu Zai’s wife . ’

Yue Gu Zai smiled . ‘If you want to marry me, you don’t need to wait . You can marry me now . ’

‘Really?’ Zhen Zhen asked .

‘Of course,’ Yue Gu Zai said .

Yue Gu Zai raised Zhen Zhen’s chin and he looked into her eyes .

‘Promise you won’t regret it?’ Yue Gu Zai asked .

Yue Gu Zai knew he wanted to lie to himself that Zhen Zhen would make an informed decision .

Zhen Zhen didn’t know what Yue Gu Zai’s words meant but she nodded her head .

‘I promise,’ Zhen Zhen said .

Yue Gu Zai didn’t care about his unhealed wound . He stood, held Zhen Zhen’s hand and they left their room together .

Bai Yu Tian was guarding outside the room . ‘Boss, where do you want to go?’

‘To register a marriage,’ Yue Gu Zai said .

‘Boss, you shouldn’t go outside,’ Bai Yu Tian said . ‘Your wound will take longer to heal . You don’t need to leave the house to register a marriage . ’

‘Ok, I’ll give you an hour to prepare the wedding ceremony,’ Yue Gu Zai said .

‘Yes boss,’ Bai Yu Tian said .

An hour later a frightened registered celebrant arrived at the main house .

‘I need the bride and groom to provide proof of their identities and the completed marriage registration form-’ the celebrant said .

‘How is boss supposed to give you everything you requested now?’ Huyen Di asked . ‘You only need to perform the ceremony and witness boss and Miss Zhen Zhen sign the marriage registration form . ’

The celebrant didn’t dare open his mouth . It was them who asked him to perform a proper wedding ceremony . He wisely pulled out a blank authorised marriage registration form .

‘If the bride and groom are willing to register their marriage then sign at the bottom of this form,’ the celebrant said .

Yue Gu Zai quickly signed the form while Zhen Zhen pointed at the form .

‘Do I only need to sign?’ Zhen Zhen asked .

The celebrant thought Zhen Zhen was tricked into marrying Yue Gu Zai . But Huyen Di gave him a warning look and he didn’t dare voice his concerns .

Bai Yu Tian opened a box of a pair of wedding rings . The celebrant was envious of the wedding rings . Even though the ring designs were simple, but they were expensive rings and it was his girlfriend’s favorite design . He would buy the same rings when he married his girlfriend if he could afford the rings .

Yue Gu Zai put the ring on Zhen Zhen’s ring finger .

‘Why do I need to wear this ring?’ Zhen Zhen asked .

‘You’re not allowed to take it off . ’ Yue Gu Zai said .

‘Oh, if we wear matching rings, does it mean Gu Zai is my man?’ Zhen Zhen asked .

Zhen Zhen mimicked Yue Gu Zai’s actions, she put the other ring on his finger .

Yue Gu Zai kissed the top of Zhen Zhen’s head .

‘That’s right, I’m your man,’ Yue Gu Zai said .

Zhen Zhen was satisfied with Yue Gu Zai’s answer and she smiled .

The celebrant was certain either the child bride had low IQ or she was tricked into marrying Yue Gu Zai .

After the celebrant officiated the wedding ceremony, Bai Yu Tian presented the celebrant a box of a wedding cup cake .

‘You’ve worked hard and earned this,’ Bai Yu Tian joked .

‘It’s ok, no need for gifts,’ the celebrant said .

The celebrant didn’t dare to eat anything given by anyone related to the groom .

‘You don’t need to be courteous, take it,’ Bai Yu Tian said .

‘It’s ok, I don’t need any gifts,’ the celebrant said .

Bai Yu Tian thought the celebrant’s refusal was rude .

‘Our boss always follow protocols,’ Bai Yu Tian said . ‘He asked me to prepare the wedding ceremony . I brought you here to perform the wedding ceremony, bought rings and prepared wedding cupcakes for wedding guests . Everyone here hates eating sweets, but they are eating the cupcakes to celebrate boss’ wedding day . You refusing to eat the cupcake will ruin boss’ good mood . ’

The celebrant didn’t want to offend the groom who looked like he was a mafia boss so he quickly accepted the box .

‘Of course I want to eat,’ the celebrant lied . ‘I wish eternal happiness for the newlyweds . ’

‘Thank you for wishing boss a happy marriage,’ Bai Yu Tian said . ‘Let me ask a driver to drive you home . ’

‘It’s ok, everyone here is busy,’ the celebrant said . ‘I don’t’ want to inconvenience anyone . I’ll make my own way home . ’

The celebrant didn’t dare have a mafia mobster drive him home .

‘If you’re adamant then I won’t insist,’ Bai Yu Tian said .

Outside the main house, the celebrant regretted his decision . Earlier he was too frightened to notice the route to the main house . He finally noticed the remote location of the main house . It was above a high mountain and there were no cars on the private road . It would take him a few hours to walk to the foot of the mountain . He turned around to ask for a driver, but the front gates were closed and he didn’t dare to press the intercom . He had no choice left but to slowly walk down the mountain .

Inside the main house, Chu Gian pitied the celebrant walking down the mountain .

‘Did he offend you?’ Chu Gian asked Bai Yu Tian .

‘It’s his fault,’ Bai Yu Tian said . ‘He delayed performing the wedding ceremony for thirty-seconds . I almost failed to prepare the wedding ceremony within the hour boss requested . Honestly I didn’t do anything to him . Didn’t you hear he wanted to find his own way home?’

Chu Gian laughed and Bai Yu Tian looked sincerely at her .

‘Marriage looks like an ideal dream,’ Bai Yu Tian said .

Chu Gian did love Bai Yu Tian, but she didn’t want to marry and have children at a young age .

‘I never thought about marrying and having children this soon,’ Chu Gian said .

‘It’s ok, I don’t mind marrying into your family,’ Bai Yu Tian said .

Chu Gian stayed silent . She looked at the calm Bai Yu Tian . She knew he was a prideful man so she didn’t understand why he was willing to let go of his pride to marry her and change his family name .
