Song Qingchun’s lips curved upwards as she flipped through the row of suit jackets to find the one that best matched the outfit he was going to wear. She finally found one. As she turned around to pass it to Su Zhinian, she felt some hard objects in the pocket. She reached into it without much thought and hauled the stuff out. Two red booklets appeared in her hands.
Su Zhinian was facing away from Song Qingchun and standing before the mirror to fix his tie, still immersed in the earlier scene. His smile turned brighter and brighter before he laughed out loud, saying, “Tingting, you are really my idol!”
Song Qingchun didn’t pay any attention to what he was saying as she stared at the gilded words printed on the cover of the booklets. She frowned. Marriage certificate? Between who?
Song Qingchun flipped open the book jacket and saw a picture of herself and Su Zhinian. When did I get a marriage certificate with Su Zhinian? Why do I have no recollection of this?
Haven’t we discussed this earlier? We’re going to postpone the wedding until after the childbirth. I want to be able to fit into the wedding dress, and he promised me a romantic proposal and lavish wedding. We will then go to the registry the day after to register our marriage… That was what we have agreed upon, wasn’t it‽
Su Zhinian, who was done with the tie, urged Song Qingchun, “Tingting, please hand me a jacket!”
The date on this certificate is eight months ago… The second day after Song Empire’s anniversary event. This means that Su Zhinian snuck to do this the day after he knew everything was safe? Plus, I’m in the picture, so he used his superpowers to do this?
“Tingting…” Su Zhinian, who waited for the jacket, repeated his request, but before he could finish, something slapped him heavily on his body. Su Zhinian thought it was the jacket, so he reached out to grab it, but it turned out to be a red booklet.
He was confounded for a second, and before his brain caught up to the situation, another booklet landed on his chest.
Su Zhinian whipped his head up, and when he saw the dark expression on Song Qingchun’s face, he was so scared that his legs felt like giving at that moment. “Please let me explain…”
Before he could finish, Song Qingchun hissed through gritted teeth, “Su Zhinian, I demand a divorce!”
F*ck! I thought I’d kept this secret so well! Is she a bloodhound reincarnated or something‽
At the time, he had been too excited after finding out she wasn’t his biological sister. Afraid that there might be unforeseeable changes, he had controlled her mind and snuck to the government department under the cover of the night to rush the marriage certificate…
Now, here we are… Su Zhinian’s heart shivered at the term ‘divorce’, and he hurriedly admitted his mistake. “This is all my fault. You can ask for anything you want in compensation, but can we please discuss this? Don’t divorce me…”
“No, there is no discussion; there can only be a divorce! Divorce! Divorce! Divorce!” A person could only experience registering for their marriage once in their life—or at least she only wished to do it once—so how could he deprive her of that experience‽
But… divorcing after registering will show up in our records that we’ve been divorced!
As Su Zhinian tried his best to come up with a way to remove this thought from Song Qingchun’s mind, he pleaded to buy some time, “Tingting…”
