Chapter 439: New Home

Mu Xichen held the two booklets. On each booklet were the words “Marriage Certificate” gilded in gold. It was exceptionally eye-catching.

It was only upon walking out of the Civil Affairs Bureau building that Li Beinian seemed more relaxed. She suddenly exclaimed, “We’re married, just like that?”

“Why?” Mu Xichen narrowed his eyes for a moment. There was a sense of danger as he stared at her and asked, “Do you regret it?”

That expression. That look. It was as though he’d devour her alive if she would even so much as utter a word to admit it.

This unfriendliness wasn’t too different from when he was holding that switchblade and brushing it against her throat, just before they walked into the Civil Affairs Bureau building.

Only, the earlier episode left her all tensed up with fright.

But now… the threat effect was no longer there.

She smiled again, uncontrollably, and reached out to tug at his marriage certificate, commenting, “What’s the use of regretting? If we were to walk into that building again and have a divorce status against our names in the marriage register, that would look exceedingly bad.”

Her tone was brisk and spirited. She took the two certificates and walked with light steps towards Bo Chengcheng’s white SUV without waiting for the man to react.

As he looked at her back view, his heart couldn’t stop palpitating.

He was married. They were now man and wife.

Lawful man and wife.

Man, Wife.

As he repeated those two simple words, it was as though something quietly melted inside, and his heart was full of joy and contentment.

Against the brightness of the afternoon sun, Li Beinian’s back view looked exceptionally attractive.

His lips parted and turned upwards in a smile, and a mellow glow suffused his face. He strode out to catch up with her.

From now on, they were man and wife.

They retrieved Mu Xichen’s document folder from Bo Chengcheng. At this point, Li Beinian’s stomach was rumbling with hunger.

Mu Xichen drove his own Spyker over. Li Beinian bade farewell to Bo Chengcheng and got into his car.

“I’m hungry,” she said, drumming on her cheeks. “I haven’t eaten anything since yesterday.”

“You seem to be in a good mood.” The man glanced at her and realized she was still holding their marriage certificates.

While the document folder that they had taken back from Bo Chengcheng had now been tossed to the backseat. Her eyes were only on the two marriage certificates, and she seemed completely uninterested in the documents in the folder.

She was flushed red, and a smile hung on her face.

She looked… very happy.

Mu Xichen was both extremely amazed and very puzzled.

She didn’t look averse to this, so why did she run away?

His eyes darkened. Looking ahead with knitted brows, he asked unhurriedly, “What do you feel like eating?”

“Noodles.” She glanced at him sideways, her face flushed. She giggled and suggested, “The noodles you made the other night were rather delicious.”

Her praise was unexpected, and he couldn’t stop himself from smiling. However, as quickly as it came, the smile disappeared. He said instead, “We’ll keep that for the next time. It’s our wedding night tonight.”

Wedding night…

Those words automatically brought back the memory of last night, causing Li Beinian to feel extremely embarrassed.

From the corner of his eye, Mu Xichen saw that she flushed once more.

It was too easy to guess what she was thinking.

His eyes darkened, and his tone unconsciously softened. “We’ll just have a casual meal, and we’ll go to our new home afterward.”

“New home?” She turned to look at him in surprise, asking with an expression of disbelief, “You’ve even prepared a new home for us?”

“Yes.”

She felt a little disappointed.

When she took the drugs and slept with him last night, it was just a decision made on the spur of the moment.

That she had been nabbed and brought to the Bureau to get married after an escape attempt was an impulse too.

So, for whom exactly did he prepare this new home?
