Chapter 78 The Little Trick of Playing Hard to Get
When the two arrived at the Civil Affairs Bureau, there was no one in line ahead of them, and the process went smoothly. After receiving the little red booklet, Yu Nanqing felt inexplicably dazed.
Shen Mochen showed her their previous marriage certificate once, when she yelled that he was a pervert and cursed his whole family to die a horrible death.
After seeing the marriage certificate, she was furious, but none of her remaining vocabulary for arguing was related to her family, causing her fighting power to drop to zero instantly. All she could do was glare at him with vicious and resentful eyes, and her catchphrase became "Get out."
"What are you thinking about, wife?" Shen Mochen called out with unusual ease, brushing against her ear, making her earlobes tremble with ticklishness.
Yu Nanqing glanced at him sideways and smiled gently, "I was wondering if we're moving too fast."
Her friends used to get married within two or three years.
Although she had actually known Shen Mochen for many years, to Shen Mochen, it had only been a few months since they met.
"No, I wanted to get married the moment I saw you." Shen Mochen hugged her, and as he spoke, his lips pressed against her face.
They kept gnawing and biting, without stopping.
Yu Nanqing was dazed by his kisses, collapsing into his arms and panting heavily. When she regained her senses, she suddenly remembered what he had just said.
She narrowed her eyes, looking suspicious. "You wanted to get a marriage certificate with me the moment you saw me?"
Shen Mochen paused, meeting her scrutinizing gaze, his throat tightening, “…Mm.”
He was slapped as soon as he finished speaking. The slap was soft and light, neither painful nor itchy, and he even felt a little good.
His Adam's apple bobbed as he stared at her, secretly hoping she might slap him again.
"Then why did you make me chase you for so long? At first, you even ignored me." Yu Nanqing glared at him.
"..." Shen Mochen was silent for two seconds, then leaned over and hugged her waist, looking up at her with pleading eyes, "Goodness, that was just a little trick of playing hard to get."
Yu Nanqing pouted, reached out and covered his alluring eyes, her ears turning red, "You bastard."
He Jing was the first to know about their marriage because Shen Mochen called him for two hours that night, and every sentence he spoke about his wife.
Not only did they show off, but they also subtly mocked him for being a bachelor.
He Jing suffered a heart attack and went to the living room to get a drink of water. But as soon as he opened the door, he saw his two kittens...
He was silent for two seconds, then quietly closed the door again, and suddenly felt an even stronger heart attack.
These days, even cats have wives, but he doesn't.
"He Jing, I'm taking my wife to Shangjing Mountain Villa next week. Please invite Zheng Xue and the others as well."
Shen Mochen squatted next to the doghouse in the living room, talking as he poured dog food into the dog bowl.
Qiuqiu stared longingly at the bag of dog food in his hand, its tail swirling like a propeller, and the dog bowl was almost gleaming from its licking.
After hanging up the phone, Shen Mochen slowly stood up, glanced at the stupid dog in front of him who had disturbed his time with his wife, and his gaze suddenly fell on the couple's plain ring that Yu Xiaoqing had bought for him today. His displeasure vanished instantly.
After admiring it for a moment, he poured more dog food for the silly dog in front of him, even patting its head with a cheerful expression, "Our Qiuqiu is still a single dog..."
Qiuqiu didn't even look up, hurriedly eating the dog food in the bowl.
After pouring enough for him, Shen Mochen put down the bag and slowly walked towards the living room.
He should be spending this day making love with his wife in bed, celebrating this wonderful day.
It's all that stupid dog's fault. Why did it have to get sick now of all times?
He had to rush back, only to find that the dog had just eaten too much.
The vet gave me an enema at noon, and I pooped a lot. I was able to eat again in the evening.
He really is a good-for-nothing.
I lay lazily on the sofa for a while when my phone on the coffee table rang.
Shen Mochen's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly answered the phone, "Wife~"
"Shen Mochen, is Qiuqiu feeling any better?" Yu Nanqing looked at the handsome face opposite the camera, her ears turning red from the way he blurted out the name.
Seeing that she immediately expressed concern for the silly dog, Shen Mochen frowned, but in order not to appear as a stingy man, he suppressed his displeasure and patiently replied, "It's perfectly fine."
"Point the camera at it, let me see." Yu Nanqing glanced at the group chat on the tablet, and seeing that no one was replying, she moved back and sat on the sofa.
Shen Mochen paused, let out a soft breath, got up and walked towards the dog that was eating like a fool, deliberately pointing the phone camera at its big face.
"Shen Mochen, move it further away, I can't see it." All Yu Nanqing could see was a dog's nose covered in dog food.
As soon as he finished speaking, the field of vision widened, and Qiuqiu's full appearance was revealed in the video.
Yu Nanqing raised her eyebrows and called out to it.
Upon hearing the sound, Qiuqiu, who was eating, completely changed her previous indifferent attitude towards Shen Mochen. She leaned close to the phone, shaking her ears and wagging her tail frantically.
Shen Mochen was stunned for two seconds, taken aback by its abnormal speed. He sneered and pulled his hand back to point the phone at himself. "Yu Xiaoqing, you've said ten sentences to it."
Yu Nanqing was slightly taken aback. Meeting his jealous face, she smiled ingratiatingly, "Husband."
Shen Mochen, who was about to lie back on the sofa, froze. He stared at Yu Nanqing on the other end of the phone, feeling restless and worried that he might not be able to sleep tonight.
"Say it again, sweetie." He turned on the recording, watching her expectantly with restrained eyes.
Yu Nanqing's ears turned bright red. She had called Shen Mochen "husband" before, but it was always a perfunctory response without any emotion. She felt rather embarrassed to call him "husband" with real affection.
"Good girl..." Shen Mochen clutched the pendant he had snatched from her bag and called out again pleadingly.
"Husband, husband, husband." Yu Nanqing fiddled with the hem of her clothes and called out three times in a row, then buried her head in the pillow in shame.
Like a turtle, it retreats into its shell, preparing to escape reality.
The two video-chatted for nearly an hour until Yu Nanqing yawned from sleepiness, at which point Shen Mochen reluctantly hung up.
--
Xia Yue was the second person to know that Shen Mochen and Yu Nanqing had registered their marriage.
After hanging up on Shen Mochen that night, He Jing sent a message to Xia Yan. Coincidentally, Xia Yue was playing a game on Xia Yan's phone. When she saw the message, her expression stiffened slightly, and the corners of her eyes instantly turned red.
When Xia Yan came out of the shower, she saw her staring blankly at the table, ignoring the curses coming from the game.
Her brow twitched slightly, her hand pausing as she dried her hair. She bent down to pick up her phone, just about to ask her what was wrong, when she glanced at the chat pop-up on her phone.
When she saw He Jing's message that Shen Mochen and Yu Nanqing had registered their marriage, she wasn't very surprised; instead, she felt a bit conflicted.
She exited the game, tossed her phone onto the sofa, glanced down at Xia Yue on the sofa, pulled out a handkerchief, leaned closer, and said, "Oh, is our little princess about to cry?"
