Nangong Jin thought he had misheard. He had always wanted to get married to An Nuan, but so much had happened recently that he even worried if An Nuan would be unhappy if he brought it up.
Nangong Jin, who was usually so steady, now had his face brimming with smiles. At this moment, his smile even looked a bit foolish. An Nuan almost couldn't bear to look.
She truly hadn't expected Nangong Jin to laugh so much when she said those words. It was as if he had a serious illness.
Yet, seeing how happy Nangong Jin was because she suggested getting a marriage certificate, she didn't know what to say.
In reality, Nangong Jin had always been the one giving his all for her. She should be more grateful to him.
However, Nangong Jin had always helped her without ever complaining.
The engagement banquet was ruined by the appearance of Xu Ruowei and Shen Xizhou. The marriage was further obstructed by Shen Xizhou's forced intervention.
So now, getting the marriage certificate was only a matter of time.
She knew that saying these words would make Nangong Jin happy, but she hadn't expected him to be *this* happy.
She thought that the marriage certificate would be her only security.
After all, she seemed to have nothing to give Nangong Jin. Everything she possessed now was given to her by him.
An Nuan watched Nangong Jin, thinking that meeting someone like him in this lifetime was a blessing from heaven.
It was the best gift heaven had given her.
Nangong Jin wished he could just drag An Nuan away immediately. But just as he took her hand, An Nuan stopped and didn't follow him.
Nangong Jin also stopped, turning to look at An Nuan with confusion in his eyes. He even wondered if she was regretting it.
At this moment, Nangong Jin was even thinking if his joy had turned into sorrow.
See, one really shouldn't get happy too early.
And now, the tragic consequence had arrived.
An Nuan looked at Nangong Jin's crestfallen expression and felt like laughing. She didn't even want to say any more explanations. She just wanted to tease Nangong Jin properly. At this moment, Nangong Jin didn't know how cute he looked. An Nuan even wondered if she should take a picture of the current Nangong Jin and show it to him.
"Are you sure you want to go get the marriage certificate at this time?"
"..."
Nangong Jin was confused. "At this time?" He looked around. Oh, it was midnight. Who gets married at midnight? Really, no one did.
He had truly gotten carried away with joy.
Nangong Jin held An Nuan's hand, his expression hesitant.
He seemed worried that if he let go of An Nuan's hand now, she might completely forget about it by tomorrow. What would he do then?
How would he even bring it up?
An Nuan looked at Nangong Jin's troubled expression and couldn't quite adapt.
Suddenly, she seemed to recall something.
"Are you worried that I'll go back on my word tomorrow morning?" As she said this, An Nuan couldn't help but laugh.
Seeing Nangong Jin's nervous look, she decided not to tease him anymore.
"Don't worry, I won't forget."
When Nangong Jin heard An Nuan say this, his face showed some difficulty.
"Then I'll come pick you up early tomorrow."
An Nuan nodded and said, "Okay."
...
The next day, Nangong Jin arrived early in the morning. He looked as if he hadn't slept at all.
However, there was not a trace of fatigue on his face. He still had a smile on his face, and even when he met people, he wasn't as cold as usual; instead, he kept smiling.
Nangong Jin arrived very early, but glancing at the time, it seemed too early. An Nuan was probably still asleep.
He checked the time again. An Nuan should be awake now.
He took out his phone, about to call An Nuan, when he saw the person standing in front of him and was stunned. He almost dropped his phone.
An Nuan looked too beautiful today, he couldn't take his eyes off her. He had always known An Nuan was beautiful, but he hadn't expected her to be so breathtakingly stunning.
An Nuan also noticed Nangong Jin's intense gaze, and she kept avoiding it.
However, as they arrived at the place to get the certificate and just got out of the car, they were surrounded.
"Nangong Jin, what's wrong? You're not giving Nuan Nuan anything, and you're just getting married? Do you think that's appropriate?"
"Yes, shouldn't you have some kind of gesture?"
"Nangong Jin, what are you thinking?"
An Nuan looked at everyone around her speaking up for her, and she felt touched.
These people were none other than Nangong Jin's family.
Yet, these people who stood by her side, who always spoke up for her, she was truly grateful.
Everyone around Nangong Jin doted on her and treated her very well.
"An Nuan, I'm telling you, you can't let this kid off easy," Grandpa Nangong patted An Nuan's shoulder, speaking words of comfort.
An Nuan looked at Grandpa Nangong, filled with emotion. All her life, she had heard people insult her, but Grandpa Nangong had always thought of her and spoken for her.
An Nuan looked at Nangong Jin for help.
Nangong Jin's hand felt like it was burning, and he said helplessly, "This... I really can't do anything about it."
"You know that once Grandpa decides something, it can't be easily changed."
An Nuan: "..."
It was true. But couldn't he at least help a little?
At this moment, An Nuan was surrounded by everyone's blessings.
Nangong Jin reached out and took An Nuan's hand, but Grandpa Nangong glared fiercely at Nangong Jin.
Nangong Jin looked utterly innocent and said, "Grandpa, I'm going to get the marriage certificate. If I don't take An Nuan with me, am I supposed to get the certificate alone?"
"Grandpa, do you think that's really appropriate?"
"Probably not."
When Grandpa Nangong heard this, he immediately reached out and slapped Nangong Jin on the head, gritting his teeth and saying, "You brat, then hurry up and go."
"You forgot something so important. What's the use of you?"
Nangong Jin was completely bewildered.
What did he mean by forgetting something so important? What did he mean by what's the use of him?
I was just about to say it. I wanted to take her away, but you all kept stopping me. What could I do? Why are you blaming me now?
