Chapter 354 - Red Book
Song Xing Xing walked down the stairs and found Lu Xun standing at the end of the stairs, watching her. Their eyes met and his warm gaze made her heartbeat accelerate.
The way Lu Xun was staring back at her made her feel a little shy.
Lu Xun stared at her with a burning gaze. She had seen her many times but on this day, he thought that Song Xing Xing looked especially beautiful.
When he saw her paused in the middle, Lu Xun extended his hand at her, waiting for her to come down and put her and in his.
He recalled how she had asked him whether he wanted to get a marriage certificate with her a few days ago and smiled. Her tone was too casual as if she was asking him whether he wanted another bowl of rice.
Lu Xun had thought that he had misheard things until he saw the glint in her eyes.
He had never thought that Song Xing Xing would be the one to ask. Initially, Lu Xun had thought that he should wait for a while. However, the moment he heard from her that her father passed her the family registration book, Lu Xun was excited and had immediately agreed.
His lips curled into a bright smile as he recalled how chaotic it has been on that day.
Song Xing Xing shifted her gaze to his palm. Then, she continued to walk towards him and placed her hand in his. The man held her hand tightly, intertwining their fingers. Song Xing Xing thought that her hand was a little cold and his hand was especially warm.
She looked up and flashed him a smile. "How do I look?"
"Mmm... Beautiful." He leaned forward, wanting to kiss her lips. However, his lips then touched something else. Lu Xun gave her a puzzled look when he saw that she had placed her finger against his lips.
She won't let him kiss her?
"It took me a while to do my makeup. Let's not ruin it for now."
A light flickered in his eyes. Lu Xun let out a chuckle and kissed her finger instead. "Alright. Let's go."
He could always kiss her once she was officially his wife.
The words made his heart race. A strange feeling spread all over his body. Lu Xun had this feeling as if he was floating on a fluffy cloud.
All of a sudden, his steps halted. Lu Xun turned around looked at her with a serious look on his face. "Did you bring everything you need?"
Song Xing Xing looked into her purse and showed him the related documents she needed. "I have it all right here."
The tension on his face gradually disappeared. "Good."
The couple headed out, holding hands. Lu Xun led her into the vehicle and he drove off to the city center. It took them almost forty minutes to reach the place due to the traffic.
Song Xing Xing glanced at the person in the driver's seat and noticed that he was gripping the steering wheel a little tightly. His lips were pressed together tightly. Looking at him at this time made her want to laugh.
They found the closest parking spot and walked into the building. When they walked into the department, there was already a few couples inside, waiting for their turn to get their certificate.
After asking a few questions from an officer, Lu Xun filled out their forms, got their queue number, and pulled the girl to sit down on a bench to wait.
A few people glanced in their way and did a double-take, finding that this couple seemed a little familiar.
A girl who came to register her marriage with her long-time lover sneaked a photo of them and posted it on her social media to ask around about the couple's identity. Her friend quickly recognized Lu Xun and Song Xing Xing as she had seen their picture all over the internet not too long ago.
Just like that, the news that President Lu Xun of NEXT Group coming to the Civil Affairs Bureau with her fiance spread all over the internet.
However, the couple did not look at their phone once and had not noticed the excitement going on on the internet.
Fortunately, they had arrived earlier and there were not a lot of couples waiting. Soon, their number was called. The officer looked at the couple and frowned, finding that the couple seemed a little familiar. However, he was too busy with his work to figure out their identity.
After ensuring that everything was perfect, the officer quickly do his work and stamped on the red book.
"Congratulations." The officer merely glanced at them as he slid the red book on the counter. He tidied up his table a little bit and called the next number.
The couple walked to a corner to look at the red book. Lu Xun stared at their photos in the book and the corner of his lips tilted up.
"Let's go. Don't you still need to go to the office?" Song Xing Xing flashed him a teasing smile.
Lu Xun turned to the person by his side. He wanted to kiss her badly but knew that the girl would be too shy as they were still in a public place.
Finding that the crowd had started to build up, Lu Xun held her hand and the two walked out of the building.
However, before they stepped out of the building, they soon realized that something does not feel right.
It seemed that there were a lot of people gathering outside the building.
Just as they were wondering what was going on, Special Assistant Bei Yuan suddenly appeared in front of them. "President Lu."
"Why are you here?" Lu Xun asked. He remember that he only told Bei Yuan that he was going to show up at the office a little later as he had a private matter to attend to. He had never said anything about obtaining his marriage certificate.
"President Lu, there are a group of reporters waiting for you outside," Bei Yuan said.
"What?"
"Someone recognized you. The picture of you and Miss Song here had spread on the internet."
His gaze flickered. Lu Xun shot Song Xing Xing a helpless gaze.
None of them had expected that someone would recognize them when they appeared in this place.
