Chapter 179: 179: It might be a question of wanting to earn money to support the family
Finally, the two of them took their wedding photo, and when the staff asked if they both agreed, Cen Jin and Jiang Baizhou answered "I do" in unison.
When the official stamp was placed on the red booklets and handed over by the staff, Cen Jin hesitated to take it. It wasn’t until they were about to leave that the staff smiled and advised, "Wish you happiness and a long life together."
Cen Jin realized and quickly nodded with a smile in response, "Thank you, it was a hard work."
As they left the civil affairs bureau, the golden morning light bathed them. Cen Jin didn’t feel the scorching heat but rather felt very warm. Holding the red booklet in her hand, everything felt a bit unreal. As she opened the first page and looked at their wedding photo pasted inside, she noticed his shoulder was slightly higher than hers, their heads were close together, and their faces were filled with happiness and sweetness.
This might be the first time Cen Jin had seen him smile so genuinely and happily!
Suddenly, something came to mind. She remembered discussing earlier about how he always had a straight face in photos, devoid of expression. At that time, he had thoughtfully said, "There will be different times in the future."
Cen Jin paused, suddenly understanding the deeper meaning of his words, and her heart couldn’t help but race ’thump thump thump’.
It seems, their marriage began with a plan long devised by him.
"Jiang Baizhou, does it look good?" Cen Jin held up the two red booklets, turned around in the golden sunlight, and jumped in front of him, asking with a smile.
"Mm, it looks good." Jiang Baizhou nodded without hesitation, looking at her happy smile, his Adam’s apple moved slightly, and his eyes deepened.
"Then... shall we take a photo for the memory? Is that okay?" Knowing that Jiang Baizhou loves to collect SLR cameras, but isn’t fond of taking photos, but since this is a special occasion, Cen Jin tentatively asked.
"Okay." As expected, Jiang Baizhou did not refuse.
Hearing this, Cen Jin was overjoyed, immediately took out her phone and opened the camera, but unfortunately, her height didn’t match his, and she couldn’t capture more than half of his face when capturing herself, so she struggled with angles for a while. Jiang Baizhou seemed to be unable to look any longer and directly took her phone: "Let me do it."
"Okay." Cen Jin turned her head and smiled, then held up the two red booklets, making a very cute expression.
Jiang Baizhou also raised a smile, pressed the shutter, and after taking several shots, he arched an eyebrow, a streak of slyness passing by his heart. As she struck another pose ready for the photo, Jiang Baizhou suddenly called out, "Cen Jin."
"Hmm?" Cen Jin responded instinctively, turning her head to look at him. The hands holding the two red booklets had no time to lower, but just as she turned, Jiang Baizhou suddenly bent down to kiss her lips, at the same time pressing the shutter with the phone in his hand, freezing that sweet moment in the phone.
Cen Jin’s pupils widened in surprise, blinking blankly, a little dumbfounded.
Jiang Baizhou, triumphant in his scheme, raised his eyebrows, feeling deeply pleased, moved away from her lips, stood up straight, and reviewed the photos just taken, nodding in satisfaction with great pride, "Mm, as expected, my photography skills are the best, look, how good it looks."
"Jiang Baizhou, you rascal." Cen Jin came to her senses, immediately chased after him, and slapped his back.
Jiang Baizhou, however, reacted swiftly, catching her lightly tapping hand, pulling her into his embrace, saying matter-of-factly, "Call me husband, how can kissing one’s own wife be called rascal? I’m just doing what’s permitted with a license."
Cen Jin’s face turned red, casting a playful glare at him, just as she was about to retort, Jiang Baizhou showed her the phone, precisely the photo where he pulled his trick of kissing her, which, surprisingly, wasn’t blurry at all and even looked quite beautiful.
The background was the civil affairs bureau and the azure sky, with golden sunbeams pouring over their happy faces. At the moment of the kiss, both of them had their eyes closed, appearing very natural and beautiful.
"Does it look good?" Jiang Baizhou proudly raised his eyebrows and asked.
Cen Jin nodded and said with a smile, "Mm, it does look quite good. Who would’ve thought, your hobby of collecting cameras actually comes with some skills! Those earlier shots are not bad too."
"Excellent people need no explanation." Jiang Baizhou said without skipping a beat, face unchanged.
Cen Jin couldn’t help but roll her eyes at him, laughing silently, "Give you some sunlight and you really do shine, huh? Seriously, how come I never discovered this arrogant side of you before?"
"There’s plenty of things you haven’t discovered." Saying this, Jiang Baizhou looked at her, his eyes layered with meaning, the arm around her waist also tightened slightly, "But... there’s all the time in the world for you to find out, no rush right now."
*Blush*
Hearing this, Cen Jin seemed to think of something, her face instantly reddened to her ears, she turned away, ignoring him, putting the two red booklets into the bag.
"Don’t forget to send me a copy of the picture."
"Okay, I know." Cen Jin smiled sweetly, her heart brimming with that exclusive sense of happiness and sweetness, leaving no gap unfilled.
***
Within just a few days, Cen Jin found herself transformed from a flash wedding to a married woman, like it was a dream.
In the following week, although they registered, they lived as they did while dating, both returning to their own homes at night, as their own little nest was still under renovation.
They had also discussed and decided that they would tell Miss Yu and Jiang Yuyang about their registration once they returned.
When it came to friends, neither of them went out of their way to tell anyone, especially since they had been quite busy during this period, frequently leaving together in the morning and returning at night, only finding shared time for a midnight snack.
Cen Jin’s studio had taken on an order, two main wedding gowns, one Western-style, one Chinese-style, along with a groom’s outfit, six bridesmaid dresses, and six groomsmen suits, making her overwhelmed with work.
Their plans for wedding photos, the honeymoon, and wedding rings would be considered gradually over time.
"Cen Jin, the takeout is here, let’s eat first and rest a bit before continuing, don’t overwork yourself." Ye Lingran placed the two takeout bags on the coffee table, walked to Cen Jin’s desk, and said softly.
"Okay." Cen Jin stretched, supporting her aching waist, rose to the sofa, opened the takeout bag, and the enticing aroma made her unable to resist, quickly opening the bag to eat.
"Cen Jin, don’t you think you’ve been pushing yourself a bit too hard these days?" Ye Lingran looked at her, thoughtfully opening her drink.
"Pushing?" Cen Jin looked up and asked back.
"Isn’t it pushing?"
"Wasn’t I always like this before?"
"This time is much more so than before, you used to remember to eat and rest, now you don’t, not to mention, forgetting meals entirely."
Upon hearing this, Cen Jin thought for a moment, as if finding a satisfactory answer, she smiled and raised an eyebrow, "Hehe! Probably because I’m thinking about earning money to support the family!"
