- Chapter 30 - Getting the Marriage Certificate
Two months?! Gu Lan and Gao Qi were overjoyed.
But upon closer thought, when Gu Zhi first mentioned it to them, it was five months ago. How could she only be two months pregnant now? Gu Zhi also thought about it.
Due to the show and the platform, the dating program had been on hiatus for a long time, essentially filming for nearly two months, and then Gu Lan only asked about them a month after it ended. It must have happened when Xu Muyan was drugged.
Gu Lan secretly asked the doctor, “Are you sure it’s a bloodline of the Gu family?”
The doctor gave him a strange look. “Is it supposed to be mine?”
Gu Zhi was unsure whether to be happy or sad about this news. She was happy that she didn’t have to face the pressure of marrying Xu Muyan, but sad because she was going to be a mother.
She hadn’t even processed it and was already going to be a mother! She just wanted to be the child nestled in her Sister’s arms, and now she would have to compete with her own baby.
Gu Zhi sniffled. “Sister, I’m going to be a mom.”
Xu Muyan hugged her head. “Yes, and I’m going to be a mom too. We have a little baby now.”
Gu Zhi sighed, discarding her negative thoughts, and swore to be good to Xu Muyan.
Gu Lan cleared his throat. “Since the matter is settled, there’s nothing more I can say.”
Gu Zhi: “Dad, even if the matter wasn’t settled, I wouldn’t give her up.” She took Xu Muyan’s hand. “I’m going to marry Xu Muyan.”
Gu Lan actually had a slight hidden agenda. He planned to only accept the child, as a wealthy family taking in a scandalous female celebrity would certainly lead to some ridicule. But his supposedly good-for-nothing daughter was telling him with such sincerity that she wanted to marry her. He was momentarily stunned.
“Are you serious?”
“Yes!” Gu Zhi nodded firmly. “The Gu family is the Gu family. Xu Muyan, the baby, and I are a family too. I want to marry her, that’s my decision. I’m just informing you. I don’t need your permission.”
Gu Lan immediately became displeased. “Nonsense! How can you talk to your father like that, so disrespectful!”
“Uncle.” Xu Muyan, who had been silent for a while, firmly clasped Gu Zhi’s hand. “Gu Zhi won’t give me up, and I won’t give her up either. I just wanted to say that to you.”
Gu Lan and Gao Qi exchanged glances and sighed in unison. The deed was done; they might as well go with the flow. At least the child would likely be the most beautiful in the world.
That evening. Gu Zhi had managed to add Xu Ranzhi on WeChat, but Xu Ranzhi wouldn’t reply to her many messages. Gu Zhi finally resorted to sending: Your sister is pregnant.
Xu Ranzhi immediately replied: !!!!!!!!!! WHAT!!!!!!!!
Gu Zhi: …
—You jerk, how could you do this to my sister!! —Gu Zhi, you bastard —If you dare to treat my sister badly, I’ll skin you alive
Gu Zhi: …
—Let me ask you something —How do you and Jiang Shiyi know each other?
Xu Ranzhi did not reply again. Gu Zhi sighed. This person is crazy!
“Zhi-Zhi.” Xu Muyan called out.
“What is it?” Gu Zhi rushed in as soon as she heard her voice.
“I’m a little hungry.” Xu Muyan was lying in bed.
She was only two months pregnant, but Gu Lan and Gao Qi had already assigned two or three nannies to look after her. Xu Muyan disliked crowds and refused them, saying Gu Zhi was enough. Gu Zhi agreed. Xu Muyan was only two months along; she could still work, as long as she didn’t overdo it. But the Gu couple insisted that Xu Muyan not work at all. Such stubborn old people.
Gu Zhi suddenly realized a problem: they hadn’t gotten their marriage certificate yet.
At the Civil Affairs Bureau. Gu Zhi’s car was parked in the parking lot, but she didn’t get out, just secretly peering outside like a thief.
Xu Muyan found it amusing. “What are you looking at?”
Gu Zhi: “We’re getting our certificate. What if someone with an ulterior motive takes photos and posts them online? I’m checking for paparazzi nearby.”
Xu Muyan found it even funnier. “They’ll know about our relationship once the show airs.”
“Sister, I’ve thought a lot about this. If they find out you were pregnant before the show was even over, they’ll say we had a shotgun wedding. A shotgun wedding has a lot of implications. Your rivals and anti-fans will use it to humiliate you!”
Xu Muyan finally laughed. “I’m not afraid. My marriage is my business.”
Gu Zhi was momentarily stunned. Since Xu Muyan didn’t mind, what was she worried about? Besides, she could just throw money at it to suppress the heat. The paparazzi in the entertainment industry wouldn’t dare mess with the Gu Group. She was acting a bit small-minded.
Gu Zhi took her hand. “Then let’s go.”
After registering their ID cards, they went to take their marriage registration photos. The photographer had apparently served many celebrities. When he saw Xu Muyan and Gu Zhi coming to get their certificate, he was briefly stunned but, adhering to professional ethics, didn’t say much.
Gu Zhi had tidied her appearance several times in the restroom, making her white shirt look even more pristine. Xu Muyan knew she was nervous and stayed close to comfort her.
Finally, it was their turn to take the picture. Gu Zhi, with an air of composure, led Xu Muyan to sit down. The photographer was a skilled professional and offered guidance several times.
“You there, don’t tense up your face. Relax.”
As an actress, Xu Muyan’s expression management was naturally good. Even for something as formal as a marriage photo, she maintained her elegance.
Gu Zhi swallowed. “Oh.”
“Tilt your head down a little. Ah, yes, exactly, exactly.”
Click. The flash suddenly went off.
“All done.”
Gu Zhi let out a long sigh of relief. “Sister, I feel like taking this marriage photo was more terrifying than riding a rollercoaster.”
“You were too nervous.” Xu Muyan stroked her cheek.
While waiting for the marriage certificate, Gu Zhi had nothing to do and leaned on Xu Muyan’s shoulder. There weren’t many people today, but not too few either. To avoid being spotted, they stayed in a corner. Gu Zhi playfully drew on Xu Muyan’s palm. Xu Muyan felt a slight tickle and subtly pulled back.
“It tickles.”
Gu Zhi shivered slightly at her words, as she loved hearing that phrase. “Sister, we’re finally together.” She tightly held Xu Muyan’s hand. They had finally gotten their certificate and become legal wives.
When they got home, Gu Zhi took over the cooking. She had been practicing her culinary skills diligently for days, hoping for some progress.
“Dinner’s ready.” Gu Zhi placed the meticulously prepared dishes on the table and affectionately called Xu Muyan to eat.
Xu Muyan had been looked after by Gu Zhi for the past few days. She couldn’t do anything that required effort, and doing anything slightly strenuous would earn her a nagging “scolding” from a certain someone. Gu Zhi had also become more industrious than before. If one didn’t know she still went to the company during the day, they would think she was a domestic Alpha.
Of course, even beautiful days have their annoyances. For example, one day.
Gu Zhi woke up quickly and found her beloved lying in her arms, softly snoring. She felt a surge of sweetness in her heart. Xu Muyan’s phone suddenly pinged. Gu Zhi instinctively reached for it. It was a message from her manager.
—Muyan, are you there? I have an endorsement for you, one million!
Xu Muyan had already told Gu Zhi the password. Gu Zhi quickly opened and replied.
—What’s one million? We don’t need this endorsement. Sister is very tired right now
—Who is this?
—It’s Gu Zhi!
—CEO Gu, why are you here? Where’s Muyan!! Don’t tell me!!
—What are you thinking? We just slept together, that’s all
—Good, wait, WHAT!!!!
Gu Zhi rolled her eyes. Had Sister not told her manager that she was pregnant?
—Enough talk. What’s one million? I’ll give Sister ten million for an endorsement!
Gu Zhi was satisfied and was about to turn off the phone, but accidentally tapped the photo album. She tried not to look, but the photos in Xu Muyan’s album were very few, and several distinct pictures quickly caught her eye. Gu Zhi’s heart sank. The pictures were of her when she was drunk, taken in the hotel room right after she had transmigrated. Clearly, these were photos of the original owner.
Why did Sister take pictures of the original owner? And why are they so silly? Was it to blackmail Gu Lan? Why would she do that? Was she only with me for some ulterior motive?
These thoughts quickly overwhelmed Gu Zhi. Tears suddenly welled up. Impossible. Sister loves me so much. How could she harm me? But this photo was truly unflattering. There was no reason for Xu Muyan to keep it.
Gu Zhi arrived at the company completely distraught. Xu Muyan woke up and, seeing that Gu Zhi was gone, immediately called her. But Gu Zhi didn’t want to answer. She was being dramatic. After pursuing her for so many days, seeing this picture made her very sad.
A while later, Han Yun came over and said awkwardly, “Madam Gu specifically called me and asked what you’re doing.”
Gu Zhi said coldly, “Tell her I’m… I’m flirting with girls.”
Han Yun was at a loss. “No, CEO Gu, that will ruin your marriage.”
Gu Zhi felt increasingly wronged. “I feel wronged too!”
Han Yun: “???”
“Madam Gu also said that if you don’t answer, she will never talk to you again.”
Hmph, that woman. Fine if she doesn’t talk to me!
“She also said she’ll take the baby and hide where you can’t find them.”
Gu Zhi instantly stood up. “That woman!”
Suddenly, the phone rang. Gu Zhi answered dramatically. “Hmph!”
Xu Muyan chuckled. “What are you pouting about?”
Gu Zhi: “Go check what’s in your photo album!”
Xu Muyan froze. She opened it and saw the photo she took of the original owner, immediately getting a shock. She usually didn’t like taking photos, not even selfies, so she rarely looked at the album and had forgotten about it.
“Let me explain.”
Gu Zhi: “Fine, I’ll listen to your explanation. I’ll give you ten minutes—no, an hour. If you don’t explain clearly, I’ll be truly angry.”
Xu Muyan couldn’t help but smile. Why is she so cute?
“The purpose of taking that photo was exactly as you wished.”
Gu Zhi: “What!! You’re such a pervert, secretly taking unflattering photos of me.”
Xu Muyan paused, frowning. “I’m not a stalker. I was using that photo to threaten your father to make you back off and stop bothering me.”
Gu Zhi let out an “oh” and said coquettishly, “What about now?”
Xu Muyan smiled faintly. “I forgot to clean it up, so I didn’t delete it. How about I come to the company and delete it right in front of you?”
Gu Zhi laughed heartily. “Of course I know you would delete it, but that’s not what I want to hear.”
“Then what do you want to hear?”
Gu Zhi: “Hmph, woman, don’t play dumb!”
Xu Muyan’s face suddenly turned red. “Alright, I’m yours now. Is that enough?”
Gu Zhi’s hormones instantly surged. Her mind was racing with memory after memory. “Wait for me at home, I’m coming right back!”
And also…
Xu Muyan took a sip of cola, which Gu Zhi saw when she returned from work. Gu Zhi frowned. “I don’t remember having cola at home. Auntie Shang, why did you buy the madam cola?”
The nanny, Auntie Shang, was still cooking in the kitchen. Xu Muyan explained, “I ordered takeout.”
“You ordered takeout? What did you eat?” Gu Zhi’s face was full of interrogation and severity. Xu Muyan saw that expression for the first time and thought she had seen wrong. “I had fried chicken. The cola came with the meal.”
“Oh no, cola has artificial coloring. You can’t drink it. It will affect the baby.” Gu Zhi immediately snatched the cola and gulped it down. That way, Xu Muyan couldn’t drink it, and it wouldn’t be wasted.
Xu Muyan: “…” She was only three months pregnant, and her belly wasn’t showing yet. She just had occasional severe morning sickness. There was no need to be so strict!
Gu Zhi handed Xu Muyan a menu. “Here. This is the menu I customized for you after ten days and ten nights of work. Just tell Auntie Shang what you want to eat. You can tell me too.”
Xu Muyan looked at the dozen-plus pages of the menu. Although there were many dishes, they were mostly light, with almost no spicy food! Xu Muyan handed it back after reading it. “Thank you!”
Gu Zhi heard the gritted teeth in her voice and quickly soothed her. “Sister doesn’t like these dishes? Then I’ll change them.”
Xu Muyan pouted. “You might as well make me a hermit in the mountains. These dishes are as bland as mineral water. How am I supposed to eat them?”
Gu Zhi was stunned and pouted. “But I’m worried that what you eat will affect your health.”
“The dishes Auntie Shang makes are absolutely safe. Don’t worry.”
“But you ordered takeout behind my back!”
Seeing that she still wanted to control her diet, Xu Muyan couldn’t help but roll her eyes. She knew the baby needed nutrition and woke up hungry every night, but she couldn’t eat so much of this food. She still had several months until the baby arrived. How could she keep eating this? If she got sick of it, how would she eat enough to provide nutrition for the baby? Gu Zhi was simply too old-fashioned and didn’t know how to be flexible!
Gu Zhi hugged Xu Muyan, who was still sulking. Pregnant omegas could be very emotional and anxious. Gu Zhi couldn’t argue with her and had to be accommodating. “Sister, I’ll customize it again.”
“I’ll make sure you eat dishes that are more nutritious and delicious.”
Xu Muyan knew she meant well and wasn’t too angry. She ruffled her cheek. “Alright, alright, I’ll listen to you.”
Late at night, Xu Muyan got up to go to the restroom and saw that the light was still on in Gu Zhi’s study. Peeking through the door, she saw Gu Zhi writing and constantly making phone calls.
“Hello, Mom, what did you eat when you were pregnant?”
“Xiao Qin, can pregnant women eat spicy food?”
“Doctor, my wife likes to drink cola. Is it okay to have one glass a week?”
Xu Muyan’s eyes were sparkling. She quietly closed the door. She felt the fatigue in her body ease. The light in the study felt like a stove, gathering warmth all around and filling her up completely. Being loved truly felt so happy and wonderful.
