Chapter 244: 244 and the boss get the certificate (part two)

Listening to He Ximei’s words, Su Wu’s mother could hardly believe it, "Fatty, is this for real or just a joke? Why hadn’t I heard anything about it before?"

She then took another glance at the young man in front of her.

Who else could it be if not Doctor Ye?

Doctor Ye was wearing a white shirt today, along with a dark red vest, and his trousers were neatly pressed, looking every bit like a young master from some wealthy family.

Ay-yo, they really must be going to register their marriage.

When did these two set eyes on each other that they’re now getting ready to register their marriage? That Old Guaizi’s family has really kept things hush-hush.

"My goodness, such a big event and your family has kept it so secret," Su Wu’s mother said, seeing that the two parties involved did not speak but seemed to confirm by their silence.

The two didn’t deny it, so it seemed the affair was true.

He Ximei smiled and urged Xiaofeng, "Hurry and get on the car, or we might be late. Remember to come back home first at noon."

Even though they were serving liquor at noon, tradition dictated that she must first leave from her parents’ home.

Xiaofeng nodded, "Okay."

Not far off, Su Xiaotao and her husband, returning to her parental home, found it an eyesore that Xiaofeng was standing in front of the car dressed in all red. They then turned to look at Ye Cheng, who was so handsome that she couldn’t take her eyes off him.

"Beautiful, just beautiful," Liu An said, staring at Su Xiaofeng’s unpowdered, tender skin, his eyes practically popping out.

He had always known that Su Xiaofeng was beautiful, but he never imagined she could look this stunning when dressed up.

Look at that face, that waist, tsk tsk.

Listening to Liu An swallowing his saliva, Su Xiaotao’s face changed color, "Liu An, just give it up. Su Xiaofeng has nothing to do with you no matter what. Stop ogling her with those sleazy eyes."

Liu An sneered, "Su Xiaotao, you’re not in charge of my affairs. Watch it, or I’ll beat you up."

"Liu An, you eat from my family’s table and take from us, and you still want to hit me? Are you even human?" Su Xiaotao, looking at the two people not far from her, fumed with nowhere to vent her anger.

"Su Xiaotao, you are my wife now. How I deal with my wife is my rightful prerogative."

Hearing this, Su Xiaotao felt her teeth itch with rage, and she had to go over and ask Su Xiaofeng and Ye Cheng what on earth they were dressed up for.

"Doctor Ye," Su Xiaotao greeted Ye Cheng with a smile, "Aren’t you on duty today?"

She was careful not to stand too close to Ye Cheng, afraid he might toss her out again.

Handsome as the man was, he was more dangerous than Liu An.

Ye Cheng looked at her and couldn’t remember who she was for a moment.

"Ah, it’s Xiaotao," Su Wu’s mother glanced at Su Xiaotao and then at Liu An beside her, full of disdain. Having a husband who frequented her parents’ house for food like this... marrying such a man meant tough days ahead, "You’re back again."

"Xiaofeng and Ye Cheng are going to register their marriage, and they really look quite the match standing together, don’t you think?"

Listening to Su Wu’s mother’s words, Su Xiaotao found it a bit funny, "Auntie, please don’t joke like that. Ye Cheng and Xiaofeng registering their marriage? That joke isn’t funny."

Doctor Ye isn’t sick in the head, so how could he possibly marry Su Xiaofeng, a woman with a bun in the oven from someone else?

"Xiaotao, this is no joke. My Xiaofeng and Ye Cheng are really going to register their marriage," He Ximei said, hearing Xiaotao’s words and interpreting it as jealousy. She hurried Xiaofeng along, "Xiaofeng, you better hurry down, we need to be back by noon for the meal."

Xiaofeng did not look at Xiaotao but turned toward and got into the passenger side.

Ye Cheng nodded at He Ximei and, without greeting anyone else, got into the driver’s seat.

The car started and slowly drove away from the village, heading towards the direction of the county town.

Su Xiaotao watched as not only Xiaofeng was dressed beautifully today, but Ye Cheng was also particularly good-looking. Together, they unexpectedly seemed to make a perfect pair.

It shouldn’t be like this. Su Xiaotao’s palms clenched tightly. How could Ye Cheng possibly marry Su Xiaofeng? Aside from being pretty, what was there for him to take an interest in?

"Fatty," Su Wu’s mother said with a laugh, "Your Xiaofeng is really lucky to marry a man like Ye Cheng—not only does his family have money, but the man’s a doctor too."

"Our Xiaofeng is no less capable. Otherwise, Ye Cheng wouldn’t have taken an interest in her," said He Ximei, clearly not allowing others to look down on Xiaofeng. "They’re just going to register today, and at noon they’ll come back for a meal with both families. We’re not going to throw a wedding banquet. Please try to understand."

Su Wu’s mother was very understanding. A pregnant woman marrying a man who wasn’t the child’s father would only harm the man’s reputation, so a lavish wedding was out of the question.

"It’s enough that they have taken a liking to each other," Su Wu’s mother whispered to He Ximei after the car left. "No wedding banquet, but there must be some betrothal gifts, right?"

Of course, Xiaofeng getting married under these circumstances was fortunate enough—betrothal gifts or not, it was merely a formality.

Speaking of betrothal gifts, He Ximei’s smile stretched from ear to ear, "There is, and not just any gift, it’s a big one. I don’t even know how to accompany a dowry with it."

"How much?" That was what really concerned everyone.

"He gave Guaizi a promissory note with ’66,666 yuan’ written on it, saying it was our betrothal gift. We wouldn’t dare accept so much. We plan to only take ’6,666 yuan’ and give back the remaining 60,000 yuan as a dowry to them. They need to stay financially strong for the future since there will be many expenses, and the more money they have on hand, the bigger their business can grow." He Ximei was truly happy today, not just because Xiaofeng was getting married, but also because she had picked a son-in-law who thoroughly pleased them.

Of course, the villagers had to know about this matter, to save them the trouble of gossiping about Xiaofeng’s belly every single day.

Xiaofeng was indeed determined, and she used facts to tell everyone that not only did she marry well, but she married so impressively that it made everyone green with envy.

"I say, Fatty, you must have gone mad with the idea of selling off Xiaofeng," Hu Xiulan came over with a bowl of breakfast in her hand. "You even mention six thousand six hundred and sixty-six, why not just say six hundred and sixty-six thousand. With the way Doctor Ye and his folks are, hardly mingling with the villagers, how could they marry Xiaofeng?"

Glancing at Su Xiaotao and her husband who had just arrived, she waved them into the house. "You’re here, why don’t you go home? Breakfast is ready; help yourselves from the pot."

"I’ll go in a bit," Xiaotao stood still, not wanting to leave. She had to understand exactly what was going on between Su Xiaofeng and Ye Cheng.

These people can believe it or not. "Dowry or no dowry, that’s just how it is. His dad and I are going out later to prepare Xiaofeng’s bridal dowry."

Old Man Su had already changed his clothes, and Su Peng was about to push out the three-wheeled cart.

The fat lady checked her own clothes and, finding nothing amiss, locked the door with a smile to everyone and set out.

Hu Xiulan spat out with disdain, "What kind of rubbish is this?"

Yet Su Wu’s mother laughed. "Comparisons between people can really kill. Ye Cheng just took a fancy to Xiaofeng; that girl Xiaofeng is blessed."

"I don’t think it’s true," Xiaotao didn’t believe it. "Su Xiaofeng is quite fond of acting. Maybe she hired Ye Cheng to perform this for us to watch. And a dowry of sixty-six thousand—I could die laughing." Ye Cheng didn’t even like women. How could he possibly marry Su Xiaofeng?

Unless there was some unspeakable arrangement between them.

"Right, for someone like Xiaofeng to get married is good enough," Hu Xiulan agreed with her daughter.

...

Xiaofeng looked at Ye Cheng, who was looking back at her at just the right moment, a kind of light flowing in their eyes.

"Ye Cheng, if you regret it now, it’s still not too late. Once we register for marriage, you won’t be able to back out," she said.

"Being able to marry such a beautiful wife like you, what would I have to regret?" Regret—he had never considered it.

"Don’t worry. You’ve done me such a big favor. After my baby is born, I will definitely make you the godfather."

Ye Cheng glanced at her belly. "Call me ’Dad’, not ’godfather’."

A twitch appeared at the corner of Xiaofeng’s mouth, as if he was their actual father. "Your name shouldn’t be Ye Cheng, should it?"

If the two Ye Chengs only wanted a peaceful life, they must have gone incognito.

"What do you think?"

"How would I know?"

Ye Cheng handed her the household registration book. "Have a look for yourself."

With curiosity, Xiaofeng flipped it open.

There was only one name in the household registration book, that of Ye Cheng himself. However, his name wasn’t Ye Cheng, but Gu Yecheng.

"Gu Yecheng?" Xiaofeng muttered softly.

Ye Cheng’s thin lips curled into a smile. "Remember this name. Starting today, this name will appear on our marriage certificate alongside yours."

When they entered the Civil Affairs Bureau, everyone looked at them, eyes scrutinizing this pair.

In less than half an hour, the two of them successfully registered for marriage.

"Mrs. Gu, I look forward to your guidance in the future," Ye Cheng reached out his hand to Su Xiaofeng, his eyes brimming with tenderness.

If Xiaofeng didn’t know that her marriage to Ye Cheng was nothing but a sham, she might have been moved by his sudden show of affection.

"Mr. Gu, please guide me as well," she replied.

After speaking, they looked at each other and smiled.

Ye Cheng naturally took Xiaofeng’s hand. "Let’s go, let’s go home."

Xiaofeng let him lead her, a beautiful bride and a handsome groom, quite a sight for sore eyes.

...

The Sixth Master’s household was bustling today.

Early in the morning, a bunch of ingredients had been delivered, and now the courtyard was a hive of activity, some chopping vegetables, some washing them, all working together harmoniously.

Ye Fei was in charge of decorating the young master’s bridal chamber, which had to be ready before the young master returned.

Ye Fei said that he had never done such work before and didn’t know where to start, but for the young master’s bridal room, he would surely complete the task.
