Chapter 390: Engagement [3]

Chi Rui gave Rize a confused look because he could not imagine her picking up trash randomly for no reason.

"I will explain later." She whispered to him. "Why are you all gathered around here?"

"Because the two love birds are planning to step away and get their marriage certificates. We are all here to run interference and make sure that nobody else stops them before they can make their get away."

"Now." Rize said.

She thought they would be getting married tomorrow so why the sudden change of plan?

"Yes, Muyang is worried that something else might pop out of the shadows and try to keep them apart. He is not willing to risk it."

"Ho, how romantic." Rize said with a chuckle.

"Romantic or paranoid?" Chi Rui retorted.

"Can’t it be both?" Rize replied. "

The two of them were looking at Chi Lian and Muyang who were all smiles and giddy with happiness.

"Next year, that will be us." Chi Rui whispered to Rize.

Rize pulled her head back and she looked at Chi Rui, then she raised her hand and showed it to him. She touched her finger and showed that it was still plain.

"No plans until I see a ring." she told him.

Chi Rui looked into her eyes then he bent down slightly and whispered in her ears, "I am not all talk baby, trust me. I will make you the happiest woman in the world."

He was holding her hand and caressing it slowly. They shared an intense gaze and a smile.

Chi Wei interfered in their romantic little moment by bumping into his brother. "What are both of you whispering about over here?"

"We are talking about how happy the couple looks." Chi Rui answered. "Our little sister is glowing, look at her. Did you ever picture the little girl who was always running around with pig tails and a bunny with half an ear getting married."

"God I didn’t." Chi Wei replied. "Now that she is getting married I am feeling very sentimental."

The two brothers stood still, each of them reminiscing about their childhood, lost in the memories of their little sister as a child.

Rize looked at them and she walked away so that they could continue their discussion privately. She approached the happy couple but a little body beat her to it.

"Mum." Mei-Mei called out adorably and she latched onto Chi Lian’s legs.

Chi Lian looked at her daughter whose face she had barely seen all day. She had missed her so much and she carried her and kissed her chubby cheeks.

"How is my little angel?"

Mei-Mei chuckled and rubbed her nose across Chi Lian’s nose. Chi Lian had told her that this was their ’I am fine signal.’

"Why are you running around alone, where is your grandma?"

Mei-Mei pointed in the direction where she had left old madam Jun.

"What about your brother?"

Mei-Mei shook her head and said, "Don’t know."

"He is with Fu Jui and your grandfather, I saw them eating dessert together."

"Daddy." Mei-Mei extended her arms for Muyang to carry her.

"Hello daddy’s little princess. Do you know that daddy and mummy are getting married today?"

"I don’t think she understands what marriage is." Chi Lian told Muyang. "She probably thinks that we are here to celebrate her birthday again. Although I have to admit that she looks quite cute in this antique hanfu that your grandmother dressed her in."

"She looks cute in everything." Muyang answered and he slowly danced to Du Moxi’s song with Mei-Mei. "After tonight, the four of us will not have to live separately anymore."

She was just about to reply when Wenzhe came over and said, "Everything is ready young master, if you want to get your marriage certificate today then you have to leave now."

"Alright, we are coming." Muyang answered.

Chi Lian took Mei-Mei from his hands and gave her to Rize.

"Mei-Mei stay with princess aunt for a while. Daddy and mummy will be back quickly."

Mei-Mei looked unwilling to let them go and her big eyes became teary. Muyang felt as if his heat was about to torn apart.

"Maybe we should just take her with us." he suggested.

"No, I think she should remain here, we are going to return in one hour or less so it doesn’t make much sense to take her out in the cold."

Muyang looked into Mei-Mei’s teary eyes once more and then he struggled to look away before his weak heart could give in.

He kissed Mei-Mei on the cheek and Rize did the wise thing by taking Mei-Mei away before she could see her parents going and then make a fuss.

Chi Lian and Muyang ducked out quickly and took the private elevator downstairs. The driver quickly drove them to the local civil affairs bureau.

In front of their car were two cars filled with bodyguards and Behind them were three other cars also filled with bodyguards. It was truly like Chi Rui said, Muyang was leaving nothing to chance.

The whole time in their car, Chi Lian was leaning against Muyang’s body as if she was boneless. Her head was on his chest and one of her arms was on his abdomen. He was softly patting her arm and her hair occasionally. Neither one of them said a word throughout the journey to the bureau. It was as if they had made an agreement not to speak with their lips however they communicated with their body language, especially their eyes.

They could barely stop looking at each other and Chi Lian’s shy smile could not be wiped away from her face.

The beating of her heart was loud and her hands were trembling. She was not alone in this nervousness because Muyang too was nervous.

His hands were slightly shaky even though he was trying to appear cool and confident.

Soon, the car parked in front of the civil affairs bureau and the couple looked at each other with excitement in their eyes.

The moment they had been waiting for was finally here and it was nerve wrecking.

"Are you ready?" Muyang asked her.

"One hundred percent." she replied.

Muyang nodded and he stepped out of the car first then he extended his hand to her so that he could help her out of the car like a proper gentleman.
