Chapter 456: Chapter 432: A Household Registration Page

「Two days later.」

Jiang Wende drove Wang Ming and Shen Ying to Yu Du Jiangbei Airport. Shen Ying’s parents came along as well. Even though the New Year was just around the corner, their daughter was leaving to follow her boyfriend to the Imperial Capital, a thousand miles away.

Despite their reluctance, the old couple knew this was what was best for their daughter.

"Dad, Mom, Uncle Jiang, boarding will start soon, so we’re going to head in now," Shen Ying said softly.

"Go on, go on. Just remember to call home after you land," Ye Qiuju said, hugging her daughter.

"Yeah, of course I will."

Jiang Wende handed Wang Ming a large, vacuum-sealed bag of sausages and cured ribs that Xia Shanshan had prepared. Although Jiang Xia wasn’t short on money now and could buy ingredients with even better flavor, no amount of money could buy the taste of a mother’s cooking.

"Wang Ming, when you see Jiang Xia and Yanwan, tell them that no matter how busy they are with work, taking care of their health is what’s most important."

"You got it, Uncle Jiang. I’ll make sure they get the message."

Wang Ming smiled and took the vacuum-sealed bag. "Alright, we’re heading off then. We’ll come back with Jiang Xia and the others when we have time."

"Travel safely."

"Uncle Jiang, thank you for driving my parents home," Shen Ying said gratefully.

Jiang Wende smiled faintly. "We’ll all be family soon, so don’t mention it. As long as you two can take care of yourselves, we parents won’t have to worry."

"Mhm! We will."

Watching the two of them walk into the departure hall, Shen Jianjun felt a little dazed. The daughter he had raised for over a decade finally had someone she loved.

"Brother Shen, Sister Ye, we should get going, too. It’s time to head back," Jiang Wende said.

"Alright."

The old couple nodded, reluctantly pulling their gazes away.

In the first-class cabin, Wang Ming and Shen Ying’s fingers were tightly intertwined. They looked at each other, unable to hide the happy smiles in their eyes, filled with bliss.

The fact that Shen Ying’s parents had agreed to let her go to the Imperial Capital meant they had passed the "parent" stage without a hitch. All that was left was to wait for the right time for them to get married. If Wang Ming was really something, maybe they’d even have two kids in a year.

On the plane, Wang Ming suddenly remembered that his father-in-law had handed him an envelope before he left.

He pulled it out of his bag. Pinching it, he noted it wasn’t very thick. From the feel of it, it didn’t seem to be money.

"What’s that?" Shen Ying asked, glancing over.

"I don’t know either. Your dad gave it to me, anyway." As he spoke, Wang Ming slowly tore open a corner of the envelope. Instead of cash, he found a single sheet of paper.

He took it out to look, and his face instantly lit up with a smile, while Shen Ying was stunned.

"Honey, look! Uncle Shen gave me the original page from your household register. What do you think that means?" he said with a grin, waving Shen Ying’s household register page.

Shen Ying’s face flushed red. She had already looked up the procedures for getting married long ago. The two most important things were one’s ID card and household register. She had even considered the worst-case scenario: if her parents didn’t agree to her being with Wang Ming, she would sneak home, steal her household register, and elope with him.

But now, her own dad had so readily given him the page from her register. The implication was obvious.

—From now on, she could make her own decisions about marriage; her parents wouldn’t interfere anymore.

"Hmph, the head of the household is my mom. You’re still missing her part," she said, lifting her chin slightly, her tone a little proud and defiant.

Wang Ming chuckled. "Isn’t that simple? When we’re ready to get married, we’ll just go ask her for it. I refuse to believe my mother-in-law would say no. You said your mom is the head of the household, but since my father-in-law gave me your page, your mom must have agreed to it too."

"You sure are quick to call them ’father-in-law’ and ’mother-in-law’," Shen Ying mumbled, her face red.

"What?! Are you saying you don’t want to marry me?" Wang Ming feigned surprise.

Shen Ying: "?"

She said angrily, "When did I ever say that!"

"Then, my beautiful Miss Shen Ying, will you marry me?"

From out of nowhere, Wang Ming produced a small, exquisite, and clearly long-prepared box. He opened it, revealing a dazzling diamond ring lying quietly inside.

Even though they were on a plane and he couldn’t kneel to propose while wearing his seatbelt, Shen Ying couldn’t help but cover her mouth. Tears welled in her eyes, her face a picture of pure emotion.

"You idiot, I’ve been waiting for this day for so long..."

By the time the plane landed at Imperial Capital Airport, it was already after five in the afternoon.

Li Weiya came to pick them up personally in her recently purchased car. The moment she saw Shen Ying, a smile unconsciously bloomed on the face of this future mother-in-law.

"It’s been a while, Yingying."

"Aunt Li, I’ve missed you so much."

Li Weiya smiled faintly. "You won’t be going back for the New Year, I assume?"

"Mhm, I’ve already talked it over with my parents. I’ll go back to see them later when I have time," Shen Ying said.

"Mom, where’s Old Jiang? How come he didn’t come?" Old Wang looked around, not seeing Jiang Xia. He had been hoping to show off a little in front of him. ’See how easily I brought my wife back?’

Li Weiya shot him a glance and said irritably, "You, the chief director, took the chance to slip away, so doesn’t he have to clean up your mess? He’s at the company doing an interview right now, so he’s busy."

"Hehehe, I’ll treat him to a few meals to make it up to him when I get back," Wang Ming chuckled.

"Alright, get in the car. We’re going to the company first."

After they got in the car, Li Weiya glanced in the rearview mirror. Her son and Shen Ying were still holding hands tightly, and Shen Ying was wearing a diamond ring on her left ring finger. It was clear that her son’s trip had been very successful. All the things Wang Ming had bragged to her about a few days ago had actually come true.
