Chapter 2178: Chapter 2177: Do You Want to Get Married a Second Time?
“Why do you ask?”
Wen Ranqing’s bright eyes flickered briefly, a smile playing at her lips.
Mo Xiuchen gazed deeply into her eyes, as if trying to see into her heart.
“Ranran, if you don’t like Jiang Hui, I’ll transfer her elsewhere so that she won’t appear in your sight again.”
The more Wen Ran appeared gentle and magnanimous, indifferent to Jiang Hui’s presence, the more Mo Xiuchen felt uneasy, believing that Ranran must feel uncomfortable because of Jiang Hui.
Especially the last time, when he left suddenly on a business trip after receiving a call from Jiang Hui.
At that time, Ranran indeed still had a stomachache.
Wen Ran chuckled softly, “I don’t like Jiang Hui because I don’t like the way she looks at you or how she deliberately seeks your attention from time to time. But she is a capable woman, and I can’t deny that.”
“There are many capable women out there.”
Mo Xiuchen was dismissive. If Jiang Hui made Ranran unhappy, he couldn’t tolerate her.
It seemed he had been too careless, thinking that as long as he wasn’t interested in other women and only treated Ranran well, it would suffice.
The truth proved that his Ranran did get jealous.
“You promised her that as long as she doesn’t make any mistakes, you wouldn’t dismiss her. Xiuchen, I’m not at the point where I can’t tolerate her. If she really crosses the line, even if you want to keep her, I won’t agree.”
Wen Ran’s heart was touched by Mo Xiuchen’s attentiveness.
She had never expressed it, but he still sensed her discomfort.

On the way to the Civil Affairs Bureau, Jing Xiaocha was filled with excitement, her heart beating twice as fast as usual.
Wen Jin occasionally glanced at her, observing her fluctuating emotions. At a red light, he reached over to pat her head gently and said warmly, “Don’t be nervous.”
“Brother Wen, do you think there will be many people there?”
Jing Xiaocha found a topic to chat about.
This was her first time getting married in this life, how could she not be nervous?
Moreover, she was registering her marriage with the man she had silently admired for years. Once they registered, she and Brother Wen would legally be husband and wife.
Wen Jin raised his eyebrows slightly, “That’s hard to say, there might be many people, or maybe just a few.”
“Brother Wen, are you sure you don’t want to reconsider?”
“Reconsider what?”
Wen Jin seemed to not understand Jing Xiaocha’s meaning.
A hint of unnaturalness flashed across Jing Xiaocha’s face, “Reconsider whether we should really register today. It’s our first time getting married, why aren’t you nervous?”
In her nervousness, Jing Xiaocha’s mind started to short-circuit, and she spoke out of tune.
Wen Jin laughed, “It’s not like it’s your first time getting married. Or are you hoping for a second marriage?”
“That’s not what I meant.”
Jing Xiaocha realized she had misspoken and felt embarrassed.
“If you’re really nervous, why not close your eyes and rest for a while? I’ll wake you when we arrive at the Civil Affairs Bureau.”
Jing Xiaocha shook her head, indicating she didn’t want to close her eyes and rest.
Wen Jin gave a gentle smile, “Then don’t think of getting a marriage certificate as so daunting. It’s just taking a photo and signing your name, like school.”
Jing Xiaocha didn’t know why she was so nervous. It wasn’t that she didn’t like Wen Jin; on the contrary, she had liked him for so long, with her heart and mind full of him.
Now that she had finally won the chance to marry him, she felt uneasy.
Fortunately, there weren’t many people at the Civil Affairs Bureau. When Wen Jin and Jing Xiaocha entered, only a few couples were there, queuing to get their certificates.
Just like Wen Jin said, the procedure wasn’t complicated.
However, Jing Xiaocha’s mind remained somewhat dizzy, not fully clear. Throughout the process, she just followed Wen Jin’s instructions, doing whatever he said.
If it weren’t for the Civil Affairs Bureau staff recognizing Wen Jin, they might have suspected that Jing Xiaocha was being tricked into getting married.
Just as they exited the Civil Affairs Bureau, Jing Xiaocha’s phone rang.
The call was from Bai Xiaoxiao, asking if they had collected their certificate.
Jing Xiaocha glanced at the marriage certificate in her hand and softly replied, “Sister Bai, we just got the certificate.”
“You sound a bit unhappy. Did your Brother Wen drag you there against your will?”
“Of course not.”
Jing Xiaocha instinctively glanced at Wen Jin beside her, as if worried he would hear Bai Xiaoxiao’s teasing words.
Perhaps she was too happy, which made her somewhat dazed, rather than unhappy.
Actually, ever since Wen Jin confessed to her, Jing Xiaocha felt like she had been dreaming.
Bai Xiaoxiao laughed over the phone, “Xiaocha, we’re all waiting to celebrate with you both.”
**
The gathering was held at Yi Pin Xuan Pavilion as usual.
In the spacious private room, Wen Jin and Jing Xiaocha, the two main characters, were surrounded by everyone.
The room was filled with chatter and laughter from everyone congratulating and teasing them. Wen Jin was calm and wore a gentle smile, while Jing Xiaocha’s face was slightly flushed.
“I remember last year when Xiaoxiao and Ah Feng got their certificate, they called to tell me Xiaocha was back. Unexpectedly, a year later, Xiaocha and my brother have also registered.”
As Wen Ran spoke, Bai Xiaoxiao nodded immediately, “Yes, Xiaocha caught the bouquet at our wedding. I didn’t expect it to be so effective; she actually managed to get married so quickly.”
In the midst of adults’ chatter, a young voice suddenly chimed in, “Second Uncle and Aunt, you should give Brother Little Hui and me a big red envelope.”
“Ziyi, why should your second uncle give you a big red envelope?”
An Lin’s eyes lit up as she looked at Ziyi and Zhang Minghui with a smile.
“Because Brother Little Hui and I were the matchmakers. Right, Uncle?” Ziyi said while winking at Wen Jin.
Wen Jin quickly caught on, “You two can eat more later, but if you want a red envelope, ask your dad when you get home.”
“Second Uncle, you’re too heartless.”
Ziyi’s small head drooped instantly.
Beside him, Zhang Minghui nudged him lightly with his arm, and when Ziyi looked up, he found his dad giving him a cold, menacing stare.
A chill ran down his spine, and he looked over at his mom.
Thinking to himself, was it his mom who betrayed him?
“Ah Mu, didn’t you say Uncle Qin and Uncle An miss Qingqing? In that case, why not let Qingqing go home to stay with them for a while? Anyway, Qingqing is still young, and it won’t matter if she returns to school next year.”
Mo Xiuchen glanced at Ziyi before retracting his gaze, smiling as he suggested to Qin Mu beside him.
“Dad, didn’t you say that whatever you start, you must finish? Qingqing has already started school; how can she quit halfway?”
Ziyi grumbled inwardly about his scheming father, gazing fixedly at him.
“I’ve arranged for two overseas schools for you and plan to send you abroad soon. Only in a foreign country can you truly become independent.”
“Dad, am I still your own son? I’m so young, yet you want to send me abroad?”
Ziyi protested in dissatisfaction, feeling his dad was too harsh.
