Chapter 851 - Double Happiness
Chapter 851: Double Happiness
Today, they had to register their marriage and take a photo. It was said that Chinese marriage certificates had a red or blue background. Binjiang City’s background was usually red.
Hence, when choosing her clothes, Lisa specially chose a white low-necked outfit. Coincidentally, Chi Baoguang was also wearing a white shirt. The two of them sized each other up in silence for a long time, then looked away awkwardly.
She was already so old, yet she was still trying to be fashionable. She was wearing a white blouse and taking wedding ID photos. Just the thought of it was embarrassing.
Even if it was embarrassing, they had to get married!
When the two of them appeared at the Civil Affairs Bureau, the young people couldn’t help but steal glances at them.
The two of them queued up with them. Chi Baoguang’s hearing was very good. He could hear a few couples discussing them in front of him. Some were praising them for being good-looking, while others were guessing if they were dating in the sunset. Some also said that they were remarrying after a divorce.
Hearing this guess, Chi Baoguang was a little unhappy.
He felt a little suffocated. He really wanted to tell everyone that the woman beside him was his first love, the mother of his child!
They registered their marriage and walked out of the Civil Affairs Bureau. Once they got into the car, Lisa took out her phone and sent Qiao Jiusheng a WeChat message.
Lisa: [Ah Sheng, I have good news for you.]
...Qiao Jiusheng replied: [I have good news to tell you too.]
Lisa: [Then shall we tell each other at the same time in three seconds?]
Qiao Jiusheng agreed.
Three seconds later, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law sent each other a photo at the same time.
Lisa opened the photograph and stared at the image of the pregnancy test kit. She froze for a moment, then smiled happily.
Chi Baoguang asked her what she was smiling about. She said, “We’re going to be grandparents again.”
Chi Baoguang was shocked.
“Ah Sheng is pregnant again?”
“I see.”
Delighted, Lisa said, “I hope this child will be a daughter. Then we’ll have both genders as grandkids.”
Chi Baoguang did not agree. His expression was dark, and no one knew what he was thinking.
“What are you thinking?” Unable to hold back, Lisa opened the photo and looked at it again. She heard Chi Baoguang say, “If we went back another fifteen years, I would want to have another child with you.”
Lisa replied, “You’re so indecent!”
With that, the smile on her face faded a little.
“It’s okay.” She held Chi Baoguang’s hand, as if to comfort him, but also herself. “We have Yusheng. He’s very good.” What she wanted to say was that with Fang Yusheng and him around, she would never dare to ask for anything else in her life.
One could not be too greedy. It was already a blessing for her in her previous life to have Chi Baoguang back.
At the other end.
Qiao Jiusheng looked at the photo of the marriage certificate Lisa had sent over and was stunned for a moment. Fang Yusheng’s heart skipped a beat when he saw her reaction. He quickly leaned over to take a look. Seeing that it was a marriage certificate, he seemed to heave a sigh of relief.
Fang Yusheng said faintly, “You scared me to death. I thought the two of them had gotten me a younger brother or sister.”
Qiao Jiusheng was speechless.
No wonder Fang Yusheng’s expression had been a little grim when he saw Lisa say that she had good news to tell them. So this was what he was thinking…
“You’re thinking too much.” Qiao Jiusheng felt that her Yusheng was sometimes a little silly. “Mom is almost sixty years old. How can she give birth?”
Fang Yusheng sneered. “A dead person can still appear after decades. Would it be strange for a sixty-year-old to have a child?” He still bore a grudge against Lisa for faking her death without telling him. Qiao Jiusheng’s heart ached for him, so she leaned over and rubbed his heart.
“Mom and Dad have registered their marriage. Shouldn’t we express our congratulations?”
Fang Yusheng sneered. “No money!”
Although she said that he had no money, after lunch, Qiao Jiusheng took a nap for more than an hour. In the afternoon, Fang Yusheng still drove Qiao Jiusheng to the mall to pick something out, but in the end, he did not choose a suitable gift. Qiao Jiusheng thought of something and brought Fang Yusheng to her jade shop.
Previously, when she had nothing to do, she had made a jade-faced fan screen. The surface of the fan had been polished to an extremely thin layer, and a pair of dragonflies had been carved on it.
Fang Yusheng liked it the moment he saw it.
“Let’s not send them off. Let’s just move it back to our own house and leave it there.”
Qiao Jiusheng laughed and scolded him for being useless.
Qiao Jiusheng wrote the words “endearingly united” on the upper left corner of the folding screen and stamped her name on it. Only then did she wrap the box, planning to send it to Lisa tonight.
…
When Qiao Jiusheng and the others arrived at Chi Baoguang’s house, they saw an old man in a Tang suit pacing around downstairs with a bouquet of flowers in his arms. He looked very hesitant.
Qiao Jiusheng found this person familiar.
When Fang Yusheng saw this, he said, “Isn’t this the Master Tang who taught my mother embroidery?”
Chi Baoguang had a few verbal arguments with Lisa. Once, Qiao Jiusheng and the others happened to be at their house and heard them arguing non-stop around a man named Master Tang. When they listened carefully, he realized that Master Tang was Lisa’s embroidery teacher and had improper thoughts about her.
Qiao Jiusheng still remembered Chi Baoguang’s words back then. “That old fart Tang Ru’an looks like a thief. What’s so good about him?! Every time I see those woman’s clothes on him, I want to punch him. Lisa, if you dare to smile at him again, I’ll beat him up!”
When Chi Baoguang was furious, it was especially terrifying.
Qiao Jiusheng and Fang Yusheng sat quietly at the side, watching them quarrel. Neither of them dared to interrupt.
But Lisa was not afraid of the consequences.
She argued with him. “Those clothes aren’t a woman’s clothes. They’re called art! Silk embroidery, do you understand!”
“I don’t care. If that old thing dares to stare at you with those lecherous eyes again, I’ll make sure that he won’t be able to see the embroidery needles anymore.” He was going to blind Master Tang.
Lisa glared at him.
Chi Baoguang continued, “Why are you glaring at me? I’m not going to hurt your eyes.”
In any case, the argument between the two of them had been a little fierce.
Qiao Jiusheng could not help but feel admiration and sympathy for Master Tang when she suddenly saw him downstairs. She admired that he was still alive and had not been killed by Chi Baoguang. Her sympathy for his feelings was destined to be for naught.
Qiao Jiusheng felt that the love of old people was sometimes quite interesting.
Even if he saw her, he couldn’t pretend not to see her. Fang Yusheng could only walk over and ask Master Tang, “Master Tang, why are you here? Are you looking for my mother?”
Master Tang stared at Lisa’s extraordinarily handsome son. He thought of how Chi Baoguang and Lisa had even gotten their marriage certificate. For a moment, he felt a little uncomfortable. He had initially planned to go upstairs to take a look and have dinner. He was a classic example of someone who would not shed a tear until he saw the yellow river.
But when he saw Fang Yusheng, Master Tang suddenly understood that he was making himself suffer. Lisa clearly had a deep relationship with Chi Baoguang. To Lisa, his fondness for her was just a nuisance.
