Chapter 197 - They are legally married now

The next day, Kong Xianwang and Mai Yuerui headed straight to the civil affairs bureau after having breakfast.

Xianwang's parents wanted to come along with them but Xianwang didn't let them.

----

They did the paperwork neatly and submitted all the necessary papers that were required. Then they were taken to take photographs for their marriage certificate.

Yuerui and Xianwang both wore plain clothes. They didn't wanted to look so extravagant in the pictures.

Si ying and Ning Tan accompanied the two. They were the witnesses as well.

In less than an hour, they were given the small red book of marriage certificate and thus Kong Xianwang and Mai Yuerui became legally husband and wife.

-------

Outside the Civil Affairs Bureau, Mai Yuerui is sitting on a bench. She had the small red book in her hand.

From the moment she got the book, her eyes didn't leave the little thing. She had been staring at the small thing with a blank expression.

She nervously rubbed the edge of the book.

'You are real!' she thought.

Like other girls, Mai Yuerui had also dreamed of her wedding. Even though she doesn't want any lavish wedding but she never thought to have her marriage to be this plain.

It's been only two months that she started to work.

Two months ago did she thought that she will be sitting here holding her marriage certificate today?

It feels surreal.

While she was still in daze Ning Tan came and sat beside here.

"You have been in daze since you got your marriage certificate. What's the matter, Ruirui?" Ning Tan asked.

Yuerui looked at her friend and suddenly tears started to fall from her eyes.

"Did I do the right thing, Tantan?" She asked her friend.

Ning Tan gently rubbed her tears away and said to her, "You have already made your decision. Now it's your job to make it work."

"In my opinion, Kong Xianwang seems like a decent man. If you give him a chance then things might work between you two." She added.

"Everyone seems perfect in the beginning." Yuerui's remark hinted to Han Yefang.

"But you never know, this time the perfection may last forever. You have to take a risk." Ning Tan shrugged.

Yuerui chuckled lightly and replied, "Tell me honestly, did Kong Xianwang bribe you or something? You have been siding with him since we came back from the workshop."

"What... What does he have to bribe me, huh! I am just telling you my opinion." Ning Tan immediately denied that she was siding with Xianwang.

"Don't forget that, it is a contract marriage. We will part our ways when the contract is over."

"We'll see what future has in store for you." Ning Tan said with a wink.

"Haha... You must be thinking about the dramas we watch, right?"

Ning Tan nodded in reply with a mischievous smile.

"Even if that's the case, but for the next 12 months this man is all yours." The smile that Ning Tan was emitting had a dirty thought behind it.

Mai Yuerui's face instantly turned red.

"What the h*ll do you mean?" She whispered to her.

"You know what I mean. Besides you have seen more dramas then me. You know how that works." Ning Tan said with another mischievous wink.

"You are impossible." Yuerui immediately left Ning Tan behind.

She doesn't want to pollute her mind by hearing her dirty talk.

----------

After everything was over Mai Yuerui went straight to Kong Xianwang's car.

In the car she took a photo of her marriage certificate and sent it to her parents. She took the photo carefully so that the date won't be seen in the picture.

After that the car started for it's destination.

But they didn't go to their house. Instead Mai Yuerui asked Xianwang to drop her at her apartment.

------

In the car, there were only the two of them. But none said anything to the other one.

After the car stopped at the parking spot Mai Yuerui prepared to leave. That's when Xianwang opened his mouth.

"Do you still have to live here? I think you should move in to my house now." Xianwang said.

Yuerui didn't turn towards him. Her hands were still attached to the door when she replied to him coldly, "We are still unmarried to the outside world. So I don't think it will be convenient."

Yuerui was about to open the door when suddenly Xianwang's strong hands grabbed her wrist.

Mai Yuerui still didn't turn towards him.

She asked impatiently,"What is it now?"

"Look at me." Xianwang's voice suddenly became heavy as he ordered her.

Mai Yuerui creased her brows a little and turned to look at him.

"What is it?"

"Kiss me!"

"What? Have you gone mad? You know that our relationship is only on the papers. Besides, you are forbidden to do any harassment to me." Mai Yuerui became excited.

She started to feel scared as well.

'Did Ning Tan brainwash him as well? Is he starting to take this relationship seriously?' Mai Yuerui thought.

But soon she was pulled back into reality when Xianwang whispered softly, "Your Dad is outside. And he is looking at us."

"What? Where is he?" Mai Yuerui became excited and got busy to look for her Dad.

Xianwang smiled softly to see her face.

'She can't do it.' he thought.

Yuerui was busy to look for her Dad and to her surprise the moment her eyes fell on her Dad, Kong Xianwang kissed her on her cheek.

Mai Yuerui's eyes turned wide. She looked at Xianwang with utter disbelief.

Kong Xianwang caressed her cheeks softly and asked,"How was it? Do you like it?"

Mai Yuerui didn't say anything to him. She slowly moved her face to face her Dad who was still watching them.

Xianwang followed her eyes and saw Mai Minghui looking at them.

While Kong Xianwang respectfully nodded to his father-in-law, Mai Yuerui immediately scooted down to hide her face.
