The car stopped outside the Civil Affairs Bureau. Caleb got out to open the car door for Gabriel who approached Serenity’s door to do the same. Serenity was staring blankly at the Civil Affairs Bureau.

He opened the car door. “Come on.”

She shifted her gaze to him, her clear eyes calm. “Have you thought it through?”

The thin autumn sunlight shone on his tall and handsome body as his usually cold face looked at her gently. “Are you trying to persuade me to abandon you?”

Serenity was speechless.

She got out of the car with her bag and entered the Civil Affairs Bureau with him.

Gabriel had informed the Civil Affairs Bureau in advance so the red marriage certificate was handed to them in less than ten minutes.

As she stood outside the Civil Affairs Bureau with a small red book in hand, she studied it. Gabriel stood beside her and asked, “Does it feel real now?”

“It feels even more unreal,” said she in a daze.

Gabriel lifted his hand and pinched her fair little face. He didn’t use much strength, but it still hurt her. She covered her face and glared at him with resentment. He calmly asked, “How about now?”

Serenity was speechless.

After getting into the car, Serenity started to think about how she should tell Benjamin Rivers and Helena Turner when she got back. Benjamin would not object to this matter and would probably be very happy. However, as for Helena…

Not only did they get a marriage certificate, but they also had a child. They were acting first and reporting later. Would Helena be angry?

There was another question that troubled her as well. She turned and looked at Gabriel seriously. “We should continue to act professionally at work, alright?”

Gabriel indifferently said, “If you think that being a mere employee is more satisfying than being the president’s wife, suit yourself.”

The two reached an agreement and she was relieved. Half an hour later, the car stopped outside the company. Caleb got out of the car and opened the door for her. “Young Madam, you may alight.”

Serenity did not manage to react in time when she heard the word ‘Young Madam’. She was stunned for a moment before she came to her senses. Then, she grabbed her bag and got out of the car awkwardly.

Caleb closed the car door and saw Gabriel still sitting in the car. She looked at the man in the car and asked, “Aren’t you going back to the company?”

“There’s a contract to discuss,” said Gabriel calmly.

She nodded and entered the company. Gabriel then shouted for Caleb to drive after seeing her figure disappear through the glass door.

In the elevator, Serenity took out her marriage certificate and looked at it again. When she reached the floor, she adjusted her state of mind before walking out of the elevator and returning to the office to work seriously.

It was almost lunchtime, but Gabriel had yet to return. Her good mood earlier gradually turned melancholic.

At around two o’clock in the afternoon, Gabriel returned to the company. When he passed by the secretary’s office, he saw Serenity busy typing away at some documents. Her fair and slender fingers were nimble on the keyboard.

Gabriel entered the office and sat back in his office chair. Then, he asked, “Do computers give off harmful radiation to pregnant women?”

Caleb didn’t even have a girlfriend, so he wouldn’t know either. However, in the past, when someone in the secretariat got pregnant, they would wear anti-radiation clothes. “Perhaps.”

Gabriel did not say another word. He turned on his computer and logged into his email. Since he was not around for the entire morning, several unread emails were waiting for his attention.

Caleb quickly gave it a thought and said, “The purchasing department spends less time on the computer..”
