Chapter 328 - Getting Registered
Mia raised an eyebrow, ''Her Highness needs much more beauty sleep to deal with a troublesome neighbor like you,'' She flipped her hair and turned to walk away.
Han Jian Yu glanced at her back as he leaned back on the chair. A sudden urge to stop her here rushed to his mind and he opened his mouth only to close it a second later.
He placed the glass of wine on the table and pushed himself to his feet before walking towards the coffee table. He glanced at the crystal windchime lying inside the exquisite box quietly.
Hearing the sounds from the other side, he raised his head and looked up in the direction of the glass partition.
Mia ascended the staircase without looking back at him.
'This ingrate!' His eyes darkened slightly.
...
"Awake?"
Yu Mei blinked twice as an affirmation and leaned closer to him before placing her head on his shoulder. Her fingers moved to his hair and she ran them there softly.
Unlike the night before, the tent was completely closed at the moment, letting the sun rays enter inside through the small gaps near the window.
Her body was entirely numb as she laid in his arms like a dead fish but her fingers carefully played with the strands of his hair.
Jun Zixuan glanced at her quietly as he moved his palm on her back.
Her eyelashes fluttered and she glanced at him, "Let's get married, shall we?"
He was stunned for a moment.
Her brows tugged together when he did not respond, "What?" Her voice was rather hoarse.
"Now?"
"Mmm..." She leaned closer to his and kissed his chin, "Just a simple one. Let's go to the Civil Affairs Bureau and get registered."
"Just like that?" Didn't she want a high-profile wedding in the past?
"I don't like chaos anymore," She laughed looking at his slow reactions. This old man rarely showed these cute antics of him so she cherished it a little longer before speaking, "Let's get married officially. I don't want a grand wedding where even the guests would be ogling at you. The reporters, crowd...Sigh... It would be very exhausting."
"Lazy," He chuckled.
She sat up from his arms and grabbed the blanket before it could slide down her upper assets, "It's just selective participation. I am not lazy,'' She defended herself.
He glanced at her quietly, ''Are you sure?" He asked after some time.
She nodded.
Three hours later.
The couple walked out of the Civil Affairs Office with two little red booklets in their hand.
Yu Mei could still remember the astonished gazes of the staff. They must be wondering why someone will register for their marriage twice, and that too with the same person. But since it was Jun Zixuan, nobody spoke a word about it.
''Hey,'' She grabbed his arm.
Jun Zixuan turned around to look at her, ''Yes?"
''We are officially married,'' She threw her arms around his neck and pounced on him.
Jun Zixuan staggered a few steps back because of her enthusiasm but he soon stabilized himself and caught her, ''So, Mrs. Jun, today should be our 'Official wedding night'?" He whispered beside her ear.
Yu Mei pulled back from him as she blinked.
Jun Zixuan patiently waited for her response but all he got was a hard pinch on his wrist. He might be a masochist but even her pinch was pleasurable to him.
His eyes darkened.
''You only think about sleeping with me all the time. You just ruined my emotional moment,'' She stomped on his foot before getting inside the car.
"_"
Jun Zixuan was speechless.
She seemed rather normal a few seconds ago... why did her mood swing all of a sudden?
Still a little bewildered, he stepped inside the car.
Probably sensing the ice between the couple, Steward Gu promptly pulled up the partition. They were happily married for the second time but how did his Master end up provoking Young Mistress?
Jun Zixuan glanced at the woman who was not even facing him. She had her face turned towards the windshield as she looked outside.
''Mei...'' He tugged at her knee-length white dress.
She swatted away his hand, ''Humph!"
"_"
He poked her shoulder, ''Love?"
''Who is your Love?!" She turned around to look at him as she tucked the loose strands of her hair behind her ear.
''It has to be you. Who else?'' He nodded seriously at his own words.
''I am on my period yet you are thinking of sleeping with me,'' She glanced at him accusingly as if he was a monster.
Jun Zixuan was taken aback, ''When?"
''In the morning. By the time we reached Ren Mansion.''
''You didn't tell me. How would I know?"
''Are you blaming me now?" Her eyes widened.
''Of course not, it's all my fault in the end,'' Jun Zixuan coaxed her as he pulled her into his arms before he placed her head on his lap.
She glanced at him quietly, ''We are finally married,'' Her anger slowly subsided.
''Mm...''
''But I still hate you,'' She mumbled as she leaned closer to him.
''I hate you too,'' He replied without missing a beat.
She tilted her head to look at him, ''Good,'' She nodded seriously and within a few seconds, he could hear soft snores in the car.
His eyes sparkled as he played with her hair, gently enough to not wake her up.
The kind of hate she spoke of where she would still hug him to sleep. How amusing was that!
Because she was sleep-deprived the previous night and now she was on her period, Yu Mei ended up sleeping till 11 am.
By the time she woke up, her mind was a little muddled. She glanced around the Master Bedroom before getting off the bed quickly.
As her gaze landed on the red booklets on the couch, she rubbed her eyes, ''So it was not a dream,'' She rubbed her eyes and a small smile involuntarily crept up her lips.
