Chapter 248: Did They Break Up?
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Not long after Shen Yanqing left the bedroom, Nan Ge woke up. She was not woken up by the alarm clock previously but by Nan Zhe’s call.
“Hello...
She answered the call in a daze and did not even open her eyes to see the caller ID.
Which insensible person would call her so early in the morning?
Hearing her half-dead voice, Nan Zhe knew that she was still asleep. “What time is it? Do you know what you and Shen Yanqing are going to do?”
“It’s fine if you usually sleep in, but you can still sleep on such a day. How heartless are you, Nan Ge?!”
Nan Ge, ‘
After being scolded for no reason, she had no choice but to wake up.
“Hurry up and get up!”
“Okay, got it.” Nan Ge pretended to hang up the phone, but Nan Zhe started chattering again. “I took a look at the road situation. There’s a little traffic on Zhongshan Road. Go another way.”
“Oh.” “Also, dress smartly.”
“I know.”
“Tell Shen Yanqing to drive slower on the road. Don’t drive.”
After listening to him nag for more than ten minutes, Nan Ge was completely awake.
With her brother’s seriousness, those who did not know better would think that she was only three years old this year and could not take care of herself.
After hanging up, she got up and looked around. She did not see Shen Yanqing.
She was not in a hurry to look for him. After washing up, she opened the master bedroom door and leaned against the door frame. She shouted, “Shen Yanqing!”
Seeing that no one answered, she took a deep breath and gathered her strength.
“Shen—”
“You’re awake so early?” Shen Yanqing’s voice sounded from the corner before the figure was visible.
Nan Ge blinked. “Early? My brother scolded me on the phone.”
She subconsciously complained. Her tone was still soft and nasal from waking up. It sounded aggrieved and coquettish.
Shen Yanqing looked vexed. “I forgot to mute it for you.”
He went forward, hugged her, and went back to the room. “Sleep a little longer?
You don’t have to be in such a hurry today.”
It was still early for the Civil Affairs Bureau to get off work.
He had not planned to go so early in the morning. It was just that last night, Nan Ge had set an alarm clock for the morning before she went to bed and insisted on being the first couple to get registered today.
Anyway, they could not be first now.
Hearing this, Nan Ge waved her hand. “No, no. My brother is supervising us. He’s so annoying.”
“I’ll go change and put on makeup. We’ll leave in a while.”
As soon as she finished speaking, she yawned and entered the closet.
Shen Yanqing did not think that her “a while” really meant a while. He did not dare to rush her and disturb her. He changed his clothes and waited for her outside.
As expected, it was almost eleven o’clock when Nan Ge came out again.
During this period, Nan Zhe could not get through to Nan Ge’s phone. He kept sending him messages to ask if they had finished registering their marriage. Throughout the entire process, Nan Zhe asked a total of eight times.
His answer was always the same. “I’m not out yet.”
Every time, Nan Zhe would curse.
Eight times. No repetition.
“How do I look?” Nan Ge came out and walked around in front of him.
The clothes she was wearing today were prepared two days ago. Shen Yanqing had seen them before, but he still praised her, “You’re very beautiful.”
“How about my makeup?” Afraid he couldn’t see clearly, she leaned forward again, blinking in anticipation. “I put on some light makeup today. Can you tell?”
At most, Shen Yanqing was short-sighted and not blind. He continued praising her.
If he said it was good, it was good. Nan Ge was in a good mood. “Okay! Let’s
On the way, Nan Ge received a WeChat message from Nan Zhe. It was another string of friendly greetings.
Nan Zhe: [You two are really slow. Are you still in time? The Civil Affairs Bureau is about to close!]
Nan Ge was stunned when she saw this.
She only knew what time the Civil Affairs Bureau opened in the morning and did not pay attention to the closing time.
She looked away from the screen and looked at Shen Yanqing, who was driving. She asked, “What time does the Civil Affairs Bureau get off work at noon?”
“If I remember correctly, it should be around twelve o’clock.”
Nan Ge quickly looked at the time. “Is it too late?”
It was already eleven o’clock.
Shen Yanqing glanced at the time on the display screen and smiled. “Don’t worry, there’s still time.”
“I asked my married classmates before. They said that the registration was quite fast. It should take about ten minutes. It’s not too late to go from here.” Nan Ge heaved a sigh of relief.
“It’s okay. If it’s really late, it’s fine. We can have lunch nearby and stroll around. It’s been a while since I shopped with you.”
During this period of time, he had been busy with the wedding and Nan Ge was busy with school. The two of them had not had a proper date for a while.
Nan Ge still had a graduation trip in July. The wedding was next month.
From the looks of it, the next official date between the two of them would probably be after the wedding.
“Where do you plan to go on your graduation trip?” There was still a distance to the Civil Affairs Bureau. Shen Yanqing found a topic to distract her.
As her thoughts raced, Nan Ge shook her head and said, “We haven’t decided yet. The four of us plan to go overseas, but we haven’t thought of which country to go to. However, we don’t want to go too far.”
Since it was all girls and safety were one of their concerns, they unanimously decided to choose from a few nearby countries. “Thailand? It’s not a bad time to go there this season.”
Shen Yanqing helped to plan.
“That’s one of the options.”
“Have you thought about the length of your trip?”
“Two weeks?” After she finished speaking, she stole a glance at him. “Is that too long? Can you stay at home alone?”
Her teasing tone made Shen Yanqing laugh. He simply followed her words and said, “We just became a legally married couple but I have to stay alone in an empty room. I’m afraid I won’t be able to sleep at night.”
Nan Ge laughed so hard that she fell backward.
“Then what should we do? This graduation trip is also very important. It shouldn’t be good to bring family members, right?”
Shen Yanqing had disturbed their trip last time. This was a graduation trip, so of course he would not follow them.
If he continued to follow her, it would be too inappropriate.
A sigh came from the driver’s seat. “It’s alright. It’s only half a month. It’ll pass in a few days.”
Nan Ge raised her hand to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes. “Seriously, is it really okay for me to be gone for so long? Is there anything else you want me to do?”
She was referring to the wedding.
“I don’t think there’s anything else.” She had already tried her wedding dress and chosen the one she liked. It was still too early for the wedding rehearsal, so she didn’t have to worry about it for now.
“Then I can go on holiday without worry. If you’re bored at home, give yourself a break and go fishing with my brother.”
“He’s been quite free recently.” Nan Ge clicked her tongue. “I wonder if they’ve broken up. I don’t dare to ask.”
“Never mind, forget it.” She quickly skipped the topic. “Anyway, he has a lot of plans. Call him if you’re bored.”
Shen Yanqing did not respond. “I’m going on a business trip next month too. I don’t think I have time to take leave..”
