Chapter 193
The day after leaving school, Xiao Jinmeng and Shi Shuning went to get their marriage certificate.
With the marriage certificate in hand, Shi Shuning started to show off shamelessly in front of Xiao Yuanning. "Little brother, call me brother-in-law!"
Xiao Yuanning's face darkened. Catching sight of his sister coming in, he immediately put on a pitiful expression and said, "Sis, he's bullying me~"
Xiao Jinmeng promptly came over and grabbed Shi Shuning's ear. "I haven't even settled accounts with you for keeping secrets from me before, and now you're bullying my brother? Watch out, or I'll spank you!"
"Wife, wife, it hurts! I was wrong, I was wrong!" Shi Shuning shot Xiao Yuanning a resentful look, and Xiao Yuanning stuck out his tongue at him in response.
Xiao Jinmeng's face reddened at being called "wife" twice. She let go of his ear and awkwardly cleared her throat. "What are you calling me that for!"
Shi Shuning grinned foolishly. "With the red booklet in hand, from today on, you're my wife! Whether you acknowledge it or not, I'm officially on the job, certified by law!"
Xiao Jinmeng covered her face and snuggled into Shi Shuning's arms. Watching the two of them display their affection, Xiao Yuanning couldn't help but shudder, feeling goosebumps all over. Resigned, he retreated to the kitchen to cut some fruit for the couple.
A week later, Ye Wanwan also started her summer vacation. During this time, Ye Junli and Gu Qi had learned about Wanwan's mild depression.
Gu Qi stroked Ye Wanwan's hand lovingly. "Wanwan, if anything's bothering you, just tell Mom and Dad. Don't keep it bottled up. As long as you're all healthy and happy, that's our greatest wish. Nothing else matters."
Ye Wanwan nodded and threw herself into Gu Qi's arms. "Mom, thank you."
Ye Junli cleared his throat, feeling a bit jealous. He put on a stern face and said, "Dad feels the same way as your mom."
Everyone around them couldn't help but snicker. Ye Wanwan also couldn't hold back her laughter. She sat down next to her father, linking her arm with his, and cooed, "Dad, thank you!"
Ye Junli's expression finally softened. Gu Qi rolled her eyes at him. "Honestly, you're even jealous of me!"
The next day, He Junting temporarily handed over the company to his father to manage and took Wanwan on a trip to South Island.
Xiao Jinmeng watched the plane take off with tears in her eyes. She said plaintively, "I want to go on a trip too!"
Shi Shuning took her hand. "Let's go then!"
"But, but we still have to work."
Shi Shuning had his own company and had just hired a large batch of fresh graduates. He couldn't possibly abandon the company.
She also had her own studio. Although she didn't need to be in the office all the time, she still couldn't leave Shuning and go off to have fun by herself.
Xiao Jinmeng felt a bit dejected.
Shi Shuning smiled. "Don't worry, leave everything to me. After all, we do need to spend some time alone together."
Shi Shuning's suggestive and fiery gaze made Xiao Jinmeng blush uncontrollably. Understanding his implication, she reached out and swatted him. "Behave yourself!"
Shi Shuning feigned innocence. "How am I misbehaving? We haven't been on a trip in two years. We really should go traveling to nurture our relationship. Little Chubby Meng, you're the one with the unhealthy thoughts~"
Xiao Jinmeng's face turned even redder. She glared at him fiercely, stomped her foot, and ran off.
Shi Shuning chased after her, laughing. "Wife, wife, wait for me!"
True to his word, Shi Shuning wrapped up all company matters in two days and whisked Xiao Jinmeng away on a spontaneous trip.
However, Shi Shuning didn't plan to take Meng to South Island to meet up with Ye Wanwan and the others. Instead, they went to Ha City. After all, no one wants their romantic getaway to turn into a girls' party.
Arriving at their booked hotel room in Ha City, Xiao Jinmeng listened to the sound of running water from the bathroom. Her face couldn't help but redden, and she awkwardly picked up her phone to message Wanwan.
"Wanwan, are you having fun?"
Ye Wanwan quickly sent back a bunch of beautiful scenery photos and selfies.
"It's so much fun! The scenery here is gorgeous. Next time, let's come together!"
In the photos, Ye Wanwan's face was rosy, and she was smiling broadly in selfies with He Junting. Their happiness was palpable.
Xiao Jinmeng smiled contentedly. In this lifetime, Wanwan could finally be happy with Junting.
Just as she was about to reply to Wanwan, her phone was snatched away, and she found herself in the arms of Shi Shuning, who was still slightly damp from his shower.
"Wife, it's time for bed."
Before Xiao Jinmeng could react, her lips were sealed with a kiss.
From that moment on, their world contained only each other.
