Chapter 3482: A New Addition (98)
Gu Jinglian sat on the long bench with a dark expression. He was obviously on the verge of exploding. Why was it taking so long to get a marriage certificate?
He said frostily, “Waste of time.”
Chu He was speechless as she stood at the side and held her forehead. “We could have gotten it this morning, but you insisted on buying clothes!”
Gu Jinglian glared at her, but Chu He glared back defiantly.
Butler Fu walked over and handed her his wallet. He asked, “Why did you go out without any money?”
“I didn’t think we needed to pay to register our marriage.”
“The Civil Affairs Bureau is not a charity organization.” Butler Fu looked at the time. There was over an hour before the afternoon shift started. He said, “Everyone’s off work now. Why don’t we go for some food, Old Master?”
Gu Jinglian did not say a word, clearly unwilling to move.
After running around the mall all morning, he obviously didn’t wish to be walking around some more.
Seeing this, the helpless butler walked to the side to make a call.
…
At work in the afternoon, a few of the staff walked towards the counter, talking as they went. “I met an odd couple this morning. The man looked reluctant, like he’d been forced to marry.”
“Oh, I saw them too! That man is so handsome! But he gives off scary vibes. He has got such an ominous presence.”
“I heard that they came early in the morning and got their queue number. When it was their turn, it turned out that they didn’t bring any money! It was hilarious!”
The group laughed and walked into the hall. As soon as they walked in, they caught a whiff of an enticing aroma. Following the aroma, they walked into the hall and were all dumbfounded.
In the hall, all the long benches had been pushed to one side. In the middle of the room, there was a wooden dining table. On the dining table, there were exquisite and gorgeous looking delicacies, and the fragrance was overwhelming.
The entire scene was incompatible with the shabby registration hall of the Civil Affairs Bureau. The cutlery, especially, was made of superior silver and was beautifully crafted.
Butler Fu and a few chefs stood respectfully by the side. At the dining table, Gu Jinglian ate elegantly. Even against the plain backdrop, he maintained his noble bearing while eating.
Chu He sat opposite him and was forcing herself to eat.
Just half an hour ago, Butler Fu had made a call to the Royal Oriental Restaurant, the most luxurious Chinese restaurant in the capital. Hence, the restaurant’s manager had personally led his troop of workers in delivering this sumptuous dishes over.
Before the meal, the hotel manager personally came forward and sprayed disinfectant on the table, and diligently wiped the table several times before Gu Jinglian strolled over to take his seat.
This was…
Perverse! Arrgggh!
…
Chu He was dumbfounded when she saw the workers carrying the luxurious dining table in.
It was just a meal. Was there a need to put on such a grand display?
They could just as well have a bowl of noodles at a roadside stall?
However, having contemplated this, given Gu Jinglian’s personality, it seemed unlikely that he would lower himself and be willing to sit at a shabby table, dining by the roadside.
However, since they were already here, she thought they might as well take things as they came.
Chu He braced herself and sat down.
The few staff members were flabbergasted.
What the hell was going on?
What did these people take the Civil Affairs Bureau for?
A cafeteria?!
Just as they were about to walk over to reason with them, Butler Fu intervened and whispered something to them. When the women heard this, their eyes widened and they started trembling in fear!
What!?
The man seated at this table was actually…
Ah… good heavens, they seemed to have treated him with rudeness this morning, didn’t they?
The group of people huddled together trembling..
