Chapter 717: I’m Married
Li Yuan extended his arm. “Why don’t you give it a pinch?”
Shen Xi gently pinched his arm as her heart raced. She let out a foolish smile. “We’re husband and wife in the eyes of the law, right?”
Li Yuan nodded. “You have the license to prove it, Mrs. Li.”
“Give me your hand, will you?” Shen Xi looked at him with burning enthusiasm.
Li Yuan put his hand out.
‘With one hand holding the marriage license, Shen Xi grabbed Li Yuan’s hand to place it in front of the license. It then hit her. “We don’t have any wedding rings.”
Li Yuan pulled out a necklace from his neck, revealing the peculiar pendant he had always carried around. The oddly shaped pendant was in the form of a unique and beautiful crescent.
Shen Xi watched as he took off the pendant. He once told her that his deceased grandparents left him this. Since then, he always wore it without ever removing it once.
Li Yuan took the pendant off and gently pressed on the outthrust on the crescent. The crescent then popped out to display two rings inside.
The rings were of a simple design, albeit both rings had their halves missing. To her surprise, some sort of hidden mechanism seemed to be triggered when Li Yuan took the rings. The rings became whole.
Shen Xi’s eyes widened. It was unknown what the ring was made of as it gave out a rather comfortable vibe. The design may be simple, but Shen Xi could not take her eyes away from its uniqueness.
Li Yuan took the ladies’ ring and kneeled before her. “Ms. Shen, will you marry me?”
It was an overly simplified formality, but he believed that there was no better time than the present. It all happened so naturally and fittingly. Everything was just right.
Shen Xi held her hand out to him while solemnly pointing out a fact. “Mr. Li, we’ve got our marriage license.”
Li Yuan curled his lips in delight as his eyes became watery. Holding her hand, he earnestly and tenderly put the ring on her finger like it was the most valuable treasure in the world.
The ring fit her just right.
Shen Xi glanced at the ring and smiled sweetly. “It looks good.”
After admiring her wedding band for a bit, she put out her hand. “Hand me the other ring.”
Li Yuan gave her the ring.
Shen Xi said, “Give me your hand.”
Li Yuan gave her his hand. The girl held his hand and solemnly put the ring on his middle finger before happily nodding with a smile. “We can take a picture now.”
Two minutes later.
Shen Xi’s WeChat moments blew up.
She posted on her Moments. “I’m married.”
There was also a photo of their interlocking fingers, showing off their wedding bands in front of the red glistening marriage license under the sunlight.
Fu Qingli set a special reminder on Shen Xi’s profile so he would obtain first-hand notification whenever Shen Xi posted. With great joy, he went to take a look only to receive such a message.
Going ballistic, Fu Qingli smashed his fist on the table. The glass that sat nearby dropped and smashed to smithereens by the huge force.
The executives, who were in the middle of the meeting with Fu Qingli, exchanged glances in confusion, but their complexions paled as they held their breaths.
Did they say something wrong? Why did Mr. Fu throw a huge temper?
That did not seem right. Despite how angry, Mr. Fu had always kept a straight face. His looks were enough to kill anyone, so there was no need to slam the table.
Fu Qingli clutched his phone in a death grip while tension rose in his presence, threatening to suck the air out of everyone in the room. He coldly blurted, “Go on with the meeting.”
He then walked out of the meeting room and hissed through clenched teeth. “Xu Xu, get the plane ready. I’m flying to China now.”
Xu Xu had no idea what had happened, but judging by the looks of Young Master Qingli, it had to be something huge. Otherwise, Young Master Qingli would not be experiencing such mood swings.
While making his way to the office, Fu Qingli gave Fu Qingye a call. “What’s with Li Yuan? What is he trying to pull? No one is breaking them apart. It’s not like we’re going to stop them from getting married, but Xixi has only turned 18. He… He’s asking for it!”
Had he known, Fu Qingli would not have let Xixi leave. It had only been a day and a night since she left, yet they got a marriage license already!
Li Yuan had to be behind this. The b*stard was afraid their family was against their marriage, so he rushed to make Xixi his.
Xixi was fooled. An innocent girl like her was tricked to sign her name on the marriage license.
Fu Qingye would be lying if he said he was not furious and upset. It never occurred to him that Xixi would tie the knot without warning. It was reckless of her. Getting a grip on himself, he uttered, “Calm down, Qingli. No point crying over spilled milk. We should figure out what to do next.”
“What else? They have to divorce! Call Xixi now and tell her to divorce.” With fury overtaking every inch of his being, Fu Qingli gnashed his teeth to fight back the urge to tear Li Yuan apart.
Could they not at least talk to the family first, instead of blindsiding the family with a marriage license? Did the couple not take the family’s feelings into consideration?
“You call her and tell her yourself.” Fu Qingye did not have the nerve to tell her off. He knew more than anyone how invested Xixi was to Li Yuan. It was impossible for her to let go of Li Yuan.
Besides, it was uncertain whose idea it was to go to the city hall. Li Yuan loved her too much and wanted nothing but the best for her. He would not act on impulse when it came to marriage.
It was 99% Xixi’s idea.
“L..” Rage saw Fu Qingli heaving heavily. “I wouldn’t bother looking for you if she and I are on good terms.”
Fu Qingli reached a stalemate in his relationship with Xixi. Although they were in a better place now, Xixi would only think he was a pain in the *ss if he looked for her now.
Fu Qingye sighed. “Let me ask Xixi. I’ll fly to China now.”
Fu Qingli jumped in. “I’m going too!”
Now that their dear sister had gotten married on paper, of course, they had to be there. They were owed an explanation. After the marriage license, the wedding must come next.
Fu Qingye was suffocated with bitter emotions at the thought of his sister walking down the aisle. His long-lost sister had become someone’s bride before he had a chance to spoil her..
