Arranged marriage, love blossoms; a fiercely devoted soldier dotes on her alone.

"Hehe, as the saying goes, a good man doesn't argue with a woman. Even if you win, what's the point? You win the argument but lose the friendship. Let's go eat."

"Director Xia, my wife and I would like to invite you to lunch."

Xiao Zhan said with a smile.

To be honest, his relationship with Xia Keke had long surpassed that of ordinary colleagues; they were like siblings, family, and even close comrades-in-arms who had shared life and death...

Xia Keke glanced at Xiao Zhan and said with a smile, "Huanhuan, remember what I just said, you can't spoil men."

There's a saying that goes, "If you don't discipline someone for three days, they'll start tearing off the roof tiles."

Qin Huanhuan smiled and said, "I know, Sister Coco, I've noted it all down on the lard."

Xia Keke pouted again and said, "You two got your marriage certificate, but I haven't treated you to lunch yet. I'll treat you to lunch."

Qin Huanhuan: "How can that be? A blessing is enough. Let Xiao Zhan pay."

Xiao Zhan sneered, "Why won't my wife let Director Xia treat us to dinner? Not only should she treat us, but she should also give us a big red envelope. Otherwise, how can you call her 'Sister Coco' so easy to deal with?"

Xia Keke laughed and said, "Giving a red envelope is no problem, it's only right. The key is when you're having your wedding. I can't just send the red envelope without knowing why I'm getting married, or I'll end up not getting to drink the wedding wine. Wouldn't that be a waste of my money?"

Qin Huanhuan, unaware of Xia Keke's past romantic experiences, said matter-of-factly, "Keke, when you get married, we'll give you a wedding gift too."

Xia Keke's expression changed slightly. She glanced at Xiao Zhan and said with a hint of self-deprecation, "You've taken this good man. I wonder if you'll even have a chance to give him a wedding gift."

Xiao Zhan interrupted, "I'm hungry, let's go eat."

Qin Huanhuan noticed Xia Keke's change in mood and asked, "Honey, where should we eat lunch?"

"Hua Ying is still waiting for me to give her the address."

Xia Keke raised an eyebrow and said, "I'm a civil servant with a fixed salary. I can't afford a fancy hotel, but a down-to-earth local restaurant is no problem. I'll treat you to some local food for lunch."

Xiao Zhan laughed and said, "I'm not picky about food, as long as someone is treating me."

Qin Huanhuan: "Local cuisine has the most down-to-earth feel. I know a local restaurant that's absolutely delicious and it's also a popular spot for online influencers. If you go late, you'll have to wait in line."

Xia Keke: "Then you lead the way."

Qin Huanhuan's phone did indeed have the address of the local restaurant she and Hua Ying had eaten at before.

So he said, "Okay, I'll talk to Hua Ying first."

"Coco, you don't mind if my best friend comes along, do you?"

Xia Keke shrugged and said, "Of course I don't mind. One table can accommodate a hundred guests. The more people there are, the better the atmosphere for drinking."

Qin Huanhuan sent a message to Hua Ying first.

Then she tidied herself up a bit. She usually doesn't wear makeup and is mostly bare-faced. Sometimes she'll put on some lipstick and light makeup when she meets clients.

A few minutes later,

The three of them took the elevator downstairs.

Xiao Zhan: "It's the weekend, so I let those guys rest. I'm too lazy to drive either."

"Director Xia, let's ride in your car."

Xia Keke drives a car belonging to the National Security Bureau. Although it's not a high-end luxury car, there's something special about the license plate number that the police can understand. Under normal circumstances, she can park anywhere without being ticketed or fined.

Xia Keke: "Of course I have no problem with that, as long as you don't think my car is too low-end."

So the three of them went to the underground parking garage and got into Xia Keke's car. Xia Keke saw the address Qin Huanhuan had given her and laughed, "What a coincidence, we're talking about the same local restaurant!"

Qin Huanhuan: "That means we have the same tastes."

While driving, Xia Keke asked, "Now that you two have your marriage certificate, when are you planning to hold the wedding?"

Qin Huanhuan looked at Xiao Zhan…

This is the second person to ask her about her wedding.

Hua Ying asked her about it last night.

Qin Huanhuan had never really thought about the wedding before.

Just like she told Hua Ying, once they got their marriage certificate, they could live together legally, so why make so many fuss? Later, Hua Ying said something that she felt made some sense.

Xiao Zhan held Qin Huanhuan's hand and said, "I said I would follow your arrangements and I will fully cooperate to give you a grand and unique wedding."

"I've already asked someone to find a wedding house, then we need to renovate it, order furniture and appliances, and also order a wedding dress for you. It probably won't be ready in two or three months."

Qin Huanhuan thought for a moment and said, "Honey, is it okay if we don't have a wedding?"

Xia Keke glanced at Qin Huanhuan in the rearview mirror.

This was the first time she had ever heard of a girl who didn't want to have a wedding. It wasn't like Xiao Zhan was short of money. If the young master of the most powerful family in the capital didn't have a wedding, it would probably become the talk of the town.

Xiao Zhan stared into Qin Huanhuan's eyes and asked, "Huanhuan, do you really not want to hold the wedding?"

Qin Huanhuan looked into Xiao Zhan's deep eyes and nodded.

"Cough cough."

Xia Keke couldn't help but cough twice and said, "Huanhuan, you'd better think this through. A woman only shines once in her life, and it's also a ceremony for a woman to transition into the role of a wife. Don't leave any regrets."

Qin Huanhuan thought for a moment and asked, "Honey, what do your family think?"

Xiao Zhan: "I didn't ask them, but I think they probably want us to have a grand and lavish wedding."

Qin Huanhuan: "Then let's hold it."

"However, I have one request."

Xiao Zhan asked curiously, "What are the requirements?"

Qin Huanhuan: "Go get a prenuptial agreement notarized."

Xiao Zhan asked in surprise, "Why would I need a prenuptial agreement?"

Qin Huanhuan: "You are the sole heir of the Xiao family. I know that your Xiao family has a large business, but those are your Xiao family's assets and have nothing to do with me. Including the wedding house, don't put my name on it, because I didn't take a penny. You know my family's situation. I didn't receive any dowry."

When Xiao Zhan heard Qin Huanhuan say that, he was really about to break down. The woman he had his eye on was just too sensible.

Other women would love to have all of their husband's assets in their own names, but Qin Huanhuan took the initiative to suggest that she have a prenuptial agreement with no name on it.

He must have accumulated a lot of good fortune in his past lives to marry such a sensible and kind woman like Qin Huanhuan...

Xia Keke was also shocked; she gained a completely new understanding of Qin Huanhuan's character...

Xiao Zhan: "Huanhuan, why are we being so clear about things? What's mine is yours, isn't it? I can respect your choices about other things, but the wedding house is for the two of us, and it's a wedding gift from me to you, so your name must be on it."

Qin Huanhuan shook her head and said, "Don't write my name. I've said it before, unless I give you money, I'm just taking advantage of you, no, I'm taking advantage of the Xiao family. I'm with you not for your money or your family fortune, but for your kindness to me, your love for me, and your acceptance of my family. That's enough for me."

Xia Keke truly admired Qin Huanhuan.

Qin Huanhuan's thinking is so upright.

Her worldview and philosophy of life are just too positive.

Xiao Zhan was about to speak.

"squeak!"

Xia Keke braked the car; there was a traffic light intersection ahead.

suddenly,

Xiao Zhan saw a police car in the next lane, with a woman sitting in the passenger seat, and he recognized the woman.

Xiao Zhan blurted out, "Is it Zhao Ruirui?"

"Huanhuan, look! It's Zhao Ruirui!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Huanhuan quickly looked up and indeed saw Zhao Ruirui.

At this moment, Xia Keke frowned and said, "Li Chaobing is driving, so why is Zhao Ruirui sitting in the passenger seat?"

What is the relationship between those two?
