"The gift for getting the marriage certificate isn't expensive."

Shen Ze looked at Lin Xiao: "This one, swipe your card."

Lin Xiao was stunned: "Just buy it?"

"Um."

"Would you like to take a look at some other styles?"

"Need not."

Shen Ze took out his bank card and handed it over: "Full payment."

The three salespeople next to him looked over at the same time.

There was no comparison, no hesitation.

A necklace worth one million was bought outright after just one try-on.

The salesperson in charge of the cashier took the card much more gently.

The notification sounded that the card had been successfully swiped. Lin Xiao looked at the printed receipt and was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

My old class monitor from university can now casually buy a necklace for a million dollars.

A female customer who was picking out earrings in the store also looked over and whispered to her companion, "That necklace cost a million, and he didn't even blink."

His companion looked on with envy: "The key is that he wasn't doing it to show off. His wife thought it looked good on her, so he just bought it."

"Handsome, rich, and generous to his wife—where can you find a man like that?"

Lin Xiao returned the bank card to Shen Ze with both hands, her tone even more solemn than before.

"Squad leader, payment completed."

"Do we need to put the necklaces on for you?"

"No need, she's wearing it."

Shen Ze took Yu Binglan's hand: "Let's go."

As the two left the store, it was already getting dark.

The lights along Nanjing Road gradually came on, and more and more people appeared on the street.

After getting back into the car, Shen Ze glanced at the time.

"If we go back now, Uncle Yu should already be resting."

Yu Binglan turned her head to look at him: "My dad doesn't usually rest this early."

"Today might be an exception."

"What are you trying to say?"

Shen Ze moved closer to her and lowered his voice: "It's very quiet over at Ziyuan."

"And we just got our marriage certificate today, so Dad made sure we were alone together."

"Mrs. Shen, would you like to come back to Ziyuan with me?"

Yu Binglan looked at him, and the corners of her lips slowly turned up: "Okay."

……

A black Rolls-Royce drove into the Purple Garden Villa.

After the car came to a complete stop, the driver got out and opened the car door.

Shen Ze stepped down first, then turned around and handed his hand to Yu Binglan.

Yu Binglan placed her hand in his palm, and as soon as she got out of the car, Shen Ze put his arm around her slender waist.

"Mrs. Shen, we're home."

Upon hearing this address, Yu Binglan's cheeks flushed slightly.

She looked up at the villa in front of her, and her feelings were completely different from before.

She had been here before.

From today onwards, this place is not only Shen Ze's home, but also their home.

"Welcome home, Mrs. Shen."

Shen Ze repeated it again.

Yu Binglan couldn't help but smile: "Are you addicted to yelling today?"

"It's legal, so why can't we call it that?"

"You're already so smug after only a few hours of getting your marriage certificate?"

"Of course I'm proud to have married you."

Shen Ze answered as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

Yu Binglan felt incredibly happy inside, but on the surface, she deliberately asked, "Then tell me, what's so great about marrying me?"

"Appearance, physique, ability, family background."

Shen Ze looked down at her: "What isn't worth it?"

Yu Binglan has a slender figure, but her proportions are excellent.

The simple white long dress hugged her waistline, outlining her graceful curves.

The million-dollar floral diamond necklace rested on her delicate collarbone, rising and falling gently with her breath.

She was already stunningly beautiful with a cool and aloof appearance, and the light made her skin appear even whiter and her eyes even more captivating.

You couldn't find many women like that in the entire city of Shanghai.

More importantly, she is now his wife.

Yu Binglan's face grew even hotter under his gaze: "Just this?"

"Of course not."

Shen Ze moved closer to her: "Most importantly, you are Yu Binglan."

A single sentence was enough to make Yu Binglan lose her composure.

She nestled into Shen Ze's arms, gently wrapping her arms around his waist: "Mr. Shen, you did a great job on the first day of getting our marriage certificate."

"Only good?"

"What kind of evaluation do you want?"

I'll tell you slowly later.

After Shen Ze finished speaking, he picked her up in his arms.

Suddenly lifted into the air, Yu Binglan gasped and quickly wrapped her arms around his neck.

"Shen Ze!"

"Call me husband."

"Put me down first."

"I won't let go."

"Someone is watching."

"This is our home."

Shen Ze carried her into the villa.

Upon seeing this, the servant immediately lowered her head and tactfully stepped aside.

Yu Binglan's cheeks turned bright red, so she buried her face in Shen Ze's chest, leaving only a section of her red earlobe exposed.

The villa was very quiet.

Shen Ze carried her upstairs and into the master bedroom.

The moment the door closed, all outside sounds were completely cut off.

Shen Ze looked down at the woman in his arms, a faint, elegant fragrance lingering around his nose.

It wasn't a strong perfume scent, but rather her unique fragrance, sweet and gentle, making people reluctant to let go once they got close.

Shen Ze gently placed her on the edge of the bed, but did not back away.

The two remained very close.

Yu Binglan looked up at him: "Why aren't you saying anything?"

"I haven't gotten used to it yet."

"Adapt to what?"

"You are already my wife."

Shen Ze reached out and took out their marriage certificate, then flipped it open and glanced at it.

The two people in the photo are sitting side by side, the stamp is clear, and their identities and relationship have officially changed.

This is not a verbal promise.

From this day forward, they are a legally recognized married couple.

Yu Binglan leaned against him, looking down at the group photo: "Does it feel real now?"

"A little."

"Only a little?"

"Almost there."

Shen Ze put down the marriage certificate, lifted her chin, and lowered his head to kiss her.

Yu Binglan did not hide. She was always aloof to people outside and even more decisive when managing the company.

She always maintained a distance, whether facing suitors or business partners.

But in front of Shen Ze, that aloofness seemed to have never existed.

She reserved all her tenderness, dependence, and gentleness for the man before her.

After a short while, the two slowly separated.

Yu Binglan's breathing became erratic, and the lipstick on her lips was smudged.

She raised her hand and touched the corner of Shen Ze's mouth, unable to help but laugh, "Don't move."

"What's wrong?"

Lipstick.

She took out a tissue and gently wiped away the red marks left on Shen Ze's lips.

The movements were very light and careful.

Shen Ze looked at her face so close to his own and reached out to hug her waist tightly.

"Ice Storm".

"Um?"

"I love you."

Yu Binglan paused for a moment.

She looked up, not avoiding his gaze: "I love you too."

The lights in the master bedroom gradually dimmed.

The night was deep, and the entire Ziyuan Villa was so quiet that only the two of them could be heard whispering.

……

The next morning.

The first ray of sunlight pierced through the gap in the curtains and fell on the bedside.

Yu Binglan woke up first.

She didn't get up immediately, but quietly leaned against the pillows, turning to her side to examine Shen Ze.

After falling asleep, Shen Ze lost his usual calmness and sharpness; his brows and eyes relaxed, and his breathing became steady.
