Before he died, my grandfather forced me to marry the richest man in the capital.
Chapter 280 Divorce - A Lonely Experience
The early morning sunlight peeked in through the white gauze curtains by the window, offering a glimpse of the room's view.
As the saying goes, don't brag beforehand, then gloat afterward. Tang Junyao was too excited and gloating last night, which led to serious aftereffects today.
At this moment, she was so tired that she couldn't even lift her fingertips, and she was so tightly restrained. She was so tired last night that she fell asleep without knowing how she took a shower or how she got back. But even a fool could tell that it was this well-fed man next to her who served her.
A hoarse voice came from under the covers, startling the usually alert man. He opened his sleepy eyes and looked directly at her, not immediately checking his phone. "Awake? Are you alright?"
Tang Junyao stubbornly insisted, her lips twitching slightly, "It's nothing."
In reality, that wasn't what she really thought at all. She vowed never to be arrogant again; this man was quite capable in that area, and she surrendered.
Hearing this, he smiled slightly, with a hint of danger in his expression. "Wife, are you questioning my abilities? It seems I'll have to work twice as hard next time. You planted 280 flowers last night. I underestimated your abilities. Let's try 520 next time."
Tang Junyao: There's no need for that. I was just kidding. I didn't intend to hang it on the bed.
Everyone dies eventually. Death can be as weighty as Mount Tai or as light as a feather. But this kind of death is the most embarrassing, which she doesn't want. At least dying on the front line of saving lives can earn her some praise.
Perhaps some people still remember her kindness.
Ji Hancheng didn't expose her, knowing that things had gone too far last night. After they finished, he carried her to take a shower and she fell asleep. This woman wouldn't fall asleep unless she was extremely tired. He turned to the side, grabbed his phone, and glanced at the time. "7:08. I've already asked for leave for you."
She blinked her round eyes, her eyelashes trembling slightly, like a brush brushing across his heart, "When did you take leave?"
Weren't we having an in-depth conversation last night? I didn't see him call the hospital.
"After you fall asleep, can you get up? If you can't, we'll go tomorrow. I can wait."
Tang Junyao wanted to say that he was really scheming, his face clearly showing that he wanted a title. At this moment, the green tea man came online and said that he was not in a hurry, "I'm not that insecure, get up."
Who did he think he was? He was proven wrong the very next second. He threw off the covers, his legs went weak, and he stumbled and fell to the ground. He quickly grabbed the edge of the bed with his right hand, cursing himself and Ji Hancheng in his heart.
Seeing this, Ji Hancheng chuckled, but quickly got out of bed and picked her up by the waist. The sudden suspension made her instinctively hug his neck tightly, and he carried her into the bathroom.
He gently placed her on the ground and asked affectionately, "Do you want me to help you wash the dishes? Should I get you a stool?"
Tang Junyao refused without hesitation, "No need, I can manage myself. Let's divide the work: I'll wash up, and you change your clothes, okay?"
Ji Hancheng stood behind her, his arm around her waist. He had recently taken a particular liking to hug her from behind, resting his chin on her shoulder. The gesture felt real. He gazed intently at their reflection in the mirror; they looked so well-matched.
After hugging for a while, Tang Junyao squeezed out the toothpaste and urged again, "Do you want a formal title or not? If you do, hurry up and stop dawdling."
Of all the people in the entire capital who could speak to him like that, this woman was the only one who did, and he was actually quite happy about it.
That's so shameless.
He smiled and said, "Okay."
On this special day, with its special ceremony and unique attire, just as Tang Junyao was about to search for clothes in the closet, Ji Hancheng's voice came from beside the bed, "Wear that casual white shirt in the middle."
She turned to look at the bedside, her hand still resting on a light blue dress, and asked疑惑地问道, "Are there any rules about getting a marriage certificate? Didn't we have no requirements when we got ours before?"
I can't remember what she was wearing two years ago, maybe a t-shirt, but I don't recall the color. After the divorce, I think she didn't get the invalidated marriage certificate, only the divorce certificate.
The photo on the divorce certificate was found in her phone's photo album, while the photo of Ji Hancheng as a single man was provided by his grandfather.
Ji Hancheng explained without changing his expression, "The background color of the marriage certificate is red. Wearing white will better highlight the red background color, and a white shirt will also brighten it up, making the photo look better."
Tang Junyao narrowed her eyes at him and asked tentatively, "Did you find it online?"
He responded casually, his hands already buttoning his white shirt. "Hmm."
Okay, even though it's my second marriage to this man, I still want to participate in the ceremony. So I chose that casual shirt with embroidery on the chest, paired with light-colored platform jeans, and styled my hair in a high ponytail.
When they arrived, a bright red Mercedes-Benz was already parked in front of the Civil Affairs Bureau, undoubtedly Su Xue's.
Ji Hancheng parked the car, stepped out, and Tang Junyao followed suit.
As soon as they got out of the car, Lu Jinnan complained, "Brother, could you guys be any slower? We've been waiting for half an hour, and it's already 7:58."
Tang Junyao: 7:58? I remember their divorce was around 7:48 pm.
Ji Hancheng couldn't help but retort, "I'm supposed to be at work by 8 a.m. sharp. Am I supposed to be standing at the door like a giraffe, getting up that early?"
The opening hours of the Civil Affairs Bureau in Beijing are half an hour earlier than in other regions. In some places it is 8:30 and in others it is 9:00. Beijing has a large population, and there are a lot of divorces and marriages every day, so the opening hours are set half an hour earlier. After all, in half an hour, several couples can get married and several couples can get divorced.
Lu Jinnan: "I can't help it, I'm just too excited to get my marriage certificate for the first time."
Ji Hancheng felt he was being subtly insulted. So what if they got their marriage certificate a second time? He hadn't changed his wife.
Looking at Su Xue and Lu Jinnan's outfits again, it's no wonder the photos won't look good. They really are inexperienced.
The two, who always prefer bright colors, are dressed in pink this time. Su Xue is wearing a pink dress and white high heels, while Lu Jinnan is wearing a pink casual shirt and light-colored jeans.
It's eye-catching and flamboyant.
Glancing at their outfits, Tang Junyao's first impression was that the two of them had gone to extremes.
She glanced at the shopping bag in Su Xue's hand. "What did you bring? Your household registration booklet?"
Su Xue thought she was very experienced, so she proudly showed her best friend the contents of the bag and kindly opened it for her to see, "Clothes, I brought two sets, do you think they're especially beautiful? I plan to take a few more pictures later."
Tang Junyao: "............."
Taking a deep breath, I reminded her, "Sisters, you're here to take your marriage certificate, not wedding photos. This is the Civil Affairs Bureau, not a photography studio. Are you sure you haven't come to the wrong place?"
Su Xue looked at him with certainty, "Oh, the most important first time in life should be commemorated in a special way. Young Master Ji, can you help me put in a good word for it?"
Su Xue felt that Ji Hancheng must have connections, since Grandpa Ji was able to unilaterally divorce her, which meant that he definitely had acquaintances at the Civil Affairs Bureau.
She's so smart, and her analysis is so insightful.
Ji Hancheng was in a good mood today, so he agreed, but he was brief and replied with just one word, "Mm."
The four of them strode into the Civil Affairs Bureau, being the first to enter and the earliest to arrive. Although several other couples had arrived, they all quietly lined up behind them, as these four were simply too eye-catching and had an overwhelming presence.
The four people sat side by side in front of the service counter, placing their ID cards and household registration books on the table. However, Ji Hancheng and Tang Junyao had two extra documents: their divorce certificates.
Ji Hancheng didn't greet the leaders here today. He wanted to be an ordinary person and go through all the normal procedures for getting married and registering the marriage with Yao Yao.
Wait patiently and follow the instructions of the staff.
The staff member casually flipped through the documents on the table and said indifferently, "Go take your photo first, then fill out the form."
Su Xue took several photos and gave the photographer a large red envelope as a token of her gratitude. She felt obligated to accept the gift, and the photographer was very attentive and meticulous in taking the photos.
Ultimately, the photographer suggested that Su Xue choose the photo of her wearing white as her marriage certificate photo. Su Xue looked at the other photos of brightly colored clothes with reluctance, but in the end, she also chose the photo of her wearing a white dress and Lu Jinnan wearing a white shirt as her marriage certificate photo.
After the two couples finished taking photos, Lu Jinnan asked Ji Hancheng with some suspicion, "How did you know that white shirts are more suitable for wedding photos? Did you ask beforehand?"
Ji Hancheng looked at him with an idiotic gaze, secretly gloating as he lied, "You don't even know common sense."
Lu Jinnan: "Is this common sense? Oh, I know, you must have thought your first ID photo with your sister-in-law didn't look good, so you did some research, right? Common sense, who are you trying to fool?"
Ji Hancheng: When this guy is looking for a woman, his brain seems to go bewitched, and he works incredibly fast.
After being exposed, Ji Hancheng was not embarrassed at all. He simply ignored him, gave him a cold look, and went to the service desk to handle the marriage matters.
Ji Hancheng appeared calm, but was inwardly nervous as he sat on the chair at the service counter, his hand tightly holding Tang Junyao's hand, his palms sweaty. She felt it and gripped his hand tightly in return.
The staff member stared wide-eyed at the computer system, squinted, leaned closer, rubbed his eyes, then looked up at the handsome man and beautiful woman opposite him and peeked over: "You're here to get a divorce?"
Upon hearing this, Ji Hancheng's face darkened. What did he mean by telling him to come here for a divorce? Saying such unlucky things so early in the morning! His expression darkened further as he suppressed his displeasure. "Do we look like we're here to get a divorce? Is this the divorce section?"
The staff member blankly looked up at the doorway, where the sign above the opposite door read "Divorce Area."
Then there's no mistake, she was sitting in the wedding section.
The staff member felt intimidated by the man's gaze and dared not look him in the eye. Turning her gaze to Tang Junyao, she said softly, "Ms. Tang, married people cannot remarry unless they divorce first. However, a new regulation was introduced last year requiring couples to make an appointment before divorcing and then return home to 'cool off' for a month before proceeding with the divorce. So, you..."
Su Xue and Lu Jinnan had already obtained their marriage certificate. Holding the scorching hot certificate in their hands, their faces beamed with happiness. They said to the staff, "I'll bring you some wedding candy this afternoon to share in the joy."
It's inevitable that there will be some misunderstandings during a first marriage, and I actually forgot about this. After saying that, I turned my attention to Tang Junyao and the others.
Su Xue and the others were so excited that they ignored everyone around them and didn't hear what happened at all.
Tang Junyao looked completely bewildered, frowned, and asked, "What do you mean by that? I don't understand. Can you just say it plainly?"
What do you mean by telling her to get a divorce first, cool off for a month, and then get married? Didn't she already get a divorce?
Ji Hancheng frowned, his cold gaze fixed on the staff member, making her feel uneasy. She trembled slightly, and a cold sweat broke out on her back. "Well, you two are currently married, so you cannot proceed with the marriage registration."
Su Xue: ".............."
Lu Jinnan: "............."
Tang Junyao: ".............."
Ji Hancheng was amused by this shocking news. It was hard to tell whether he was more angry or happy, but his expression softened considerably. He patiently asked the staff again, "You mean we're not divorced? In your system, we're still in a marital relationship."
The staff member, not daring to be careless, glanced at the display screen again and said, "Yes, I can say with absolute certainty. Trust me."
The staff members' eyes were so serious they couldn't be more so; they were practically ready to stand up and swear an oath.
Su Xue couldn't help but laugh, she was utterly astonished, "So you two went through with a pointless divorce two years ago, it never even went through?"
They were all fooled by Grandpa Ji; they thought the divorce was a lie.
Grandpa Ji is so funny! I'm totally impressed.
Lu Jinnan snapped back to reality, pulling himself back to the point of gossip. "So the ex-wife you thought was your wife is actually your wife? You chased after her for so long, finally won her over, and brought her to get the marriage certificate, only to find out you were already husband and wife?"
Oh my god, that shocked him! Brother Cheng, could you be any more ridiculous?
The staff nodded to Su Xue and Lu Jinnan, indicating that they understood correctly, but they were a little confused about what the other party was talking about. This was quite a juicy story. Nevertheless, they patiently inquired, mustering their courage to ignore the man's dark face. "Um, Ms. Tang, I looked at your divorce certificate, and it is indeed fake. The bottom right corner of your divorce certificate shows the time as 7:48. A legitimate divorce certificate does not have the time printed on it, only the date."
The staff's careful explanation only made the two people sitting in front of them even more embarrassed. Su Xue and Lu Jinnan both immediately took the divorce certificate to check it.
748.
"Grandpa Ji is so funny!" Lu Jinnan blurted out. "Brother Cheng, Grandpa is so funny! Look at this number, isn't it cursing you? 748, are you angry? Grandpa is going to make you angry. It turns out Grandpa had already hinted at it to you, but you didn't notice."
Lu Jinnan burst into laughter, "I'm dying of laughter! Grandpa Ji is so funny, hahahaha."
Su Xue had originally planned to laugh freely, but after receiving a murderous glare from Ji Hancheng, she shut up and nudged her warm husband beside her, "Cough cough cough, he's just having a crazy day, he's too happy, Young Master Ji, please don't mind."
Ji Hancheng: How the hell would I know there's no time limit when I got my marriage certificate for the first time? Besides, he's not a professional divorcee, how could he know such common sense?
Staff member: You can use numbers like this? I've learned something new.
Tang Junyao was at a loss for words, unable to utter a single sentence, her feelings were very complicated.
