CH 122.1

At the end of the second year of college and the beginning of the summer vacation of the third year, Chen Yu finally turned 20.

The legal age for marriage that Chen Yu anxiously waited for was considered satisfied, so she dragged Lou ming to get their certificate that day.

Upon hearing the news, the Chen family grew frantic that day and hurried home.

“Why didn’t you tell the family about getting your certificate?” Mayor Chen was anxious.

“I told you before, didn’t I?” Seeing that Mayor Chen was anxious, Chen Yu felt a little puzzled.

“When?” Mayor Chen asked and turned to look at his wife and eldest son. Could it be that he was in a hurry to go out this morning and missed hearing it.

Mother Chen and Brother Chen also shook their heads blankly.

“More than a year ago, ah,” Chen Yu expounded, “When Third Brother first came to our house, didn’t I say it? We’ll get married when I reach the age.”

“You…” Mayor Chen clutched his chest, feeling that his heart was bleeding. I haven’t pampered my beloved daughter enough, but she just rolled into someone else’s hand so spontaneously and on her own initiative???

Yes, you did say you wanted to marry Lou Ming, and throughout this year, you mentioned every now and then that you’ll do so when you reach the age. But, you could have at least let us know, ah.

Also, that Lou Ming, what did he say at the beginning? Didn’t he say that he would definitely ask for our consent before you get married? As a result, you received your certificate without a word.

Yes, although I showed him some appreciation over the past year, he couldn’t do this either.

The more Mayor Chen thought about it, the more angry he was. He took out his phone and called Lou Ming, questioning him, “You didn’t tell me about such a big deal. Do you think it’s appropriate?”

Lou Ming, who was reporting his married status to his parents, calmly answered the phone in the joyful and festive atmosphere of the Lou family, “I called you, but you seemed to be in a meeting at the time.”

“…” Mayor Chen was rendered speechless, still feeling upset deep inside. “Then couldn’t you have waited until you got through to the phone before getting your certificate?”

“Dad…” Lou Ming began to address him.

Dad, Mayor Chen’s heart hurt. You’re even quick to change the way you address me. I’m not happy about it either.

“Shishi is very happy, and I am also very happy.” Lou Ming glanced at his parents. They seemed happier.

But I’m not happy!!! Mayor Chen was tempted to yell so.

“I will love her more than you do,” Lou Ming assured him. 

Bullshit! Where in the world would there be a man who loves her daughter more than him, her father?

Mayor Chen ended the call in dejection. He glanced at his wife and son, and sighed helplessly. Of course, he knew that this call was for venting. Besides, nothing could be changed no matter what he said. It was impossible. He knew Lou Ming’s personality all too well. Although he sounded fully satisfied just now, nine out of ten, his daughter must have dragged him to get married.

Mayor Chen guessed right. Chen Yu was indeed the first to mention obtaining their certificate.

Lou Ming did not think of going to the Chen residence to propose marriage in advance. Based on their attitude, it was too obvious that they didn’t want to let Chen Yu go. He was afraid that if he went to the Chen residence early to propose marriage, he would be scolded for being a beast.

“My daughter/sister has not yet reached the age for marriage, but you came to propose marriage?”

Lou Ming thought to himself. If he had such a daughter, he would be reluctant to let her get married. Hence, he held on to his patience and planned to wait until Chen Yu had finished her 20th birthday before finding time to go to the Chen residence to propose marriage. What he didn’t expect, however, was that he had just started to prepare for it, when Chen Yu took her account book directly to the door and dragged him to the Civil Affairs Bureau.

As for why Chen Yu took him to the Civil Affairs Bureau so easily, this… No need to say it, right?

However, Lou Ming still remembers what he promised. Before leaving, he said he would notify the Chen family. Unfortunately, Mayor Chen and Brother Chen both went to work. Mother Chen also went to do something early in the morning, so there was no one at home.

The second best thing he could do was to start calling them one by one. As a result, Mayor Chen was in a meeting; Brother Chen was out on a mission; and Mayor Chen muted her phone so she heard nothing.

So coincidentally?

However, marriage is such a huge affair no matter how you look at it, and it was quite wrong to do so. So after queuing up at the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a number, Lou Ming, who still did not get through the phone, even asked He Qi to find someone to notify the Chen family.

Unfortunately, until it was their number’s turn, the Chen family did not call him to stop it. Thus, Lou Ming and Chen Yu received their certificate with peace of mind.

He did everything he could. Seriously, how providential was it that three consecutive attempts ended up in vain?

Unbeknownst to Lou Ming, He Qi, who accompanied him as a bodyguard, posted a supplementary message in the assistant chat group after they received their certificate.

He Qi: (Mission accomplished, get ready for action.)

After he sent this message out, the three assistants went to ‘great lengths’ to find the Chen family and informed them of what had happened.

Regardless of the process, Mayor Chen’s daughter was married. Fortunately, his daughter still lived in the compound and was just nearby, which was a bit of comfort. Mayor Chen thought helplessly, and then sighed all night.

Chen Yang was also angry, but he did not dare to call Lou Ming out righteously. He could only run fifty laps in the playground feeling depressed.
