I looked at him and smiled, "I don't know about others, but you're the best."
Xiao Minxing also laughed, gently pinching my cheek with his finger and said, "You've learned to flatter now, but I like it, hahaha."
I was initially quite anxious about this matter, but after Xiao Minxing said that, I quickly calmed down and didn't dwell on it anymore.
As for the remarriage issue, since it was brought up, he surprisingly waited patiently at home for me to wake up the next day.
When I woke up and saw he hadn't left, I thought it was still early and turned over to lie down a bit longer. However, Good Fellow climbed onto the bed and snuggled under the covers with me, saying, "If you don't get up soon, I'm going to start tickling you."
"Why? I'm not doing anything by getting up. It's so early and cold; it's better to lie in bed than to sit there freezing."
Being spoiled has become my usual tactic now. Xiao Minxing usually can't do anything about me, so the time I had to get up shifted from eight o'clock to nine o'clock, and now it's already ten.
He has mentioned more than once that eating breakfast late isn't good for me, but every time he sees me pitifully snuggling in the blanket, he can't bear to wake me up and can only go to work himself, asking Sister Liu to take good care of me.
However, today he wasn't buying into that. He actually grabbed my shoulder and said, "It's not cold today; the sun is shining brightly. I'm taking you to do something important."
As he spoke, he helped me up from the bed and even helped me put on my clothes. Then he pushed me toward the bathroom while instructing Sister Liu to heat up breakfast.
I mumbled and asked him, "What time is it now?"
Xiao Minxing raised his hand to check his watch and said, "It's almost ten o'clock; just look at you now..."
"Oh... I see, you're just an old lady now, repeating the same thing over and over. Aren't you annoying?"
Xiao Minxing was momentarily taken aback by my words. Although he didn't say anything, he shot me a fierce glare.
By the time the two of us left, it was already ten-thirty. However, the civil affairs bureau should still be open at this hour. It seemed that winter was also a peak season for weddings, as we almost couldn't find a parking spot.
In the end, Xiao Minxing parked quite far away. By the time we leisurely walked over, most people were about to get off work.
I could tell he was anxious, but even at this point, he didn't rush me. He held the documents in one hand and supported me with the other, looking as if he wanted to just carry me.
"There's no rush; after all, we've waited so long. If we can't get it done today, there's always tomorrow," I reassured him.
Sure enough, Xiao Minxing glared at me again and sighed, saying, "I really can't do anything with you now; I can't hit you or scold you."
I chuckled at him. Just before we entered the civil affairs bureau, I inadvertently glanced back and saw someone in black quickly blending into the crowd.
I thought I was seeing things and hurriedly rubbed my eyes to take another look, but that person had already walked far away without looking back. Their tall figure and all-black clothing were too conspicuous.
Xiao Minxing also stopped and looked back at me, asking, "What's wrong? Why are you in a daze?"
I initially wanted to tell him what I saw, but then I thought about how we had discussed this matter several times without any conclusion. Perhaps that person was just an ordinary passerby.
At this point, since Xiao Minxing and I had already arrived here, it was best to focus on getting this matter settled.
The people inside were lined up for a long time, each person wearing a smile. Some were holding hands, while others were hugging each other.
We were different. We were carrying a big belly that was over eight months along. As soon as we stood there, we immediately attracted everyone's attention—some with envy, others with confusion. Thankfully, we weren't living in ancient times; otherwise, in such a situation, I might have been poked in the spine.
Xiao Minxing went to get the forms and started writing furiously, filling out my part as well. When it came time to sign at the end, he handed it over and said, "Hurry up and sign."
"Aren't we going to take a photo?" I remembered that when we got married last time, both partners had to take a picture together.
Without looking up, Xiao Minxing replied, "I brought old photos; otherwise, I’m afraid your current face will push me out of the frame."
I reached out and pinched his arm, but through the thick winter clothing, it probably didn't bother him at all. I felt annoyed; just after praising him for not being picky about me, he was saying this now.
Xiao Minxing chuckled and pulled me onto a nearby chair, saying, "I was just joking. I brought the old photos as a backup. If we have time, we'll take new ones; if not, we'll make do with the old ones. I don't want to wait another day."
After saying this in front of so many people, he gently kissed my forehead and said, "Sit here and wait for me. When it's our turn, I'll call you."
Who would have thought that someone who was once mistreated could have such happy moments? I felt like I had hit the jackpot—after so many years apart, not only could we be together again, but we could also continue to love each other. It seemed unbelievable.
Before work ended in the morning, the staff still processed our paperwork. Although it was past the deadline, they saw us struggling with such a big belly and kindly said, "Come over here and get it done first; you must be close to giving birth."
Xiao Minxing was beaming with joy as he supported me while moving toward that direction and said, "Yes, it's soon—just another month."
They asked us routine questions about whether we were marrying of our own free will and then collected our documents for verification. Finally, they printed two red booklets with big red seals stamped on them.
The book and the documents were returned to the counter. When Xiao Minxing reached out to take them, his hand trembled slightly, and his expression was solemn, as if he had just experienced something unparalleled.
I looked at him and said, "What are you so excited about? It's not your first wedding."
This immediately drew the attention of the remaining people inside, and their gazes were somewhat complex.
A smile appeared on Xiao Minxing's face as he carefully put away the documents and gently guided me outside.
The midday sun hung in the sky, not as intense as in spring or summer, nor as cold as at night, warmly shining on everyone.
As we walked towards the car together, Xiao Minxing asked me, "Do you remember our first wedding?"
I nodded and replied, "Of course I remember. You looked like someone who owed eight hundred dollars."
Hearing this, he laughed again and sighed, "Back then, I really felt like you owed me—an explanation, many wonderful moments, and all these years of companionship."
Those past times weren't beautiful, but thinking back on them now had a unique charm.
I tightened my grip on Xiao Minxing's arm and softly said, "I'll repay you in the future."
"No, in the future, I will repay you. I still owe you a proper wedding filled with love," Xiao Minxing said.
