“Alright, I’ll stop teasing you now, you should go back and rest too. I’ll message you when I arrive,” Xu Jinzhi said.
“Yeah,” Xie Yanchuan nodded in agreement, but still didn’t seem in a rush to leave.
“I’m going now.”
“Yeah,” Xie Yanchuan nodded again.
Xu Jinzhi knew what Xie Yanchuan meant and didn’t dawdle any longer; she drove off, after all, they were already at the entrance of the residential complex, and Xie Yanchuan was a grown man—she didn’t have much to worry about.
After driving a distance, Xu Jinzhi looked in the rearview mirror and saw Xie Yanchuan still standing there; a smile involuntarily brightened on her face.
It was progress after all.
Last time, she was the one watching him go.
Xie Yanchuan remained in place until he could no longer see Xu Jinzhi’s car, and then he turned and walked into the residential complex.
By this time, there were no more people playing around in the complex, and the occasional passerby or two were all strangers, with no one disturbing the other.
Xie Yanchuan walked slowly, with thoughts of Xu Jinzhi involuntarily surfacing in his mind.
On the other side, Xu Jinzhi was in a very good mood as she got home, even humming a tune from some pop song she didn’t know the name of, cheerfully walking toward the villa.
It was just that, upon entering the villa, Xu Jinzhi saw Xu Zhen sitting in the living room.
Pretending not to notice the stern look on Xu Zhen’s face, Xu Jinzhi asked with a smile, “Why haven’t you gone to bed yet?”
Xu Zhen inspected Xu Jinzhi from head to toe before snorting coldly, “Humpf, you still know to come back?”
“Where else would I go if not home?” Xu Jinzhi laughed.
Xu Zhen glared at Xu Jinzhi and said through gritted teeth, “You haven’t dated anyone for so many years, I thought you had a clear head! Turned out the others just weren’t to your taste, huh?”
“You think we’re picking dishes at a restaurant? ‘Not to my taste,'” Xu Jinzhi couldn’t help but laugh at her father’s description.
“If Xie Yanchuan keeps being honest, that’s fine, but if he had the intention to hurt you, with the way you are now toward him, would you end up okay?” Xu Zhen asked.
Xu Jinzhi, feeling helpless, sat down next to Xu Zhen and took his hand, “Why do you have to be so stubborn? You want me to get married on one hand, and on the other, you worry about me getting married.”
Xu Zhen didn’t know what to say for a while. He knew he might have exaggerated a bit, but this was his only daughter, the child he had raised since she was small—how could he not worry?
And the most important point, Xu Zhen looking at Xu Jinzhi said, “Your mother fought hard to give birth to you, if I can’t take care of you properly, how will I explain it to her when I pass on?”
“You’ve already given me everything you could, and that’s more than enough.” Xu Jinzhi, abandoning the playful tone, earnestly said to Xu Zhen, “Thank you for loving me so much.”
For a moment, Xu Zhen felt a sudden urge to tear up. Some annoying people always asked him if he was really content with just one daughter, Xu Jinzhi, in this lifetime.
What was there to be discontent about?
Those people just didn’t know how wonderful his Jinzhi was!
He adored Jinzhi so much that he felt even giving her everything was not enough!
He’d been somewhat excited these past few days, and it wasn’t entirely because Jinzhi liked Xie Yanchuan so much. Of course, that was a part of it, but it was more because Jinzhi was about to get married—she would soon be leaving him.
That’s why he was always picking faults, dissatisfied with everything about the man with the surname Xie and Jinzhi!
A moment later, Xu Jinzhi suddenly asked, “Didn’t you say you hired a master to choose a date? Is it determined?”
Xu Zhen’s facial expression stiffened, and the brief moment of warmth between father and daughter instantly turned to ashes.
~
The next day, Xu Zhen reluctantly found that master, who already had chosen the dates. The master handed Xu Zhen a piece of red paper with three dates suitable for Xu Jinzhi and Xie Yanchuan’s wedding within the coming year.
Once he had the dates, Xu Zhen returned to the company and prepared to visit Jinzhi’s office.
When Xu Zhen arrived outside Jinzhi’s office, he noticed the Venetian blinds weren’t drawn, and he could see the scene inside from the outside.
Looking at Jinzhi in the office, deeply engaged in conversation with Assistant Wen, Xu Zhen didn’t know what they were discussing, but he nodded in great satisfaction. True to his daughter, she was just like him when focusing on work!
Meanwhile, inside the office, Jinzhi was asking Assistant Wen, “Did you have someone follow you to take photos even when registering your marriage?”
“Yes, it’s for keeping memories,” Assistant Wen said expressionlessly, not seeming like someone who would go to the extent of having their civil registration photographed.

Jinzhi wondered if she too should have someone photograph her and Xie Yanchuan when they registered their marriage.
Seeing Mr. Xu not speaking, Assistant Wen added, “When it comes time for the wedding, you can also have the ID photos taken outside and bring them with you.”
“Why? Can’t the photos be taken at the civil affairs bureau?” Jinzhi clearly remembered that it was possible to have the photos taken there.
In her previous life, she and Xie Yanchuan had their photos taken at the civil affairs bureau, and they were so unflattering that the staff had even tried to cheer them up.
Assistant Wen explained, “After all, marriage certificates are for a lifetime, and the civil affairs bureau isn’t exactly professional with photography, plus we ourselves might not look good in terms of expression or posture, and they can’t keep taking photos until we’re satisfied.”
“So, it’s better to have it done in a studio outside, where they can keep shooting until we’re happy with the results. Since it’s for a lifetime, we do want a nice photo on it.”
Jinzhi suddenly understood and felt quite impressed with Assistant Wen.
Despite seeming even colder and more ruthless than herself, she had considered so many things, which clearly showed she took her own marriage seriously.
Jinzhi made a mental note to also have her photos done in advance at a studio, arrange for a follow-up shoot, and what else was there…
Before Jinzhi could ask Assistant Wen for more details, Wen reminded her, “Mr. Xu, the Chairman is outside; he seems to be looking for you.”
Only then did Jinzhi look up and indeed saw her father standing outside the office. Thinking about her recent discussion with Assistant Wen, Jinzhi inexplicably felt a bit guilty.
“Go ahead and step out,” said Jinzhi.
“Alright.” Assistant Wen turned and walked toward the office door, greeted the Chairman outside, then left.
As soon as Assistant Wen left, Xu Zhen entered the office. Upon seeing Jinzhi, he inquired with formality, “I hope I’m not disturbing you?”
“No, we’ve finished our talk,” Jinzhi replied calmly, as if nothing had happened, “Did you come to see me for a particular reason?”
