Han Jingnian remained unresponsive, with a stunned expression, as if lost in thought.
Zhang Te, his assistant, thought he hadn't understood and began to explain further: "This day is like your wife's birthday, Valentine's Day, Chinese Valentine's Day, Christmas Day, 520 (a day for expressing love in China like Valentine's Day), so you should stay with your wife..."
Before Zhang Te could finish speaking, Han Jingnian's eyelids flickered, he suddenly cut in, "Was it you who helped her get our marriage certificate?"
So... Han Jingnian's silence wasn't because he had misunderstood, it was due to this concern?
A chill ran through Zhang Te at the question. "No, it was not me accompanying your wife. You asked me to go with her. You said you were busy with work and couldn't make it. That it was a minor matter I could handle. I tried to persuade you, saying that this marriage registration happens only once in a lifetime and you should have accompanied her, but you didn't listen…"
