As the onlookers erupted in chaos because of Shen Qing's appearance, she turned her head and glanced at Zhang Yan before saying succinctly, "Get in the car!"
Zhang Yan was stunned but obediently got into the car.
Seeing that Zhang Yan had such good luck, getting into this beautiful woman's luxury car, the people around them instantly became envious, wishing they could take his place.
Such a beautiful woman, does she already have a boyfriend? Was that the one from earlier!?
Sigh, how did I just start a relationship and already lose it...
After Zhang Yan got in the car and was about to speak, he noticed that Shen Qing, although looking straight ahead and not at him, had red eyes, clearly upset.
Before he could say anything, he quickly asked what was wrong, why she was crying for no reason.
Shen Qing glanced at him and choked out, "You bastard, after three years, now you finally want to get back together with me."
"Do you know, I've been waiting for you for three years!?"
Zhang Yan was stunned.
He never expected Shen Qing to be so deeply affectionate, just like her name suggested.
At that moment, Zhang Yan felt a deep sense of guilt.
Why did he break up with Shen Qing and end up with Li Chuchu?
If only he had been more confident back then, even though he knew his social status was so much lower than hers, he should've tried to fight for her. Maybe now they would even have children together?
He was really young and didn't know Shen Qing's worth, mistaking Chuchu for a treasure.
Seeing that Zhang Yan remained silent, Shen Qing didn't continue to press him, instead, she kept driving and asked, "Did you bring your household registration and ID?"
Zhang Yan: ??
Zhang Yan was full of questions, but still replied, "I did bring them, but why are you asking this?"
Since they were going to the bank to process some paperwork, Zhang Yan had brought all his documents with him.
Shen Qing, after hearing his response, looked determined and stepped on the accelerator. "Of course we're going to get the marriage certificate!"
"This time, you said you wanted to get back together with me, so you can't back out. To make sure you won't change your mind, you're coming with me to get the certificate!"
"Huh?!" Zhang Yan was completely stunned.
Wait, his ex-girlfriend, whom he hadn't seen for three years, was asking him to get a marriage certificate just after meeting?
This was happening too fast!
......
Half an hour later.
At the civil affairs bureau.
Zhang Yan looked at the little red book in his hand, feeling as if he was dreaming.
Shen Qing, beside him, also looked at her own red book, no longer showing the same resentful expression from earlier.
At that moment, her face was filled with uncontrollable joy, and as soon as they exited, she hooked her arm around Zhang Yan's.
"Zhang Yan, I can't believe it, we really got the certificate…"
"Yeah, I never thought this would happen either, it feels like a dream…" Zhang Yan smiled, looking down at Shen Qing.
Shen Qing was very tall, just half a head shorter than Zhang Yan.
Back when they were in love, Shen Qing would always hook her arm through his after class, making all who saw them envious.
At that time, they were the golden couple in everyone's eyes.
Now, three years later, Shen Qing was still linking her arm through Zhang Yan's, but this feeling was strange—familiar yet distant.
However, Zhang Yan was feeling more sweetness than anything else.
This feeling couldn't possibly be brought about by Li Chuchu, who was always making a scene.
Still, Zhang Yan felt a bit guilty inside.
Because when they went to get the certificate earlier, Zhang Yan had asked Shen Qing if it wasn't a bit sudden to just get married like this.
But Shen Qing had firmly responded, saying it wasn't sudden, because she had been waiting for this day for three years.
Since their inexplicable breakup, Shen Qing had been waiting for Zhang Yan to come back to her.
Now, after three years, Zhang Yan had finally called her, a call she had been waiting for all that time.
So, what was there to hesitate about?
In contrast, Zhang Yan had been with Li Chuchu over the past three years.
Compared to Shen Qing's loyalty, Zhang Yan really felt like he had wronged her.
Hesitating, Zhang Yan asked again, "Shen Qing, you… you really don't regret it? You know why I called you, right?"
"Don't you think that I only called you to get back at my ex-girlfriend?"
Shen Qing glanced at Zhang Yan, shook her head firmly, and said, "I won't regret it."
"I don't care if you did it out of a moment of frustration or if you truly regret it and want to be together again, it doesn't change the fact that I still love you. I've been waiting for you for three years, and now you're finally here."
"When I came, I made sure to bring my household registration and ID, so I'm definitely not going to regret it."
She paused for a moment, then, just like before, gave a playful smile, shaking her little red book and said, "No matter what, we're married now, we're a legal couple."
"Even if you were just acting out of spite, there's no way out now. From now on, you're my man."
"And I… I'm your wife."
At this, Shen Qing shyly lowered her head, her face turning slightly red.
