Gu Nianzhi closed her eyes and pinched herself hard to clear her mind from Huo Shaoheng's bombardment.
She took a deep breath and gathered her courage to say to Huo Shaoheng, "… But I don't love you anymore. How can we get married without love? "
She knew that everyone had their own reasons for getting married, and for her, the reason was simple. She only wanted to marry the person she loved.
"It's not contradictory. We can get married first, then date. "Huo Shaoheng's voice was low and gentle, very comforting.
"But what if we still can't love each other in the end?" Gu Nianzhi was confused. "Even if we can get a divorce after three years, wouldn't I go from a good unmarried girl to a divorced young woman? Huo Shaoheng, I'll only be 22 years old after three years. Do you think that's fair to me? "
Although Gu Nianzhi was young and had lived with Huo Shaoheng in the Special Operations Forces base for a long time, she didn't have much contact with society. She had learned online technology from Zhao Liangze when she was young and had been on major forums, Weibo, and other social media for a long time. She roughly knew that society was harsher on women.
Even if Huo Shaoheng got a divorce after three years, he would still be a quality man and might even be more popular …
But what about her? Her value would only plummet.
Huo Shaoheng smiled slightly and guided Gu Nianzhi patiently. His voice became even deeper and more magnetic. The demon in his heart grew wings and wanted to take her under its wings.
"Don't worry. Our marriage status is confidential. The Special Operations Forces has a special department to handle special marriage registration. Our marriage information will be recorded in a confidential file and will not be recorded outside. Until you are willing, no one else will know. If we dissolve our marriage in the future, I promise this marriage will not be recorded in your personal information. As long as you want, you can still write 'unmarried' on any form. Think about it carefully. As long as you agree, we can break up. "
From now on, she was no longer his girlfriend, and he was no longer her boyfriend.
From now on, she was only his wife, and he was only her husband.
How great was that?
Gu Nianzhi heard something different. She raised her eyebrows and looked at Huo Shaoheng. "You want to … hide the marriage?"
"No, I don't. If you want, we can have a public wedding today. I can invite all the guests right away. Our wedding will be grander than today's Prime Minister's inauguration. " Huo Shaoheng bowed forward and whispered into Gu Nianzhi's ear, "Did you know that I planned our wedding when I was in the United States?"
No matter what happened, nothing could stop him from marrying her.
Even if this accident was her.
Gu Nianzhi was shocked. She stared at Huo Shaoheng in a daze. She was so conflicted that she couldn't speak.
Should she believe him?
Is she willing to go public?
Gu Nianzhi knew her answer very well. She didn't want to make it public.
She had no intention of getting married at all, so why would she suddenly make it public?
Huo Shaoheng seemed to know exactly what she was thinking and asked sharply, "Nianzhi, are you willing to go public? I told you, the decision is yours. I just want a fair chance to woo you. "
For this opportunity, he was willing to bet everything he had.
Now it was Gu Nianzhi's turn to hesitate.
Would she be willing to get married?
Of course, she didn't want to, but she was stumped by Huo Shaoheng's words. If she insisted on going back on her word, what would Huo Shaoheng do?
Gu Nianzhi realized that she actually didn't understand Huo Shaoheng.
She had thought that he was stubborn and proud. He would never drag things out, and he would never beg a woman without principles.
However, what he was doing now had completely subverted her understanding of him.
In order to be with her, he had even put the decision of divorce in her hands …
Gu Nianzhi's heart was in a mess.
All the things Huo Shaoheng had done for her replayed in her mind.
His neglect of her and the hurt feelings he had caused her replayed in her mind.
Two different feelings were fighting in her mind. A moment of kindness won out, telling her not to hesitate and to agree to his request.
A moment of disgust won out, and she clamored for her to flip the table and leave. I don't want to play anymore!
Gu Nianzhi, who couldn't make up her mind, fell into a long silence.
Huo Shaoheng looked at her and slowly reached out his right hand to hold her hand. In his hand was the pen he had just stuffed into her hand.
This was a Cartier platinum pen he had specially made for her. It was for their big day.
The slender and delicate body of the pen was as smooth and soft as silk in his hand. There was a small heart at the top of the pen cap, which was carved from a whole 3-carat flawless diamond. In the middle of the diamond heart, four words were engraved with Hairpin-style Small Regular Script, "My Heart's Thoughts". It was so small that one needed a magnifying glass to see it clearly.
The entire design was simple and smooth. The delicate and moving parts were hidden in a low-key luxury.
The door to the conference room opened silently. Zhou Qiyuan and Chen Lie, the leaders of the disciplinary team of the Special Operations Forces, walked in with a smile and quietly closed the door.
"Come on, sign it." Huo Shaoheng whispered in Gu Nianzhi's ear.
Gu Nianzhi pursed her lips. Her face darkened, and she stubbornly refused to bow her head.
Huo Shaoheng reached out with his left arm and steadily wrapped it around her waist. His right hand held her hand, and his arm pressed gently. He bent down with her at the long conference table.
Gu Nianzhi really wanted to resist. Her fingers were stiff, and she refused to write properly.
However, Huo Shaoheng held her hand gently, patiently, and persistently. At the same time, he held her hand with an irresistible force. Like an adult teaching a child to write, he wrote her name stroke by stroke on the marriage registration form.
Gu Nianzhi.
She wrote it next to the already signed "Huo Shaoheng."
They were like a perfect couple.
Clap clap clap clap!
There was a sudden burst of applause in the conference room.
Gu Nianzhi looked up as if she had just woken up from a dream. She saw that there were two more people in the conference room.
Zhou Qiyuan and Chen Lie stood in front of them and clapped with smiles.
Both of them were wearing well-ironed military uniforms. They had shaved and were clean and tidy. It was obvious that they had dressed up for the big day.
Huo Shaoheng let go of Gu Nianzhi's hand and sighed in relief. His entire aura was different.
He handed the signed marriage registration form to Zhou Qiyuan. "Qiyuan, this is within your jurisdiction. Take it and file it."
Zhou Qiyuan carefully checked all the forms and confirmed that all the information was verified correctly. All the required proof and materials were in the document bag. He then nodded and took out the Organization Department's seal. He solemnly stamped the marriage registration form with a red stamp on the department in charge.
Chen Lie also came over and said with a smile, "I wish the two of you a lifetime of love and happiness."
Then he signed his name in the marriage witness column.
After Zhou Qiyuan stamped the document, he immediately took the document bag to the confidential file room to file.
For this document and to get through all the procedures, Huo Shaoheng had been working nonstop since last night.
Because it was the weekend, everyone involved was on vacation. Zhou Qiyuan got up in the middle of the night and went everywhere to wake people up from their beds. He didn't give any reason and used the excuse of "the Chief's orders" and his authority as the leader of the Disciplinary Committee as a deterrent. He used both carrot and stick to get the necessary seals and file cabinet keys.
Because Huo Shaoheng had instructed that this marriage must be kept secret, even though its true legal authority was much greater than a typical military marriage, Huo Shaoheng was willing to temporarily give in to Gu Nianzhi.
Other than Huo Shaoheng and Gu Nianzhi, the only two people who knew about this marriage were Chen Lie and Zhou Qiyuan. In the future, there would be General Ji.
After the marriage procedures were completed, Huo Shaoheng would take the initiative to report to General Ji. At the same time, according to the confidentiality regulations, he would ask General Ji to keep it a secret.
Gu Nianzhi watched as Zhou Qiyuan took the documents away. Only the two marriage certificates and the divorce application were left on the conference table.
Chen Lie smiled at Gu Nianzhi. "Today is your 19th birthday. Nianzhi, you're the one at a disadvantage if your wedding anniversary and birthday are together …"
He looked at Huo Shaoheng meaningfully, but Huo Shaoheng pretended not to see it. He picked up the two marriage certificates from the conference table and looked at them.
Not long after, Zhou Qiyuan returned. He didn't have the document bag in his hand, but he had an SLR camera around his neck.
"Come, I'll take a wedding photo for you and put it on the marriage certificate. Then I'll stamp it with a steel seal, and it'll be considered a ceremony."
Zhou Qiyuan, who had always been serious, actually cracked a joke.
Chen Lie looked at him in surprise. "Zhou Qiyuan, so you don't have facial paralysis?!"
Zhou Qiyuan was speechless.
He put away his smile and ignored Chen Lie. He strode in front of Huo Shaoheng and Gu Nianzhi and calmly raised the SLR camera.
Huo Shaoheng put one hand on Gu Nianzhi's shoulder and led her to an empty wall in the conference room.
The display screen of a projector hung on the empty wall. It was smooth and white, exactly the same as the background wall of the photo room in the Civil Affairs Bureau's marriage registration office.
Chen Lie's gaze was attracted by Gu Nianzhi and Huo Shaoheng.
Gu Nianzhi was wearing a red cashmere dress and looked delicate and charming. Huo Shaoheng was wearing a major general's uniform. He was tall and handsome, and he even had a military cap on.
They looked like a perfect couple standing together. It was pleasing to the eye.
Chen Lie smiled and said, "Huh? Nianzhi, why are you wearing a bright red dress? It really looks like a wedding dress! "
Gu Nianzhi was speechless.
Damn it!
If she said it was a coincidence, would Chen Lie laugh at her?!
Gu Nianzhi's long brows furrowed and she glared at Chen Lie unhappily.
Zhou Qiyuan saw it from the camera and coughed. "… The expression in the wedding photo should be more relaxed."
Gu Nianzhi's face quickly stiffened.
Huo Shaoheng looked at the camera with a smile, but one hand quietly crept up Gu Nianzhi's waist and gently pressed on the most itchy part of her body.
Gu Nianzhi was caught off guard for a moment, and the itch made her smile subconsciously.
Zhou Qiyuan quickly pressed the shutter and quickly captured this moving expression of a smile that was as natural as the blooming epiphyllum under the moon.
