Chapter 73: Chapter 73 Make a Wish
Chapter 73 -73 Make a Wish
“Weren’t you the one who said that we should set our own time to register our marriage without consulting you?” Xu Jinzhi chuckled, having already anticipated that Xu Zhen would definitely be angry.
Of course, he was not really angry, just displeased.
“You could at least have told me! How could you go register the marriage without even notifying me!” Xu Zhen was still angry.
His treasure!
Now she belonged to someone else’s family!
“And weren’t you on a business trip? How did I not know when you returned?” Xu Zhen continued to interrogate.
Xu Jinzhi said, “I came back yesterday.”
“Why didn’t you come home when you came back yesterday!” Xu Zhen, already angry, now couldn’t control his emotions even more.
“Dad, your daughter is already married.” Xu Jinzhi smilingly informed Xu Zhen of this merciless fact.
Before they issued this marriage certificate, Xu Zhen still had a reason to demand that Xu Jinzhi must not stay out overnight.
Although Xu Zhen had never actually made such a demand.
But now that there was a marriage certificate, even more persuasive than a wedding ceremony, it meant a real marriage.
On the phone, Xu Zhen suddenly fell silent. Xu Jinzhi didn’t hear Xu Zhen speak again, slightly furrowed her brows, and looked at the phone to make sure it hadn’t been hung up.
“Dad.” Xu Jinzhi wondered if she had gone too far and upset Xu Zhen.
Before Xu Jinzhi could continue to speculate, Xu Zhen’s voice softened, and he said somewhat painfully, “My daughter, if Xie Yanchuan ever bullies you, you must tell me.”
“Your dad is not like those bad fathers. I don’t care about face; if you’re treated unfairly, just come back. Dad will protect you.”
Originally, when Xu Jinzhi showed Xu Zhen the marriage certificate, she indeed had mentioned her registration, and at the bottom of her heart, she also wanted to see what angry reaction Xu Zhen would have.
But now, hearing Xu Zhen’s words, Xu Jinzhi instantly felt she had gone too far!
“Dad, don’t worry, no one can bully me,” Xu Jinzhi said earnestly.
But then Xu Jinzhi continued, “Dad, I’m not going to talk to you anymore!”
“No, you…” Xu Zhen hadn’t finished speaking when Xu Jinzhi had already hung up the phone first. Holding the phone for a few seconds, Xu Jinzhi laughed again.
On the other side, Xu Zhen, staring at the disconnected phone, was incredibly frustrated—his tactic hadn’t worked!
“Did uncle seem angry?” Xie Yanchuan asked.
Xu Jinzhi looked at him, not saying if Xu Zhen was angry, but asked another question instead, “You should start calling him ‘dad’ now.”
Xie Yanchuan was taken aback, then nodded after a moment, his expression calm but his heart anything but.
They soon arrived at the mall. As it was still early, Xu Jinzhi and Xie Yanchuan planned to stroll around.
Xu Jinzhi rarely visited stores, so an occasional walk didn’t bore her.
Moreover, with Xie Yanchuan accompanying her this time, Xu Jinzhi entered several men’s clothing stores one after another, wanting to pick something for Xie Yanchuan.
Xie Yanchuan, who usually either attended classes or was in the laboratory, dressed more formally; his suits were mostly similar, but Xu Jinzhi quickly picked out some that suited Xie Yanchuan.
“Want to try them on?” Xu Jinzhi tilted her head to look at Xie Yanchuan.
Xie Yanchuan hesitated, but under Xu Jinzhi’s gaze, he nodded, “Okay.”
When they left after buying the clothes, Xie Yanchuan distinctly felt the shop attendants watching him strangely, not understanding what had happened.
Xu Jinzhi, on the other hand, was smiling cryptically.
Clearly, she knew why those clerks were looking at her that way.

Xie Yanchuan then asked somewhat confusedly, “Did something happen?”
Xu Jinzhi looked at Xie Yanchuan, thinking it was better not to tell him, and said, “You’re good-looking, can’t they take a second look?”
With Xu Jinzhi putting it that way, Xie Yanchuan instantly dropped the subject.
Thus, that topic was skipped.
Seeing that it was about time, the two left the mall and headed to a nearby restaurant.
The restaurant was a French-style couple’s restaurant, which, in the words of contemporary young people, was full of atmosphere and particularly suitable for taking photos.
However, Xu Jinzhi was not interested in taking photos, so under the guidance of the waiter, they went to her reserved spot.
Because Xu Jinzhi had specifically instructed, not only their table but also the surrounding tables were devoid of flowers.
The two began to order their food; after the waiter left, they were left alone. Xu Jinzhi leaned her elbow on the table, smiling radiantly across at Xie Yanchuan.
Xie Yanchuan blinked slightly, still somewhat unused to this, but tried hard to maintain his composure.
“Xie Yanchuan, are you happy today?” Xu Jinzhi asked.
Xie Yanchuan nodded.
He was sure he was happy; he and Xu Jinzhi were married.
“I’m also very happy, so I keep looking at you and smiling. Don’t find it odd,” Xu Jinzhi preemptively gave Xie Yanchuan a heads-up.
“Mm,” Xie Yanchuan nodded again.
However, Xie Yanchuan was not good at making conversation, and at the moment, didn’t know what else he should talk about with Xu Jinzhi.
Luckily, Xu Jinzhi didn’t find him boring just because he wasn’t talking.
It wasn’t until the waiter came over to serve the food that they began their meal.
After a proper dinner, the waiter came over with a cake.
Xie Yanchuan had celebrated birthdays before, but he never felt that this day was worth celebrating; it was just like any other day for him.
Even because he had expectations for this day, when nothing happened, it made him even more disappointed.
But at this moment, Xie Yanchuan felt as though he had returned to his childhood, when he did look forward to this day because it was special.
Xu Jinzhi didn’t let anyone bother them, and after the waiter brought over the cake, she asked him to leave.
“Xie Yanchuan, make a wish quick!” Xu Jinzhi had already stood up, ready to sing the birthday song enthusiastically.
Xie Yanchuan hadn’t done this for many years and felt somewhat uncomfortable, but seeing Xu Jinzhi, words of refusal failed to come out.
Thus Xie Yanchuan also stood up, the restaurant very cooperatively dimmed the lights greatly.
Xie Yanchuan noticed, glanced sideways, then turned back, closed his eyes, and made a solemn wish.
Xu Jinzhi’s birthday song echoed in his ears, Xie Yanchuan thought, “We must always stay together.”
