Chapter 131: “Morality or your truest desires…which do you think matters more?”Ten minutes later, Li Mo and Su Qingyan walked out of the registration office holding their marriage certificate.
“We’re married…”
Staring at the official seal on the certificate…
Su Qingyan still felt like it wasn’t real. Everything around her felt like a dream.
Had she really married Li Mo?
“Yes, we’re married.”
“Legally, you’re my wife now.”
Su Qingyan turned and hugged Li Mo tightly.
“I finally married you.”
She couldn’t hold back her tears.
Her heart was overwhelmed. The marriage certificate felt like a beautiful dream…too surreal to believe.
“Alright, don’t cry, Yanyan.”
“We’ve got a long life ahead. We’re still outside. Tonight, you can cry all you want in my arms.”
Su Qingyan’s shyness quickly took over. She couldn’t cry anymore.
Li Mo’s words were just too embarrassing.
What was he saying…
Now that they were married, being with him wouldn’t be as simple as before.
“Let’s talk about that tonight…”
“Take me out. I’m your wife now. You have to spoil me even more.”
Li Mo kissed her on the forehead.
“Okay. I’ll take my little grade-schooler out.”
“Wherever you want to go, your husband will take you.”
Su Qingyan clung tightly to Li Mo’s hand. She felt both excited and nervous about the night ahead.
After all, she was truly a “mother womb solo”…just like Su Xiaoxiao. Their mother had been extremely strict about such things.
She was nothing like those carefree girls out in the world.
“Don’t call me a grade-schooler…”
“Call me… call me…”
Su Qingyan was too shy to finish her sentence.
“Alright, your husband will take you out.”
Su Qingyan followed beside Li Mo. After a moment, she asked nervously, “Are we seeing your parents tonight?”
“No, probably not. Grandma and Grandpa will likely host a gathering tomorrow.”
“We’ll go then. We have to tell everyone anyway.”
Li Mo’s father’s side had fewer relatives, so visits were usually spread out.
His only aunt was spending New Year’s in South City this year.
As for his grandparents, they were usually visited on the third day of the New Year.
Tomorrow would be the perfect time to let all his relatives know he had married Su Qingyan.
“Mm…”
Knowing she didn’t have to meet Li Mo’s parents tonight, Su Qingyan felt relieved.
But thinking about tomorrow’s big scene made her nervous again…
…
Evening.
At seven o’clock, halfway through making dumplings, Su Xiaoxiao got sleepy and went to bed.
Outside, fireworks lit up the sky, celebrating the traditional Spring Festival.
But inside the room, Liu Pingping felt lonely…far too lonely.
She had never felt this way back in Deep City…
While she was lost in thought, an unexpected call came in.
It was from a woman at her company…someone she had always competed with.
They never got along, yet she was calling today.
“Pingping, are you home?”
“Yes.”
“I’m coming over.”
“Alright.”
Liu Pingping didn’t refuse. Even if they didn’t get along, they were colleagues. It was important to maintain appearances.
Soon, Wang Xiaoting arrived at Liu Pingping’s home. She found the place less cold and empty than she expected.
It actually felt quite cozy.
“Pingping, can I borrow a hundred thousand yuan?”
“Isn’t your husband rich?”
Liu Pingping knew Wang Xiaoting had money.
“I know, but the money he gives me is limited. I need a hundred thousand urgently.”
Looking at Wang Xiaoting…whose looks and figure were very different from her own…Liu Pingping asked, “Did something happen?”
“No…”
“I’ve been seeing a younger guy lately. He’s one of my husband’s apprentices.”
She didn’t hide anything.
She was completely open about it.
She didn’t feel ashamed or guilty.
“He’s a good guy. His family ran into trouble. I want to help him with a hundred thousand. I’ll pay you back next month.”
“W-What…”
“How could you do something so immoral?”
Liu Pingping felt her moral compass had been shaken.
Her thoughts were spinning wildly.
She didn’t know how to respond to Wang Xiaoting.
How could she do this…
But Wang Xiaoting didn’t seem to care.
“Morality or your truest desires…which do you think matters more?”
