Seeing that Xiong Chen was silent, Tian Qiuyu simply said: "During this period, my old man has urged me several times and asked me when I would get the certificate from you."
"The two of us have been together for so many years and our careers have been developing well. He also wants to have a grandchild soon."
"I thought, we have indeed delayed it for so many years. It just so happened that I came down for business this time, so I got the certificate by the way. I can give my old man an explanation when I go back."
"As for what to hold the wedding? Where to hold the wedding? Let the two old men discuss it themselves."
"And I'm a little anxious when I come to Tianzhou this time. I haven't prepared any gifts. I can't go to your house empty-handed later, right?"
"Actually, your father has asked me privately several times when he plans to get the certificate from you. This can be regarded as a gift I prepared."
"Let's go, didn't I ask you to take your ID with you?"
As she spoke, she opened the car door.
Xiong Chen frowned. When Tian Qiuyu asked him to bring his ID yesterday, although he felt strange, he didn't ask any more questions.
Unexpectedly, Tian Qiuyu dragged her directly to the marriage registration office without saying hello!
Xiong Chen decided not to hesitate anymore and took a deep breath: "Sister Qiu Yu, wait..."
Tian Qiuyu closed the car door again, "What's wrong? Do you have premarital phobia?"
"Don't worry, we won't have a wedding in the short term. We just want to give an explanation to the elders on both sides and give me a status."
"You really don't think there's anyone chasing me in the provincial capital, do you?"
"With a marriage certificate, I will have something to silence those boring people when I meet them in the future!"
"Actually, if you count, you should still have about a year before getting married to have fun as much as you want."
"But after getting married, I need you to return to the family."
"My idea is that if you go to the provincial capital for development, the conditions there will be better."
"But if you insist on staying in Tianzhou, I will respect your choice. I will apply for transfer and come to Tianzhou to accompany you."
"After all, we are husband and wife, and I will definitely put you first, even though you have always been a little brother in my eyes."
Tian Qiuyu gave a rare smile, "How about it? Have I explained it clearly? You shouldn't be more confused than a woman like me, right?"
Xiong Chen held a cigarette in his mouth in a muffled voice, took a puff, and then laughed at himself: "I'm not entangled, I just don't like this kind of living situation."
"Ever since I was little, no matter what happened, my family would help me arrange everything properly."
"Where to go to school, what to study, what career to pursue, how to develop my future work, and what steps to take? They all planned it carefully for me!"
"Even my family has planned for me what kind of wife I will marry in twenty years."
"Others look envious, but to put it mildly, I don't think there is anything to envy."
"I can't be youthful or show off myself. Ever since I was a kid, I didn't even dare to have contact with other girls."
"So, I only have male friends around me, and no female friends."
"Moreover, even who I become friends with, and how good they are, must be approved by you!"
"Sister Qiu Yu, I really don't like this kind of life."
"Do you know that none of my friends are afraid of you?"
Tian Qiuyu was not surprised, "After all these years, are you finally willing to tell me the truth?"
"Tell me, what else do you want to say? Say it together and I will listen."
Xiong Chen fell into memories, "The stupid thing I did back then almost caused uproar in the city. If my family hadn't sent me away, I probably would have had to go in. Do you know why I got into such a big trouble?"
Tian Qiuyu said calmly, "I didn't know at the time, I just thought you were stupid, naive, and impulsive."
"Later I thought about it, you must be avoiding me, right?"
Xiong Chen nodded, "Yes, I just wanted to avoid you. The five years without you were the happiest and freest five years in my life, because I finally don't have to live in your shadow all the time!"
"Sister Qiu Yu, really, you are so outstanding."
"In every aspect, he is far ahead of his peers, and even makes me, a man, feel ashamed!"
"Being with you makes me really stressed!"
"Even when and how we will get the certificate, it was all arranged by you. You never discussed it with me from the beginning to the end. Don't you think this is ridiculous?"
"When I was a child, I was controlled by my family. Now that I have grown up, I have to be controlled by my wife. I don't want to live like this anymore!"
Tian Qiuyu was silent for a moment and reflected seriously: "Sorry, I am the only daughter in the Tian family. I have been raised as a boy since I was a child. I am used to it."
"If you are angry because of this, I apologize to you, and I will try to change my temper in the future."
"If you think marriage should be decided by a man, I don't have to rush you, or you can wait, but you have to give me an accurate time!"
Xiong Chen frowned, "That's not what I meant."
Tian Qiuyu's gaze was compelling, "So, Xiong Chen, what do you want to say to me?
Xiong Chen clenched his fists and mustered up the courage for the first time to say what he had hidden in his heart for more than ten years, "I will not get a certificate from you, let alone marry you!"
There was a brief silence in the carriage, and the atmosphere was like ice!
Tian Qiuyu looked uncertain and said: "Reason?"
Xiong Chen said directly: "There is no reason. I don't like this kind of life. I have always regarded you as my biological sister. How can I get the certificate from my sister?"
"Besides, you haven't liked me all this time. You only regard me as your younger brother, right?"
Tian Qiuyu did not shy away and admitted generously: "Yes, I don't like you. I have always regarded you as my younger brother!"
Xiong Chen looked happy, "So, you agree?"
Tian Qiuyu said categorically: "I don't agree!"
Xiong Chen was stunned, "Why? Since there is only family affection and no love between the two of us, why do we still force each other?"
Tian Qiuyu smiled, as if mocking himself: "You asked me the reason?"
"Yes, you don't like the arrangement at home, do you think I like it?"
"I don't like it either!"
"But we were born into this kind of family, do we have a choice?"
"As we enjoy the glory brought to us by our family, we must shoulder corresponding responsibilities!"
"If you didn't have the family behind you to back you up, Xiong Chen, would you be able to live as coolly as you do today?"
"How much trouble have you gotten into over the years?"
"If the Xiong family hadn't helped you support you, and if the Tian family had taken care of you, do you think you could still be so unscrupulous?"
"Xiong Chen, I don't like this kind of life either. When I was seventeen, I tried to resist once, but what was the result?"
