Back to high school, Peking University is beckoning me

Chapter 173 Extra 1 - Getting a Certificate

On the eve of graduation from the senior year, the two sets of parents met formally at Shiyunfang.

The purpose of this meeting was mainly to discuss the wedding date.

Mother Lu took it very seriously and took Father Lu to get a haircut and buy him a new set of clothes. She also got a new hairstyle for herself and looked much more energetic.

Ruan Fuxi's family was also very concerned and came to the box early to wait.

"Son, Youning and the others should be here soon. Go to the door to welcome them," Ms. Liao urged.

Ruan Fuxi stood up as she was told, straightened her clothes, and walked out of the box.

Ruan Fuxi didn't have to wait long at the restaurant door before Lu Youning and the others arrived.

Ruan Fuxi hurriedly greeted them with a smile, "Uncle and aunt, you are here."

He was dressed very formally today, in a well-ironed suit. He looked handsome and reserved, and he looked like he had grown into a man.

Lu Youning winked at him playfully and whispered, "You look very handsome today! Especially handsome!"

Ruan Fuxi tickled her palm lovingly, "Ningning looks beautiful today too."

Afterwards, Ruan Fuxi took them into the box. As soon as the two families met, the atmosphere suddenly became warm.

Ms. Liao warmly invited Mr. and Mrs. Lu to take a seat, saying, "Oh, my dear relatives, I've finally been waiting for you to come. Thank you for your hard work along the way."

Mother Lu's face was filled with smiles as she responded, "It's not hard at all, it's all for the children."

After everyone was seated, the waiters began to serve the dishes one after another. They were all Shiyunfang’s signature dishes, which were colorful, fragrant and delicious.

At this moment, the parents of both sides were not paying much attention to the food. They took a few bites and soon got down to business.

Father Ruan spoke first, and said sincerely, "My dear relatives, you have raised a good daughter. Our family loves her very much. Don't worry, when Youning marries us, we will never let her suffer any grievances."

Ms. Liao also agreed: "Yes, Youning is a sensible and well-behaved child. It is a blessing for our Fuxi to be with him."

Father Lu responded with a smile: "You are too polite, my in-laws. Fu Xi is a handsome and ambitious child. We like him from the bottom of our hearts."

While the parents of both sides were talking, Lu Youning and Ruan Fuxi didn't dare to interrupt. They just listened quietly and looked at each other from time to time.

Ms. Liao brought up the topic again, "My dear, his father and I have been thinking about this. Our two children have been dating for four years and their relationship is good. Should we let them settle down? This will also put an end to our worries as parents."

Mother Lu smiled happily, "Yes, it's time to decide."

Ms. Liao was very happy to get the consent of her in-laws, and the two mothers began to talk about discussing the wedding date.

Ms. Liao took out her cell phone and showed Lu's mother the auspicious date she had seen a few days ago.

"My dear relatives, I noticed a few days ago that there are several good days in the second half of the year. For example, there are several days in September and October that are auspicious for marriage, and the meaning is also good.

Besides, the weather in October was comfortable and not too hot, which was perfect for a wedding.”

Mother Lu leaned over to take a closer look, muttering, "Hmm, it looks quite suitable. Let's let the children choose. After all, it's their wedding. And then we can pick a good day to get the certificate."

Upon hearing this, Ms. Liao nodded in agreement. She smiled at Lu Youning and Ruan Fuxi and said, "Yes, yes, yes, your in-laws are really thoughtful. Fuxi, Youning, what do you think of October?"

Ruan Fuxi and Lu Youning looked at each other, and Lu Youning nodded in agreement.

Ruan Fuxi smiled and replied, "Mom, we think October is a good time. The weather is comfortable, and it won't be hard for relatives and friends to come to the wedding."

Father Lu said, "Since the children have agreed, the wedding date can be tentatively set for October."

Father Ruan also nodded in agreement, "Yes, let's go back and make good preparations, and let them decide the date for getting the marriage certificate."

After finishing talking about the important matters, the two parents were able to enjoy their meal with peace of mind. For a while, there was constant laughter in the box.

Ruan Fuxi quietly took her hand and interlocked their fingers under the table.

The two smiled at each other, their eyes filled with anticipation for the future.

After dinner, the parents left first, leaving the two of them some time alone.

Lu Youning shook their holding hands and asked, "Where are we going now?"

"Get in the car first, I'll take you somewhere."

Lu Youning: "Oh, a surprise?" Then he opened the passenger door and sat down.

Ruan Fuxi sat in the driver's seat, fastened his seat belt, and praised: "Ningning is really smart."

After half an hour's drive, the car drove into a residential area and stopped downstairs of a building.

Ruan Fuxi turned to look at Lu Youning, his eyes full of tenderness, "We're here, get off."

Lu Youning remembered that this community was built two years ago. She had paid attention to it and originally planned to pay a down payment, but then she thought that she didn’t know where she would work in the future, so she gave up for the time being.

She asked curiously, "What are you doing here? Are you looking at a house?"

"Yes." Ruan Fuxi took her hand and walked into the elevator and went up to the sixth floor.

After getting out of the elevator, Ruan Fuxi walked to a door, took out the key and opened it.

Lu Youning followed him in. The house was about 120 square meters, with three bedrooms and two living rooms. The decoration style was simple but stylish.

In the spacious living room, there is a set of textured light gray sofas, matched with several soft-colored pillows, which looks particularly comfortable.

"Do you like it?" Ruan Fuxi hugged her from behind, and his gentle voice sounded in her ears.

Lu Youning nodded continuously, her face full of joy, "I like it."

"It's yours."

Lu Youning turned around, a puzzled look in her eyes, "Is this the wedding room?"

Ruan Fuxi calmly took out the property certificate, handed it to Lu Youning and gestured for her to open it.

Lu Youning took the property certificate, opened it and saw the three words "Lu Youning" written in the signature column.

"This is one of the betrothal gifts. My parents have already prepared a separate wedding room."

Lu Youning put her arms around his neck, leaned close to his lips, and said playfully, "Our President Ruan is so generous!"

Ruan Fuxi chuckled and kissed her lips, "Then... Wife, when will you give me a name? I can't wait."

"It will be soon, but we need to choose an auspicious day." Lu Youning replied with a smile.

"Okay, I'll listen to my wife."

After agreeing on the wedding date, they flew back to Beijing. After all, Ruan Fuxi still had company matters to take care of.

June 6th is an auspicious day for marriage.

On this sunny morning, Ruan Fuxi took Lu Youning's hand and walked into the Civil Affairs Bureau.

They didn't arrive very early, so there were several couples lined up in front of them.

The two sat on chairs in the hall, and Ruan Fuxi was holding the queue number in his hand.

Lu Youning let out a breath, her heart beating madly. She was really getting married.

Ruan Fuxi noticed her nervousness and put his arm around her shoulders, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Lu Youning looked at his serious and determined expression, and suddenly she was no longer nervous.

Yes, with him around, he has always done a good job and should do well in the future.

It didn't take long before Lu Youning and his team came. Following the staff's instructions, they filled out the information, signed, and put their fingerprints on each item.

When the staff handed them the two red marriage certificates, it meant that they had become husband and wife.

The two took the marriage certificate, thanked the staff with happy faces, and then walked out of the Civil Affairs Bureau.

The two stood in front of the Civil Affairs Bureau and took several photos holding the newly issued red books.

Then he posted it to his family group and Moments, with the caption: "We're getting married!"
