Luo Xi was about to go home and change his clothes first, only to remember that his suitcase was still in Si Junxian's car.

So she rushed directly to the Civil Affairs Bureau, and Si Junxian also happened to arrive.

"Well, I'll change my clothes first. Luo Xi didn't dare to look at Si Junxian's eyes, and said stubbornly.

Si Junxian glanced at the red wine stains on her sweater, his eyes were cold, and he handed over the car keys.

Luo Xi quickly took it, like taking a hot potato, ran to the car, found a sweater from the trunk, and got into the car to change it.

She finished all this as fast as she could, hurried back to Si Junxian's side, and whispered through the action of looking at her watch: "Let's go, time is very tight." ”

Si Junxian didn't say anything, and with the same cadence, his long legs were much farther than Luo Xi's.

The two drew the last marriage registration number, and they still had to queue up.

Luo Xi showed an anxious look, and at the same time, there was some uneasiness caused by nervousness.

Si Junxian sat calmly on the bench.

Luo Xi looked at his calm appearance, but relaxed a little.

She knew that it was very excessive to embarrass Si Junxian in public, but the two had no feelings, so her approach would not make Si Junxian angry like a real couple, which was a blessing in misfortune.

The atmosphere at the marriage registry office is very warm, and both the people who come to register and the staff are full of smiles.

"Don't be nervous, little girl, it's the first time you're here, right?" An eldest sister who came out to fetch hot water took the initiative to comfort Luo Xi when she saw Luo Xi's appearance.

Luo Xi smiled awkwardly, "Hmm." ”

"Don't worry, as long as you draw a number, you can do it. We are wholeheartedly at the service of newcomers. The eldest sister said with a smile.

"Thank you. Luo Xi's smile stiffened.

"Is this your husband?" the eldest sister asked Luo Xi in a low voice, looking at Si Junxian with her eyes.

Luo Xi had never been treated so warmly by a stranger, so he had to nod yes.

"It's a good match, it's good, it's good!" the eldest sister said, and the calling system showed Luo Xi's "9" number.

"Number nine, number 9, good, long time, let's get in. The eldest sister urged.

Luo Xi thought to himself, there is only one year of validity, what do you say is long?

Si Junxian walked into the registered room one step ahead of her, Luo Xi smiled at the eldest sister, and walked in next.

"I'll take a look at the documents, have you taken a photo?" The staff who handled the formalities was a little girl, quite neat.

"Photos?" Luo Xi came for the first time, and he didn't know if he had to bring his own photos, "Can't you take photos here?"

The little girl smiled and said, "You can take it in a professional photo studio and bring it over, and you can use it if it meets the standards." Of course, we can shoot here, and now the little couples, aren't the requirements relatively high!"

"Oh...... Such. Luo Xi looked at Si Junxian.

"We're shooting here. Si Junxian made the decision directly, but Luo Xi had no opinion.

"Let's go take a picture first, next room. The little girl smiled and pointed, "The master is about to get off work, hurry up!"

"Well, good!"

As a result, Luo Xi was in a hurry and almost tripped over the leg of the stool, but fortunately, Si Junxian held her arm steadily.

"Girl, don't worry, you're so nervous about getting the certificate, what should you do at the wedding?" the little girl joked.

Luo Xi's face suddenly turned red, and there was no way to explain it.

"I won't regret my marriage, come slowly. Si Junxian was beside him.

"Haha, your husband is so humorous. The little girl had already noticed Si Junxian's appearance, and when she heard that the handsome guy was so humorous, it was a plus.

Appearance is justice, and good-looking people have the right to speak.

Luo Xi thought to himself, this man is simply a walking fan absorber.

When they walked into the photo studio, the last couple had just come out, smiling happily, and the girl had a happy expression on her face.

Luo Xi suddenly felt that the staff here were really happy, and they were facing newlyweds who were getting married every day, full of positive energy.

"Yo, I'm lucky to meet so many handsome men and beautiful women today, it's eye-catching. ”

It was about to get off work, the photographer made a joke, and then professionally directed Si Junxian and Luo Xi to stand in front of the big red curtain.

Si Junxian took off his coat and wore only a white shirt, while Luo Xi wore a milky white turtleneck, and the two stood in front of the camera, looking clean and quiet.

The photographer is satisfied with the angle and is ready to press the shutter.

But from the lens of the camera, he realized that the composition was not quite right.

The girl tilted her head to the left, yes, and the gentleman tilted her neck to the right too...... Don't be so stiff, move softly, and show your love...... Lean your head against each other and be intimate......" The photographer chattered, directing the couple to make moves as usual.

Luo Xi cautiously used his afterglow to sneak a glimpse of Si Junxian's reaction and expression, afraid that he would be impatient.

But fortunately, Si Junxian was very cooperative, and Luo Xi gradually lost his distractions.

The two gradually drew closer to each other.

"Come closer, shoulder to shoulder, alas! That's it, don't move!" He was full of enthusiasm, and after getting his posture, he began to correct Luo Xi's stiffness and Si Junxian's poker face, "The girl smiled, a happy smile was revealed, don't be so serious, don't be so serious, marry such a beautiful wife, be happy, okay? Hey, yes, very good! Mr. put his hand around his wife's waist, don't be embarrassed, this will make the camera feel better! Take a wedding photo once in a lifetime, it must be perfect!"

In the face of such a dedicated photographer, it is difficult for both of them not to listen to him.

Luo Xi straightened her waist, and Si Junxian's hand wrapped around her waist and hugged her to her side.

Luo Xi's waist suddenly stiffened, and he felt that he couldn't even move.

"Girl, girl, what about the smile? Doesn't my husband usually hug his waist?" The photographer deliberately made the newcomer laugh, just catching Luo Xi's embarrassed smile.

But judging from the photos, it is a shy appearance, with a hint of shyness.

The photographer was satisfied.

"How about coming and seeing this one? I've got two of them, and you pick one and put it on your marriage certificate. "He came over with a camera and showed the pictures on a small screen.

Luo Xi leaned over and took a look, in the two photos, Si Junxian's smile was very light, at first glance, he didn't think he had an expression, but after a closer look, there was a faint smile in his eyes, which was similar to his gentle appearance on weekdays. But Luo Xi is smiling implicitly and shyly in the photo, while the other is a little fake although he is smiling obviously.

Luo Xi felt that the latter seemed to be more in line with the festive atmosphere of the wedding photo, regardless of whether it was fake or not, anyway, he showed his teeth.

“…… Well, then choose this one, look festive. Luo Xi didn't think too much about it and quickly made a decision.

"The other one is better. Si Junxian suddenly said loudly.

Luo Xi didn't expect him to give an opinion, and immediately said to the photographer: "Then listen to him." ”

"Okay, this one is good, it seems that Mr. likes to be more subtle and introverted. The photographer smiled and put away the camera.

Marriage is no better than divorce, after the information of both parties is verified, the staff quickly completed the marriage certificate and handed it over to the two of them.

"Happy newlywed!" also sent blessings by the way.

"Thank you. Si Junxian smiled faintly, and the little girl in the office smiled embarrassedly.

Luo Xi also thanked him.

When the two walked out of the office, Si Junxian stretched out his hand to Luo Xi: "Give me safekeeping." ”

Luo Xi was slightly stunned, reacted immediately, and handed over the marriage certificate in the bag to Si Junxian before he had time to receive it.

To be honest, it didn't help her to keep it.

When he walked out of the Civil Affairs Bureau, Luo Xi found that it was already dark.

She suddenly remembered that Si Junxian had said the time when Si Mu arrived before.

Five.

Isn't it too late to say that?

"Are you going to the airport now? Isn't my aunt here a long time ago?" she felt guilty.

"It's a little late, but it should land right away. Si Junxian's pace was not slow, and Luo Xi followed him into the car.

"What my aunt likes to eat, I'll order it, it's a little bit of my heart. Luo Xi wanted to make up for his apologies to Si Junxian.

"Well, it's all booked. Si Jun drove without squinting.

Luo Xi saw that he was not very interested and ignored him, so he thought that he was still angry and couldn't say anything.

The boat is naturally straight to the bridge, so let's take one step at a time. She thought to herself.

However, when he arrived at the roundabout outside the airport, Luo Xi's heart began to beat faster because of nervousness.

Rao is experienced in a variety of battles in the mall, and it is the first time that she has pretended to be someone else's wife, and it is inevitable that she will not be comfortable, so she quietly adjusts her state.

"She had been waiting for us in the VIP lounge for ten minutes and her temper was probably not very good. Si Junxian looked at his mobile phone after parking the car and said to Luo Xi.

Luo Xi let out an "oh" sound and was mentally prepared.

When they arrived outside the VIP lounge, Si Junxian suddenly took Luo Xi's hand before pushing the door in.

Si Junxian's palm was warm and dry, and Luo Xi's face couldn't help but turn red.

She puffed up her chest and cheered up, followed Si Junxian's footsteps, and faced the woman who walked towards the main hall.

Si Mu was flipping through an art magazine, and she could see that she was not in a good mood, and she was turning pages very frequently, and she was not reading the content carefully.

Hearing someone coming in, Si Mu didn't look up.

Instead, Duan Yuyuan, who was sitting on the single sofa next to her, stood up all of a sudden.

"Mr. Si, Mr. Luo. She greeted cautiously.

Si Junxian glanced at her lightly and didn't agree, but that look made Duan Yuyuan regret that she shouldn't have listened to Si Mu's words.

But if she really can't come, she will be unwilling, so she must pretend not to see Si Junxian's dissatisfaction.

"Mother. Si Junxian greeted respectfully, but it sounded a little distant to Luo Xi.

Only then did Si Mu put down the magazine and raised her head.

However, the first glance was not at his son, but at Luo Xi's face.

Then he looked down and looked at the hands of the two of them with ten fingers clasped.

"Hello aunt. Luo Xi smiled, the dimple on the right side of her cheek looming.

When Si Mu looked at her, she did not avoid the other party's gaze.

Si Junxian's mother looks young, her figure is well-maintained, not as bloated as a middle-aged woman, but not on the thin side, but just right. And her facial features are upright and magnificent, her face is fair and delicate, she pays attention to maintenance at first glance, and has done medical beauty, and there is no wrinkle on her face.

With such a mother, it is no wonder that the son is born so outstanding. Luo Xi thought silently.

Seeing Luo Xi's calm appearance, Si Mu felt that this girl had no self-knowledge, so she came directly to get off the horse.

"Am I that old?"

This is obviously an honorific title for the elders of the younger generation, but it has become a derogatory meaning here in Simu.

Luo Xi understood from this question that Si Mu was not satisfied with her.

She was mentally prepared, so she was not annoyed, and said calmly: "Because I and Si are always friends, that's why I call you like this, and I don't mean to be offended, I'm sorry." ”

"Friend?" Si Mu threw the magazine on the table, and her eyes sank, "What kind of friend is it?"

Luo Xi always kept smiling, not letting himself look embarrassed and at a loss.

She knew very well that she didn't need to answer it herself.

Sure enough, Si Junxian quietly squeezed his soft little hand, suggesting that Luo Xi should not speak.

"Mother, Xiaoxi is my girlfriend. He took it in his stride, as if he was just announcing it, not asking for anyone's permission.

Duan Yuyuan, who was sitting on the side, never took his eyes off the hands of the two for a moment, and the jealousy in his eyes was about to be suppressed.

I have never seen Si Junxian holding the girl's hand so intimately, never.

Si's mother looked at her son's small movements one by one, and it was clear that Si Junxian was deliberately doing it for herself.

She remained silent and took a sip of rose tea: "It stands to reason that when you are older, you should make your own decisions about love." But as a parent, you always hope that your child can find the most perfect spouse, you can take a fancy to this girl, presumably she also has something special. You have a good eye for investing in art, but my mother wants to advise you that women are not like artworks, they are beautiful on the outside and beautiful on the inside. ”

All those present could understand Simu's off-string sound.

The corners of Duan Yuyuan's mouth hooked up a trace of imperceptible arc, and the jealousy just now also disappeared by half a minute.

She believes that as long as the lady does not approve of the woman, no matter how hard she tries, she will not be able to become Mrs. Si.

"The mother is right, and the son remembers the teachings. Si Jun replied defiantly.

"You're never late, and today you were actually late for the pick-up. If Yu Yuan hadn't come over, when would you like to leave your mother at the airport?" Si Mu said in a gentle tone and was not angry, but obviously, this was not good.

And she just took advantage of the topic to find an excuse for Duan Yuyuan's arrival.

The big stone in Duan Yuyuan's heart fell to the ground.

"Because something delayed, I'm sorry to keep my mother waiting. Si Junxian took the initiative to admit his mistake.

"Is it because of her?" Si Mu glanced at Luo Xi again.

"It's not. It's my reason, there will be no next time. Si Jun said enviously, and then changed his words: "Xiaoxi, she knew that you were coming, so she specially arranged a dinner." Why don't we eat and talk?"

When Luo Xi heard this, he immediately smiled and nodded.

She tries not to talk as much as possible, so as not to be picked on by the other party.

Si Mu glanced at Luo Xi indifferently, "Okay." ”

When she got up, she turned her head to Duan Yuyuan and said, "Yuyuan should go with me, outsiders don't know my preferences." ”

Luo Xi naturally understands who is the "outsider" in Simu's mouth.

It doesn't matter, it's acting anyway, this kind of thing can't hurt her in the slightest.

The VIP lounge has a dedicated elevator leading to the VIP parking area.

Si Junxian originally wanted Luo Xi to sit in the co-pilot, but was stopped by Si Mu.

Luo Xi immediately understood, let him aside, and asked Si Mu to sit up.

Duan Yuyuan stood at the back door, seeing that the mother was settled and ready to get into the car.

"Yu Yuan, aren't you here by car?" Si Junxian closed the co-pilot's door and asked in a cold voice.

Duan Yuyuan pursed her lips and emphasized again: "Mr. Si, it was Mrs. who contacted me, I thought you had something to delay, so I arranged for the company's car to come over." ”

"Then you take the company car. Si Jun said envially.

"Yes. General Manager. Duan Yuyuan lowered her head and agreed, not wanting people to see her aggrieved expression.

Luo Xi watched all this, and for the first time saw Si Junxian's stern attitude towards his subordinates.

After both of them got into the car, Si Mu looked at the back row where there was only Luo Xi from the rearview mirror.

"Where's Yu Yuan?" she asked, "I still want to talk to her." ”

"With your son here, what else do you want to say to her?" Si Junxian's relaxed tone seemed to be joking.

Si Mu turned her head to look at her son and smiled: "If you can be honest with me, of course I don't have to talk to her." ”

"When did I lie to my mother?" Si Junxian started the car and looked straight ahead.

Si Mu looked at her son's handsome side face, "You didn't lie to me, but you always hide something from me after all." ”

Luo Xi sat behind Si Mu and saw the care and love in Si Mu's eyes.

But there is still a trace of unknown feelings, and she is a little incomprehensible.

Like ...... Apology? It's like blaming.

"My son just doesn't want you to worry too much about me. Si Junxian said with a pleasant face.

"You kid. Si Mu shook her head, as if she had something to say, but because there were more people in the car, she finally swallowed back.

In this way, Luo Xi felt even more redundant in her heart.

could have talked to her son well, but an outsider was there, making it difficult for her to show her inner feelings.

"You concentrate on driving, I'll talk to the young lady in the back. Si Mu took the first step to block Si Junxian's mouth and took the opportunity to talk to Luo Xi.

She naturally knows that her son is very tight-mouthed, and it is a fantasy to find any flaws.

"This young lady, how long have you been with Ah Xian, why have you never heard him mention you before?" asked Si Mu.

Luo Xi has always been on high alert, and she listened to the chat between Si Junxian and Si Mu, and has been analyzing the relationship between mother and son.

Hearing this, she replied good-naturedly: "Auntie, my name is Luo Xi." Brother Jiu and I came together for work reasons, and although the time was short, it was like each other at first sight. ”

Luo Xi, who was sitting in the back row, couldn't see the expressions of the people in the front row.

When Si Junxian's words did not fall, a dark light in her eyes was fleeting.

Si Mu's face changed.

"What do you call him?" A condensed question made Luo Xi's heart sink.

She paused for a moment, recalled what she had just said, and didn't feel that there was a problem, so she replied, "Brother Jiu." ”

"You and they are all the way?" Si Mu's words became more and more harsh.

Luo Xi was confused and aimed at Si Junxian.

"Mother, Xiaoxi likes to call it like this, and I don't object to it, don't speculate. Si Junxian finally opened his mouth.

Si Mu was obviously very unhappy, "She can do whatever she likes? How come I haven't seen you pamper anyone like this? Are you still associating with that group of friends?"

Luo Xi felt that the air pressure in the car suddenly rose a lot.

She saw that the knuckles of Si Junxian's right hand holding the steering wheel were white, and there was no expression on the carefully carved side face, but it could make people feel cold.

She subconsciously adjusted her sitting position, and her hand also held on to the inside handle of the door.

However, Si Junxian was not as angry as she guessed.

The car was still driving smoothly, and a calm male voice sounded: "Mother, please pay attention to your speech." If my friends are indiscriminate, then who am I?"

Si Mu had stabilized her mind at this time, and said seriously: "Ah Xian, my mother didn't mean to blame you. It's just your current identity, you must be cautious when making friends. In case they take advantage of you, or ......"

When she said this, Si Mu realized Luo Xi's existence again, lowered her eyes and swallowed the second half of the sentence, and continued: "You know, people are unpredictable, I am afraid that you will be used. ”

Luo Xi looked at it silently and deduced that this topic was a taboo between mother and son.

Presumably there have been conflicts because of this before, otherwise Si Mu would not have adjusted her emotions so quickly in anger.

She must also be afraid that Si Junxian will be angry.

The words are not heavy, the words are secondary, and the more important thing is the tone and expression.

Si Junxian's appearance just now, even Luo Xi became nervous, I believe that Si Mu can detect it better.

"I remember what my mother said, and I don't have to repeat it. Si Junxian said lightly.

"That's good. Si Mu said meaningfully, facing Luo Xi with a side face and said, "Don't call him like that again, do you hear?"

Luo Xi looked at Si Junxian, and then at Si Mu: "Hmm." ”

She couldn't guess what was hidden in this, it was just a title, why did Si Mu mind so much?

After the topic ended, there was an awkward silence in the car.

Xu felt that the atmosphere was dull, and the mother looked sideways at her son's cold face, so she gave up the idea of chatting with him.

"What do you do?Where is your family?What school do you go to?" She began to interrogate Luo Xi's family history.

"I am now the Asia Pacific Director of UAC, my family is gone, and I am studying at the National University School of Arts. Luo Xi's answer was like a stream.

"National University School of Arts?" Si Mu nodded, "Although it is recognized as a first-class university in China, its international reputation is still a little worse. What about a master's degree?"

"I only went to undergrad. Luo Xi replied truthfully.

In fact, because she was pregnant that year, she was arranged to go abroad without even waiting for her successful graduation.

"With such a low academic background, many of your classmates should have been admitted to graduate school or gone abroad for further study, right?

Fortunately, Luo Xi didn't want to hide anything, she said simply: "Many of my classmates can't enter UAC even if they go to further studies." Ability is not necessarily reflected in academic qualifications, and I have learned a lot in practice. ”

Si Mu did not find satisfaction from Luo Xi, but was defeated by the hidden needle.

She began to think that this girl was a little not simple, at least not scheming.

If people make preconceived judgments about someone or something, it is difficult to change the first impression.

Luo Xi is here in Simu, and when she knew that she existed, she was not favored.

The reason why she wanted to come to Longcheng in person was decided after listening to Jiang Mengxi's mother's words.

That night, after learning that her daughter and Si Junxian had met, Jiang's mother immediately gave feedback to Si Yun: "Sister Yun, I asked Mengmeng tonight, and the two children have already met. We dreamed of dreams, and didn't say a bad word, you know, her eyes are very picky. Of the boys introduced earlier, she can count a bunch of shortcomings in two out of ten, and the other eight are not even willing to mention it. This time, when I asked what she answered, the comments were excellent. ”

When Si Mu heard this, a smile immediately appeared, "Is it? That's great! I'll call and ask Ah Xian what he means!"

"Hehe, don't worry, listen to what I've said. Jiang's mother laughed embarrassedly, what she said before was actually to probe Si Junxian's tone, to see if she knew that Si Junxian already had a girlfriend, and she knew it.

When Si Mu heard this, she was suspicious in her heart, so she asked, "What's the matter?"

"It seems that you don't know that Ah Xian talked about a girlfriend in Longcheng. Jiang Mu said quietly, "We don't want me to tell you the truth, we just said that we don't want to snatch love, and we want to bless Ah Xian." Alas, look at it, the falling flowers are intentionally ruthless, don't you make us sad!"

"This ......" Si Mu couldn't react for a while.

Jiang Mu continued: "Don't be angry with Ah Xian, we Mengmeng specially instructed me, and she didn't let me find you." I'll just say that no one is to blame for this, but you are to blame. Don't you know your own son? If you had told us earlier, you wouldn't have to waste your child's feelings, wouldn't you? Ah Xian couldn't let Mengmeng get off the stage in person, can you tell me about me as a mother? It's not good to bully people like this. ”

With that, she sighed again.

"Sister Qiu, I will personally implement this matter. I really don't know about this, don't worry, I will definitely ask Ah Xian to give Mengmeng an explanation. He's really too much!" Si Mu was so angry that she had a headache after listening to Jiang Mu's story about how the two met.

"Don't let us dream of being bad guys. Mother Jiang reminded with ulterior motives.

"No, I'm measured. You can rest assured, as long as Mengmeng is willing, the door of our company will always be open for her. Si Mu naturally heard the meaning of Jiang Mu's words.

It's okay for you to go to your son to settle accounts, but don't sell my daughter, we want to save face and won't sue behind our backs.
