23. "Please ask Mrs. Xie to help keep the marriage certificate." ”

The moonlight poured in through the window.

Inside, the three of them stood in the hallway and remained at a stalemate.

Xia Youming raised his hand helplessly and sadly patted his chest heavily:

"I, Xia Youming, have lived for so many years, and I have suffered all kinds of hardships."

"Even now, I, Xia Youming, don't want everyone to think that the Xia family can come back to life and use the way of selling their daughter!"

By the end, there was a tremor in his voice that he hadn't even noticed.

"Li Li, you are the only daughter of our Xia family, and your parents are your baby daughter......"

What he hopes is that his daughter can live a truly happy life.

And not to marry into the hands of a ruthless person in the way of any agreement.

He can not be famous or rich, but he must have Xia Li happy.

"But Dad, do you think we're really happy now?"

Every day, the strings in my head have never been broken, and I have to think about how to save the Xia family all day long, thinking about borrowing money everywhere, and facing people who come to collect debts every day.

It's not easy at all to have a hard time like this.

Xia Li took a deep breath and pretended to be calm and said:

"Dad, if we still can't pay back the money this month, have you ever thought about what they will do to us?"

"Have you ever thought about it?"

Those people can do everything.

are all people in this circle, and naturally know that some powerful people can find someone to handle everything cleanly.

"Li Li ......"

Xia Li raised his hand to wipe away the tears that kept flowing from the corners of his eyes, and looked at Su Jing and Xia Youming who were standing in front of him with moist eyes.

"Daddy, Mommy."

She lowered her eyes and whispered:

"I've already figured it out."

The words that came out of the trembling lips rang out clearly in the quiet living room hallway.

"I'm going to marry Xie Yin."

After saying that, Xia Li turned around and walked into the room, holding the doorknob with the last of his strength to close the door.

As the door closed, Xia Li leaned against the door panel as if he had been drained of his strength and slowly closed his eyes.

The tears in the corners of his eyes slowly fell to the floor and finally disappeared.

She slowly crouched down against the door, her legs bent and her legs hugging her head between her legs.

She is not sad that she wants to marry Xie Yin, nor is she worried about whether she will be happy after marrying Xie Yin.

She was sad that even at this time, her parents still didn't want her to suffer a little.

But because of their love, Xia Li wanted to do something for them and this family even more.

Now, Xie Yin's conditions are also in front of him.

The opportunity to change is just around the corner, and there's no reason why she can't reach out and grab it.

Xia Li collected his emotions and raised his head from between his legs.

Reaching out to wipe away the tears left by the tears on his face, he stood up and walked to the bed, picking up the phone that was placed next to the pillow.

She looked at the chat box with Xie Yin, and her fingertips trembled lightly as she typed.

A Xiao Li: [Mr. Xie, are you there?] 】

X:【? 】

Looking at the message that popped up on the screen, Xia Li pursed his lips lightly, and his trembling fingertips typed, deleted, and organized the language on the input method.

In the next second, a voice call from a man suddenly popped up on the screen.

The sudden ringing of the phone made Xia Li's fingertips tremble violently and pressed the green answer button.

"Miss Xia came to me so late to figure out the answer?"

The man's deep and pleasant voice came from the mobile phone, as if a vague and numb electric current rushed into Xia Li's ears unsuspectingly.

"Hmm....." Xia Li bit her lip and replied softly.

As if plucking up enough courage, she spoke:

"I've thought about it, and I'll promise you terms."

The man on the other end of the phone was stunned.

Xie Yin, who was standing in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window in Tingyuan's living room and smoking at the moment, paused as he handed the cigarette to his lips.

The man's deep gaze looked at the dark night sky outside the window, and the corners of his mouth slightly hooked up an imperceptible arc.

"Really thought about it?"

It felt unbelievable.

It's like another confirmation.

Xia Li took a napkin from the bedside table, wiped the dry tears from the corners of his eyes, and whispered:

"I've figured it out."

Xie Yin pressed the freshly lit cigarette into the smoke extinguishing barrel beside him, held the mobile phone to his ear with one hand, and inserted the other hand into the trouser pocket of his suit carelessly.

In the huge living room, there is only a small dim lamp.

The shiny floor-to-ceiling window in front of him reflected the man's tall figure, and the girl's voice came from the mobile phone in his ears.

His gaze fell on the leaves of the garden that swayed gently with the sudden wind, and his thin lips lightly opened:

"Tomorrow morning at nine o'clock."

"I'll pick you up."

Hanging up the phone, Xie Yin, who was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, suddenly lowered his head and chuckled.

He lowered his eyes.

The eye fell on the watch he was wearing, which looked particularly incompatible with the string of Buddhist beads.

But so what?

The man's fingertips gently rubbed over the string of black Buddhist beads he wore on his wrist.

If only he liked it.

-

At nine o'clock the next morning, Xia Li went downstairs on time.

And the unfamiliar Rolls-Royce Phantom had already stopped in front of the unit.

Xie Yin was leaning on the body, holding a cigarette to his lips in his hand, and was about to light it with the metal cigarette lighter in his hand.

The afterglow suddenly fell on Xia Li who walked out of the unit door.

She slowly walked out of the unit door in a knee-length white dress.

Xie Yin was about to light a cigarette.

At that moment, it was as if he had suddenly returned to the snowy night of that year.

On the night when the snow fell, a girl in a long white dress swinging in a garden of white roses.

That was the first time he had seen the back of a girl and he was distracted.

Xie Yin still remembers that that day he was burned to his fingertips by the burned cigarette because of his distraction.

Xie Yin was stunned, and it wasn't until Xia Li walked in front of him that he could be pulled out of that memory.

He snapped the cigarette in his hand and threw it in the trash.

Xie Yin opened the co-pilot's door and cleared his throat:

"Let's go."

After getting into the car, Xie Yin reached out and took the box from the back seat and handed it to Xia Li.

Xia Li looked at the delicately packaged paper bag in the man's bony hands, and turned his head to look at him with some confusion.

Facing Xie Yin's gaze, Xia Li swallowed involuntarily.

Seeing her doubts, Xie Yin just said calmly, "Breakfast." ”

Xia Li took the paper bag from the man's hand.

She whispered a thank you to the man and carefully took out the hot latte and sandwich from the bag.

Xia Li's community is not far from the Civil Affairs Bureau, but this time it feels that the journey is extraordinarily long.

She ate the sandwich in her hand carefully, afraid of soiling the saddle.

The car slowly drove into the Civil Affairs Bureau, and Xie Yin was idle on the steering wheel with one hand.

"Did you bring everything?"

A man's voice sounded in his ears, and Xia Li, who had just bitten the sandwich, winked at the man.

She nodded, and quickened herself to chew the sandwich in her mouth:

"I've brought them all."

"Let's go."

The moment he stepped into the Civil Affairs Bureau side by side with the man, Xia Li only felt as if his feet were on the clouds, as if he was in a dream.

The registration process was followed, and the staff member who helped with the registration was a young girl.

She looked at the two people standing in front of her, and looked at them several times before she whispered:

"You ...... Are you sure you're here to get a marriage license? ”

The two nodded in unison.

Why doesn't she look like it?

The distance between the two people in front of them seemed to be like a galaxy that could not be seen or touched.

The expression on the man's face was faint, and the look on the girl's face was more unnatural.

There is no excitement or nervousness about to become a newlywed.

She was a little skeptical that the two of them had gone to the wrong service window.

The girl quietly glanced at the man standing beside the girl with her spare eyes, and then looked at the well-behaved and beautiful girl in front of her, and finally helped the two register with doubts in her heart.

It wasn't until the marriage certificate was stamped by the staff that Xia Li woke up like a dream.

The moment I walked out of the gate of the Civil Affairs Bureau, a fresh breeze with dry heat blew in my face.

Xia Li lowered his eyes and looked at the small red notebook tightly in his hand, remembering the scene when he came to the Civil Affairs Bureau last time.

Under the scorching sun, she stood outside the door of the Civil Affairs Bureau and waited for Qi Du for a morning.

But the other party didn't care and released her pigeons.

And not long after, I came to this civil affairs bureau again.

But this time, she and Xie Yin became a legal couple.

"What are you thinking?" Xie Yin handed the marriage certificate in his hand to Xia Li.

Xia Li came back to his senses: "It's nothing. ”

She looked at the marriage certificate handed over by the man, and before she could ask, the man's clear voice brushed through her ears unhurriedly:

"Please ask Mrs. Xie to help keep the marriage certificate."

The man stared down at her.

The sound of "Mrs. Xie" came into Xia Li's ears, staining the girl's ears with a thin layer of powder, which quickly spread to her cheeks.

Xia Li blushed and took the marriage certificate from the man's hand.

Xie Yin took in all the girl's expressions, looked at the girl's thin pink cheeks, and the tails of her eyes were raised.

After receiving the certificate, Xie Yin came to the door in person with the prepared agreement.

Everything was clearly written in the agreement, and although Xia Youming was reluctant, he could only sign the agreement.

"Mr. Xie."

Xia Youming handed the signed document to Xie Yin, and said with some trepidation:

"I'm just such a daughter, if she offends Mr. Xie on weekdays, please don't embarrass her......"

Su Jing, who was sitting on the side, turned her head and raised her hand to wipe the tears from her face.

Xie Yin took over the agreement from Xia Youming's hands.

He calmly picked up the teacup in front of him, took a sip and said:

"Don't worry, Mr. Xia, I will take care of Miss Xia for Mr. Xia."

While speaking, Xia Li had already sorted out all the luggage in his room and stood in the corridor pushing two suitcases.

Xie Yin got up from the sofa and walked to Xia Li's side.

The action naturally took the suitcase in Xia Li's hand, and his slender fingers held the handle of the suitcase:

"Then Mr. Xia, Mr. Su, I'll take Miss Xia back to Tingyuan first."

After saying goodbye to his parents, Xia Li moved to Tingyuan with Xie Yin.

This is not the first time Xia Li has come to Tingyuan, but it is the first time she has stepped into Tingyuan as "Mrs. Xie".

Xia Li watched Ji Cheng move his suitcase into the master bedroom on the third floor, and was still wondering if there would be anything wrong with this.

But the man's slightly hoarse voice sounded in his ears.

"I'm going back to Hong Kong City tonight, you can just sleep in the master bedroom."
