Bright Era of China Entertainment

Chapter 751 Happiness on the Red Background
Immersed in the atmosphere of imagining the future, the sky quietly brightened.

The couple realized it later and hurriedly made preparations to get their marriage certificate.

Chu Xuan took a quick shower in the bathroom, returned to the bedroom to dry his hair, changed into a black suit, helped Liu Yifei find her white suit and put it in her pocket, then picked up the briefcase on the table that had the required documents sorted out, and walked downstairs.

There was still some time before the agreed departure time of 7 o'clock, and he was a little impatient. He was still energetic after staying up all night, and the moment he pushed the door and walked out of the villa, he jumped towards the sunshine like a child.

This was something he had never done before. The moment of getting the certificate made it difficult for him to suppress his excitement and he let out his youthful nature.

Suddenly, the doorbell rang, interrupting Chu Xuan's passionate thoughts. He turned around and went to open the door. It was Sister Hua and Ren Quan who came early.

"Sister, Brother Quan, good morning."

"Tsk, tsk, the clothes are already changed, you are so busy."

Wang Jinhua saw that her brother had changed into a suit and seemed to be in a hurry to get married with Xixi, which made her tease him.

Ren Quan was also looking at them teasingly, and Chu Xuan welcomed them in with a smile.

It had been discussed yesterday that Chu Xuan would be accompanied to the Civil Affairs Bureau by Liu Xiaoli, Wang Jinhua and Ren Quan, while Liu Yifei would be accompanied by Ankang and Su Chang. They would be considered the on-site delegation to witness the union of the newlyweds.

In the small villa, Liu Xiaoli, who also had not slept all night, was making breakfast in the kitchen while the rest of the family was still sleeping.

Liu Xiaoli heard the gate bell ring and walked out. When she arrived at the door, she saw three people coming towards her.

Seeing that it was Chu Xuan who opened the door and had changed into a suit, her mother-in-law also joked: "You got up early today, why didn't you sleep in? And you changed into a suit, are you in such a hurry?"

Chu Xuan was slightly embarrassed, and changed shoes with Sister Hua and Ren Quan and walked into the villa.

"Is this Xixi's clothes?" Liu Xiaoli glanced at the pocket of the clothes.

"Yes, we have discussed it, black and white." Chu Xuan said it a little embarrassedly.

Liu Xiaoli couldn't help laughing: "I was just thinking about what clothes you guys would wear to look good in photos, just discuss it, I don't want to worry about it anymore."

She walked to the kitchen: "Sit down for a while, have breakfast and then we'll leave."

"Okay." Chu Xuan, Wang Jinhua and Ren Quan walked towards the living room.

"Should we pick up Xixi first or go directly to the Civil Affairs Bureau?" Ren Quan asked.

"Let's go directly to the Civil Affairs Bureau. Su Chang drove here and brought Xixi and uncle to meet us at the Civil Affairs Bureau." Chu Xuan said.

"Today is a great day, as all the public departments are at work," said Wang Jinhua.

"Indeed." Ren Quan nodded slightly.

The Spring Festival holiday ends on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, and today, the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, happens to be a working day.

The couple will not be able to get the certificate a day earlier, and if they delay for a few days, the relevant departments will be busy with official duties.

Overall, today is a good day. Liu Yifei spent two days to handle the formalities and happened to arrive today to get the marriage certificate. She grasped the timing very cleverly.

……

Shangri-La Hotel, inside the room.

In front of the bathroom mirror, Liu Yifei was applying foundation and drawing her eyebrows.

Normally, she seldom dresses up. She wants to be comfortable by having fewer tedious daily routines.

But today was different from the past. She was going to get married with Chu Xuan and take ID photos. This was a very important photo opportunity in her life, so she wanted to make herself look more beautiful and face this day with her best side as much as possible.

The cosmetics were brought by Su Chang. At the request of her good sister, Su Chang specially donated the limited edition that she herself was reluctant to use, just to create a better moment for her good sister.

Su Chang watched from the side, looking at her sister in the mirror who was dressing herself up seriously for once, and she murmured jokingly: "Someone is going to get married and become a wife."

Liu Yifei paused while drawing her eyebrows, and stomped her feet, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "Oh, don't make me laugh, I'm putting on makeup!"

Su Chang shut up, narrowed his eyes and looked grinning.

"Xixi, are you okay?" Ankang's voice came from the door.

"Uncle, it's almost done!" Su Chang replied helpfully.

After dressing up, Liu Yifei stood in front of the mirror and looked at herself. She usually didn't pay much attention to her appearance, but this time she seemed to pay special attention to it.

She had slightly curved eyebrows, pink lips, a crystal clear nose, and a face with light makeup. I heard that women in ancient times had to wear their hair in a bun after getting married, so she tied her hair into a bun.

"Chu Xuan should like it, right?" she murmured in her heart.

"Tsk, who cares whether he likes it or not, this is what I look like. I dressed up for him personally early in the morning. He should feel honored!" She was arrogant again.

"Let's go!" Liu Yifei and Su Chang walked out.

Ankang looked at his daughter, who looked even more beautiful with light makeup on, and gave a complicated smile.

Su Chang found it very interesting. He had just heard Xixi talk about her experiences over the past few days. The role played by this "jealous father" was really interesting.

Carrying relevant documents, the three of them walked into the hotel elevator and went to the underground parking lot to find Su Chang's car.

"Bang!" The father and daughter sat in the back seat of the car. Su Chang, who was in the driver's seat, started the car and drove straight to the Civil Affairs Bureau.

Liu Yifei's beautiful face was reflected in the back seat window, and her eyes were full of longing as she admired the scenery outside the window.

Yesterday, she was still worried and anxious. She longed to become husband and wife with Chu Xuan and start a better life, but she always felt that she was not fully prepared to be a wife.

After opening her heart to Chu Xuan all night and having a frank chat about the future, she is no longer as entangled as she was yesterday. All her distracting thoughts turned into a red line, heading straight for the door that symbolizes happiness.

"We're here." Su Chang stopped the car.

"Get off the car, it's in front." Ankang said. The Civil Affairs Bureau hall and the Civil Affairs Bureau marriage registration office were on both sides. He took his daughter to the building hall of the marriage registration office.

The human mind is the most unfathomable and cannot be controlled by oneself.

Seeing the palace in front of her that had witnessed the happiness of thousands of couples, Liu Yifei, who had just been full of longing in the car, immediately became confused again.

She walked with her hands in her pockets, her eyes looking towards the marriage registration office building, and the random thoughts that suddenly arose in her mind were also making a fuss, as if two little angels were quarreling.

[The white angel was beaming with joy: "I'm going to get married with Chu Xuan!"

The Black Angel said with disdain: "Marriage is a grave. Those who have experienced it say they regret it."

The white angel put his hands on his hips and said, "What do you know? Those who regret don't understand love!"

The black angel sneered: "Love? That also has to succumb to reality!"

The white angel folded his arms: "Reality? With Chu Xuan and I being evenly matched, no factor in reality can defeat us!"

The Black Angel shook his head: "Men are always fickle, so don't be so absolute."

The white angel stretched his neck: "Humph! Men get tired of the old and love the new because women can't control them properly. I will control Chu Xuan completely!"

The black angel was noncommittal: "Really?"

Just as the white angel was about to say something else, he was interrupted by external factors. 】

"Xixi." Sister Hua's voice came to her ears, bringing Liu Yifei back to her senses from her trance.

"Sister Hua, Mom, Brother Quan." Liu Yifei responded sweetly, and took her right hand out of her pocket to smooth the hair beside her ear.

She called out to three of the four people who came, except Chu Xuan, because the sight of Chu Xuan made her feel an indescribable sense of shyness.

They had only not seen each other for one day and had talked all night, but Chu Xuan actually felt embarrassed to look Liu Yifei in the eye.

This feeling had never occurred to him in his life, so much so that Chu Xuan subconsciously avoided eye contact with Liu Yifei and tilted his head towards the nanny car: "Going to change clothes? I brought them for you."

"Okay, Dad, Mom, I'll go change my clothes first." Liu Yifei said, put her hands back into her pockets, and walked towards the nanny car, passing Chu Xuan.

But in the moment when they passed each other, both of them couldn't help but look at each other at the same time.

When she met Chu Xuan's eyes, Liu Yifei immediately turned her head back and quickened her pace. However, the smile on her lips betrayed her accelerated heartbeat.

When Chu Xuan met Liu Yifei's eyes, he immediately looked away. The telepathy from his beloved made his heart beat fast and he was speechless.

This scene was captured by Liu Xiaoli and Wang Jinhua, and both of them smiled like aunties.

In the past, when the couple met, they would either hug or hold hands, but not like today, when they both put their hands in their pockets and ignored each other.

Are you nervous?

Are you shy?

The two parents were having so much fun, which is a rare occasion.

Under the gaze of everyone, Liu Yifei got on the nanny car. Lu Tao, the driver and bodyguard who had returned to Beijing after vacation, was waiting outside the door.

Liu Yifei found the white suit that Chu Xuan brought and came to a closed space.

Her heart was beating so fast that she could even feel it.

She looked up at the small mirror and found that her cheeks were flushed with pink, which represented nervousness, excitement and shyness.

She patted her chest, took a deep breath, and began to change her clothes.

Her thoughts became confused again, and the two little angels came out to make trouble again.

[The Black Angel said sternly: "Are you really going to walk into the grave? Do you know how many women in this world have ended up in a miserable failure because of this ignorant decision! Have you considered the consequences clearly? "

The white angel spoke in a fiery tone: "Don't scare me with the words about graves. Can't we be more festive during the New Year? Also, you only saw the tragic ending. There are also many couples who live happily ever after. Chu Xuan and I must be the latter!"

The Black Angel said contemptuously: "Many couples think like you before they get married, but more facts in this circle show that only a very small number of couples can truly live happily together until old age, so please face the reality!"

The white angel sneered: "No one can determine what reality must be like. You also said that there are people who live peacefully and grow old together. Even if they are only a very small number, then what's wrong with Chu Xuan and I being one of the very few?"

Liu Yifei buttoned the last button of her collar facing the mirror, and the confused thoughts in her mind disappeared.

She tidied her appearance, smiled at herself in the mirror, opened the door, walked out of the enclosed space, and got out of the nanny car.

"Let's go. It's nine o'clock and someone is working at the window." Liu Xiaoli waved.

Chu Xuan suppressed the throbbing in his heart, mustered up the courage to look at Liu Yifei who was walking towards him, and bent his left arm slightly, motioning Liu Yifei to take his arm.

Liu Yifei slightly bent her eyebrows, suppressed her inner excitement, raised her hand to hold Chu Xuan's arm, and walked towards the building lobby where the marriage registration office was located with everyone.

"She even dressed up." Chu Xuan made small talk.

"Well, do you feel honored?" Liu Yifei slid her hand, touched the hand on Chu Xuan's arm, and touched the hand beside Chu Xuan's trouser leg, and held their fingers tightly.

Chu Xuan held her hand tightly and said, "It's an honor."

The two were speechless until then, holding hands and following the crowd into the hall.

At the beginning of the new year, the Civil Affairs Bureau was open for business. There were few people coming to the main hall to do business, and the marriage registration office was a bit deserted.

Many people don’t know the office hours, nor do they know what specific procedures they should complete in advance. It is common to make several wasted trips. Looking around, it seems that the only couple who come to apply for certificates as soon as the office opens early in the morning is this couple.

There were very few people in the hall. Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei were the first visitors. This was what Liu Xiaoli and Ankang wanted. Otherwise, if they came later or in a few days given their celebrity status, it would definitely make news.

Liu Xiaoli thought that once the news of the couple getting married was announced, there would definitely be troublemakers who would use Xixi's nationality to criticize this good thing. Getting married during the Chinese New Year is a double happiness, so she shouldn't create some messy and unfounded gossip to affect the atmosphere.

Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei didn't care, but since their mother was kind enough to think about them, they just went along with it.

"Hello."

"you……"

The public official responded subconsciously, and when she looked closely, she realized that the people greeting her were Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei.

"Am I seeing things?" The civil servant blinked. After making sure she was not seeing things, she covered her mouth with her hands in disbelief: "Chu Xuan, Liu Yifei, are you here to get a marriage certificate?"

Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei looked at each other. They found the public official's gaffe somewhat amusing, so they turned back and nodded to her.

"Oh my God, the first business of the new year is you. Come on, come on, have you brought the documents?" The civil servant sat down at her post excitedly and put the freshly poured tea aside. She was thirsty and was in no hurry to drink the tea. She decided to take care of the first happy business of the new year first.

All the male and female public servants on duty nearby looked over here.

Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei came to get their marriage certificate, which was unexpected and joyful for them.

Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei handed the prepared documents into the window, including identity card, household registration booklet, certificate of non-marriage, marriage recognition certificate from the U.S. Consulate, proof of U.S. citizenship, etc. With the advance notice from Liu Xiaoli and Ankang, the couple presented all the prepared materials in detail.

The public official reviewed and confirmed the documents were correct while asking the couple some official questions.

Is your career stable?

Is your life healthy?

Such words were full of blessings, and the couple naturally responded with beautiful responses.

The public official finally asked, “Are you sure, then?”

Liu Yifei turned her head to look at Chu Xuan and exchanged glances with him.

The black angel said sternly: "Think carefully, if you take one step further, you will end up in the abyss! There will be no return for you!"

The white angel said righteously: "How do you know that the front is not a pure land? How do you know that the front is not heaven?"

Black Angel is disappointed: "Countless predecessors have given too many realities. The reality is that true love in the entertainment industry is weird!"

The white angel raised a finger and shook it left and right: "Don't attach other people's situations to Chu Xuan and me. They are them and we are us. You are obsessed."

"Sure." Liu Yifei and Chu Xuan said in unison.

The public official smiled and said, "Please wait a moment, we need to review it."

After submitting the application materials for the certificate, the government department needed to review them, so the couple sat in the hall with their family members and waited.

"After the review, the certificate will be made on the spot, and you will go to take the ID photo. Mom will help you with your hair. You tied it yourself, right?" Liu Xiaoli nagging, raising her hand to untie her daughter's slightly messy hair, combing her long hair, and then personally tied her daughter's hair into a bun.

Liu Yifei cooperated with her mother to fix her hairstyle, and turned sideways to face Chu Xuan. They looked at each other without saying a word but expressed their affection to each other. Ankang couldn't bear it and ran to the door to smoke, while the auntie smiles on Wang Jinhua, Su Chang and Ren Quan's faces never faded.

"Don't laugh. This day will come sooner or later, and then they will laugh at you." Wang Jinhua said to Su Chang and Ren Quan.

Chu Xuan turned his head, and Liu Yifei glanced at them, looking at the two of them with a teasing look.

Su Chang and Ren Quan were both amused and confused, and gave the couple a teasing look in return.

After chatting for a while, at ten o'clock in the morning, the public official came over with a happy look on his face: "Congratulations, you two can get the certificate now."

"Let's go." Liu Xiaoli stood up and Ankang also came over.

"We'll wait here." Wang Jinhua, Su Chang and Ren Quan were waiting in the hall.

As the three of them watched, a pair of parents and a young couple turned a corner and walked into another office area.

It only took a few minutes, and after paying some fees and completing the procedures for making the certificates, the couple came to the photo studio with a few words of blessing from the public officials.

The public official in charge of taking photos saw that it was Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei, the "national couple", who came to take their ID photos. He was also very interested and asked the couple to sit down.

The background of the photo studio was a red cloth. Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei sat down on the chairs in front of the red cloth.

The couple looked at each other, and ripples of emotion appeared in their hearts.

They each felt a little embarrassed and withdrew their gazes from each other, looking towards the camera, but they held hands tightly.

Liu Xiaoli and Ankang were watching from the side. For once, she took the initiative to speak to Ankang: "My daughter is happy."

Ankang folded his arms. Liu Xiaoli's words were undoubtedly meant to reassure him and to stop him from worrying about his daughter's marriage and feeling bad about it.

When Ankang saw the happiness in his daughter's eyes, a relieved smile appeared on his face. He accepted Liu Xiaoli's kind advice, nodded, and witnessed this important moment in his daughter's life with Liu Xiaoli.

"Come a little closer, shoulder to shoulder."

"Don't be shy. You can smile a little deeper and show some teeth, which will look better."

"Yes, that's it, keep it up."

"3."

"2."

"1."

"Click~"

The camera made a celebratory sound, recording another piece of happiness on the red background.

"Let me ask you one last time, are you ready to become a real couple?" At 11 o'clock in the morning, the last procedure for the marriage certificate was just a stamp away. The public official looked at the two newlyweds in front of him and asked a question at the last legal threshold.

[The Black Angel solemnly warned: "It's not too late for you to leave now. Don't step into this muddy quagmire and regret it for the rest of your life!"

The white angel shook his head slowly: "Whether it is a quagmire or a pure land, you have no say. The chaos in the circle does not represent a fixed number. Chu Xuan and I have the final say on how to go."

The Black Angel took a deep breath and said, "There is no such thing as true love in today's society. Anyone who comes and goes will eventually become the embodiment of interests. The so-called pure love and true love are all weird!"

The white angel soared into the sky and flew across the sky. A voice from the sky came: "Then Chu Xuan and I will be weird. As long as we do our best, who can stop us?"

"Are you ready?" Chu Xuan's voice came, and he looked at Liu Yifei with a smile.

Liu Yifei's thoughts suddenly became clear. She smiled back at Chu Xuan and said, "Would I still sit here if I wasn't ready?"

"Snapped!"

"Congratulations on your marriage."

Public officials stamped their seals and sent their congratulations.

Two marriage certificates represent that there is one more couple in the world.

Husband: Chu Xuan.

Wife: Liu Yifei.
