Chapter 200: Registering the Marriage
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
When the topic suddenly turned to their marriage, Lin Xiaowan stammered, “W-wedding? We’ve not planned anything yet, right? You haven’t mentioned anything to me at least…”
Huo Zheng smiled. “It’s only natural to get married after 1 officially proposed to you. Previously, I didn’t know what you were thinking. 1 thought that if you didn’t want to get married, I’d give the jewelry to you as a birthday present.”
Lin Xiaowan asked curiously, “Why did you think 1 didn’t want to marry you?”
Huo Zheng hesitated briefly before he replied, “A long time ago, you said that you didn’t want to get married.”
Lin Xiaowan could not remember if she had said such a thing, and she still could not recall it after thinking about it for a long time. In the end, she decided that Huo Zheng was making things up. She refused to admit that she had once said she did not want to get married.
“You must have remembered wrongly.”
“Alright, then I remembered wrongly,” Huo Zheng said easily. This did not matter to him. After all, the most important thing is that Lin Xiaowan had agreed to marry him.
After a brief moment, he asked again, “So what were you doing at the door of the study?”
With this, Lin Xiaowan recalled the video. She told him about it and showed him the comments.
Huo Zheng was not unhappy at all. Just as Gu Yuwu had said, he was quite happy to be recognized.
During dinner, the Huo Corporation’s official account reposted the video and confirmed the netizen’s speculation.
[The couple in the video is indeed our boss and lady boss. As for the drone show, there was no error. The two children are the children of Eldest Master Huo and Miss Qiao You’an. Three years ago, our lady boss found the two lost children in the amusement park. That was how she met our boss.
P.S.: Last night was indeed a marriage proposal, and it was a success.]
The next day.
Lin Xiaowan followed Huo Zheng to the company. When they entered his office, he took a thick folder out of the drawer, showing all kinds of jewelry designs and gemstone cutting designs.
Huo Zheng held Lin Xiaowan in his arms as he flipped through the pages for her to see.
There were all kinds of designs and gemstones of different colors. Some of them detailed the cut, color, and quality of the gemstones. Some pages had a big X on them, indicating that the designs had been rejected.
“1 have no eye for jewelry design so I left it to a few designers.”
Lin Xiaowan flipped through the pages. She was even more clueless about such things. She could only say whether they looked good or not. After looking through, she did not find any design that did not look good. Even the ones that Huo Zheng rejected still looked exquisite in her eyes.
“Qingqing, is there any that you like?” Huo Zheng asked before he slowly explained, “This set is created by an up-and-coming designer. His designs are very unique. As for this one, it’s designed by a well-established and famous designer. This one… It was designed by a foreign designer. He pays attention to the details, and his designs are exquisite…”
Lin Xiaowan had difficulty choosing. All of them looked good, and she could not make up her mind at ail. Finally, she said jokingly, “It’s too difficult to make a choice. Why can’t I have everything?”
Huo Zheng smiled. “You can have everything if you want. They were originally for you. However, you have to choose the one you like the most for our wedding. As for the others, they’ll be made into everyday jewelry for you…”
Lin Xiaowan thought about it for a moment before she said, “Then, why don’t we choose the most expensive one? Which one is the most expensive one?”
Huo Zheng was not sure as well. “The emerald and ruby one should be the most expensive.”
Huo Zheng was not present when he acquired the gemstones. After all, the auctions were held all around the world. As such, it was only normal that he did not know much about the gemstones.
Lin Xiaowan was not very interested in the emerald. “Why don’t we go with the ruby set? I don’t think emerald suits me. 1 think it’s more suitable for Sister-in-law.”
The emerald’s dark color was not very suitable for Lin Xiaowan’s youthful and lively aura. It suited someone with experience and elegance.
In fact, Huo Zheng had emphasized to the designers that his wife was young, and he did not want designs that were too complicated.
Lin Xiaowan said, “This is good. When the time comes, Sister-in-law can wear the emerald, and I’ll wear the ruby. It’ll look quite matching!”
Huo Zheng laughed. “You’re getting married to me. Why are you trying to match with Sister-in-law?”
Lin Xiaowan did not expect him to say this. She replied teasingly, “Oh, then you should have the emerald. When the time comes, why don’t you wear a pair of emerald earrings and a necklace to match mine?”
Huo Zheng coughed and said. “The emerald is indeed a good gift for Sister-in-law.”
Then, he asked, “What about the design?”
Lin Xiaowan was conflicted. “All of them look good. 1 can’t make up my mind at all.”
It did not matter if Lin Xiaowan could not make up her mind. Huo Zheng showed the ruby to a few people and asked them to hand in drafts of their designs again. In any case, the wedding was not happening so soon so he had plenty of time to decide.
If it were not for the fact that Huo Zheng was paying them a lot, the designers would have thrown the drafts that had been amended countless times in Huo Zheng’s face.
Huo Zheng was incredibly hard to please. However, the designers also knew that it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to create a piece of art using a top-grade gemstone. If their design was chosen, it would be a big deal. For this reason, all of them worked very hard.
After a few days, Huo Zheng finally chose a design that he was satisfied with. Lin Xiaowan liked the design too. The design was from a young designer who was quite famous domestically.
Now that this problem had been solved, Huo Zheng began to think of other things.
After dinner, Lin Xiaowan was watching a variety show on the couch.
Huo Zheng was reading the news on his table as he peeled nuts and placed them on a small plate in front of Lin Xiaowan. When there was an intermission, he stopped what he was doing, leaned over, and pulled her into his arms.
“What’s wrong?” Lin Xiaowan asked, puzzled.
Huo Zheng held Lin Xiaowan’s hand, which was the one where she wore a ring, and kissed it. Then, he asked, sounding slightly aggrieved, “You’ve already accepted the ring. When do you plan to register our marriage? Don’t you want to marry me?”
Lin Xiaowan laughed. Her mind was still on the variety show so she replied casually, “1 didn’t say 1 don’t want to marry you. Why did you say such a thing? You didn’t mention this matter as well…”
“Okay. Then let’s go to the Civil Affairs Bureau tomorrow.”
Lin Xiaowan nodded before she reacted.. “Huh? What?”
