Chapter 203
The area of Heitu Town was clearly visible from high altitude, mostly green, with shades of green interspersed with occasional red dots, which were the sanda fruits on the trees. Although Ye Zhi hadn’t been here for long, he unexpectedly felt a sense of reluctance to leave.
Huo Youqiao probably sensed his thoughts and leaned over, whispering, “If you ever want to come back, I’ll bring you here again to play.”
Ye Zhi whispered back, “I’ll miss them.” Even though Hui and Yu weren’t his biological parents, they had given him more care and attention than biological parents ever could. Hui would cook nutritious soups for him and make clothes for his baby, while Yu would keenly perceive his emotions and console him with casual words, also teaching him a lot about pregnancy and childbirth. Lele was a smart and enthusiastic little girl who always stayed by his side at home, telling him interesting stories from school and taking him for walks in the mountains.
And Qing Qing was his best friend.
Huo Youqiao said, “We’ll see them again soon.”
Still caught up in his sadness, Ye Zhi didn’t really register this statement.
The plane flew for a day and a night, stopping at a certain airport midway to refuel. When they arrived in the central city, it was approaching dawn. Coincidentally, they witnessed the first rays of sunlight rising from the horizon, golden and dazzling, driving away the darkness in the sky and covering the earth with warm colors in a short time.
“Is it snowing?” Although he had slowly noticed that the weather was getting colder, Ye Zhi didn’t feel it too heavily because the airplane had a temperature control system. It wasn’t until now, when the plane landed and he saw the accumulated snow on the ground, that he realized it.
Having spent some time in warm places, he only now remembered that it was winter in the central city.
“Yeah, it snowed early this morning, but today the sun is out, so it’s a good weather,” Huo Youqiao held his hand, smiling gently. “Today’s a good day.”
Ye Zhi’s heart was still in turmoil, and Huo Youqiao’s words left him feeling a bit dazed. Huo Youqiao then made things clearer, “It’s a good day for getting married.”
His heart skipped a beat, and Ye Zhi’s breathing became erratic, his expression showing signs of panic. Huo Youqiao wasn’t in a hurry, nor was he angry at his reaction; he just accompanied him gently, preparing some comforting words.
In case Ye Zhi wanted to refuse.
However, Ye Zhi was just flustered, and slowly the panic subsided, and then he nodded, “Yes.”
Huo Youqiao was somewhat surprised, but more than that, he was delighted.
Lin Xiuming came to pick them up at the airport in a large nanny van, spacious enough for changing clothes or holding a small meeting in the back seat. Bringing such a large car was indeed to provide them with a place to change clothes.
One set was a custom-made suit, black, exuding a sense of steadiness and dignity. Every inch of the fabric and every stitch were exquisite, perfectly fitting Huo Youqiao’s figure. The other set was a men’s evening dress, with the pants modified to accommodate his belly. The top was a loose-fitting shirt in white, made of soft and comfortable material, with a built-in tie at the collar.
Huo Youqiao helped Ye Zhi change his clothes first, buttoning up the shirt for him and skillfully tying the knot at the collar into a bow, slightly more intricate than a regular bow tie. Then he put a dark Hui coat on him.
“I wanted to get the same clothes made for you, but it’s not easy to wear when you’re pregnant, so only the shoes are the same style.” Huo Youqiao made him sit in a chair and knelt down to change his shoes for him.
Ye Zhi wasn’t used to being served like this for the first time, but he couldn’t help but feel a warm current flowing in his heart. He asked, “Are we going to the registration office?”
There were two ways to obtain a marriage certificate in the central city: either go to the marriage bureau or apply online. When he married Huo Youqiao before, they chose the second option, and they also chose the second option when they divorced.
“Of course,” Huo Youqiao replied.
He then changed his clothes in front of Ye Zhi, with swift and decisive movements. The precious clothes looked even more luxurious on him, and his whole demeanor became even more elegant and noble. He also changed his watch, a limited edition piece from a certain brand, with a green dial that looked very beautiful. He also prepared one for Ye Zhi, equally expensive, a women’s model from the same brand. Huo Youqiao explained, “I bought you the women’s model because your wrists are slender and you can’t wear the men’s model.”
Ye Zhi didn’t refuse and obediently extended his wrist for him to put it on.
