Chapter 759 I Promise I Won’t Run Away
An Xia and Bai Jingshu stayed at Lu Qingying's house for one night. The next morning, after having breakfast, they were ready to drive back to Jingcheng City.
Before leaving, Lu Qingying gave An Xia a hug and sincerely thanked her.
Then, she turned to Bai Jingshu and added, "You can tell me if you come across any problems. Maybe I can help you with something."
The Bai family blamed her for a long time after Bai Mingxu divorced.
Perhaps in their eyes, Bai Mingxu's extramarital affair was indeed wrong, but it wasn't a major fault. They thought that she should pretend that nothing had happened and continue to live with Bai Mingxu as long as they apologized and persuaded her. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
But Lu Qingying couldn't do that. She had been told what to do by others her whole life. Since she hadn't done anything wrong, she didn't want to give up on herself and compromise.
After she left the Bai family, they didn't let her see Bai Yunan and Bai Jingshu for a long time.
Even though she felt guilty toward them, she didn't regret her decision.
Something went off in Bai Jingshu's mind then, and he immediately understood the meaning behind Lu Qingying's words.
From what he remembered, Lu Qingying hadn't set foot in the Bai family since she divorced Bai
Mingxu.
And this time, she was saying that she would step in to resolve the conflict if the Bai family insisted on not accepting An Xia.
Bai Jingshu still felt his heart waver.
He resented Lu Qingying when he was young. However, as he grew older, he gradually began to understand her feelings.
"Okay." Bai Jingshu smiled, his expression somewhat similar to Lu Qingying's. He said again, "Mom, you've done enough for me. Thank you."
Startled at first, Lu Qingying soon had tears on her cheeks.
...
On the way back, An Xia asked Bai Jingshu, "Did you hate your mother when you were younger?"
"Of course I did." Bai Jingshu smirked with a hint of mockery in his smile. "Especially when I was a teenager. I thought she didn't love me. I thought she wasn't worthy of being a mother because of how selfish she was."
But An Xia couldn't laugh. After a moment of silence, she commented, "The most despicable person is your father. He clearly had a woman he deeply loved, yet he still married your mom. And because he didn't dare to resist, he ended up betraying two women."
There was a trace of anger in her tone as her expression turned cold. She looked infuriated with her fists clenched on her lap.
Bai Jingshu couldn't help but laugh at her appearance. He reached out and caressed her on the head. "Why are you so mad?"
An Xia was dying to say that all scumbags deserved to be condemned, but when she thought that it was Bai Jingshu's biological father, she swallowed those words.
Instead, she turned her head and warned him, "If you dare to do something like that in the future, I'll chop you up and feed you to the dogs!"
Bai Jingshu snorted coldly. "I think you're more likely to do something like that!"
"Says who?!An Xia glared at him.
"Don't believe me?" Bai Jingshu raised an eyebrow. "How about you marry me and see?"
Bai Jingshu changed the topic so quickly that the confused An Xia could only sputter, "What?"
...
Three hours later, the car stopped at the Civil Affairs Bureau in Jingcheng City.
Bai Jingshu then got out of the car and opened the door for An Xia. Looking at her perplexed expression, he urged, "Come on out."
An Xia not only didn't get out of the car, but she also shrank back inside. She frowned and looked at Bai Jingshu. "Why are we here?"
Bai Jingshu patiently asked in return "What can you do at the Civil Affairs Bureau?"
"Get married!" An Xia obediently replied.
"So..."
"So why are we here? We are not getting married, are we?" An Xia looked befuddled.
Bai Jingshu's patience finally ran out. Without missing a beat, he bent down and carried An Xia out of the car before they headed to the Civil Affairs Bureau.
Only then did An Xia realize that Bai Jingshu was serious.
She struggled to get down.
"Bai Jingshu, you need to calm down. Even if you want to get married, we don't have our ID cards!"
"Don't worry about that."
An Xia continued, "Today is—"
"It's Monday, a working day. That's right."
An Xia didn't know what else to say.
The two of them had already entered the hall by now. An Xia noticed that people around them were staring at them.
She felt embarrassed and whispered to Bai Jingshu, "Let me down quickly!"
This was so embarrassing!
"No." Bai Jingshu had thick skin and a determined attitude.
An Xia quickly reassured him, "I promise I won't run."
Bai Jingshu finally stopped and gave her a peck before letting her down. "You should have said so earlier."
Once An Xia was on the ground, she reached out and pinched his arm.
Bai Jingshu acted as if he didn't feel any pain as he held her hand, leading her to join the queue with a cheerful expression. "Hurry up. It's not too crowded now. Let's queue up first."
An Xia was being pulled by him to join the queue.
When it was her turn, Bai Jingshu magically pulled out two ID cards from somewhere.
An Xia stared at him in astonishment. "Where did you get it?"
"Your ID card, you mean?" Bai Jingshu waved the ID cards and explained, "I took them from your bag before we came to Jingcheng."
Only then did An Xia remember that she had brought her ID card with her when she came home. She had planned to apply for a travel permit, but she didn't expect Bai Jingshu to find it.
"How did you find mine?"
"As long as someone is attentive, there's nothing they can't find."
Bai Jingshu smiled smugly. His hands were trembling with excitement as he filled out the forms.
An Xia glared at him. "You fox! You brought me to Jingcheng just to trick me into getting a marriage certificate?"
"You can say that." Bai Jingshu didn't even lift his head. When he saw that An Xia hadn't started writing yet after he filled out his form, he reached out to take hers. "You're so slow. I'll fill it out for you."
As he spoke, he took the form in front of An Xia.
"Hey, you..." An Xia wanted to take it back, but when she saw how afraid Bai Jingshu was that she would change her mind and run away, she softened and didn't say anything.
She didn't expect that Bai Jingshu had already made up his mind to marry her when he brought her to Jingcheng.
She thought that with Bai Jingshu's personality, he wouldn't want to get married so quickly.
After Bai Jingshu filled out the form for her, he handed her the pen again. "Quickly, sign your name in the declarant section."
An Xia looked at Bai Jingshu's anxious appearance and suppressed her smile as she signed her name.
Until the marriage certificate was in her hands, An Xia still felt like it was unreal.
Get married? To Bai Jingshu?
Sh*t, what about the wedding?
Happily, Bai Jingshu put away the marriage certificate and held An Xia's hand with a smile. "Let's go home, my wife."
An Xia immediately pulled her hand back, snorted, and walked ahead.
As she walked, she shook her head and sighed.
How did she easily get a marriage certificate with Bai Jingshu?
There was no proposal or ring. And he hadn't even met her parents!
She didn't know if her parents would reject Bai Jingshu when they met him.
Thinking of this, she started to feel a little sorry for Bai Jingshu.
Bai Jingshu, who caught up to her from behind, stubbornly held her hand. Their fingers were tightly intertwined as if they couldn't be separated no matter how hard they tried.
"Dear, let's have Aunt Liu cook something delicious for you when we get home."
