Lu Jinnian took in her actions, and even though he remained expressionless, his face turned tender and loving . He started the engine, heading onto the road .  

Qiao Anhao lowered her head, carefully arranging the doc.u.ments and photographs with seriousness, before finally raising the two red marriage certificates . Turning, she pa.s.sed Lu Jinnian's certificate over to him .  "Here's yours . " 

Lu Jinnian turned his head slightly while keeping his focus on the road . When he saw the words "Marriage Certificate" imprinted on the cover page of the red book, he suddenly realized that both of their names would be together now . Abruptly, the steering wheel steered sideways, slightly out of control, but quickly, Lu Jinnian stabilized the car and calmly reached over to grab the red book .  

Only after holding it in his hands for a long while was he willing to put it aside into his pocket . Even though the red book didn't hold much warmth, he could still feel a hint of heat through the thin pocket fabric separating it from his skin .  

When they hit a red light, Lu Jinnian glanced at Qiao Anhao through the rear view mirror: she was studying the red book intently .  

The faint glow from the sunset fell onto her face, coloring it with a faint reddish shade . Her long lashes were lowered, her lips curled into a slight smile .  

Lu Jinnian was mesmerized just then, but the continuous honking from the cars behind him snapped him back to reality . He turned his attention back to the road .  Even though his features were soft and tender, he spoke coldly .  "Which house do you like?" 

"Uh?" Qiao Anhao asked in confusion as she lifted her head .  

"Do you intend for us to stay separately on the first day of our marriage?" 

"Uhh . . . " Qiao Anhao frowned, seemingly unclear of the meaning before suddenly realizing what he had meant . Tilting her head to the side, she thought for a while . "Mian Xiu Garden . "

That mansion in Mian Xiu Garden held many of their memories, and even after she had left, he still maintained everything as though they were still living together .  

Hence, after they got married now, she wished for Mian Xiu Garden to be their home .  

After she replied, she realized that she had sounded too resolute so she added, "Can we?" 

Without replying to her question, he said,"After such a long flight, you must be tired . After dinner, we'll go back to rest . I'll help you move your things tomorrow . " 

He seemed to be agreeable .  

After dinner, they returned to Mian Xiu Garden . While Qiao Anhao showered, Lu Jinnian headed to the study room . Out of habit, he lit a cigarette . After just a few puffs, he reached for the red book in his pocket .  

He stared at the cover page for a long while before flipping it open to look at the photo of himself and Qiao Anhao .  

She was smiling sweetly, her eyes curved into crescents . He clearly remembered that he was emotionless at that time, but in the photo there was a hint of a smile on his lips .  

After a long while, he glanced down at their names .  

Lu Jinnian .

Qiao Anhao .
