Sang Yu looked at Shen Peichuan before shifting her gaze towards the director sitting in front of him.
That’s gotta be the guy who was interrogating Shen Peichuan!
“Is there a law that forbids university students from getting married?” she questioned him.
“N-No…”
“Is there a law that forbids those with a huge age gap from marrying each other?”
“No…”
“Is there a law that forbids a civil servant from marrying a university student?” Sang Yu pressed on.
The director cleared his throat. “No… As long as both individuals are of legal age and consent to the marriage, no one else but their parents are allowed to interfere.”
Sang Yu pulled out her marriage certificate and waved it in front of him. “So, is it illegal for Shen Peichuan and I to get married? Huh?”
The director was speechless by her sudden outburst.
“Calm down, Sang Yu.” Shen Peichuan walked over and tugged at her arm.
“How can I remain calm? They have no right to arrest you! You’re putting your life on the line every day for your job, and this is what you get in return?” Sang Yu remembered the nasty things they said when they took him away earlier.
Sang Yu pointed at the director. “How is it a misconduct for him to marry me? Are you saying he doesn’t have the right to get married?”
The director smiled. “My apologies. We only brought Deputy Chief Shen over to ask him some questions, and he has already answered them.”
He then handed her Shen Peichuan’s marriage certificate and said, “Here, see? We’ve already confirmed that you are a legally married couple, so this isn’t a misconduct.”
Sang Yu looked at the marriage certificate and blushed when she realized he had already explained everything.
Oh, my god! I just said all that for nothing! How embarrassing…
Shen Peichuan handed her the marriage certificate. “Here, you can hold on to mine too.”
Sang Yu lowered her head in shame.
The director smiled. “I’m amazed at how you’re willing to go all out for your husband!”
Shen Peichuan put his arm around her shoulder. “She’s just a little frightened as this is all new to her…”
“Haha! She seems pretty brave to me!”
“I panicked because I didn’t want to get him in trouble…” Sang Yu said.
“Don’t forget to invite me to your wedding!” The director reached out and shook Shen Peichuan’s hand.
“Will do.”
The two then left the Prosecutors’ Office after a brief exchange.
Sang Yu held his hand tightly. “I was so scared!”
“It’s alright now,” Shen Peichuan comforted her.
He knew she was worried about him, but he didn’t expect her to come by so quickly.
Su Zhan snorted when he saw them being all lovey-dovey. “Hey! Are you lovebirds gonna get in or not?” He asked while getting into his car.
“Of course we are! I didn’t drive here, you know?”
“Shen Peichuan, I can’t believe you stole her heart without any of us realizing!” Su Zhan exclaimed.
Sang Yu giggled. “Actually, I’m the one who stole his heart.”
Su Zhan pouted. “You mustn’t spoil your man or you’ll regret it later on!”
“I’ll spoil my man all I want, and I’ll deal with the consequences myself,” Sang Yu said.
She simply liked Shen Peichuan too much not to spoil him.
Heh, your little sabotage attempt has failed, Su Zhan! I bet you must be feeling so jealous now that you’re single while I’ve got myself a sweetheart!
Shen Peichuan thought to himself as he watched on.
“It’s said that women turn into idiots when they’re dating someone. Looks like that statement holds true, after all!” Su Zhan said while starting the car.
“I’m not dating anyone! I’m already married, remember?” Sang Yu said with a chuckle.
“Get out of my car, both of you!” Su Zhan couldn’t help but sigh at how sad his love life was.
I found myself a lover before Shen Peichuan did, so how did he end up being the happier one? What did I do in my past life to deserve this?
Both Sang Yu and Shen Peichuan knew what he was thinking and burst into laughter.
“Stop laughing or I’ll kick you two out right now!” Su Zhan pretended to be mad at them.
Shen Peichuan simply shot him a nonchalant glance and said, “Excessive jealousy is bad for your health, you know?”
Su Zhan snorted in response.
As if that even makes a difference for me… With how stressful my life is right now, I’d be surprised if I don’t die young!
“Your stupidity is partly to blame, you know? You could just lie to your grandma and secretly adopt a child after marrying Qin Ya,” Shen Peichuan said.
“Easier said than done!” Su Zhan had actually thought of that idea before. “I know my grandma very well. All she wants is grandchildren of her own, and she’d be pestering Qin Ya every day for it! You think Qin Ya would be able to put up with that?”
Shen Peichuan agreed. Qin Ya is infertile, so Grandma Su’s constant nagging would stress her out.
“Telling her the truth won’t end well for you, though,” Shen Peichuan reminded him.
“If the easy way doesn’t work, I’ll do it the hard way!”
“What do you mean the hard way? I doubt there’s anyone harder than Grandma Su!”
“I’ll threaten her with my life! That ought to soften her up!”
Shen Peichuan raised his thumb in approval. “That’s my man!”
Su Zhan glared at him from the rear-view mirror. “Piss off! I don’t need your sarcasm!”
“Oh, you could tell?” Shen Peichuan laughed.
