The Villainess’s Darling [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 78

National Day soon arrived. On the morning of October 2nd, Ning Xiao and Yun Can’er went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to line up. Many people choose to get married during the National Day holiday week, and it wasn’t until after ten o’clock that they finally received their marriage certificate.

Watching the official seal descend, Yun Can’er clutched her chest and breathed a sigh of relief. She turned to Ning Xiao and said, “From now on, you are mine.”

Ning Xiao smiled. “I was yours before, too. I’ve always been yours.”

The staff at the Civil Affairs Bureau were used to such scenes. After stamping the documents, they handed the marriage certificates to the two with congratulatory smiles. “Congratulations to you both. From this moment on, you are legal partners.”

Yun Can’er’s eyes crinkled into crescent moons. “Thank you~”

Walking out of the bureau, the two put on masks and sunglasses, returning to the car discreetly.

As soon as she got in, Yun Can’er couldn’t wait. She pulled out her phone, spread their marriage certificates across her lap, and started taking photos. After satisfiedly tucking the two little red books away, she asked Ning Xiao, “Can I tell Qiqi about us getting married?”

Lu Qiqi was the only friend Yun Can’er truly trusted.

Ning Xiao replied, “Of course you can.”

Yun Can’er asked curiously, “Do you have anyone you want to tell?”

The original “Ning Xiao” had a mediocre relationship with the Ning family; she had essentially been sold by them to Yun Boyuan. Since the fake marriage with him, she hadn’t contacted the Nings at all. Ning Xiao had no intention of claiming a group of useless relatives for herself.

After thinking it over, she said, “Yang Yuanqi, I suppose.”

Yang Yuanqi had done a good job as a special assistant. Yun Can’er could continue to use him after she took over the Yun Group. Telling him about the marriage now was a way of treating him as one of their own; he would be more than happy.

Ning Xiao drove toward the company. On the way, Yun Can’er called Lu Qiqi.

“Hello, Qiqi.”

Lu Qiqi whispered, “I’m in the living room and there are too many people. Wait until I get back to my bedroom…” She then covered the phone.

A dozen seconds later, Lu Qiqi’s clear voice came through: “Why are you calling me instead of taking advantage of the holiday to go on a date with Ning Xiao?”

Lu Qiqi had already accepted the fact that Yun Can’er and Ning Xiao were in a relationship, and her tone was full of teasing.

Yun Can’er said shyly yet happily, “A big event happened today. Qiqi, you’re my best friend, so I’m only telling you.”

Lu Qiqi was instantly delighted. “You didn’t even tell Ning Xiao, only me?”

Yun Can’er replied, “It’s about me and Ningning, so she was involved~”

Lu Qiqi said, “I knew it, you’re just here to show off. Tomorrow I’ll find a partner and show off to you every day, let’s see who’s sweeter.”

Yun Can’er: “Find one first, then we’ll talk. I’m going to say something serious now, don’t let it scare you.”

Lu Qiqi said, “Don’t worry, I’ve got plenty of courage.”

“Ningning and I registered our marriage.”

Yun Can’er dropped the bombshell, leaving Lu Qiqi completely disoriented.

“What did you say?” Lu Qiqi thought she had misheard.

“We registered and got married. Ningning and I are now legal partners!” Yun Can’er repeated with a laugh.

Lu Qiqi nearly lost her breath. “!!!”

“Wait! Let me process this!” With that, she hung up the phone.

Ning Xiao asked, “How was it? Did Lu Qiqi have a big reaction?”

Yun Can’er replied, “She said she needs to process it.”

Just as she finished speaking, Lu Qiqi called back.

Yun Can’er answered, and Lu Qiqi said, “I’ve processed it”

Yun Can’er: “That fast?!”

Lu Qiqi: “Uh-huh… Happy wedding to you and Ning Xiao.”

Yun Can’er’s smile immediately turned as bright as summer sunshine. “Thank you. This is the first blessing I’ve received~”

Lu Qiqi paused. Given the situation between Yun Can’er and Ning Xiao, she didn’t know how many years it would be before they could publicly announce the news. “Happy wedding, happy wedding, happy wedding… Now you have many, many blessings.”

Yun Can’er said touchingly, “Qiqi, I’ve received all your blessings. Let’s go shopping together tomorrow!”

Lu Qiqi: “You two are newlyweds, how could I be so bold as to… where are we going?”

Yun Can’er giggled. “Haihe Mall.”

“Okay, no problem.”

Yun Can’er hung up and said happily to Ning Xiao, “Qiqi is so good.” After that, remembering Ning Xiao didn’t have friends, she added immediately, “You have me, and that’s enough. I am your friend and your lover!”

Ning Xiao stopped at a red light, turned with a smile, and said, “You are also my heart, my baby. I can’t go anywhere without you.”

Yun Can’er covered her flushing cheeks. “Why are you suddenly saying such sweet things? That’s foul play.”

She really wanted to kiss Ningning right now!

Ning Xiao read her mind and said, “Once we get to the office, you can kiss for as long as you want.”

Yun Can’er lowered her hands, her eyes sparkling. “You mean it?”

Ning Xiao confirmed, “I mean it.”

Yun Can’er: “I want to kiss for an hour!”

“…You have grand ambitions,” Ning Xiao said. “I don’t mind, as long as you aren’t afraid of your lips swelling.”

Upon arriving at the company, Ning Xiao entered the CEO’s office while Yun Can’er went to the R&D department to get some documents.

Yang Yuanqi knocked and entered. Seeing Yun Can’er wasn’t there, he kept his head down and didn’t pry, simply reporting the afternoon’s schedule to Ning Xiao.

Once he finished, Ning Xiao said out of the blue, “Can’er and I have registered our marriage.”

Yang Yuanqi looked up in confusion, clearly not reacting to what she had just said.

Ning Xiao continued, “You are the only one in the company who knows about this. Don’t tell anyone for the time being. Alright, you may go back now.”

Yang Yuanqi nodded blankly and walked out of the office, happening to run into Yun Can’er returning with the documents.

Yun Can’er greeted him with a brilliant smile. “Hello, Assistant Yang.”

Yang Yuanqi looked dazed. “Hello.”

Only after Yun Can’er entered the office did Yang Yuanqi finally snap out of it.

What did he just hear?! President Ning said she and Yun Can’er had registered their marriage!!!! Registered! Married!

Thinking about how Ning Xiao said he was the only person she told, Yang Yuanqi felt a surge of warmth in his chest. How much must President Ning trust him to tell him this? He would not disappoint her expectations; he would keep the secret well!!!

Yang Yuanqi went back to work with high spirits.

Half an hour later, he returned with documents for Ning Xiao to sign. He knocked carefully and waited for her to say “Enter” before pushing the door open. He walked straight to Ning Xiao without looking aside. “President Ning.”

Ning Xiao didn’t look at the files. She leaned back in her chair and looked at him. “Assistant Yang, have you been in contact with Zhuang Yuzhen lately?”

Thinking Ning Xiao suspected him of leaking secrets, Yang Yuanqi said hurriedly, “Rest assured, President Ning, I stopped paying attention to Zhuang Yuzhen long ago!”

Between his job and Zhuang Yuzhen, Yang Yuanqi would obviously choose his job!

Ning Xiao said, “There’s no need to cut ties completely. Zhuang Yuzhen hasn’t given up on me and keeps pestering me. I’ve been thinking—Assistant Yang, why don’t you ‘accidentally’ leak the news of my marriage to Can’er to him? Let him give up completely to save me future trouble. What do you think?”

Yang Yuanqi immediately nodded. “President Ning, leave it to me. I’ll handle it perfectly for you!”

Ning Xiao nodded with satisfaction. “I’ve always been confident in your work.”

Yang Yuanqi left the CEO’s office. Back in his own office, he sat down, composed himself, and sent a WeChat message to Zhuang Yuzhen.

Take a Nap: Yuzhen, how have you been lately?

On the other end, Zhuang Yuzhen received the message and studied it for a long time, unsure if he should reply. He looked at their chat history; the last message was from a month ago, and they hadn’t spoken a word since.

His memory of Yang Yuanqi was faint, only that he was a college classmate. He didn’t know why they had lost touch, but they hadn’t spoken since. It was possible that, like this time, the month-long silence would stretch into infinity, and they would never cross paths again, just like in his previous life.

Zhuang Yuzhen should have ignored him, but Yang Yuanqi was still Ning Xiao’s special assistant. Since learning she was dating Yun Can’er, he hadn’t seen Ning Xiao or proactively asked about her. With Yang Yuanqi coming to him, Zhuang Yuzhen couldn’t bear not to ask about her.

After five minutes of agonizing, he replied coldly: “Hm.”

Take a Nap: Come on man, are you still mad at me? I’m President Ning’s assistant and you’re pursuing her; I had to keep my distance to keep my job.

Brace Up: Why stop keeping it now?

Take a Nap: I just missed you, man. You didn’t forget our brotherhood, did you?

Brace Up: No…

Yang Yuanqi: By the way, I accidentally overheard something from President Ning today. I felt I had to tell you.

Zhuang Yuzhen’s heart leaped.

Brace Up: What is it?

Take a Nap: President Ning and Yun Can’er registered their marriage! Just this morning!

Snap! Zhuang Yuzhen crushed the fountain pen in his hand. His palm was cut, and blood instantly welled up. He seemed not to feel it, gritting his teeth as he sent a voice message.

“What’s going on? Why would they suddenly get married?!”

Take a Nap: I don’t know the specifics. I overheard it. President Ning hasn’t planned on going public yet. I only told you because I trust you. Don’t tell anyone else.

Brace Up: Heh!

Zhuang Yuzhen forced out a “Heh” despite a splitting headache. It felt like a hundred birds were chirping in his head, a piercing roar.

“Married… Ha! Married!” Zhuang Yuzhen managed to say through gritted teeth before his vision went black and he fainted.
