"..."
All of Mi Jing's anger was extinguished by his justifications. In fact, whether she liked him or not, they were already married. Not to mention kissing, even more intimate acts would be reasonable.
Understanding this, Mi Jing lost all her temper, "Sorry, it was too sudden just now, I couldn't adapt."
"It's okay, we have time and opportunities to adapt slowly." Shen Lingxing reached out and rubbed Mi Jing's short hair, with a touch of affection as if stroking a pet. Actually, he thought she looked quite pretty when she was angry, especially those sparkling eyes, as if they could speak, accusing him of his 'crimes'.
"..."
Mi Jing didn't know what to say. Thinking about living under the same roof with him and the inevitable intimate acts like what just happened, she couldn't help but feel her scalp tingle.
With her head lowered, Shen Lingxing could only see the top of her head. After a brief silence, he suddenly remembered the wedding, so he asked, "Any plans for the wedding? Do you want it to be Chinese or Western style?"
"I haven't had time to think about it yet." Mi Jing paused and asked, "Can we not have a wedding for now?"
"Sure."
"What about your family? Maybe we should ask their opinion first before deciding." Mi Jing naturally thought it would be best not to hold a wedding. After all, they didn't have feelings for each other, and holding a wedding would just be like putting on a show for others, which she didn't like. However, getting married is no small matter, so it's necessary to consider the family's opinion.
"We'll go with what you want. I'll communicate with my family." After saying that, Shen Lingxing checked his watch, "I have a surgery coming up, it's time for me to head back. See you tonight."
"Okay." Mi Jing nodded and then turned to walk to her car.
Soon, the two cars disappeared around the corner of the street, heading to different destinations.
On the way home, Mi Jing called Mi Wan, briefly told her about the marriage, and asked her to come home for dinner tonight to meet her brother-in-law.
After receiving Mi Jing's call, Mi Wan hurried back to her parents' house with her daughter, worried and flustered all the way, very shocked by the news.
But Mi Jing was fine, sleeping soundly in bed, which made Mi Wan, who was anxious about her matters, very upset and angry.
"Mi Jing, get up quickly! Explain everything honestly and clearly!" Mi Wan, exasperated, pulled the covers off and dragged Mi Jing out of bed.
Mi Jing, a light sleeper, woke up quickly due to Mi Wan's noise and tugging. She rubbed her eyes and looked up to see Mi Wan standing by the bed with her hands on her hips, glaring at her angrily, no longer appearing gentle and quiet as usual.
"Sis, since when did you become so violent?" Mi Jing lowered her eyes and muttered.
"If using violence can take back your flash marriage, I can be even more violent!" With that, Mi Wan knocked on Mi Jing's head, "What were you thinking? Marriage is not a joke!"
"I didn't think it was a joke." Mi Jing argued seriously, looking directly at Mi Wan.
"You didn't think it was a joke, yet you got married on a whim? Or, because I plan to divorce, you didn't want to add more worry to our parents, so you..." Mi Wan raised her voice, nearly on the verge of losing control.
"Shh..." Seeing Mi Wan getting more agitated, Mi Jing hurriedly reminded her, "Sis, keep your voice down, don't let mom and dad hear."
"You..." The usually eloquent Mi Wan was suddenly at a loss for words. She sat on the bed in frustration and said, "Now is not the time to talk about me. How do you plan to explain your flash marriage to our parents?"
"I'll tell them the truth." Mi Jing had already thought of what to say before her nap, just waiting for Mi Wan to come back so they could hold a family meeting.
Hearing this, Mi Wan stared deeply at Mi Jing for nearly a minute. After her emotional outburst, she gradually calmed down. It's often said that concern leads to confusion. Mi Jing held an extremely important position in her heart, even more than their parents. So when she found out about Mi Jing's impulsive decision, she lost her calm. She had once carefully chosen a 'good man' to marry, but she didn't get happiness from it. Now Mi Jing arbitrarily chose someone; could she be happy?
Of course, Mi Wan hoped she would be happy, but all the uncertainties made her worried.
"Sis, don't worry about it. Trust my judgment, I won't let myself suffer." Mi Jing put her arm around Mi Wan's shoulder and promised with a smile.
"..." Mi Wan didn't say anything. At this point, she could only trust Mi Jing's judgment.
Following Mi Wan out of the room, Mi Jing suddenly saw a small white figure quickly running to her feet. Noticing the movement below, Mi Jing looked down to see her long-unseen pet dog rubbing its head against her leg, whining and acting coy.
"Auntie, Kabi seems to miss you a lot!"
A pretty little girl chased the dog to Mi Jing's side. She picked up the dog and looked up at Mi Jing with pure joy on her innocent face.
"Really? Kabi seems to enjoy playing with Xuanxuan too." Mi Jing squatted down, patted the dog in her niece's arms, and smiled.
"Auntie, can Kabi keep playing with Xuanxuan?" Xuanxuan asked expectantly.
"Of course!"
This pet dog was Mi Jing's treasure, a gift from her cousin on her birthday two years ago. The dog had snow-white fur and big eyes like black agate, absolutely adorable and very likable. Before, Li Bao'er had asked to borrow the dog several times but never succeeded. Because Mi Jing's niece also loved the dog, it spent more than half of each month by her niece's side. Even Mi Jing hardly got to see the dog herself.
Initially, Mi Jing was reluctant to let the dog leave her, but she couldn't resist her niece's pleas, so she had to let it go.
Over time, Mi Jing got used to it too.
"Xuanxuan, Auntie has things to discuss with your grandparents. Take the dog to the balcony to play." Mi Wan advised from the side.
"Okay." Song Jinxuan agreed cheerfully and happily carried the dog to the balcony.
In the living room, Mi Jing stood in front of her parents and sister, separated by the coffee table. Facing their gazes, Mi Jing remained calm, unhurriedly took out the freshly obtained marriage certificate from her coat pocket.
"Mom, Dad, take a look at this." While speaking, Mi Jing bent over to hand the marriage certificate to Mi Zhihong and Fang Qingru.
The two elders looked at Mi Jing questioningly, then took the marriage certificate with puzzled expressions. Opening it, they were both shocked and stunned.
"Mom, Dad, please stay calm and listen to me explain everything." Observing the changes in their expressions, Mi Jing said while trying to soothe them.
