Chapter 1481 Get Married Tomorrow
While Deng Fan was busy in the workshop, Xia He stood outside and kept sneaking glances inside. This was the first time she had seen Deng Fan at work as an architect.
Back when he was in the art troupe, Deng Fan was neither eye-catching nor outstanding. It would not be too much to say that he was just mediocre and he did not have any strengths. If not for Xia He, he would have left the troupe long ago and would not have waited until now. Now that Deng Fan was working in his area of expertise, he shone with confidence, making one unable to take their eyes off him.
"How is it? Do you think Big Brother Deng is amazing? Do you find him especially handsome!" Qiao Mei asked with a smile.
"I've always felt that he's very capable!" Xia He said proudly.
Qiao Mei leaned over and whispered into Xia He's ear, "Since you're so satisfied, why don't you hurry up and get married to Big Brother Deng. There are many female workers in the factory and most of them are young girls. I heard from my mother that many girls have fallen for Big Brother Deng recently. There are even people who asked my mother about Big Brother Deng's family background. If you don't hurry up, you will allow other people to take advantage of the situation!"
"I… I'm not afraid! Deng Fan won't abandon me for another woman. Besides, are those women as beautiful as me? Are they more capable than me?" Xia He said with a guilty conscience.
"But they are young, all 18-year-old girls! All of them are beautiful and charming at this age. There's a saying that goes, 'A chaste woman is most afraid of a persistent man'. It's the same for a man. I'm just worried that if someone pesters Big Brother Deng every day, nasty rumors will start spreading. By then, it'll be difficult for anyone to prove their innocence!" Qiao Mei said.
Xia He thought about it carefully. What Qiao Mei said made sense. Back when Qian'e was still insensible, she had gone around spreading rumors about Xia Zhe and herself. There were people who believed her!
Earlier, Shao Yin had also wanted to use such a despicable method to deal with Xia Wen. If Qiao Mei had not seen through it in time, Xia Wen would probably be married to Shao Yin now.
She must speed up the pace and get the marriage registered. She should not wait any longer!
"Sorry to make you wait. Why are you free to come to the factory today? I thought the two of you never cared about these things?" Deng Fan teased.
Xia He was not listening to Deng Fan at all. She stared straight at him and said, "Let's go and register our marriage tomorrow!"
Qiao Mei and Deng Fan were stunned on the spot when they heard what Xia He said. Qiao Mei even wondered if she had heard wrongly just now. It sounded like Xia He was speaking impulsively after having too much to drink.
Even if their parents had already agreed to the marriage, they could not make such a rash decision about the date to register their marriage! Back then, when Qiao Mei and Xia Zhe registered their marriage, Qiao Qiang had specially asked the "old immortal" in the village to find a date that was compatible with both their birth dates!
"I… you… um… what did you say?" Deng Fan asked in a panic.
"I said! Let's register our marriage tomorrow! Register our marriage! Register our marriage!" Xia He said sternly.
"Elder Sister, aren't you being a little impulsive here?" Qiao Mei said as she looked at Xia He.
Xia He said firmly, "I'm not being impulsive. I want to register my marriage tomorrow. Even if an immortal comes, he won't be able to stop me from registering my marriage!"
Qiao Mei did not want to rain on Xia He's parade, but it was a fact that Xia He's wish could not be fulfilled. This was because it was the weekend tomorrow and the people in the community center did not need to go to work, so there was no one to process it for Xia He.
The sudden fighting spirit in Xia He dissipated. However, since she had already said it out loud, there was no reason for her to eat her words. Since she could not register her marriage during the weekend, she would do it on Monday. Moreover, she wanted to be the first one to get the marriage certificate on that day!
Deng Fan looked at Qiao Mei awkwardly. He did not know how to raise the issue with her.
"What's wrong, Big Brother Deng?" Qiao Mei asked.
"I…" Deng Fan was a little hesitant, but the look in Xia He's eyes was too serious and anxious. He clenched his teeth and said, "Qiao Mei… can I get an advance on the pay? I mean the payment for this project."
Qiao Mei had indeed not thought things through properly and did not discuss anything with Deng Fan in advance. The Four Big Things and betrothal gifts from the Deng family had not been delivered to Xia Mao and Xu Lan yet, so how could he go and register his marriage with Xia He now? If they did that, was it any different from eloping?
