Chapter 395: Marriage Registration

“What car?” Mo Fei glanced back in confusion.

Xixi also became curious. She twisted her neck to look, but the tall child safety seat blocked her view and she couldn’t move. The little girl then cried out helplessly, “I want to see it. I want to see it too!”

“Sit properly, or the traffic police uncle will come and arrest your Papa,” Mo Fei playfully warned her.

“There’s a silver-gray van behind us,” Yang Yi said as he drove while glancing at the rearview mirror. In it, he could see a van following them, always keeping a few regular cars between them.

When faced with a situation, Yang Yi put aside other distractions, his mind becoming very clear. He could sense a vague strangeness. It wasn’t a feeling of imminent danger, but Yang Yi was certain that they were being followed!

“Could it be paparazzi? But I didn’t go back to the company today!” Mo Fei asked doubtfully.

It was useless to think too much. Yang Yi couldn’t get out of the car to deal with the follower. He smiled slightly and said, “It’s okay, I’ll just shake them off!”

“Hold on tight!” Yang Yi shifted the gears and slammed on the gas. The powerful horsepower of the Tyrant Wolf was demonstrated. It quickly accelerated, and under Yang Yi’s control, the car deftly wove through the traffic, turning several streets until finally shaking off the silver-gray van behind them!

The thrilling urban racing made Mo Fei a little nervous, but Xixi was extremely excited. She looked at the cars passing by outside the window and found it was so fun, dancing and giggling non-stop.

Yang Yi slowed down the car, but Xixi remained restless. As she watched the car behind her passed by, she anxiously shouted, “Papa, hurry up, hurry up! We’re going to get caught!”

“Why speed up when we’re already here?” Yang Yi said with a smile.

Arriving at the Civil Affairs Bureau in the Binhai District, perhaps because it was still just after the Lunar New Year, there weren’t many people at the bureau. The people who were there were mostly excited couples eager to get married, each believing they were the protagonist of the day. Even when they saw Mo Fei wearing a mask and a cap, they didn’t think much about it.

Yang Yi took a queue number, waited in line for a while, and soon it was their turn.

When their number was called, Mo Fei became a bit nervous. Yang Yi looked at her, and she seemed a bit flustered. There was a smile in her eyes, but she stood there, unable to move her legs.

Yang Yi smiled slightly, reached out, took Mo Fei’s slightly sweaty little hand, and interlocked his fingers with hers.

At this moment, Mo Fei calmed down. She moved a bit closer to Yang Yi, gazed at him sweetly, and said softly, “Let’s go.”

Yang Yi held Mo Fei’s hand with his right hand while his left hand held Xixi’s, who was curiously looking around. Together, they walked into the marriage registration office.

At this moment, they caught the attention of other people in the waiting room, but they only cast their gaze on Xixi, feeling a little surprised.

When they saw the little girl before, they thought that her parents were here for a divorce, but they didn’t expect they were here to get married!

Could it be that they were divorced and remarrying? Of course, these two adults look quite young, so there’s also a possibility of them having a child before marriage…

Regardless of the speculation of the onlookers, Yang Yi, Mo Fei, and Xixi were already facing the official responsible for processing their marriage registration.

When the kind-looking middle-aged woman saw Mo Fei dressed like she was seriously ill, she smiled and said, “Take off the hat and mask. it’s not like you’re going for a check-up. Why wear them while getting married?”

Mo Fei had forgotten. She hurriedly nodded, released Yang Yi’s hand, took off her hat and mask, and put them in her bag.

“Let me take a look at the household registration book first!” The female official said to Yang Yi with a smile.

“Xixi, it’s your turn!” Yang Yi patted their daughter’s shoulder, smiling. Xixi had been eager to help her parents, so Yang Yi gave her his and Mo Fei’s household registration books.

The little girl reacted and quickly took out their household registration book from her small bag. She ran forward, placed it on the desk, stood on tiptoe, pushed the household registration book in front of the other person, and said crisply, “Auntie, here you go.”

“Oh, such a lovely little girl! Thank you!” The female official only noticed Xixi at this moment. As she took the household registration book, she looked at Yang Yi in surprise. “Wait, who is this?”

“Our daughter,” Yang Yi quickly explained, not forgetting to add, “Our biological daughter!”

The official was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Yang Yi and Mo Fei again. She never expected that these two “young people” were getting married and brought such a big child along!

She also subconsciously thought that the couple might have previously divorced due to arguments and were now remarrying, making their situation a bit complicated. As a result, she was preoccupied with Xixi’s presence and failed to recognize Mo Fei.

In order to confirm her guess, the female official opened Yang Yi’s household registration book. She saw that under Yang Yi’s name, the marital status section clearly stated “Unmarried.”

What about the woman? Her name was Mo Fei, and she was also unmarried!

Wait, Mo Fei?

At this moment, the female official realized that the woman had looked somewhat familiar earlier. She shifted her gaze from the photo on the household registration book to Mo Fei’s face.

“It really is Mo Fei!” the female official exclaimed in surprise.

“Hello,” Mo Fei nodded at her a little embarrassedly.

“Oh, my whole family loves your songs, and we love you so much! You’re here to…” The female official was a little excited to see a celebrity. Then she patted her head and laughed, “Oh right, you’re here to get married. What else would you be here for?”

The female official, who often handled marriage registrations, was cheerful and friendly. Her casual and friendly demeanor quickly helped bridge the gap with strangers.

After hearing what she said, Mo Fei’s nervousness and embarrassment disappeared a lot. She smiled at the other party and said, “Thank you. I came here with my husband today to register for marriage.”

After learning about Mo Fei’s identity, the female official wasn’t too surprised that they were getting married with such a big child. In their system, she had heard even more detailed information than the gossip media, and there were plenty of cases of celebrities hiding their marriages or living in common-law marriages without registering.

“Oh, this is a big happy event! Congratulations! Here, fill out this form first, and then you can head to the room next door for photos. You know the procedure, right?” The female official said warmly. “Oh, and Mo Fei, could you sign an autograph for me later? My child is a huge fan of yours.”

“No problem,” As Mo Fei and Yang Yi were filling out the application form, she looked up and said with a smile, “But please keep it confidential, because we don’t plan to make the news public just yet.”

“Of course, we take confidentiality very seriously here.” The female official said with a smile. She then looked at Xixi and complimented, “Oh, your daughter is really beautiful! Such a perfect match—good genes indeed!”

The “a perfect match” remark was just a compliment from her, as she had no idea what Yang Yi did for a living.

Yang Yi smiled and gently patted Xixi’s little bottom, reminding her, “Xixi, Auntie is praising you.”

Xixi giggled and hid in her father’s arm, then poked out her little head, looked at the kind-looking auntie shyly and sweetly said, “Thank you, Auntie!”

“What a well-behaved child!” The female official took out a few candies from the drawer and placed them in Xixi’s hand.

The thing they have the most was candy, because many newlyweds would bring wedding candies when they came to register and share them with the officials afterward.
