Chapter 408: Chapter 408: Getting the Certificate (2) Chapter 408: Chapter 408: Getting the Certificate (2) “What? Now?” Lu Wanwan’s eyes widened, her heart pounding.

Gu Annan slowly turned around, still fastening his shirt buttons, his voice still had that clear, resonant quality as he said indifferently, “Would you prefer to pick another day?”

Lu Wanwan clutched the corner of her clothes, her mind still a bit muddled, “Usually… shouldn’t we pick an auspicious day?”

It was her first marriage; she didn’t quite understand!

“I picked one, today,” he answered succinctly.

From the moment she had asked that question, he didn’t want to wait any longer.

His answer was to directly take her to the civil affairs office to get those two red books.

She was Lu Wanwan, and he had no hesitation about this question.

Even he hadn’t anticipated that there would come a moment when he would be so eager to get the marriage certificate immediately.

He even started to regret that if they were in the city at that moment, they might already be standing at the entrance to the civil affairs office.

“Gu Annan, you didn’t check,” she muttered, “Did you memorize the almanac or something?”

Lu Wanwan had thought he would consult a master or at least pick a date according to the almanac.

Who knew he would just casually choose the day after tomorrow.

Gu Annan’s expression stiffened, choosing not to answer, “Do you want to go out in your pajamas?”

“I’ll go change clothes,” Lu Wanwan said, holding her clothes as she hurried out.

After a few steps, she remembered an issue.

In a family like Gu Annan’s, there should be some sort of prenuptial agreement before marriage, given their significant wealth, marriages are usually complicated.

She stood at the doorway of the wardrobe room, “Before that, is there anything we need to prepare? I have no experience and don’t know.”

Gu Annan’s face darkened even more, experience?

Eventually, Lu Wanwan heard his deliberately cold voice, “Prepare yourself.”

Lu Wanwan: “…”

When she came downstairs dressed, Aunt Li, seeing their somewhat formal attire, was slightly surprised.

Miss Lu had not been going out these days and even seldom came downstairs, which worried her a bit.

Although seeing her and the young master in such a good relationship was a good thing, thinking of the reason also made Aunt Li feel heartbroken for Miss Lu, wondering when she could overcome the grief of a family member’s passing.

Also, because during this time, Miss Lu, although staying in, seemed particularly afraid of being alone.

The servants who usually didn’t stay in the residence had been asked to stay as much as possible in case she needed anything.

“Miss Lu and the young master don’t seem like they will come back for dinner, will they?” Aunt Li asked with a smile, looking at Lu Wanwan’s expression.

Before Lu Wanwan could speak, she heard Gu Annan say, “We’ll just pick up a certificate and come back; it won’t be long.”

Aunt Li wasn’t sure if she had heard wrong due to her aging ears.

“Young master, do you need to go out and pick up something?”

Normally, Aunt Li shouldn’t have inquired so directly, but, what if it was the possibility she was thinking of?

Gu Annan glanced at the suddenly confused Aunt Li, not sure if she was genuinely confused or pretending to be.

Aunt Li, who often called his mother, was something he had known for a long time, and she cared about his marriage more than anything.

“Aunt Li, what do you think we’re going to pick up?”

Aunt Li looked troubled; if she guessed wrong and the young master denied it, how awkward it would be for Miss Lu.

Thus, for a moment, she remained silent.

Gu Annan didn’t explain either and looked at the time before striding out.

“Miss Lu…” Aunt Li’s heart was hanging there, feeling that the young master had a hidden meaning.

“Actually, it’s a marriage certificate…” Lu Wanwan said, not noticing Aunt Li’s ecstatic expression as she hurriedly followed Gu Annan out.
