Hou Yi and Anna Jones followed Official Song, at the Civil Administration Bureau our of the Foyer, and down a corridor to enable them to complete the necessary formalities for the issuing of their marriage certificate. ƒ𝐫𝐞𝐞w𝗲𝚋𝐧o𝘷el - 🅽🅽novel
As they walked down the corridor, Anna started to feel overwhelmed at what was about to happen, in the absence of her parents. She had only agreed with Lu Jinhu, based on a lie to marry here, in the absence of her parents, but given what had happened, she really wished that she had her parents here.
Hou Yi stopped, as he had realised in looking down at Anna, she was not coping due to what had happened. He bent down and whispered to her "I can guess what your issue is. You were wishing that your parents were here today. Do not worry, there are a couple of rooms for the completion of obtaining marriage certificates that are where the process can be filmed. I had made arrangements for this to happen when I made the booking. The reasons for the initial making of this booking was to provide the evidence I had complied with my father and grandfahter's demand, but it now has a more important task. I will ask Official Song to rush the footage to me, and when you are ready you can provide it to your parents. While they cannot be here, they will be a part of what happens here, and can see what I am guessing will be important to them, in seeing their little girl get married."
Anna looked up at Hou Yi and realised that he was giving her the opportunity that she thought would not occur. He parents would see this day. Even though the original motives for doing this were to protect himself, at least he was able to realise that it had an equally important task for her. It made her them in her mind contrast Lu Jinhu, when he 'made' the arrangements for their marriage only looked out for him and his parents, rather than considering him. Had she really thought herself in love with him, she wondered. Was he always so selfish, only ever considering himself. While Hou Yi was selfish, and thinking about himself, and the family business, at least he realised that there was someone else that had to be equally considered. What a contrast.
Hou Yi, just stood looking down at Anna, and they again became oblivious to everything around them. Official Song, had realised that the couple he was about to issue their marriage certificate to had stopped and were ignoring everything around them. Like those in the foyer, he simply made the assumption that the couple were so in love that everything around them did not matter. He could not wait to tell those higher up in the Civil Administration Bureau and the Government what he had seen, CEO Hou losing his well-known sole focus on business and was distracted by a woman, something no one had seen before.
Official Song looked down at his watch and realised that if he did not get this couple moving, then the formalities would not be completed in the time they had, as there was another couple booked in to use the room that they were. While he would, for CEO Hou keep them waiting, he knew it was a young couple, the woman of which had been diagnosed with incurable cancer, and the families had agreed, despite the pending tragedy to befall them, as the couple had always wanted to marry, they would, and it would be a great occasion.
Reluctantly, Official Song, walked up to the couple who were still oblivious to his presence "Sorry CEO Hou, Miss. Normally I would let you take as much time as you needed, but there is a need to use the room after you. I would put them off, but the circumstance are such that I cannot."
This stopped Hou Yi and Anna, from their thoughts about what they were about to do. Anna blushed, realising that Official Song must have believe that they were so much in their own world that they forgot about everything else.
Hou Yi stated, "No problem, Official Song."
With that, Hou Yi and Anna followed Official Song into the room where their marriage certificate would be issued.
