Chapter 713 - 723: Difficulties (5)
Seeing him silent for a long time, Qiao Mo finally couldn’t help but ask, "What are you thinking?"Fu Nancheng snapped back to reality, turned his head and smiled faintly at her, but said nothing.
In fact, as soon as he resolved Qiao Yun’s matter, he rushed over immediately. He thought he might not make it in time, but unexpectedly, he arrived much earlier than anticipated.
But he did not expect that Jing Hao was also here.
The car drove for about another hour and slowly stopped in front of the civil affairs bureau.
Qiao Mo looked at the entrance of the civil affairs bureau in a daze, "Why... why are we here?"
"To get the certificate." He unbuckled his seatbelt and spoke in a deep voice.
Qiao Mo was stunned, completely unprepared, even thinking he was joking.
But when she met his dark eyes and clearly saw the seriousness in them, she gradually restrained her smile, finally realizing he wasn’t joking.
"Today is Saturday, this place isn’t open." Qiao Mo avoided his gaze and spoke calmly.
"I made an appointment with the director of the civil affairs bureau, so we can make an exception."
Qiao Mo was speechless and turned her head to look out the window, "I didn’t bring my household registration book, better go back."
As soon as she finished speaking, a tapping sound came from the car window.
Zhuo Lin hurriedly ran over and stood by the car door. Fu Nancheng rolled down the window, and he handed in two red booklets, "President, these are the household registration books for you and Miss Qiao."
Looking at the household registration books in his hand, she couldn’t help but say, "Fu Nancheng... you..."
He spoke warmly, "No need to reschedule, they’ve already been delivered."
With that, he waited for her answer.
At that moment, Qiao Mo felt a mix of emotions, never imagining he would suddenly bring her here to get a certificate. This sounded simply like a... joke?
Inside the car, silence quickly fell. He continued to wait.
Qiao Mo’s fingers curled slightly. After all this time, she seemed to have no expectations for a wedding or getting the certificate.
On the contrary, there was some hesitation and resistance.
"Fu Nancheng, I think... it’s not the right time yet." Qiao Mo spoke frankly.
Disappointment flashed across Fu Nancheng’s eyes, but he forced himself to remain calm and said, "The baby is about to be born, it’s not good for the household registration without the certificate."
Hearing this, Qiao Mo touched her belly, feeling somewhat swayed.
He never urged her but kept her expressions in mind.
He actually knew that she had been upset lately, likely already completely disappointed in him.
But he also didn’t feel good, facing Qiao Yun’s face every day, which resembled hers, his mind was full of her, yet he had to tolerate that woman.
During this period, he had been in contact with Qiao Yun frequently, but the more he interacted, the more certain he became that Xiao Mo was the girl from those years.
No matter how similar one’s appearance is, some things within the bones cannot change.
Qiao Yun pretended to be so sweet and obedient, lacking that touch of aloofness and elegance.
No matter how she deliberately learned, the more he got to know her, the less he felt she was her.
Unfortunately, he still hadn’t figured out everything from back then.
Qiao Mo was somewhat conflicted at this moment. Frankly speaking, she didn’t want to get the certificate with him now.
Love? Of course.
But she wasn’t sure if he loved her the same way.
Seeing her silent for a long time, Fu Nancheng lowered his voice again, "The matter of the wedding is bad for your reputation, and now your pregnancy can’t be hidden. If you don’t get the certificate, in the future, the child may be criticized, which isn’t good for the child."
Qiao Mo was slightly startled, having never considered this issue.
