Treasure Hunt: Tycoon's Priceless Runaway Wife

Chapter 564 - 563: Living a Practical Life with You (Second Update)

A slightly embarrassed Le Tong reached out and tugged Ji Rui.Ji Rui looked at her in confusion, "What’s wrong?"

"We should probably go home first..." Le Tong said awkwardly, clearly she had suggested getting married, but then...

Ji Rui’s face changed slightly, "Le Tong, are you having second thoughts?"

Le Tong glanced at Ji Rui’s expression, feeling a headache, leaned in and whispered, "I only have my ID card..."

She rarely made such careless mistakes, maybe because she was in a hurry, and truly overwhelmed with joy. And after getting up, Ji Rui had urged her nonstop like she was a duck being driven into a pen, which is why she made such a novice mistake.

Ji Rui let out a breath, "Just for this?"

Le Tong embarrassedly nodded, wasn’t this humiliating enough?

Ji Rui pushed her aside, gesturing for her to sit properly. Then, he methodically opened his briefcase, pulled out a neat stack of original documents and copies, handing them to the clerk.

"Could you please check if everything is complete?"

Le Tong’s eyes widened, "You prepared everything?"

Ji Rui spread his hands towards her, "ID card, hand it over."

Le Tong quickly and humbly handed over her ID card, Ji Rui passed it to the staff, then turned to look at her.

"When did you get all this ready?" Le Tong was still curious.

Clearly she was the one planning this, how did he end up taking the lead on everything?

Moreover, the proposal was only last night, and although he didn’t keep her up all night, they were up until one or two in the morning. After that, she fell asleep and woke up still in his arms. When did he prepare all these documents?

"After you fell asleep," Ji Rui said blandly.

He wouldn’t admit he was afraid that if too much time passed, she might back out. As soon as she slept, he got up secretly, checked online for the required documents for marriage registration, spent over an hour organizing everything according to the list.

Le Tong secretly marveled, this man certainly doesn’t fight a battle without preparation. After marveling, she felt like she indeed found a very reliable husband.

Realizing she had placed this man into a new position in her life, Le Tong felt a bit shy.

"Mr. Ji, Miss Le, could you please smile for the camera for a photo?"

Here, while Le Tong was still lost in thoughts, Ji Rui wrapped an arm around her shoulder, their faces close, a flash in front of them, and the wedding photo that would accompany them into old age was officially captured.

"Why are you in a daze, overly happy?" Ji Rui whispered in her ear.

Clearly, she had asked for the marriage, yet at this moment, Ji Rui seemed more accepting of the marriage.

This time, Le Tong indeed felt a little dazed.

After all, imagining it in your mind and physically holding two red marriage certificates in your hands is a considerably different feeling.

Just like an imagined hamburger, no matter how delicious, cannot compare with the texture and satisfaction of a real bite.

"Feels like a dream..." Le Tong honestly replied.

At this moment, she was being led out of the civil affairs office by Ji Rui, the car door opened, Ji Rui helping her into the car, then walked around to the driver’s seat.

Ji Rui noticed Le Tong wasn’t moving, leaned over to help buckle her seatbelt.

"Feels really happy? So much like dreaming?"

Ji Rui’s words buzzed in Le Tong’s ears.

"Mmm..." Le Tong let him, treating her like a princess, buckle her in, then he placed a blanket over her knees from the back.

"Don’t worry, I’ll make sure your life always feels like a dream,"

Ji Rui kissed her, then sat up to start the car.

"Where to?" Though not a romantic person, Ji Rui wasn’t so dense as to go straight back to work right after registration.

Le Tong finally came around slowly, "Go home first?"

"Alright." Ji Rui had no objection to that.

Right now, he felt a great sense of security.

The woman beside him was now legitimately his wife!

Driving the car seriously on one hand, teasing Le Tong on the other, and also contemplating a bunch of tasks coming next.

Just because she proposed the marriage didn’t mean follow-up matters could be skipped.

On the contrary, he should put in more sincerity and give her some surprises.

First, purchase the wedding rings, then set the wedding date, choose the wedding venue, get custom-made wedding attire, and prepare a honeymoon trip...

A mountain of tasks like these – previously, he watched others going through them, only one word in his mind: "troublesome"!

But now, as the person involved, he surprisingly didn’t feel troubled at all.

On the way home, from ring styles to hotel locations, he went through at least four or five options for each within a large half-hour, and found it joyful.

However, Ji Rui knew he wasn’t good at these things, so he tried to get some hints from Le Tong.

"What ideas do you have for the wedding?"

At that moment, Le Tong wasn’t thinking about the wedding at all.

She was pondering, Ji Rui had already given Old Master what he wanted. Next, how should she persuade Ji Rui to cooperate with the Yang Family?

"Wedding? There’s no rush."

Neither marriage nor weddings were in Le Tong’s immediate plans.

Ji Rui’s question was addressed very naturally by Le Tong.

An energetic Ji Rui slightly frowned.

Even someone not very sensitive like him could sense something was off.

Wasn’t she the one who proposed the marriage?

So why did he feel that she wasn’t excited or thrilled at all?

And the happy, excited one seemed to be only him?

The car drove into the parking lot, Ji Rui parked it neatly.

"Le Tong, what’s the matter?"

Ji Rui certainly didn’t dare to express his thoughts, although he felt quite uncomfortable inside.

"Nothing’s wrong!" Le Tong looked at him innocently, unbuckled the seatbelt, got out of the car, and waited beside it for Ji Rui.

"Really nothing?"

Even Ji Rui felt he was overthinking it, after all, Le Tong treated him so incredibly well.

They went into the elevator, Le Tong secretly observing Ji Rui via the reflective surface, carefully reflecting on her earlier words and reactions, secretly breaking into a sweat.

"Ji Rui, do you think it’s more important to get the certificate or to have a grand wedding?"

Ji Rui turned his head to look at her, "Both are important!"

Le Tong shook her head, "To me, getting the certificate is real; a grand wedding is fake, something done for others to see. And I don’t need what’s fake; I just want to actually live with you, not just show off in front of others."

Ji Rui was stunned; he indeed hadn’t thought of what Le Tong said.

He only wanted, with all his ability, to give her the best, including the status and face she wanted!
