half thorns, half joy

"I see." After Tang Xuan finished speaking, she hung up the phone directly. She actually wanted to ask what was wrong, but it seemed that Xiao Zihan had finished calling outside, and she was afraid that Xiao Zihan would become suspicious if she continued.

After hanging up the phone, Tang Xuan stayed in the bathroom for a while, trying to figure out what to say before she left the bathroom.

Xiao Zihan happened to walk over with a water glass in his hand, and when he saw Tang Xuan, he asked, "Whose phone number?"

"An old classmate, I don't know where he heard about my getting married, so he called to ask me if it was true or not." Tang Xuan shook her head helplessly, "Isn't it generally said that everyone will pretend to be married when they hear that an old classmate is getting married?" Tsukuru doesn't know, why did he still take the initiative to call and ask?"

Xiao Zihan narrowed his eyes, "Male and female."

Tang Xuan chuckled, "Girl, where are you thinking again, really, you just called Auntie, what did Auntie say, what day is it?"

Tang Xuan acted very naturally, Xiao Zihan had no doubts about him, and said, "Number 12 next month happens to be Saturday."

"That's... there are still [-] days left." Tang Xuan calculated, "I feel like the time is pretty tight."

Xiao Zihan put down his water glass, walked over and hugged Tang Xuan, "Anyway, you just wait to be your bride, and I'll take care of the other things. , just go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a marriage certificate."

Tang Xuan was shocked, she forgot about it.

What she thought before was that as long as the matter could be delayed until before the wedding, she and Xiao Zihan would not be considered a real couple, and after that she left, she was just a former girlfriend and ex-fiancee, The impact is not as great as that of the wife.

I actually forgot about getting a marriage certificate.

After receiving the marriage certificate, even if the wedding was not held, she and Xiao Zihan legally became husband and wife, which is more serious than holding a wedding.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Zihan asked quickly when he saw that Tang Xuan's expression was not right.

Tang Xuan came back to her senses, "Ah, it's nothing. I was just thinking about when I can take this marriage certificate. The Civil Affairs Bureau should also have a day off, so I can't go on weekends."

Xiao Zihan nodded, "It doesn't matter, we can go out to shoot at work that day, anyway, now the whole company knows our relationship, even my dad agrees, what are you afraid of."

"Of course I'm not afraid, I'm just a little nervous." The two walked to the bed, and Tang Xuan lifted the quilt up. "I used to watch people go to the Civil Affairs Bureau on TV. It was quite interesting."

"Don't be nervous, with me by your side, you don't have to worry about anything, as long as you dress up nicely and follow me."

Tang Xuan laughed at Xiao Zihan's confident appearance, "Why, you seem to be very proficient."

Xiao Zihan immediately stared, "Proficiency is not appropriate for me, it's my first time, but as a man, I have to stand up. We can't both be nervous."

Seeing Xiao Zihan's serious explanation, Tang Xuan quickly coaxed, "Okay, I'm teasing you, don't get excited."

Xiao Zihan narrowed his eyes and stared at Tang Xuan with malicious intent, "So you're playing tricks on me, let's see how I deal with you!"

"Don't stop, I'm going to sleep!"

Tang Xuan immediately raised her hand to surrender, but it was too late.

……

The next day, Tang Xuan got up early in the morning, made breakfast for Xiao Zihan, tidied up the house, and cleaned the house.

"Why did you get up so early today and only slept for a few hours? Are you awake?" Xiao Zihan rubbed his sleepy eyes and walked to the living room, hugging Tang Xuan.

Tang Xuan stopped mopping the floor. She smiled and urged Xiao Zihan, "Go wash up, and have breakfast after washing."

"Okay..." Xiao Zihan entered the bathroom with a long tail.

Coming out of the bathroom again, Xiao Zihan immediately changed from a messy chicken nest that he couldn't open his eyes to a neat and handsome fresh handsome guy.

He sat on the dining table excitedly, looked at the sumptuous breakfast, and asked Tang Xuan with blinked eyes, "What a good day it is today."

Tang Xuan put down the mop, went to wash her hands, and sat down with Xiao Zihan, "What a happy day, I just want to clean up the house. I've been running back and forth with you recently, and the house is a mess."

Xiao Zihan stretched out his hand to hold Tang Xuan's wrist, and said with a smile, "If you think it's messy, you can ask the part-time worker to clean it up, or I can find an auntie, you don't have to work so hard yourself."

"It doesn't take too much effort. I really like doing these things." Tang Xuan was telling the truth. She likes doing housework. One of the ways she vents her anger is to do housework desperately.

Besides, she has other plans today.

Xiao Zihan knew that Tang Xuan had an idea, so he didn't interfere much with Tang Xuan's choice, he just said, "Anyway, if you find it troublesome, don't do it, just tell me, I'll call the part-time worker over, or you can call it yourself, it won't cost much. A few dollars."

"En." Tang Xuan nodded, and put another side dish in Xiao Zihan's porridge bowl, "What are you going to do today, are you going to the new house?"

"I don't know, I haven't decided yet." Xiao Zihan happily ate the food Tang Xuan gave him, "I planned to go home, but it's not interesting to go back. What about you, what are you planning to do?"

Tang Xuan pretended to be thinking about it, "Hmm...I want to go shopping and go shopping."

"I'll accompany you." Xiao Zihan said.

Tang Xuan shook her head, "No, I'll go by myself. I'm sorry if you go."

Xiao Zihan was taken aback for a moment, and then the corner of his mouth curled into a wicked smile, "You're embarrassed if I accompany you to buy something, then what are you going to buy?"

"What do you think?" Tang Xuan gave Xiao Zihan an annoyed look, "I'm not the kind of person who needs to be accompanied by her boyfriend when buying women's products, it's too embarrassing."

"I'm not a boyfriend, I'm your fiance, future husband." Xiao Zihan corrected.

Tang Xuan: "That's embarrassing. It will be even more embarrassing if someone takes pictures of you. After all, you are a person with status. You should pay attention to your image when you go out."

Xiao Zihan was speechless by Tang Xuan. Tang Xuan always bought women's products, and he didn't let him accompany her in underwear. He was used to it.

Seeing that Xiao Zihan didn't speak, Tang Xuan thought about it and gave Xiao Zihan an idea, "Why don't you go home and take a look, we're getting married soon, and Auntie must be very reluctant to part with you, so you should spend time with her."

"Ah?" Xiao Zihan looked confused, "It's not like I'm going somewhere, I'm still here after I get married, what can I be reluctant to part with?"

Tang Xuan was speechless and could only explain to Xiao Zihan, "A mother would be reluctant to insert an outsider into your close mother-child relationship."

"Oh." Xiao Zihan pouted, "Just go, why are you so fierce."

"I'm not mean." Tang Xuan flattered and took another piece of meat for Xiao Zihan, "Don't take it to heart, I didn't mean it."

Xiao Zihan: "Hmph."

Tang Xuan was worried about Xiao Zihan, so she urged Xiao Zihan to go back to Xiao's house before lunch, and only felt relieved when she heard Zhao Suizhi's voice from Xiao Zihan's side urging her to eat.

She remembered Coco's reminder the night before, so she took Xiao Zihan's coat and hat from the closet, dressed in a trendy style, and went to Coco's shop.

"Hey, not bad." Ke Ke whistled at Tang Xuan.

Tang Xuan took off her hat, walked over and sat opposite Police Officer Liu, greeted Police Officer Liu, and then asked, "What's the matter this time?"

Police Officer Liu: "There is a person next to Xiao Mingyuan, named Xiao Yu. We mentioned him before. He has been acting a lot recently. We need some information."

"What information?" Tang Xuan asked.

"Look at this first." Officer Liu pushed a stack of papers and a few photos in front of Tang Xuan.

Tang Xuan looked over one by one, and couldn't believe it: "Is this Xiao Yu planning to collude with the Lin family to bring down the Xiao family?"

"Not sure, but there is a possibility." Officer Liu said again: "Also, we found out that this Xiao Yu is Xiao Mingyuan's illegitimate son."

"What?" Tang Xuan was shocked.

Officer Liu nodded, "It's absolutely true. Considering that it is difficult for you to get in touch with Xiao Yu, my plan is that you indirectly disclose the news that Xiao Yu is Xiao Mingyuan's illegitimate son to Xiao Zihan, and ask him to investigate Xiao Zihan. You can pass him and give us everything he finds."

Tang Xuan was a little dazed. She recalled Xiao Yu's strange reactions when she saw her, and suddenly understood something.

Xiao Yu hates her, doesn't that mean he also hates Xiao Zihan?
After all, illegitimate children, generally speaking, do not see the light, and live in the shadow of the son of the real master.

"Also, we've almost finished collecting the evidence, now we're waiting for an opportunity to wipe them all out."

Tang Xuan immediately asked, "About when?"

Officer Liu thought for a while and replied, "It should be the beginning of next month."

Ke Ke interrupted suddenly and asked Tang Xuan, "I heard that your wedding photos are all finished. When is the wedding?"

Tang Xuan bit her lip, "No. 12 next month."

"That's just right." Officer Liu nodded. "The matter of your marriage will definitely distract their attention. Temporarily stabilizing the situation will be very beneficial to our arrest operation."

"……Um."

Police Officer Liu saw Tang Xuan's sad expression and seemed unhappy, so he added, "Tang Xuan, you sacrificed your own happiness in return for the truth and light. You should be happy."

Tang Xuan didn't want to hear these big reasons, and she didn't have any disagreements, so she forced a smile and promised, "Don't worry, I know what to do."

"That's good. I'll let you know if there's anything to do. I'll go first. You can talk." Officer Liu came and went in a hurry, and left after speaking.

Tang Xuan and Ke Ke were relatively silent and sat silently.

After a while, Tang Xuan asked Ke Ke, "By the way, you said last night that something was wrong. What's going on?"

"Oh, that, I think Lao Deng sent someone to follow me." Coco took a sip of milk tea and said lightly: "I don't know how much he knows now, but he hasn't done anything to me yet, so he probably still knows. More."

Seeing Ke Ke's indifferent look, Tang Xuan asked in puzzlement, "Why are you not afraid, why are you not nervous at all?"

Ke Ke continued to struggle with the pearl milk tea, "What's the use of being afraid, what's the use of being nervous, I've already been nervous, he hasn't done anything, I'm tired."

exhausted.

Tang Xuan was helpless, but she could only comfort Ke Ke, "Don't think too much, since Lao Deng hasn't found out until now, it means that you have done a good job of concealing your work. As long as you are more careful in the future, it will be difficult for him to find out. of."

"That's the only way to go." Coco drank a cup of milk tea, her eyes fell on Tang Xuan's hat on the table, "This hat is pretty, isn't it limited edition?"

Tang Xuan was about to say it belonged to Xiao Zihan, but Ke Ke took it and put it on her head.

"It seems to suit my body shape quite well." Ke Ke turned on the front camera of her phone, looked left and right for a while, and said to Tang Xuan, "Give it to me."

"this is not……"

Ke Ke interrupted Tang Xuan, and quickly said, "I've already treated you to so many milk teas, why don't you give me a hat?"

"It's not that I'm reluctant, the main thing is that this hat belongs to Xiao Zihan, I..."

Ke Ke was completely unmoved, "Then you tell him, you lost it after wearing it, Master Xiao is so rich, would he care about a hat?"

Seeing that Ke Ke's attitude was so tough and determined to ask for a hat, Tang Xuan had no choice but to buy this hat and Xiao Zihan hadn't worn it before, so it wouldn't be strange to give it away.

"Okay, then send me off." Keke grimaced happily, "Old Deng is watching me closely, I'll go back first, you can leave later."

"Okay." Tang Xuan reluctantly agreed.

At this time, Tang Xuan didn't know that the hat she gave away saved her life.
