His Real Wedded Bride

Chapter 119 Getting The Marriage License

"Why?" Charles frowned. It was already settled. Why did she suddenly change her mind?

"I..." Leila sadly looked at Charles then lowered her head in silence. "This is Linda's job. There are still

many things I am not clear about..."

"Get to the point. Don't waste my time." Charles interrupted. He didn't want to listen to her beating

around the bush.

Leila still kept her head down and replied, "Mr. Lu, I noticed that Linda did not feel well this morning and

I took the initiative to ask to go with you to the dinner party. But she seemed to have issues with this.

She was reluctant to help me when I asked her about the plan of the case. I don't want our relationship

to go sour because of this. So..."

Charles frowned and said lightly, "It's all decided and there is no need to change. If there is anything

unclear about the work, you can ask David."

As soon as Charles finished, he hurriedly walked away. Leila had planned to find an excuse to keep

him from leaving, but watching Charles disappear with quickened steps, she couldn't help stomping her

feet in anger.

Linda was relieved when she saw that Leila's plan had failed. She looked at Leila and smirked, "Did

you see? Mr. Lu only has his wife in his heart. You can't win."

"It's my own business and not your concern." Leila left, feeling furious. If it was not for David's

presence, she would have thrown a tantrum. But she knew she couldn't.

She had just gained some footing at the Shining Company and she didn't want others to know her

character and true intentions.

When Charles arrived home, Autumn was still looking for a job on the internet. Since she received no

news from any company that would be interested in her resume, she decided to personally drop by a

company this afternoon to try her luck. She was going to convince the people there of her abilities and

qualifications, even if she got refused.

Charles pushed the door open. Autumn turned her head at the sound, surprised to see Charles in front

of her. "Shouldn't you still be at work? Why are you home so early?"

"I will be busy in the next few days. And there is a dinner party I have to attend tonight. So I decided to

come back and have lunch with you." He sat on the bed and lifted her up. "Get up now, we have

reservations at a good restaurant."

"Only the two of us?" Autumn asked as she picked some clothes to wear in the wardrobe. When she

got a positive answer, she frowned and said, "If it's only the two of us, why taking the trouble to eat out?

We can do that here at home."

"Everything is ready, let's go!" As soon as Autumn got dressed, Charles took Autumn directly to the

restaurant. It was just the two of them, but he had reserved a big box.

"Did you get rich overnight?" The box was big enough for more than ten people. Autumn was

speechless when she saw the table full of dishes and the luxurious decorations in the box.

Charles laughed and said, "Are you doubting your husband's financial capacity?"

Autumn stuck out her tongue in embarrassment. He was Mr. Lu, the CEO of Shining Company. Of Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

course, he had always been rich.

"Sit down, please." Charles made her sit on the main seat. Right before her eyes, Charles got down on

one knee and took out a small box. He opened the red suede lid. In it was a diamond ring.

Autumn became uneasy. She wanted to lift Charles to his feet. But he seemed persistent. "Get up

quickly. What are you doing? It's embarrassing to be seen like this."

"Please let me finish." Charles lifted the ring box and looked at Autumn in the eyes. "Autumn, we met

and knew each other through a beautiful misunderstanding. But during the days we spent together, I

was gradually attracted to you. And from the moment I had feelings for you till I really fell in love with

you, it all went so fast."

Charles smiled. He never thought that he would be willing to jump into a commitment like this because

of Autumn.

"I thought you were Yvonne when we first got married. I know I owe you so much. So, Autumn, could

you marry me again? This time, as yourself?" The wedding they had before was grand, but it was

specially prepared for Yvonne. The woman he loved now was Autumn. So he hoped that Autumn would

marry him as the real her.

"What are you doing? Another wedding? That would be embarrassing." Autumn had actually said "Yes"

thousands of times in her heart. She was so uneasy with Charles kneeling down in front of her. "Stand

up!"

"If you don't say yes, I won't stand up." Charles's hand holding the ring box was getting sore. "Autumn,

for some reasons, I can't announce your identity to the whole world now. But please believe me, you

are the only woman in my heart."

"I know, I know." Tears welled up in her eyes. "Yes! Could you please stand up now? I say yes!"

She married him before as a substitute, but from that moment, she fell in love with him and was willing

to give all her heart to him. She had already firmly believed that he was her prince charming.

She didn't care about the rituals of marriage. She only wanted to be with him.

"Then we will go and get the marriage license this afternoon, okay?" When they first got married, he

hadn't thought of getting the marriage license because it was troublesome. But now, it was the right

time.

"To get the marriage license?" Autumn had already forgotten about such a thing. Looking at Charles's

expecting eyes, she nodded firmly and said, "Okay."

Charles joyfully pulled Autumn into his arms. He knew she would say yes. But he was very nervous,

waiting for her reply. What if she refused?

"Should... Should we go back to get the household registration booklet?" Autumn asked nervously.

"I have prepared everything, don't worry." Charles said with a smile.

After the meal, Charles took her directly to the Department of Civil Affairs. He opened the trunk of the

car and took out a large red box full of wedding candies. Autumn was surprised at the sight of the

candy box. She asked, "When did you prepare this?"

"It's a secret." In fact, he had no experience with important matters as getting the marriage certificate.

Thanks to Gary who had reminded him to bring this with him, he could give out the candies to others to

share their happiness.

Autumn felt a little shy and embarrassed. Charles wore the happy smile all the way when they were

there. He took the large red candy box and gave out the candies to the staff and other newly-weds in

the waiting room. All the people who received the candies said "Congratulations" with a smile. Autumn

hesitated and walked to Charles. She stood beside him and beamed at other couples and replied,

"Congratulations, too!"

After she got the marriage license, she held it in her hand. It was light in weight, but it weighted so

much in her heart. It was so precious.

As the wind blew in from outside, her eyes became red because of the excitement.
