Reborn in the 80s and Remarrying an Officer, Let the Ungrateful Cry!

Mrs. Fu hadn’t gone anywhere. She just waited at home.

When she saw the two of them return, she couldn’t wait to ask, ”Did you get your marriage certificate?”

”We did.”

”We did!”

Fu Mingxue and Qin Wenhao answered in unison.

Mrs. Fu...?

She nearly lost her balance.

”Let me see the marriage certificate.”

Fu Mingxue looked at Qin Wenhao. ”Show my mom your copy.”

Qin Wenhao took the marriage certificate, folded into a small square, out of his pocket.

”Mom, here you go.”

Fu Mingxue’s eyes widened when she heard him say that.

’Who... who is he calling Mom?’

’Does he really see himself as her son-in-law already?’

’Isn’t he getting into character a little too quickly?’

Qin Wenhao saw the expression on her face change and found her quite interesting.

As for Mrs. Fu, she too was stunned for a couple of seconds when she heard Qin Wenhao call her ”Mom.” It felt a little strange.

She took the marriage certificate and opened it. When she saw her daughter’s name next to Qin Wenhao’s, she stared at it for a long moment.

Then she handed the certificate back to Qin Wenhao.

”Son-in-law, keep this safe!”

Fu Mingxue...?

’Wait a minute, aren’t the two of them adapting to their new roles a little too quickly?’

’It’s making me feel like the odd one out.’

”Since you’re married now, you two should live a good life together from here on out. By the way, son-in-law, when are you heading back? And shouldn’t you tell your family that you got your marriage certificate?”

”Mom, I’m heading back tomorrow. I’ll call my family to tell them that Mingxue and I got our certificate. It’s actually what they wanted, too. As for the wedding—”

Fu Mingxue couldn’t listen to any more of this.

She quickly cut him off. ”There’s no rush for a wedding!”

’The sword of Damocles is gone, so I have absolutely no intention of holding a wedding.’

’He already said he doesn’t want kids, so we’ll definitely get a divorce eventually.’

’If I wasn’t afraid of killing my mom from sheer anger, I’d go get a divorce right now.’

As she spoke, both Mrs. Fu and Qin Wenhao turned to look at her.

Fu Mingxue felt the pressure mount. She forced a smile. ”What I mean is, there’s no rush for a wedding. I have to enroll at the university right after the New Year, so there’s no time. We might as well wait until—”

’The end of next year,’ she thought. ’We’ll be long divorced by then.’

Before she could finish, Mrs. Fu cut in, ”Then we’ll wait until summer break. You’ll have two months, which is perfect for a wedding.”

Fu Mingxue...?

”That works. We’ll do as Mom says,” Qin Wenhao agreed with a nod.

Fu Mingxue...?

’This is the same guy who broke off our engagement, so why is he so cheerful about calling her ”Mom” all of a sudden?’

Right now, Mrs. Fu’s feelings toward Qin Wenhao were just as the old saying describes: the more a mother-in-law looks at her new son-in-law, the more she likes what she sees.

”Since today is such a joyous occasion for you two, we’ll have a proper celebration at dinner. I’ll go slaughter a chicken. Son-in-law, you and Mingxue should have a good chat.”

The young couple had only just met today; they were still complete strangers.

A good chat would help them get acquainted.

Just then, Qin Wenhao quickly said, ”Mom, I have some business to take care of, so I’m going to step out for a bit. I’ll be back later.”

Hearing this, Mrs. Fu nodded. ”All right, then. Just make sure you’re back before dinner.”

”I’ll be on my way, then.” Qin Wenhao gave Fu Mingxue a nod and walked out of the Fu family’s house.

Fu Mingxue...?

Mrs. Fu, however, shot her daughter a glare. ”Since you were the one so insistent on getting married, you’d better live a good life with your husband from now on. And as for those two children, you need to treat them well.”

’Anyone who would adopt the son of a comrade-in-arms... This son-in-law of mine is a truly good man!’
