Chapter 625: Married
Gu Dai pushed aside the doc.u.ments in front of her, looked up at Su Ting, and nodded. “I saw the comments online yesterday.”
Su Ting was momentarily startled before his eyes brightened as he looked at Gu Dai. “Not only do netizens know we are together, they are even hoping we’ll… get married.”
Gu Dai nodded, responding, “I saw that too.”
Observing Gu Dai’s expressionless face, Su Ting felt a sinking feeling, his emotions dipped slightly. “Daidai, getting married now might indeed be a bit premature. We should spend more time together to really understand each other,” he said.
Then, taking a deep breath to suppress the sourness in his heart, he continued, “And don’t feel pressured by what people online are saying. I’ll handle it.”
As Su Ting stood up and started to walk away, Gu Dai, stunned by his actions and words, quickly stood and reached out to grab Su Ting’s arm, asking, “Don’t you want to marry me?”
Su Ting immediately shook his head in denial, “Of course not!”
Gu Dai persisted, “If that’s not the case, then why did you say we need more time before getting married? I think we already know each other well enough without needing more time to become familiar.”
Su Ting, hearing this, instinctively nodded in agreement, “You’re right.”
With that, Gu Dai took Su Ting’s hand and they hurried outside. They drove quickly to the civil affairs office and swiftly completed all the necessary procedures. Holding a red marriage certificate each, they stepped out.
Gu Dai looked Su Ting over and, finding no faults in his appearance, took out his phone to snap a few photos of them together. After several attempts, still feeling something was missing, she finally figured it out and commanded, “Smile.”
Su Ting, feeling a bit unreal, was dazed but upon hearing Gu Dai, he instinctively broke into a smile.
Satisfied with the photo of their beaming smiles, Gu Dai nodded and sent it out.
Netizens, seeing the photo of Gu Dai and Su Ting, along with their marriage certificates, were stunned. After a long pause, they erupted into intense discussions.
“Has some fan gone too far, not only photoshopping their marriage photos but also hacking Miss Gu’s account?”
“Is it possible that Miss Gu posted this herself?”
“I’d more likely believe we’ve colonized Mars than believe that Miss Gu herself posted this.”
With a light chuckle, Gu Dai tapped on the screen, sending another message.
Gu Dai: No hack here, it’s really me. We just got married.
As the message went out, the entire internet exploded.
“OMG, it’s really her!”
“One second I was hoping they would get married, and the next, it actually happened.”
“I always wondered who would end up with Su Ting until I saw Miss Gu. I knew then. I would have been forever regretful if they hadn’t gotten together.”
“I’m so happy for them, but it still feels so unreal, like I’m dreaming. I need to take a moment.”
“Me too!”
“And me!”
Even Su Ting needed a moment to confirm if this was a dream. “We… got married?”
Gu Dai nodded, “Yes.”
After her confirmation, she realized something and narrowed her eyes slightly, asking, “You said just now you wanted to marry me. Are you thinking of backing out now?”
Su Ting shook his head vigorously, “Of course not, I’ve dreamed of marrying you, there’s no way I’d reconsider.”
Gu Dai hadn’t forgotten what Su Ting had said back at the office. “If you’ve dreamed of marrying me, why were you hesitant earlier?”
In a soft voice, Su Ting explained, “I thought you didn’t want to marry me.”
Gu Dai was taken aback, “Why would you think that?”
Su Ting embraced Gu Dai, his voice filled with a plaintive tone, “You had no expression on your face; I thought you didn’t want to marry me. I was so heartbroken.”
Realizing her own oversight, Gu Dai replied, “It’s not that I didn’t want to marry you; I was just thinking about when we should get married..”
