Chapter 141 needs to be moved up.
In the morning, Lin Shuyao and Cheng Zheng went to a meeting outside.
During the meeting, Lin Shuyao accidentally knocked over a teacup on the table, getting her clothes wet. She was originally going to go straight to dinner, but now she has to go back to the dormitory to change.
Cheng Zheng stayed with her.
As the two walked down to the dormitory building, they ran into Su Wan and her mother.
Su Wan was carrying a thermos. When she saw them, her smile froze for a moment. She turned her head away without saying a word, pretending not to see them.
Su's mother stared at Lin Shuyao for several moments, her gaze carefully scanning her face as if trying to identify something.
Lin Shuyao felt a little uneasy under her gaze.
I have a bad feeling about this.
She quickened her pace, tugged at Cheng Zheng's sleeve, and tried to get away from the two of them as soon as possible.
Before she could take a step, Su's mother suddenly moved closer and grabbed her arm: "Lin girl! You're Lin girl, aren't you?!"
This nickname was like a needle, precisely piercing Lin Shuyao's most sensitive nerve.
Her mind went blank for a moment, her breathing stopped, and she momentarily forgot how to express herself.
Upon hearing her mother's words, Su Wan stopped and stared at her, scrutinizing her.
Cheng Zheng was also looking at her.
Mother Su's voice continued, "Oh dear, when I saw you last time, I thought I had mistaken you for someone else. Do you remember me? I'm your Aunt Su. We met once at your great-aunt's house. Your great-aunt was even planning to arrange a marriage between you and my Daguo. Do you remember now?"
Lin Shuyao's heart sank to the bottom.
I never expected that Su Wan's mother would know the original owner of this body!
She had a vague recollection of someone, like Su Wan's mother.
No, we can't panic.
It absolutely must not be noticed!
At least not in this situation today.
Lin Shuyao gripped the bag strap tightly, her knuckles turning white, but her expression remained unchanged. She merely frowned slightly and gave a polite yet distant smile: "You've mistaken me for someone else. My surname isn't Lin."
Su's mother paused for a moment, then looked at her more closely, her gaze lingering on her features: "Not surnamed Lin? Then you are...?"
"That's Shen Qing!" Su Wan said coldly from the side, pulling her mother's arm and speaking impatiently, "Mom, let's go, we still need to go to the hospital to see Hu Zi."
Before Su's mother could say anything more, Su Wan had already pulled her outside, muttering as she walked, "I clearly remember that girl, she looks exactly the same, even her voice is the same..."
Lin Shuyao stood there, her heart pounding like a drum.
She instinctively put her hands behind her back, her nails digging into her palms, forcing herself to steady her breathing.
She could feel Cheng Zheng's gaze on her face, tinged with confusion.
Afraid of being discovered, she could only try to distract him, subtly taking a breath, then turning her head to give him a radiant smile:
"Cheng Zheng, actually, there's something I wanted to tell you today. I've been thinking about it all the way here, and I was just about to speak when I was interrupted. I've made up my mind about our marriage."
Sure enough, upon hearing this, the confusion in Cheng Zheng's eyes was instantly replaced by tension.
He looked at her expectantly, his Adam's apple bobbing slightly, waiting for her next words.
As he wished, Lin Shuyao said, word by word, "I promise you, we'll get married."
Cheng Zheng's pupils dilated slightly, and a variety of emotions surged in his eyes, first disbelief, then ecstasy, and finally a burning, almost overflowing light.
He suddenly reached out and picked Lin Shuyao up, spun her around, and then held her tightly in his arms, as if he wanted to meld her into his very bones.
Are you serious?
"You really said yes, baby?"
Even someone as calm and strong as him had a slightly trembling voice at this moment.
"Put me down!" Lin Shuyao cried out as he lifted her feet off the ground, lightly pounding his shoulders with her hands. She looked around, "This is the dormitory entrance, there are people here!"
"What's wrong with someone?" Cheng Zheng put her down, but his hand was still around her waist. A smug smile played on his lips. "I'm holding my wife, who cares?"
Lin Shuyao's ears burned, and she pushed him away, saying, "Who's your wife? We haven't even registered our marriage yet."
"I'll go pick it up tomorrow."
Cheng Zheng looked down at her, his gaze intense, as if trying to etch her entire being into his eyes. His voice was urgent, "No, we have to go now. The Civil Affairs Bureau is still open!"
Lin Shuyao's initial agreement to marry him was merely a delaying tactic. She neither dared nor wanted to marry him so quickly; she wanted to enjoy a sweet and loving relationship with him for a while longer. Marriage meant the return of the female lead, which meant she would have to run away.
She doesn't want to leave so soon; she's a little reluctant to part with him.
Lin Shuyao felt a pang of sadness, but she couldn't show it. She had to keep up a smile, and she tried to raise the corners of her lips as she reached out and poked his chest: "Cheng Zheng, calm down."
I can't calm down.
Cheng Zheng took her hand, kissed it, and said in a low voice, filled with barely suppressed joy, "Baby, I've waited so long for this day. You know that."
Lin Shuyao lowered her eyes, and the smile on her lips slowly faded.
Thinking about how to stall for time, she carefully considered her words and softened her voice: "Chengzheng, I think we should tell your parents before we get our marriage certificate. After all, they are your parents."
"Besides, my situation is already awkward. If I secretly get the marriage certificate with you, they will definitely have even more complaints about me. We'll be family from now on, and I still need to have contact with them. You have to think about me."
She analyzed it for him word by word.
Cheng Zheng listened with a furrowed brow.
He's currently having a cold war with his parents over this, and if he tells them, things will definitely get worse; they would absolutely not agree.
But his wife is right. If they get the marriage certificate first and ask for permission later, since he is their biological son, they naturally won't really do anything to him, but they might transfer their dissatisfaction to his wife.
His wife will be caught in the middle and have a difficult time.
After thinking for a few seconds, he nodded: "Okay. I'll listen to the baby."
Lin Shuyao smiled and said, "Then go back and tell them today."
Cheng Zheng wasn't entirely sure: "What if they still don't agree?"
Lin Shuyao knew they wouldn't agree, so she reassured them, "Then let's wait a little longer. I believe you'll convince them as soon as possible. After all, they are your parents, and I still hope to get married with their consent."
"Okay," Cheng Zheng agreed.
Lin Shuyao looked at his handsome face with its distinct features, and the countdown in her heart started ticking.
Getting the marriage certificate means the female lead's return is getting closer.
Adding to the surprise, we encountered Su Wan's mother today.
The escape plan needs to be brought forward.
