They did not want to wait until later in the afternoon, so John took Nina to Sam's house on Stone Road to get his household register.
The moment the two household registers were in his hands, he felt his soul warming up.
Afraid that Nina's household register was fake, John quickly checked hers to make sure. Only then was he able to heave a sigh of relief.
"The household register is real,"
Nina said with a smile. "My dad stole it for me! There's no way of it being a fake."
"I owe it to my father-in-law. He's a good man!" John said with gratitude.
Nina's father was obviously a good man who loved her with all his heart.
However, her father managed to get the household register quite easily. Nina had not thought about it back then, and she now felt that it was a bit odd.
'Was it really that easy?' she thought to herself.
"I think my mom let him steal it. She was just pretending to not know about it." If that had not been the case, there was no way that her mother still had not found out.
Her mother was a very smart woman, so Nina was certain that she would have found out about it the very next day.
John was moved by her words. "I think that my mother-in-law is just as good a person as my father-in-law. We must not disappoint them, right? So, why don't we go to the studio and take some photos. Then, we can get our marriage licenses."
Looking up at the antique clock on the wall, Nina asked, "You want to go now? It's not even 1 p.m. yet. The photographers must be on their lunch break."
"They're young. I am sure that they want to make good money more than eating or sleeping." Saying that, John lifted Nina up and walked out. Nina wanted to protest, but did not.
She was speechless when she saw him so determined to get married.
She had never seen John being so anxious. Even when they would have sex, he was always so patient.
John was tall, so he walked quite fast, which made Nina, who he was carrying on his shoulders, feel uncomfortable.
"Put me down, John. Why are you in such a hurry? Don't you know that being hasty only causes more trouble?"
However, John did not stop until he reached his car, opened the door and put Nina on the passenger seat. He fastened the seat belt for her before he sat down in the driver's seat.
"We will only end up failing if we're too slow." After fastening his seat belt, he turned around and kissed her. "Good girl, now stay put."
He looked even more handsome at this moment,
even though he was really anxious.
Although he was really focused on driving, he would lift up an eyebrow and glance at Nina, secretly laughing inwardly.
Nina touched her forehead and smiled in silence throughout the rest of their journey.
John stopped the car right outside of Caroline Yu's studio. He then got out and carried Nina in his arms as he walked in.
Caroline Yu was in her late twenties, but she was already an established international fashion photographer, who had just finished shooting for a famous celebrity that October. She was just about to take rest that afternoon when she received a call from John's assistant informing her that John would be coming to her studio to click photos for the marriage licenses.
The moment Caroline heard that they wanted the photos to be taken that afternoon itself, she thought of turning down the job.
However, one million dollars were transferred to her bank account within just a second, making her thoughts of refusal go away.
"Caroline, aren't your hands sore? Why do you still have the camera in your hands? Why don't you go and get some rest? I will clean up the studio for you," her assistant insisted.
Putting the camera away, Caroline sat down on the couch, massaging her wrists. "You can clean up later. A client is coming now."
"What? Why didn't they make an appointment with me first?" her assistant asked. He was a kind-hearted young man, who saw how tired Caroline was, and poured her a glass of cold water.
Caroline took it from his hands and gulped it down. "There is a reason for that. By the way, when is my junior coming to work? My master said that he would not be accepting any more fresh graduates, but then, he ended up accepting Michelle straight into the second year."
Caroline smiled and showed her assistant the empty glass. He quickly refilled it with more cold water.
"She'll be here tomorrow. I've already set up her office. It would be right next to yours."
"Since Michelle will be here from tomorrow, I would not have to do as much work." Saying that, Caroline stretched her neck muscles.
"How free do you think you will be, Caroline? All of our clients want you. You can't just ask someone else to do your job, right?" her assistant reminded her.
