Jasmine was very anxious. After she had entered the room, she noticed that Boyce was really there and then directed her gaze towards the Director of the Department of Investigation who sat in front of the table.
It was obvious that he was the person who had been interrogating Boyce.
She didn’t say any unnecessary words and got to the point. She questioned, “Is there a law which states that university students cannot get married?”
The director replied, “…No.”
“Is there a law which states that couples with big age differences between them cannot get married?”
The director replied, “…No.”
Jasmine asked again, “Is there a law which states that government officers cannot get married to university students?”
The director replied, “Erm… As long as their ages are suitable and the two of them are in love, nobody can interfere with their decision to get married, except for their parents.”
Jasmine took out their marriage certificate and handed the director the marriage certificate, “Is it illegal that Boyce and I get married?”
The director didn’t reply to her question.
“Jasmine.” Boyce walked up to her and pulled her, “Don’t be agitated.”
“How can I not be agitated? On what basis have they arrested you? You have worked diligently. Why should you be slandered?” Jasmine still remembered the awful words that those people had said when he was taken away.
“He and I have gotten married. Is this considered a problem of inappropriate conduct? Doesn’t he have the right to get married?” Jasmine’s words were sharp.
The director smiled, “I am very sorry. We didn’t investigate this clearly. Actually, we asked Mr. Shawn to come over so that he can answer our questions. Mr. Shawn has already explained the situation.”
He showed the marriage certificate that was provided by Boyce to her, “You can see that we have already known that he and you are a legally married couple. There are no problems of inappropriate conduct.”
Jasmine looked at the marriage certificate in his hand, raised her head and looked at Boyce. Her face inexplicably reddened. Actually, he had already explained the situation.
‘Even so, I still said a lot of things here.’
‘I feel so embarrassed all of a sudden.’
Boyce took the marriage certificate from the director and handed it to Jasmine, “You should also keep mine too.”
Jasmine lowered her head.
The director smiled, “You have a strong personality. You did this because of your husband. Don’t feel embarrassed. Your intentions are honorable.”
Boyce put his arm around Jasmine’s shoulder, “She never dealt with this kind of situation before. She is quite shocked…”
“I see that she is very brave,” the director said and had a smile on his face.
“I was too anxious. I don’t want him to get into trouble because of me,” Jasmine said.
The director chuckled, “Okay.” He extended his hand in Boyce’s direction, “You must invite me to the wedding ceremony.”
Boyce said that he would definitely do it.
After exchanging greetings, they left the Department of Investigation.
Jasmine and Boyce interlocked their fingers. She said, “I was really shocked.”
Boyce consoled her, “Everything is fine now.”
He never thought that Jasmine would come there so soon.
He knew that she was really worried about him.
His gaze towards Jasmine became softer.
