LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 325: He looked quietly and tenderly at the woman who is now his wife. (1)
Su Ran had thought that leaving at 6 AM would be a little too early but, when she got out of the car in front of the Civil Affairs Bureau, she realized that that was not the case at all. It wasn’t even 7 AM yet, and there was already a long line outside the Civil Affairs Bureau.
“So many people?” Su Ran was genuinely surprised.
Especially the couple that was standing at the very front. They didn’t come standing in line since the night before, did they?
“Mmm. It is a good day today.” Lu Shao explained to Su Han with his lips curved.
What he didn’t tell Su Ran was that he, too, had someone checked the dates.
Lu Shao was never a superstitious one but, this time, he didn’t mind the nice suggestion.
“I’ve made an appointment ahead of time. You can rest in the car for now. We can just walk straight inside when the door opens,” said Lu Shao.
Su Ran was taken aback a little when she heard him.
Why did they have to come so early if he had made an appointment?
But, looking at the solemn look on Lu Shao, Su Ran finally stopped herself from asking that question.
“What would you like for breakfast? I will go and get them.”
Su Ran really wanted to tell Lu Shao that she was not in the habit of having breakfast so early.
Su Ran didn’t usually get up until a long time after Su Han had left for school.
Nevertheless, thinking that Lu Shao hadn’t had breakfast either, she asked, “What about you?”
“What?”
“What time do you usually have breakfast?”
“Around 8:30.”
“Then let’s eat afterward,” said Su Ran after some thought.
“Okay.” Lu Shao nodded. He liked how she said “us” a lot.
The inside of the car went silent after the conversation was over.
It wasn’t so much that it was awkward, but there was a bit of…… anxiety in the air?
“Em, let me reapply my makeup then,” said Su Ran as she reflexively avoided Lu Shao’s look. She really pulled out her makeup bag and focused on reapplying her makeup.
It was their wedding photo after all. Of course she needed to look delicate inside.
“Xiao Ran,” said Lu Shao all of a sudden.
“Huh? What?” Su Ran, who was reapplying her lipstick, looked up when she heard herself called. She then saw Lu Shao looking at her with a very focused and deep look without blinking his eyes.
To be more precise, he was looking at the scar on her forehead.
He was unconscious that night but the information that he had received later on was accurate.
Su Ran got her scar that very night.
“Was that because of me?” asked Lu Shao, his voice a little hoarse from him trying to suppress it.
He had been wanting to ask this for a while now but never had the courage to bring it up.
Su Ran was taken aback a little by his question. She reflexively reached up and touched her scar.
“Oh, this……”
It wasn’t her own experience after all. Su Ran would not say that the scar came with the horrible memory that belonged to the original owner.
Besides, the scar really didn’t bother Su Ran much.
Except that, considering that they will be having their wedding photo taken today, Su Ran had applied foundation to cover up the scar today. It was barely visible right now.
Su Ran hadn’t expected Lu Shao to bring this up all of a sudden.
She shook her head.
“No, not you.” Su Ran looked over at Lu Shao and said definitely, “It was from before……”
She didn’t need to go on. Both of them knew what was before that.
Lu Shao’s eyes shrank a little.
“I’m sorry,” said Lu Shao to Su Ran very apologetically.
Regardless of whether he was the one who caused the scar, the fact was that Su Ran was with him. Had he not left and paid Su Ran some more attention, the scar would not have happened, nor would she had experienced what had followed.
SMACK!
Lu Shao had reflexively lifted his arm, wanting to touch the scar on Su Ran but his hand was smacked away by Su Ran.
“Don’t touch! I had to apply three layers of foundation for this current effect!” said Su Ran very “solemnly”.
The scar was, after all, quite deep and was not easy to cover it up.
She didn’t even dare go over it when she was reapplying her makeup. She worried that powder would get inside or she would straight up mess it up.
Having said that, Su Ran looked over at Lu Shao, who was obviously a little stunned, gave him a tender smile and said, “It was not your fault. It didn’t really affect me much.”
“I just think of it as a reminder for my stupid days when I was young.” Su Ran smiled without being bothered by it.
