Chapter 23 - 23 0023 Yanyan is My Life!

23: Chapter 0023: Yanyan is My Life! 23: Chapter 0023: Yanyan is My Life! Su Ziyan’s mother, Xiang Xiaowan, and Qiao Anran were sworn sisters; the two were inseparable, and every time Su Ziyan saw Qiao Anran, she was reminded of her own mother. Su Ziyan’s absence wasn’t out of heartlessness, but rather because she was afraid to meet her. This was naturally understood by Qiao Anran as well. Qiao Anran hugged Su Ziyan tightly, gently patting her pale back.

It’s good that you’re married now; someone else can take care of you for me.” “Godmother, from now on, I shouldn’t let you take care of Yanyan anymore; Yanyan should be taking care of you.” Su Ziyan wiped her tears and lifted her head. “Yes, Godmother, from now on, Yanyan and I will come together to take care of you.” Qin Yu stepped forward and bowed respectfully to Qiao Anran. Only then did Qiao Anran turn her head to look at Qin Yu. At first, her expression was indifferent, but as Qiao Anran’s gaze landed on the collar of Qin Yu’s shirt, her beautiful eyes froze. Qiao Anran’s expression turned somewhat serious as she closely examined the row of English letters on Qin Yu’s collar. Qiao Anran looked deeply at Qin Yu. Seeing Qiao Anran staring at Qin Yu with a meaningful gaze, Su Ziyan feared that Qiao Anran might spot a flaw. Su Ziyan quickly tugged on Qiao Anran’s arm. “Godmother, the man I found is handsome, isn’t he? Let’s get the marriage license first, and then I’ll let you have a good look at him.” “Alright, alright, let’s do the paperwork first. It’s not easy to find such an ideal gentleman, and if I were you, Yanyan, I too would be impatient.” Qiao Anran chuckled, then looked at Qin Yu again with deep meaning. Qin Yu was wearing a creation by the legendary master, surely he must be from a top-tier wealthy family! With Qin Yu there to protect Yanyan, she could rest easy. Qin Yu shrugged his shoulders, surprised that his newfound godmother had a good eye and could actually recognize where his suit came from. During a mission in the United Kingdom, Qin Yu saved the life of a hereditary Marquis. To thank Qin Yu, the Marquis personally designed a suit for him, which was the one he was wearing. Later on, Qin Yu learned that the Marquis held an esteemed position in the world of fashion design. Su Ziyan was puzzled, her godmother had always had such high standards, what was going on today? Why was she so pleased with Qin Yu? No, something must be wrong; was her godmother speaking ironically? Su Ziyan quickly explained, “Godmother, Qin Yu’s clothes are a bit shabby, but it’s not because he doesn’t have brand-name clothes. He’s a man who likes to keep a low profile, acting like a pig to eat a tiger.” “Low profile? I haven’t seen anything low profile about Qin Yu. In my eyes, he’s more high-profile than anyone else.” Qiao Anran gently shook her head. Wearing the work of that master, where was the low profile? The master didn’t offer his services lightly, even the Queen of England would have to make an appointment, and it depended on whether the master was in the mood. Hearing this, Su Ziyan was nearly frustrated to death; she was sure and certain that her godmother was definitely being ironic! Su Ziyan glared at Qin Yu with a look that blamed him. The expression clearly said, it’s all your fault for dressing so shabbily and making my godmother laugh at us, right? “Godmother, I know you don’t think highly of Qin Yu, but he’s the man I chose. I admit, he really isn’t very capable; he’s indeed very average, but I just like him! I want to marry him!” Qiao Anran was a bit confused; what was going on with Yanyan? This man was so outstanding, how could he be considered average? Seeing Qiao Anran with a baffled look on her face, Qin Yu struggled to hold back and coughed dryly. “Ahem, my dear Yanyan, your godmother isn’t against us, let’s go take our pictures.” Huh? Now it was Su Ziyan’s turn to be baffled. From Qiao Anran’s face, she saw a sincerely happy smile. Her godmother truly was very satisfied with her future son-in-law! What the heck was all this? Lost in confusion, Su Ziyan even forgot that Qin Yu had just called her “Yanyan darling,” and allowed him to pull her out of the marriage registration office, heading towards the photo studio. When they reached the photo studio, Qin Yu and Su Ziyan were stunned. What’s going on? The photo studio was locked? In their bafflement, Qiao Anran’s voice rang out from behind them. “Do you two need to be in such a hurry? The civil affairs bureau is already off work at this time. Looks like I’ll have to take on the role of the photographer myself. You two, go sit over there.” The two obediently sat down in front of the red background screen. “Smile for the camera. Look at the expression on your faces. Anyone who knows would think you’re getting married. Those who don’t would think you’re getting divorced.” Qiao Anran adjusted the camera and gave them both an annoyed glare. Qin Yu quickly flashed a grin, and Su Ziyan also gave a tight-lipped smile. “Just smiling won’t do, you need to be more affectionate.” Qiao Anran lifted her head again. Qin Yu was about to adore this stand-in mother of his; he quickly leaned his body towards Su Ziyan. Her lips quivering, Su Ziyan forcefully resisted the urge to kick Qin Yu away and sat quietly on the chair. “That’s not enough, get a bit closer.” Qiao Anran felt something was still missing between the two for some reason. “Stand-in mom, aren’t we close enough already? Su Ziyan was on the verge of losing her patience, with Qin Yu the sneaky rascal already pressing tightly against her body. How much closer could they possibly get? “I said to bring your heads closer, I want your cheeks to stick together!” Su Ziyan was about to protest, but how could Qin Yu give her a chance? He wrapped his arm around Su Ziyan’s slender waist, with force bringing their bodies intimately together. Qiao Anran had a great eye for the camera, capturing the moment perfectly. Click! An intimately close wedding photo was successfully produced. Angry enough to grind her teeth, Su Ziyan thought Qin Yu was such a scoundrel, brazenly taking advantage of her. Looks like she’d have to revise the marriage agreement when she got back. She would have to add a clause stating that, without the woman’s permission, the man must not touch her. Qiao Anran was the only staff member in the entire civil affairs bureau, so all procedures were expedited. In just half an hour, their marriage certificate was ready. “A match of talent and beauty, not bad at all.” Looking at the couple in the photo, Qiao Anran nodded continuously. After receiving the marriage certificate, Qin Yu was thrilled! Now, he truly was a man with a certificate! Now, Su little darling couldn’t escape from the palm of his hand! “Thank you, stand-in mom.” Qin Yu bowed sincerely to Qiao Anran. “Xiao Yu, I’m really at ease leaving Ziyan with you. You must treat her well in the future. Ziyan has had a hard life.” Qiao Anran’s tone was very serious; she truly regarded Su Ziyan as her daughter. “Don’t worry, stand-in mom, from now on, Ziyan is my life.” Qin Yu’s gaze was resolute. “Alright, you two can go. Remember to let me know when you have the wedding banquet.” Qiao Anran waved them off nonchalantly, but Qin Yu and Su Ziyan noticed her eyes had become moist. Qin Yu nodded firmly. “No problem, you must be the matron of honor then!”
