Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Serenity was too excited last night so she couldn’t sleep. When her alarm rang, she got out of bed and brushed her teeth. Then, her phone rang. She quickly rinsed her mouth and left the bathroom.

When she saw the name displayed on the screen, she picked it up in confusion. Why was Gabriel calling her so early in the morning?

A deep voice entered her ears through the receiver, carrying a magnetic tension. “Still sleeping?”

The seductive voice early in the morning made her a little happier. “I’m already awake. I was washing up just now, so it took some time for me to pick up your call.”

Gabriel was already sitting in the dining room, eating as he listened to her crisp and melodious voice that carried the vitality of youth. His mood improved. “Remember to bring your ID.”

Serenity nodded and quickly realized he would not have been able to see. She said, “You’ve reminded me many times since yesterday.”

“I’m afraid you’ll forget.” Gabriel’s lips.

Serenity took the phone away from her ear in horror and stared at the screen for a few seconds. She then put the phone back to her ear and asked in disbelief, “Are you smiling?”

Gabriel looked out of the French window and said, “The weather is good today. It’s suitable for marriage registration.”

There was an important meeting this morning, so Gabriel had to finish the meeting first before bringing Serenity to the Civil Affairs Bureau.

During the meeting, Gabriel sat at the front of the long oval table as the senior leaders summarized their department’s performance for the month.

Gabriel leaned against the back of the chair, his right index finger tapping the table rhythmically. He had not paid attention to a single word from the beginning of the meeting, but his expression was calm. No one could tell that he was daydreaming.

Only Caleb, who was jotting down the minutes of the meeting next to him could tell. Gabriel had been looking at his watch from time to time. Caleb could tell Gabriel’s mind was elsewhere.

After the marketing manager finished his lengthy report, Gabriel stood up and said, “Meeting dismissed.”

Before anyone could react, Gabriel had already stepped out of the meeting room. Caleb closed his notebook and followed him out.

As the rest got up to leave, the manager of the planning department and the higher-up sitting next to them stared at each other. They had not reported their portion yet.

Gabriel went back to his office and took out his documents from the drawer. As he walked past Serenity on his way out, he knocked on her desk with his fingers. “Bring your things and follow me.”

Serenity’s fingers that were typing on the keyboard paused. She then realized what he meant, saved the document she was working on, and grabbed her bag before chasing after Gabriel in front of everyone.

After getting into the car, she softly said, “Why do we have to go now? We could have done it after work.”

Gabriel looked at her as if he doubted her intelligence. “After work, the Civil Affairs Bureau will be closed.”

“But…everyone will be suspicious of us now.”

Although she would sometimes go out with Gabriel because of work matters, it was different this time. Her identification documents were in her bag which she had to bring with her since her work clothes did not have pockets. Why would anyone bring their entire bag out with them for a work meeting?

“Suspect what?” Gabriel looked at her from the corner of his eyes.

She bit her lip and said, “Suspect that I have an improper relationship with you.”

Gabriel replied with a faint ‘oh’ and raised his arm to take a look at his watch. “About forty minutes later, this will become a legitimate relationship, so you don’t have to worry about that.”

Serenity was speechless.

Caleb was driving and couldn’t hold back his laughter. When he felt a cold gaze from behind him, he immediately stopped and focused on driving..
