Chapter 880 Obtaining the Marriage Certificate

"You still need to learn?" Huo Zhizhou didn't mince words.

Huo Sinian knew he was referring to Lin Tan: "She's different from the other people in the company."

Huo Zhizhou's eyes were light: "You haven't given up yet?"

Huo Sinian: "You mean Lin Tan?"

Huo Zhizhou didn't respond, which was an implicit agreement.

“She means the same thing to me as Jiang Ruan means to you.” Since what happened before, Huo Sinian no longer hid his feelings from Huo Zhizhou. “Either we never met, or once we did, we would never let go.”

"If you cared so much, why didn't you admit it back then?" Huo Zhizhou said bluntly.

Although Lin Tan wanted to escape Huo Sinian back then, she didn't hate him much; at most, she was afraid of his power.

If you pursue this person diligently back then, you might just have a good outcome.

Now--

“We can’t let her become a weakness like Jiang Ruan.” Huo Sinian is a very rational person. “You were eyeing her covetously back then, and Father isn’t a pushover either. There’s no benefit in admitting her.”

Huo Zhizhou: "If you don't touch Jiang Ruan, I won't touch her."

Huo Siqing chuckled, "But I won't gamble."

He had witnessed firsthand how ruthless his younger brother could be, and seen the fate of those who dared to cross him. He couldn't guarantee that if he were to vie for power with him, his brother wouldn't drag Lin Tan into the conflict.

His father would never agree to him being with someone with no background.

Once they found out, Lin Tan knew there was only one outcome.

certainly.

Most importantly, he couldn't allow Lin Tan to interfere with his major undertaking to seize power.

"So you're telling me all this now, aren't you afraid I'll use her to make you hand over what you have?" Huo Zhizhou's tone rose slightly, and the relationship between the two became much more harmonious.

Huo Sinian: "You won't."

Huo Zhizhou: "What if?"

Huo Sinian adjusted his glasses and a slight smile curved his lips: "Go ahead and do it. If anything goes wrong with her, I will use all my power to avenge her."

"You really haven't changed at all." Huo Zhizhou understood his unspoken meaning.

Even if he uses Lin Tan as a threat, he will not relinquish his power.

But he will do everything in his power to avenge Lin Tan and seek justice.

“I just know what losing those things means,” Huo Sinian said. “People like you and me, when we fall from a high position, will have plenty of people to drag us down. At that time, let alone protect her, we can’t even protect ourselves.”

Huo Zhizhou did not respond.

From a certain perspective, Huo Sinian's words were not wrong.

When you have nothing, you can only risk your life to protect the people you care about.

But one can only have one life.

"Are you free? Let's grab a bite to eat." Huo Sinian steered the conversation back on track.

"Let's skip the meal." Huo Zhizhou knew why he had come to him and gave him the answer. "As long as no one dies, I won't interfere in your struggle with Qin Mo."

Huo Sinian said slowly and deliberately, "You really can't hide anything from me."

He can handle both the company and his father.

As long as his performance doesn't decline, no matter how much they gossip, they wouldn't dare say anything in front of him.

He was worried about Huo Zhizhou.

He's been hanging around Jiang Ruan's place every day now; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he's from the Qin family.

He wasn't really confident if he actually made a move.

Fortunately, he is still Huo Zhizhou.

"The meal is still on the menu." Huo Sinian felt a weight lifted from his heart. "Tell me what you want to eat, and I'll arrange it."

Huo Zhizhou: "Mm."

Huo Sinian was about to hang up the phone.

Huo Zhizhou gave him a piece of advice: "Liking someone doesn't necessarily mean possessing them; sometimes letting go is better."

Huo Sinian: "Come say that to me again when you've let go of Jiang Ruan."

"Aren't you afraid of a fight to the death?" Huo Zhizhou asked a few more questions.

"That's fine too." Huo Sinian remained unchanged.

Huo Zhizhou didn't try to persuade him any further.

He and Huo Sinian were essentially the same kind of people; once they grasped something, they wouldn't let go, even if it meant getting hurt in the process. The difference was that he was more afraid of something happening to Jiang Ruan than keeping her by his side.

The call ended.

Huo Zhizhou went to wash up and go to bed, while Huo Sinian was planning everything.

Even before going to bed, he had Secretary Ye buy a small island abroad.

Time passed little by little.

Monday arrived in the blink of an eye.

Lin Tan got up early in the morning to wash up, and Qin Mo came to pick her up just as she finished putting on her makeup.

He handed her a bouquet of flowers and asked her before leaving, "Are you really sure?"

Lin Tan: "Mm."

Qin Mo took her hand: "Okay."

The two got into the car together and headed to the Civil Affairs Bureau.

Lin Tan felt a little uneasy on the way there.

Although she hadn't informed anyone about this incident, she was still afraid that Huo Sinian might suddenly rush out to stop her, or find someone to create an accident.

"What's wrong?" Qin Mo noticed that her hands were a little cold and asked with concern.

"It's nothing." Lin Tan pursed her lips and changed her mood before saying, "I don't know if there are many people at the Civil Affairs Bureau. If there are, I'm afraid I won't be able to sign the contract with Director Ning in time."

"Don't worry, I've had the area cleared out." Considering the special nature of her work, Qin Mo said directly, "For the next half hour, it will only be us there, so you can get it as soon as you go."

Lin Tan felt a little relieved.

Everything went very smoothly after that.

After they arrived, they filled out forms, had their photos taken, registered, and received their certificates. The whole process only took about ten minutes.

Lin Tan's tense heart finally settled down after she received the marriage certificate.

Qin Mo was also relieved.

Looking at the perfectly matched couple on the marriage certificate, it felt like a dream.

"Okay, you go to work, I'll go sign the contract." Lin Tan stuffed the marriage certificate into her pocket, feeling much more relaxed. "I'll let you know after I sign it."

Qin Mo couldn't hide his joy: "Okay."

Lin Tan waved and prepared to leave.

Qin Mo grabbed her arm.

Lin Tan stopped, looking at him blankly: "What's wrong?"

"I'll take you to get the ring custom-made after you're done with your work." Qin Mo realized he was still missing a lot after getting the marriage certificate. "And the wedding, I'll prepare for that too."

"It's alright, no rush," Lin Tan said. Seeing that her assistant and agent's car had arrived, she said goodbye, "I'm leaving now."

Qin Mo wanted to say something more, but Lin Tan had already gotten into the car.

As the car drove further and further away, Qin Mo felt increasingly guilty.

It's fine if there's no formal proposal.

They didn't even prepare a ring.

The more I think about it...

The more emotions Qin Mo felt, the more he decided to carefully prepare everything and protect her properly.

As for Lin Tan...

After getting into the car, he received glances from his agent Jin Yue and assistant Xiao Feng.

Jin Yue simply replied, "Received it?"

Lin Tan felt a little guilty: "Yes."

Although I told my agent about it on the phone a couple of days ago, I still feel that this behavior was too sudden.

Don't mention agents.

She herself didn't expect to get her marriage certificate with Qin Mo so quickly.

“I’ve already spoken to the boss.” Jin Yue is a very capable person. “Given your current situation, the company has decided not to deliberately create a single persona for you.”

Lin Tan had no objection to this.

“You’re not an idol, so your fans are mostly career-oriented,” Jin Yue said. “As long as you continue to act well, there shouldn’t be any major problems.”

"I will work hard and live up to your and the company's expectations," Lin Tan said.

Jin Yue didn't speak, but looked at her with some doubt.

Lin Tan looked somewhat bewildered: "What's wrong?"

Jin Yue was direct with her: "You're getting your marriage certificate with President Qin, what about President Huo?"

Based on what happened last time, President Huo isn't someone who gives up easily. If there's another fight, dispute, or mudslinging, things could get complicated.

“I didn’t tell him,” Lin Tan said without hiding anything, “but he probably already knows.”

With Huo Sinian's extensive network of information, he would definitely find out in the shortest amount of time.

Huo Sinian did indeed find out.

Since he was unable to return to Gyeongju, he changed the meeting to a video conference.

Not long after the meeting started, Secretary Ye called out to him with a complicated expression, "Boss."

Huo Sinian glanced sideways.

Secretary Ye glanced at the ongoing video conference.

Huo Sinian turned off his microphone and parted his thin lips slightly: "What is it?"

"The person keeping an eye on Miss Lin Tan sent a message saying that Miss Lin Tan went to the Civil Affairs Bureau with Qin Mo." Secretary Ye said this with her heart pounding. "They even got their marriage certificate ten minutes ago."
