This holiday has never felt so unbearable for Mu Wangbei.

I want every day to pass by faster.

Therefore, he goes to bed very late every night and sleeps until noon the next day, so that the day only lasts half a day and passes by quickly.

Last year's annual friend gathering was canceled because he couldn't make it.

This year, Mu Wangbei postponed it again, saying it would be fine to postpone it until after the Spring Festival or before the Lantern Festival.

In short, he didn't have a single day before the eighth day of the lunar new year.

Chi Mo was puzzled and asked in the group chat, "Beizi, what exactly are you busy with?"

Jiang Chengyun, who desperately needed some fresh air, complained, "I'm married and I have to go to Shenyang on the second day of the Lunar New Year, and I don't dare say I'm this busy? What exactly are you busy with?"

Mu Wangbei scoffed, "You're not worth mentioning."

Jiang Chengyun exploded, sending a meme of someone rolling up their sleeves and ready to fight in the group chat, full of hostility: "You better give me a straight answer, how am I not worth mentioning?"

"Uncle Tan lectured you again, didn't he? Just stay put in Shencheng and come back the night before you go to work."

Jiang Chengyun: ...

He did want to use the legitimate excuse of a get-together with his buddies to return to Beicheng early. Every day in Shencheng, seeing Tan Zifeng's droopy face made him lose his appetite.

How can a father-in-law be so preachy?

How did he end up in this mess?

He finally made it to the eighth day of the new year and asked his boss for leave early in the morning, saying that he wanted to get his marriage certificate.

The director was quite surprised. He knew that Mu Wangbei had a girlfriend he was dating well, but he had never heard of them getting married so soon. The Mu family should have made some progress in finding a granddaughter-in-law, so how come they got their marriage certificate on his first day of work?

The director even had some doubts: could this 29-year-old deputy director, who had just been promoted, have secretly gotten his marriage certificate without telling his family?

After all, nowadays, you don't even need a household registration certificate to get married.

He congratulated him three times, saying there was no rush, it was a big day, and he could take a day off.

Fang Youxi was woken up by Mu Wangbei early in the morning; the Spring Festival holiday had messed up her biological clock.

She forgot to tell Lu Yanli that she had to go to the company this afternoon.

The two were picking out white shirts in the dressing room.

Mu Wangbei asked, "Have you asked the company for leave? I just called our director."

"Hmm." Fang Youxi was still sleepy and her mind was a little foggy.

"I told our department head that I wanted to get my marriage certificate."

"Um."

"Shouldn't you also give a reason, so people don't say why you're taking leave on your first day of work? You need to have a legitimate reason, otherwise it's not appropriate."

Fang Youxi realized at this moment that this person was subtly reminding her that he wanted her to tell Lu Yanli that they were getting their marriage certificate today.

Petty and cunning to the extreme.

I only saw his good points before: he was upright, handsome, had a good temper, and was emotionally stable...

Only now have I realized that Mu Wangbei is petty, stubborn, inflexible, and cunning.

Dating and marriage are really quite different.

When you're in love, all you see are pink bubbles; once you get your marriage certificate, all you see are flaws.

Mu Wangbei urged from the side, "Let's play one!"

Fang Youxi changed into a white shirt, went to get her phone, and sent Lu Yanli a message: "Something came up, I'll be at the company later."

Lu Yanli, unsuspecting, replied with "OK".

At ten o'clock, the two set off on time, with Mu Wangbei humming a song the whole way.

Fang Youxi could sense his excitement and smiled, "Are you that happy?"

"After we get the marriage certificate, give me yours for safekeeping."

"Why should I? One for each person, I'll keep them myself, I don't need your help."

"Tsk, you're so forgetful, don't lose it. You can manage the money, but I'll manage the license."

Fang Youxi: ...

There weren't many people getting their marriage certificates today; probably no one was in such a rush as they were. They arrived as soon as the Civil Affairs Bureau reopened.

The process is quick, and there are currently no fees for marriage registration.

Fang Youxi, holding the red marriage certificate, asked Mu Wangbei, "You don't want a single penny?"

Mu Wangbei only glanced at them at first, then put both certificates into the pocket of his suit jacket and replied, "We used to charge a nine-yuan processing fee, but not anymore."

Fang Youxi chuckled: "Does our great motherland think that people aren't getting married because they can't afford nine yuan?"

Mu Wangbei glared at her, but Fang Youxi, holding his arm, quickly changed the subject: "It's because not every man is as handsome and outstanding as my Prosecutor Mu."

The two embraced at the marriage registration office, and Mu Wangbei kissed Fang Youxi's forehead reverently: "My wish has come true, thank you, my Tangtang."

Fang Youxi returned his kiss: "My Prosecutor Mu, please take care of me from now on."

Many things cannot be understood in an instant.

Instant happiness,

I don't want to wait.

I don't want to look to the future from the foot of endless mountains.

All I know is that the water will grow cold, the wind will stop, and spring will never return.

Life is about enjoying the moment.

Tomorrow is too far away.

I want it now!

Fang Youxi didn't want to anticipate difficulties in the distant future. At this moment, she was happy, and that was enough!

A few words from the author:

The novel "The Accusation of Not Marrying" has concluded with 410,000 words!

Many readers have left comments for me, hoping that Tangtang will not change her original intention and must stick to her stance of not getting married.

My dear sister, whether a person chooses not to marry, to get married, or even to get divorced, it is all for the sake of happiness.

There is no right or wrong in these three states; as long as it benefits oneself, it is all right.

Among the several women in the article, Fang Tangtang represents the free-spirited new-era woman who is self-centered, clear-headed, confident, sensitive inside but always outwardly optimistic.

Yun Qiao is like a girl who has stumbled into a wealthy circle. The allure of wealth blinds her, and she loses her true self. Many small-town girls who come to a big city for the first time inevitably experience this: timid, somewhat insecure, and desperately wanting to fit in. But acceptance in any circle requires you to exchange your own value for it—that's the stark reality.

Tan Jia was born into privilege; she can be willful and choose whoever she wants, even if she suffers setbacks. She has the resources to learn from her mistakes and the capital to start over. This is her reason for daring to be willful. It's certainly unfair, but it's an undeniable fact.

Peng Shu had a deeply unforgettable love affair, but she compromised with reality and accepted an arranged marriage. However, she was lucky to meet a man who was a good person. So even if there is no love at the beginning, we should choose a man who is a good person, not because of his good family background, good conditions, or good looks, but because he is a good person. His character determines the lower limit of this marriage. Because he is a good person, life will not be too bad if you follow him.

Love and marriage are topics that can never be fully resolved; there are no standard answers, and everything depends on individual understanding.

May you have the courage to take a step forward, and the composure to take a step back.

Irvin D. Yalom wrote in "A Day in the Life": Pure love and fearless courage are irreplaceable.

So, while we can still love, let's love bravely!

Thank you to all the readers who enjoyed this book. May the future be bright and boundless, and may we meet again in the next book!

I will always love you all!
