Shen Zhengfeng said, "As long as you two get along, that’s all that matters. Tomorrow, I’ll book the biggest private room at a restaurant and invite our friends and family. I’ll officially introduce you and Xiao Feng then. Oh, right, let’s go get our marriage license first thing in the morning."
The two of them had never registered their marriage. That was why Li Xiaoi had been doing everything she could to please Shen Zhengfeng and his family. But now, hearing they would just hastily get their license without even a wedding, she felt a little unhappy.
But she didn’t say it directly, worried that Shen Zhengfeng would be displeased. She gave a gentle smile. "I’ll go along with whatever you arrange."
Li Xiaoi was so sensible and gentle. Shen Zhengfeng thought for a mont and said, "Right, let’s have Xiao Feng learn to drive. I’ll buy him a car so it’ll be more convenient for him to get to school."
The smile on Li Xiaoi’s face widened. She quickly said, "Oh, but he just started school. He doesn’t need a car."
"How could the son of Shen Zhengfeng not have a car to drive?"
After all, the profits from the clothing factory over the next four years were more than enough to buy his son a car.
This ti, Li Xiaoi was genuinely happy. She ca over and massaged Shen Zhengfeng’s shoulders, asking casually, as if it had just occurred to her, "By the way, Zhengfeng, do we have a courtyard house? I see quite a few of them here in North City. I’ve never lived in one, so I wonder if they’re like the houses back in our hotown."
When she ntioned courtyard houses, Shen Zhengfeng said dismissively, "They’re just like the houses back ho. The view isn’t as open as it is in a high-rise. We had a few, but I sold them all for cash flow. If you like them, I’ll buy you one at the end of the year after the paint factory turns a profit."
"You’re so good to , Zhengfeng!"

「The next morning,」 after breakfast, Shen Yi took Qin Jiao out to register for driving lessons. Xiao Shi had wanted to tag along with their sister, but the thought of their parents going house-hunting seed more interesting.
Torn by the decision, they ultimately chose to go house-hunting with their parents later.
The North City of this era was quite different from the one in Qin Jiao’s mory. After all, in her past life, she hadn’t co to the provincial capital this early. She looked around, finding it all quite novel.
Shen Yi strolled along on her left, subtly shielding her from the cyclists passing by. The two of them reached the subway station, bought tickets, and got on a train.
The subway wasn’t as crowded back then as it would be later, but there were no seats available. After they found a spot to stand in a corner, Shen Yi suddenly sighed.
Qin Jiao looked up at him. "What’s wrong?"
"I was just sighing. There are so few people."
Qin Jiao thought for a mont, looked around, and then the corners of her mouth twitched, utterly speechless.
’Don’t tell Shen Yi was hoping the subway would be packed so we’d be squeezed together and sothing could spark between us?’
She turned her head away, deciding to ignore him.
Shen Yi gazed at her beautiful profile, thinking, ’Even if we don’t say a word, just being this close to each other... this faint, warm feeling is enough to make feel completely blissful.’
Getting a driver’s license had beco a bit easier and cheaper in recent years compared to before, but you still had to wait in line to practice driving. Fortunately, Beidou had a car. Shen Yi told Qin Jiao they could use Beidou’s car to practice later.
Besides, they both already had so basic driving experience. They just needed to practice with a manual transmission and get familiar with the car. The main reason for coming was to figure out the current process for getting a license, since it was different from when they first learned.
As it turned out, when they arrived at the registration office, they saw Chen Feng and Shen Zhengfeng getting out of a black sedan.
