◎Has this man changed so much before and after getting the certificate?◎
Lu Jinzhou found the valve in a small, hidden corner and smoothly opened it.
Dong Jiaojiao: ...
It's just a valve. Does it have to be hidden this well? Who's the idiot that designed this?
Seeing Dong Jiaojiao's eyes wide with astonishment, Lu Jinzhou sincerely explained, "This house may look new, but it's actually been renovated. Some design elements from the old house aren't very reasonable."
After he finished, Lu Jinzhou didn't leave immediately. Instead, he turned on the shower to test the water temperature, saying seriously, "Let me check the water temperature for you."
Whether intentionally or not, Lu Jinzhou, who usually buttoned his shirt all the way to the top like some paragon of modesty, had today left four buttons undone. With a slight movement, his firm chest and abs were revealed.
During the process of checking the water temperature, Lu Jinzhou's clothes also "accidentally" got wet, mirroring Dong Jiaojiao's earlier situation, though hers was unintentional, while his was definitely deliberate.
After waiting a while, Lu Jinzhou noticed that Dong Jiaojiao was still standing obediently on the side, seriously waiting for him to finish checking the water, completely unfazed by his actions. He couldn't help but feel a little defeated.
"Is it ready?" Dong Jiaojiao felt that Lu Jinzhou was being a bit slow, so she casually urged him.
"...Yes, it's ready." Lu Jinzhou turned off the shower, resigned, and stepped out.
That night, Dong Jiaojiao slept soundly without any dreams.
However, Lu Jinzhou in the next room was sleepless all night. Eventually, he got up to clean, do push-ups, practice boxing, and even went out into the yard to pull weeds.
Overall, he felt full of energy, unusually exhilarated.
Early the next morning, before Dong Jiaojiao even got up, Li Xiang arrived, holding a marriage approval document issued by the Provincial Military Committee.
Li Xiang had stayed at the guest house under the Provincial Military Committee the previous night.
He initially planned to wait until the headquarters opened at eight to call about the marriage report. However, he was woken up at 6:30, having been instructed by Political Commissar Huang Guoqiang from the Military District Headquarters to issue the marriage document for Chief Lu Jinzhou at dawn without delay.
Although Huang Guoqiang had approved the marriage report, there would still need to be a follow-up investigation regarding Dong Jiaojiao.
This did not matter to Lu Jinzhou. He just wanted to get the marriage certificate today.
Looking at the freshly approved marriage document, Lu Jinzhou was in an excellent mood.
As Li Xiang set out breakfast, he tentatively asked, "Chief Lu, should I drive you both later?"
"No need, you can head back to the institute. I'll be on marriage leave for a few days; you help me with the procedures."
"Understood." He had anticipated this. As expected, a man changes after getting married. Even a workaholic can take time off.
Li Xiang didn't bother asking how many days Lu Jinzhou would be on leave. He planned to request ten days initially and then adjust if necessary.
After all, as the head of the institute, Lu Jinzhou didn't have a fixed work schedule, unlike others who had to clock in and out.
