The Older Brother of My Student is My Secret Crush

Chapter 145

On March 18th, the day they obtained their marriage certificate, it was an ordinary afternoon for Xiao Chen and Yu Na.

Xiao Chen had carefully chosen this day in advance. Both Xiao Chen and Yu Na were dressed in white shirts. Yu Na had spent over an hour in front of the dressing table to get ready for the photoshoot.

Due to her busy schedule, she had a big pimple on her face, and she winced in pain while applying concealer to cover it up.

Xiao Chen reassured her that they could retouch the photos later, so she shouldn't worry about the pimple. However, Yu Na insisted that leaving any flaws uncovered would be disrespectful to their marriage certificate.

Her stubbornness amused him, so he didn't argue any further, knowing that they had already made an appointment in advance.

After completing all the necessary procedures, when it came time for the photoshoot, even the photographer couldn't help but marvel at their good looks.

One playful staff member joked, "If we post these photos online, they would definitely go viral."

Xiao Chen replied with a joke of his own, "Stop kidding around. My wife is so beautiful; I can't keep her hidden. What if someone else sets their sights on her?"

The staff members present teased him, saying, "You're so good-looking, yet you lack confidence in yourself?"

Xiao Chen responded, "No matter how good-looking I am, I'm not on the same level as my wife."

Despite Yu Na blushing from the teasing, the staff members genuinely liked Xiao Chen's personality and sincerely wished them well.

After leaving the Civil Affairs Bureau, Yu Na couldn't wait and opened the marriage certificate.

Both of them were wearing pure white shirts, with clear and bright eyes and charming features.

When they looked into the camera, there was a glimmer of anticipation reflected in their eyes.

The red background of the photo symbolized celebration, and the gleam in their eyes represented their aspirations for the future.

The names of the newlyweds on the marriage certificate were "Xiao Chen" and "Yu Na."

Suddenly, Yu Na felt like crying.

It was Xiao Chen.

He was the person she had liked so much since their freshman year in college.

Xiao Chen was also holding onto the marriage certificate, unable to let go of it. He examined it from left to right, and even when he put it in his pocket, he was still worried that someone might steal it.

As they sat back in the car, he fastened Yu Na's seatbelt and said, "Now I finally understand how Old Han felt."

"What did he feel?"

"Back then, when Old Han and An An got their marriage certificate, that guy carried it with him wherever he went. I used to laugh at him and think he was crazy."

So sometimes, people shouldn't speak too soon, or they might end up like Xiao Chen—self-deprecating in every way possible.

He had mocked Han Chengxun for having a "romantic brain," but in the end, he himself became "romantic-brained."

He had mocked Han Chengxun for carrying his marriage certificate with him all the time, but now he couldn't even wait at a red light without holding onto the certificate, afraid of losing it.

He had mocked Han Chengxun for being lovey-dovey with Lin Shuan every day, but now he couldn't help but want to be close to Yu Na whenever he saw her.

After obtaining the certificate, Xiao Chen drove them to the Zhonghai Jinwan Villa District.

The greenery in the villa district was well-maintained, and the privacy was high. Only the rich and the wealthy lived here.

It was also one of the top ten luxury residences in Chang Wan.

Xiao Chen had already set his sights on this villa district shortly after confirming his relationship with Yu Na.

But he never mentioned this matter to anyone, including his parents, for fear that if they were happy and satisfied, they would transfer the money for buying the house in the middle of the night out of excitement.

Xiao Chen isn't opposed to taking money from his parents. They treat him like a precious treasure, showing no concern but only giving him large sums of money.

He accepts it quite comfortably.

However, when it comes to buying a marital home, he doesn't want to ask his parents for help. He has enough capability to purchase this house on his own.

Yu Na had no idea about this matter, so when they entered the villa area, she was both surprised and delighted. "When did you buy this? Why didn't you tell me?"

Xiao Chen parked the car in the garage. "For a marital home, of course, I would only inform you once we're getting married."

"..."

After parking the car, Xiao Chen got out first, opened the passenger door, and presented the house key to Yu Na. "Madam, would you open the door?"

Yu Na happily took the key.

This house was designed by a well-known designer in the industry and was decorated a long time ago. Recently, they completed furnishing it with appliances and furniture.

The exterior of the villa had white walls and a black roof, giving it a simple and elegant look.

The interior was decorated in a low-saturation cream tone, featuring a tall and spacious living room with panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows, creating an open and airy space. A large crystal chandelier hung from above, and a marble staircase with a suspended swallowtail design added to the luxurious atmosphere.

At first glance, it exuded a romantic and luxurious vibe.

This place was completely different from Yunwan Mansion and Huating No.1, the two properties Xiao Chen liked, which had a transparent style in dark gray tones.

This villa had a strong vintage French style, completely tailored to Yu Na's preferences.

They even set up a private gym inside the house.

Yu Na smiled and said, "Are you planning to switch careers and become a fitness trainer?"

Originally, Xiao Chen thought it would be more convenient to work out at home, and since Yu Na often mentioned wanting to exercise but being too lazy to go to the gym, he decided to create one at home.

But her words gave him a new idea. "That's right."

Yu Na: ?

Xiao Chen flashed a mischievous smile. "I can be your personal trainer."

"..."

After showing her around all the rooms, Xiao Chen held her hand and said, "There's something fun, come with me."

He led Yu Na to the basement, which occupied a large area and had a gray color scheme and a starry sky ceiling.

Xiao Chen had set up a private movie theater here.

"I know you love watching movies, so I made this for you."

Xiao Chen guided her to the other side of the basement, separated by transparent glass. There was a small bar area with a pool table, all in a dark color scheme. The entire basement had no main light design, with hidden black and gold light strips scattered around, creating a subtle yet luxurious ambiance.

Setting up a bar at home was inspired by Yu Na's father. He had a private bar in his mansion in London, which was exceptionally grand and luxurious.

"You can have gatherings here. If you want to invite An An or other friends for drinks, you can come here."

Yu Na hugged his arm. "Can we watch horror movies here?"

Xiao Chen: ...

He didn't want to answer that question. Instead, he sat on the black leather sofa and said, "Come here."

This is not just a sofa, it's a sofa bed.

Yuna sat in front of him, and in the next second, he encircled her in his arms. The person behind rested their chin on her shoulder. "We can watch horror movies, but..." a seductive kiss landed on her cheek, "...we should watch them in this position."

"...You pervert," Yuna said, or at least she tried to, as she leaned closer to him. "I knew you didn't buy this sofa bed with innocent intentions."

"Well, this is our home. There are no surveillance cameras, so we can be a little reckless," Xiao Chen whispered in her ear, intentionally teasing her. "For example, getting even closer."

Yuna used to be a rather innocent person, but after being in a relationship with him, she became a girl who understood things in an instant.

Whatever Xiao Chen said, she would interpret it in an adult context, which sometimes troubled her.

He asked, "Do you like it here?"

Yuna obediently nodded, "I love it, I really love it."

The place she used to live in was also a luxurious mansion, not much different from here, but the decoration style was based on her father's preferences. Living there felt suffocating, with a bunch of people constantly monitoring her, like a caged bird. She couldn't feel any happiness.

This time, it was truly her home.

Together with the person she loved the most.

"But..." Yuna turned her head, "it's farther from the school compared to Huating No.1."

"You know we have a car, right?"

"I don't know how to drive..."

Yuna used to have a dedicated driver when she went out, but after being with Xiao Chen, he became her chauffeur, and she had never driven herself.

Xiao Chen pinched her nose, "Aren't I your personal driver?"

"...Hmm, but what if you're busy?"

"I'll have my driver pick you up."

Yuna held his hand and acted spoiled, "I just want you to pick me up."

"Of course, unless I'm away on a business trip and can't pick you up. As long as I'm in Chang Wan, no matter how busy I am, I'll make time for you."

Yuna sat contentedly in front of him, snuggling in his embrace.

Xiao Chen continued, "When Qiao Rui goes to college, Yunwan Mansion will be vacant. By then, we'll have three apartments. You can choose whichever one you want to live in."
