Go Marriage

Chapter 1

When her phone rang, Shu Yi'an was translating a long French contract. The numerous technical terms were giving her a headache. She took a moment to catch her breath before answering the phone with a pained expression. "Hello, who is this?"

A deep, magnetic male voice came from the other end of the phone, "I'm going back to Beijing tomorrow."

Shu Yi'an was momentarily stunned by the voice, and it took her a while to realize who was on the other end of the phone. She slowly uttered an "Oh."

"Aren't you going to come pick me up?" the man on the other end asked her, quite surprised.

Shu Yi'an stroked the pen in her hand and nodded blankly. "Okay... then I'll come pick you up..." "When?" the man asked her in return.

"What time is your flight...?"

The person on the other end of the phone seemed to have given up on arguing with her about the issue. "I'm going straight back to the department tomorrow; you don't need to come."

Chu Mu was speechless at Shu Yi'an's reaction. Seeing that she didn't say anything for a long time, he simply said "That's it" and hung up the phone decisively.

Berlin weather in early April

In the two-story building of the Chinese Embassy in Germany next to Maerkisches, Chu Mu watched the pedestrians coming and going outside the window, his phone spinning in his hand.

Shu Yi'an, it's been a whole six months, and you really haven't changed at all.

"Deputy Director Chu, your plane ticket has been booked. It's a 9:00 AM flight tomorrow." Assistant Xiao Chen gently knocked on the door.

The person standing by the window didn't turn around, but simply replied softly, "I understand."

Xiao Chen secretly observed the young deputy director from behind Chu Mu. His tall, slender back exuded an air of aloofness and coldness, and Xiao Chen dared not utter a sound. Xiao Chen truly couldn't understand it; after not returning home for half a year, he finally had an opportunity, so why didn't this man show any joy?

In fact, Chu Mu didn't understand why Shu Yi'an reacted that way after he hadn't been back for half a year. How could she be so calm? This pampered young master suddenly felt a sense of being neglected.

At that moment, Shu Yi'an, who was listening in the conference room, suddenly felt a chill run down her spine for no apparent reason. From the moment she received the call until now, she hadn't quite wanted to believe that the person she occasionally saw on television across the ocean was coming home. Her husband was coming home.

The next day, Shu Yi'an got up early to go grocery shopping. Standing on the tall shelves with a pained expression, she didn't know what to choose. Shu Yi'an's slow pace often led her to skip meals and rely solely on instant noodles and snacks, a situation that worsened after Chu Mu left. She had practically destroyed all the fresh vegetables and other essential items in the refrigerator. Therefore, Shu Yi'an wanted to fill everything up before he returned, lest the extremely unhealthy Deputy Director Chu throw her out the moment he walked through the door.

As she emerged carrying large bags of belongings, a flight from Berlin to the capital airport was already landing with a tremendous roar.

The thirteen-hour flight had taken its toll on Chu Mu. He rubbed his temples wearily and, with a sweet and gentle reminder from the flight attendant, disembarked with a large group of people behind him. Outside the terminal, cars were already waiting.

"Deputy Director Chu, you must be exhausted from the journey. Please get in the car." Director Wang, the head of the station who came to pick him up from the ministry, hurriedly stepped forward.

Chu Mu smiled gently at the newcomer, the weariness from before completely gone from his handsome face. "I'm fine."

"That's fine then. I'll have Xiao Wu take you to the ministry for your work report in a bit, and then we'll head straight to Donghai Tower! A lot of young people have come here this year, and they're all clamoring to see you. You absolutely must give them that honor!"

Chu Mu glanced at the slightly darkening sky and declined, "Let's not bother. Everyone's been flying with me for so long and must be tired. I'll treat you another day."

"Oh, what are you saying?" Director Wang waved his hand. "You've finally come back, so we should give you a welcome-back dinner. It's settled then, Xiao Wu, remember the time!" Director Wang was more than ten years older than Chu Mu, and seeing that he was almost fifty, Chu Mu, as a junior, couldn't very well refuse him. In the end, he had no choice but to accept.

Three cars arrived from the ministry. One car carried Chu Mu's entourage, another carried the people who came to pick him up, and the third carried Chu Mu's driver, Xiao Wu, who always accompanied him back to Beijing.

A black Audi A4, starting with "京A" (Beijing A), drove smoothly on the bridge. Chu Mu sat in the back seat and checked his phone, which had been off all time. Jiang Beichen, Ji Hengdong, Zhan Cheng, and several close friends from his circle sent text messages to welcome him back to China on
