408 Wedding Day

She did not want to register their marriage at the Civil Affairs Bureau and tried to come up with an excuse again. "Let me think about it."

"What's there to think about?" Pei Ziheng's tone was heavy. "Xiao Ling, we're only going to the Civil Affairs Bureau, that can't tire you out much. Are you unwilling? Before the child is born, we must obtain the marriage certificate. I won't allow him to become a child born out of wedlock. Not even for a day."

If her child were a boy, he would be the first heir to the family. There could not be any blemishes in this child's identity, and he could not give others any chances to attack him. He must not have the title of "illegitimate child" for even half a day.
