18 Man and Husband

♠ ♠ ♠

Hanlu was listening to the financial report presented in front when his phone suddenly vibrated indicating that someone was calling. He didn't plan to take the call but after peeking at the caller ID and found out it was his older brother, Hanlu signaled the financial department head to pause as he was going to take the call thinking it is something important knowing that the call was from his brother.

"Brother, what is it?" Hanlu asked in a low voice the moment he picks up.

"Come at Local Courthouse now," Laotian replied in a monotone, not beating around the bushes.

"What? Are you suing someone?" Hanlu asked confused. If his brother was going to sue someone, don't they have more capable lawyers for that? Why go to a local courthouse?

"I'm getting married today. You'll be the witness." Laotian said leaving no room for arguments. It took a couple of seconds before it all went into Hanlu's mind and his jaw drops on the floor in total shock.

"M-MARRIED?! WHAT TH-" Hanlu turned speechless but when he had a grasp of himself he suddenly blurted out.

"You're getting married? Now!? Are you kidding me?!" Hanlu confirms which Laotian only responds with a simple hum before he hung up. Hearing his older brother, Hanlu had become frustrated that he didn't realize people were as shocked hearing him.

Hanlu was about to dismiss the meeting when he realized everyone was staring at him with their mouths open wide. Mo Hanlu rolled his eyes and spoke in annoyance.

"Yeah, older brother is getting married today and if this ever gets out of this room, all of you will be fired." He said in annoyance before rushing out of the room.

Everyone in the room was in a high position and been with the company longer than Mo Laotian and Mo Hanlu. How could Second Young Master Hanlu say they'll be fired if the news that the Eldest Young Master of the Mo Empire getting married ever gets out.

Alas, even if they grew a couple of tails they wouldn't dare leak the information.

Meanwhile. Daniel and Laotian have been hugging the whole time while the documents are being processed, they only needed to provide their driving license and social security number and they were good to go. They're only waiting for Hanlu to come now before the ceremony with the judge starts.

Earlier at the apartment, after both of them confessed they immediately drove to the nearest local courthouse to get married as soon as possible. They weren't even wearing formal clothes and just went there with their clothes from Laotian's closet at the hotel.

Laotian swayed Daniel's body, hugging the Omega from the back while Daniel closed his eyes feeling the Alpha's warmth. He couldn't believe they'll be marrying soon.

"Should we tell this to grandfather and your parents? Grandfather will be upset if I don't tell him I'm getting married. And so your parents won't arrange blind dates for you again." Daniel softly said remembering their conversation last night.

"hmmm, I'll contact them after we get married."

"Isn't it the other way around?" Daniel giggled at Laotian's response.

"I won't give you a chance to step back."

"I won't be stepping back."

"I heard from father that your grandfather rejected his offer when he suggested arranging a blind date for us. I won't let someone stop us from getting married even if he's your grandfather." Hearing this, Daniel remembers Elder Mo from his grandfather's birthday.

Back then Daniel was worried that his grandfather would agree to it. But now he actually ended up marrying to Elder Mo's son instead.

"Hey, you two! Aren't you making this decision way too soon?" Mo Hanlu said the moment he arrived seeing the two swaying their bodies while hugging.

"Daniel isn't even legal yet," Hanlu added. The couple heard Hanlu, and they separated holding hands. Seeing this Hanlu couldn't help rolling his eyes being unwillingly fed with dog food.

"I'm 19, I can marry." Daniel reasoned. In the country, it is already legal to marry at 18 even without parental consent.

"Well, you're not fully legal until you turn 21. You seem like an adult but actually you're still not. Don't you know that?" Hanlu opposed being strongly biased with his personal opinion.

"hmmm, 19 is already legal in law. Besides can't you see Laotian and I are having a baby?" Daniel stubbornly. Hanlu just sighs defeated in the end. He couldn't reason with a person in love.

"Whatever. What are we waiting for? Let's get you two lovebirds get married and get this over with." Hanlu walked passed them and said waving his hands. He already accepted that his brother had found his pair in life. He was just stubborn, and couldn't accept it still. And besides, they're having his niece or nephew.

"We were waiting for you." Daniel sarcastically.

"Nonsense. Where is the Judge!? Let's start. Let's start."

With Hanlu being one of the witnesses, the ceremony started. It only took a couple of minutes and the two came out of the courthouse with their copy of the marriage certificate.

"All's well that ends well. Those two will be so happy if they discover you marry and even have a baby coming soon." Hanlu walks into his car while the two into their own.

"We're planning to tell them. After I buy Daniel's ring." Laotian said after kissing Daniel and letting him ride the car first.

"What the! Seriously?" Hanlu blurted surprised and couldn't help but feel worried for himself. If the elders discover that Laotian got married and expecting a baby soon, the two will eventually pressure him to marry too. Hanlu shivered at the thought of himself marrying someone.

"Go contact mother and father, if you can find Tian Zi tell him to come but don't tell them yet. Daniel and I will tell them personally. I'll call you later where we meet." Hanlu listened to his brother talk and for the longest time, he finally heard his older brother talk over 10 words at once.

It has been such a long time, it's as if his older brother was saving his words for a reason.

Absentmindedly, Hanlu nodded at his older brother and watched him go inside his car. Hanlu only recovered from his stunned condition when Laotian and Daniel started driving away leaving him still standing outside of his car.

At the jewelry store.

Daniel and Laotian were looking at the wedding rings at the Jewelry store. Both were wearing very simple clothes but despite that, they attracted a lot of attention from the clerks and people coming in and out. They were a perfect couple and people couldn't help but stan the pair.

"Did you see something you like?" Laotian asked and Daniel shakes his head. This shop is a well-known Jewelry shop in the city so Laotian brought Daniel here. Daniel wasn't fond of Jewelries so he couldn't find something he liked.

Seeing the troubled expression of the Omega, the sales lady suggested two rings, but still, nothing piqued the couple's interest. Laotian was losing his patience. How can a top Jewelry shop not present a single decent product?

"Laotian who are you calling?" Daniel was looking at the rings presented to them when the Alpha's expression suddenly turns bad. Laotian then fish his phone out of his pocket and dialed a number.

"I will scold someone." with the Alpha's response, Daniel turned confused. Laotian got even more impatient when the other party didn't pick up immediately so when the call finally went through, even the person on the other line could feel the oppressing aura from the caller.

"You're selling such cheap products. Do you want me to replace you?" Laotian directly said. In actuality, the person he was calling was one of his few friends whose main business market is jewelry, mainly diamonds.

Laotian isn't interested in pieces of jewelry and because he was close friends with the person on the other line, he didn't enter the market. If he did, with his ability he could monopolize the diamond market in the country.

Right now because of this incident, he was just planning to enter the market and rival his friend.

"Laotian, chill man. What are you talking about? Where are you? I'll come immediately."

"At the Global. Come right now." Laotian said, and after hearing the response of his friend he then hangs up. Daniel was looking at him confusingly.

"It's the owner of this shop. He's coming any moment now." Hearing the Alpha, both Daniel and the sales lady were shocked. The sales lady didn't expect the couple was such an important person that they even know the owner of the shop.

She knew something around them didn't seem normal but she wasn't sure. If indeed the owner of the shop came, what would happen? Will she be fired for not satisfying this customer?

"Why would you call the owner. Come on let's look around. Maybe we can find something that's good."

"I only want the best for my wife," Laotian said caressing Daniel's cheeks affectionately. He can't deny he like the word wife rolled on his tongue referring to Daniel.

Hearing what Laotian had said, Daniel quickly blushed. That's right! He's now Mo Laotian's wife. Staring at each other intimately, the newlywed couple hugged. Just then, a blue-eyed man in simple clothes with two little blue-eyed girls came into the shop.

"Laotian you bastard!! What are you talking about replacing me... " the man's words were caught in his throat seeing the Alpha with a pregnant Omega being intimate? They were wearing simple house attire like him.

The blue-eyed man was around the area with his two little girls having daddy-daughter day when this man suddenly called him. He came immediately, but he didn't expect to see the most capable bachelor he knew was now with someone. And an Omega at that!!?

"W-What is this? Are you getting married?" The blue-eyed man asked in disbelief.
