Sweet Rebirth: The Little Healer

His Nuanyue never just paid lip service to caring for her loved ones. She always took care of her family and the man she loved with all her heart, pouring almost all her energy into it.

”We’re so early today, we’re the first ones here. If I’d known, we could have come a little later instead of just standing at the door,” Zhao Nuanyue muttered quietly. ”The wind’s a bit strong now. Let’s go wait in the car for a bit!”

Hua Yusen listened to Zhao Nuanyue’s gentle and charming grumbling, his heart filled with sweetness. He then stood in front of Zhao Nuanyue, his tall frame shielding her from the wind and rain.

”You won’t be cold like this!” Hua Yusen didn’t want to go back to the car. The Civil Affairs Bureau would be opening any minute, and he wanted to get their marriage certificate as quickly as possible. If they left for even a moment, they would lose their spot as first in line and have to wait. To Hua Yusen, that kind of anxious waiting was a kind of sweet torture.

Hua Yusen didn’t want to endure such torture, so he used his own body as a human shield to block the wind for Zhao Nuanyue.

Although Hua Yusen doted on Zhao Nuanyue, he could be a little stubborn sometimes. So, Zhao Nuanyue went along with him to make him happy.

Finally, someone arrived for work and saw Zhao Nuanyue and Hua Yusen waiting in the first spot, the only couple there.

Normally, there would be several couples lined up outside by now, but today a light drizzle was falling. With each autumn rain, the air grew colder.

There was a place outside to shelter from the rain, but it was still very cold, so not many people had come to get their marriage certificates. So far, they were the only couple.

”Oh, my! Young man, young lady, hurry and come in! It’s too cold outside!” Director Li, the person in charge of marriage registrations, quickly ushered Zhao Nuanyue and Hua Yusen inside.

”Thank you!” Zhao Nuanyue said politely. ”Sorry for the trouble.”

”No trouble at all, this is our job. Come, give me your documents, and I’ll take a look!” The chubby Director Li had been working in civil affairs for over twenty years and especially loved seeing handsome, loving couples come in to register their marriage.

From Director Li’s many years of experience, the way this young man and woman gazed at each other, their eyes full of deep affection, proved they were a couple deeply in love. This was the kind of scene Director Li loved to see most.

Director Li sat down, and Zhao Nuanyue sat across from her.

Zhao Nuanyue placed the neatly organized documents in front of Director Li and said, ”These are our marriage application documents. Could you see if anything is missing?”

Director Li opened the file folder. The documents inside were impeccably organized and all in order.

When she saw the contents, she stared at Hua Yusen for a few moments and said, ”So you’re a hero! And the young lady is a doctor!”

A hero and a doctor—truly a match made in heaven. She often encountered such couples.

Hua Yusen’s political background, in particular, made Director Li pay special attention. Not daring to be neglectful, she treated them with even greater warmth.

They took their photos, recited their vows together, and under Director Li’s witness, the marriage certificates were prepared.

When the large, official seal was firmly stamped over the photos on their two marriage certificates, Zhao Nuanyue finally became Hua Yusen’s wife—his legally, officially recognized wife. And Hua Yusen became Zhao Nuanyue’s legally, officially recognized husband.

From now on, they were a legally recognized married couple.

”Congratulations to you both. I wish you a happy life together, may all your wishes come true, and may you be blessed with children soon,” Director Li said with a smile. She said these words many times a day, giving each new couple her most sincere blessings.

Carrying Director Li’s blessings, Zhao Nuanyue and Hua Yusen walked out of the Civil Affairs Bureau, their brand-new marriage certificates in hand.

Just as they were happily holding hands and gazing at each other, a young woman came running toward them from across the street.

’Oh god, I’m too late!’

The information she’d received was that Zhao Nuanyue and Hua Yusen would get their marriage certificate the day before their wedding ceremony.

’So why today? How could they have been a day early?’

Hua Yusen was so completely immersed in his own happiness that he didn’t notice his surroundings at all. At this moment, his eyes were only for Zhao Nuanyue, only for his new wife!

Zhao Nuanyue’s Divine Sense was very strong, and she had already felt the gaze of the young woman.

Jealousy, envy, and a deep sense of sorrowful resentment.

’Who is this woman?’ Because she was too far away and the sky outside was gloomy, Zhao Nuanyue couldn’t see the woman’s face clearly.

It wasn’t until the woman got closer that Zhao Nuanyue finally saw who she was!

’Heavens, it’s actually Wu Qiaoqiao? Hua Yusen’s wife from the past life!’

In her past life, Zhao Nuanyue had envied this woman. Although Wu Qiaoqiao hadn’t cherished Hua Yusen’s love, she had possessed the legitimate status to be by his side. At the same time, she was even more envious that Wu Qiaoqiao had been able to meet the best version of Hua Yusen in her prime.

But that was all in a past life. In this life, she was the one who had married Hua Yusen.

Zhao Nuanyue could now stand confidently by Hua Yusen’s side, as the woman who would face the storms of life with him and spend the rest of her days with him.

”You... you got married?” Wu Qiaoqiao’s expression shifted quickly, a serene smile appearing on her face.

Hua Yusen finally saw clearly who had arrived. He smiled and said, ”Yes, we’re married. Miss Wu, this is my wife, Zhao Nuanyue!”

Wu Qiaoqiao’s gaze fell on Zhao Nuanyue. Hua Yusen had saved her before, and Wu Qiaoqiao had developed feelings for him, no longer wanting to stay at her aunt and uncle-in-law Liu Zhongjun’s home in Lizhou. After returning, she began to investigate and naturally found out that Hua Yusen had a fiancée and that they had already set a wedding date.

From the moment she understood her own heart, Wu Qiaoqiao had started scheming, but she was still too late.

Seeing the complex emotions in Wu Qiaoqiao’s eyes, Zhao Nuanyue said softly, ”Hello, Miss Wu.”

Wu Qiaoqiao glanced at Zhao Nuanyue, then nodded as well, smiling slightly. ”Hello, Ms. Zhao.”

Ever since she was little, she had heard her father praise Hua Yusen. And even though the children from the compound hadn’t grown up together, they still saw each other occasionally. Hua Yusen’s tall figure and hardworking image were fixtures in the lives of their generation.

However, because of their age difference, Wu Qiaoqiao never had the chance to play with Hua Yusen. Moreover, for certain reasons, her parents had sent her to live with her maternal aunt in Lizhou.

By the time she grew up and their age gap was less noticeable, disaster had struck the Hua family.

A shrewd man like her father would never have agreed to a match, so she had buried her little crush. That was until Hua Yusen saved her in Lizhou, causing Wu Qiaoqiao to see him in a new light. She couldn’t help but want to get closer to him, to feel his presence.

On top of that, with Gu Qingyu’s recent meteoric rise and his gradual control over the entire situation, her father had decided to cooperate with Gu Qingyu and the Hua family. She finally had a chance to get close to Hua Yusen.
