The King’s Enchanting Chapter 1748 - 1762: Marriage (1)

Although the Yu Family endeavored to keep it discreet, persistent paparazzi have a knack for spotting significant events, even at the civil affairs bureau.

The initial revelation of the relationship between Jian Anning and Yu Zexiao ignited a considerable sensation. Yu Zexiao, renowned as a top-tier idol, possessed striking good looks and an impressive lineage, capturing the admiration and aspirations of countless young fans.

When news of his involvement with Jian Anning surfaced, a dramatic outpouring from his devoted fanbase ensued, with threats of drastic actions flooding Weibo and causing widespread alarm. However, subsequent information revealed Jian Anning's considerable family wealth and her willing renunciation of her heiress status to become his assistant, which resonated deeply with many of his fans.

Despite their long-standing relationship, five years passed without any announcement of marriage. Even their engagement was kept entirely out of the public eye, its existence unknown to outsiders.

Yu Zexiao was not bound by any public declaration like "The Singlehood Contract," meaning marriage did not necessitate public disclosure. A consistent pattern of low-profile conduct had marked his relationship with Jian Anning since its inception. Although Jian Anning continued her role as his manager, they maintained a deliberate distance, avoiding public appearances together, as if to underscore their separation.

Following the acquisition of their identification cards with Jian Anning, Yu Zexiao immediately proceeded to the civil affairs bureau.

While Starlight Entertainment's endorsement was not a prerequisite, a courtesy notification was extended. Concurrently, both individuals undertook preparations for their impending nuptials.

Donning masks and sunglasses, they were clad in coordinating white shirts, their hair neatly styled. With minimal adornment, they departed in their vehicle.

Upon their arrival, the afternoon crowd at the bureau was notably sparse. The designated area for marriage registration was positioned adjacent to the divorce counter. While one side buzzed with congratulations and the cheerful assistance of staff for newlyweds, the other witnessed a vehement dispute. Jian Anning observed a couple locked in an argument over financial assets, with numerous relatives escalating the situation into a near brawl, much to the detached amusement of those completing their paperwork nearby.

Disregarding the surrounding spectacle, Yu Zexiao and Jian Anning proceeded directly to the counter, completed their forms, and submitted them to the official. The clerk, without meticulously verifying their identities and noting their masked and bespectacled appearance, simply inquired, "Do you have your photos? If not, you can take them over there."

Both individuals nodded, collected a numbered ticket, and retreated to the waiting area. A short while later, their number was called, and they entered the adjoining small room, where a queue had already formed. The photographer looked up and instructed, "Please remove your masks and glasses."

Other individuals were indeed present in the room, but Jian Anning and Yu Zexiao complied without hesitation, smoothly removing their masks and glasses and adjusting themselves to the side.

As they settled and looked up, a sudden exclamation erupted from nearby!

The photographer, accustomed to the routine, felt a surge of impatience. Having photographed countless couples, what could possibly warrant such surprise? Cast his gaze upward, and the pair before him appeared strikingly familiar!

A moment of contemplation, and then an involuntary gasp escaped his lips, "Yu, Yu Zexiao?"

The hall was filled with people, and his shout echoed, gaining the attention of many present. Especially the young couples there for marriage registration, all of whom were undeniably aware of Yu Zexiao, the highly celebrated idol!

Yu Zexiao, in person! Right before their eyes!
