Chapter 798 - 426: Wu and Xu’s Surprise (2)

After staying in Hangzhou for two days, the family of three hurriedly boarded a plane to the Capital. They had a meal with Zhao Haiqi and Li Xin, and then Li Qiyuan and Yu Huizhi quickly returned to Ningyuan City. When they parted, Old Li earnestly reminded his son about something, mainly concerned that Li Peifeng’s crimes might be exposed, leading to his trial and detention.

"Don’t worry, true love cannot be imprisoned!"

Li Peifeng promised confidently, but in reality, he was quite worried. After a long period of deep reflection, he realized that his initial plan to register marriage in Dong with Wu, Xu, and Huang without divorcing was too risky and could easily backfire. Once the national marriage registration information becomes interconnected, even if the involved parties don’t report it, he would still have to face legal repercussions.

So, Li Peifeng planned to register in another country.

Marriage information between different countries is not public, and many countries welcome foreign tourists to travel and get married there. The procedures aren’t complicated, and by skipping the embassy notarization step, it won’t affect anything back home.

Although Li Peifeng couldn’t be as flexible as being a Dong national in Dong and a Western Country national in the Western Country, he was bold enough to be married in Dong and also married in the Western Country.

The three girls initially felt his method lacked sincerity and demanded that he register in their home country. However, after Li Peifeng persuaded them with promises to formalize it later, they calmed down and agreed.

So, on the eighth day of the new year, after the Hangzhou trip, Li Peifeng took Wu Wenyue and Xu Manning across the ocean to the Western Country’s gambling city, Las Vegas.

This city is not only famous for its focus on gambling, tourism, and entertainment industries but also known as the ’Wedding Capital’.

One reason is that the city’s marriage registration office is open all year round, providing 24-hour services. The registration procedure is exceptionally simple; just fill out a form, sign, and pay 75 USD to get the certificate.

Another reason is the city’s well-developed entertainment industry, offering a variety of supposedly perfect wedding-related services. The bustling commerce, numerous hotels, and abundant churches make it a perfect place to start the honeymoon right after getting the certificate.

But before coming this time, Li Peifeng, wanting to surprise Wu and Xu, didn’t mention the registration plan and just used the excuse of a vacation.

However, combining what Li Peifeng said before about the overseas registration plan, Wu Wenyue and Xu Manning had a faint idea in mind but didn’t directly ask, opting to play along with him. As such, both girls were full of anticipation for this trip.

The always straightforward Xu Manning, who couldn’t hide her thoughts, had just sat through an entire day’s flight but didn’t feel tired because she rested well on the plane. As soon as she got off, she excitedly looked around the Las Vegas airport.

"Quite a crowd, huh? Hey, what are those rows of colorful machines?"

Following Miss Xu’s gaze toward the left area of the airport, Li Peifeng, with his keen vision, saw the English on the machines and chuckled: "Slot machines... truly a gambling city, the atmosphere comes alive immediately!"

"Let’s go see. I’ve never seen one before."

Wu Wenyue was also curious, and the two girls dragged Li Peifeng to the machines. After observing how others played, they tried a few times themselves. Each played four or five times, losing over 200 USD in total.

"It’s not fun; let’s eat instead."

Xu Manning immediately felt disappointed, and Wu Wenyue raised an eyebrow, asking while walking: "Xiaofeng, we didn’t come here to gamble, right? Are there other activities, like something that would make us truly happy?"

Li Peifeng laughed it off: "Of course, gambling is a bad habit. We’re not here to gamble; we’re here to shop and sightsee... Now it’s 2 PM, let’s grab something to eat first, and tonight we can go shopping. You can buy whatever you want, and I’ll cover everything!"

"Trying to show off your wealth? You can shop anywhere, why come this far?"

Xu Manning muttered softly, instinctively touching the ring on her ring finger named ’Trinity’ in English, known as ’Threefold’ in Dong.

That ring was a gift from Li Peifeng two years ago when he became a new platinum member; he bought it for her and Yueyue. They even ran into Zhao Qingge at the Cartier boutique...

Miss Xu glanced at Wu Wenyue, who was also wearing hers, and then at Li Peifeng, who wasn’t wearing his!

The jerk must be hiding it to avoid Zhao Qingge discovering it.

"Where’s your ring?"

Miss Xu shook her hand, pretending to test.

"Left it at home... but we can buy another one."

Li Peifeng blinked: "We can each get a new one at the malls here, how about that?"

Wu Wenyue feigned ignorance: "You don’t wear the old one, buying new ones are for what? You’re just fickle... Let go of my hand!"

Holding one hand wasn’t enough for Li Peifeng, so he reached to hold Xu Manning’s as well. Being in a foreign country and a new environment, though surrounded by the bustling airport, gave him more courage.

"Let go, let go! People are watching; are you crazy?"

"You told Old Zhao you were going abroad to handle overseas publishing matters for ’Sword and Law’. If someone captures a video of us like this and uploads it online for her to see, you’ll be doomed!"

Miss Xu was just as displeased as Wu Wenyue, speeding up to walk ahead, yet unable to shake off Li Peifeng’s hand. The two girls were ’reluctantly’ led along, feeling a bit delighted inside.

Because through the previous testing, they had confirmed that the main purpose of Li Peifeng bringing them abroad this time was to fulfill his promise to register their marriage.
