This time, James Brown and Gina Lopez handled their marriage registration with swift and decisive action. The next day, James returned to YODC City to take care of some related procedures, and then went back to ASCS City on the same day to collect their marriage certificate with Gina at the civil affairs office.
With the marriage certificate in hand, the couple showed not a hint of joy. They didn't even feel much about the marriage certificate itself before they hurried back home to hand it over to Gina's mother.
Mrs. Lopez flipped the marriage certificate over and over, then looked at them with uncertainty and said, "It's not fake this time, is it?"
James Brown immediately replied, "Mom, it's definitely not fake this time. This is a marriage certificate issued in ASCS City. Dad works at the Public Security Bureau; we couldn't forge this even if we wanted to."
