Chapter 732: Chapter 732: Giving You Six Yuan(2)
“Oh, it’s not that, I remember it’s free to register for a household within a year, but after a year, there’s a fee.”
Ruby suddenly shook her head and corrected what she had just said. Then she contemplated and looked at the increasingly brilliant and bright smile on Steve’s face and said, “In any case, the Burtons are rich, so it doesn’t matter if it’s five or six years later when they need to attend elementary school and need a household registration.”
Just a moment ago, she said it could be within a year. Now it’s five or six years later? Does he have to wait five or six years to marry her?
Steve stared at Ruby and blinked, then blinked again, as if he had misheard. After a while, he spoke, “Ruby, are you joking with me?”
“Do you think I’m joking with you?” Ruby still maintained a smiling expression and asked back. Then she got off the bed, pushed Steve away, and went to the bathroom. As she opened the bathroom door, Ruby suddenly paused and looked back at Steve, “Oh, by the way, Steve, thanks for the emergency family meeting you called at the Burtons that night.”
Steve’s mind was still stuck on registering the triplets five or six years later. When he heard Ruby thanking him, he subconsciously said, “Ruby, if you’re really grateful, can you change it from five or six years to five or six days?”
Ruby ignored Steve and simply entered the washroom. Before closing the door, she popped her head out and decisively and unhesitatingly said two words to him, “No!”
Then she banged the door shut.

As the saying goes, for every step the righteous take, the wicked are one step ahead.
Although the relationship between Steve and Ruby seemed harmonious, for Steve who had lost Ruby once, he indeed had no sense of security. He only wanted Ruby and the triplets to become his legally protected wife and children as soon as possible.
Although Steve’s first attempt to trick Ruby into getting a marriage certificate was unsuccessful, he did not get discouraged. He was constantly racking his brains on how to get Ruby to go and get the certificate with him in the shortest time possible. However, his efforts ultimately ended in repeated failures.

Ruby stayed in the hospital for a long time initially because the triplets needed to be in incubators, and she was going through confinement, making it inconvenient for her to travel back and forth.
A normal confinement period for women takes forty days, but she couldn’t stand it and was discharged after twenty-eight days.
At this time, the triplets were almost a month old and had grown a lot since their birth. Their facial features were much clearer.
On the day Ruby was discharged, both Lady Gregory and Madam Burton personally came to pick her up.
For someone like Steve who had been through so many dealings in the business world, he naturally had some tactics and wits.
He glanced at Lady Gregory and Madam Burton, who were packing up, and suddenly a thought flashed through his mind. He took out his phone and sent his mom a text message.
During the month Ruby stayed in the hospital, she tried to minimize visitors, but still couldn’t avoid visits from close relatives and friends.
