Chapter 405: Chapter 405 Let’s Get Our Marriage Certificate

Qiao Xi’s lips curved, and her gaze was steadfast, "But every time, you are impulsive for me."

She was certain that he did all this for her.

She asked again, "You blacklisted her in Haicheng, which means you have offended the major backer from the Zhong Family. Won’t you face any trouble?"

Holding her, Huo Xingzhou moved forward and said, "The moment Zhou Yi signed the first contract with Tianyuan Group, we had already offended the major backer of the Zhong Family. This shows that Tianyuan Group, in the Zhong family’s internal strife, chose Zhou Yi."

However, Tianyuan Group needed to expand into the bustling areas of the Imperial Capital and had to choose a strong partner.

The established noble families are not likely to change easily; they only seek stability and to continue maintaining the family’s glory and splendor.

Only someone like Zhou Yi.

Born into a distinguished family, yet in an embarrassing situation and competent—that’s Tianyuan Group’s first choice!

Smiling, Qiao Xi said, "Actually, when I heard Jiaojiao say today that Lin Xifei’s backer is Young Master Zhong, I was a bit nervous. I was afraid it would be Zhou Yi; that would mean he has no taste."

Huo Xingzhou’s eyes shifted as he said, "But he fancied Xiang Mingzhu, and that’s not much for taste either. The Zhong Family arranged for him to marry Lu Yingxue. Lu Yingxue and Xiang Mingzhu are cousins."

Qiao Xi immediately frowned and said, "Indeed, a philanderer."

Not at all like Ayi!

Indeed, even in this world, there are many differences between people with the same names, even those who look alike.

Ayi had died long ago.

In the real world, there are no miracles of the dead coming back to life.

If Ayi was still alive, how could she not recognize her?

"Let’s go, watch your step."

Huo Xingzhou held her hand tightly, slowly walking down the steps.

Old Chen saw them coming out of the television station and hurriedly opened the car door, saying, "Young Master, Young Madam, please get in the car."

Qiao Xi got into the car and then remembered to say to Huo Xingzhou, "These next few days, I need to perform acupuncture to help awaken Shen Xuanzhi’s mother. I’m probably going back to Moon Village in three or four days to pay respects. How does that sound?"

"I’ll go with you."

These few days should be enough for him to arrange everything at the company; staying with her for a couple of days afterwards wouldn’t matter.

"Okay."

Hearing that he would accompany her, Qiao Xi felt even happier.

For them, Moon Village was the place where they first met.

She had met him there, ten years ago.

...

The moonlight was like water.

The night deep and profound.

Within a spacious flat in Biyuan Residential Area.

On the main bedroom’s large bed, a man and a woman clung to each other in desperate embrace.

After a long while, they finally stopped.

Zhou Yu lay flat on one side, his forehead still covered with fine sweat. His physique was excellent, no wonder all those women outside were thinking about him. Shu Xue turned over, her fair and smooth hand resting on his chest.

"Zhou Yu, what’s wrong with you?"

She could tell something was off with Zhou Yu tonight; he was more silent and wilder than usual.

"Nothing."

Zhou Yu got up and headed to the bathroom.

Shu Xue frowned; she put on her nightgown and followed him, leaning against the bathroom watching him shower as she said, "Zhou Yu, my parents said they want to see you. They’re not rushing for marriage, they just know about your existence from Qin Yuan and want to meet you."

Qin Yuan didn’t get any favors when he went to Tianyuan Group to look for Qiao Xi. Proposing at the hospital entrance became a joke.

It was said that he lost his managerial position, and in a fit of anger, he spread many rumors about their Shu Family, claiming Shu Xue was promiscuous and being played with outside.

Under great pressure, her parents wanted to meet Zhou Yu.

Shu Xue asked, "Can you make it this weekend?"

Zhou Yu slightly tilted his head back, with the warm shower water beating on his handsome face. He casually brushed his wet fringe back, revealing his smooth forehead.

Hearing her question, he said with closed eyes, "Arrange it as you wish."

Shu Xue watched him and said, "Then I’ll set it for Saturday night. My parents are quite traditional and kind. They might ask us about our relationship, don’t take it to heart."

"Okay."

Zhou Yu assented.

He was usually very emotional, rarely this silent and reserved.

Shu Xue could see he was in a bad mood and hesitated a moment before saying, "Are you under a lot of work pressure recently? I heard from Qiao Xi that Tianyuan Group is planning to restart the Future City project with the Imperial Capital’s Bell Family. You’re in charge of this project, right?"

Zhou Yu turned off the shower and took a towel to dry himself.

Water clung to his eyelashes, making his eyes appear even more profound. The dark blue in his eyes stared at her, and Shu Xue suddenly remembered Zhou Yu was mixed-race, but the characteristics were not very obvious.

It just made his appearance look a bit more handsome.

She realized she didn’t know much about his family, nor his past.

Shu Xue said, "If you’re busy with work, you don’t have to go. I’ll explain it to them, and we’ll meet another time."

"No need, let’s do it on Saturday."

Zhou Yu, with his whole body still damp, walked out of the bathroom.

"Zhou Yu, is there something bothering you? I feel like you’re not in a good mood."

"Nothing."

Zhou Yu turned away from her, towel-drying his hair. He was just thinking about Huo Xingzhou’s public solicitation of design drafts; the Future City project was a rough jewel that many designers didn’t want to miss.

He had a nagging feeling.

He might encounter the person he didn’t want to see.

Shu Xue embraced him from behind and said, "Zhou Yu, it seems like you’ve never said you love me. Are your feelings for me just a whim, or are they real?"

At the beginning, they said it was just for fun, and they would part ways when they tired of it.

But after several entanglements, they never parted.

Zhou Yu turned around, bent his head to kiss her lips, and felt a surge of warmth. He pushed her back onto the bed, "After we meet your parents, let’s register our marriage."

His parents had divorced early, leaving him with nothing but money and no interference in anything else.

Zhou Yu could decide his own marriage affairs.

"Really?"

Shu Xue looked at him with wide eyes.

"Mhm."

He indulged his eager thoughts, pulling Shu Xue back into the sea of passion, trying to drive the restless shadows from his mind.

...

Three days later.

In a five-star hotel, Lin Xifei sat in the restaurant drinking coffee and browsing through a magazine. Wearing sunglasses, she scanned the hotel’s dining area but saw no familiar faces.

After observing for two days, Lin Xifei realized from the materials given by Zhong Lingxiao that Zhou Yi had a daily exercise routine.

Lin Xifei was cautious, bribing a waiter to take a look at the gym every day so as not to alarm Zhou Yi.

He would return to his room to shower after exercising. His dining patterns weren’t consistent; sometimes he ate in the restaurant, sometimes he had meals delivered to his room, and sometimes he went out for social engagements.

But Zhong Lingxiao said he liked to bask in the sun, and Lin Xifei had inquired about the hotel’s tea room as well; its large floor-to-ceiling windows allowed sunlight to pour in, and indeed, Zhou Yi had visited the tea room several times.

But today, she didn’t see Zhou Yi in the gym, restaurant, or tea room!

Her assistant quietly inquired and learned he had ordered room service.

Lin Xifei felt uneasy.

She thought it over and still decided to call Zhong Lingxiao.
