Chapter 29 - 29 29 Send Me My Household Register
Chapter 29: Chapter 29: Send Me My Household Register Chapter 29: Chapter 29: Send Me My Household Register Zhou Shuyan quietly listened to Lu Youxi before smiling slightly, “You did well in persuading people.”
Lu Youxi’s eyes lit up, “Does that mean you agree?”
“I agree with you,” Zhou Shuyan nodded, “about the point of still considering you as my wife after we return. We’ll see about that when the time comes. You might really be of help to me.”
Lu Youxi breathed a sigh of relief, finally showing the first genuine, relaxed smile since her arrival.
“However,” Zhou Shuyan added, causing Lu Youxi’s heart to leap once again, “how can you trust me so easily? Aren’t you afraid that my previous life was dangerous? Like… being involved in the underworld?”
Lu Youxi: “…”
She had indeed overlooked that point.
In both her past life and this one, she had never touched any grey areas.
In business, she always operated cleanly.
But why hadn’t she considered that Zhou Shuyan might belong to those grey areas?
Lu Youxi looked at Zhou Shuyan.
Perhaps it was because, even though Zhou Shuyan’s origins were unclear and he seemed mysterious, his demeanor was righteously dignified, without a hint of darkness.
Seeing her reaction, Zhou Shuyan chuckled lightly, “I’m just reminding you, don’t worry, I have nothing to do with those dark or grey areas. Just don’t be so careless with others in the future.”
Having resolved this issue, Lu Youxi felt somewhat relieved, “Then let’s go get our marriage certificate this afternoon!”
Zhou Shuyan: “…”
“Not yet,” Zhou Shuyan said helplessly.
“Why not?” Lu Youxi stood up, “Didn’t you just agree?”
Zhou Shuyan pinched the bridge of his nose, thinking that Lu Youxi was finally showing some eagerness typical of a young girl.
“I need time to get my household registration book,” Zhou Shuyan said helplessly.
He had his ID card, but he hadn’t expected that living in Hexing Village would necessitate marrying someone.
Thus, he hadn’t asked Qi Sishen to send it over.
Lu Youxi: “…”
She had really forgotten about that.
“Do you have your ID card then?” Lu Youxi calmed down, finally able to think of these details.
“Yes,” Zhou Shuyan nodded.
Lu Youxi squinted slightly, “So you really haven’t lost your memory, right?”
Zhou Shuyan smiled faintly, not hiding anything, “Haven’t you always thought so?”
“I’m just officially confirming it and wanted to hear you admit it yourself,” Lu Youxi sat down, “Now that we are getting married, you should tell me your real name, right?”
“You’ll know on the day we get the certificate,” Zhou Shuyan said calmly, “If you’re worried, you can back out.”
After all, he wasn’t urgently in need of marriage.
Lu Youxi now really didn’t have a better option.
Getting married to Zhou Shuyan was the quickest and most complete solution to her current problem.
Thus, even though she didn’t know much about Zhou Shuyan, Lu Youxi still didn’t plan to change her mind.
As long as Zhou Shuyan didn’t sell her out, it would be fine.
“So when can you get the household registration book?” Lu Youxi asked again, “My uncle and grandparents will soon contact the Hu Family, it’s happening soon.”
They were sure to seal the deal before she had to report back.
“Very soon, I will have someone send it this afternoon, and I’ll have it by tomorrow at the latest,” Zhou Shuyan looked up at Lu Youxi, “Is that okay?”
Since he had decided to cooperate with Lu Youxi, Zhou Shuyan wouldn’t shirk.
He honestly told Lu Youxi, and even in his simple words, he revealed some information about himself.
He knew, Lu Youxi was very intelligent.
Since they decided to cooperate, both had to show some sincerity.
He had to subtly give Lu Youxi some clues in his future actions and words.
“Alright.” She could wait that bit of time.
After sending Lu Youxi off, Zhou Shuyan went to contact Qi Sishen.
Qi had delivered an ID card to him once and also sent him a mobile phone.
But it didn’t come with a SIM card, to prevent any chance of being traced by Zhou Xueyi’s side.
Zhou Shuyan had gotten himself a SIM card in town, and he didn’t use it regularly, only for contacting Qi Sishen.
“Why did you think of looking for me today?” Qi Sishen’s voice carried a teasing tone, sounding as if Zhou Shuyan had jilted him.
Usually, Zhou Shuyan wouldn’t contact Qi Sishen unless he had some business to handle.
“What do you need this time?” Qi Sishen asked with a raised eyebrow.
Recently, whenever Zhou Siyan contacted him, it was surely for some pressing matter.
“Send me my household registration book,” Zhou Siyan said.
“What do you need the household registration book for?” Qi Sishen asked casually, not really thinking much of it, “Getting married?”
“Mhm,” Zhou Siyan casually responded.
Unexpectedly, there was a long silence from the other end of the phone, as if something had fallen.
“Okay, Zhou Shuyan, joking about returning to the countryside is one thing,” Qi Sishen picked up the pen Zhou Siyan’s casual “Mhm” had knocked off his desk, twirling it between his fingers, convinced that Zhou Shuyan was joking and didn’t take it seriously.
“I’m not joking,” Zhou Shuyan said calmly.
Qi Sishen choked on his words, pausing for five to six seconds to digest Zhou Shuyan’s response, “What? Are you serious?”
“…” Zhou Shuyan said somewhat helplessly, “You know me, when have I ever been not serious?”
He never joked.
Qi Sishen: “…”
It was exactly because he knew Zhou Shuyan never joked that he was all the more shocked.
“It’s not that…” Qi Sishen, momentarily at a loss for words, sat in his office, swiveled his chair to face the floor-to-ceiling windows, and looked up at the slowly drifting clouds, which always helped him calm down, “You’ve been staying in that village this whole time, mostly just going into town to gather some information. Your circle is so small, who are you marrying?”
“Do you really have so many suitable, eligible girls around you?” Qi Sishen pondered but couldn’t figure it out, “And there are so many families in Hua Country, sharpening their knives to introduce their daughters to you, not to mention all those female celebrities in the entertainment industry, yet none caught your eye. How did you find someone to marry after spending some time in the village?”
Zhou Shuyan: “…”
“Just the right fit,” Zhou Shuyan said calmly.
Even the clouds floating above couldn’t help Qi Sishen calm down this time.
“Don’t tell me, you didn’t find anyone suitable throughout the whole nation when you were in the Imperial Capital, but you found someone suitable in a village?” Qi Sishen deeply felt that this was unreasonable!
“What kind of village are you in, hiding so many hidden dragons? Are there any more suitable ones to introduce to me?” Qi Sishen genuinely wanted to see what kind of unusual village it was!
What do you think?
