My Multiple Identities Revealed After Marrying the Bigshot

Chapter 31: Chapter 31: The name Zhou Shuyan sounds quite familiar Chapter 31: Chapter 31: The name Zhou Shuyan sounds quite familiar The small restaurant had a private room, so Qi Sishen took one.

When Zhou Shuyan walked in, he saw Qi Sishen sitting there, drinking tea.

Upon seeing him, Qi made a “yo” sound, “You arrived early too.”

“There’s only a 5 p.m. bus to town,” Zhou Shuyan explained.

Qi Sishen, still not giving up, walked to the door and looked around outside.

“What are you looking at?” Zhou Shuyan asked without turning his head, as he took a seat.

“I was hoping to see a miracle happen, like you bringing your fiancée over,” Qi Sishen said, finally losing hope when he saw no one and came back in.

“Household registration book,” Zhou Shuyan urged.

“Here,” Qi Sishen produced a household registration book from seemingly nowhere and handed it to Zhou Shuyan, “When are you getting your certificate?”

“If nothing unexpected happens, tomorrow,” Zhou Shuyan said.

Lu Youxi must be pretty anxious.

…

Qi Sishen shifted in his chair, “If you put it that way, I don’t feel like leaving tonight.”

Zhou Shuyan was getting his certificate tomorrow, and of course, he would have to bring his fiancée to the civil affairs bureau.

If Qi just stayed here, wouldn’t he be able to see her tomorrow?

Zhou Shuyan: “…”

“I really want to see what kind of woman is able to put her name in the spouse column next to yours, Zhou Shuyan,” Qi Sishen sighed.

Zhou Shuyan: “…”

It seemed that unless Qi Sishen saw her, he wouldn’t rest.

And if Qi Sishen was determined, he would definitely be able to see her.

Qi Sishen himself didn’t look it up, insisting on finding out from Zhou Shuyan in an official and open manner, which really showed Qi was a good friend.

“If you really want to see, just sneak a peek tomorrow without showing your face,” Zhou Shuyan said helplessly, “Don’t scare her.”

Qi Sishen almost couldn’t believe his ears that Zhou Shuyan had agreed.

“Okay!” Qi Sishen quickly agreed, afraid that if he missed this chance, there wouldn’t be another.

But now he was even more curious about Zhou Shuyan’s fiancée, the one he cherished so much that he was even afraid of frightening her.

Could Zhou Shuyan really have found such an unflappable wife?

So, that evening, Qi Sishen stayed in town.

The conditions in the town were average, and naturally, so were the hotels.

It wasn’t just about comparing them to the five-star hotels Qi Sishen was used to; they couldn’t even compare with ordinary hotels in small cities.

But to see Zhou Shuyan’s wife, Qi Sishen didn’t mind roughing it for one night.

Zhou Shuyan took the household registration book and went back to the village.

Early the next morning, he found a chance to contact Lu Youxi.

“I’ve brought the household registration book; you still have time to change your mind,” Zhou Shuyan reminded Lu Youxi at the end.

But as soon as he had said half of it, he saw Lu Youxi’s entire face brighten up.

Zhou Shuyan knew then that Lu Youxi wasn’t likely to change her mind.

“Let’s go and get the certificate now!” Lu Youxi immediately said.

Zhou Shuyan: “…”

Are you in such a hurry?

“Best not to delay,” Lu Youxi said seriously.

“Have you brought out your household registration book?” Zhou Shuyan asked.

“I’ve had my book for a while now, claimed I needed it for university registration,” Lu Youxi never did anything without being prepared.

Since she decided to get a certificate with Zhou Shuyan, she would certainly take care of all her own matters first.

“Wait for me a moment,” Lu Youxi said to Zhou Shuyan, then she ran back into her yard.

Not long after, she returned with the backpack she used to carry for school.

The Lu Family wasn’t wealthy, and with the Lu Family’s elders around, Lu Youxi only had that one backpack to her name.

Zhou Shuyan saw Lu Youxi carrying her backpack and thought she still looked like a student.

He sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose.

Even if marrying Lu Youxi for the certificate was fake, it still felt like he was taking advantage of a young girl.

Lu Youxi, on the other hand, was relieved. Thank goodness the new marriage law hadn’t come out; you could still get a certificate at 18.

She remembered that in another month, the legal age for marriage would be pushed back.

It seemed like the heavens were helping her.

Lu Youxi and Zhou Shuyan arrived at the civil affairs bureau.

Because today wasn’t a special day with a nice-sounding date, there weren’t many people queued at the civil affairs bureau for marriage registration.

They didn’t have to wait long before it was their turn.

Early marriages weren’t unusual at the time, especially in villages and towns, where they were even more common.

Therefore, the staff wasn’t surprised by Lu Youxi’s age.

The two of them smoothly obtained their marriage certificate.

Lu Youxi still remembered Zhou Shuyan’s real name.

Before, Zhou Shuyan had said that once they got the certificate, she could see it.

Once out of the civil affairs bureau, Lu Youxi opened the marriage certificate to look.

“Zhou Shuyan?” Lu Youxi murmured.

Zhou Shuyan didn’t respond, knowing that Lu Youxi wasn’t asking for an answer.

“I didn’t expect your name to sound so nice,” Lu Youxi looked at Zhou Shuyan’s name, “But the name Xu Mai I came up with is also nice.”

Zhou Shuyan: “…”

Lu Youxi vaguely felt that the name Zhou Shuyan sounded familiar, like she had heard it somewhere.

But at the moment, she couldn’t recall.

Having lived twice, she had forgotten when and where she had heard the name.

It must have been a faint impression, maybe just mentioned by someone in passing, otherwise, she wouldn’t have just a faint impression with no clear memory of who it was.

Unable to remember, Lu Youxi didn’t bother thinking about it anymore.

She kept the marriage certificate safe and went back to the village with Zhou Shuyan.

On the way, Lu Youxi couldn’t help saying to Zhou Shuyan, “Actually, if you used the fake name Xu Mai to marry me, I wouldn’t have known.”

Zhou Shuyan looked at her indifferently, “It’s illegal to marry under a false identity.”

Lu Youxi: “…”

Who knew Zhou Shuyan would chuckle lightly, “So it seems the law doesn’t apply to you, you don’t care.”

Lu Youxi: “…”

She just suddenly remembered such a thing and mentioned it casually.

Lu Youxi pursed her lips, since the purpose of getting the certificate with Zhou Shuyan was achieved, she didn’t want to argue with him.

When the two of them returned to the village, just as they reached the village entrance, Ge Qiangzhuang from the same village saw her walking with Zhou Shuyan and paused.

He couldn’t help letting his gossipy gaze wander back and forth between Lu Youxi and Zhou Shuyan.

Earlier, there had been rumors about the two of them in the village.

No wonder the Lu Family was eager to marry off Lu Youxi.

Could it be that Lu Youxi already had someone inside?

Thinking this way, Ge Qiangzhuang couldn’t help his eyes from landing on Lu Youxi’s belly.

Otherwise, he really couldn’t understand why the Lu Family would marry off a nice girl to Foolish Hu from the next village.

Speaking of which, Zhou Shuyan’s background was unclear, no one even knew his full name, and he lived off the little money Grandma Xu gave him; certainly not a good match.

But if the Lu Family really wanted to find Lu Youxi a good match, they wouldn’t have married her to Foolish Hu.

The most important thing was that Zhou Shuyan couldn’t afford a hefty bride price.

Thus, Ge Qiangzhuang had already concocted a complete backstory for Lu Youxi in his mind.
