Chapter 31: Registering the Marriage (Part 1)

lationship before. Thinking about what happened today, she grew so angry that her courage rose, and she said coldly, "Starting tomorrow, I will resign from Ainer Tech, and you won't even be my Mr. Li....Chapter 31 (Part 1) Registering Our Marriage

Yan Luoxi didn't expect Ran Xu to say this. She was so surprised that she stammered, "R-regist-ter our m-marriage! Me and y-you!"

Ran Xu raised his eyebrows, "Yes, you and me. Registering our marriage."

The room was brightly lit, allowing Yan Luoxi to clearly see Ran Xu's face. He looked young, handsome, and sunny. This man was in the prime of his life, successful in his career with a generous income. He treated her gently, showing great care.

From every perspective, he appeared to be an excellent husband. But for Yan Luoxi, she hesitated at the thought of registering their marriage!

When something seemed too good to be true, it often felt unreal.

Anxious, she diverted her gaze and turned her face slightly, "I just want to avoid Li An. I don't have to resort to such extreme measures."

"Luoxi, aren’t you aware of Li An’s character As long as we are not married, he won’t stop pursuing this matter!" Ran Xu's deep eyes were like the sea, conveying a profound message.

Yan Luoxi admitted that what Ran Xu said was true. But to immediately register their marriage with him now, she simply couldn't bring herself to do it!

She still had feelings for Zhou Guangtao in her heart, and the affection she felt towards Ran Xu could not yet be called love. She couldn't accept him as her husband, either spiritually or physically!

Ran Xu seemed to have read Yan Luoxi's mind and coaxed her gently: "Luoxi, you think that by registering our marriage, it means we're officially together for life Silly girl, no, I'm only helping us get rid of Li An’s harassment.

What kind of person is Li An! What sort of family is the Li household! It's not to boost anyone else’s morale and dampen our own, but we truly can't compete with them. So we need to come up with a plan.

Luo Xi, registering our marriage now is just for the purpose of dispelling Li An's intentions towards you; how we interact in the future will remain unchanged. We won’t hold a wedding ceremony and I won't make any overstepping moves. If one day you still feel that I’m not right for you and can't accept me, we can file for divorce at any time."

Yan Luoxi met Ran Xu's affectionate gaze; as she thought about his suggestion, her heart began to race irregularly.

Ran Xu reached out a hand, tenderly caressing Yan Luoxi’s face. "Luoxi, what exactly are you hesitating about Are you afraid that I don't love you enough In truth, I've loved you for a long time now; from the moment we first met, you captivated me and because of my love for you, I threw caution to the wind, leaving everything behind to be with you..."

As he spoke those words, Ran Xu's handsome face softened into an unusual tenderness. Yan Luoxi felt as if she had fallen into a web of warmth; her lips trembled slightly and her eyes reddened from emotion. No woman could resist the charm of such a passionate declaration of love without feeling proud and her heart racing.

"Luoxi, shall we go register now I'm doing this all because I love you, just to prevent Li An from taking you away," Ran Xu’s warm breath brushed across Yan Luoxi's face; it seemed as though her blood was boiling with excitement.

She thought about Zhou Guangtao—had they registered their marriage back then, would they not be so easily separated She recalled the Li An who could appear at any moment...

Yan Luoxi lowered her eyelids, and her face unconsciously turned slightly red. She quickly answered in a barely audible voice: "Okay... we'll go register."

"Luoxi, thank you," Ran Xu excitedly stretched out his arms to embrace Yan Luoxi tightly. His tone was filled with indescribable joy.

Yan Luoxi leaned on Ran Xu's chest; her rationality seemed about to vanish completely. The pain, loneliness, helplessness, and fear of these days... all these feelings were like an invisible hand pushing her closer to Ran Xu.

She wasn't actually very familiar with Ran Xu, yet things had developed to the point where they needed to register their marriage. Wasn't this rather crazy

Ran Xu knew Yan Luoxi was not entirely comfortable with him hugging her, so he let go after a short while, gently patting her shoulder and running his fingers through her silky hair: "Luoxi, Li An is very capable; he must have already found out your exact location now. So we need to leave here immediately and avoid being found by him. Once our marriage registration goes through successfully, there won’t be anything to fear from him finding us."

"Where should we go now Should we wait at the Civil Affairs Bureau until they open" Yan Luoxi asked with a hint of amusement.

Ran Xu actually put on an expression as if he were seriously thinking it over. He then checked his watch: "It’s not possible for tomorrow; today is Friday, and civil affairs departments don’t work during weekends. It looks like we need to go somewhere else and stay there for a couple of days."

Although Yan Luoxi felt that the sudden appearance of this love was rather strange and their marriage registration seemed inexplicable, compared to Li An's aggressive pursuit, everything else appeared insignificant.

Following Ran Xu’s suggestion, she started packing up things while they made an immediate move during the night.unselfish goodwill in the world. Everyone's actions are driven by some form of self-interest.In her current state, which was like recovering from a serious illness and crying herself out, she felt men...
