Yan Luoxi didn't show any emotion when speaking with Li An at the moment; she left him there, still smiling foolishly, while she closed her eyes and quietly waited in line.

After waiting for a long time, Yan Luoxi realized that no one had called them in. She opened her eyes to take a look and was secretly surprised by what she saw.

The registration hall of the Civil Affairs Bureau was filled with people; she couldn't help but widen her eyes in surprise. As she listened to the murmurs around her, she learned that today was supposedly an extremely rare good day for registering marriages. According to rumors, those who registered on this day were destined to be together until old age. Many had come here today to register, and there were at least dozens of couples ahead of Yan Luoxi and Li An in line, with more people continuously arriving.

Yan Luoxi was already not very willing to get registered, and seeing so many people made her think about giving up. She quietly discussed the matter with Li An, saying, "Why don't you first have someone let my mom out, and we can come back tomorrow to register You can trust me; I'll definitely keep my word."

At this point, Li An had heard that today was a good day for registering marriages. He held onto Yan Luoxi, unwilling to leave: "No way, it's such a good day today; if we change the date, who knows when another one will come I can call someone to let your mom out on my side. But choosing a date is not as good as taking advantage of this opportunity. We must get married registered today."

Seeing him so stubborn, Yan Luoxi felt annoyed and said grumpily, "I don't want to wait anymore; I'm worried about Mom's situation."

"Then let's not wait," Li An said after making a phone call. He then led Yan Luoxi into another room.

Before they even entered the room, staff members greeted them warmly and ushered them inside, handing Li An several forms and saying, "Mr. Li, you just need to sign here."

Yan Luoxi hadn't prepared herself for this yet when Li An handed her a pen and pointed at it, saying, "Wife, sign here.

This call of "wife" sounded like a matter settled.

Yan Luoxi held her pen, somewhat afraid. Once she signed this character, there would be no turning back for the rest of her life.

Lǐ An was a bit anxious seeing Yan Luoxi's slightly dazed expression and urged her, "Wife, don't just stare, hurry up and sign! The staff are waiting!"

Yan Luoxi glanced at the eager staff member beside her and listened to the noise of those waiting outside. She let out an “oh” and mechanically signed.

The staff handed them a bright red little booklet with three large gilded characters—“Marriage Certificate”—printed on it shortly after. Lǐ An received it as if he had found a treasure, his eyes shining brightly as he flipped through the pages.

Yan Luoxi did not look at the marriage certificate and walked out of the room in a daze. Standing under the sunlight, she couldn't help but shiver, feeling that everything was like a dream; in the blink of an eye, she had become Lǐ An's wife.

While Lǐ An was still happily looking at his little booklet, Yan Luoxi, who felt suffocated with pent-up emotions, coldly said, "I've already married you. Can you please make a call to let my mother out"

Lǐ An, whose face was filled with joy, frowned slightly but still got into the car to make the phone call.

After hearing Lǐ An finish his phone call and tell her that her mother would be released soon, a huge weight lifted off Yan Luoxi's heart.

"Luoxi, we are finally husband and wife now!" After putting down the phone, Lǐ An looked at Yan Luoxi with unlimited joy once more.

Yan Luoxi glanced at Li An and then turned to look out of the car window.

Li An, who had been hurt by being neglected, felt his happy mood slowly fade. The helplessness and sadness in Yan Luoxi's eyes were so obvious that it diminished the happiness he had longed for.

Seeing Yan Luoxi staring absentmindedly, Li An's heart sank gradually. However, even if they fell into a dark hell or tormented each other from then on, he could not miss this opportunity. Without Yan Luoxi, his life would be in eternal darkness...

Li An stretched out his arm and disregarded Yan Luoxi's slight struggle, hugging her sorrowful and lost-in-thought figure close to him, "Luoxi, we are already married; you have to accept this reality!"

The shadows of the two people merged under the bright sunlight. Yan Luoxi's heart was darkened; she closed her eyes quietly and let Li An hold her for a while.

After releasing Yan Luoxi, Li An drove the car with one hand and fondled the red booklet in his other hand with great affection. Yan Luoxi shot him an angry glance, "We are going to pick up my mother now; don't tell her about us getting registered yet."

"Why not" The elated Li An was extremely excited at that moment and wished everyone in the world knew he had married Yan Luoxi.

"If Mother sees me registering with you, she will inevitably feel guilty. Let’s tell her about it later." Yan Luoxi sighed softly.

Li An snorted inwardly; your mother wouldn't be so considerate to feel guilty She might even think it's a blessing in disguise!

In his heart, he thought that way, but he didn’t dare to say anything out loud. Since he had just managed to appease his wife, everything would follow her wishes.

An Li drove to pick up Yan Luoxi and bring her to fetch Xue Liping. When Xue Liping walked out of the detention center, her back seemed to have visibly hunched under her suit jacket, and her previously well-maintained face now appeared somewhat aged. She felt slightly awkward as she saw An Li in front of her.

An Li was acutely aware of all the ins and outs of this matter; he felt deeply sorry for Xue Liping. He warmly invited her to get into the car, whispering, “Auntie, you've suffered this time. I will properly arrange your life and work from now on.”

Xue Liping's face flushed as she awkwardly smiled at An Li, saying, "It was my fault; I was blinded by greed and did something that harmed the company."

"Auntie, don't overthink it. If I had known about this earlier, I wouldn’t have allowed them to investigate your accounts." At this moment, An Li had already decided he would do his best to compensate Xue Liping.

Since registering with An Li, Yan Luoxi felt like she had been tricked and was quite upset. Now that she could finally sit beside Xue Liping, holding her mother's arm, she believed everything she had put in was worthwhile.

The two of them took Xue Liping to the city’s most luxurious bathhouse for a massage and spa treatment. While Xue Liping slept during the spa session, Yan Luoxi came out early to wait outside.

An Li had already come out earlier and was sitting in the lounge reading newspapers. Seeing Yan Luoxi emerge from inside, he happily went over to her and asked, "Luoxi, is the massage here comfortable"

Yan Luoxi didn’t feel like talking to him and merely gave a faint acknowledgment.

An Li had waited for this moment for far too long. He grabbed Yan Luoxi's hand which was resting on the sofa; she instinctively tried to pull away, but An Li held her tightly, not letting go. With earnest eyes, he looked at Yan Luoxi and said, "Luoxi, I did indeed make mistakes before; I was a fool worthy of death. But heaven has brought us together again. Trust me, this time I will change for the better. I don't expect you to accept me right away. Just watch how I improve over time!"rd Lian's cheerful voice carried by the night breeze: "Of course it can be done! Today, I will fulfill all your requests.""Oh my god!" Yan Luoxi exclaimed happily, turned around, hugged Lian, tiptoed...
