Huo Hangfan's face turned pale, and he reached out to snatch the document from Chu Xixi's hand, but was stopped by Xu Yuanmo's quick eyes and hands.

"Sir, please respect yourself." Xu Yuanmo glanced at Huo Hangfan coldly and protected Chu Xixi behind him.

"Who the hell are you? What does it have to do with you if I talk to my girlfriend?!" Huo Hangfan was so angry that he yelled at Xu Yuanmo.

"Girlfriend?" Xu Yuanmo turned to look at Chu Xixi as if he had heard a funny joke. "Miss, who is this gentleman to you? Do you need me to call the police for you?"

Chu Xixi looked at the man in front of her. He was tall and straight, with deep facial features. He exuded a strong aura that made people want to rely on him. She suddenly felt that marrying this man seemed to be a good idea.

"No need, I have nothing to do with him anymore." Chu Xixi glanced at Huo Hangfan indifferently, "Please get out of the way, we are leaving."

Huo Hangfan wanted to say something, but was pulled back by Zhao Xueer, "Hangfan, don't bother with her, let's go!"

Seeing the two people leave in disgrace, Chu Xixi felt a surge of joy in her heart. She turned to look at Xu Yuanmo, "Thank you."

"You're welcome. Let's go get the certificate." Xu Yuanmo smiled faintly, took her hand and walked towards the Civil Affairs Bureau.

Looking at the backs of the two people leaving together, a hint of viciousness flashed in Huo Hangfan's eyes, and he secretly swore that he would never let Chu Xixi have an easy time!

Chu Xixi followed Xu Yuanmo into the Civil Affairs Bureau and suddenly thought of a question, "Um, it seems we haven't taken wedding photos yet?"

"No need to go through so much trouble. I have photos." Xu Yuanmo said, pulling out a photo from his mobile phone and handing it to her.

Chu Xixi took the phone and took a look. The woman in the photo had bright eyes, white teeth and a sweet smile. It was exactly herself.

"When did you take the photo? How come I didn't know about it?" Chu Xixi asked in surprise.

"A few months ago, at a design exhibition." Xu Yuanmo smiled faintly, "You were giving a speech on the stage, and I was sitting in the audience. I fell in love with you at first sight."

Chu Xixi was stunned. How come she had no impression at all?

"You are not..." Chu Xixi suddenly widened her eyes, "You are not in love with me at first sight, are you?"

Xu Yuanmo looked at her, his eyes gentle but firm, "Yes."

Chu Xixi's heart skipped a beat, and a strange feeling came over her. She suddenly remembered that she didn't seem to know the man's name yet.

"Um, what's your name?"

Xu Yuanmo: “…”

At that moment, Chu Xixi's heart seemed to be hit violently by something.

She clenched the wine glass in her hand and shook her head slightly, trying to get rid of the terrible thought. How could she think that? That person was Xu Yuanmo.

Xu Yuanmo... He always had that irresistible aura and confident smile, as if nothing could stop him. His eyes and eyebrows revealed a strong courage that made people want to rely on him.

Perhaps, deep down in her heart, she really hoped that he could save her from the water and fire. After hearing about his and his fiancée's various wonderful plans again and again, she sometimes couldn't help but imagine how great it would be if she could become a part of his plan.

However, she was only asking for trouble. Chu Xixi smiled bitterly and shook her head. How could she dream of being compared with Su Yuqing at this moment? As an orphan, she was not even worthy of carrying Su Yuqing's shoes.

As Chu Xixi thought about it, she drank the red wine in the glass without realizing it. The world in front of her seemed to become more blurred, and the laughter and joy gradually disappeared in her ears, turning into intertwined noises.

"Xixi, why are you here?" A gentle voice came from behind her.

Chu Xixi turned around and saw Lin Yueyin's concerned face. Her heart warmed slightly.

"I...I just want to be alone for a while." Chu Xixi's voice was hoarse.

Lin Yueyin gently held Chu Xixi's hand, "You don't need to be so lonely, Xixi. We can face everything together."

Chu Xixi's eyes softened, "Yinyin, will you really understand me?"

"Of course I will." Lin Yueyin nodded vigorously, "I have always hoped to share some of the burden with you."

"Thank you, Yinyin." Chu Xixi said with emotion.

"Don't be like this, we are good sisters." Lin Yueyin took Chu Xixi's hand and shook it gently, "Now, let's go upstairs together and show those self-righteous guys our strength."

Chu Xixi was infected by Lin Yueyin's optimism and courage and nodded.

"Okay, let's go up." She suppressed her anxiety and mustered up her courage, "Let's start our own era."

Just like that, under the provocative gazes of Huo Hangfan and Zhao Xueer, Chu Xixi and Xu Yuanmo walked out of the Civil Affairs Bureau with their marriage certificate.

"Then, about our marriage..." Chu Xixi spoke hesitantly as she walked out the door, but found that Xu Yuanmo had already made arrangements.

"Leave everything to me." Xu Yuanmo smiled gently, his eyes revealing deep doting.

The first place they met was the design school where she had studied. Walking in the familiar campus, they seemed to have returned to their youth, carefree. Under the setting sun, they sat side by side on the steps in front of the former teaching building, reminiscing about their youth.

Xu Yuanmo listened to Chu Xixi's story about her college experience. Her excitement and laughter seemed to bring him back to those innocent years. Students came and went, casting envious eyes on this good-looking couple. They seemed to have become a beautiful sight on campus.

"I heard that Huo Hangfan pursued you madly when you were in college. What exactly happened?" Xu Yuanmo suddenly asked.

Chu Xixi was shocked. It turned out that he was investigating her as well. But she didn't think much about it. Instead, she smiled bitterly as if a sore spot had been touched.

"That's all in the past." Chu Xixi said calmly, "Reality slapped me hard in the face and made me understand a lot of things."

Xu Yuanmo knew the pain in her heart and did not ask any more questions. He gently held her hand, as if conveying his warmth and support.

"Xixi, remember. No matter what happens, I will be by your side." He said seriously.

Under that warm sunset, their love seemed to have a good start. But no one knew what was waiting for them in the future.

Huo Hangfan seemed to have heard a huge joke. He laughed exaggeratedly, his voice as sharp as the cry of a night owl. "Chu Xixi, you don't really think this man is sincere to you, do you? With such a slut like you, who else would be willing to..."

"Pa!" The crisp sound of a slap interrupted Huo Hangfan's unfinished words. He covered his face in disbelief and stared at Chu Xixi, as if she was a monster that suddenly appeared. Seeing this, Zhao Xueer immediately screamed and rushed forward, but was frightened by Xu Yuanmo's look and froze in place.

"Hangfan is right, Xixi, you are still too naive. There is no such thing as true love these days. Men are all looking for novelty, and you..." Zhao Xueer said, and deliberately puffed out her chest, showing off her proud curves, trying to show her charm in front of Xu Yuanmo.

Chu Xixi felt her stomach churning. These two people were really a perfect match. One dared to speak, and the other dared to act. They were truly the epitome of "working together in cahoots."

"Shut up." Xu Yuanmo said coldly, and the temperature around him seemed to drop several degrees in an instant. He pulled Chu Xixi behind him and looked down at Huo Hangfan, his eyes full of mockery, "You? Are you worthy of mentioning the word 'true love'?"

Xu Yuanmo's words were like a slap in the face, slapping Huo Hangfan hard. His face turned red, but he couldn't say a word. He always knew that Xu Yuanmo's identity was not simple, but the other party had always been calm and indifferent. He thought that as long as he clung to the Zhao family, he could rest assured, but he forgot that there were some people he could never reach in his life.

"Mr. Xu, don't be angry. Hangfan is just not good at talking. Don't take it to heart with him." Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhao Xueer immediately put on a pitiful expression, trying to excuse herself and Huo Hangfan.

"Why should I bother with him? Is a gigolo who relies on women for a living worth wasting my time?" Xu Yuanmo smiled contemptuously, his tone full of disdain.

Huo Hangfan's face turned pale and blue. He hated it the most when people said he was a gigolo, but this was the fact and he couldn't refute it. He could only vent all his anger on Chu Xixi, "Chu Xixi, just wait for me, I won't let you go!"

Chu Xixi looked at the hysterical man in front of her, without a single wave of emotion in her heart, only deep disgust. She once thought that Huo Hangfan was the harbor in her life, a shoulder she could lean on, but she didn't expect that he was just a greedy and shameless parasite who only wanted to take but never thought about giving.

"Xu Yuanmo, let's go." Chu Xixi didn't want to waste any more time with these two people. She turned around, took Xu Yuanmo's arm, and left the Civil Affairs Bureau without looking back.

Watching the two people leaving, Huo Hangfan's eyes flashed with viciousness. He took out his cell phone and dialed a number. "Hello, it's me. Please help me with something..."

Xu Yuanmo brought Chu Xixi to a high-end restaurant. The decoration style of the restaurant was simple and artistic. Soft lights were sprinkled on the dining table, exquisite tableware was neatly arranged, and the air was filled with the faint scent of champagne roses, which made people feel extremely relaxed.

"What do you want to eat?" Xu Yuanmo handed the menu to Chu Xixi and asked softly.

"Whatever you want." Chu Xixi didn't have much appetite at the moment. She just wanted to finish the meal quickly and go home to have a good rest.

"Okay." Xu Yuanmo did not force him. He closed the menu, ordered a few dishes skillfully, and then opened a bottle of red wine.

"You seem very familiar with this place?" Chu Xixi looked around and asked curiously.

"Well, the owner of this restaurant is my friend." Xu Yuanmo replied calmly. He poured a glass of red wine for Chu Xixi, "Try it, this wine is very good."

Chu Xixi took the wine glass and took a sip. The wine was smooth and had a light fruity aroma. It was indeed a good red wine.

"Why do you want to marry me?" Chu Xixi put down the wine glass, looked straight into Xu Yuanmo's eyes and asked.

"Because..." Xu Yuanmo paused, a complex emotion flashed in his deep eyes, "Because I think you are very interesting."

Huo Hangfan looked at the scene in disbelief, his face turning pale and blue, as if a palette had been overturned. He pointed at Chu Xixi, his fingers shaking like Parkinson's, "You, you..."

"What do you mean by 'I'? If you've been dumped, just get out of here and stop getting in the way." Qin Shiyu pushed Huo Hangfan away and walked in front of Chu Xixi wearing high heels. She looked Xu Yuanmo up and down, nodded and praised him, "Not bad, sister. With this figure and this face, you're much better than that gigolo!"

Chu Xixi was amused by Qin Shiyu's exaggerated reaction, and her originally depressed mood became much lighter. She gently pushed Qin Shiyu, signaling her to calm down, "Okay, stop making trouble, let's go first."

Xu Yuanmo had been standing quietly beside Chu Xixi, his deep eyes following her all the time, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth. Hearing Chu Xixi's words, he slightly turned sideways and made a gentlemanly "please" gesture, "I'll take you there."

"Oh, you're quite a gentleman." Qin Shiyu raised his eyebrows, hooked his arm around Chu Xixi's shoulders, and said with a smile, "That's great, let's go, I'm going to experience the feeling of being picked up by a luxury car today."
