"Okay, let's get married." Chu Xixi made a decision, and her eyes became firm. She knew that no matter how bumpy the road ahead was, she had to face it bravely. And Xu Yuanmo, this unexpected man, might be the salvation of her life.

Under everyone's complicated gaze, Chu Xixi and Xu Yuanmo stood side by side in front of the window of the Civil Affairs Bureau, with an inexplicable smile on their faces. An accidental marriage was about to be staged in their lives, and the starting point of the script was today, a seemingly ordinary but extremely special day - January 2013, 1.

Xu Yuanmo's eyebrows were gentle, but his expression was very firm. He continued:

"I know what you are worried about. This is not a whim, but the result of careful consideration. Marriage is a major event in life, not a joke. I am willing to work with you to manage it seriously, and it is definitely not a joke."

Chu Xixi remained silent for a long time. She decided to believe in love again. She looked up at Xu Yuanmo and slowly raised the ring in her hand with uncertainty and hope in her eyes: "Will you be a good husband?"

Xu Yuanmo's eyes flashed with joy, and his gentle smile was full of sincerity: "I don't think I'm a good husband in the secular sense, but I'm willing to learn how to love for you."

Before they finished speaking, Huo Hangfan's angry roar interrupted them: "Xixi, you can't, you can't..."

However, his voice was gradually drowned out by the sound of the inspector's whistle from afar. Unknowingly, the people in the luxury car had already called the inspector. With the arrival of the inspector, Huo Hangfan was quickly taken away from the scene. His vicious eyes stared at Xu Yuanmo, while his eyes looking at Chu Xixi were full of pleading and regret.

Chu Xixi was finally sure at this moment that she no longer cared about anything about him. She turned to look at Xu Yuanmo, suppressing the surging and uneasiness in her heart, and suddenly said with a trembling voice:

"I know you may be sympathetic, but I don't need such sympathy. So, if you are willing - I want to try marriage again."

Xu Yuanmo's eyes flashed with a clear and joyful tenderness. He immediately took out the ring box, opened it, and pushed an equally exquisite ring in front of her: "Chu Xixi, I love you. I am willing to cherish and love you for my whole life. I will join hands with you in the future and be your support."

Chu Xixi stood in front of the Civil Affairs Bureau, the ring in her hand glowing coldly in the sun, but her mood was as cold as the metal. The flashing ring formed a sharp contrast with Huo Hangfan's secret girlfriend's hand on his chest, which was too ironic to look at.

She raised her head, her vision blurred. The man in front of her who once whispered softly and vowed eternity - Huo Hangfan - now seemed like a joke.

Huo Hangfan's panicked eyes were mixed with a hint of pleading, and he blurted out: "Xixi, listen to my explanation, it's not what you think..."

"Oh? Could that woman be your long-lost sister?" Chu Xixi raised a sarcastic smile, then mercilessly threw the ring in her hand away.

"It's not like that, Xixi, please believe me!" Huo Hangfan chased after the ring she had discarded, making excuses helplessly.

At this time, Xu Yuanmo's car slowly drove up and stopped in front of them. The car door opened, and his well-tailored suit and the noble temperament he inadvertently revealed made the scene quiet instantly. With a firm look in his eyes and steady steps, he walked towards Chu Xixi and put her under his protection.

"Ms. Chu, give me a chance and let me rescue you from this ridiculous game." Xu Yuanmo's tone was full of sincerity and compassion. The hand he extended was a man's salvation and a promise to a potential lover.

Chu Xi hoped for the man in front of her. His appearance was like a ray of light, dispelling the fog in her eyes. Although she was suspicious, she knew that the man in front of her would be the starting point of a new chapter in her life. She gently placed her hand on his palm, and felt not only the temperature, but also the silent promise.

Huo Hangfan watched this scene and hurriedly wanted to intervene, but was stopped by Xu Yuanmo's cold voice: "Huo Hangfan, you've performed enough."

Xu Yuanmo turned to Chu Xixi and whispered, "Come with me, I will give you the respect you deserve and the world you want."

The confusion in Chu Xixi's eyes began to dissipate, replaced by a firmness. She nodded gently and was about to tell her decision. At this moment, the sound of the flute in the distance gradually approached, and in an instant, it attracted the curious eyes of many pedestrians around. But in Chu Xixi's sight, there was only Xu Yuanmo's promise to her and the expectation of a new beginning...

The atmosphere at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau was tense and full of drama. Chu Xixi's heart was surging, like a small boat in the stormy sea, swaying and ready to fall.

"Xixi, you can't be with him. He is my uncle and we are a family." Huo Hangfan became more and more anxious, his tone filled with weak arguments and anxiety that was difficult to conceal.

All this, in the eyes of the onlookers, gradually gave rise to an indescribable drama. The staff of the Civil Affairs Bureau watched this scene and couldn't help but sigh softly. The complexity and changeability of modern love, in their eyes, is a new chapter every day.

Xu Yuanmo stood aside, with a complex look in his deep eyes. He could understand Chu Xixi's feelings at the moment. Facing betrayal and deception, the balance of trust had already tilted. He believed that Chu Xixi could make the most authentic choice.

"Uncle? Huo Hangfan, don't you think what you said is ridiculous? Since you are relatives, you should know that trust and loyalty should be mutual. If you can't even do the most basic things, how can you deserve the trust given to you by others?" Chu Xixi smiled coldly, and every word was filled with firm strength and clear sarcasm.

"Besides," she turned to Xu Yuanmo, her eyes twinkling, "at least in my opinion, Mr. Xu is a trustworthy person. I am willing to give him a chance and give myself a new start."

Xu Yuanmo nodded slightly, his eyes filled with undisguised emotion and admiration. He knew that Chu Xixi's decision required great courage. After all, who could have predicted the next turn of fate?

Then, he stretched out his hand and handed it to Chu Xixi. At that moment, a tacit understanding and bond seemed to be established between the two, full of expectations and challenges for the unknown future.

"Ms. Chu, I promise that this day will be the most memorable day in your life." Xu Yuanmo's voice was steady and firm, as if carrying some kind of magic, which gradually dissipated the uneasiness in Chu Xixi's heart.

"Please believe that what I give will be the most sincere." After he said that, the two of them held hands. The slight sound of the flute seemed to become the background, witnessing the beginning of this unexpected and absurd period.

"Actually, Huo Hangfan and I grew up together, and we... He once told me that maybe we fell in love over time, and I said I could give him some time to think about it, but he insisted on getting engaged right away and canceling the wedding if I didn't want to... Until I found the newspaper clippings in your study and saw every little detail about you and him... I'm sorry, this sounds outrageous, but I just don't want to see you sad..."

However, Huo Hangfan still maintained a slightly bent posture and explained to her in a soft voice. The rain hit his glasses, making it difficult to discern his eyes, but his anxious tone did not seem fake. He clearly saw that Chu Xixi's figure trembled and was obviously shaken.

Seeing that there seemed to be a turn for the better between the two, Xu Yuanmo felt a nameless anger boiling in his chest. Suppressing his emotions, he stepped forward and said something, but at this moment, every warm memory of Huo Hangfan became the sharpest arrow.

The phone suddenly rang, and Xu Yuanmo pointed at his phone to indicate to her that it was from the local supervision bureau. Huo Hangfan finally chose to send the surveillance video that proved Chu Xixi's innocence to the supervision bureau, but Chu Xixi knew that all this had become unimportant.

She was like a sharp sword being sheathed, raised brilliantly, and then quietly put it back into the sheath. Finally, she slowly nodded to Huo Hangfan. Huo Hangfan spoke excitedly, but was completely interrupted by Xu Yuanmo's words "You can go now". He directly pulled Chu Xixi into the car, and the two finally drove away.

After the rain, Huo Hangfan stared at the direction where Chu Xixi disappeared, his mind in disarray. He took out his cell phone, and the custom ringtone rang. Huo Hangfan realized it was Chu Xixi. He picked up the phone, said a few words, and hung up, his face gloomy. He knew the road ahead was full of thorns, but he, Huo Hangfan, would not give up easily.

Chu Xixi stood on the steps of the Civil Affairs Bureau, the sun shining on her body, but it could not dispel the haze in her heart. This day should have been the most important moment in her life, but the reality was a farce. Huo Hangfan, the man who swore to her for life, was now a stranger in her world.

"Explanation? You still have the nerve to ask for explanation when you use the things I designed to gild yourself?" Her words were sharp and her eyes revealed the disappointment and resentment that was difficult to conceal.

The twitching of Huo Hangfan's mouth revealed his panic. He reached out and tried to grab Chu Xixi's arm, but she decisively shook him off. "Don't touch me, your hands are dirty."

Chu Xixi found that her voice was so cold that it could almost freeze. She stared at Huo Hangfan, and the words "Please hide your dirty selfishness farther away" almost jumped out of her mouth, but she held it back. She took a deep breath, took off the ring that represented a false promise, and threw it fiercely in the direction of Huo Hangfan.

Just as she was about to leave this suffocating place, a tall and cold figure suddenly appeared in front of her. It was him - Xu Yuanmo.

"Chu Xixi, the world is not always disappointing." Xu Yuanmo's words revealed affirmation and warmth, and his deep eyes were reflected in Chu Xixi's pupils.

"I don't know what game you are playing, Xu Yuanmo." Chu Xixi tried to remain steady, but her voice trembled a little.

Xu Yuanmo smiled elegantly, revealing his deep dimples, "What I'm playing is not a game, but destiny. Believe me, I can give you everything you want." Under his unruly appearance, his hidden ambition gradually revealed itself.

When their eyes met, a subtle electric current seemed to jump between the two. Chu Xixi's heart was almost intoxicated by this strange yet familiar man, and an idea flashed through her mind - maybe, being with him, can really make her forget the pain of the past.

However, before Chu Xixi had time to analyze this strange feeling in depth, a hurried sound of footsteps broke the brief silence. A figure rushed into her sight, interrupting the confrontation between her and Xu Yuanmo. When Chu Xixi turned around, she found——
