Chương 17: Getting Registered
Xu Anyi twirled the fork around in her hand, "Xia Yiwei. . . Actress and model."
She snapped her fingers together, "Then, I will model first!"
In the past, Xu Anyi had always loved to buy and wear pretty clothes and take pictures. She quickly became a fashion icon in the upper class society and her outfits would often be copied by other girls, although never as successful.
In the past, many luxury brands had even asked her to model for them, as she had a good family background, was pretty, and had a flawless body. However, even though she had always wanted to model, she had rejected them because Lu Yuzhe had said he did not want her to be too exposed and out in the public.
So, she listened to Lu Yuzhe and started keeping a low profile, trying to not appear in public often. Therefore, most people not in the upper class circle did not know or recognize her.
But now. . . Not only was she going to do what she liked, but since Xia Yiwei liked the entertainment industry so much, wouldn't it be a pity if she didn't purposely stick her leg into the game to mess it up a little bit for Xia Yiwei?
Xu Anyi grinned, "Next step, my dad's company, and then. . . my innocence."
Her expression stiffened slightly and then she smiled at him before she looked down and continued to eat.
From the other end of the table, Si Mu looked at her for a while, deep in thought.
He could still see Xu Anyi, the seductive, proud, sexy, confident Xu Anyi. Although she had lost a lot of her arrogance and pride after five years, Si Mu could see that no one could take her attitude away from her.
This was the woman he liked five years ago and still likes now. This was Xu Anyi.
Suddenly, his chair slid back across the floor as he stood up, grabbing a napkin as he gently wiped his lips with it. Xu Anyi looked up in surprise at his sudden movement, "What are you doing?"
He crumpled the napkin up and placed it onto the table, looking down at her from his towering height, "The county clerk's office opens at 9. We should get there early."
The county clerk office?
Xu Anyi's mouth fell open slightly as she realized what he was talking about. She raised an eyebrow as she studied him, surprised to find that his expression was completely serious and sincere as he looked at her with anticipation.
She could not help but feel surprised that he wanted to get married and registered so quickly. If he just wanted to use her as a shield against his parents, would getting registered be necessary?
However, she was not going to oppose his decisions and she took one last bite before standing up as well. Seeing this, Si Mu grabbed his jacket and turned around to leave, but as they reached the end of the dining room, Xu Anyi stopped.
There was a mirror at the side of the hallway, and she looked at her own reflection in the mirror, still wearing the simple and crinkly clothes from the prison.
Her jaw tightened as she gazed at herself, lifting a hand up to push a strand of oily hair to the back of her ear. Si Mu realized that she had stopped and he turned around to see her distressed expression, and he immediately knew what she was thinking.
He opened his mouth to say something but after a moment, he closed it again, pressing his lips together.
Xu Anyi took another step closer to the mirror and stopped. Then, she turned to look at him and asked softly, "Before we go. . . Can I go take a shower and get ready first?"
Although it wasn't her first marriage certificate, she still did not want to look like this in the picture. Even if it was temporary, who knew how long she would have the certificate?
Si Mu nodded, "Take your time. I don't have work today."
He turned around and began walking in the other direction. They turned a corner and reached a flight of stairs that circled up to the second floor.
On the second floor, they walked down a hallway and reached two doors right next to each other.
Si Mu pulled out a key and opened the door to the room on the left at the very end of the hallway, "This is your room."
He stepped to the side and glanced at the room right next to it, "This is mine."
Xu Anyi looked at the two rooms, "Thank you."
Then, she entered her room and shut the door behind her, opening the lights. The room was enormous, even larger than the bedroom she lived in growing up, which was already massive for one person.
It was designed using light white and beige colors, and the overall design was exactly how she liked it. From the setup to the colors to the decorations, everything matched her taste so perfectly that she wondered who had designed this room.
The bathroom was to the left after walking in, and further into the room, there was a working table and vanity to the right and a large bed to the left.
At the end of the room, there was a balcony, which was opened, and the sunlight spilled in from outside. She stepped out into the balcony and saw a beautiful garden filled with flowers beneath her on the first floor, and there were no houses either as her view was filled with plants and greenery.
She closed the balcony door and walked back into the bathroom to take a shower, so Si Mu would not have to wait for her for too long.
She cautiously stepped into the shower place and felt the warm water rush down her body, closing her eyes as she took a deep breath.
Everything was so perfect that she felt like she was dreaming. . . And she was beginning to feel scared of waking up.

After taking a long shower, Xu Anyi stepped out and dried her body, wrapping it up in a towel. She looked at the dirty clothes she had tossed onto the ground and realized that she did not have anything to change into.
Slowly, she peeked her head out of the bathroom door, and then walked out when she did not see anyone. There was another door across from the bathroom, but it was closed.
She pulled it open and found that it was a walk-in closet.
The space was enormous and she did not know how there was room for it Si Mu's room should be right next to it. Inside, the closet was filled with racks of clothing all organized according to color.
Xu Anyi couldn't hide her excitement as she ran her fingers through the soft fabric, having not seen so many beautiful clothes in over five years.
In prison, she could only wear the inmate outfit that was a dusty grey color and reeked of smoke or rotting food from the cafeteria.
Xu Anyi's eyes sparkled as she walked to the rack filled with white clothes and picked out a simple blouse and a pair of jeans.
Then, she returned to the bathroom and changed into it. Surprisingly, the clothing fit her, although it was slightly large as she had lost a lot of muscle and weight in the past five years.
Still, she looked better than ever before.
In the bathroom, the cabinets were also filled with skincare and the vanity was also organized with rows of makeup, and Xu Anyi took her time as she looked through all of the cabinets.
The clothes, skincare, and makeup were obviously for girls but Si Er had said that no one else lived here but Si Mu.
So. . . did he prepare all of this in one night?
