This meal was strange for Anran. Su Yicheng seemed to be really busy. Over the course of the meal, he only took a couple of bites. For the rest of the time, he was on the phone. However, his phone calls did not seem to be related to stocks, bonds, and finance. For the most part, they were things that she didn’t understand. However, there was one call that she did understand. He had called his secretary and told him not to come to pick him up, but to go and get his household register from his house and then wait for him at the Bureau of Civil Affairs.

After dinner, the two first went to Anran’s house. Anran told him to wait downstairs for a while while she ran upstairs to get her household register. While Anran was running downstairs with her household register, she paused for a while. She was going to get married just like this? Even she thought that it was somewhat unbelievable.

She had thought a lot last night, from the time when she was with Mofei, as well as her last six years. In the past, she could not let go because she missed that love she had then, and she could not forget the man. She even subconsciously wished for him to return to find her. However, when she had seen Mofei yesterday, everything had become clear to her. He was still the Mofei that he was six years ago. She still could not give him the things he wanted. Therefore, the results six years after would be the same as the results six years prior. At the end of the day, they could not be together.
She was now already 28 years old. To her, marriage was imminent. It wasn’t only her parents who were worried about it, but even Lin Li was concerned about her. Over this period of time, she had seen all kinds of marriage partners, from tall, short, fat, thin, everything… Even if she continued looking, it would be the same, and it couldn’t be ensured that she wouldn’t meet a second Lin Anjie. She didn’t know exactly what kind of person that man named Mufeng was, however, from her intuition, she didn’t think that he was a bad person. Also, from the things that she had seen in the past, she had good feelings toward him.
By the time they arrived at the Bureau of Civil Affairs, Secretary Zheng had already arrived. Su Yicheng told her to wait here for a while, and he went and said something to Secretary Zheng. Anran saw him look over at her with wide, disbelieving eyes.
In the Bureau of Civil Affairs, the two of them each filled out a form. Anran could tell that he was a gentleman and knew how to take care of women. He took care of all the photocopying and tedious matters. She followed beside him and didn’t need to do a lot of things. By the time the two got their marriage certificates, half an hour had already passed.

Outside the door, Anran held her marriage certificate in a daze. Getting married was so easy!
She opened the marriage certificate and looked at the picture on it. It was still a little warm. In the photo, the two people were not smiling sweetly, and they even had some distance between them. Anran lightly smiled. However, she suddenly saw the name on it, and her eyes widened into the size of almonds. That name Su Yicheng was clearly written!

Anran turned around to look at him, pointing to the name on the marriage registration and asking, “Why is your name Su Yicheng?”
Su Yicheng laughed. He was laughing at this girl’s slow reaction, and he somewhat scoundrelly said, “In the past, that was what my parents named me, so that’s my name.”
“You… isn’t your name Mufeng? Lin Li clearly told me that your name was Mufeng!” Anran said. She wouldn’t have remembered wrong. While she was on the way here, Lin Li had called to remind her. She clearly said that his name was Mufeng, so why was it that both his name and surname had changed?!
Just as Anran was in disarray, Lin Li suddenly called. She picked up the phone, and, before Anran said anything, Lin Li said, “Gu Anran, where did you go? When I called you just a bit ago, didn’t you say that you were on your way? Did you go to the Pacific Ocean or something? You still haven’t gotten there even after so long. Mufeng waited for you for two hours…”

Anran was somewhat in disarray. She held the phone and stared blankly at Su Yicheng, who was standing in front of her, his expression smiling, yet unsmiling, not saying anything. Then, she heard Chengxiang’s voice on the other side of the phone, “Wife, don’t get excited. You’re pregnant. The doctor just said that your emotions can’t be too big. I’ll talk to Anran.”
“Anran, where are you? Did something happen? Mufeng said that you never arrived,” Chengxiang asked through the phone.
“I-I went, an-and met someone…” Anran looked at Su Yicheng and said, dumbfounded. What on Earth was going on right now?

“Oh, so you met him? Just now, Mufeng called to say that the two of you didn’t meet. He waited there the entire time but you never arrived. Did you go to the wrong place?” Chengxiang guessed.
“I-I went to the ‘Left Bank Coffee’ on Guilin Road,” Anran truthfully said.
“Heavens!” Upon hearing this, Chengxiang couldn’t help but shout and then said, “Why is it Guilin Road? It should be the ‘Left Bank Coffee’ on Guizhou Road!”

“Gu Anran, why are you so stupid? I clearly said the ‘Left Bank Coffee’ on Guizhou Road. Why did you go to Guilin Road?!” On the other side, the phone seemed to have been snatched back by Lin Li, who exploded in anger. “Head over there quickly now. Go to the ‘Left Bank Coffee’ on Guizhou Road. If you don’t know the way, call a cab over. Mu Feng is still there. He’s still waiting for you there!”
“Lin Li,” Anran softly said, “it’s too late.”
“What the f*ck do you mean its too late? If you head over now, you can still make it. I’m telling you, Mu Feng is really good. If you miss him, you will regret it!” Lin Li was very angry. She was really about to explode from anger because of Gu Anran.
Anran looked at the man standing in front of her, and then looked at the red book in her hand and said, “Lin Li, I… I certified with someone”
“What certify? I’ll certify your ass!” Lin Li was so angry that she was a bit muddled.
1
Anran took a long breath, shut her eyes, and said, “I’ll call you later.” After she finished speaking, she turned off her phone. She understood Lin Li’s personality too well. If she didn’t turn off the phone after hanging up, she would definitely call her back. However, she clearly couldn’t explain anything to her right now. Even she herself was very confused.
Looking at Su Yicheng, who was in front of her, Anran clucked her tongue and asked, “You’re not Mufeng. Why did you deceive me?!” She was angry about being deceived.
“I didn’t mean to deceive you.” Su Yicheng softly smiled. He realized that he actually liked the way she looked when she was angry. Her wide eyes were very cute.
Anran stared at him, not understanding why, now that he was at the end of the rope, he was still lying with a straight face. He did not lie to her? Did he have another name or a nickname that was Mufeng?
Su Yicheng shrugged and said, “First of all, I never said that I had the Surname Mu. I’ve tried to explain a couple of times, but you never gave me the opportunity to speak. Secondly, it was you who directly came over and sat at my table without my permission. Thirdly, as for marriage, you were also the one who brought it up. I didn’t force or threaten you to do anything.”
“I…” Anran was speechless and unable to retort quickly. It was exactly as he said. That was exactly what she did. Thinking about it now, it was definitely her who had gone to the wrong place, and then, at the first impression, thought that he was the person that Lin Li was introducing her to. However, he accepted the error and adapted to it. He clearly encouraged her to keep being wrong! Looking at the marriage certification she was tightly holding in her hand, Anran suddenly thought of a question. This man clearly knew that she recognized the wrong person, so why did he marry her? She lifted her head, looked at him, and asked, “Why did you agree to register for marriage to me?”
Su Yicheng smiled. He didn’t answer and asked her, “Then, did you wish for me to reject you back then?”
“A normal person wouldn’t agree,” Anran muttered.
Su Yicheng laughed. He flipped through the marriage registration in his hand and said, “I also need a wife. I think that you are suitable.”
