One hour later.

It wasn't until Uncle Wu, Zhang Youye's driver, handed the documents to Zhang Youye that the matter was resolved.

Standing at the hotel room door, Zhang Youye asked repeatedly, "Neither my second uncle nor my father know, right?"

“Young Master, the masters don’t know anything about this,” Uncle Wu asked curiously. “But why do you suddenly need the household registration book? When Madam Ningying gave it to me, she specifically told me to ask again, because she was worried you…”

“I need it urgently, I’ll take it back tomorrow.” Interrupting Uncle Wu, Zhang Youye raised his hand to check the time, and then said, “I’m not going back tonight. Tell your aunt not to worry too much.”

"Yes, young master."

Watching Uncle Wu's figure disappear at the end of the corridor, Zhang Youye turned around and closed the door. He returned to the room and handed the documents in his hand to Shu Yi.

Sitting on the sofa, after receiving the documents, she casually tucked her stray hairs behind her ears.

Upon catching a glimpse of the fair skin behind her ears, he found it hard to resist the urge to try.

He leaned down and kissed her on the cheek.

"It's too late today, but we'll go first thing tomorrow morning and try to be the first couple."

"Okay." Not noticing the strange look in his eyes, Shu Yi readily agreed. "But Grandpa will worry if we don't go back tonight, so let's go back, shall we?"

I couldn't bear to waste such a great opportunity, but right now, there seemed to be no other reason to stay here.

After all, the two had only just confirmed their relationship, and it was neither reasonable nor emotionally right for him to rush things. He couldn't let his soon-to-be wife think he was too impatient.

After tonight, the raw rice can be cooked into cooked rice.

Just get through one night.

Just bear with it for now.

For him, it wasn't difficult.

With that thought, Zhang Youye picked up the backpack beside her, slung it over his shoulder, and gently raised his chin toward the door.

"Since we've finished eating, let's go. I'll take you home now."

Shu Yi casually responded and got up to walk to the huge floor-to-ceiling window.

We were so busy chatting that we didn't have time to properly appreciate the night view outside the hotel.

Standing before the floor-to-ceiling window offering panoramic views, the entire city seemed to be beneath her feet.

Outside the window, the CBD is ablaze with lights and bustling activity.

Amidst the bustling crowds and the interplay of light and shadow, the eye-catching neon lights stretch into a dazzling ribbon of light in the distance.

The stunning beauty of the city lights at dusk, the vibrant and colorful splendor, the magnificent and unparalleled city.

As expected of Jingnan, a place where countless people bring their families to leave their footprints.

The scene that came into view was one of extravagance and decadence that she, born in Jiaxing, had never experienced before.

And now she can stand high above, coldly observing all of this.

Shu Yi took a small sip of the red wine offered by Zhang Youye, then naturally held the glass, and sighed sincerely.

“Zhang Youye, this kind of life is actually quite good. Don’t you think it’s wonderful to have this feeling of having everything under control?”

"wonderful?"

With a lazy smile, Zhang Youye nodded, then naturally put his arm around her slender waist and stood with her in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. Their handsome faces, reflected in the neon lights, flickered in and out of focus.

"The scenery is beautiful, but it can't compare to yours in my eyes."

Shu Yi glanced at him sideways, then slowly raised her hand to cover the warm palm on her waist, her eyes heavy.

"You have to come with me and drive away those who are harmful to the Shu family. Now that Grandpa has found me, I am a member of the Shu family. Even if it's just for Grandpa's sake, I can't let the Shu family be divided up by bad people."

I never expected to be needed by the person I love.

I never knew it could be so fun.

She pursed her lips, tightened her grip on her slender waist, her throat tightened, and Zhang Youye tilted his head slightly, his forehead resting against hers.

After a moment's thought, he parted his lips slightly, his voice deep and seductive, tinged with obvious desire.

"I'm at your service whenever you need me."

After sincerely thanking him, Shu Yi glanced at the time and took the initiative to leave his embrace: "Then let's go."

They overestimated their own endurance.

The warmth in his arms dissipated in an instant. Seeing her turn to leave, Zhang Youye quickly grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms, which was exactly what he expected.

Standing beneath the floor-to-ceiling windows offering breathtaking views.

In the stunning twilight, he held her tightly around the waist with one hand and supported the back of her head with the other. A few strands of her hair brushed against his face, causing an indescribable itch.

Her unique scent filled his nostrils once more, and he buried his face in her neck, inhaling it greedily.

"Don't go back tonight, how about staying here?"
