Gu Ting took the initiative to take off the khaki coat for Qiao An'an from the shelf and helped her put it on like a gentleman. As he was attentively smoothing out the creases on her collar, his fingertips accidentally rubbed against her slender neck.

Gu Ting's fingers felt icy cold, like winter snowflakes that had yet to melt. Qiao An'an shivered, her body momentarily trembling, as a blush tinged her earlobes.

Gu Ting's gaze was fixed on Qiao An'an's ears and caught the entire process when they blush. A smile involuntarily stretched across his face, only to fade away in an instant. Then he took a step back.

He had already put on a coat for her.

Qiao An'an pretended to be calm and cleared her throat subtly. Putting on an act, she glanced at her wristwatch and said, "It's already 6 p.m. and the Civil Affairs Bureau has closed for the day. Even if we go there now, it will be a waste of time."

"Well, it doesn't matter if they work overtime for a while."

It appeared that Gu Ting had never taken "working hours" into consideration.

However, it must be mentioned that he was the richest young man in the world of this book and the Son of Fortune. There was nothing he would fail to do.

Gu Ting seemed to possess the ability to turn anything impossible to possible.

It was not until Qiao An'an sat in the back seat of Gu Ting's car that she realized the need for a Household Register to register a marriage.

But her Household Register was still in Qiao family!

Qiao family referred to the biological family of Qiao An'an, the female lead in the novel.

In the novel, Qiao An'an's mother passed away a long time ago. Shortly after her mother's death, Qiao An'an's father introduced her stepmother and her sister, who was half a year older than her, into the family.

In other words, her father had cheated on her mother before Qiao An'an was born.

Without her mother, little Qiao An'an naturally suffered a lot under the care of her scheming stepmother. In addition, Qiao An'an's exceptional diligence and beauty made her a constant thorn in the eyes of Qiao Niannian!

Not long ago, in order to ruin Qiao An'an's reputation, Qiao Niannian drugged her and sent her to the bed of an old man.

Fortunately, Qiao An'an, as the female lead of the novel, accidentally walked into Gu Ting's room.

"What's wrong, An'an?"

Gu Ting's clear voice was heard in her ears. Turning around, Qiao An'an noticed him leaning over slightly to fasten her seat belt.

"My Household Register is still in the house of my biological father and stepmother."

For some unknown reasons, Qiao An'an was hesitant to refer to Qiao family as her "home". She perceived it merely as the home of her father and his second wife.

After all, no one had ever regarded Qiao An'an as a family member since she was born.

"Then I'll go fetch it with you, OK?"

Her eyes twinkled slightly. After pondering for a moment, Qiao An'an suddenly came up with an idea.

"Before I go there, I need you to help me prepare something."

The car soon arrived at the gate of Qiao family' villa.

By the way, Qiao An'an's father had purchased a piece of land with the assistance of her mother in the earlier years. He had made a fortune by investing in real estate during the prime era of the industry, and now he was quite well-off.

Before pressing the doorbell, Qiao An'an reminded Gu Ting in an implicit way,

"My biological father, stepmother, and step-sister living here are all quite snobbish. I develop a bad relationship with them, so if they make any demand of you, just ignore them and do as I told you in the car just now. Please cooperate with me."

Gu Ting just stared at Qiao An'an with a smile, "Okay, I'll do as you have told me."

It was Aunt Zhang who opened the door. Seeing that it was Qiao An'an, she was taken aback and covered her mouth in astonishment. It seemed that she had not anticipated Qiao An'an's return at all. "Miss... Miss Qiao An'an."

Gu Ting held Qiao An'an's hand tightly, entwining his fingers with hers.

"Well, I was wondering who it was. It turns out to be my profligate sister."
