Read Avengement :: Chapter 11：Civil Affairs Bureau Registration?

"Hmm..." Zhan Yan opened her eyes, looking at him with confusion.

Gu Moxi saw that she didn't refuse, and at first, his kisses were a bit awkward. But it's true what they say about guys having natural instincts. In no time, his movements became more skillful, breaths getting faster. Her lips were so soft, and the taste was even better than he imagined. He almost got addicted, holding onto her tightly, not wanting to let go. All the warmth in his body flowed downwards. After a while, when she was almost out of breath, he finally let her go, taking a breath himself, his gaze deep and unreadable.

Zhan Yan's gaze showed some surprise, clearly not expecting him to suddenly kiss her like that. With their faces so close, she could almost feel the warmth of his breath on her face. His deep eyes held complexity and a hint of surprise, while his brows and eyes were cool. She turned her head to look at the pitch-black night, the bright neon lights of the city hurting her eyes. She couldn't figure out his thoughts, but she didn't want to continue this ambiguity. She couldn't believe he would fall in love with her after just a few meetings. Love, what's that? A man can whisper sweet words to you while stabbing you fatally. He may love you, but he loves himself more. She had fallen once, how could she fall again in the same place? Her refusal was already clear: "I'll go back by myself."

Her indifferent voice struck Gu Moxi's heart. With a tight feeling in his chest, in his daze, she had already turned and walked away. He pursed his lips tightly, the depths of his eyes murky and complex. He had thought about her various reactions, but he never expected her to refuse so directly. His brows furrowed.

The next day, Gu Moxi parked his car at the Qingxi Repair Shop again. Getting out of the car, he saw her alone under the car, repairing it. Her originally fair face was stained with black marks from the car oil, especially on her nose, where half of her delicate nose was blackened. Gu Moxi suddenly felt a pang of heartache. What couldn't a girl do? Why was she fixing cars? Although he hadn't interacted much with women before, he knew that hardly any woman liked doing this kind of dirty, strenuous work. Taking off his coat, he walked over, snatched the old pliers from her hand, and draped his coat over her arm. "Let me do it." Rolling up his sleeves, he dove under the car.

She stared blankly for a moment, watching him skillfully tighten the screws. After checking the engine and throttle, seeing no problems, he crawled out from under the car. Although her face wasn't stained, her white shirt was smeared with a large black mark. "Do you have any water to drink?" Zhan Yan asked.

Gu Moxi, without responding, looked at the half-empty bottle of mineral water in her hand, then glanced at the large box of mineral water on the ground. "Yes, I'll get it for you."

Gu Moxi smoothed out the wrinkles on his shirt that had just been wrinkled, his expression unchanged. He took the half-empty bottle of mineral water from her hand, unscrewed the cap, and took a big gulp, almost finishing the bottle. Zhan Yan looked at him and said, "I've already drunk from that bottle."

Gu Moxi ignored her and took another sip before tossing the empty bottle away. "I've found you a job. It's in the city center. I've already spoken to your boss, so you can just go with me."

After hearing his words, Zhan Yan fell silent for a moment. "I'm not going."

"You have to go even if you don't want to. What's a girl doing in a place like this?" Gu Moxi didn't care about her words, directly grabbing her hand and stuffing her into the car. "By the way, have you graduated from high school?"

Zhan Yan looked at him with a complicated expression. She wasn't afraid of people treating her badly; she was afraid of people treating her well. In the past, she had only focused on one man, prioritizing everything around him, especially since he came from a strong background. Everyone treated her with respect and flattery. She had a cold personality and rarely interacted with others. During her five years in prison, her only thoughts were not to be killed and not to let anyone discover her identity. In a place filled with all sorts of men, there were killers, rapists, perverts... all kinds of people. In such a dog-eat-dog place, if she wasn't ruthless and strong, she would only meet death. So for the past five years, she had only been fighting constantly, making herself stronger. She had almost forgotten what it felt like for someone to care about her. Suddenly, someone was being nice to her, and she didn't know how to refuse.

"Why aren't you saying anything?" Gu Moxi fastened his seatbelt after getting into the car, noticing that she was still motionless and not reacting.

"Do you like me?" Zhan Yan suddenly looked at him, her head turned to the side.

Gu Moxi's hand holding the cigarette trembled, clearly not expecting her to say those words so directly. His heart tightened, suppressing his excitement as he took out a cigarette, lit it, and started smoking. The hazy smoke surrounded him, blurring his features. With a cigarette between his index and middle fingers, he leaned lazily against the backrest, his posture graceful and attractive. Smoke rings emerged from his mouth, and his lips were very beautiful, making people unable to help but want to look at them again. After a while, he stubbed out the cigarette butt and threw it out of the window before suddenly saying, "What if I said I do?" He stared into her eyes, wanting to know her reaction.

Zhan Yan fell silent for a moment, then asked, "What do you like about me?"

Gu Moxi raised his hand to gently touch the corner of her eye, the intense tenderness in his eyes unmistakable. Full of deep and unresolvable affection, it was evident that he couldn't hide it. His gaze met hers, and her heart trembled. She immediately turned her head, afraid of getting lost in his intense and tender gaze. It had been so long since she had seen such a gentle look. Ever since her mother became a vegetable, no one had looked at her with such tenderness.

There was silence between them. Gu Moxi was stunned for a long time, looking at her eyes, he honestly said, "I don't know."

Hearing his words, Zhan Yan's lips curled up in a mocking and indifferent manner. Gu Moxi, you said you like me, right? If you like me, how come you can't say what you like about me? She looked at him suddenly wanting to ask, how many times have you said these words to women?

Gu Moxi saw the disdain in her eyes, his heart tightened, fearing she would leave. He quickly grabbed her head with one hand, their eyes meeting. His eyes were full of deep affection and seriousness as he repeated each word solemnly, "I only like you." He regretted not saying more sweet words before. Facing the woman in front of him who made his heart race, all the words turned into these simple five words. For him, "I only like you" was all he wanted to express. Zhan Yan wouldn't know how solemnly and seriously he said those words.

Zhan Yan sneered with disdain. "Is that so?" She looked at him, suddenly wanting to ask him, how many times have you said those words to women?

Zhan Yan sneered with disdain. "Is that so?" She looked at him, suddenly wanting to ask, how many times have you said those words to women?

Zhan Yan was nervous this time, her hand gripping tightly. After a long while, she said, "Are you serious?"

As they walked, Gu Moxi suddenly turned his head and said, "I like you."

Zhan Yan stared into his deep eyes. His ink-black pupils shimmered like polished obsidian, still as bottomless as ever. At this moment, the turbulent emotions in his eyes were undisguised, calmly looking at her, almost as if he could devour her alive. Zhan Yan's heart trembled fiercely, her clenched fists gripping tightly. She felt almost powerless to meet his gaze, and she avoided it, suddenly saying, "Gu Moxi, you don't understand me, yet you want to register with me? Or if you like me now, but later realize it was just a misconception, what then? Marriage is not a game. I can't register with a man I've only met a few times."

As Gu Moxi heard her refusal, his heart sank gradually, his eyes growing darker, his expression turning gloomy. He slammed on the brakes, stopping by the Civil Affairs Bureau, his tone domineering as he said directly, "Where's your household registration book?" Seeing her unmoving, he grabbed her bag directly, found her ID card, and pulled her along forcefully into the Civil Affairs Bureau. With a somewhat unpleasant tone, he threw out a domineering remark, "After we register, you'll know whether I'm impulsive or not."

Zhan Yan was dragged along by him all the way into the bureau. Gu Moxi dialed a number as he walked, saying, "Wait for me in the lobby of the Civil Affairs Bureau." He wanted to take a good look at this heartless woman now. Was he serious or not? It was the first time in his life he had confessed to a woman, and yet he was repeatedly questioned. If it were any other woman, perhaps he wouldn't have cared much and would have eagerly pulled her into his arms. But being rejected again and again by this woman made him doubt his own charm. This damn woman, he would show her how he could punish her.

"Gu Moxi, let go of me first." She forcefully shook off his hand, standing in front of him and staring at his face seriously, confirming once again, "Are you really planning to register with me? You have to understand, once you choose to register with me, there's no turning back. You will belong to me, body and soul. My possessiveness is strong. If you dare to like another woman, I will deal with you myself." There was a deep, cold ruthlessness in her eyes.

Gu Moxi's tone was deep, his eyes showing indulgent tolerance and tenderness. He lowered his head slightly, gently touching her forehead, feeling satisfied in his heart. "Alright, I belong to Yan Yan, body and soul." His previously tense face was now filled with a radiant smile. His features were inherently handsome, exquisite enough to be unforgettable. Previously, he always wore a stern expression, exuding the dignity and oppressive aura of someone in power, making people afraid to meet his gaze directly. It was easy to overlook his perfectly delicate face. Now, with a faint smile on his exquisite and beautiful face, his demeanor was calm, and his every move exuded a graceful elegance, making him extremely pleasing to the eye. Even Zhan Yan, who usually paid little attention to appearances, was somewhat stunned. She had never seen a man who looked so captivating.

As people passed by, they couldn't help but look at the two of them, their outstanding appearance and extraordinary demeanor drawing frequent glances. However, most of the attention was focused on Gu Moxi. With a calm and composed expression, Gu Moxi looked up, and several older ladies were left dumbfounded, their faces turning red. It was only then that Zhan Yan truly realized how terrifying the visual impact of this man's appearance could be.

"Brother, I finally found you." Mo Cheng handed over the documents he was holding to Moxi, but his eyes were fixed on Zhan Yan. His mouth was wide open, and he exclaimed eagerly, "Sister-in-law, do you still remember me? I'm Mo Cheng!" Under his brother's intense pressure, Mo Cheng's voice grew quieter and quieter. What kind of look was that in his brother's eyes? Just because he glanced at his sister-in-law a few more times, did he have to give him such a cold, sharp gaze? If his possessiveness was this severe before they registered, what would it be like after they did? Would his brother chain his sister-in-law up and not let her go out?

Zhan Yan's gaze fell on Mo Cheng for a moment. "I remember. Mo Cheng."

"Sister-in-law, you're so kind to me." Mo Cheng's eyes darted around, seeing his brother clearly in a submissive state. Who would be in charge in the future? His attempts to please Zhan Yan surged up in his heart, thinking about how with Sister-in-law as a support, would his brother still be so strict with him? "Sister-in-law, let's all have a meal together as a family!"

As soon as Mo Cheng's words fell, Gu Moxi's face darkened, and he forcefully dragged her into the Civil Affairs Bureau. Suddenly, he remembered something and hurriedly shouted, "Brother, it seems that same-sex marriage is not allowed in China!" He flipped open his phone, glanced at it carefully, and rushed in, shouting urgently, "Brother, I've already checked it for you. You can register in the Netherlands."

As soon as he finished speaking, all eyes were on Gu Moxi and Zhan Yan. Gu Moxi's face turned blue and black, and he squinted at Mo Cheng. Mo Cheng also realized that his voice had been a bit too loud, and he quickly shut his mouth.

The staff member handling the marriage certificate stared at Gu Moxi and Zhan Yan for a moment, knowing that the tall man in front of him was definitely not ordinary. His imposing aura was extraordinary, and with just a glance, he felt his heart skip a beat. How could he afford to offend such a person? But he swallowed his saliva and forced a smile, "Sir, same-sex marriage is not allowed in China."
