"Is it really that exaggerated?" Xu Zixi said with feigned disgust, but still stepped forward and gave him a quick hug. Then she pulled back immediately.
Yan Yincheng was quite dissatisfied. He had stayed up all night, but this was all the reward he got. However, Xu Zixi soon silenced him with breakfast.
Eating the food she made with her own hands early in the morning greatly soothed Yan Yincheng's taste buds and stomach. He calmed down and stopped making a fuss.
After breakfast, the two quietly left the hospital again. Once they got in the car, Xu Zixi asked, "Brother Cheng, where are you taking me today?"
Yan Yincheng simply replied, "You'll know when we get there."
Forty minutes later, the car stopped in front of a building. When Xu Zixi got out and looked up, she saw the signboard - "Fengcheng East City Household Registration Management Center."
She couldn't help but turn around and look at the man behind her, her eyes widening slightly.
She was truly surprised that this was the place he had brought her to. She remembered that the household registration documents of Yuan Xi, which had been their bet, were still in his possession.
So what was he doing now...
Just as she had guessed, Yan Yincheng handed her a file bag and said, "Changing a name can't be just an empty promise. We have to make it official."
"Really giving this to me?" Xu Zixi double - checked.
Yan Yincheng said, "Really. It's yours. After you've changed your name, you can start registering the two kids' household registration when you get back."
"Thank you, Brother Cheng." Xu Zixi's nose tingled with emotion. Holding the documents, she stepped inside.
At the service window, the staff member asked, "Let me confirm again. Are you sure you want to change the name Yuan Xi to Xu Zixi?"
Changing her name to "Xu Zixi" meant that "Yuan Xi" would only be a cold "former name" on the household registration documents in the future.
So Xu Zixi hesitated again. Was she being a bit selfish by doing this?
But then a hand landed on her shoulder. Yan Yincheng gave it an encouraging squeeze.
Xu Zixi steadied herself, took a deep breath, and said to the staff member, "I'm sure."
At this moment, she decided that the name of the chief designer of "City of Hope" would still be "Yuan Xi." She had originally started with this name, and this was the gift she gave to Yuan Xi. In the future, she would be remembered by the world in another way.
It was the "City of Hope" full of hope.
However, a new problem arose. She had changed her name to Xu Zixi, but what about the two kids? Should they still use their current names? If the kids grew up and asked her why their surnames were different from their parents', how should she answer?
She couldn't make the decision on her own, so she asked Yan Yincheng.
Yan Yincheng said, "Let the kids choose. Whether they want to keep their old names or use new ones, it's up to them. Because the future should belong to them."
Xu Zixi let out a sigh of relief and smiled, "You're right, Brother Cheng."
With Yan Yincheng around, the name - changing procedure was quickly completed. Soon, the brand - new household registration documents and ID card were in Xu Zixi's hands.
She opened them and saw the clear name "Xu Zixi" as the head of the household. From then on, she finally had a real home in this world.
She closed the documents with a beaming smile.
It was still early when they left the household registration management center. Yan Yincheng then proposed to take Xu Zixi to visit the headquarters of the Yan Group.
With the name - changing issue resolved and the household registration documents in hand, Xu Zixi was in an extremely good mood. Not only was she willing to visit the headquarters of the Yan Group, but she would even agree to visit his house, well, just thinking about it.
The headquarters of the Yan Group was located in the most prosperous downtown area of Fengcheng. When the specially - modified Lincoln stopped at the main entrance of the Yan Group headquarters, it immediately caught many people's attention.
Especially when the car door opened and Xu Zixi and Yan Yincheng got out together, the whole building seemed to boil like a pot of water!
The employees all dropped their work and gathered by the windows, craning their necks to look out.
Today, Yan Yincheng was wearing a black turtleneck sweater inside and a gray checked overcoat outside. The sleeve of the overcoat covered the plaster on his right hand. His broad shoulders filled out the overcoat perfectly. He wore a black wide - brimmed hat on his head, and his long legs were wrapped in black tight - fitting pants. His cold but extremely handsome face was covered by a pair of black sunglasses. Although his outfit was very simple, on him, he looked like a top male model fresh off the fashion week runway.
Beside him, Xu Zixi was also wearing the same checked coat. However, unlike Yan Yincheng who left his coat unbuttoned, she had a belt carved in the shape of a white camellia around her waist, with two leaves made of broken diamonds hanging below, shining brightly as she walked. Her soft, shiny black hair was scattered behind her. With her innocent looks and innocent dressing style, yet there was a hint of extreme charm in her twinkling eyes, making people's hearts race.
In the past, when the employees of the Yan Group saw Yan Yincheng, he always held a cold white - cane that was like a scepter. But now, after getting out of the car, he only reached out his left hand to Xu Zixi.
Xu Zixi took his hand, and the two walked into the Yan Group in a high - profile and natural way.
Mr. Yan the Third is bringing his fiancée, Xu Zixi, to visit the Yan Group!
- This news replaced "Yuan Ya'er, Yan Zhen's wife, is actually a murderer" and became the biggest news in the Yan Group today!
"This is the marketing department. I'm in charge of it because I need to adjust the formula components according to the market feedback at any time... This is the R & D department. My formulas usually come from here... This is the office of the technology company under the Yan Group. I'm their technical consultant. After each machine model is made, it will be sent to me for preliminary testing..."
Every time Yan Yincheng reached a floor, he would introduce the department setup of the Yan Group and his own responsibilities to Xu Zixi in detail.
And every time he met a senior executive of the Yan Group, he would solemnly introduce her - "This is my fiancée, Xu Zixi."
There was always a faint smile on his lips, and his tone of voice carried a touch of tenderness and affection that he himself didn't even notice. It was completely different from the strict, cold - tempered Mr. Yan the Third that the employees of the Yan Group remembered! All the employees of the Yan Group were fed a big bowl of dog food!
However, the so - called visit was really just a casual stroll.
When they were about to leave the headquarters of the Yan Group, in the first - floor lobby, Yan Yincheng stopped, tilted his head slightly, and asked Xu Zixi, "After seeing the Yan Group today, how does it compare to your Xu Group?"
Xu Zixi replied with a smile, "In terms of enterprise scale, the Yan Group and the Xu Group are on par. As for other aspects, since they are from different time - spaces, they are not comparable. However, I admit that the Yan Group is truly the top in the industry in this time - space."
Yan Yincheng frowned slightly, looking a bit troubled, and said, "Is that so? Then you have to work hard."
