It will take a few days before the ID card arrived but Gu Xi’s information had already been added to Gu Shao’s household register.

Seeing how Gu Xi kept on glancing over at the household register in his hand like a child looking at toys, Gu Shao found that amusing and handed it over to Gu Xi.

Gu Xi smiled to herself when she received the household register.

First, she flipped to the newest page – the page about her – and looked at it over and over again.
Then, when Gu Shao wasn’t paying attention, she flipped to the page with his information.

“March 17?” Gu Xi quietly committed the date to her memory.

Then, to her surprised, Gu Xi noticed that Gu Shao had been in the military in the past.

Here she thought that he had always been in the academic research field.

Gu Xi grumbled to herself.

Aunty Mei was already waiting by the door when they arrived home.

“Ah, you two are back.
Did everything go smoothly?”

“Mmhmm, went very well,” said Gu Nian as she nodded.

Seeing the smile on Gu Xi, Aunty Mei smiled as well.
“Well, that’s good to hear.
Go change quickly, Xiao Xi.
Get some rest, dinner will be ready soon.”

“Okay.”

“Oh yeah, Grandma Mei, don’t call me ‘Xiao Xi’ anymore from now on.
I am ‘Xiao Xi’ now,” said Gu Xi with a bright smile.

Aunty Mei was baffled by what Gu Xi had said: What was the difference between “Xiao Xi” and “Xiao Xi”?

“We changed her name to ‘Xi’.
‘Xi’ as in cherish,” explained Gu Shao for Gu Xi.

Over on the other side, Gu Xi had already bounced back into her own room, still holding onto Gu Shao’s household register that she had forgotten to return to him.

Looking at Gu Xi’s back, even Gu Shao’s look had mellowed out.

Inside the bedroom, Gu Xi looked at her own name on the household register and felt another pang of foolish joy.

Then, she clicked open her social software and bragged with her very first post: [Hi everyone.
I am Gu Xi.]

She had 0 friends right now and nobody would see that anyway.

Well, that wasn’t entirely true.
She had added the [Battle at the Summit of Tianchuang] chat group and the group owner had added her as a friend.

Regardless, it was just a stranger anyway.
No biggie.

While Gu Xi was rejoicing inside her own room, Gu Shao, outside, received a call from Old Mr.
Gu.

Over the phone, Old Mr.
Gu started lecture Gu Shao right away, “Xixi is our Gu family’s precious granddaughter and her household register should fall under the old Gu family! I don’t care that you wanted to split from the family, but what is the meaning of placing Xixi’s household register under you instead of our family? Are you trying to drive me insane??”

By now, Old Mr.
Gu had already learned about Gu Xi’s new name from Aunty Mei.

Originally, know that Gu Shao was about to transfer Gu Xi’s household register over, Old Mr.
Gu was somewhat excited.
He already had the old Gu family’s household register, genealogy ready along with possible new names for Gu Xi.
He was just waiting for Gu Shao to bring his nice granddaughter over and asked for the household register.

Old Mr.
Gu even had the kitchen prepared more sweet and sour dishes.

In the end, after all the waiting, what Old Mr.
Gu found out was that the jerk Gu Shao had already transferred Gu Xi’s household register under himself.

He was so mad!

Old Mr.
Gu sneered into the phone.
“I don’t care about you but you must transfer Xiao Xi’s household register over under the old Gu family.”

– So you finally going to stop pretending that you knew nothing about this?

Gu Shao snickered.

“There’s nothing wrong having Xiao Xi’s household register under me,” said Gu Shao.

“Besides.” Pausing a little, Gu Shao’s eyes darkened a little.
“It’s better her household register not go under the Gu family than running into other random issues later on.”

Gu Shao’s words made Old Mr.
Gu’s look froze.
Everything that had happened in the past rushed into his mind.

Old Mr.
Gu sighed.
“What happened back then, and those about your big brother were truly……”

Half way through, Old Mr.
Gu stopped and sighed.

After the phone call, Old Mr.
Gu sat on the chair, looking unhappy.
