And so, the matter that had been weighing on my mind was finally settled.

After having dinner at the Shen family's house, Duan Ze returned to the Duan family's house, intending to discuss the matter of proposing marriage with his parents.

Upon hearing this, Duan Sheng couldn't help but slap his thigh and exclaimed, "Great! Niannian's parents both think she's a good girl. It would be even better if you liked her."

Ding Yifen nodded happily: "Yes, your brother has been married for more than half a year, you should also put your plans on the agenda."

Duan Ze smiled and said, "Mom and Dad, Niannian has suffered a lot because of me, so I'm thinking of choosing a good day to go back to our hometown and ask Grandpa and Grandma to go with you to the Shen family to propose marriage. What do you think?"

Duan Sheng: "Logically speaking, there shouldn't be any problem, but your grandfather has a special status, and leaving home is no small matter, so we need to ask your grandfather first."

Duan Ze: "I understand. I will ask Grandpa myself. If it's really difficult, we can consider other options."

Duan Sheng nodded: "Okay."

As he spoke, Duan Sheng stood up: "Wait a minute, Dad has something for you."

Soon, Duan Sheng went up to the second floor. Duan Ze looked at his mother with some confusion: "Mom, what is it? Why is Dad being so mysterious?"

Ding Yifen said with a smile, "You'll know when your dad takes it down."

So Duan Ze waited curiously.

He didn't have to wait long before Duan Sheng came down with a bunch of keys.

"This is the wedding house your parents bought for you. The renovation of your house and your brother's house is already completed. They are both in the same community, not far from home. The area is about 120 square meters, with three rooms. I've given you yours. As for your brother's house, Dad will give it to him when he's ready."

Duan Ze's eyes widened: "Full payment?"

Duan Sheng immediately became proud: "Full payment!"

Looking at the father and son, Ding Yifen couldn't help but smile slightly and said, "It's just that the location of this neighborhood isn't very good; it's on the edge of the city..."

Duan Ze: "Mom and Dad, you've already done so well. I'll just pay the bride price for the Shen family myself."

Duan Sheng: "How much money do you have? There will be many expenses after the wedding. Your parents still have some savings. As long as the bride price asked by the Shen family is not too outrageous, we should be able to afford it."

Duan Ze felt ashamed.

Anyway, he felt that his parents were already amazing. This was Kyoto, where land was incredibly valuable. Even houses on the outskirts of the city cost tens of thousands of yuan per square meter. When he reached his father's age, he might not be able to afford two houses.

Suddenly, Duan Ze's mind flashed back to Shen Niannian's words: three sons...

His face darkened again.

Yeah, I can't afford to raise them.

Maybe we should have two fewer children.

Duan Ze: "I will discuss the bride price with Niannian and decide on it later."

Duan Sheng and Ding Yifen both breathed a sigh of relief, exchanged a glance, and nodded with satisfaction.

Both sons are settled, that's good.

After discussing the marriage with his parents, Duan Ze didn't go back to his rented apartment but slept at home.

at the same time.

The Jiang family.

A minivan drove into the Jiang family's gate.

Ye Nuan was led by Bo Chao to Jiang Jingwen's study.

Jiang Jingchuan and Jiang Jingwen were both present. Bo Chao led the people in and then quietly withdrew.

Only the three of them remained in the study.

Ye Nuan looked at them suspiciously, and didn't say anything for a moment.

Jiang Jingwen's gaze swept over Ye Nuan, making her very uncomfortable, and she couldn't help but frown.

Jiang Jingwen then said, "Duan Ye has good taste."

Ye Nuan, Nan Xing, Luo Qingyuan.

None of the three women were ugly, although he thought Nanxing was much prettier than Ye Nuan.

Ye Nuan didn't look at Jiang Jingwen; she didn't know him. But she knew Jiang Jingchuan, so she looked at Jiang Jingchuan and asked, "Why did you call me here?"

Jiang Jingchuan rolled his eyes, somewhat impatiently: "My brother is talking to you now, why are you staring at me?"

"By the way, from now on, my brother will be your sugar daddy. You'll do whatever he tells you to do, understand?"

Ye Nuan looked terrible, but she knew that once she got on the Jiang family's pirate ship, it would be difficult to get off.

So Ye Nuan said, "I understand."

Jiang Jingwen remained unperturbed, his expression unchanged. He asked, "Do you want to take Duan Ye back?"

Ye Nuan hesitated for two seconds: "What's your idea?"

Jiang Jingwen: "The solution is very simple. Just get pregnant with Duan Ye's child, and everything will be solved."

Jiang Jingchuan smiled and said, "Yes, he will take responsibility."

"That's not right either. Duan Ye never plays by the rules. But if he's not going to take responsibility, you can go to his parents or his grandfather. They'll take responsibility."

Ye Nuan's heart skipped a beat, and she remained silent for a moment.

Jiang Jingchuan burst into laughter: "Hahaha, brother, you see, I told you she would agree."

Jiang Jingchuan held Ye Nuan in utter contempt, so much so that even though Ye Nuan was quite attractive, he had absolutely no urge to touch her.

Ye Nuan could see the mockery in Jiang Jingchuan's eyes, but she ignored it and simply looked at Jiang Jingwen, saying, "Duan Ye, you can't just drug him whenever you want."

"Moreover, no one can guarantee that it will be successful on the first try."

Jiang Jingwen's interest grew even stronger; this Ye Nuan... was very much to his liking.

Unfortunately, he liked women like Nanxing, women with strong willpower, and disliked spineless women without any moral compass.

Jiang Jingchuan: "Well, that's better than never, right?"

As he spoke, Jiang Jingchuan laughed at her, "I don't know what you've been doing for the past two years with Duan Ye. Two years and you still can't get pregnant. If you were pregnant, what would be left for Miss Luo?"

Ye Nuan keenly grasped the key words: "The Luo family... eldest daughter?"

Seeing Ye Nuan's puzzled look, Jiang Jingchuan said, "You don't know, do you? Duan Ye's current wife is the daughter of the richest man in Kyoto, Miss Luo! Every young master from a prominent family in Kyoto is vying for her, yet she was snatched away by some nobody..."

Ye Nuan's temples throbbed: "The richest man's...daughter?"

"Do you have assets exceeding 100 million?"

Even Jiang Jingwen laughed this time: "How can having assets of over 100 million yuan make you the richest person?"

"To put it another way, the boss behind the Kyoto-based Luo's International Bank is Duan Ye's wife, Luo Qingyuan."

"At the same time, Luo Qingyuan is also the president of Henglun Group, and everyone calls her President Luo."

"Ye Nuan, you didn't lose out by losing to Luo Qingyuan."

It's worth it...

Ye Nuan's face was deathly pale, and she was swaying precariously.

She thought Luo Qingyuan was just a woman with a little money, but she never expected... she was actually the daughter of the richest man in the world?

The women in the entertainment industry often say that the Luo family is the most prestigious family in Kyoto. Sometimes she would secretly envy them and wonder if she were born with a silver spoon in her mouth like the eldest daughter of the Luo family. Would her fate be different from Duan Ye's?
