Lu Jia was silent for a long time on the other end of the phone before she finally said to me, "I'll send you my ID card right now... You transfer the house to my name... It's a transfer, not just adding my name..."

I was stunned for a long time before replying, "This is no small matter. Give me a reason, okay?"

"I'm afraid of losing you..."

"So you're using the house to tie me down?"

“Not entirely… I’m more worried about your current state. This year, you’ve already squandered almost all the money you’ve earned… I feel that I have to marry you, so I’ll hold onto these properties for you… This is our security for the future. I’m afraid that one wrong decision from you will wipe out all the assets we’ve accumulated… Michael, I’m almost thirty years old. After we get married, we need to have children immediately… But I’m really scared about your current state!”

After a brief pause, Lu Jia continued, "If you've never even considered marrying me, then just pretend I never said these words!"

...

Yes, Lu Jia is almost 30 years old. She delayed her own life for another year because she was taking care of Lao Mi... If I don't marry her, what will become of her in the future? I not only think this way right now, but I have also been troubled by this question for the past year, and it is especially evident now.

To put Lu Jia at ease, I finally spoke to her and said, "Send your ID card over, and I'll transfer the ownership of this house to your name."

"You won't regret it, will you?"

"No regrets..."

Lu Jia responded and then hung up the phone...

I suddenly felt incredibly sad. I asked myself: If Lu Jia knew that I had made food delivery my job, how would she feel? ... She would definitely be even more disappointed in me, and she certainly wouldn't have the patience to understand my intentions, much less wait for me to make a comeback.

She was anxious because of her age. She was already so anxious when she was in Shanghai, let alone now that she was almost 30.

However, I, Michael, never do anything without being sure of success. If we end up as husband and wife, I really hope she can be more understanding of me instead of forcing me.

...

As I put my phone back in my pocket, I suddenly saw Yang Sisi leaning against the wall waiting for me. In that instant, I suddenly wanted to hug her... but I couldn't do it, even though I knew she was a woman who was willing to accompany me on my food delivery.

Whether she did it for fun or to help me out... in any case, she genuinely had that thought in mind! Want to chat with more like-minded people about "My Tenant Miss"? Follow "Youdu Literature" on WeChat to read the novel, discuss life, and find kindred spirits!
