Chapter 111 Reflection

Professor Xie has a very strong sense of initiative.

When Su Wan got home from get off work, the design drawings were all ready.

"I consulted a friend in the architecture school. Take a look and see if there's anything that needs to be changed."

They have a total of four floors.

It's not difficult to connect them; it just requires some modifications to the entrance elevator and underground parking garage, along with the addition of a staircase for connection.

"..." Su Wanwan didn't really understand the blueprints either. She asked, "Do we need to get approval to open up this space?"

"I've asked, and it's not necessary. This is between the two of us."

"What if we split it up later—"

Before she could finish speaking, Xie Yanning asked her with a half-smile, "Hmm? What are you dividing?"

Su Wanwan was just saying it casually, and quickly stopped herself, "I meant that if we end up working in different places that are far from here and have to move, it will be difficult to sell this place if it's all connected."

Luckily, we managed to come back to normal.

"Then keep it. Why sell it?"

Boss Xie is indeed very wealthy.

Su Wanwan had no objections. "Then let's make the connection. You can calculate the costs later, and I'll pay half."

Xie Yanning is now covering all the expenses, and Su Wanwan feels a little guilty about it.

Xie Yanning looked at her and asked, "Why are you trying to settle the bill with me?"

"Isn't it wrong to always make you spend money?" Su Wanwan answered hesitantly.

"Why not? I'm your boyfriend, and I'll be your husband in the future. Isn't it my duty to spend money on my wife?"

"..." Why is she still unhappy even though she paid?

Xie Yanning pulled her closer, resting her chin on her shoulder, her voice tinged with a strange grievance: "You don't want to use my money, you don't want to owe me, so you can run away without any guilt?"

"..."

What is all this nonsense?

They're not married, so isn't it normal for them to keep their finances separate? What does it have to do with whether she feels indebted to him?

“No…” Su Wanwan turned her head and met Xie Yanning’s gaze.

How should I put it? It's like she's committing a heinous crime just because she doesn't use his money.

Su Wanwan gave in, "Use it, use it, you take it out, you take it out..."

Xie Yanning's expression changed instantly, and she smiled and said, "Then give me your phone, and I'll link it to my SIM card from now on."

He replaced Su Wanwan's WeChat and Alipay accounts with his own cards, and even transferred 10 million yuan to Su Wanwan's card, saying, "This is your monthly allowance."

"..."

She felt she had been tricked.

No, judging from Xie Yanning's beaming face, she's been tricked.

He's such a good actor, why doesn't he become one?

I've never seen anyone so eager to give away money.

"Do you think I can afford it all?" She was usually busy with work and rarely bought clothes or bags. Now, Xie Yanning was in charge of almost all the food and drinks. She couldn't think of any other place she would need to spend money.

"Can't I give you what you can't use?" Xie Yanning asked.

His question was so confident that Su Wanwan was momentarily speechless.

This was the first time she had received money from someone outside her family, and she felt a little uneasy about it.

Xie Yanning didn't leave any notes when transferring the money, so there's no chance of winning a lawsuit to get the money back later.

"You'll be at a huge disadvantage doing this."

"Wanwan," Xie Yanning suddenly called her in a very serious tone.

"how?"

"We're definitely going to get married in the future, so no one owes anyone anything. It'll all be marital property sooner or later. Or do you think we'll separate sooner or later?"

This question was so serious that Su Wanwan was momentarily stunned.

"No..." she instinctively retorted.

Xie Yanning gave a wry smile. "You're not enthusiastic about being with me, and you're indifferent to the idea of ​​opening up the house. Your first thought is whether the house will sell well, not our future life here."

"..."

No, has it gotten that serious?

"It's as if I'm not part of your future plans."

Su Wanwan was speechless.

Perhaps because Su Wanwan's appearance seemed to be an admission, Xie Yanning's dejection deepened, and he forced a smile: "I'm sorry, but I still won't let you go."

Su Wanwan spent the whole night thinking about whether she had done something heinous to make Xie Yanning, who was such a stable person, feel emotionally unstable.

The upstairs housekeeper had already tidied up, and Su Wanwan originally planned to sleep upstairs tonight.

But looking at Xie Yanning's slightly forlorn figure, she was conflicted.

She knocked gently on the door, and after a response came from inside, she pushed the door open and went in.

Inside, Xie Yanning was lying on the bed, holding a book beside her.

He calmly looked up at Su Wanwan and asked, "Did you forget something?" as if nothing had happened.

"Hmm..." Su Wanwan closed the door and thought of an excuse: "I'm just suddenly feeling a little uncomfortable."

"Aren't you used to it?" He said the words very softly, and then he chuckled softly.

"..." No, what other meaning has this derived from?

I've never seen Xie Yanning act so melancholic before.

Su Wanwan walked to the bedside.

Normally, this person would have grabbed the other person and pulled them to bed, but this time it was unusually abnormal. He even stepped back to make room for them.

The first time the two slept together, there was a dividing line between them.

Does she really not show enough love in her daily life?

Su Wanwan reflected on her actions.

She turned to her side and whispered, "Xie Yanning, are you asleep?"

"No."

Su Wanwan thought for a moment. If the mountain wouldn't come to her, she would go to the mountain. She moved over, turned to the side, rested her face on his shoulder, and put her hand on his strong, thin waist.

What's wrong with you?

"No, I was just thinking about the house," Xie Yanning said softly after a long while. "Go to sleep, you have to get up early tomorrow."

"..." It's only a little past nine o'clock now, who wants to sleep?

Such an obvious excuse.

Besides, has Xie Yanning ever been this obedient? His hands are actually so well-behaved.

It's okay, he's honest, but she can be dishonest.

Su Wanwan's hand quietly moved downwards, but before it reached its destination, Xie Yanning grabbed it and said very seriously, "Wanwan, you don't need to do this."

No, what about her?

Su Wanwan was about to lose it.

"I don't want you to force yourself until you've thought it through."

"Where did I not think things through?" She didn't press the issue.

Will you marry me? Or have you thought about what life would be like with me in the future?

Xie Yanning placed her hands on either side and gently pressed down on her body.

In the darkness, a pair of eyes were fixed on her.

Su Wanwan had the unsettling feeling of being targeted by wolves.

"No, although I haven't thought about marriage, if I'm not with you, who am I with?" If she didn't like him, would she be hugging him like this? She's not really that desperate.

"Even if I'm not a perfect person?" Xie Yanning whispered in her ear, "I'm not as good as you think. I also have dark thoughts. I want you to belong to me alone. I want you to only see me. I'll get jealous if other men get close to you. I'm even more afraid that one day you'll leave my side again."
