Chapter 141 Proposal

There is no point in regretting, after all, there is no medicine for regret in this world.

After hearing what happened to Wang Tao, Wang Tao's mother picked up a rolling pin and beat him, telling him not to bother Ye Qian.

Wang Tao was afraid that his mother would agree without hesitation, but no one knew whether she listened to him or not.

But he did behave himself in the next few days and didn't bother Ye Qian anymore.

After returning home, the two finished dinner and sat on the sofa. Gu Jinyan said to Ye Qian, "Can you get some fine grains here?"

Ye Qian replied: "Sure, are you giving it to someone?"

Gu Jinyan smiled and said, "How come you are so smart?"

Ye Qian sat up straight with a smug look on her face: "That's right, how much do you want."

Gu Jinyan looked at Ye Qian's doting expression and said, "Why don't you ask me what I want to do?"

Ye Qian smiled and said, "If you could tell me, you would have told me directly. If you don't tell me, I can't know. I won't ask."

"Let's not tell you for now. I'll tell you when it's confirmed. Do you have 100 kilograms of rice and 100 kilograms of flour?" Gu Jinyan said.

"Yes, I'll go upstairs to get it for you." After saying that, Ye Qian got up and went upstairs.

Gu Jinyan immediately grabbed Ye Qian's hand, and worried that Ye Qian would get tired, so he said, "Just tell me where it is, and I'll go move it directly."

Where are you going to move it? It’s in the space and I haven’t taken it out. Ye Qian can’t tell you.

Ye Qian could only smile and say, "I won't move it down. I'll go find it first and then call you to come and move it."

Gu Jinyan nodded, and Ye Qian went upstairs. Ye Qian went directly to her cloakroom, used the cover of the cabinet to take out 100 kilograms of rice and 100 kilograms of flour, moved them to the stairs, and then called Gu Jinyan to move them down.

A month later, Gu Jinyan received a promotion letter from above and was directly promoted to director. Another person was then transferred to be deputy director.

Naturally, a promotion wouldn't be so smooth. Gu Jinyan had been busy during this period. He never told Ye Qian about the work that worried him, but Ye Qian could roughly guess that it was related to the promotion.

Not only did Gu Jinyan get promoted, but his relationship with Ye Qian also became better. Unlike the deputy director who had to go on business trips every few days, the director had much more time to spend with Ye Qian.

Ye Qian was thinking about making a big meal for Gu Jinyan. Nothing was more suitable than hot pot. She took out the hot pot base from the space and heated it up in the pot. It was not winter now, so she naturally could not light the stove to cook, otherwise people would be overheated to death. Ye Qian directly boiled the hot pot, put the food in it, and served it out after it was cooked.

Ye Qian had just finished cooking when Gu Jinyan came back. Seeing that Ye Qian was sweating profusely, he asked her to wash her face first.

Hot pot in summer has a unique flavor. It would be even better if we opened a bottle of cold beer, but unfortunately we only had boiled water.

Ye Qian picked up her boiled water and said to Gu Jinyan, "Congratulations, Director Gu."

Gu Jinyan smiled and picked up the cup, saying to Ye Qian, "Congratulations, Director's wife."

Ye Qian was stunned and a little shy: "What are you talking about?"

Seeing Ye Qian's shy face, Gu Jinyan couldn't help but continue to ask: "What's wrong, you don't want to be the director's wife."

Ye Qian immediately regained her composure: "No, I miss you very much."

Gu Jinyan asked seriously, "When will you marry me?"

Ye Qian thought for a moment and said, "I don't think I'm old enough yet."

Gu Jinyan replied: "Soon, you'll be 18 soon."

Ye Qian was stunned when she heard Gu Jinyan's words and asked, "Isn't it true that you can only get married when you are 20?"

Gu Jinyan was a little surprised to hear Ye Qian ask this: "Who told you that 18 years old is enough."

Ye Qian came to her senses then. Yes, in later generations, women had to be 20 years old to get married, but now it was the 1960s and it was enough to be 18.

Ye Qian thought she would have to wait another two years before getting married, but she didn't expect happiness to come so suddenly.

Seeing that Ye Qian seemed to be thinking, Gu Jinyan continued to ask: "If you agree to marry me, then we have to prepare."

After hearing what Gu Jinyan said, Ye Qian said seriously, "You haven't even proposed to me yet, and you want me to marry you? It's not that easy."

Hearing Ye Qian's words, Gu Jinyan immediately walked up to Ye Qian, took out the bankbook, property certificate and several documents that had been prepared in her bag, and said to Ye Qian: "This is all my wealth. I use this to propose to you. I hope Comrade Ye Qian will marry me."

Ye Qian's heart was already in turmoil, but she still tried to remain calm on the surface. However, she couldn't hide the excitement in her eyes. Gu Jinyan never thought that Ye Qian would reject him, and Ye Qian would not reject Gu Jinyan. The two of them had been together for so long that they naturally knew each other's feelings.

Although Ye Qian was excited, she was still very curious about Gu Jinyan's things. She then went upstairs and took out her important items from the space, including her cash passbook and property certificate. Usually, Ye Qian would pack them up and put them directly in the space. After coming down, she handed the bag she had prepared to Gu Jinyan and took the documents Gu Jinyan gave her, saying to him, "That's for you to see. It's all my wealth."

Gu Jinyan didn't expect Ye Qian to show him her things. He was also a little curious, so after exchanging them, he started to look at them.

Gu Jinyan was a little shocked. There were more than 20,000 yuan on the thick receipt, with only income and no expenditure. There was also more than 6,000 yuan in cash in the bag. She was very curious about how an 18-year-old girl could have so much property. Of course, she could not ignore the property certificate of Ye Qian's house. This house was bought with her own money.

Ye Qian's source of money is very simple. Her passbook is full of royalties, and the cash is all earned from speculation. However, Ye Qian would not record clearly what she sold one by one. Anyway, she made money.

After reading Gu Jinyan's documents, Ye Qian was also shocked. Oh my god, she had hooked up with a rich husband. He was not just rich.

There are 6 properties in Han City alone, 2 properties in Jing City, and an old house that Gu Jinyan sold directly. There is still more than 80,000 yuan in savings in the passbook. These are not ordinary wealth in this era. With so many properties, he would be a rich man even in later generations.

Gu Jinyan explained to Ye Qian that his parents gave him his mother's dowry, which included two properties in Han City and two properties in Jing City. The rest were all purchased by himself. Part of the money in the passbook was his own, and part was left by his mother.

Ye Qian understood that Gu Jinyan's mother was from a wealthy family.

After the two of them finished looking at the things in their hands, Ye Qian returned the documents to Gu Jinyan and took back her bag. Gu Jinyan asked in confusion, "Give it back to me, this is for my marriage to you."

Ye Qian replied, "We haven't gotten married yet, so keep it and give it to me after we get married. I remember there's something there, so you can't give it to anyone else."

Gu Jinyan smiled and said, "You don't have to be like this. This is for you."
