Zhao Huanhuan glanced at him, sighed inwardly, and said, "You're not a big boss who makes a lot of money. Your money is just your salary. How can I spend your money so extravagantly? Marriage is just a one-day affair."

"When we got married, you wore your military uniform. I still have the red shirt my mother made for me, and the red hair clip you gave me. They're very festive, so I won't buy any new clothes for now. As for the money you have, keep it for now. You might need it while you're in the army!"

Lin Yuan had only intended to tease Zhao Huanhuan, but he was stunned when Zhao Huanhuan answered his question so seriously.

Seeing his expression, Zhao Huanhuan coughed lightly, "What's wrong? Did I say something that hurt your pride? I'm sorry."

Lin Yuan snapped out of her daze, smiled helplessly, and reached out to pat her head. "No, I don't need to have any self-respect in front of you. I didn't expect Huanhuan to be thinking about our little family's future life so early. I'm very touched. Thank you."

Zhao Huanhuan lowered her eyes and remained silent for a while before saying, "I think you know how our marriage came about. I can also feel that you care about me and want to give me everything you can. However, I can't accept any more of what you give me without feeling at ease. I'm already very happy that you respect my parents so much."

“From now on, I will also learn to do what a good daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law should do, to be filial to your parents, and to cultivate a relationship between you as husband and wife. If you do more for me now, I will feel even more guilty.”

After hearing what she said, Lin Yuan sighed inwardly, turned her head and stared at her blankly, gradually calming down.

Yes, Huanhuan is right. After all, they've only known each other for a few days. The reason I'm so willing to give so much to her is because I have feelings for her and I like her. So, I want to give her everything I have.

But she was different. In her heart, this marriage was actually a process of protecting her in the village. Only by becoming his wife would no one dare to have any improper thoughts about her, given her outstanding appearance.

Maybe she doesn't dislike me, but she definitely doesn't like me to the point of loving me as much as I do.

After calming down, Lin Yuan sat down and slowly thought about what happened between the two of them.

Zhao Huanhuan went to the bathroom, washed the clothes her parents had changed out of the day before, and then hung them out in the yard to dry.

After that, he quietly swept the yard outside.

She saw Lin Yuan deep in thought, and she roughly guessed what he was thinking. She felt he should think it over carefully, and not be foolish enough to give her his all. She worried that he would be devastated if he suddenly realized that he wasn't as good as he thought.

What's most worrying about people who are obsessed with love is the frustration and heartbreak they experience when their efforts and rewards are disproportionate.

Lin Yuan is such a kind and upright man, and she doesn't want him to face such a thing one day.

Although she could try to fall in love with him and make his efforts and affections worthwhile, who knows what each of them ultimately wants from the other when it comes to matters between men and women and matters of the heart?

She transmigrated into the book. She agreed to marry Lin Yuan partly because of the Hao Qiang family incident, and partly because she wanted to change the Lin family's fate of being destroyed in the original book.

Now that I've transmigrated into the book, I can't just do nothing.

Seeing Lin Yuan falling deeper and deeper in love with him, he knows that this man is really innocent and love-struck. He never thought about what he would do if Zhao Huanhuan, whom he fell in love with at first sight, had someone else in her heart. Could he ever get his lost heart back?

Or, in the original book, he fell in love with Lin Man, but couldn't accept that she didn't love him and was with someone else, which led to a tragic end and a fight to the death.

However, these were all Zhao Huanhuan's guesses. But one thing she was certain of was that Lin Yuan was a very pure and kind-hearted man. Whoever he liked, he would treat them with all his heart.

Zhao Huanhuan, who did not fall in love with him, felt guilty, fearing that she could not bear Lin Yuan's simple and pure love.

Zhao Huanhuan knew her own heart. She might admire Lin Yuan's physique, his upright military bearing, and even be willing to have physical intimacy with him, but that wasn't enough for her to believe that she had fallen in love with this man.

She knew very well that after their marriage, he would leave to return to his unit, and she wouldn't see him for a year. Would Lin Yuan still have feelings for her after a year? Would he meet other girls who would capture his heart during that year in the army? Perhaps, through comparison, he would know who he loved more?

After all, she knew the original plot. Although she came and changed some of the plot, Zhao Huanhuan felt that some of the plot settings remained unchanged. For example, Lin Yuan would save a girl on his way home, and he would marry that girl.

Even on his wedding day, he would receive an urgent telegram from the military urging him to return, saying that there was an urgent mission that required him.

Therefore, Lin Yuan and his wife didn't even get to spend their wedding night together before he rushed back to his unit.

When I returned, everything had changed.

What Zhao Huanhuan fears most is that this kind of thing will happen when they get married. She fears that the heavenly laws of this world in the book will maintain the major setting and will not allow Lin Yuan and her to consummate their marriage, and that their relationship will eventually end in divorce.

Zhao Huanhuan was doing her work in the courtyard, silently thinking about these things as she went.

Lin Yuan, inside the house, stood quietly by the window, staring blankly at Huanhuan outside.

He could sense that Huanhuan didn't dislike him, and he could also sense that she genuinely enjoyed his kiss and hug just now, but he could also sense that she suddenly became a little colder towards him.
