Chapter 135: Proposal

Su Boren handed Wei Rushuang a cup of brewed tea, and then he spoke, "Dad has naturally taken this into consideration. After you get married, the market in Huacheng will be handed over to you. This is also a test for you from dad. When you stabilize the situation over there, everything here will be handed over to you as well."

"Dad, you mean that I have to go back to Jiangcheng in the end. Do I have to travel back and forth between the two places every day?"

Wei Rushuang thought her daughter was stupid. "Of course not. Xiaojin has agreed. If you need to go back to Jiangcheng later, you can go back. He won't stop you. He will come to see you when he is free. It is convenient to take a plane anyway. You two can stay for a while if you want. We have a lot of properties."

"Yes, my dear, it is common for young people to go on business trips. You two will definitely be busy with your careers and will have to travel a lot. You will have to take care of each other more after you get married."

"When you get to Huacheng, Xiaojin will be there to give you guidance and help you. It will be a great opportunity to improve your relationship."

"Yes, in the future, you can't be willful after you get married. Xiaojin has such a good temper, you can't bully her."

"And your Aunt Su is also very nice. When you have nothing to do in the future, you should visit your husband's family more often."

…

In the end, Su Mi listened to her parents' long speeches about how to maintain a marriage, how to get along with the in-laws, and how to live in harmony with her husband.

So much so that when she returned to the bedroom, her head was aching.

She knew that getting married was a troublesome thing, and her marriage with Xiao Xuanjin... would probably only be more troublesome.

In the next few days, Su Mi returned to work.

And Xiao Xuanjin never showed up again.

Just a week later, the prenuptial agreement he had drafted was delivered to her office.

It was his lawyer who came, not him himself.

"The president said Miss Su needs something else, just add it directly."

Su Mi opened the document and read the regulations.

Apart from the three-year term, Xiao Xuanjin didn't add anything else.

Why didn't he include the property in the prenuptial agreement? There is such a huge conglomerate behind him.

After all, they were going to get a divorce, and she didn't want to share his property, nor did she want to take anything from him after just repaying him.

In her opinion, it is best to write these down clearly before marriage so that there will be no need for complications when they separate.

Su Mi frowned, "Lawyer Chen, didn't he say anything about the property?"

"The president said that Miss Su can protect her own property, so just add some terms."

"What about him?"

"The president said he had no such requirements."

Su Mi clenched the document between his fingers, wondering what Xiao Xuanjin was doing.

No matter what he was thinking, she couldn't take advantage of him.

"Then please add one more clause for me. When we get divorced after three years of marriage, I will give up my claim to all his pre-marital property and his personal property acquired during the marriage. I will only take the portion that belongs to me before and after marriage."

"Ms. Su, are you sure you want to do this?"

"Well, please ask my lawyer to verify the relevant property details, and ask Xiao Xuanjin to produce a list of pre-marital property. That's my request."

"Okay, Miss Su, I'll do it right away."

After saying this, the lawyer went out.

Su Mi stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window. The sunlight in Jiangcheng was always generous, reflecting a dazzling light off the ground.

She closed her eyes slightly, and in a trance, she thought of the autumn and winter in Hwaseong again. She didn't expect that in the end, she would have to return to that place.

The little ape hasn't appeared for a long time. I wonder how it would react if it knew that I was going to marry Xiao Xuanjin.

Forget it, I guess it won’t know.

A few days later, the prenuptial agreement was finally drawn up.

When it was sent to Su Mi again, Xiao Xuanjin signed his name on it.

The vigorous and unrestrained brushstrokes are very much like him.

Su Mi glanced at the few clauses added at the end, which clearly divided their property. The black and white words were more like a ruler with scales, accurately measuring the clear and visible boundary between them.

After confirming that it was correct, she signed.

As time went by, the wedding date was set.

Finally, both parties unanimously decided to choose New Year's Day.

But Xiao Xuanjin never showed up, and Su Mi didn't see him either.

She actually had no idea about marriage. She was busy at work most of the time and occasionally went on business trips, so she had no time to think about anything else.

But she knew things were going well when she saw the smiles on her parents' faces every day.

The marriage of the two families was widely rumored in the circle, and many media were paying attention to it.

That day, as soon as Su Mi returned home, he heard Wei Rushuang talking on the phone with Mrs. Xiao, and they seemed to be talking about the wedding invitation.

Su Mi didn't stop and went straight upstairs to his room.

When she just came out of the bathroom, she was wearing a bathrobe and drying her hair.

She saw Wei Rushuang standing in her room, looking at her with a smile.

Su Mi saw a gleam of joy in his mother's eyes, as if something happy had happened to her that made her particularly excited.

"Mom, why are you looking at me like that?"

Su Mi walked to the dressing table and sat down, rubbing the water droplets on the ends of her hair with a towel.

"Baby, your aunt Xiao called just now."

Su Mi naturally knew it; she heard it as soon as she got home.

"Well, what's wrong?"

"Baby, look at this."

As she spoke, Wei Rushuang turned the phone screen towards her and showed it to her.

Su Mi looked over and saw a picture on the screen, a bird's-eye view. There was gold-red paper on the table with a few words written on it in black ink. It had a unique artistic beauty.

Just that word...

"What is this?"

"Your aunt Xiao asked someone to match your horoscopes with Xiao Jin's and make a wedding invitation. Guess what the fortune teller said?"

"What do you mean?"

Wei Rushuang emphatically said eight words, "A perfect couple, a match made in heaven."

Su Mi finally understood why Mommy had that expression.

This fortune teller must be trying to say nice things about her. She and Xiao Xuanjin are not a match made in heaven.

If Xiao Xuanjin hadn't wanted to take revenge on her, this marriage would never have happened.

But she didn't want to dampen her mother's expectations and excitement. "Really? That's great."

"Yes, in that case, you and Xiaojin are a perfect match. I, your mother, have a good eye for sons-in-law."

Su Mi thought that if it weren't for what happened that year, Xiao Xuanjin would have been a very good marriage candidate.

Unfortunately, everything has changed now.

Su Mi shook her head quietly. Fortunately, she and Xiao Xuanjin had told each other about the prenuptial agreement and they must not reveal anything to anyone. Otherwise, it would be disastrous if their parents found out.

"Baby, your in-laws will come to propose marriage in a while, so you have to prepare first."

"Oh." Su Mi answered absentmindedly.

After saying a few more words, Wei Rushuang went out.

Su Mi put down the towel and took out the hair dryer to blow her hair.

Press the switch, a buzzing sound is heard, and Su Mi aims the air outlet at the hair.

However, my mind automatically blocked out the sound of the hair dryer. A myriad of thoughts ran through my mind. If I propose...he should come.
