Xiao Che himself was also extremely nervous, his heart pounding like thunder, afraid of offending the other party.
But he couldn't resist and kissed her. He didn't regret it. She was the only one for him in his life, and their marriage was just a matter of time.
Taking a deep breath to compose himself, he made up his mind and, with a hint of cautious anticipation, said, "Ya Jing, after everything is over, let's get married, okay?"
Bai Yajing was a little speechless that the other party had proposed to her first. But, well, it didn't feel so bad. Oh well, it doesn't matter who speaks first, as long as the final result is the same!
So she happily replied with a single word, "Okay!"
After asking the question, Xiao Che's mind started wandering. What do you need to prepare for a wedding?
Friends from long-standing families used to give generous dowries when they got married. Even though he couldn't be so ostentatious now, he didn't want to wrong the other party, so he could give it secretly!
Moreover, the Xiao family has fallen on hard times and has nothing left. If he wants to give the other party enough, he needs to start saving now.
Suddenly, his ears twitched. Hmm? Did Ya Jing just agree? It seems so?
Realizing that Bai Yajing had actually agreed, a surge of joy welled up in his chest, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to describe his current mood as ecstatic!
His handsome face was filled with surprise, and his eyes were full of sincerity as he looked at Bai Yajing.
"You agreed? Really? That's great! Wait for me! Although the Xiao family has fallen on hard times, believe me, I will give you a good life and I won't let you suffer with me!"
"Once I complete this mission, the higher-ups will reopen the case, and the Xiao family will be able to overturn the verdict and completely clear their name!"
At that time, family background will not be an issue. With his abilities, he can quickly rebuild the Xiao family!
Bai Yajing coughed lightly upon hearing his solemn assurance, feeling inexplicably guilty. She hadn't yet told Xiao Che that, apart from the valuables he had delivered overnight, most of the Xiao family's wealth, besides their fixed assets, was currently stored in her jade pendant...
Unless Grandpa Xiao is as cunning as her grandfather and has hidden them in several places, they really are all in her hands.
Moreover, the thought of actually getting married and living together in the future, and one day she inadvertently taking out something from the Xiao family...
Hmm, that's quite a vivid image. I inexplicably feel it would be very exciting and hilarious...
She scratched her face, her eyes somewhat unfocused. "What's this talk of hardship? I don't care about any of that. I won't let myself suffer. Besides, you know my family's situation."
My grandparents and maternal grandparents left me enough for several generations to use..."
Yes, that's enough for more than ten lifetimes! What her grandfather gave her was the wealth accumulated by the Bai family over generations.
Those things that the other families couldn't take with them were left to her, which benefited her. Grandpa's only hope was that she would give birth to someone who could carry on the family line.
Xiao Che knew the Bai family's background, but what the Bai family gave was theirs, and as their husband, he had to give them what they were entitled to.
However, he knew it in his heart; there was no need to say it aloud. Showing her what he had done would be more effective than saying any nice words.
He took out a wad of cash from his pocket and handed it to her.
"Yin Zhi's situation is special. His current monthly salary is 100. After deducting the things he needs to furnish his home, the rest is all here."
"Keep this safe. I can't receive my personal salary and allowances right now, but I'll give them to you once I do."
Although they are not married yet, their current situation is almost the same as that of a married couple. It is only natural for a man to let his wife manage the money after marriage.
He took out the money and tickets, feeling no reluctance, only a sweet joy.
Bai Yajing looked at the money and him, her eyes filled with starlight. Who could understand? This feeling was just like an old married couple living their lives together!
She didn't disappoint him; she sorted out the money and put it away—it was several hundred yuan.
However, thinking that the man needed to keep some money, she took out two ten-yuan bills and stuffed them into his hand.
