Chapter 33 Changfeng, my husband, carry me to bed.
Jiang Mingxue stared at the large box, unsure of what expression to make.
She remembered that the last time at the air force base, Xing Kaiyu had also prepared a box for them, but there were only three.
This time, 18 animals were a bit beyond her comprehension.
I wonder who prepared this box.
But her intuition told her it wasn't Madam Rong. She knew her son's problems and knew he wouldn't do anything unnecessary.
Then it could only have been bought by Rong Chengzhou.
But why would he buy this?
I bought 18 at once.
What a waste.
She frowned slightly, feeling that something was off.
Before I could figure it out, the screen of my phone, which had been black for a long time, lit up again.
Madam Rong sent a message: 【Mingxue, are you done filming?】
Jiang Mingxue quickly snapped out of her daze, unfolded the first page of the marriage certificate, took a photo, scanned it, and sent it to her.
As she put away the marriage certificate, she couldn't help but glance at it a couple more times.
His expression was inexplicably complicated; he finally realized what was strange.
Rong Chengzhou, a man of such neat organization, actually kept condoms and marriage certificates together.
The bathroom door suddenly opened, and Jiang Mingxue quickly closed the drawer and lay back down on the bed.
After washing up again, Rong Chengzhou came out of the bathroom.
Jiang Mingxue leaned against the headboard to reply to Madam Rong's message, said goodnight, turned off her phone, and placed it on the table.
After thinking about it, I still told him, "Mom just asked me to take a picture of your marriage certificate. I looked through your drawer and then put it back where it was."
Rong Chengzhou responded casually, "Take whatever you want from me, no need to inform me."
Jiang Mingxue nodded and casually replied, "Okay."
Rong Chengzhou walked over and glanced at her face, noticing it was slightly flushed.
I knew she had just seen it.
His expression remained unchanged, showing no emotional fluctuation as always.
I never intended to avoid her.
You'll need it sooner or later, so it's always good to prepare in advance.
Knowing she was shy, he didn't bring it up openly.
Is your leg injury getting better?
Jiang Mingxue: "Hmm, much better."
Rong Chengzhou glanced at it; the ointment was still in the same spot he had placed it yesterday: "Has the ointment not been applied today?"
"..." Jiang Mingxue almost instinctively thought of what happened last night, her calm demeanor mixed with a hint of barely concealed panic. "No, no need to apply it, it's not that serious."
Rong Chengzhou saw through her thoughts at a glance and let out a soft chuckle: "This time I won't look, you can apply it yourself."
Jiang Mingxue looked up and saw that he had already turned his back. After thinking for a moment, she got up and sat on the sofa, picking up the ointment that she hadn't finished using yesterday.
One application of the medicine was definitely not enough. She wore long pants at the clinic during the day, which made it inconvenient to apply the medicine, so she only used it once.
She was wearing a nightgown today, and when she lifted it to apply the medicine, she didn't even lift her head.
I just inexplicably believe that Rong Chengzhou won't suddenly turn back, and I know that he will definitely do what he says.
The wound is already partially scabbed over; once it's completely scabbed over, you won't need to apply any more medication.
Five minutes later, Jiang Mingxue finished applying the ointment and put down her skirt: "I'm done, you can turn around now."
Rong Chengzhou slowly turned around, waited for her to get into bed first, and then lifted the covers to lie down and turn off the light.
Feeling that his hands were empty, he reached out to Jiang Mingxue and pulled her into his arms.
The two of them usually sleep a distance apart.
One reason was that Jiang Mingxue was not used to it, and another reason was that her body was too soft, and Rong Chengzhou was afraid that he would not be able to resist.
But after last night's near-miss, they both tacitly ignored this distance.
Jiang Mingxue didn't mind his hug; on the contrary, she found it quite comfortable to be held by him.
But she had just finished looking at the things in the drawer and hadn't yet recovered from the shock of seeing 18 of them.
So my body instinctively flinched.
Rong Chengzhou didn't let go, holding her tightly in his arms: "Don't worry, your leg isn't healed yet, I won't do anything reckless."
Jiang Mingxue realized that he couldn't do anything reckless even if he wanted to.
I relaxed and moved closer to him.
She usually sleeps alone with a toy pillow, but she almost forgot this habit after living with Rong Chengzhou.
Rong Chengzhou stretched out an arm for her to rest her head on. Jiang Mingxue rested her head against his chest and wrapped her arms around his waist, as if she were hugging a human-shaped pillow.
A minute later, Jiang Mingxue suddenly asked, "Rong Chengzhou, do you have any children at home?"
Rong Chengzhou: "No, if you want, I'll buy a few tomorrow."
He paused for a moment, then asked, "What do you need the doll for?"
Jiang Mingxue answered with her eyes closed, "Your body is too stiff; it's not as comfortable to hug as a doll."
Rong Chengzhou: "......"
When Rong Chengzhou woke up the next day, his arm was numb from being used as a pillow.
He gently lifted Jiang Mingxue's head, withdrew his arm, and got up to wash and exercise.
After having breakfast and dropping Jiang Mingxue off, Rong Chengzhou went to the mall to buy the toy doll she wanted.
He went to a relatively large toy store, which had all kinds of figurines, blind boxes, building block models, plush toys, and so on.
The sales assistant approached and asked, "Sir, what would you like?"
Rong Chengzhou looked around and asked, "Are there any dolls?"
"Of course," the sales assistant said enthusiastically, leading him inside. "We have all kinds of dolls and plush toys. What are your main needs?"
Rong Chengzhou: "It's comfortable to hold."
Salesperson: "That's a larger plush toy, perfect as a cushion."
Rong Chengzhou looked at the rows of plush toys that were nearly a meter tall in front of him, pondered for a few seconds, and finally took out a few more expensive figurines from the shelf next to him.
The sales assistant was pleased, but still offered a token of friendly advice: "Sir, figurines are usually displayed on tables. If you want something comfortable to hold, you'd better choose these larger ones."
"No need." Rong Chengzhou had already taken the figurine to the cashier to pay. "My bed is too small to fit it."
--
Three days later, Mrs. Rong had almost finished consulting with the lawyer and had drafted a list to send to them.
Taking advantage of a weekday, Jiang Mingxue swapped shifts with someone else and set aside half a day to go to the notary office with Rong Chengzhou to have their property notarized.
She felt it was unnecessary. Madam Rong had even given her a house worth 100 million, so she was definitely the one who benefited from the marriage.
However, Rong Chengzhou and Madam Rong insisted, which was also to show the Rong family's attitude and reassure the Jiang family, so Jiang Mingxue had no choice but to do as they said.
After signing the documents at the notary office and receiving the notarized certificate, Rong Chengzhou and I went directly back to Songyunting.
After taking a shower that evening, Rong Chengzhou took two square boxes from his study and handed one of them to her.
Jiang Mingxue sat on the sofa, opened the box, and inside was a diamond ring.
The diamond ring was heavy, with delicate vines intertwined to support a three-dimensional pink and blue diamond carved into a rose, surrounded by many small diamonds. The metal setting was carefully designed, and the three letters "JMX", the abbreviation of her name, were engraved inside.
The diamond ring shone brightly under the light, and Jiang Mingxue looked at its shape, feeling a strange sense of familiarity.
There was no brand name on the box. She frowned and thought for a moment, then suddenly remembered the drawings he had been working on recently. She looked up and asked, "Did you design this yourself?"
"Well, I wanted to give you something special, so I drew it myself and had it custom-made." Rong Chengzhou nodded slightly and looked at her sincerely, "I'm sorry it took me so long to get the wedding ring."
Jiang Mingxue felt as if her heart was being pricked by a tiny needle. She looked down at the unique diamond ring, unsure how to express her feelings.
Rong Chengzhou spoke up to remind him, "Try wearing it; I'm not sure if the size is right."
He measured based on experience, so there might be some inaccuracies.
Jiang Mingxue nodded: "Okay."
Just as he was about to slip the diamond ring onto his ring finger, he suddenly remembered something and stopped.
She handed the diamond ring to Rong Chengzhou, extending her left hand: "You put it on for me."
She smiled, her eyes shining brighter than diamonds as she looked at him, causing Rong Chengzhou's gaze to flicker.
"good."
He took the diamond ring, lifted her left hand, and slipped the wedding ring, which he had personally designed, onto her ring finger.
Her fingers were already slender and fair, and the sparkling diamond ring on her hand made them look even more lustrous and beautiful.
His eyes measured precisely; the size was perfect. Jiang Mingxue raised her hand, admired it for a moment under the light, then turned and asked, "What about yours?"
Rong Chengzhou took his out from another box, which was much simpler in comparison, with only a ring and a few fine lines drawn on it.
"Why is yours so simple?" Jiang Mingxue asked.
"Men's diamond rings should not be flashy."
Rong Chengzhou answered casually, without mentioning that it took him ten days to draw the diamond ring for Jiang Mingxue, but only ten minutes to draw the one for himself.
"All right."
Rong Chengzhou put the same thing on himself, then took a bankbook from the coffee table and handed it to her.
Jiang Mingxue took it: "What is this?"
Rong Chengzhou lowered his eyes slightly: "This is my savings over the years. Military salaries are not high, and this is all I have saved. I'm entrusting it to you for safekeeping. The password is your birthday."
Jiang Mingxue stared at the heavy savings book, blinked, and then pushed it back.
She shook her head and said, "This is money you earned at great risk to your life; I can't accept it."
Rong Chengzhou didn't answer, his deep gaze fixed on her, and he said earnestly, word by word:
“I don’t have much savings, only 13 million. I originally didn’t plan to get married, and I left all the savings to my parents. But now that I have a wife, they should belong to her.”
“I don’t have many expenses in the army, and my family paid for the wedding. This money is useless to me, but it might come in handy with you.”
Jiang Mingxue lowered her head, unsure of what to say.
A one-of-a-kind diamond ring, a custom-made wedding dress, a wedding in the works, a wedding house given to the family free of charge, a notarized property agreement, and all the wages earned during the thirteen years of military service...
She originally just wanted a marriage certificate, but unexpectedly received so many things she never imagined.
Her vision suddenly blurred, and she lowered her head and sniffed.
Rong Chengzhou heard this vaguely and his brows furrowed.
He raised his hand to touch her face, his cold voice deliberately softened: "What's wrong?"
Jiang Mingxue shook her head, rubbed her face against his palm, and felt the thin calluses on his hand, which made her feel inexplicably at ease.
She kept her head down and murmured, "Rong Chengzhou, you're so good, why didn't you want to get married back then?"
Anyone who marries such a good person will be happy for a lifetime.
Rong Chengzhou gently stroked her cheek with his fingertips, then reached out and pulled her into his arms, resting his chin on her hair.
His voice was deep: "I'm not as good as you think. This is all I can do. You think I'm good only because you tolerate my shortcomings."
Jiang Mingxue shook her head, disagreeing, and subconsciously said, "Your flaws are also your strengths."
Rong Chengzhou tilted his head slightly: "What do you mean?"
Jiang Mingxue didn't say anything, but poked her head out of his arms and tilted her head back to give him a light kiss on the lips.
As he froze, she lifted him up, hugged his neck, and called to him with a smile:
"Honey, I'm sleepy, carry me to bed."
