Xiao Xingyu hung up the call with one hand, smiled back at Zhang Moyan, came over and put the thermos in her hand into the storage box beside her. Then he put his fist to the tip of his nose and cleared his throat, straightened his back, reached into the inside pocket of his suit, and took out a golden bracelet.
"My parents have agreed. According to the rules, you have to accept the three golds before getting the marriage certificate, right? The gold necklace, gold ring, and gold earrings are all waiting for you at home. This is the first gold, the most important, and it best represents the significance of the proposal."
A proposal? Zhang Moyan thought they no longer needed this ring. She looked at the bracelet in front of her and felt that it looked familiar: "This is..."
"This is the gift my mother wanted to give you on your birthday, but you refused to accept it at that time. Well, now you can accept my mother's kindness, right?" Xiao Xingyu smiled and pulled Zhang Moyan's wrist. After a moment of silence, he said solemnly, "Put on this bracelet and from now on you are a member of our family."
He leaned over and kissed the back of Zhang Moyan's soft hand. Then he raised his eyes, his handsome eyes shining like stars: "Moyan, will you marry me? I'm greedy, I want to be the most important person to you."
Zhang Moyan's heart trembled. Looking at Xiao Xingyu's eyebrows, eyes and facial features from this angle, she felt that this face was even more captivating.
"You already are," she said.
After a pause, she added, "I have one more request."
Xiao Xingyu paused and smiled like a bandit leader who had just taken over the mountain and declared himself king: "Are you still hesitating? No way, I've already risked my life!"
"It's not hesitation," Zhang Moyan said, dispelling someone's concerns. "I just want you to promise me that you will teach me how to make porcelain. Because no matter how deeply involved I am with celadon porcelain, or as your partner, I don't want to know nothing about it."
Xiao Xingyu breathed a sigh of relief. "Okay, okay. I thought you were just frightened by something! Okay, I promise I'll devote all my life's knowledge to train you to become an industry elite!"
As he said this, he quickly put the gold bracelet on Zhang Moyan as if he was afraid that something would change again.
Zhang Moyan stared at Xiao Xingyu's shiny black hair. All the love, gratitude, self-blame and determination in her heart rushed to her eyes, blurring her vision.
"Xingyu, actually, the person I want to thank the most is you," she held Xiao Xingyu's big hand, calmed her breath, and then spoke a complete sentence. "I have walked the road alone for a long time. Thank you for pulling me back when I was at the end of the road. I never dared to think that you would risk the family taboo to be with me. Thank you for having the courage to marry me after knowing everything. In the past, I didn't dare to give you a firm love, but I swear from today on, I will never let you down again."
"...Yeah, okay!" Xiao Xingyu's eyes were filled with the deep joy of having his wish fulfilled. He tightened his clasped hands and said with a smile, "Why are you thanking everyone like it's an awards ceremony? How can I rescue you from this dire situation if I don't marry you? Mo Yan, you never have to say thank you to me again. You're welcome. From today on, we're a family registered under the same household registration!"
Xiao Wa was driving with tears streaming down his face. He really couldn't understand how someone could be moved to tears by watching a heartbroken woman's love story. He even suggested, "Brother Yu, there's a big shopping mall just up ahead. Why don't you stop and buy your sister-in-law a diamond ring? People use diamond rings when proposing! Diamonds represent love!"
The word "diamond ring" seemed to sting Xiao Xingyu, and he retorted in a second: "Diamond rings are just a tax on your IQ, you know? When you have a wife, you can buy whatever you like. We like gold. Gold can represent everything, not just love!"
Xiao Wa said casually that he didn't expect Xiao Xingyu to react so strongly. He glanced at the rearview mirror and was suddenly met with his brother's sharp glare. He was suddenly startled and remembered that Jin Xueyang had given Zhang Moyan a diamond ring. He immediately shrank towards the base, wishing he could disappear on the spot.
Nowadays, the three huge mountains of mortgage, car loan and betrothal gift have forced young people to choose not to marry or have children. As the news said, the marriage registration offices are indeed deserted.
It took Zhang Moyan and Xiao Xingyu less than 20 minutes from queuing up at the door to registering, getting their certificates and leaving the house. This was 5 minutes faster than going to the police station to transfer Zhang Moyan's registered address.
Xiao Wa sat in the car and watched his brother Yu and Zhang Moyan come out of the police station holding hands. He felt a mixture of love and hate, but he had to admit that from the picture, this talented man and beautiful woman were indeed a perfect match.
As usual, they went down to greet Xiao Xingyu and Zhang Moyan and got on the car. Xiao Xingyu had just sat down and hadn't fastened his seat belt when he heard Xiao Xingyu casually say in the back seat, "Xiao Xingyu, we're going to your hometown in Ruyang now. We can't take the high-speed train. Sorry for the trouble!"
Xiao Wa's ears exploded, and he turned around stiffly, stumbling, "W-what? Brother Yu, where are you going?"
Zhang Moyan raised her eyes from the household registration book in her hand and looked at Xiao Xingyu in confusion.
Xiao Xingyu raised his eyebrows slightly, and patiently repeated to Xiao Wa, word by word, clearly and distinctly: "Go to your old Ruyang home."
Xiao Wa's eyebrows twitched, and his expression was filled with unconcealable panic.
The pressure in the narrow space of the carriage was obviously doubled.
"Xingyu, why are we going to Xiaowa's house so suddenly?" Zhang Moyan asked in confusion. Actually, Xiaowa should have asked this question, but obviously he didn't dare to ask at this moment.
Xiao Xingyu gave Zhang Moyan a relaxed smile: "Xiao Wa had something to give us as a wedding gift. He sent it back a while ago. Let's go pick it up now. Xiao Wa, don't you agree?"
"Oh..." Zhang Moyan didn't understand, but seeing Xiao Xingyu's meaningful expression, she knew they must have a reason to go.
Xiaowa's face was already pale, and his lips were trembling as if he couldn't say yes or no.
Xiao Xingyu glanced at him, then calmly asked Zhang Moyan, "Moyan, do you know Xiaowa's last name?"
