"Is this what you call being devoted? It's more like being foolish."
Ji Yunhua looked disgusted.
If Ouyang Xiuqi had said just a few more words, she wouldn't have misunderstood for so long.
"You prefer someone smarter?"
"They have to be smarter than me."
Thinking of Ouyang Xiuqi's past behavior, Xiao Qingyin laughed and said, "Don't be so demanding, okay?"
"That's high?" Ji Yunhua scoffed. "I'm not that smart, if I find someone who's not smart either, wouldn't that just lower the child's IQ?"
Xiao Qingyin glanced at her chest and said expressionlessly, "Some people don't even know if they can have children, so why are they worrying about the child's intelligence?"
Ji Yunhua: "..."
She thought for a moment and replied, "You're right. We need to assess his abilities in that area first."
Xiao Qingyin: "???"
What aspect does "that aspect" refer to?
That's a really fast leap in thinking.
She chuckled and said, "You came here just to find an excuse for yourself, didn't you?"
You've even considered that aspect, and you still say you haven't decided whether or not you want to be with him?
Ji Yunhua vehemently denied it: "You said before that arranged marriages are prone to tragedy, and it's best to try living together first and get married only if everything is suitable. Given Ouyang Xiuqi's performance, I can still give him a trial marriage opportunity."
Xiao Qingyin: "..."
What should I do if I'm a little jealous?
She hasn't even had a trial marriage with Yi Shuihan yet.
After chatting with her for a while, Ji Yunhua returned to Ouyang Xiuqi's carriage in a good mood.
"I've made up my mind."
She announced with a smile.
So fast?
Ouyang Xiuqi's heart tightened.
Marriage is such a big decision; who would decide on it in less than half an hour?
Based on his experience, there is only one situation in which a decision can be made quickly.
That is rejection.
Saying no can relieve people from the stress of making decisions and instantly improve their mood.
Ji Yunhua looked so relaxed and cheerful, so the answer was probably not what he wanted.
He said with difficulty, "Would you like to reconsider?"
Ji Yunhua shook her head: "I've already made up my mind."
Ouyang Xiuqi took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and prepared to listen to the judgment of fate.
"Let's try living together first."
Ji Yunhua said decisively.
"If it's a good match, we'll be together; if not, then we'll just leave it at that."
The answer was unexpected.
Ouyang Xiuqi was stunned.
"Trial marriage? How do we do that?"
"We live like any other couple, but we're not bound together by marriage. If things don't work out, we separate."
Ouyang Xiuqi was dumbfounded.
"This...this is too unbelievable..."
Now that you're husband and wife, how can you just break up like that?
"You disagree?"
How could Ouyang Xiuqi disagree?
This was an opportunity he had fought hard for.
"I have no objection, but wouldn't you be at a disadvantage like this?"
Although they had been together, it was an accident and completely different from a trial marriage.
It seems like he's the one who benefits from the trial marriage.
Isn't she afraid that he might suddenly change his mind and dump her?
Ji Yunhua chuckled: "How is it that I'm the one who's at a disadvantage? Won't you be at a disadvantage? Let me be clear from the start, if our married life isn't harmonious, I definitely won't compromise."
Ouyang Xiuqi: "!!!"
This performance indicator is simply too terrifying.
What constitutes harmony?
If things don't go well, she'll turn on you and deny everything.
Ouyang Xiuqi's heart, which had finally settled down, was raised again.
How long should we try?
Ji Yunhua thought for a moment and replied, "Three months."
Three months, nearly a hundred days, and you'll have a thorough understanding of all aspects.
When should we start calculating?
"today."
Ouyang Xiuqi immediately straightened up.
"So what do we need to do now?"
"Aren't you still recovering from your allergy? Focus on getting better first. I'll take care of you."
Ouyang Xiuqi: "..."
Is it too late for him to regret it now?
If he had known that his allergy would delay his trial marriage, he would never have let an ant touch him!
Now it's all over, he'll need at least a week to recover.
So many days wasted.
Ji Yunhua chuckled to herself.
Serves them right.
It's your own fault for not taking care of yourself.
When the two began their trial marriage, the Marquis of Yong'an devoted himself to taking care of his pregnant wife at home.
When Princess Zhaoyang was thirsty, hungry, or tired, he would bring her water and food, and massage her feet and shoulders without her having to say a word.
They took meticulous care of her.
Whether it's a big or small matter, I never delegate it to others.
Yi Shuihan was amazed.
Thinking that she was about to get married and would have to take care of Xiao Qingyin in the future, she ordered a thick notebook to be made and gave it to the old man.
"Father, this is a notebook I gave you. Do you like it?"
When Marquis Yong'an heard him call him "father," he immediately became wary.
"what you up to?"
He couldn't possibly accept his unfilial son's overzealousness.
“You take such good care of your mother. If you could record the process of raising your child and publish it in the future, it would be wonderful for Da Xi’s sons to follow your example.”
Marquis Yong'an sneered.
How could he not know what kind of cunning thoughts his son had? He was raised by his own hands and feet.
"To make the men of Da Xi follow suit? I mean, to make you follow suit."
Yi Shuihan clicked his tongue in admiration: "No one understands me better than my father."
Marquis Yong'an found his expression particularly offensive.
I really want to refuse directly.
But thinking of her unfilial son's ignorance and the suffering her daughter-in-law would endure, she couldn't bring herself to be so cruel.
He took the notebook and glared at Yi Shuihan: "You just know how to take advantage of me."
