Yan Xiaonan was taken aback. Oh right, how could she have forgotten that she could breathe through her nose?
Thinking about this, her face flushed red. She realized how shameless she had been.
Ye Chenming pulled Yan Xiaonan and ran towards the foot of the mountain. Yan Xiaonan really wanted to use her supernatural ability to find out what was going on.
But thinking that Ye Chenming must have a surprise for her, she decided not to use her special ability.
"Nan Nan, can you close your eyes?" Ye Chenming's voice trembled slightly.
Yan Xiaonan closed her eyes, her thick, long eyelashes still trembling slightly, and Ye Chenming couldn't help but kiss her.
Yan Xiaonan quickly pushed him away: "It itches, are you still going to let me see it or not?"
"Look, look, wait a moment." Ye Chenming quickly stepped back.
Listening to the rustling sound ahead, Yan Xiaonan guessed that it was the sound of straw.
After a while, Ye Chenming stood beside Yan Xiaonan and said, "Nannan, you can open your eyes now."
Yan Xiaonan slowly opened her eyes and saw twenty maroon mahogany boxes in front of her, each box decorated with the double happiness symbol.
Ye Chenming took Yan Xiaonan's hand and slowly walked forward.
I love the vibrant colors of spring; they are the seeds of hope.
I love the fiery red leaves of autumn; they signify a bountiful harvest.
I love the lush greenery of summer; it's a source of joy.
I love snowy winters; it's a sign of a bountiful harvest.
My favorite girl is named Yan Xiaonan. She is the lover etched in my heart, and I will always be loyal to her, cherish her, and stay by her side.
Yan Xiaonan's eyes welled up with tears. She never knew that Ye Chenming could be so romantic. It was so heartwarming.
These boxes looked familiar. Yan Xiaonan remembered that these boxes were buried under the sycamore tree in the small villa.
At that moment, Yan Xiaonan felt immense pressure. Back then, the Ye family had built a large and prosperous business, choosing the bright path of becoming red capitalists.
These twenty boxes must be the finest items that the Ye family managed to preserve with great difficulty.
"Chenming, didn't you send me to Shanghai? How did you manage to bring all these boxes over?"
Ye Chenming's eyes lit up. Nan Nan was indeed Nan Nan; her first question hit the nail on the head.
“I was thinking that every year some equipment is transported from Shanghai to Beijing, and these things were mixed in with it.”
"Is this your dowry?" Yan Xiaonan joked.
"Yes, I've given all my dowry to Nannan. From now on, I will follow the Three Obediences and Four Virtues and never break the rules."
Yan Xiaonan didn't quite understand the concepts of "three obediences and four virtues."
"Follow your wife when she goes out, obey her orders, and blindly follow her even when she is wrong. These are the three obediences."
"You have to be patient while your wife puts on makeup, be willing to spend money on her, tolerate her anger, and remember her birthday—these are the four virtues."
Yan Xiaonan was taken aback. These were the most popular phrases in her previous life. How could Ye Chenming know them? Could it be that he had also transmigrated?
Ye Chenming took a piece of paper out of his pocket and handed it to Yan Xiaonan: "There's a piece of paper in the book you gave me."
Yan Xiaonan took a look and sure enough, the paper was covered with these words written in a scribbled manner.
I secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that the person who read the book in my past life had put it inside. It had given me quite a fright.
"Nannan, do all the gods in heaven write this badly?" Ye Chenming asked, pointing disdainfully at the words on the paper.
Uh, Yan Xiaonan was speechless. In this age where typing is the main method, it's really not easy to write well.
I learned to write by practicing with Southeast Asia's pen and paper when I was a child; otherwise, it would definitely be just scribbles.
"Let me see what your dowry is. Don't tell me there's only one thing in one box." Yan Xiaonan quickly changed the subject.
Upon opening the first box, there was indeed only one item inside: a jade ruyi scepter inlaid with sandalwood.
Wow, this is incredibly valuable! Just looking at the protective case inside the box tells you how precious this jade ruyi is.
Upon opening the second box, there were two items inside: a pair of vases.
Yan Xiaonan knew that antique porcelain was valuable, but unfortunately, he didn't understand antiques.
Opening the third box, there was also the same item, labeled: Song Dynasty Ge Kiln Gold Wire Iron Wire Tripod Incense Burner.
Yan Xiaonan was speechless. She couldn't understand porcelain, let alone something so ancient.
Seeing Yan Xiaonan's expression, Ye Chenming opened a box. Yan Xiaonan took one look and exclaimed, "Wow, this looks nice!"
The box was designed as a nine-square grid, filled with agate snuff bottles, agate bowls with gold plating, gemstone gourd bottles, and white jade flower photo tubes. In particular, in the center of the nine-square grid, there was a gold-plated red coral and gemstone bonsai.
Yan Xiaonan took out the red coral gemstone bonsai, held it in her hands and examined it carefully. The sunlight shone through the red coral, giving off a shimmering glow.
The plum blossoms on the branches are all made of rubies and sapphires, while the buds are decorated with pearls.
And those thin green leaves were actually cut from jade, and even the soil in the pot was made of gold fragments.
These are priceless treasures! Yan Xiaonan carefully placed the items into the boxes, closed the lids, and slowly reached out, disappearing one box after another.
Ye Chenming's lips curled up. Nan Nan is so smart; she could tell the value of something with just one glance.
"Chenming, times are changing. Some things must be firmly held onto, or we won't be able to protect them," Yan Xiaonan said in a low voice.
Ye Chenming nodded: "That's what my grandfather said too. On our wedding day, you can choose a few things to donate."
Yan Xiaonan nodded. Grandpa Chenming was a very pragmatic person, and his decision was correct.
“My grandfather is over seventy years old. He came back this time to retire and enjoy his old age in the courtyard house,” Ye Chenming added.
Yan Xiaonan understood that a man in his seventies should be tending to flowers and plants, drinking a cup of Da Hong Pao tea, and listening to a traditional opera.
And then there's Grandma Fu. With such a long separation from her husband, how much time do they have left to enjoy their later years?
The atmosphere became somewhat tense. Yan Xiaonan pointed to Mushroom Mountain in the capital and said, "Chen Ming, I'll take you to see your new companion."
Ye Chenming's mood improved, and he took Yan Xiaonan's hand, saying, "Let's catch some wild game today. I haven't had barbecue in a long time."
Yan Xiaonan agreed wholeheartedly, and the two of them ran together towards Mushroom Mountain in Beijing. Their consciousness spread outwards, and Hu Xiaowang and Dongfeng looked up at the same time, then burst out.
Dongfeng, being a fully grown wolf, pounced and hugged Yan Xiaonan's head and neck in an unusually affectionate manner.
Tiger King came from behind, biting and pulling on Yan Xiaonan's trouser leg while making some kind of gurgling noises.
Yan Xiaonan released Dongfeng and picked up Hu Xiaowang: "Let me introduce you, my fiancé Ye Chenming and my guardian beast Hu Xiaowang."
Ye Chenming slowly reached out, wanting to hug Hu Xiaowang. Hu Xiaowang tilted his head, looked at Ye Chenming, and pounced on him.
"Nan Nan, could this be the Tiger King's cub?"
Yan Xiaonan nodded, then suddenly tears streamed down her face, startling Ye Chenming so much that he quickly put the tiger cub down and nervously took out a handkerchief.
"Chenming, Zhongnan is gone. I held him all night, and he's gone." Yan Xiaonan felt she could finally release her emotions.
