Now it was Jiang Juecheng's turn to be stunned.
What does this mean?
Does this mean they agree?
Lin Ying was suddenly amused by Jiang Juecheng's silly appearance.
Although Lin Ying was carefree, she wasn't oblivious to Jiang Juecheng's special attention towards her. After all, she had been working in the workplace for several years, and if she didn't have this much insight, she wouldn't have been recommended to go to university.
In fact, Lin Ying also had a good impression of Jiang Juecheng. After all, Jiang Juecheng was a good catch: good-looking, high-ranking, and considerate.
However, Lin Ying lacked confidence. She didn't have Xu Xinning's looks or outstanding achievements, and she wasn't from Kyoto. She felt she wasn't good enough for Jiang Juecheng.
Jiang Juecheng excitedly grabbed Lin Ying's hand, his voice trembling as he asked, "Lin, Lin Ying, you, you agree?"
Lin Ying was very embarrassed and tried to pull her hand away, but she couldn't manage it after a few tries. Her face was so red that it looked like it was about to bleed. "You, you let go."
Jiang Juecheng grinned foolishly: "I won't let go, I'll never let go."
Lin Ying gave Jiang Juecheng a playful glare, "It wouldn't be good if someone saw us."
Jiang Juecheng: "What business is it of anyone else if I hold my own wife's hand?"
Lin Ying glanced around and saw that some people were already looking this way. She said anxiously, "You, let go!"
Fearing he might anger Lin Ying, Jiang Juecheng immediately said, "I'll listen to my wife."
Lin Ying glared at Jiang Juecheng again: "I didn't expect you to be so shameless, calling someone 'wife' before anything's even started."
Jiang Juecheng smiled slyly: "How can you say there's no sign of it? Didn't we just officially become a couple? Today I'll go back and ask my grandfather to pick an auspicious day for our wedding. Tomorrow I'll hand over all my assets to you. Anyway, I've decided you're the one."
Lin Ying: "Isn't this too fast?"
Jiang Juecheng: "No, no, you should also tell your family when we can go and propose marriage."
Lin Ying nodded.
Although Lin Ying's family is not from Kyoto, they are not far from it; otherwise, she wouldn't have been recommended to attend the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University here.
Lin Ying's parents were both government officials; her father was a junior leader in the Forestry Bureau, and her mother was a leader in a high school.
Lin Ying was outstanding from a young age. If it weren't for the limitations of the times, she probably wouldn't have had to go to a vocational school.
Xu Xinning never expected Jiang Juecheng to be so quick, resolving such a major life event in just one trip, which was a far cry from his quiet and honest image back in Xujia Village.
What she didn't expect was that he would prepare such a valuable dowry for her; it was impossible not to be moved.
When Xu Xinning and Mu Jingheng returned, they ran into Du Changpu downstairs, who had just come down the stairs.
Xu Xinning greeted her with a smile, "Teacher Du, what a coincidence!"
Du Changpu: "I just knocked on your door, but there was no response after knocking for a long time. I thought you had gone back to the compound."
Mu Jingheng: "That's such a coincidence. Let's go upstairs."
Seeing that the two were carrying heavy loads, Du Changpu reached out and took some of them from them.
Du Changpu joked, "Why did you buy so much stuff? Did you empty the whole market?"
Mu Jingheng smiled and said, "Pretty much. We're having a housewarming party today, so you can stay for dinner too, but you'll be helping out."
Du Changpu: "Sure, what's there to be afraid of if there's food to eat?"
When Du Changpu arrived, she was carrying a large net bag full of fruit, which looked quite heavy, and her hands were marked with the bag's weight.
After paying for the tape recorder and sewing machine, Jiang Juecheng bought Lin Ying a watch.
Although Lin Ying wasn't stingy, she felt sorry for Jiang Juecheng after seeing how much money and tickets he spent. It seemed she had to keep an eye on his money and tickets, otherwise he'd be starving if he kept spending like this.
Now that they were officially in a relationship and she had accepted the watch as a token of their love, Lin Ying stopped being coy and said to Jiang Juecheng, "Don't forget about handing over all your assets. But I'll give you pocket money every month. We can't be stingy when it's necessary, but if you squander money where it's not, I won't forgive you."
Jiang Juecheng smiled broadly and looked at Lin Ying, promising, "I'll listen to my wife. If she tells me to go east, I'll never go west. If she says the sun is square, I'll never say it's round."
Lin Ying was amused, muttered "cheeky" and walked on by herself.
Mu Jingheng was also stunned when he saw what Jiang Juecheng had bought; he hadn't expected him to be so extravagant.
Human relationships are based on give and take; that's how they last.
Now that Jiang Juecheng is being generous, Xu Xinning and Mu Jingheng won't be stingy when he gets married. Besides, they have everything in the space, so there's no need for them to be stingy.
As soon as Jiang Juecheng and Lin Ying returned, Xu Xinning and Mu Jingheng sensed the difference in the atmosphere between them.
As Jiang Juecheng helped Mu Jingheng set up the sewing machine, Mu Jingheng whispered to Jiang Juecheng, "Is it done?"
Jiang Juecheng smiled happily and nodded: "It's settled. I'll ask my grandfather to choose a good day when I get back today."
Mu Jingheng: "Are you aware of Lin Ying's family situation?"
Jiang Juecheng: "I know a little bit. She mentioned it to me casually when we were together."
Mu Jingheng: "Lin Ying herself is a good person, but her family cannot be ignored, after all, you and Old Master Jiang are not ordinary people."
Jiang Juecheng: "Don't worry, I know her. Her parents are good people, otherwise she wouldn't be so cheerful and innocent."
Jiang Juecheng glanced in the direction of the kitchen and said softly, "Do you remember the woman who was with Du Changpu? She was also in Ningning's dorm. That woman is too cunning. Du Changpu is being targeted. This is troublesome."
Mu Jingheng: "Du Changpu is such a blockhead, all he knows is how to do research. He won't even know if he gets sold out. But his grandfather is no pushover, so that woman probably has no chance."
Jiang Juecheng pursed his lips. "It's hard to say. If she uses some tricks to make Du Changpu take responsibility, what can Old Master Du do?"
Mu Jingheng: "Don't worry, he's always being protected by someone in secret. As long as he doesn't do anything reckless, he should be fine."
Jiang Juecheng laughed: "You really can see through everything. Do you know that Ningning also has many people protecting her in secret?"
Mu Jingheng rolled his eyes at Jiang Juecheng: "Do you think I'm stupid? My wife can create so much wealth, earn so much foreign exchange, and her medical skills are so superb, the higher-ups will definitely take her seriously!"
Jiang Juecheng felt he was being incredibly foolish; why did he have to bring this up and let someone show off in front of him?
Jiang Juecheng left Mu Jingheng and walked out.
In the kitchen, Lin Ying was showing Xu Xinning her token of love.
Lin Ying: "Isn't this watch beautiful? It's just too expensive. You have no idea how heartbroken I was. But when I thought about how it was his gift, I was happy again."
Xu Xinning laughed: "Don't worry, Brother Juecheng is rich. Not to mention a watch, even if you want three watches, a radio, seventy-two legs, and a big house, he can afford it all."
