The light in Qin Yu's eyes grew brighter and brighter. His gaze towards Xia Lan was filled with relief and the joy of being understood. He couldn't help but keep kissing Xia Lan's cheek.
Xia Lan blushed and gently pushed Qin Yu away. "Don't kiss me anymore..."
Qin Yu released Xia Lan, walked to the corner of the room, removed the cover in front of him, and there was a hole behind the cover.
Qin Yu reached inside, took out a can, and then returned to place the can in Xia Lan's hand.
"What is this?" Xia Lan was taken aback, looking at the can in her hand, feeling that it was very heavy.
Qin Yu encouraged Xia Lan to open it and take a look. Xia Lan glanced at Qin Yu and reached out to open the can.
There was a piece of cloth inside. Xia Lan took out the cloth, and what was wrapped inside? After unwrapping it layer by layer, she found a thick roll of money inside, tied with a rubber band.
It's all about unity.
"This is..." Xia Lan looked at Qin Yu in astonishment. Qin Yu smiled and ruffled Xia Lan's hair.
“Your man is rich, so you don’t need to be frugal next time. Buy whatever you want…” Qin Yu pushed the money into Xia Lan’s arms.
"Brother Yu, I can't take it." Xia Lan quickly shook her head; she couldn't take so much money.
"You're my wife, who else would I spend my money on if not you? Or... do you still refuse to accept me?" Qin Yu looked at Xia Lan with a determined gaze. Seeing that Xia Lan refused to accept it, he assumed that she still did not want to accept him.
Emotions surged within him. He lowered his eyes to hide his disappointment, but in the end, Qin Yu closed his eyes, let out a long breath, smiled bitterly, and got up to leave the room.
"Brother Yu." Xia Lan's heart clenched when she saw Qin Yu's distressed state. Knowing that Qin Yu had misunderstood her, Xia Lan quickly hugged Qin Yu, who was about to leave.
Qin Yu straightened up, didn't turn around, but turned his face away from Xia Lan.
He didn't know how to face Xia Lan, and his eyes dimmed.
"Brother Yu, I'm not rejecting you," Xia Lan said nervously, feeling for the first time that someone could touch her heart so deeply.
But she knew that if Qin Yu left that door, she would definitely regret it.
"I'm so touched that you gave me so much money, really! I'm so happy that you were willing to tell me something so important, and that you didn't choose to hide it from me." Xia Lan buried her face in Qin Yu's back and explained anxiously.
"Then why won't you take my money..." Qin Yu said slowly in a hoarse voice.
He awaited Xia Lan's explanation.
"...It's too much, and you earned it all by taking such a huge risk. I haven't done anything for you..." Xia Lan wanted to say that Qin Yu earned the money, and she hadn't participated in it or knew about it. She felt it wasn't right to just accept Qin Yu like that.
But Qin Yu interpreted these words as rejection. "You're my wife, shouldn't you spend my money? I earn money so that my wife can have a good life in the future."
Qin Yu's words silenced Xia Lan, but she still held Qin Yu tightly in her arms.
Qin Yu waited quietly, and Xia Lan's voice finally rang out.
"Love isn't about going to the movies today and buying clothes tomorrow; that's not true love to me. Love is about having the same goals, working together, and striving for a better future."
Xia Lan had witnessed too many relationships break up because of material things, and she hoped that she and Qin Yu would not be like that.
Even if Qin Yu hadn't earned that much money, she wouldn't have left him easily.
"I hope that what we're talking about is more than just romance; it's about trust, loyalty, companionship, and something that can withstand the test of time. It's about thinking of each other even when we're apart, and about never abandoning each other no matter what happens."
"I'm willful, but I'm also very cautious. I hope we're not the kind of couple who just drift through life, living one day at a time. I want to enter your heart and live in it forever..."
Xia Lan's words, accompanied by a slight tremor, reached Qin Yu's ears. Qin Yu was greatly shocked and suddenly turned around to hug Xia Lan in his arms.
"You've been in my heart for a long time." Qin Yu hugged Xia Lan tightly, shocked by her bold confession and touched by the love she longed for.
He knew Xia Lan was special, but he still underestimated her.
She was very clear-headed. Even though she had become an orphan with no one to rely on, she was still trying her best to plan her future.
He kept her by his side out of pity, but she stayed by his side after careful consideration; she had already thought about their future together.
So she didn't hesitate to take it out and let him 'buy' a job.
She was already thinking about him when she got the job at the department store.
He held her tightly in his arms, surrounded by her scent.
At that moment, Qin Yu finally understood.
The woman in front of him was the woman he had always longed to spend his life with.
A warm current surged through his heart, instantly filling his tender soul and sweeping across his already turbulent mind, creating a calm, undisturbed pool.
Xia Lan raised her head and met Qin Yu's gaze. In that instant, she felt as if everything had stopped, and she felt completely lost in his eyes.
One glance at the human world, one glance at eternity.
"I really want to kiss you..." Qin Yu looked down at her, his deep voice carrying a hint of pleading.
Xia Lan glanced at Qin Yu, his breath almost touching hers, and blushed. Her hands instinctively reached up to his neck, pulling him close, and she shyly offered him a kiss.
He kissed her sweet, moist lips, which were exceptionally smooth and fragrant, and felt the sweet yet not cloying scent wafting from her body.
Qin Yu felt that his self-control, which he had always been proud of, was as fragile as paper in front of Xia Lan, and could be out of control at any moment.
