"Pfft." Ye Moxun was genuinely amused. There was no atmosphere at all. He even made a vow. Why not just get married on the spot?
"What's so funny? I'm just letting you know my determination, but I can't be the only one expressing my determination. Wouldn't it be fair if we both did it together?" Song Tantan said earnestly.
Feelings aren't calculated like that. If it could be resolved by signing an agreement like a business transaction, with both parties signing their names, that wouldn't be feelings; that would be cooperation.
However, seeing her slightly smug expression, Ye Moxun felt that even if he explained now, she wouldn't listen. He decided to leave it at that for now and let things take their course. She would gradually understand in the future, and if she still didn't understand, he would teach her.
Song Tantan also realized that there was a problem with what she had just said. She was slow to understand, but not stupid. Who would date like that? What's the point of dating? It would be better to be alone forever.
"Ah Xun, are you angry?" Song Tantan suddenly grabbed his sleeve and shook it, her chubby little face scrunched up like a bun. "Don't be angry. I won't do that again. I'll definitely treat you well, I'll treat you well for the rest of my life. You won't suffer if you're with me."
"This is getting more and more outrageous. It's you and me, not me and you. If we really get together in the future, you have to marry me, not me coming to your door. This needs to be made clear." Ye Moxun corrected seriously.
“What’s the difference? I still have to support you. If you really think about it, you’ll be living the high life with me…” Song Tantan’s voice trailed off until it disappeared.
"I like you too, just like you like me."
"You're still fussing over this? True love can't be compared. You don't understand." Ye Moxun's forehead twitched. He felt that he would have a tough time in the future, as this girl would often make him want to swear.
"I understand. I think I'm only saying this because I don't like you that much right now, because I don't think you like me that much either. We've just discovered that we like each other a little. Our feelings are just beginning to blossom and need to be nurtured for a few more years. Once the sapling grows into a towering tree, we'll like each other very much."
Song Tantan spoke in a tongue twister-like manner, saying things that left others completely bewildered, but Ye Moxun understood them. He didn't say anything, but simply rubbed her head a few times until her hair was a mess before letting go.
Actually, it's nothing. He understands that Song Tantan just doesn't really believe in love. Even though she finds herself a little attracted, she doesn't dare to fully open her heart to accept it. She cautiously tests the waters again and again because she's too insecure.
"If you agree, let's get engaged when we get back." Ye Moxun brought up the engagement because he was certain that he had chosen her for life. He admitted that he only liked her now, but it wasn't love yet.
But he can't even like other people. Maybe he's the one who doesn't believe in love?
He has always emphasized that he was very pampered in his previous life, truly pampered, with his whole family spoiling him, but he has never said that his parents and his two older brothers and their wives were all in business marriages.
It can't be said that they had no feelings for each other at all. They treated each other with respect and even appeared to be a loving couple to outsiders. They were both responsible to their company and their families.
But Ye Moxun always felt that something was missing. His family relationships were well maintained, but he was trying too hard. When everyone came home, they didn't seem like family, but rather like actors who had overacted.
What they like most is profit and money. He was a sensitive child from a young age, more precocious than his peers. He understood many things that others couldn't, so he was somewhat disgusted with that kind of life.
He also dislikes himself. On one hand, he enjoys the extravagant material life his family provides, and on the other hand, he feels disgusted by everything he has. Is he too immature, or is his life too stressless, so he has too high expectations?
His family environment influenced him to believe that loving someone means constantly giving gifts, throwing money at them, luxury cars, villas, diamond rings, and cruise ships—whatever you have, just throw it at them. What kind of woman can't you get? What kind of woman wouldn't love you?
His two older brothers had done the same thing, and so had his father. They would send their mother expensive gifts, and she would reciprocate with equally expensive gifts. There was nothing that money couldn't solve.
He has never lacked money since he was a child. He never dated until he was eighteen because he felt that women would interfere with his time for fighting and playing. He is more handsome than a celebrity, and before he even started throwing money at women, he had already captivated a large number of women.
The thought of it was too much trouble. He decided to wait until a girl who could attract him appeared. He always believed that there was no woman in the world who wouldn't like him, and that everyone would like him even without spending money.
However, he still decided that once he met his true love, he would do the same thing as his family: shower the person he liked with money, and the sense of ritual was essential.
However, before he could put his plan to shower his soulmate with money into his life, he was gone.
After being reborn, his world underwent a dramatic change. His father in this life taught him that money can get you any woman. He originally thought that when he grew up, he would still use money to win over his true love.
Later, the world fell into chaos, and the family began to flee. The clan leader even abandoned him. He was penniless and stumbled along with his uncle, who was skilled in martial arts, and barely survived.
Back then, he thought he wouldn't live to grow up, but unexpectedly, he met Song Tantan, the woman who had his stomach completely under her thumb.
Living with Song Tantan, he learned a lot (forcedly), including various research projects and medical studies. He realized that life wasn't just about throwing money around; it was also about continuous learning, helping others, and helping oneself to live a better life.
After he plundered several boxes of gold and silver treasures from Duke, Cao Laoda, and others, he was rich again. He threw the boxes of gold and silver treasures at Song Tantan, who accepted them without hesitation. However, she was neither moved nor in love with him.
This completely shattered his worldview. It turns out that throwing money at someone can't make everyone love him, at least not Song Tantan. She's a silly girl who understands love even less than he does.
However, they quickly reconciled and their engagement was finalized. She promised to learn to love him, and he promised to fall in love with her soon.
After hearing about what happened between them, Song Zhuiyan sent them a song.
"What song? Another song from my grandparents' generation?" Song Tantan chuckled, not taking it seriously.
"You guessed right, but there's no reward," Song Zhuiyan sniffed and said, "Have you heard about the agreement?"
"I think I've heard it before, but I don't think I have." Song Tantan thought for a moment and was sure she didn't remember the song. Ye Moxun also had no recollection of it.
Song Zhuiyan didn't intend to sing, but instead took out a 0.5mm pen, copied down the lyrics, and handed them to them.
The lyrics consist of only one verse:
We've come a long way from mud to beautiful scenery, finding courage in each other's eyes... We promised each other not to mention sad memories, and that we'd never worry each other... We promised to stop arguing quickly, and that we'd be completely transparent with each other, with no secrets between us.
I will love you well, love you foolishly, and not care about fairness.
