Qin Mucheng sighed and stood up.
Ji Yuanyuan stood up as well, but she did not let go of Qin Muchengâs clothes.
âAre you angry with me?â she asked again.
Why was Qin Mucheng becoming less and less adorable as he grew up?
Qin Mucheng reached out and ruffled Ji Yuanyuanâs hair, âWhen did Big Brother Mucheng become Brother Mucheng?â
Ji Yuanyuan blinked, âIs it different?â
âItâs different!â Qin Mucheng shook his head.
âThen⦠Big Brother Mucheng?â Ji Yuanyuan called out tentatively.
A smile finally appeared on Qin Muchengâs face.
He stretched out his hand and combed Ji Yuanyuanâs messy hair.
Seeing this, Ji Yuanyuan heaved a sigh of relief.
Although she still did not quite understand the difference between Big Brother Mucheng and Brother Mucheng, since Qin Mucheng liked her to call him Brother Mucheng, she would call him that in the future.
However, this was not a good habit for Qin Mucheng.
The older he grew, the more he resembled his previous life. He never took the initiative to say what he wanted and liked to keep everything in his heart.
If he didnât say anything, who knew what he was thinking?
In her previous life, it was because of this problem of his that she mistakenly thought Qin Mucheng did not have her in his heart. In the end, they ended up getting a divorce.
In this life, she did not want them to be like in her previous life.
She looked up at Qin Mucheng seriously, âBig Brother Mucheng, this isnât good!â
âWhatâs not good?â Qin Mucheng was stunned.
âIf you have something on your mind, just say it! Why are you ignoring me? Iâm not a worm in your stomach. How can I know what youâre thinking?â Ji Yuanyuan mumbled.
Qin Mucheng pursed his lips.
âPromise me that you wonât do this again. You must tell me what youâre thinking!â Ji Yuanyuan extended her hand and only raised her pinky.
Qin Mucheng lowered his head and looked at Ji Yuanyuanâs hand. After a moment of hesitation, he also extended his pinky.
âPinky swear! Itâs settled then!â Ji Yuanyuan yawned. âIâm so sleepy. Iâm going upstairs to rest for a while. See you later, Big Brother Mucheng.â
As the saying goes, one would be sleepy in spring, sleepy in autumn, and sleepy in summer. Once it was noon in summer, one would be extremely sleepy.
After Ji Yuanyuan finished speaking, she slowly went upstairs.
Qin Mucheng stood downstairs and looked at Ji Yuanyuanâs back. He lowered his eyes and looked at his fingers. After a moment, he smiled.
Gong Wenbai and Li Miaoâs engagement ceremony was scheduled for August in the solar calendar.
August 6th was the ninth day of the seventh month in the lunar calendar. It was a good day for engagement.
Gong Wenbai had spent a lot of money to find someone to calculate this good day.
On the day of the engagement, the scene was quite grand.
The location was set at a five-star hotel in City W. Gong Wenbai booked a large private room.
The Li family only had more than a dozen people, big and small. Together with Li Miaoâs Uncles and Aunts, there were more than 20 people in total.
Gong Wenbaiâs side had fewer people, so two of his comrades and partners came.
Qin Junshan also brought Qin Mucheng along to act as Gong Wenbaiâs family.
Gong Wenbai hadnât expected the two of them to come.
The moment he saw Qin Junshan, Gong Wenbai was quite excited.
With so many people, it was especially chaotic.
As the adults were chatting, Qin Mucheng quietly took two pieces of snacks from the table and ran to Ji Yuanyuan.
He stuffed the snacks into her hands and whispered, âEat something first.â
They werenât here to eat at such an occasion. After they finished their business, they would naturally be starve.
Ji Yuanyuan only took one piece and whispered, âWeâll each have a piece!â
Qin Mucheng nodded and stuffed the remaining piece of pastry into his mouth. He chewed for a while before swallowing it.
Ji Yuanyuan imitated Qin Mucheng and stuffed the entire piece of pastry into her mouth.
However, Ji Yuanyuan was a little choked on her snacks because her mouth was a little small. Her face was flushed red.
Qin Mucheng was looking for water and patting her back. He was also extremely anxious.
When Ji Yuanyuan calmed down, Gong Wenbai came in with a bag.
The bag was bulging. When he reached the table, Gong Wenbai took out everything inside. It was a lot of cash.
Ji Yuanyuan moved closer to Qin Muchengâs ear and said, âUncle Xiao Gong is so good to my Aunt. He has so much money!â
Grandpa and Grandma didnât mention anything about the betrothal gift, but Uncle Xiao Gong give 300,000 yuan.
The two of them were not married yet, but the house already had her Auntâs name.
She was right. Uncle Xiao Gong was really a good man.
Seeing Ji Yuanyuan looking at Gong Wenbai with admiration and envy, Qin Mucheng felt a little down.
Then, he seemed to have thought of something and whispered into Ji Yuanyuanâs ear, âYou donât have to be envious of others. When we get engaged, Iâll give you a portion of my companyâs shares directly!â
Yuanyuan said that if there was anything to say, just say it. Then he would just say it.
Ji Yuanyuan gasped and took a step back. She looked at Qin Mucheng in surprise.
Company shares?
Qin Mucheng, donât you think youâre exaggerating a little?
âYou donât believe me?â Qin Mucheng scratched his head.
Ji Yuanyuan quickly waved his hand, âYes, yes, yes. Of course I believe you.â
Qin Mucheng would do such a thing.
In her previous life, Qin Mucheng had been quite generous to her when they first got married.
He told her the passcode to the safe at home and the passcode to the bank card.
If she really had any bad intentions, it would be enough to give Qin Mucheng a headache.
Of course, she had never used these things before.
However, even if Qin Mucheng dared to give her company shares, she would not dare to take them.
As the two of them were talking, Gong Wenbai had already put out all the gold ornaments.
The banquet was about to begin!
Ji Yuanyuan quickly ran back to Li Xuâs side.
Qin Mucheng also returned to Qin Junshanâs side.
Qin Junshan came as Gong Wenbaiâs parent, so he naturally need him to start the show.
Qin Junshanâs status was there, so no one said anything.
During the meal, Liu Guihua and Li Zhimingâs attitudes were also very clear.
They wouldnât take a single cent from the betrothal gift of 300,000 yuan. They would also add another 50,000 yuan as Li Miaoâs dowry.
In the past two years, the old coupleâs bodies were not as strong as before, and they did not take care of the greenhouse much.
They probably didnât have much money left.
Although 50,000 yuan was a little less than Gong Wenbaiâs 300,000 yuan, it eventually went into Li Miaoâs and Gong Wenbaiâs pocket.
After the engagement party ended, Gong Wenbai sent the guests away and brought Li Miao to the bank.
He deposited all the betrothal gifts into her account.
Only the Li family was left at the scene.
Liu Guihua took out a bank card from her pocket and quietly stuffed it into Li Xuâs hand.
Li Xu looked at Liu Guihua strangely, âMother, what are you doing?â
âKeep it, keep it!â Liu Guihua held her hand.
Li Xu looked at Zhang Kun strangely.
What was wrong with her mother? Why did she suddenly give her money?
âI donât want it. I have money!â Li Xu declined..
