Xinlan was still the mother of his son, and they were in love besides, shouldn’t she be even more inclined to agree?
If Lin Xinlan knew what he was thinking, she would certainly say he was too full of himself, actually believing he was RMB, thinking the whole world loved him?
However, the name Rong Shaoze seemed to have a similar effect on people as the word RMB...
"So if I marry you, I’ll be your wife, right?" she asked.
"Since I’ll be your wife, I have the right to know how much your assets are worth. When you propose, you should present your bankbook, your real estate, your liquid assets, let me review them all, and hand them over to me for safekeeping. Only then will I agree to marry you. You’re really silly, the modern ideal husband should have no private stash of money, can you do that?" She was actually just teasing him.
Rong Shaoze had too much money for her to manage—it was so much that she would worry about getting robbed just walking down the street.
The man suddenly realized, nodded his head, but then said, "Wife, I’m penniless, what secret funds could I possibly have? I’d also like to entrust all my money to you, but I really don’t have a penny..."
Lin Xinlan mentally spat at that, this man was shameless, simply lying with his eyes wide open!
She immediately felt a chill and deliberately said in a displeased tone, "I was planning to reluctantly agree to marry you, considering your vast wealth. But you are too dishonest and even lie, claiming to be penniless. Who deceives people like that? Tell me the truth, are you worried I’ll embezzle your money and that’s why you’re pretending to be poor? Rong Shaoze, is that what you think of me?"
As she spoke, she actually felt a bit wronged.
What exactly did he mean, did he really think she was after his money?
If she were after his money, would she have waited until today to fall for him? She would have clung to him from the moment she first married him.
Maybe in his eyes, every woman who approached him did so for his money.
The more Lin Xinlan thought about it, the more depressed she became, and the worse she felt inside.
Rong Shaoze, however, burst into hearty laughter. He leaned in close to her, with a smile in his voice, asked softly, "Are you mad?"
"Get lost!" she shoved his face away, glaring at him displeased.
The man ignored her drenched body, leaned in to embrace her tightly, and gently kissed her lips, saying affectionately, "Silly girl, you forgot, all my assets have been inherited by Xiaocong, I truly don’t have a dime. The money I’m using now belongs to our son."
Lin Xinlan’s eyes widened suddenly.
How could she have forgotten that!
So, it turned out Rong Shaoze was indeed broke, really poor indeed.
"I don’t have a single penny now, so take pity on me and take me in," he said pitifully on purpose, showing an innocent, pure, and pitiful face, with tears brimming, "Wife, I need sponsorship and support."
"Pfft—" Lin Xinlan immediately burst out laughing. She lay on him, laughing so hard she could hardly catch her breath, until her stomach hurt, and then she stopped.
"Rong Shaoze, where did you learn all these expressions? Aren’t you embarrassed?" She held his face in her hands, chuckling as she asked.
The man’s face was thick, naturally not afraid of her mockery.
He chuckled, "Xinlan, I’m so pitiful now, just agree to marry me, alright?"
"No way!" she laughed, shaking her head.
