Xu Nianhua looked at the document with her name on it and the huge deposit in the bankbook, and without thinking, she pushed them back. To her, these things were like a hot potato.
"You’re my girlfriend."
Pei Yicheng strongly placed them back in her hands, giving her no chance to refuse.
"Not your wife?" Xu Nianhua replied subconsciously. It was only the wife and husband who would hand over their bankbooks. It was a reaction without thought, and she had no idea how suggestive her words were.
"Then let’s get our marriage certificate now." Pei Yicheng looked at her with a face full of expectation. If he weren’t afraid of scaring her, he would’ve wanted to get the certificate immediately.
Xu Nianhua closed the bankbook and glared at him, "You’re still on probation!"
Getting a marriage certificate, they had only been dating for a few months, how could they possibly get one now.
"I’m so outstanding, and you still won’t make me permanent?" Pei Yicheng looked at her with a sad face as if she had committed some unforgivable crime.
"Mhmph, take these back, change the name to yours."
Xu Nianhua felt like she had become a bad woman for a moment. In all honesty, they weren’t even married yet and he was giving her this large sum of money. Wasn’t he afraid she’d take the money and turn her back on him?
"Sooner or later, it’ll be yours." Pei Yicheng took some documents back but left the bankbook with Xu Nianhua, saying, "The password is your birthday. You can use it however you want."
With that, Pei Yicheng turned around and left.
"Aren’t you afraid I’d turn my back on you!" Xu Nianhua said looking at his departing figure. Clutching the bankbook, she carefully put it in her bag, planning to find an opportunity to return it to Pei Yicheng.
Xu Nianji purposely went to meet Ji Shuyuan where he had set up his stall. Xu Nianji did not hide the matter from Ji Shuyuan, and summarized the situation for him.
"The Gu Family?" Ji Shuyuan had taken a strong dislike to Gu Junhe after seeing how he treated his wife, and his relationship with Gu Junhe had grown distant. However, he knew many people with knowledge about the Gu Family. He said, "The Gu Family’s eldest daughter is Gu Mingzhu, married to Jiang Jing, also a top student at our school. I’m not sure if she’s pregnant. I think he has a younger brother named Gu Mingcheng who likes to paint."
"Then, could you find out if Gu Mingzhu is really pregnant?" Xu Nianji asked.
Ji Shuyuan thought for a moment and said, "This isn’t exactly a secret. I’ll go inquire in a bit. But, to know more details, one would have to follow up at the hospital."
"Then be careful, and make sure the Gu Family doesn’t discover this," Xu Nianji reminded him repeatedly.
Ji Shuyuan replied, "Don’t worry, I will be careful."
In Ningbei, Xu Nianhua hadn’t seen Pei Yicheng for several days, but the gifts he sent her were delivered by Pei Yining who had just come from the outside shoot.
"Nianhua, this perfume is the latest release from Liunian, and my brother said it’s the very first bottle." Pei Yining’s words were brimming with the intent to build goodwill for her brother. She added, "By the way, this scent is especially lovely. You should try it." 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎
Pei Yining encouraged her to open it and take a sniff.
Xu Nianhua opened the exquisite box, revealing a heart-shaped glass bottle filled with bright red perfume. The bottle alone was incredibly pleasing to the eye.
"Wow, it’s beautiful!"
Pei Yining looked at the box enviously, even though she had brought the gift herself, she hadn’t seen what it looked like inside!
