108: take off?

For the first three years of college, Wang Qiang bought me many things, sending breakfast, supper, milk tea… but I never accepted them.

The turning point came one morning. It hadn't been raining when I left home, but by the time I reached school, it was pouring. I was standing in the bus shelter waiting for the rain to stop when Wang Qiang walked over with an umbrella.

For three years, from Monday to Friday, he would wait for me at the school gate every morning. He truly had great perseverance.

The umbrella wasn't very big, and because he wanted to maintain a distance from me, Wang Qiang's upper body was largely exposed to the rain. Afterwards, he caught a cold and had a persistent high fever…

Many classmates talked about me behind my back, and indeed, Wang Qiang got sick because of me. After he recovered, he sincerely confessed to me again in front of the whole class, using wildflowers he had picked himself.

Under the encouragement of my classmates, I finally chose to tacitly agree.

Wang Qiang wasn't outstanding, but he was very hardworking and diligent. He was even studying during our late-night video calls…

Perhaps, marrying him wouldn't be so bad?

At least, he was very good to me. Perhaps, he and I would live a plain but stable life, just like my parents.

The first time I felt that this choice was a mistake was when I met Wang Qiang's mother, the woman who might become my future Mother-in-law.

She seemed to have an innate hostility towards me.

It was her first time in Xingcheng. I used my own money to buy a turbot, chicken, beef… to entertain her. I thought she would be happy, but instead, she sternly told me that I didn't know how to manage a household, didn't understand frugality, and that the money I earned in the future should be handed over to her for safekeeping.

Wang Qiang watched from the side. Although he comforted me, he didn't refute his mother's words.

Perhaps… he thought his mother was right.

But did I really do something wrong?

I felt very bad and depressed, but Wang Qiang told me not to take it to heart, and that in the future, he and I would live in Xingcheng.

That's right, my future Mother-in-law couldn't possibly live in Xingcheng after all.

But I never expected that this was merely the beginning of a nightmare…

Wang Qiang's mother spoke to my parents about her son's excellence and listed my shortcomings, as if my marrying into her family was an honor for ours.

The first meeting of the elders was a bit unpleasant. Although my parents didn't say anything, I could sense their worry.

I already had regrets, but Wang Qiang was already making arrangements for our wedding…

A text message changed everything.

I was so glad I saw that message. It saved me. I am grateful to the person named Xu Zimo.

I thought that by returning the betrothal gifts, everything would be over, and my life would return to normal, but I didn't expect that this might just be another beginning.

Feeling troubled, I went to a small bar to drown my sorrows. There, I met the man named Xu Zimo again.

Before this, my impression of him wasn't very deep. I just thought this man was very honest, very family-oriented, and completely devoted to his wife…

This met my requirements for a partner.

After getting drunk, I cried and made a scene in front of him. It was the first time I had ever lost control like that since I could remember, and also the first time I had been so close to someone of the opposite sex.

And I even actively tried to kiss him, but ended up throwing up all over both of us.

He didn't take advantage of my drunken state, and my good impression of him increased again. I even wondered if it wouldn't be bad if he could become my partner.

But, perhaps we would just be strangers in the future.

But I didn't expect the turning point to come so quickly…

In the coffee shop, during our first eye contact, an unprecedented feeling arose in my heart.

Was it love at first sight?

He and I got together. I didn't expect that I wouldn't resist his closeness at all.

Neither psychologically nor physically.

After that, I thought about him all the time, even getting distracted at work.

Is this what it feels like to fall in love with someone?

It's truly wonderful, beautiful, and blissful.

The day we moved into our new home, I understood the look in his eyes. I thought I would be scared and flustered, but more than that, I was worried I would lose him…

Finally, we belonged to each other.

I am so happy!

I know he loves me very, very much, but I still have one concern… I haven't met my future in-laws yet.

What kind of people will they be? Will they support him and me being together?

I'm afraid all of this will be my imagination, like a bubble that could burst at any moment.

My greatest wish now is… to gain the approval of my future in-laws.

Ding!

Lucky Mission: Help Tang Xinyi gain the approval of the Host's parents.

Reward: 10% shares of Dongye Group (East Industry).

Xu Zimo carefully read through Tang Xinyi's emotional journey.

To be honest, he even regretted hurting this good girl.

She would definitely make a good wife and loving mother.

But what about himself?

However, what's done is done. Thinking about those things is useless now. He just needed to treat her well in the future and not let her be sad.

Xu Zimo never expected that Tang Xinyi's biggest wish was to gain the approval of his parents.

Perhaps, the shadow cast by her Former Mother-in-law was too great, leaving her with no confidence, which is why she was so uneasy.

In reality, how many families wouldn't like such a sensible and kind girl?

Xu Zimo decided to fulfill her wish.

Coincidentally, the housewarming party for their new home was approaching. Taking her back to meet the elders would be good.

"10% shares of Dongye Group (East Industry)?"

Xu Zimo still had an impression of Dongye Group (East Industry).

It was one of Xingcheng's top ten private enterprises.

Its industries included real estate, building materials, catering, entertainment… and so on.

For a group like this, the largest shareholder's stake would certainly exceed fifty-one percent.

Ten percent.

The dog system was indeed as stingy as ever!

Other people's systems directly gave away hundreds of billions or trillions of groups, but you only gave ten percent shares. Is this right?

Although he definitely couldn't manage it well with his current abilities.

Did the system want him to purely live off dividends?

So, Xu Zimo obediently searched for information about Dongye Group (East Industry).

"Assets as high as 10.4 billion?!"

Hiss!

In other words, ten percent equals 1.04 billion?!

Xu Zimo was stunned.

The dog system was still very generous.

After all, the highest reward for daily missions currently was only one million.

Wait.

Could it be that after everyone's favorability towards him was full, he would receive a lucky mission like this?!

Wouldn't that be taking off?

So, he lowered his head and gave Tang Xinyi a fierce kiss.

"Hmm?"

Tang Xinyi frowned slightly, then her hand subconsciously reached into the quilt.

Stirring up trouble?!
