167: No inch of skin is spared

Hu Xiaoqiu, Bai Jinkun, Bai Ci, and Bai Hui all looked at Wu Fan in disbelief.

He's so generous, just opening his mouth and offering 1.5 million. Does his family own a bank?

Wu Fan didn't offer any more explanations and directly transferred 1.5 million to Bai Yan.

"Auntie, this 1.5 million cannot be given to you all at once. When you need to spend money, you'll need to explain the purpose, and only after Bai Yan agrees will it be transferred to you. Understand?"

Hu Xiaoqiu was stunned, "Why can't you just give it to me all at once?"

She had already calculated in her mind that 1.5 million was more than enough to find a wife in the fishing village.

Wu Fan waved his hand, "No, this money is for your son to get married. You need to list the detailed expenses before you can claim it from Bai Yan."

He just hoped to leave the initiative to Bai Yan. This way, Hu Xiaoqiu should be more polite to Bai Yan, right?

Hu Xiaoqiu said helplessly, "So troublesome."

Wu Fan said, "Uncle and Auntie, let's never mention the 'exchange marriage' again. From now on, I will definitely take good care of Bai Yan, so you two can rest assured."

He made his stance clear on the spot.

When Bai Yan heard this, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she felt a sweet warmth in her heart.

Bai Hui bit her lip, feeling a strange sensation in her heart. Wu Fan was really good, so thoughtful towards her sister.

She was both envious and jealous.

Hu Xiaoqiu suddenly became polite, "Alright, we'll do as you say. Why don't you stay for a reunion dinner tonight before heading back?"

Wu Fan and Bai Yan exchanged glances, confirming with each other through their eyes.

Bai Hui got up and diligently poured tea for Wu Fan, not forgetting to steal a few glances.

Wu Fan didn't pay much attention, just glancing at her fair face.

Her features were delicate, somewhat resembling Bai Yan.

However, overall, Bai Yan was still more beautiful and elegant.

"Thank you."

Bai Hui smiled, pursing her lips, "You're too kind, Brother-in-law."

Wu Fan chuckled; this little sister certainly had a sweet tongue. The word 'Brother-in-law' sounded very pleasant.

Bai Ci had long been impatient, and seeing that things were settled, he went straight back to his room without even saying goodbye, probably to play games.

Dinner was quite elaborate.

There was braised small yellow croaker, blanched cuttlefish, cauliflower with shrimp and dried tofu, celery with eel shreds, crab paste, stir-fried bamboo shoots with eggs, salt and pepper mantis shrimp, fried tofu fish, and braised hairtail.

Hu Xiaoqiu said, "Wu Fan, don't be shy, eat more."

It was the first time she had shown such a polite attitude.

While cooking, she had been pondering in the kitchen.

Grandpa's illness must have been paid for by Wu Fan. Now, with another 1.5 million, it was clear he was a rich young master.

If she had a son-in-law like him, wouldn't she be set for life?

She was shrewder than anyone!

She immediately changed her demeanor, becoming enthusiastic.

Wu Fan said, "Thank you."

He was very calm, fully aware of Hu Xiaoqiu's sudden enthusiasm.

Relationships built on money, after all, never last.

Bai Jinkun opened a bottle of 53-proof sorghum liquor and filled Wu Fan's glass.

"Don't go back tonight. Sleep with Bai Ci. Don't mind it, okay?"

Wu Fan didn't like sleeping in the same bed as another man.

"Uncle, I still have work tonight and need to drive back. I'm really sorry."

He got up and placed the wine back in front of Bai Jinkun.

Bai Jinkun grunted, indicating understanding.

The dinner atmosphere was harmonious, with the family chatting and laughing.

Hu Xiaoqiu asked, "Wu Fan, what do you do for work?"

"Where is your hometown?"

Wu Fan thought for a moment and said, "I'm in investment."

Hu Xiaoqiu was a bit confused, "Invest in what?"

Wu Fan said, "For example, if I think Jiaotou Mountain here could be developed into a tourist attraction, I might invest money to build it."

Hu Xiaoqiu scratched her head, nodding as if she understood, yet not quite.

What was there to develop on Jiaotou Mountain? It was just some cliffs.

She uncharacteristically picked up a piece of cuttlefish for Bai Yan, "Eat more."

She was deliberately showing off for Wu Fan, making it seem like she was also very good to Bai Yan.

Bai Yan's eyes flickered, almost moved to tears.

Since she could remember, it was the first time she had felt the warmth of a family.

She knew in her heart that this was supported by Wu Fan's 1.5 million transfer.

In the days to come, this money would have to be taken out little by little; it absolutely couldn't be used up all at once.

After dinner, the two went to see Grandpa again before getting into the car together and driving to the foot of Jiaotou Mountain, a sparsely populated area.

"Wu Fan, are you really sleeping in the car tonight?"

"Yes, I'll put down the back seats and sleep there, with the air conditioning on. We'll make do for one night."

"I'm really looking forward to tomorrow morning's sunrise."

Bai Yan said, "Even though I grew up here, I've never seen a sunrise over the sea, can you believe it?"

Wu Fan replied, "Of course I believe it, that's very normal."

He patted Bai Yan's shoulder, "Come on, let's go to the back."

Bai Yan fidgeted a bit, "So early?"

"Let's get started early."

"Ah..."

Bai Yan actually became a little nervous.

Wu Fan wasn't vague at all... Bai Yan exclaimed, "Wu Fan..."

...The east was already showing a fish-belly white, and the sun was about to rise.

He gently nudged Bai Yan, "Xiao Yanyan, get ready for the sunrise."

Bai Yan hugged him tighter, "Wu Fan, I'm a bit tired."

"Be good, we can't miss the sunrise over the sea."

Bai Yan's voice was hoarse, "Mmm, okay."

The two got dressed, held hands, and walked to the halfway point of Jiaotou Mountain.

Here, facing directly east towards the sea, the view was expansive.

"In the future, a special viewing platform for the sunrise will be built here."

Bai Yan worshipped him, stood on tiptoe, and kissed Wu Fan's thin lips.

On the distant sea, a red semicircle gradually appeared.

Immediately after, the sun, like a cute little baby, slowly poked its head out.

It had no harsh light, soft and Nuo Nuo, utterly adorable.

When the entire sun jumped out of the sea, Bai Yan couldn't help but exclaim, "So beautiful, so magnificent."

In just a few minutes, the light gradually strengthened, instantly illuminating the entire sky.

Wu Fan put his arm around Bai Yan's slender waist and took out his phone, "Xiao Yanyan, look at the camera."

"Mmm, okay."

At the moment of the "click," Wu Fan's kiss landed on Bai Yan's cheek.

This was a very special photo together...
