Chapter 60 -60 Too scheming, what to do?_1

“…” This time, An Jing responded quickly, but fell silent for a moment before saying, “I had just said that I don’t need any time to adjust.”

“Oh.” He paused and then chuckled softly, “Even better.”

Even better?

What’s even better?

An Jing was initially stunned, then realized what he meant, and she laughed.

What should she do with a husband so cunning?

…

After the bustle caused by Mrs. Xiao Chen, the news that Xiao Changyi hadn’t made a fortune spread quickly throughout Jiuping Village. Then, those girls who had thought Xiao Changyi was wealthy and had set their sights on him immediately withdrew their attention, no longer deliberately appearing before him to greet him and make their presence felt.

What’s the use of being handsome if it can’t be eaten? Money is the real deal! That was the heartfelt sentiment of those girls.

Because An Jing had mentioned raising fish in the paddy field, Xiao Changyi went to town again the next day.

By the time Xiao Changyi returned from town, he had not only bought twenty pounds of fish fry but also ten pounds of polished rice.

Seeing the polished rice, An Jing was taken aback for a moment, then she looked at Xiao Changyi meaningfully and smiled. It was clear he had bought it for her.

Watched by An Jing’s smiling gaze, Xiao Changyi was not uncomfortable but took out something from his chest again and handed it to An Jing.

This time, it wasn’t a paper-wrapped preserved fruit but several sheets of paper.

An Jing took them and saw four pieces of paper. The first was her servitude contract, the second was proof that her name was now An Jing, the third was a household registration with An Jing as the head of the household, and the fourth was the marriage certificate between her and Xiao Changyi, and each had the government’s bright red official seal stamped onto it.

Not only had her husband changed her surname for her, allowing her to take the surname An and the name Jing, but he had also registered her in a separate household and, even on the marriage certificate, it was clearly written that Xiao Changyi would be the one marrying into her family…

“You…” An Jing raised her head, her pupils trembling slightly, staring at Xiao Changyi. Her thoughts were so complex she didn’t know what to say.

Xiao Changyi didn’t speak; he just gently stroked her head.

An Jing kept staring at him and muttered softly, “Xiao Changyi, you will be laughed at…” Here, men who married into a woman’s family were mocked, their status even lower than that of women.

“I don’t care.”

An Jing felt a sudden warmth in her eyes, almost wanting to cry. She wasn’t a fragile person and the number of times she had cried was few, but now, she really felt like crying, touched, sweetly moved, and shocked. In the end, she didn’t cry but smiled instead.

She looked at him, her smile growing brighter, “Xiao Changyi, congratulations, your scheme has succeeded. I’ve completely fallen for it and can’t pull myself out.”

Xiao Changyi’s cool lips curved slightly, although the smile was not big, it was genuinely there.

An Jing didn’t ask Xiao Changyi how he had managed so easily to get these documents from the government; she simply handed the four papers back to him, “I’ve seen them already, you keep them safe.”

“Mhm.” Xiao Changyi folded the papers neatly and naturally tucked them back into his chest.

Seeing Xiao Changyi put everything away, An Jing raised an eyebrow and teased with a smile, “Xiao Changyi, technically, since you saved me, I should offer myself to repay you. How come you are the one offering yourself to me instead?”

“It’s my wish.”

“Would you do the same for someone else?” An Jing raised an eyebrow, deliberately challenging him. Even though it was deliberate, her heart was in her throat, fearing he wouldn’t answer as she hoped.

Xiao Changyi shook his head, “It’s because it’s you that I’m willing.”

An Jing’s heart instantly filled with sweetness.
