C12 Show Your Love from Here Onwards

The first sentence momentarily soothed Qin Huan's irritation, but the following remark, "Ducks aren't as pricey as you!", turned his expression pitch-black.

Inwardly, Zhan Yi offered a silent vigil for Tang Xinran, yet he couldn't suppress his laughter any longer. "Little First Party, how much did you shell out to keep our Second Party?"

Caught off guard, Tang Xinran glanced at Qin Huan's grim face and it dawned on her. Qin Huan had a penchant for cleanliness today and refused to take cash. She had deposited the money but had forgotten to write him a check.

She hastily rummaged through her bag and handed Qin Huan a check for ten million.

Whispering an apology, she said, "I'm sorry, I meant to give this to you right after we got the certificate! I got caught up in shopping and wrapping you up as a present, and it slipped my mind!"

Wait—something seemed off.

She was the one paying, so why was she tiptoeing around the Second Party?

Ah! It must be the intellectual's quick learning curve, adopting the aura of the wealthy a bit too convincingly!

Zhan Yi craned his neck to peek, smirking, "Tsk tsk, Second Party, you're quite the bargain..."

Tang Xinran blushed, "Ten million is hardly cheap! To a Rich Young Master like Young Master Zhan, it might be a trifle, but for our Huan Huan, it's a decade's earnings. Your wealth is yours alone. Intellectuals don't live off charity. If you won't accept it, then it's his rightful compensation for his services..."

"Tsk tsk, it's 'our Huan Huan' already!"

With the marriage contract signed and the certificate in hand, Tang Xinran felt emboldened. "According to the second clause of our contract, I can demand public displays of affection. Young Master Zhan, since you're not a stranger, our lovey-dovey act starts with you!"

She then turned to Qin Huan with a bashful gaze, "Huan Huan, as husband and wife, surely I've just spoken your heart's desire, haven't I?"

Qin Huan's expression froze, but after a moment, a smile crept across his face. "Money isn't the crux; what matters is your understanding of me."

Tang Xinran was taken aback; the man's smile was disarmingly handsome!

"Oh... aren't you the one who doesn't like eating meat from outside? Let's head home, and I'll cook some meat for you!"

Zhan Yi's smile took on a suggestive edge. "Could it be that Little First Party has been seduced by my brother's good looks and is now considering herself the meat?"

"Tsk! That's between my spouse and me; it's none of your business! Huan Huan, let's head home..." Having grown accustomed to Zhan Yi, Tang Xinran had shed her inhibitions!

Getting home to focus on training was the priority!

Before leaving, Qin Huan handed Zhan Yi a check. "This is for the school to upgrade its experimental equipment!"

True to form, he was an intellectual who regarded money as mere dirt, investing a substantial sum in educational equipment without a second thought!

...

Tang Xinran ushered Qin Huan into his sports car and sped all the way to their three-bedroom apartment at River Listening Garden.

He neatly arranged the new clothes and items he had purchased for Qin Huan in one of the bedrooms. "From now on, this will be your room. Given that you're a scholar, you'll have access to the study as well. This week is critical, so I hope you can take some time off from school to concentrate solely on training!"

Surveying the clean and tidy home, Qin Huan remarked, "You expect a First Rich Man to live in a three-bedroom place? Who would believe that?"

Tang Xinran's cheeks flushed. "Right now, this is what I can afford. I'm saving my remaining funds for a crucial moment when I'll need to craft a Highlight for you..."

"I've thought it through thoroughly. Temporarily residing here won't hinder our plans. In the narrative I've crafted, you, the C Country First Rich Man, LEO, have always kept a low profile in the capital. But on the rare occasions you visit River City, you encounter me—beautiful and exceptionally kind—and it's love at first sight for both of us."
