Chapter 485 My Wife is Really Awesome

"The idea of ​​a foundation is great, but... how can I manage it? That's ridiculous."

As expected, Xu Yiru, who is very self-aware, had the first reaction of refusing.

"I know nothing about this field and have only learned some superficial knowledge."

"Is Abigail Rockefeller an expert in cultural relics and art? Is Anson Goodyear an expert? How come they can build MoMA from scratch?" Han Yi asked patiently, "What do they rely on?"

"I know what you want to say." How could the smart and perceptive Xiaoru not understand the hidden meaning in Han Yi's words? "But they are the two richest families in the United States in the last century, or even the century before last. I..."

"You have me." Han Yi's eyes were bright, and his tone was filled with irrefutable strong confidence.

"Are we really going to compete with Rockefeller?"

Xu Yiru lowered her eyes and gazed at the Bodhi seed on Han Yi's wrist. Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and her shallow dimples contained a touch of touch that was difficult to conceal.

She had resisted such a situation so much, and she had tried her best to carve out a path of her own just to avoid such a situation.

She did not want to be the ballerina described by Degas, did not want to be constantly watched because of her beauty, did not want to be a so-called "trophy wife", placed alongside luxury goods and art installations in the lives of the rich and powerful, transformed into a living decoration that highlights their class status.

Therefore, if anyone else told her what Han Yi had just said, it would arouse her disgust, rebellion and resistance.

But...who said this person is Han Yi?

The words "You have me" coming out of his mouth were not greasy, ridiculous or overbearing. Instead, they made her feel warm and healed, as if her whole body and soul were tightly wrapped in love and trust.

Xu Yiru knew very well why she felt this way - her feelings for Han Yi sprouted before she discovered the latter's true family situation.

In other words, what Xiaoru likes is the most authentic him without the outer shell of wealth. This liking does not carry any materialistic filters.

This enables Xiaoru to always maintain a unique psychological advantage when facing newcomers such as Yuzhen, Madison and Barbara. It is also the best way for her to comfort herself when facing this kind of life that would have made her feel afraid and retreat.

As a result, Xiaoru's anxiety and uneasiness were dissolved and eliminated, and she regained her peace of mind. She saw the trust, expectations, and other more complex and profound things behind the proposal Han Yi made to her.

"We certainly can't compare with Rockefeller now, but when it comes to doing good things, doing meaningful things for society, the country, and the civilization we belong to, there's no need to compare with others, right?" Han Yi's voice was very light, but very attractive, making Xu Yiru concentrate and listen attentively. "We can't stop contributing just because we're not as strong as others, right? A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. None of the Chinese cultural relics that have been lost overseas are worthless, and none of them are redundant. Buying one more is like doing one more great deed with immeasurable merit."

"I agree with your point of view. I understand that a pile of sand can make a tower and a pile of water can make an abyss."

Xiaoru scratched Han Yi's nose affectionately, her voice equally gentle.

"Yi Yi, I support you 100% and unreservedly in setting up this foundation. Just like you said, if it can be run, it will definitely be a great thing with immeasurable merits. But you shouldn't hand it over to me just because you feel sorry for me. Doing so... is very childish."

"Pity you?" Han Yi seemed very surprised, and his voice became louder. "Why do you think so?"

"I'm sorry. Maybe my wording is wrong. Maybe I shouldn't use the word 'pitiful'... but I really don't know which other adjective is more suitable." Xiaoru lowered her eyes again, and her breathing became a little faster. "I played truth or dare with them in Las Vegas. I believe you should have listened to the whole game from beginning to end. The three of them... including Barbara, whom I had never met before, all knew what I cared about the most and what I cared about the most."

"Yes, the three of them are amazing. Barbara is a supermodel, Madison is a big star, and Yuzhen only took a few months to make a name for herself in the music industry as a manager... Yes, I am still just an ordinary college student. Even if I work hard, it will take at least two or three years to complete college and graduate school. I also know that by that time, they, and you, will be far ahead of me. And I have just started."

"Do you think I care about this kind of thing, Xiaoru?" Han Yi hugged her tightly and comforted her softly, "Everyone's pace is different. To put it bluntly, we are not competing on the same track. How can there be a start or a stop, a lead or a stop?" "I know you don't care, but I am still... quite anxious." At this point, Xiaoru wiped her dry eyes and smiled with a look of ease, "Yiyi, you are a very good boy. I think you are the best in both being a person and doing things. Therefore, your partner, or your life partner, should also be the most outstanding and powerful person. If I... want to continue to like you, I can't be left behind by you too much. I have to work hard."

"Then let's work hard together." Han Yi quickly replied, "Life or career, it's not a game, there is no progress bar. When two people are together, as long as they are harmonious and compatible, they are in sync, right?"

"That's the truth." Xiaoru continued to wipe the corners of her eyes, not knowing what she was wiping. "But the truth is the truth, and the reality is the reality. You like me now because I'm beautiful, because I've been with you for two years, because you're used to my existence, because our values ​​are very similar, and because we both grew up in families with similar atmospheres... Maybe now in your eyes, I have enough advantages and they are shining enough, but over time, they will all be worn away."

"I……"

"Okay, don't say that your feelings for me won't change. Everyone's feelings will change, mine will change, and yours will change too." Xiaoru stopped Han Yi from defending himself, "Everyone needs to constantly improve their own value, prove their own value, and show their value to their partner. This is the only way to stay attractive. You see, you're doing very well, Yiyi. Every day you give me different surprises, showing your evolving strengths and values... Today was the same. When you were giving a speech on the stage today, I was looking at you with starry eyes from the audience, watching, listening, and thinking: 'Wow, the person I like is really amazing'."

"I hope that one day, I can stand on a different stage like you, and you can also look at me with starry eyes from a different stage, watching, listening, and thinking..."

"'My wife is amazing.'"

"Huh?" Xiaoru pricked up her ears. "What did you say?"

“My wife is amazing.”

"It was too quiet to hear clearly."

"My wife is amazing! My wife is amazing! My wife is amazing!" Han Yi fixed Xu Yiru's head, making it impossible for her to escape easily, and then put his mouth close to her ear, controlling the volume, using a volume that was loud enough but would not cause tinnitus, and shouted three times in a row, making Xiaoru giggle. Her originally slightly frowned brows now stretched out like a lotus just blooming in a traditional Chinese painting.

"Who is your wife, you are so smooth-talking." Although she said disdainfully, Xiaoru had already burrowed into Han Yi's arms and stuck to him tightly. Burying in his chest, her voice became muffled again, "But, if I really want you to think I'm awesome, I have to make some achievements myself, instead of looking glamorous while actually arranging every step by you. In that case, outsiders will think I'm awesome, but you who are by my side and can see everything clearly, won't think so."

"The foundation is a cooperation proposal I made to you, not an arrangement of your life trajectory, Xiaoru. This is a very important distinction, don't make the mistake."

"I have too many projects going on at the same time, and I can't spare any more energy to take care of other things. So, if I really want to set up this cultural relics foundation, I must find someone I can really trust to help me look after the stall... I don't have to do everything myself, and I can ask others to do a lot of trivial details, but it won't work without someone I can fully trust to take charge of the overall situation."

After a pause, Han Yi threw out his trump card.

"Besides... in my current social circle, I think you are the only one who understands why I want to do this, Xiaoru."

"You are the only one who is exactly the same as me in this respect. Therefore, you are the only one who can fully understand my thoughts."

"That……"

Sure enough, after hearing these words, the unreachable and indestructible dam in Xu Yiru's heart suddenly had a crack that spread rapidly from bottom to top.

"Then I'll think about it again and see if there's anything I can do to help you."

Freed from Han Yi's arms, Xu Yiru turned around again, put her hands on the jewelry cabinet, her eyes bright and excited.

"Which dynasties did the other two artifacts belong to? Can you explain them to me in detail, Yiyi?"
