The betrothal gift is 100,000 yuan, what does it mean to give 200,000

During the three days of the exam, the sun shone exceptionally brightly, and the sky was so clear and blue that there wasn't a single cloud, as if it were a sign of victory in the exam.

Because of the sunny weather, the temperature has been rising these past few days, and standing under the bright sun for a long time can easily cause dizziness.

Countless pedestrians walked by on the street, and the elegant ladies who loved beauty all held up parasols or wrapped themselves up tightly, for fear of being scorched by the sun on their delicate skin.

Chen Yuan had been putting in a lot of effort for her exam these past few days, fully demonstrating the responsibilities of a boyfriend. After each exam, he would give Jiang Ning a big hug and then pick her up from school. On the way home, he would constantly reassure her that she must have done well and that she could keep up the good work for tomorrow. Encouraged by him, Ning Ning was full of energy.

After returning from Lanjing University, Jiang Ning's exams came right away. Chen Yuan hadn't had much rest these past two days. He planned to take Jiang Ning out for a good trip after he finished the exams. It would be nice if they went hiking or had a candlelight dinner to celebrate.

Finally, the last day arrived—the day of the interview.

Chen Yuan found a quiet spot, parked his car, and waited. Looking at his watch, it was already 11:45 a.m., fifteen minutes had passed since the interview ended.

"Why aren't you coming out yet..." he was thinking.

On the wide and long steps, beneath the magnificent building, the sunlight scorched the gray-white stone steps. Just as he looked up, people started to walk out.

The figure was stretched at an angle on the stairs.

After looking around for a while, Chen Yuan finally spotted the most beautiful girl in the crowd. He couldn't wait to get out of the car, take off his sunglasses and hold them in his hand.

"This way." Chen Yuan waved.

Jiang Ning raised her face, and the moment she saw Chen Yuan, a bright smile appeared on her face.

Her smile, with her lips pursed, wasn't radiant, but it made her appear so gentle.

As gentle as a breeze.

"It's over!"

Jiang Ning leaped down the stairs in a few steps and walked towards him. Chen Yuan greeted her with a big bear hug, lifting her up by the waist and spinning her around in the air. Her white dress spun around.

The handsome man and beautiful woman created a beautiful scene that drew envious glances from those who were also there for the interview.

Jiang Ning blushed and quickly patted Chen Yuan's shoulder.

"Put me down," she whispered.

"Honey, you finally finished your exam! You got first place, that's amazing!" Chen Yuan didn't hold back his praise.

"If I'm already in first place before the results are even out, wouldn't people laugh at me?"

"It doesn't matter whether you get first place or not, you already are in my heart."

Having witnessed Jiang Ning's hard work these past few days, he sincerely believes that Jiang Ning deserves it. She studies for more than eight hours every day. If she can't pass the exam, then who can?
It should be noted that Jiang Ning's scores were among the best in the preliminary test.

Looking at Chen Yuan's proud face, Jiang Ning couldn't help but be infected by his emotions.

"Such a sweet tongue, no wonder he's my husband." She was pleased by his words, wrinkled her nose, and whispered in his ear.

"Come on, let's go home."

Completing this exam felt like a huge weight had been lifted from my heart.

On the way back, even the wind felt sweet.

The two chatted and laughed in the car, talking about how she could help Chen Yuan with his work after getting her degree, and expressing their wonderful hopes and dreams for the future.

Even more surprisingly, when relaxing music was played in the car, Jiang Ning hummed along for a few lines.

She rarely shows such a lively side, which shows how happy she is.

"I wish you could laugh like this every day."

As Chen Yuan was driving, he turned his head and was stunned by Jiang Ning's sweet smile. He had been dating for so long, and he had never seen Ning Ning so happy.

"What's wrong?" She tilted her head.

"No, it's just that I don't see you smile like that very often."

"I'm really happy. I feel particularly clear-headed and have a sense of satisfaction that's hard to describe in words. I can only say that I'm very happy right now..." She paused and continued, "And you've been with me these past two days, which has given me a lot of motivation. I've been waiting outside the exam hall for hours at a time, and your company has made me feel very happy. This is a feeling I've never had before."

As Jiang Ning spoke, she adorably waved her arms and whispered, "Full of power."

How did you take your exams in the past?

"What else can I do? I'll just study on my own and then go home and wait for the results."

"That's a very unfortunate fate."

"Now that I have you, things are different."

As Jiang Ning spoke, she glanced at him, and then she saw Chen Yuan grinning foolishly, as if he had received a great compliment.

He's like a silly little dog who smiles like an idiot when his wife praises him...

So cute.

she thought to herself.

What she didn't tell Chen Yuan was that it was only after becoming lovers with him that she truly understood what happiness, being loved, and having someone to rely on felt like.

If she had to choose again, Jiang Ning felt she would fall in love with him a hundred times, a thousand times.

"We need to tell Yao Yao the good news when we get back, but there's a time difference, so we need to choose a time when she's awake."

“Oh right, Yao Yao went on a trip three or four days ago. She told me yesterday that she just left Paris and seems to be having a lot of fun.”

“Well, there’s actually something else I wanted to discuss with you,” Chen Yuan suddenly remembered and asked, “Now that most of the major issues have been resolved, shouldn’t we hold an engagement banquet and start once Jiang Yao returns?”

After Chen Yuan finished speaking.

She suddenly remembered.

The three of them had discussed this before, but due to various matters, it had been temporarily shelved. Now, this idea should be brought up again. According to the customs of Chen Yuan's family, the engagement banquet should invite the closest relatives and friends. The ceremony is not complicated; the key is to discuss all the details and have the two families finalize the wedding date.

Once the engagement party is over, the formal wedding banquet will be held within a few months at most.

Jiang Ning fell into thought.

Getting married at nineteen... Chen Yuan's situation is quite rare.

"Why aren't you saying anything?" Chen Yuan asked as he drove.

"I'm thinking about it, and I also want to ask you... are you really ready to get married?"

"I've been ready for a long time and have been waiting for your answer."

To Jiang Ning's surprise, he answered in this way.

……

In life, one will always face countless choices.

Some choices can determine one's future destiny, while others cannot... And often, in the darkness, the person involved can feel a sudden sense of solemnity and sacredness descending upon them. Whenever this feeling comes, one has reached a crossroads in their destiny.

When thinking about marriage, Jiang Ning was enveloped by this sense of the seriousness of fate more than once.

She couldn't explain it. She always felt that even that one step away felt like an abyss away.

Even though she really loved Chen Yuan.

……

night
A romantic and cozy candlelight dinner.

The entire garden restaurant is tranquil and beautiful. From the large floor-to-ceiling windows, you can overlook the entire city of Mingzhu. The light and shadow outside the window are the veins of the entire city, hidden among the sturdy high-rise buildings.

The night view was breathtakingly beautiful, and the dazzling lights showcased the city's unparalleled prosperity.

Two glasses of red wine, a candlelight.

Only the couple had a secluded corner.

Chen Yuan and Jiang Ning celebrated after a long time.

The last time the two of them drank together and chatted casually, just as warmly as they are now, was back when Jiang Ning had just fallen for Chen Yuan and the two of them had dinner together in Lanjing.

Jiang Ning was wearing a very beautiful dress and a coat at the time. She took off her coat after drinking a few glasses of wine.

At the time, Chen Yuan, who was still a baby, was completely shocked.

"What were you feeling at that time?" Jiang Ning covered her mouth to suppress her laughter, her bright, beautiful eyes sparkling.

Actually, she had already drunk quite a bit of red wine, so she looked particularly alluring.

Not only were her cheeks red, but her neck also looked pink.

"I was stunned. I was completely captivated by your charm. I've never experienced anything like this before... I've seen very few beautiful girls since I was a student. Ningning, you've transcended the level of just pretty; you've reached the level of goddess-like beauty. Do you know how much of a shock you caused to my young mind?"

Jiang Ning couldn't hold back any longer, and a smile bloomed on her face.

"I will never tell you what I was thinking before that."

"What did you think?"

"Go ahead and ask, I definitely won't tell you, it's just so funny... I don't know why I was so stupid to come up with a way to test you, it's so embarrassing to think about it."

"You're deliberately keeping me in suspense by only saying half of what you meant."

"Hey, didn't you say you know me well? You can guess what I'm thinking, but let's rule out the possibility that I'm trying to seduce you before you guess," Jiang Ning said deliberately.

"I'm not going to guess. Only kids make guesses."

"Guess...guess."

Whether it was being unreasonable or not, Jiang Ning actually pushed his arm, and her voice trailed off, unusually acting coquettish.

Listening to what she said and watching her actions, Chen Yuan was stunned for a long time before he could react.

unbelievable.

He had completely forgotten that Jiang Ning would act coquettishly when she was drunk.

I'm so charmed...

After a few moments of swaying, Jiang Ning suddenly realized what she was doing, and she sobered up considerably in an instant.

"What was I doing just now?" She bit her lip, completely bewildered.

"I don't know." Chen Yuan rested his chin on his hand and looked at her.

"Maybe I drank a little too much."

"We've only had a few drinks, haven't we?"

“That’s true,” Jiang Ning said, feeling a little better after her daze. She continued, “Actually, although this exam was tough, I didn’t feel too much pressure. On the contrary, I felt very fulfilled every day and my study state was particularly good. What used to take an hour can now be completed in 45 minutes.”

"Could it be that you've improved?"

"No, it was you who made the difference."

"What role do I play?"

"Come here, I'll tell you a secret."

Jiang Ning beckoned Chen Yuan, who was sitting opposite her, to come closer.

However, after Chen Yuan leaned closer in with a puzzled look, Jiang Ning still felt it wasn't close enough, so she simply sat down next to him and whispered something in his ear.

Chen Yuan blushed deeply at Chen Yuan's bluntness.

Because the content was too explicit.

But it is also based on solid scientific evidence.

"Really?" Chen Yuan asked doubtfully.

"I'm not kidding, it really works every night to relieve my stress. The first few times were fine, but the more I did it, the more I felt like I was flying on clouds, floating around~"

Smack...

Suddenly, Jiang Ning kissed him on the cheek.

"feels good."

Chen Yuan turned his head and looked at Jiang Ning, whose cheeks were flushed and whose lips smelled of sweet wine. She was too beautiful, and her eyes had a captivating intoxication.

"Marry me, Jiang Ning." He gently cupped Ning Ning's cheeks and said earnestly.

“Next year, okay… I’ve thought about it seriously. I was going to tell you tomorrow… Aren’t we very happy now? It’s already May, so to be honest, it’s only been six months,” she said softly. “You’ve already got everything you wanted, even me.”

She looked directly into Chen Yuan's eyes, touched his face, and said, "Let's go home. I miss you."

I couldn't bear to spoil this fluttering feeling.

Chen Yuan didn't get an answer, but he didn't say anything. He just suppressed his loneliness and comforted himself.

We've already waited so long, what good will waiting until next year do...?

"Okay, go home."

He hugged Jiang Ning.

……

It was an absolutely enchanting night.

Drunk, Jiang Ning took the initiative to kiss him, drawing a heart on his chest with her slender fingers, looking down at her lover with a sense of superiority.
