Quick Wear: The Heirless Boss Wants to Get Close to Her Every Day

Chapter 380 Tall and Capable Hunter vs. Lucky Beauty (15)

With sword-like eyebrows, bright eyes, a high nose bridge, and strong features, this man is very handsome and grows on you the more you look at him.

When she stole a glance at Chu Yi, she was caught off guard by his deep eyes. Her cheeks flushed slightly, her eyes lit up, and she quickly put down the bamboo curtain and ran away.

As soon as I left, a system notification sounded in my mind.

[Congratulations, host! Your target, Chu Yi, has surpassed 60% favorability towards you!]
When Shen Shuyi heard 66's suggestion, she almost burst out laughing. This man had gained more favor just because he glanced at her?
She felt that the mission in this small world would be completed soon, but for some reason, she had a bad feeling about it.

As soon as Chu Yi and the matchmaker left the Shen family, everyone in Pear Blossom Village knew about Chu Yi's extravagant betrothal gifts, which left people speechless.

Those who were still gathered outside the Shen family's courtyard whispered among themselves. The family closest to the Shen family was the Liu family, and Aunt Liu's expression was a little off.

Her family had previously refused the matchmaker, which embarrassed Chu Yi, and declared that they would not marry their daughter to a hunter like him who relied on luck and lived on dirt. Now, upon hearing that Chu Yi was offering the Shen family twenty taels of silver as a betrothal gift, they felt very uncomfortable.

"He lives in a dilapidated mud house, and looks at his tattered clothes, does he look like someone who can afford twenty taels of silver?!"

"I'm telling you, you're just being a sour grapes. Oh, I never thought Shen Shuyi would have such good fortune. Not long ago, she was almost kidnapped by human traffickers."

"Tsk, even if you gave me fifty taels, I wouldn't want my daughter to marry that useless man Chu Yi. What's there to envy?"

"What's the point of getting married if you can't have children anyway?"

Standing behind Aunt Liu, Liu Axing suddenly went home and cried. When she saw her mother return, she complained, "Mother, if only you had agreed back then."

"If that's the case, Brother Chu would marry me, so how could it be Shen Shuyi, who has been married before, possibly get a chance!"

Putting everything else aside, Aunt Liu is now genuinely regretting her decision. She had previously refused the matchmaker's offer entirely because Chu Yi's family was too poor, too few people, and she was also in poor health. But now, twenty taels of silver!

These twenty taels are more than they could save up in several years without eating or drinking!
"Twenty taels! Chu Yi is really willing to spend that much!"

"Shen Shuyi is really lucky. She's already married and still gets so much dowry!"

"Ah Xing, don't worry, Mother has a way."

Aunt Liu hurriedly pulled her daughter out the door, while Shen Shuyi was having a private conversation with her mother.

Zhuang Mei sighed, "Chu Yi is a good man. He's doing this to give you face. You should dress up beautifully and get married tomorrow, and live a good life from now on."

"Mother, don't worry."

"Yi'er, your mother doesn't have much ability and can't really teach you anything. Anyway, from now on, you and your husband should talk openly about whatever you want to say, and not keep everything bottled up inside."

"Also, time will tell, so don't mention to him that you've been blessed by the Bodhisattva."

"Okay, I understand." Shen Shuyi nodded, and hearing her mother's voice trembling with tears, she quickly comforted her, "Mother, I want to get the Shushan and Shulan enlightenment done before their wedding."

"No problem, your father has already spoken with the teacher at the private school. Once you pay your tuition, you can go to school."

After arranging things at home, Shen Shuyi focused on making her wedding dress.

During this time, she suddenly heard the system say something bizarre.

[Host, Aunt Liu has taken her daughter to find Chu Yi!]
Shen Shuyi raised an eyebrow. "Is that so? 66, take me to see it."

When Aunt Liu arrived at Chu Yi's house with her daughter, she saw Chu Yi open the gate. The scene inside was quite different from when she last visited. Although it was still two mud houses, it was clearly renovated, neat and tidy, with no possibility of drafts or leaks. Even the yard was spotless.

Who would have thought that the poor boy everyone talked about would be so generous and have so much money that he gave twenty taels of silver to the Shen family as a betrothal gift!

Liu Axing stood behind her mother, blushing, secretly glancing at the man with the cold, stern face.

Chu Yi was having lunch. He showed no expression towards the uninvited guests, and simply asked, "What brings you here?"

Aunt Liu's gaze fell on the dining table. Oh my goodness, there's meat to eat!

Despite Chu Yi's cold expression, Aunt Liu's smile remained unchanged.

She came here with absolute certainty. Among the surrounding villages, her daughter was quite beautiful. Although she couldn't compare to Shen Shuyi next door, her Ah Xing was still a virgin!
This is nothing compared to withered flowers and fallen willows!

"Chu Yi is having lunch. Time really flies. My daughter Xing has grown up so much. We refused matchmakers back then because Xing was too young. Now that she's all grown up, I'm happy to see you two get married."

“We’re from the same village, we know each other well. You can go hunting in the mountains with peace of mind, and Ah Xing will take care of things at home.”

Chu Yi didn't rush to speak, waiting for her to finish speaking and make herself clear before calmly replying, "I'm already engaged to Miss Shen, and I'll invite you to our wedding banquet in September."

"Besides, what happened back then was just a misunderstanding. The matchmaker didn't get my consent when she approached you."

"These past few years you've been saying everywhere that I'm not good enough for your daughter, and I haven't explained myself to anyone, otherwise I'm afraid your daughter's reputation would suffer."

"But please don't mention it again, lest my future wife misunderstand."

He didn't say much more after that. He used to be too lazy to care, since he didn't have much contact with the villagers. But Miss Shen was a villager, and he couldn't let his wife be embarrassed for the sake of an outsider's face.

Upon hearing this, Liu Axing's face turned pale.

Would Chu Yi really like someone like Shen Shuyi? She's been married before and isn't a virgin; how can she compare to him?
Thinking about it again, she felt it was impossible. How could Chu Yi like another woman? It must be because of the slave trade; Shen Shuyi shamelessly made him take responsibility.
Aunt Liu's face turned ugly, and her tone changed.

"Chu Yi, I'm not trying to be mean, but my daughter A Xing is so old and still not married, but it's all related to you. My family is now willing to let A Xing marry you, you should be grateful."

Liu Axing quickly grabbed her mother, "Mother, don't say anymore, let's go."

Chu Yi glanced at them and said, "If your daughter doesn't want to get married, you can make a scene here. I will tell the villagers what happened back then."

She used to look down on him, but now that she sees the dowry he gave to the Shen family, she wants to marry him.

Even if he hadn't been engaged to Miss Shen, he still wouldn't have married the woman in front of him.

He admitted that he had his own selfish reasons for agreeing to marry Miss Shen. He admitted that he liked Miss Shen, otherwise he would not have married her even if she had done him a great favor.

After refusing the Liu family's offer, Chu Yi hurriedly ate his meal and went up the mountain. Before the wedding date, he wanted to hunt as many animals as possible to sell and make the banquet a grand affair. Miss Shen deserved a good one!

After witnessing this little incident, Shen Shuyi went back to preparing her dowry with her mother.

The Shen couple did their best to prepare a dressing table, mirror, and some daily necessities for their daughter's new house. They did not take the twenty yuan betrothal money given by Chu Yi, but gave it to their daughter so that she could use it as she pleased.

Zhuang Mei made quilts for her daughter with great care. Few families in the village could prepare such a large dowry, but now that they had the means, they wanted their daughter to have a better life.
