Chapter 111: Jiang Baige

“No way, I’ve already transferred it to my card.”

When Jiang Yubing heard this, her eyes rolled craftily.

“Oh? Is that so.”

When she spoke the last word, she deliberately prolonged her tone.

When she saw the idiot husband nod, she immediately said, “Then transfer it to me and let me keep it, how about that?”

“Uh…”

Shen Qingxuan looked both amused and helpless.

The money reached his hands only moments ago and was not even warm before she already wanted him to hand it over again.

Wasn’t this just messing with him?

Besides, he earned this money at the cost of risking bodily injuries; it was his hard-earned cash.

Shen Qingxuan recalled that unforgettable night and felt a sudden chill.

It was seven times in all!

Did anyone know how he survived that night?

The madness of that night made his legs tremble the next day.

Just thinking about it felt like a total loss.

If it happened again, he, Shen Qingxuan, would rather forgo the money.

“Wife, aren’t you bullying an honest man?”

Shen Qingxuan pulled a long face and looked pitifully at Jiang Yubing.

“Husband, be good, how am I bullying you?”

Jiang Yubing’s face brimmed with smiles.

Seeing the idiot husband look so wronged, she reached out indulgently and patted his head.

“I don’t have a choice either! This is Dad’s idea.”

“You know, I’ve been obedient since I was little.”

After saying that, Jiang Yubing tilted her head, putting on an innocent look.

Shen Qingxuan lamented inwardly, “Family, who will speak up for me?”

So-called obedience since childhood, my foot.

Could that excuse get any more perfunctory?

Seeing him point the phone at her without knowing what he intended to do, Jiang Yubing asked directly, “Husband, what are you doing?”

“This life is impossible; I’m going to expose you online.”

After hearing that, Jiang Yubing did not panic at all.

She raised an eyebrow, asking with interest, “What is the charge?”

Shen Qingxuan’s hand, which was about to record a video, froze at once.

Was now really the time to discuss charges?

Shouldn’t she lower her head and apologize to me?

You always did that before!

Jiang Yubing, you changed.

However, after thinking carefully, Bingbing seemed to have a point.

After all, even ancient wars required a righteous cause, right?

But what charge should he assign?

He could not just make up one at random.

After all, she was his very own wife.

Seeing his expression, Jiang Yubing could not help teasing him, “You really aren’t planning to pin a charge on me, are you?”

“Of course not.”

Shen Qingxuan hurriedly waved his hands, then explained earnestly, “I’m only saving the money to use as a future betrothal gift when I marry you.”

“Really?”

The teasing expression on Jiang Yubing’s face instantly turned into surprise.

She never expected it.

The idiot husband actually saved money in silence all along.

And all of this was only to marry her.

“Actually, I don’t care about a betrothal gift; as long as you marry me, it’s fine.”

Jiang Yubing spoke softly, and a hint of bashfulness crept into her voice.

“That won’t do.”

The expression on Shen Qingxuan’s face looked extremely resolute.

“Then how much do you plan to give me?”

Jiang Yubing asked with a smile.

She did not care at all about the amount.

What interested her was the value she held in the idiot husband’s heart.

Shen Qingxuan lowered his head and pondered for a moment.

The question felt thorny, almost like a life-or-death test.

If he quoted a high number, he would not be able to pay.

If he quoted too little, he feared Bingbing would be dissatisfied.

Suddenly, inspiration struck him, and he looked up at Jiang Yubing, saying, “Wife, how about we price it by the pound? How much per pound?”

“Fine, so you actually want to sell me like a pig!”

Jiang Yubing reached out, about to hit him.

But Shen Qingxuan dodged.

“No, wife, listen to my excuse…”

As soon as those words left his mouth, he immediately realized they were wrong, so he hurriedly corrected himself, “Bah… explanation.”

Jiang Yubing did not intend to waste more time on this topic.

Whether he gave a betrothal gift or not was fine with her.

“Husband, do you really think so?”

“Mm-hmm.”

Shen Qingxuan nodded vigorously.

Seeing the sincerity in his eyes, warmth rose in Jiang Yubing’s heart.

The idiot husband working hard to earn money to marry her looked truly handsome.

He was simply her Prince Charming.

“So, husband, is the money enough? If it’s not, I’ll transfer you some more.”

After saying that, Jiang Yubing immediately took out her phone and began to operate.

She entered an amount, and just as her finger was about to tap the transfer button, it stopped.

She thought carefully.

It seemed she still did not know how much was appropriate to transfer.

“Husband, see how much is still missing and transfer it yourself.”

Simply giving up, Jiang Yubing handed the phone directly to Shen Qingxuan.

She obviously shrugged the matter off and left the choice to Shen Qingxuan.

After all, they were one family, weren’t they?

The corner of Shen Qingxuan’s mouth twitched.

Use her own money to marry herself?

Could things even work like this?

How was this different from giving it away for nothing?

Hmm…

Seeing that Shen Qingxuan neither accepted the phone nor stopped grinning foolishly, Jiang Yubing could not help feeling suspicious.

Could everything he just said be a lie?

Impossible.

She denied it silently in her heart.

The idiot husband could not have that many tricks up his sleeve.

Still, she could not be sure; he might have learned bad habits from others.

If that was the case, she would blow up.

Hmm…

Forget it; she decided not to explode.

After all, he was her own idiot husband.

At worst, she would punish him by not sleeping with him for a month.

Jiang Yubing thought it over carefully.

A month felt too long; one day would do.

While she was secretly mulling it over, Shen Qingxuan failed to hold back and blurted out, “Jiang Baige…” (The source of this meme is various novels, especially romance novels, in which female protagonists with the surname Jiang often give themselves to male protagonists for free, such as Jiang He in “My Wife Came from a Thousand Years Ago”, Jiang Qing’e in “King of All Faces”, Jiang Qiu in “My Girlfriend is a UP Master”, and so on. The key is that these books all performed well, so there is the saying that “Jiang’s family gives away everything for free”, also known as Jiang Baige.)

The moment the words left his mouth, he sensed danger and hurriedly covered his mouth with his hand.

Then he looked at Jiang Yubing in terror.

“All right, you’re finished.”

Jiang Yubing placed both hands on her hips in anger.

“You actually dared to call me Jiang Baige.”

Seeing the situation turn bad, Shen Qingxuan quickly ran forward.

“You even dare to run? Don’t let me catch you!”

After putting the money into her bag, Jiang Yubing hurried after him.

……

Chaoyang Temple.

It ranked among the ten most famous temples in Jiangbei.

Inside, it enshrined the God of Wealth, who governed fortune, and the kindly Child-Giving Guanyin…

The temple lay surrounded by lush mountain forest, and from afar it looked both solemn and mysterious.

At the foot of the mountain.

At that moment, the two walked up the mountain hand in hand at a leisurely pace.

Just moments earlier, they had gone through a discussion.

In the end, Jiang Yubing made the final decision.

The betrothal gift only needed to be ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine.

In her own words, “That way the meaning is good—lasting and enduring.”

At the same time, she even counted the ten-thousand-yuan red envelope Lin Yun gave her toward the betrothal gift.

Shen Qingxuan calculated silently in his heart.

Even with the money he earned earlier, he still fell forty thousand short of the target.

He still needed to work hard!

He had to gather the betrothal gift quickly and marry Bingbing home with pomp.

While Shen Qingxuan silently pondered how to earn money, they unknowingly reached the summit.

The summit offered an especially broad view.

A light breeze swept by, bringing a hint of coolness.

It instantly eased the fatigue in their bodies.

Shen Qingxuan knew this place well.

The Child-Giving Guanyin stood on the west side, while the main hall enshrined the God of Wealth.

He often came here to play when he was a child.

At that time, hardly anyone cared.

But now, that was obviously impossible.

“Let’s go, wife.”

Shen Qingxuan led Jiang Yubing toward the west side.

Compared with the long queue at the main hall, the west side felt much quieter.

Before they even reached the entrance, they heard someone praying inside.

That voice sounded somewhat familiar.

When they got to the doorway and saw the back of the person praying, they paused.

The two met each other’s eyes and saw surprise in them.

Wasn’t that Weiwei?

Why was she here?
