Chapter 907: Spending Money on My Own Wife, How Can That Be Called Reckless Spending

Duan Ruirui went down and saw Xiao Wanpeng standing there holding a bag.

Seeing her approach, he said, "Ruirui, the New Year is almost here. I bought you a cashmere sweater. See if you like it."

As he spoke, he tried to open the bag, but Duan Ruirui stopped him: "Keep the things with you for now. After all, we aren't married yet, and it's not proper for me to always accept your gifts."

Hearing this, Xiao Wanpeng was somewhat startled: "Ruirui, are you still angry?"

He knew that if anyone else were in this position, with the wedding date arrived only to be told the ceremony was temporarily cancelled, no one could be happy; these past few days, whenever he came to see Ruirui, her smile was gone, and he didn't feel right either.

But Third Brother didn't mean it; when the summons came from the capital, the letter he had written to Third Brother had only been sent a few days ago, so Third Brother probably hadn't received it yet. But the date was already set, and most importantly, Third Sister-in-law was pregnant, so they had to endure this couple's grievance.

As for why the wedding date was pushed to the second half of the year, naturally the family still needed to gather some ration coupons for a while; the wedding supplies prepared for them earlier had also been temporarily taken to Third Brother. This matter made him depressed too, but what could he do?

He and Third Brother were twins; back when the family needed someone to go down to the countryside, Third Brother stepped forward resolutely. How could he be so selfish as to ignore it?

Duan Ruirui shook her head gently: "No, Third Brother and Third Sister-in-law didn't mean it. It's just that people have been talking a lot, and it's a bit annoying."

Xiao Wanpeng's heart ached: "How about I go with you and explain the situation?"

Duan Ruirui waved her hand: "No need. It will pass in a few days."

Seeing no one around, Xiao Wanpeng reached out and held Duan Ruirui's hand: "Ruirui, you've suffered. In the future, I will treat you twice as well."

Duan Ruirui held no grudge against Xiao Wanpeng; after all, these past few days he had come over whenever he had time, and never empty-handed, and she knew it wasn't his wish: "Then I'll remember that. If you don't treat me well in the future, I'll definitely bring up old scores."

Seeing the smile return to her face, Xiao Wanpeng finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Take the thing and try it on to see if it fits. If it doesn't, I'll take it to exchange it."

Duan Ruirui took the cashmere sweater out of the cloth bag and held it up against herself: "No need to exchange. This color is very festive. I like it very much."

Xiao Wanpeng saw her face turn red: "I liked this color at first glance, thinking you would look beautiful wearing it."

After all, she was still a young girl; seeing that Xiao Wanpeng had been trying every way these past few days to make her happy, she softened: "Alright, I'm not angry anymore. Don't spend money recklessly in the future."

Xiao Wanpeng smiled like a fool: "How can buying things for my own wife be called reckless spending? I earn money just to spend on you. If you're happy, the money is well spent."

Liu Chuxue finished handling the matters at hand, saw that the time was about right, said a word to the section chief, and went downstairs.

Seeing her come down, Duan Ruirui knew the siblings had something to say: "You two talk. I've been out for quite a while. If I don't go back soon, people will find fault."

Having finished speaking, she picked up the things and ran away.

Xiao Wanpeng watched until the person turned the corner, then withdrew his gaze: "Liu Chuxue, you and Ruirui have a good relationship. Remember to help me say some good words."

Hearing this, Liu Chuxue teased: "Fourth Brother, what are you anxious about? Are you afraid Ruirui will run away?"

Xiao Wanpeng rolled his eyes at her: "She has indeed suffered. Third Brother's call came urgently. When my parents left, they took everything from the family preparations that could be packed. I didn't even dare to take Ruirui to my home, afraid she would feel bad."
