Chapter 216: How Can I Not Love Her!

Tang Ye and Du Xi went to the furniture mall together to pick out furniture.

They looked just like a sweet and loving young couple.

Every time they walked into a shop, they would instantly attract the enthusiastic reception of the sales staff, who would crowd around to passionately introduce various furniture products.

When picking out furniture, Du Xi's gaze mostly fell on mid-range items.

Tang Ye was somewhat surprised; although Du Xi had grown up in a well-off family, she was very focused on cost-effectiveness when it came to shopping and liked to be frugal.

Secretary Du and Xiao Qin certainly had a way when it came to their children's upbringing.

When choosing a bed, Tang Ye chose a bed worth 20,000 yuan without hesitation.

This action made Du Xi quite surprised.

However, seeing that Tang Ye's attitude was firm, Du Xi did not argue with him.

After the two left the shop, Du Xi whispered a complaint: "Isn't it a bit too extravagant to spend 20,000 yuan on a bed?"

Tang Ye smiled and explained patiently: "A person spends about half of their life in bed, so you have to buy a better one.

Besides, those slightly inferior beds are fine when you first buy them, but after a while, they creak incessantly whenever you turn over.

By then, not only will you not rest well, but it might also affect the person beside you, and could even affect the neighbors downstairs.

Once sleep quality is affected, life will have no peace either.

So, whether it's for yourself or for the person you will live with in the future, you can't save money on buying a bed."

Du Xi was stunned for a moment before she realized the deeper meaning in Tang Ye's words; her cheeks turned red, and she glared at Tang Ye coquettishly: "What are you thinking about in that head of yours? Aren't you ashamed?"

Tang Ye looked serious and said: "I am planning our future; we can't bury hidden dangers for our beautiful and happy life ahead just because of short-sightedness."

Du Xi held Tang Ye's arm tightly, leaned her head gently on his shoulder, and said softly: "What you say makes sense, I'll listen to you. But spending money like this still feels a bit wasteful."

Tang Ye smiled and comforted her: "It's fine, my mom has money. A son only gets married once in his life, so as a mother, she must give it her all."

Du Xi rolled her eyes at Tang Ye and said: "How can you have such thoughts?"

Tang Ye changed the subject and mocked himself: "That's why we must have a daughter in the future; sons are usually ungrateful wretches."

Du Xi rolled her eyes at Tang Ye again.

She took a bank card out of her bag and gently tucked it into Tang Ye's pocket.

Tang Ye looked confused and asked: "What is the meaning of this?"

Du Xi looked serious and explained: "My mom asked me to give this to you. My parents took out all their savings. They said that the costs for our new home's renovation and furniture should be covered by our family. The remaining money can even buy a car."

Tang Ye hurriedly declined, trying to return the card: "How can that be? How could I let your family spend so much money?"

Du Xi insisted, looking at Tang Ye with sincere eyes: "Tang Ye, I have even given my whole heart to you, what is a bank card compared to that?"

Tang Ye gazed into Du Xi's bright and clear eyes, thinking to himself: How can there be such a wonderful woman in this world, how can I not love her?

The corners of Tang Ye's mouth rose slightly, revealing a smug smile: "Then I'll accept this card. Heh, I didn't expect that in this life, not only can I rely on my parents, but I can also live off a woman; it's truly worth it."

Du Xi raised her hand and tapped Tang Ye's forehead lightly, chiding: "What nonsense are you spouting!"

The two returned to Yunhu Courtyard.

As soon as Du Xi stepped into the house, Xiao Qin couldn't wait to ask how the furniture shopping went.

Du Xi took a digital camera out of her bag and handed the photos of the furniture she had taken to Xiao Qin.

Xiao Qin looked at the photos, her brows slightly furrowed; she was clearly not very satisfied with the furniture.

However, she knew in her heart that there was a significant difference in aesthetic concepts between the two generations, so she gave a few vague and perfunctory remarks.

"Xi Xi, did Tang say anything? When do you two plan to arrange for both families to have a meal together?" Xiao Qin changed the subject and asked.

A blush instantly appeared on Du Xi's cheeks, "It's not good to be too proactive about this kind of thing, otherwise people will think I'm in a rush to get married!"

Xiao Qin rolled her eyes at Du Xi and chided: "You, you might as well have 'desperate to marry' written on your face. You are already twenty-eight; if you drag it out for another year, you'll be twenty-nine, and won't you have to wait until you're thirty to have children? Your father and I are one hundred percent satisfied with Tang. Since you two are a match made in heaven, hurry up and get married, and have a big, healthy boy soon. If you are too embarrassed to bring it up, I'll go talk to Tang."

Du Xi hurriedly waved her hands, anxious: "No, no, no, let me find an opportunity to say it myself."

At the same time.

Tang Ye and Du Chengfeng were in the study, sipping tea and chatting.

On the surface, the two did not directly revolve their conversation around the Modern Agricultural New Reclamation Zone Project, but their words kept circling around this project.

"During this time, I had Xi Xi accompany Jiang Rou to tutoring classes. Mayor Jiang's daughter is truly a handful. Fortunately, she and Xi Xi get along very well, and the two of them are getting along quite harmoniously."

Du Chengfeng was slightly stunned, then smiled and responded: "No wonder when I spoke to Mayor Jiang on the phone a few days ago, he mentioned Du Xi out of the blue; so it was you who made arrangements behind the scenes."

He knew what was going on.

Tang Ye had silently contributed a lot behind the scenes to fight for projects for Tianling County.

Tang Ye lowered his voice and said seriously: "Mayor Jiang is quite approving of Tianling County's development. However, we cannot let our guard down. Recently, Mayor Xiao has been running to the provincial capital frequently and has also invited leaders of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission to dinner many times. The relationship between Mayor Xiao and Wang Xingjian is quite good."

Du Chengfeng's expression darkened, and he said slowly: "Wang Xingjian got to know Mayor Xiao during the Suiyuan County Industrial Park project. At that time, Mayor Xiao was still serving as Executive Vice Mayor. Relying on the political achievements of the Industrial Park, Mayor Xiao obtained a crucial political bargaining chip."

Tang Ye suddenly realized; now he finally understood why Mayor Xiao was so particularly attentive to Wang Xingjian.

Even though Mayor Jiang Jing had clearly stated his support for Tianling County to win the New Reclamation Area project, Mayor Xiao was still sparing no effort to fight for opportunities for Suiyuan County.

After dinner, Tang Ye got up to take his leave.

Du Xi playfully walked with her hands behind her back, following closely behind Tang Ye, her eyes fixed on the ground, deliberately stepping on Tang Ye's shadow.

She looked just like a young girl who had just fallen in love.

"Tang Ye!" "Du Xi!"

The two spoke at the same time without warning, their voices intertwined.

Du Xi tilted her head slightly, her gaze falling on Tang Ye's well-defined profile.

Her eyes were like a clear spring, flowing with the shimmering light of happiness.

She said softly: "You go first."

Tang Ye met Du Xi's gaze and said seriously: "How about we find a time to call both sets of elders and have a meal together?"

"Okay!"

Du Xi's heart felt as if it were filled with honey, sweet and sugary.

So, there was no need for her to speak up herself.

Tang Ye had thought of the exact same thing as her!
