Imprisoning the Black Moonlight

Money is money as long as you understand its limits. But beyond those limits, it sometimes doesn't shock people; instead, it makes them indifferent.

Just like Da Jiao and Xiao Jiao at this moment, if he mentioned a few million or eight million, they would be shocked that it was a huge sum of money, exceeding ten figures. Instead, they were incredibly calm, so calm that they had no concept of it, and only focused on the fact that he was coming to propose marriage.

"Xiao Jin, although I agreed to let you two date, Yue Bao is still young and has to study. We have to wait until she finishes her studies before we can talk about marriage," Da Jiao said, pushing the documents on the table.

"Yes, I know, Mom. I promised I would help her with her studies, and I will, but," the man sighed.

"As you both know, Yuebao can be quite charming at times. I don't feel secure with her. If we don't have a proper relationship, it's not good to control her too much. If you push her too far and she breaks up with me, there's nothing I can do."

The two girls looked at each other.

The two of them arrived early this morning looking like this. As soon as their daughter walked in, she went straight into the bedroom. Hong Jin then said he wanted to offer betrothal gifts. Even a fool could see that things were about to escalate.

"Xiao Jin, Yue Bao has been spoiled by us since she was little. She can be quite mischievous sometimes, but she has never been in a relationship before. Since she agreed to date you, it means she really likes you. Don't worry, she won't really break up with you."

Da Jiao tried to persuade her with kind words.

"Who said that? I didn't tie you to my body." Yao Gongyue changed her clothes and came out, sitting on the sofa. She said arrogantly to the man, "I don't want these things of yours. Even if I gave them to you, I wouldn't be able to hold onto them. I don't understand those messy data."

"Mother……"

The man ignored her, turned to look at Da Jiao with a wronged expression, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't, or perhaps he was saying: Look, this is why I did this.

Da Jiao chuckled dryly in response, then turned her head and noticed her daughter's hand. "Baby, what happened to your hand?"

"It's hot, it's hot!" She hid her hand behind her back. "It's okay, it's just a minor injury, it'll be fine in a couple of days."

"It's like this, Mommy, Yuebao, she..."

"Hong Jin!" Yao Gongyue quickly stood up. She dared not let her mother and aunt know how much trouble she had caused last night, otherwise she would be in for a beating.

"Oh, Oppa, come here, come on, let me show you how pretty the flowers Mom grew are!" She desperately winked at Hong Jin.

Someone who's usually so smart, how come they're so blind and stupid at crucial moments?

"Alright, I'm not blind!" Da Jiao knew something was amiss when she saw her like this, and her anger flared up. "Yao Gongyue, you—"

"I didn't bully him, really!" she said as she sat down next to Hong Jin and secretly pinched the flesh on his waist.

"Hmm!" The man nodded, suppressing a laugh. "Mom, Yuebao got hurt. It's my fault for not taking good care of her. I'm sorry."

“You don’t need to make excuses for her. I know my own daughter’s personality.” Da Jiao glanced at Hong Jin and sighed. “Xiao Jin, you’re a good girl. You’re mature, steady, highly educated, and good to Yue Bao. Apart from the fact that your family lives a bit far away, we are quite satisfied with you two and agree to your relationship.”

However, this betrothal is really a bit premature. Besides, we ordinary people don't need those things. Really, even if you really want to go through the proper procedures, just follow the standard ones. As long as you don't mistreat our child, we don't care about anything else.

"I know that, Mom. I'm just anxious. I'm insecure. I'm several years older than Yuebao, and I don't have any official status for her. I'm really afraid that someone will take her away from me."

Yao Gongyue looked at this scoundrel's smug expression and her lips twitched. "I'd like to, but with your tendency to kill and set fires at the drop of a hat, who could take you away?"

"Mom, I'm going to say a few words to him. You two can talk about something else first!" she said, reaching out to grab the man's ear. But then, feeling the glares from the two people behind her, she moved her hand down slightly, her delicate fingers hooking around the man's shirt button as she entered the bedroom.

"What are you doing? What kind of betrothal is this? Are you out of your mind? Did I agree to it?"

She closed the door, kicked the man's shin hard, and sat down on the bed angrily.

The man shamelessly pressed himself against her. "Why didn't you agree? Back in the car, I asked you if you wanted me, and you said yes. Now you want me, what? Going back on your word?"

"I was just..." Her words suddenly caught in her throat. Recalling the scene when the man asked her those questions, Yili's pretty face suddenly turned red. "Are you trying to trick me again?"

"What do I have? You said yourself that you wanted to give me a proper status!"

"I'll fight you to the death, you scoundrel!"

"Aren't you afraid Mom and Auntie will hear the noise? Go ahead and go for it." The man couldn't hide the wicked smile in his eyes as he leaned close to her ear, "We haven't tried it in your bedroom yet, do you want to..."

"you shut up."

Yao Gongyue wanted to cry but had no tears. Seeing that she was a little angry, the man shook his head and pulled her into his arms, his deep voice hoarse and affectionate.

“Yuebao, the image of you leaving last night is like a knife, still stuck in my heart. It was the first time I watched you leave me, leave our home. I suddenly realized that when you said you were leaving, you really meant it, leaving alone, with nothing, all by yourself…”

Yao Gongyue, "..."

“I was thinking, if the house becomes yours, then at least when I make you angry, you will tell me to get out and leave your territory. You won’t just leave in the middle of the night in the wind and snow, and you won’t encounter bad people or danger.”

I'm shameless, I'll cling to you, I won't leave. And since you're easily fooled, we won't end up like we were last night.

Last night, baby, I really had murderous thoughts, and I can't guarantee I won't have those thoughts towards any man who gets close to you in the future. But you care about me, and if something happens to me, you'll be heartbroken and worried. After thinking it over, we've decided to get engaged. I'll use you as a bond, and in the future, I'll try my best to restrain myself in China. This is the best outcome, don't you think?

“I have no objection to the engagement, but the betrothal gifts you gave are too extravagant. Mom and Auntie will feel pressured. How about we follow the standard that Meng Ge gave to Zhenzhen? That was a traditional betrothal gift that Zhenzhen prepared herself. It was very ceremonial and I liked it. It wasn’t too scary.”

Hong Jin was surprised by her quick agreement. Overwhelmed with excitement, he pushed her onto the bed, leaned over her, and looked at her with his arms around her. "Baby, are you serious? You really agree to get engaged?"

"You won't order it if I don't agree?"

The man smiled slightly, looking at her without saying a word.

How could that be? At most, we'll think of another way.

Yao Gongyue rolled her eyes at him, "You dog of a man! You jerk! You annoying brat!"

“Follow the standards that A-Meng gave to the Ouyang family. Also, the villa will be registered in your name, the shop will go to your aunt, and the gold shop next door will go to your mother. Is that okay? Honey, I can’t let you suffer.”

He lowered his head and kissed her tenderly. "You're right. Those two women have too much wealth, which makes them less safe. There will always be times when I can't take care of them. This is just right. It's not too flashy, and it won't make you feel bad."

"Then you go and tell them, I dare not tell them."

"Okay, you little coward, go out and sign the papers. I'll have them do it today."
