Best friends transmigrate into a book! They marry a high-ranking official! If you run, I run too!

Shen Tingci "..."

Nothing more.

"I really didn't think this through."

"If you don't agree..."

Enraged, Gu Shuhe picked up a rag again and started wiping the countertop. When she reached Shen Tingci's fingers, she forcefully shoved his fingers down. "I don't agree, and then what?"

"Aren't you going to say, 'Let's pick another day'?"

"And what about my reputation?"

"Don't I care about my reputation?"

"Won't people say I'm difficult and unreasonable?"

Gu Shuhe usually looks gentle and kind, but now she looks like a grumpy little rabbit.

Shen Tingci could only apologize, "I'm sorry!"

He apologized, and Gu Shuhe's anger vanished instantly, leaving her feeling rather lost. "Ah, well, I just felt a bit rushed, so... that's it."

She's actually the type of person who responds better to gentle persuasion than force.

Although she usually seems a bit dull, she's actually quite reasonable when she's not.

The other party apologized immediately, and her anger dissipated.

"Yes, I was indeed a bit hasty, and I'm very sorry about that," Shen Tingci apologized sincerely again.

Although Gu Shuhe was no longer angry for a moment, she quickly wiped the countertop twice with a rag and then couldn't help but say, "Although...although you apologized, you still made a mistake. This is my marriage, a major event in my life. You decided the date yourself, which is very excessive."

Shen Tingci was about to continue apologizing when Gu Shuhe said, "So I don't plan to forgive you for now!"

Shen Tingci "..."

Looking at her finger that had just been bumped, Shen Tingci nodded, "It's what I should do."

He finished speaking but didn't leave. Gu Shuhe asked curiously, "Is there something else?"

Because of his family's circumstances, he had arranged the wedding date so close together, which made Gu Shuhe unhappy. Shen Tingci felt somewhat guilty, so he was too embarrassed to say anything more.

But stammering wasn't in his nature. "I came to see you to ask about our engagement and the things we bought."

"You make the decisions yourself!" Gu Shuhe said this sincerely, but then she added, "Anyway, you have the right ideas," which made the previous statement seem sarcastic.

Shen Tingci coughed with his fist clenched, his face turning red for once. "What we're thinking is that we'll have six new sets of clothes, pillowcases, quilt covers, and bed sheets, all in the number six, to bring good luck."

"Brown sugar, soap, and these things, pick the number ten, to symbolize perfection and good fortune."

"Wow, so many?" Gu Shuhe exclaimed in shock.

Shen Tingci's gaze deepened slightly as he looked at her stunned expression.

Gu Shuhe immediately realized she was still angry and shouldn't be so shocked, as if she were greedy for money, but there were so many things...

"Although your family is rich, our family is not, so it's fine if we are the same as everyone else."

Shen Tingci lied to her, saying, "That's how it is in every county town."

Gu Shuhe was shocked again, "No wonder everyone wants to marry into the county town."

"Six new outfits, if I wear one a year, they can last for six years, right?"

“If you like it, I’ll buy you at least six new outfits every year,” Shen Tingci replied.

Gu Shuhe sat down and said, "That's right, a woman marries a man to have food and clothing."

Gu Shuhe doesn't engage in internal strife at all.

Seeing her adorable appearance, Shen Tingci couldn't help but smile. Then, Shen Tingci said, "Shall I buy you a gold ring too?"

Gu Shuhe immediately asked, "Is this also a rule in your county?"

Shen Tingci nodded.

Gu Shuhe once again exclaimed how wonderful the county town was.

"But where can I buy a gold ring?"

"Let's go to Haishi!"

"I'll buy all my clothes there. They have a wider variety of styles to choose from."

"Isn't it too far?"

"It's not far. If you drive there, two days should be enough."

"I'll take two days off..." Gu Shuhe began to feel the pinch of her salary.

Shen Tingci could tell from her counting on her fingers, "I'll make up for your lost wages."

Gu Shuhe wasn't planning on making him pay the back wages; she was just curious about something else. "You and I..." She pointed to herself, then to Shen Tingci, "...just the two of us going together?"

Shen Tingci, intending to tease her, asked, "What's wrong?"

Gu Shuhe shook her head, but what she said was, "If it's just the two of us, what if someone misunderstands and thinks we're having an affair? That would be so embarrassing!"

Shen Tingci couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Hmm, that makes sense. Then I'll take Director Wei with me later."

"Why don't you bring your family along too? Is that alright?"

Gu Shuhe nodded, "Yes, that works!"

"Then let's settle it."

Gu Shuhe nodded, then added, "Although you made the decision on your own and it was a bit unreasonable, I can't be unreasonable either, so let's leave it at that!"

Shen Tingci "..."

Fine, fine, he's just being unreasonable.

The Shen family's plan to go to Haishi to buy things for Gu Shuhe was naturally relayed to the Gu family by Wei Hongtao.

Gu Juyuan refused repeatedly when he heard that they had to go to the sea market to buy it, saying, "There's no need to go through that trouble!"

Zhong Meixian pulled the old man aside, saying, "They've already made up their minds, so let it be. It's not like you're the one paying for it."

"But it's so far to Haishi..."

Where is it far?

"Xiao Tang's factory is over there, what's so far?"

Zhong Meixian replied to Wei Hongtao, "Okay, let's do as they say."

Wei Hongtao then asked, "Auntie, who in your family is planning to accompany your sister to buy clothes?"

"So I can come and pick them up then."

Wen Tang is naturally the most suitable sister-in-law, but Wen Tang is now pregnant with twins, and Zhong Meixian is really reluctant and worried about her.

But they wouldn't let Wen Tang go...

She looked at Gu Juyuan and asked, "Dad, who do you think would be suitable to accompany Xiaohe shopping?"

“Naturally, it’s more suitable for Xiaotang to go,” Gu Juyuan said without hesitation.

But Gu Juyuan was also worried that Wen Tang would overwork herself while heavily pregnant.

"It's because Xiaotang is pregnant..."

"If that doesn't work, shall we ask your sister-in-law?"

Gu Juyuan and Zhong Meixian both shook their heads, "No, Xiaotang is carrying twins, how can she withstand the bumpy ride!"

Just then, Wen Tang passed by the door of the main room and heard her name called, so she asked, "Mom, did you call me?"

Zhong Meixian and Gu Juyuan exchanged a glance, and she hesitated to speak.

But Wei Hongtao was a straightforward person, so he immediately smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, it's like this, the Shen family said they want to go to Shanghai to buy things for my little sister. My aunt, uncle, and I are discussing who will accompany her."

"My uncle and aunt both said that since you are my sister-in-law, it is naturally the most appropriate person for you to go."

“But your uncle and aunt are worried about your health. You are pregnant now, and you are carrying twins. Your uncle and aunt are afraid that you will be tired and suffer from the bumpy ride.”

"Going to Haishi?" Wen Tang asked.

Wei Hongtao nodded.

Wen Tang asked, "How do I get there?"

"Are you taking the bus?"

"The Shen family must have arranged the car!"

"No problem!"

Zhong Meixian tried to stop her, but Wen Tang said, "It's okay, Mom. I'm only a few months along, it just looks like my belly is big."
