Song Qinglan was overjoyed to receive the jewelry.
The money isn't the main issue; the crucial point is that this might very well be a gift from her future daughter-in-law! These days, let alone a future daughter-in-law, even a real daughter-in-law—how many of them would be willing to spend money on jewelry for their mother-in-law?
Overjoyed, Song Qinglan put on the jewelry the very night she received it.
Then he spent the whole night hiding in his room making video calls to his old friends, showing off.
Mr. and Mrs. Wen Zhengrong stayed at Clear Breeze Temple for almost a week, but then President Wen.
On the day they left, Wen Xu specially drove them to the airport.
While Wen Zhengrong went to the restroom, Song Qinglan pulled Wen Xu aside and said, "You still need to work harder on your love life!"
Wen Xu, every time Song Qinglan mentioned relationships, Wen Xu would deny it or avoid the topic altogether. This time, however, he didn't say anything and directly agreed, "I'll try my best!"
Song Qinglan looked at him hopefully. "When will your father and I expect to hear good news from you?"
Wen Xu thought for a moment and said, "I'll try to do it before you old folks!"
Song Qinglan: "..." You unfilial son, why didn't you just say it before we died?

Not long after Song Qinglan and Wen Zhengrong left City A, Yun Zhaozhao finally got her hands on the house she bought.
Wen Xu received her fully furnished apartment a long time ago, while Yun Zhaozhao had to wait longer because she bought a bare-bones off-plan apartment.
Wen Xu had previously mentioned that if Yun Zhaozhao was decorating his house and buying furniture, he could help him take a look. So before the renovation, Yun Zhaozhao took the initiative to contact Wen Xu, saying she wanted to see what style Wen Xu's fully furnished apartment was like, so she could refer to it when decorating her own home, and also make sure the style was consistent when buying furniture for Wen Xu, so that the hard furnishings were one style and the soft furnishings were another.
So Wen Xu took Yun Zhaozhao with him.
To be honest, this was the first time Wen Xu had come to see this house since he bought it.
It's not fair to blame him for buying the house so casually; it was just that buying a house was too easy for him, so deep down he didn't consider it a big deal.
He just randomly picked a property he liked, and since it wasn't too far from his factory, he bought it.
However, after taking a look today, I feel that the floor, lighting, and even the style of the house seem to be alright.
And it's true that you can move in immediately with just your belongings.
Because the developer installed solid wood flooring directly for him, he can sleep on the floor directly.
Yun Zhaozhao had clearly noticed the problem as well. "Actually, your house is almost completely furnished. You just need to buy two beds and a sofa and you can move in. Are you sure you want to wait until my place is finished before coming over to pick out furniture for you?"
Wen Xu: "We can choose in advance. How about we go take a look together today? Anyway, many pieces of furniture need to be ordered six months in advance."
Wen Xu originally thought that Yun Zhaozhao would ask a couple of questions about why she insisted on going with her to pick things out, but to her surprise, Yun Zhaozhao turned around and walked out.
Wen Xu was stunned for a moment before following after him.
Once the car started, Wen Xu couldn't help but ask, "Don't you want to ask me why I have to ask you to help me choose furniture for my own house?"
Yun Zhaozhao: "Why else? Because you like me!"
Wen Xu: "????"
Wen Xu: "..."
Yun Zhaozhao: "What's wrong? Did I guess wrong?"
Wen Xu: "No. I just didn't expect you to be so direct, I'm a little unsure what to say."
Yun Zhaozhao looked out the window calmly. "If you don't know what to say, then don't say anything. Whether you like something or not is a very personal thing, like liking a flower or a tree. It's indescribable, just a feeling."
Wen Xu: "Then you..."
Yun Zhaozhao: "I allow you to like me."
Wen Xu: "..." It's not like you can make me dislike you just because you don't allow it.
Chapter 129
Yun Zhaozhao and Wen Xu went directly to the largest furniture mall in City A. They could find any kind of furniture they wanted there.
However, Yun Zhaozhao only realized how expensive the furniture was after she arrived.
Let's not even talk about the fact that large items like beds, dining tables, and sofas are expensive; even a simple stool can cost several thousand or even tens of thousands of yuan.
As Yun Zhaozhao strolled around, she couldn't help but reflect on herself: Could it be that she was still too poor? Because she actually thought a stool costing 10,000 yuan was a bit expensive. Maybe when Wen Xu reached this stage, he would think that stools costing several thousand or even tens of thousands of yuan were a normal price.
Thinking this, she couldn't help but point to the stool and whisper to Wen Xu, "Do you think this stool is worth ten thousand yuan?"
Wen Xu: "All I can say is that this stool is more valuable than my life. If you don't believe me, go ask my dad and see if he thinks my life is worth ten thousand yuan."
Yun Zhaozhao: "... That's not necessarily true. I think your dad still loves you very much."
Wen Xu: "Ha! His love for me is just a side effect; his love for money is his true instinct."
At this point, Wen Xu suddenly turned his head and glanced at Yun Zhaozhao. Yun Zhaozhao was puzzled by his look, because she felt that she saw something like accusation in Wen Xu's eyes, but what did this have to do with her? Besides, they were talking about Wen Xu's father just a second ago.
Yun Zhaozhao: "... What's wrong?"
Wen Xu looked away, saying it was nothing, but in his heart he was thinking: It's really strange, why are all the people he likes so obsessed with money?
The two of them shopped from the first floor to the top floor and back again, eventually buying two beds and two mattresses. Since beds are large items, the price was a little higher, but Wen Xu and Yun Zhaozhao felt it was acceptable. After all, people spend at least half of their day in bed, so averaging it out, the slightly higher price of the beds and mattresses didn't seem like a big deal.
Most importantly, Wen Xu's house was already fully furnished, so with a bed and mattress, he could move in right away, saving the house from being left empty and wasting time.
Wen Xu: "Actually, I'm not in a rush to move in..."
Yun Zhaozhao: "A house only becomes lively when people live there for a while. I regret buying a bare-bones apartment. If I had bought a fully furnished one like you, I would have moved in a long time ago."
Wen Xu blurted out, "Then why don't you move in with me first?"
Yun Zhaozhao, who was about to press the elevator button to go downstairs, paused upon hearing this, and then boldly asked Wen Xu, "So you're inviting me to live with you now?"
The moment the words "cohabitation" were Wen Xu, Wen Xu jumped up from the ground like a stray cat whose tail had been stepped on. "... How could that be? What kind of nonsense are you thinking? What kind of person do you take me for?! I meant for you to move in with me, and I'll still live in the factory. Anyway, the factory has single dorms, and the conditions aren't any worse than the apartment I bought."
Yun Zhaozhao couldn't help but comfort him, "No, no, why are you so agitated?"
Wen Xu: "You've already thought of me as a hooligan, can't I get a little agitated?"
Yun Zhaozhao stated truthfully, "I didn't think of you as a hooligan; I just treated you as a normal, ordinary man. Who knew you'd be so special..."
To be honest, Yun Zhaozhao had never realized that Wen Xu was such an easy-going person before. Now that she had teased him a bit, she discovered that Wen Xu was actually quite innocent when it came to matters of the heart.
Yun Zhaozhao had always thought that a rich second-generation like Wen Xu would treat relationships as casually as he treats money!
However, respecting feelings is a very good quality, so Yun Zhaozhao is quite satisfied with Wen Xu in this respect.
She pressed the elevator button again before continuing, "I appreciate your kindness, but it's not necessary. I'm quite content living at Clear Breeze Temple now. It's a single dormitory room, and I get three free meals a day."
When it comes to food, Wen Xu is speechless.
The two of them were indeed a bit hungry after walking around for so long, so since they had brought up food, they decided to grab a bite to eat nearby.
Yun Zhaozhao meant that since Wen Xu had paid for the bed and mattress for her, she should reciprocate by treating Wen Xu to a meal to express her gratitude.
Wen Xu thought this made perfect sense, so he nodded in agreement.
As a result, Yun Zhaozhao took Wen Xu directly to Clear Breeze Temple Guesthouse.
When they got off the train at the entrance of Clear Breeze Temple Guesthouse, Wen Xu was utterly impressed by Temple Master Yun's frugality. " Yun Zhaozhao, you really know how to save money! Why didn't you just take me to the Clear Breeze Temple canteen for a meal?"
Yun Zhaozhao said seriously, "Don't worry about where I take you to eat, just tell me whether I treated you or not?"
Wen Xu glanced at her helplessly, also at a loss for what to do. "... I did invite her, but..."
Yun Zhaozhao: "No buts, let's go, let's go, we're starving!"
-
Because her parents stayed at the Clear Breeze Temple Guesthouse Clear Breeze Temple while ago, Wen Xu frequently went there and became very familiar with the place.
Moreover, both the guesthouse manager and Martial Uncle Chuli knew him.
As soon as he entered, the two of them greeted Wen Xu with smiles.
Guesthouse manager. "Oh, it's Young President Wen!"
Martial Uncle Chuli: "Oh, the handsome young man is here!"
Wen Xu: "..." When it comes to teasing people, everyone in Clear Breeze Temple is exactly the same; it can be said that if the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam will be crooked as well.
Yun Zhaozhao: "What delicious food is available at the store today?"
The guesthouse manager glanced at the menu written on the small blackboard on the wall and smiled, revealing his Little White teeth. "Today's stuffed chili peppers are pretty good. And the pumpkin pancakes are crispy and fragrant; they should be the kind you, Master, would like."
