“Really?” Zhao Yuxin asked. She was taken aback by the news. She even felt a bit incredulous.
“Yup, it’s true,” said Xu Yang as he nodded earnestly.
“Alright then, you go ahead. I want to see if your intuition is accurate,” Zhao Yuxin said.
“Sure, I’ll bring back a big surprise,” Xu Yang said.
After chatting for a while, the two of them got up. While having breakfast at a local eatery, Xu Yang suggested, “Honey, how about we go shopping together tonight? What do you think?”
Xu Yang wanted to buy some clothes for Zhao Yuxin. Despite being together with Zhao Yuxin, he hadn’t given her any gifts yet. The last time they went shopping, it was Zhao Yuxin who had bought him a few outfits. This time, Xu Yang decided to buy Zhao Yuxin a few sets of clothes.
“Sure,” Zhao Yuxin was naturally delighted.
Girls enjoyed shopping, especially when it was with their beloved partner.
After breakfast, they headed to work. Xu Yang’s phone rang after he bid goodbye to Zhao Yuxin. He picked it up immediately and said, “Hey, Mom.”
It was a call from Xu Yang’s mother, Jiang Qiuping.
“Yang, how are things going with you?” Jiang Qiuping asked.
“Mom, what are you asking about?” Xu Yang inquired.
“Don’t act clueless with me. Last time, you asked me to send you your household registration so you could propose to your girlfriend. How’s that going?” Jiang Qiuping asked.
Both Jiang Qiuping and Xu Yang’s father were aware that Xu Yang was planning to propose to his girlfriend. The elderly couple was eagerly awaiting good news from Xu Yang. However, it had been several days since then, and Xu Yang hadn’t called home with any updates. Jiang Qiuping couldn’t hold back her curiosity any longer, so she called to inquire.
“Mom, Yulu and I broke up,” Xu Yang said.
“What? You broke up? Didn’t you already propose? How did it lead to a breakup?” Jiang Qiuping asked in rapid succession.
“Mom, Yulu said I couldn’t provide her with the life she wanted, so we broke up,” Xu Yang explained.
“Oh dear…” After a long pause, Jiang Qiuping let out a sigh. “Yang, it’s all my fault and your dad’s. We haven’t been able to help you.”
Jiang Qiuping blamed herself and thought, ‘Yang was young with endless possibilities ahead. Clearly, Yulu broke up with Xu Yang due to his family background.’
“Mom, you can’t blame yourselves for this. I can earn money on my own. Although Yulu and I broke up, rest assured, you already have a daughter-in-law,” Xu Yang said.
“What do you mean?” Jiang Qiuping was bewildered. “You broke up with your girlfriend, so where did my daughter-in-law come from?”
“Mom, even though Yulu and I broke up, I’ve registered my marriage with her younger sister, Yuxin,” Xu Yang said with a smile.
“What are you saying?” Jiang Qiuping was utterly shocked.
‘I heard from Yang that Yulu had a twin sister. What was going on? He broke up with his girlfriend, and then started dating the girlfriend’s twin sister? And they even got married?’ Jiang Qiuping thought.
Not only was Jiang Qiuping shocked, but even the passengers who overheard Xu Yang’s words on the subway were stunned. They began to discuss about him.
“Damn, this guy broke up with his girlfriend and then hooked up with her sister?”
“Damn, my mind is all tangled up. I’ve only seen this kind of plot in novels, never in real life.”
“Novel plots are inspired by life. We just haven’t encountered them before, and now we have.”
“This guy is incredibly lucky.”
“Tsk tsk, sisters. Many men dream of this kind of thing.”
“Why didn’t I end up with sisters? I just wanted a girlfriend.”
“The difference between people is huge. They enjoy the blessings of having sisters, while I don’t even have a girlfriend.”
The male passengers looked at Xu Yang with eyes filled with envy and jealousy. The female passengers looked at Xu Yang curiously, wondering what was so special about Xu Yang that he could capture the hearts of two sisters, with the elder one breaking up and the younger one taking her place.
But looking closely, other than being somewhat handsome and cheerful, there didn’t seem to be anything particularly special about Xu Yang. He wasn’t wearing luxury brand clothes, just regular brands, indicating he wasn’t a rich heir. It was hard to fathom.
“Mom, Yulu and I broke up, and then I realized that Yuxin is the one I want to spend my life with. We registered our marriage. I’ll bring her to meet you when I get the chance,” Xu Yang said.
“Alright, now that you’ve made up your mind and registered your marriage, your dad and I have nothing to say except that you must treat her well. Now that you’ve registered your marriage, it’s like starting a family. You need to be thrifty, manage the household well, and treat her with care, understand?” Jiang Qiuping advised.
“Mom, I know. Is Dad with you? I have to go to work now, so I’ll talk to him next time. Just let him know about this,” Xu Yang said.
“Sure, you don’t have to tell him. I’ll let him know. Just focus on your work. Bye now.” Jiang Qiuping said.
Then, Jiang Qiuping hung up the phone.
“What’s going on? How did it go from a breakup to a marriage?” Xu Yang’s father, Xu Deming asked. He was indeed by Jiang Qiuping’s side.
However, Xu Deming had only heard snippets of the conversation and didn’t fully understand what was happening.
“Our son broke up with his girlfriend and then got together with the girlfriend’s twin sister. They even got married,” Jiang Qiuping said, smiling.
Regardless of the specifics, their son’s major life event had reached a conclusion. As a result, they didn’t have to worry as much. Xu Deming on the other hand, was dumbfounded. His mind was in disarray, not knowing what to say.
After work that evening, Xu Yang met up with Zhao Yuxin, and they went to a restaurant for dinner before heading out for some shopping. Then, Xu Yang took Zhao Yuxin to a Chanel boutique.
“Darling, are we going to buy clothes here?” Zhao Yuxin looked at the prices and was taken aback.
Although Zhao Yuxin was from Jaster City, her family’s financial situation was fairly average. Her father owned a small restaurant, and he had raised her all by himself. She had known from a young age that her father worked very hard and never compared herself to others. She always chose the cheaper options when buying clothes and other items, allowing her father to save money.
Even when Zhao Yuxin started working and had her own salary, she remained quite frugal. When buying clothes, bags, or cosmetics, she stuck to affordable brands. This was her first time in a luxury brand store.
“We’ll become wealthier over time, so you can dress a little better. I transferred some money from my futures account today. Let’s buy some expensive clothes,” Xu Yang said with a smile.
“You withdrew the money? How much did you take out?” Zhao Yuxin asked.
“You don’t need to worry about that. What you should care about is what you like,” Xu Yang didn’t disclose the exact amount to Zhao Yuxin.
“Honey, I know we’ve earned some money, but let’s save up for a house,” Zhao Yuxin still prioritized buying a house. In her view, spending so much money on luxury items wasn’t necessary.
“It’s fine. Give me some time, and we’ll be able to buy a house in full. Believe in me, okay?” Xu Yang said.
“Yes, of course, I believe in you, honey,” Zhao Yuxin nodded repeatedly.
“Great, then you can choose some clothes, shoes, and bags,” Xu Yang said.
Next, it was time for them to shop. Although Zhao Yuxin liked many clothes, shoes, and bags, she only had her eye on a dress worth six thousand yuan and didn’t want to choose more. Xu Yang helped her pick out three outfits, two pairs of shoes, and two bags. When they settled the bill, it amounted to a total of three hundred and twenty thousand yuan.
