Xiao Qian said these words almost expressionlessly, but Yu Minglang found them heartbreaking.
No wonder she was always so contradictory, distancing herself from this world. It was because no one had ever given her warmth and care, that she was so desolate.
“You think it’s shameful for me to ask that scumbag Ni Jianren for money, but let me tell you, I must do it!”
She could confidently say that in this life, as long as she still had a breath, she would absolutely not let the scumbag have a comfortable life.
Yu Minglang fell silent before he spoke again.
“I don’t think it’s shameful for you to ask for money. I understand your feelings.”
Xiao Qian looked up in surprise. Had he stopped playing the moralist?
“But doing so would break the law. 1 have a better way to help you, and it’s not worth lowering your standards for those people.” Yu Minglang said seriously.
Xiao Qian rolled her eyes, “You’re really boring.”
She knew he couldn’t say anything good. Just look at him start talking about righteousness after a few sentences. How could such a man possibly spend a lifetime with her? If anyone were to live with him for a lifetime, they might end up being driven mad.
“I’m really not a very interesting man…” Yu Minglang said sheepishly. He did secretly read some Humor Master comics, but it seemed that having a sense of humor was innate, and he couldn’t cultivate it.
“Wait a minute!”
He suddenly got up, went to the bedroom and started rummaging for something.
He had another place to live and hardly ever came back here, only occasionally staying for a short time after being nagged by his mother about marriage.
Seeing him go to the bedroom, Xiao Qian quickly got up and tried to walk out, but she couldn’t open the door.
She didn’t know what the door was made of, but she couldn’t open it no matter how hard she tried.
“You need a key to open the door. 1 locked it from the inside.” Yu Minglang returned with a stack of stuff.
Xiao Qian saw that he was holding a stack of books and wanted to laugh in his face.
“Yu Minglang! What are you up to!”
He wouldn’t be bringing out Marxist-Leninist-Maoist-Dengist theory texts and giving her a moral, ethical, and political lesson, would he?
If he did, Xiao Qian couldn’t guarantee that she wouldn’t throw her dignity as a high IQfemale boss aside and take off her shoe to slap Yu Minglang’s handsome face, first up and down, then left and right, with heavy blows!
“These are for you to read when you’re feeling down, they’ll make you feel much better.” They were his treasured collections!
Xiao Qian walked over, intending to mock him, but was instead attracted by the covers of the books.
More accurately, she was shocked by Yu Minglang.
“You … usually read these things?!”
This was so image-breaking!
Although they had been together in their past lives, she had never been to his house before, so she had never seen these things.
The books Yu Minglang brought over weren’t about morality at all. They were all… comics!
“This magazine is called Humor Master. The drawings inside are very entertaining. When you’re feeling down, you can read it. And this one…”
Yu Minglang seriously picked up an Island Country comic, Xiao Qian’s mouth twitched when she saw the title.
“Dragon Ball?!”
Oh, my god! It was earth-shattering! Someone come quickly, is there anyone to take care of this? A poker-faced man also reads Dragon Ball?
Shouldn’t he be carrying a small sign, shouting about overthrowing rb imperialism and long live whatever?
A man with words tattooed on his face that say: I am a hot-blooded, steel-straight man! Would also read this kind of thing?
Seeing her look, Yu Minglang awkwardly cleared his throat.
“It’s a good read…”
“This is from Island Country, right?”
“We have to learn from the excellent parts of our opponents, and I think the friendship and passion conveyed in this work are hugely important for us to learn.” Yu Minglang said solemnly.
Absolutely serious nonsense!
If it weren’t for the fact that Xiao Qian had read it herself, she might have been fooled by him!
You’re kidding, right? Reading Island Country comics and talking about feelings!
“I never thought, that’s what you’re like, Yu Minglang…” This was very different from what she had imagined!
In her memory, Yu Minglang was still the same as before, a stiff and emotionless figure with an imposing demeanor. But he had such a period?
“Anyway, take these back and read them. Be careful when you read them, don’t lose them, I need them back after.”
“Stingy!” Lending things to a girl and saying such things, do you want to stay single for a lifetime?
Xiao Qian suddenly thought that there might be a reason why he had remained single for half a lifetime in his previous life.
“These are limited edition! Genuine!” Yu Minglang stressed seriously. They were irreplaceable once lost.
These were his treasures, and he would never show them to anyone else except Xiao Qian.
“Keep them for yourself, I don’t want to read them.” Xiao Qian pushed them back to him.
He looked serious, “You must read them. You lack happiness.”
Xiao Qian’s mouth twitched, “I’ll be happy just by reading a few Island Country comics?”
What a divine logic.
“And, I have this for you too.” He pulled out a bankbook from among the comics and handed it to Xiao Qian.
“What are you trying to say?!” Xiao Qian’s smile vanished, and she looked at him defensively.
Was he pitying her?
What did it mean for a man she had just met and was not even very familiar with to give her money?
She wasn’t a naive young girl.
If Yu Minglang looked down on her and thought that she was the kind of woman who could be… bought with money, Xiao Qian would definitely turn against him.
Everyone could look down on her, including her parents who had treated her like a piece of merchandise. She could just coldly laugh and ignore them.
But not Yu Minglang. He couldn’t look down on her.
Seeing the wounded look in her eyes, Yu Minglang hurried to explain.
“This is money I saved myself. After buying the house, I have only 30,000 left. The rest is in a fund, and if it’s not enough, 1 can sell the fund,” he said.
“What are you trying to do?!” Xiao Qian threw the bankbook in his face, her voice filled with anger.
“I don’t mean anything else.” He saw that she was angry and quickly tried to explain.
Xiao Qian, already feeling hurt by his action of giving her money, pushed him away and tried to walk outside. Yu Minglang knew she couldn’t get out, but still went ahead and grabbed her arm.
“Listen to my explanation!”
“Explain your damned claw!” He must be looking down on her!
“My dad is already over 60, you can’t talk about him like that!”
He even had the time to pick on her choice of words! Xiao Qian wanted to strangle him.
She had forgotten that she wasn’t close to him in this life and accidentally used a gesture from a past life when she was teasing him, hitting him hard.
“Yu Minglang, your Second Uncle’s claw!”
“My Second Uncle is two years older than my dad. Are you sure you want to talk about an elder like that?”
Poor Second Uncle, always getting caught in the crossfire.
“All!!!” Xiao Qian couldn’t take it anymore. Someone please come and take this annoying Yu guy away.. She couldn’t stand it any longer!
