123 Men Having Money Is Very Importan (1/2)

”We've only known each other for a few days.....” Xiang Qing's voice was very tense.

I moved closer to him, ”It does not matter.”

Xiang Qing retreated a little bit further away, his head full of cold sweat, ”We are not familiar enough with each other.”

I moved even closer to him this time, ”It does not matter.”

Xiang Qing continued his retreat, ”This progress is too fast.”

I inched closer to him, closing off the gap, ”Not fast, not fast at all! In fact, it's too slow!”

In the end, Xiang Qing, his entire person stumbled from his seat from the stone. I hastened to lend him a helping hand and continue to investigate him on the topic of marriage and having children.

”Marriage, it's not something that can be decided just because you like someone.” Xiang Qing's response was puzzling.

”Then what else do we need?” I didn't understand.

”Miss Miao Miao, you are very beautiful and you have a lovable personality, any man would want to marry you,” Xiang Qing was somewhat melancholic, ”I have nothing, compare me to anyone else and you'll find that every single one will be better than me in multiple aspects.”

”That stuff, I don't care about them.” I still didn't understand.

Xiang Qing gave me a bitter smile, ”I'm honored that Miao Miao has such deep sentiments towards me, but marriage is not small matter. Please carefully reconsider your thoughts and don't make such casual decisions.”

I wanted to ask him what deep sentiments were? But he had already hastened to flee.

As I stared at the departure of his figure, my heart felt like it was being constricted. Then is this feeling because I've expressed my proposal wrongly? Or should I have been even more direct? Or perhaps I should've emphasized more on the part of about having many children? Maybe I should just take off all my clothes and wait in bed for him to come?

Too troublesome, too troublesome. The Shifu who has forgotten about Miao Miao is really too difficult to handle, understanding the human mind is really annoying. You see, cats are much simpler. If a cat happens to like another, then they only need to go claim it directly, simple is it not? So troublesome!

As I returned to the residence, Yin Zi who upon seeing me, walked forward and viciously knocked my head a couple of times. Miao Miao's head wasn't made of diamonds. If hit repeatedly, even it will start hurting. Thus when he wasn't paying attention, I secretly crept away.

Seeing me come out, Seventh Senior Brother hurriedly took a step forward and asked, ”Miss Yin Zi hasn't left her room for several days now. Cooping up inside for too long isn't goo for her health, so I brought her some candied fruit. I ask that Miss Miao Miao help me deliver these.”

I gave a disdainful glance at the candied fruit, and informed, ”All the gifts you send, Yin Zi doesn't like them.”

”Then.....what kind of gifts does Miss Yin Zi like?” Seventh Senior Brother's face was full of expectation.

”He likes roasted chicken,” I moistened my lips, ”If you deliver one every day, he will definitely be very happy.”

Seventh Senior Brother hurried away with an excited expression.

I paced back and forth several times thinking about the headache with Xiang Qing. Is this feeling what they call a single day of longing will feel like three autumns have passed?

Taking advantage of the fact that Yin Zi was busying himself with embroidery and not myself, I covertly slipped away. When no one was looking, I transformed back into a cat and headed for Xiang Qing's room.

He had some silver and coins scattered around the table, but upon setting his eyes on me, his expression became joyful. He quickly went to the kitchen and brought back a large dish of roasted fish. Afterwards, he went back to counting the number of silvers and coins, sighing.

I didn't know what he was counting money for, and just hopped onto his thighs. I rubbed my head against his chest and refused to leave. A slender man in noble attire walked in from the outside, he looked to Xiang Qing and laughed, ”Hmm? You've finally started caring about the importance of money? Did the sun rise from the west today?”

”It's nothing like that,” Xiang Qing neatly put away the scattered pieces of silver, and then very respectfully said, ”How come Fourth Senior Brother has returned? After getting married you've rarely come back for a visit. Is Eldest Senior Sister well?”

”En, I should occasionally come back to visit the junior brothers. Moreover, my Xiao Lan is about to give birth, so you guys should quickly prepare some gifts to send to my residence.” The man called Fourth Senior Brother sat down next to Xiang Qing with a sly smile, ”Now let's talk about you, weren't you always indifferent and uninterested in worldly matters? What do you need money for?”

”It's nothing.” Xiang Qing appeared to be a bit flustered.

”Let me guess,” Fourth Senior Brother touched his chin. His eyes were narrow like that of a mischievous fox, ”Your mother at home is sick?”
