Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Li Zhaodi gasped when she saw the golden bracelets. “Why are there so many?”

“I wanted to ask the same question. Why are there so many things?” Some modern wedding videos flashed across Mu Jingzhe’s mind. Those brides had golden bracelets all over their arms or even hanging around their necks.

Those videos made the netizens call them ballers. At that moment, Mu Jingzhe also shouted ‘Baller!’ in her heart.

“Mom, I don’t have to wear all these, right?” Mu Jingzhe immediately checked.

“It’s best if you wear it. If you do, you’ll look good and you’ll show how much your in-laws value you.” When she saw Mu Jingzhe’s disbelief, Li Zhaodi changed the topic. “But you definitely can’t wear so many. Wealth should not be revealed. What if people come to steal them when they see you wearing them?”

Although that was a good reason, it was fine as long as she didn’t have to wear it all. Mu Jingzhe heaved a sigh of relief and patted herself. “Mu Jingzhe, you’re so arrogant now. You actually sighed with relief because you don’t have to wear golden bracelets.”

Ji Buwang’s surprise wasn’t limited to that. There was also a special gift box among the betrothal gifts that was specifically for Mu Jingzhe. When Mu Jingzhe received it, she opened it curiously and felt stunned. After Li Zhaodi took a look, she gasped.

There were three rows of gold bars neatly placed in the box. Real gold bars.

Li Zhaodi’s mind flipped. She picked up a piece and wanted to bite it like people did on TV, but Mu Jingzhe quickly stopped her.

“Mom, don’t. It won’t be good if you leave tooth marks on it.”

Mu Jingzhe had never seen a real gold bar. She touched one and felt dizzy. “It’s too beautiful and cute.”

In the past, she had liked gold bars very much and felt that they looked ancient and beautiful, but she had never seen one for real. Perhaps because she had revealed her preferences previously, Ji Buwang had specifically prepared these for her.

There was also a note among the gold bars with Ji Buwang’s elegant handwriting on it. “Do you like them?”

“Of course I do!” Li Zhaodi answered at once. “Who wouldn’t like them!”

Thrilled, Li Zhaodi slapped Mu Jingzhe’s shoulder a few times. “When I have money in the future, I’ll buy gold bars too. I’ll buy them and hide them all!”

Mu Jingzhe gritted her teeth. “Mom, it hurts. Be gentler.”

Ignoring everything else, Mu Jingzhe happily carried the gold bars back.

That night, Li Zhaodi lay down and then got up again. She kept changing the place where she hid the jewelry, afraid that a thief would find out and come to steal it.

She was really not used to having so much gold all of a sudden, so Li Zhaodi didn’t rest well the entire night.

Mu Jingzhe didn’t think of this. She had a good night’s rest, hugging the gold bars to sleep, even picking them up in her dream. The next day, she happily went out with Ji Buwang.

“Why did you think of giving me gold bars?”

“I saw that you liked them. Did you like the gift?”

“I did. Of course I did. But it’s too much gold. And there are so many gold bracelets.”

“Gold is good,” Ji Buwang answered matter-of-factly. “It can be used as jewelry, and when turned into gold bars, it’s both valuable and cute.”

“That’s true.” Mu Jingzhe felt that if she were to have a child in the future, she would have to give it the nickname?‘Yuanbao¹‘.

She couldn’t help but laugh at the thought. Ji Buwang asked curiously, “Why are you laughing? Do you like it that much?”

“It’s fine.” Mu Jingzhe chuckled. “You’ll know in the future. I’ll tell you. I’ll give you a surprise when the time comes.”

“Alright, then I look forward to the surprise you will give me. Let’s go take a look at necklaces and rings. We’ll buy what you like. If nothing catches your eye, we can also go shopping in the capital. There are more designs there.”

Mu Jingzhe hooked her arm around Ji Buwang’s as they entered the department store. Everyone knew what they were there for and welcomed them warmly. They really did find something suitable.

The ring, necklace, and earrings were the three gold pieces of jewelry one wore at a wedding, so she would be wearing them constantly and keeping them. Mu Jingzhe felt that, compared to novel designs, it was better to buy some simple and classic ones. That way, they wouldn’t become old-fashioned even after a few years.

Ji Buwang didn’t have any objections as long as Mu Jingzhe liked them. He only found these too light. “If only they were heavier. They’d be worth more money then.”

Salesperson: “…”

This was the first time she had seen such a weird customer. Other people were afraid that they would spend more money if the jewelry weighed more, but this man disliked them for being too light.

Mu Jingzhe tugged at Ji Buwang. “Why couldn’t I tell in the past that you had the potential to be a baller? Alright, pay up and let’s leave.”

After coming out of the department store, they soon passed by a photo studio. The owner had hung some photos he deemed nice outside the studio. Other than individual photos and family photos, the most eye-catching ones were the wedding photos.

Before and after the New Year, it was peak wedding period. The boss was very good at doing business and had placed the most recently popular wedding photos in an eye-catching position. Soon, he managed to attract Ji Buwang.

Ji Buwang stopped outside and looked. “Jingzhe, let’s take photos too.”

Mu Jingzhe raised her brows. As a modern person, she had yet to mention taking wedding photos, but Ji Buwang had brought it up first. “Sure.”

The boss came to greet them and solemnly recommended taking wedding photos. He said that they would regret it if they didn’t take photos. Their photo studio was progressing with the times, and there was even a Western bridal gown. When the time came, the bride could wear it and take photos in it. It would definitely look good.

Mu Jingzhe looked at the few sets of photos the boss was proud of and held back her surprise. At the time, because of the limitations of photography equipment and technology, there was no photoshop. Compared to the photos of the modern era, these were actually very ordinary. They were basically just photos of the bride wearing a wedding dress and photos of the flowers, while the groom stood on a hanging canvas. They looked fake no matter how one looked at them.

All the brides and grooms basically had the same expression. Their makeup and wedding dress were also ordinary. Whether they looked good or not depended on their own beauty. Mu Jingzhe didn’t mind taking a few retro wedding photos, but she kept feeling that she couldn’t handle this makeup style. Her hair was still short as well.

Ji Buwang was very good-looking, and she didn’t want to be outshined by him. Otherwise, when they had children in the future, what if the children saw the photo and posted it online to tease them?

She didn’t want their kids to mock her and say things like ‘Was my dad short-sighted back then?’ or ‘My dad must have been blinded by pig oil back in the day’, nor did she want them to say things like ‘My dad had face blindness and could only see my mom, so he thought she was the most good-looking person in the world, but that was actually not the case’.

After seeing the way netizens teased people, Mu Jingzhe thought ahead and decided to take precautions. Although she had short hair, she had to be good-looking in addition to being handsome. Otherwise, she might even hear people say ‘These are clearly brothers!’ or something along that line.

Mu Jingzhe’s expression was dark. Ji Buwang found it strange. “What’s wrong? Jingzhe, you don’t want to take photos? It’s fine if you don’t want to.”

“I want to, but I have a request. I want to be beautiful. Beautiful! At the very least, I can’t be too inferior to you.”

Mu Jingzhe looked at Ji Buwang’s perfect face. For the first time, she was troubled by his handsomeness.

The boss of the photo studio was speechless.

“…”

Ji Buwang chuckled. “They’ll be beautiful. You’re beautiful to begin with.”

The boss of the photo studio was speechless once again.

“…”

Should he not have come out to greet them?
