Chapter 423: Chapter 199: My Declaration That I Will Never Commit Suicide (2)

Li Yang immediately said, "Mom, what are you talking about? You haven’t spent much money all year. When it comes to money, feel free to ask me. I’m not short of a few hundred thousands or tens of millions now. As for Ning’s dowry, you can rest assured, I’ll definitely handle it properly."

Wang Cuiping was satisfied.

Being able to give Xue Ning some help meant she hadn’t been a dry mother in vain.

After all, doesn’t she know what kind of person Xue Ning is? Honestly, Xue Ning is more like a couch potato, the kind who doesn’t like to work.

Without some money in hand in the future, who knows what her life will be like after marriage.

At night, Li Yang was in his room and sent a message to Xue Ning.

"Xue, are you for real?"

Xue Ning quickly replied, "No, I’m just fooling them."

"But you said you were bringing someone back. There are only a few days left until the New Year. What will you do then?"

"Play it by ear! I’ll find an excuse when the time comes. I really don’t want to go on blind dates."

Li Yang understood, Xue Ning just didn’t want to go on blind dates? That’s why she brought up the topic of having a boyfriend?

It suits her personality because she always focuses on the present and never considers the future.

"Don’t stress so much, I’ll help you cover when the time comes."

After all, he’s also involved in this situation. If Xue Ning can’t think of an excuse then, he’s definitely going to help out.

"Then wait for me in the second half of the night..."

"Not today! I’m shutting down for the night, no visitors!"

After saying that, Li Yang hurried back to bed to rest.

Receiving visitors again would be exhausting! 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Besides, he had things to do during the day, like a basketball appointment with Jiang Banxia.

Legit basketball!

He didn’t want to be out of breath just after a few steps.

...

The time before the New Year was unusually relaxing for Li Yang.

Because of Jiang Banxia, it was inconvenient for him to trade stocks. If he traded, his portfolio would definitely overlap with Wanliu Capital, and since the market was tepid in the first half of the year, without being an expert, he wouldn’t make much money.

It was better to honestly work on his own business.

He still held great expectations for Extreme Shadow Cars and the Green Water Group, after all, he now had the right to discuss dreams.

Every day, besides calling Wu Tianqi over to play basketball, he took some time to receive visitors.

As long as it wasn’t too frequent, receiving visitors was quite a good gig.

On New Year’s Eve, Li Yang didn’t go to the gate of the community to buy fireworks again.

The last time he almost got in trouble, so this time he bought two from another source in advance!

He first went to Bai Qing’s place, picked a spot where she could see from indoors, gave a small red packet, and naturally, someone was willing to light the fireworks for him.

He just held Bai Qing by the waist and waited until the fireworks ended.

The New Year’s atmosphere was quite lonely for Bai Qing since several of her closest relatives had cut ties with her for various reasons.

Like Wu Tianqi, those distant relatives didn’t normally have much contact.

But after half an hour, Li Yang left and went downstairs to spend New Year’s with Jiang Banxia.

They lit fireworks, chatted by the river until one in the morning, with noses turning red from the cold, and then left.

As soon as he got back to Bai Qing’s place, she placed his icy hands in her bosom.

"Are you crazy!"

Li Yang hurriedly tried to pull away, but Bai Qing held on tightly.

"Hmm, hubby’s hands feel nice."

"Nice, my foot! They’re ice blocks, I’ll warm up after a bit..."

Li Yang’s strength was a bit greater, even though Bai Qing pressed hard, he still managed to break free.

At that moment, a layer of mist covered Bai Qing’s eyes.

"I...seem useless to you, like with emotions, you don’t need my warmth, and besides that, I have nothing..."

Listening to this made Li Yang’s scalp tingle, this was the first time Bai Qing said such things.

Li Yang extended his slightly warmer hand and cupped Bai Qing’s soft face. At this moment, he definitely couldn’t talk about rationale and reality, because Bai Qing was emotional now.

"It’s not that I don’t need your warmth, I want you to give me more in the future. A woman’s belly is a very fragile place, what if my hands freeze you?"

Bai Qing pulled Li Yang’s hands down a bit, "Then how about here? There’s more fat here, not afraid of damage."

"That’s the food source for our future kids, what if it affects their production?"

"Kids?"

"What else? With your genes, you should give me ten or eight, not for myself, purely for humanity! Excellent genes should be passed on, understand?"

Bai Qing asked, "Are you lying to me?"

"When have I ever lied to you?"

"You once said you can’t play games, made me lose a whole night."

"But back then you also said I could touch, right? And you didn’t let me. Now it’s different, I have touched, so I won’t lie anymore..."

Just as Li Yang finished speaking, Bai Qing immediately dragged him to the bedroom.

Then, she opened the closet door.

In the closet, there was a smaller cabinet that usually held some precious items.

But when Bai Qing opened it, she found a bunch of small boxes.

At least ten or twenty.

Bai Qing piled them all up and placed them in Li Yang’s hands, saying, "Throw these away, and I’ll believe you!"

In this atmosphere, Li Yang could only hold the bunch of small boxes and directly throw them into the trash bin, also saying, "I’ve long found these things annoying, won’t use them in the future, they’re obstacles to our close contact!"

...

After the New Year, at twenty, Li Yang found himself facing his second life choice.

Whether it’s the twenty-seven-year-old Xue Ning or the twenty-three-year-old Bai Qing.

Growing up isn’t good, because once you grow up, others start talking to you about responsibilities.
