Chapter 679: Chapter 677: So That’s How It Is_1
After they truly got together, the moment they woke up early in the morning, the naive young man and girl couldn’t help but exchange smiles.
Nobody expected that last night, they would actually...
"Miaomiao, I will be good to you for the rest of my life," Jiang Bai declared, his long arms embracing her in a firm promise.
"I believe you will," Jiang Miaomiao nestled sweetly in his embrace, without a trace of doubt.
From the moment she met him at fifteen, she knew he was a good robot.
Now and in the future, he would also be a good boyfriend, a good husband.
"Miaomiao, do you want to rest a little longer? I’ll go check the stock market," Jiang Bai said, rubbing her head.
"Okay."
Jiang Miaomiao nodded, indeed feeling quite exhausted.
Jiang Bai tucked her back into the blankets and then got out of bed to check on the stock market.
As soon as he got his first sum of money, he immediately took Jiang Miaomiao to the jewelry store.
"Brother Bai, why are we here?" Jiang Miaomiao followed behind him, asking with her pearly teeth biting her lip, looking somewhat uneasy and nervous.
The jewelry here was very expensive.
"Of course, to buy you a diamond ring," Jiang Bai stopped abruptly when he heard her puzzled voice, stood in front of her, looking down, and spoke earnestly.
"Miaomiao, you know I can’t register our marriage or give you children, but I can still give you a ring," Jiang Bai’s voice carried a sense of guilt and remorse.
He was a robot, and even though he was like a human, he wasn’t one.
He couldn’t do many things that human couples do.
He felt he owed her so much!
Jiang Miaomiao felt a pang of sourness in her heart, and her eyes welled up with tears.
"You silly thing, ever since I chose to be with you, I knew I couldn’t have those things from you, and I don’t mind at all!" she cried, her voice choked with emotion.
So what if there is no marriage.
So what if there are no children.
As long as he could stay by her side forever, that was enough!
She was very content!
"You’re the silly one," Jiang Bai said, reaching out to wipe away her tears.
She could have had a better life, just like any ordinary girl—marrying and having children, living happily ever after, but she insisted on staying with him, a robot made entirely of parts.
The sales staff and customers at the jewelry store were stunned upon hearing the couple’s conversation.
The saleswoman, used to seeing mistresses come to buy jewelry, remained unfazed and even a bit excited.
Men who kept women on the side were often more than willing to spend money on them, and that meant a substantial commission for them!
But the other customers looked at Jiang Miaomiao with disdain.
Some scoffed disdainfully.
"Really, there are all kinds of women these days, mistresses acting so devoted, it’s quite interesting!" someone sarcastically remarked.
Jiang Miaomiao’s face turned red instantly, knowing they had misunderstood.
"Actually, I’m not..." Just as she was about to explain, Jiang Bai stepped forward, shielding her and spoke up first.
"There seems to be some misunderstanding here, the young lady beside me is not some mistress, but my official girlfriend. It’s just that my family opposed our marriage to the point of threatening death, that’s why I said what I did earlier."
"We’ve made a pact, for this lifetime I will never marry, and she will never wed, thus without marriage, we shall look after each other."
He spoke with lowered brows, each word heartfelt.
If she didn’t know for a fact he had no parents, Jiang Miaomiao might have believed him herself.
And no one else had any doubts.
Suddenly, everyone’s gaze shifted from disdain to sympathy as they looked at the couple.
"You two are such a perfect match, why don’t your parents agree?"
"How could parents be so unreasonable!"
"Regardless, you must be happy!"
"Yes! You must find happiness and show your parents that your choice is right through your actions!"
Many people started offering advice to the couple.
After all, this handsome man and beautiful woman were just too well-suited to each other. It would be a crime if they were to part because of this!
Jiang Bai listened earnestly to each suggestion: "Thank you, everyone. We will definitely prove it to them."
Jiang Miaomiao almost burst out laughing, barely managing to keep up the pretense.
After purchasing the engagement ring and taking to the streets, Jiang Miaomiao could no longer hold back her laughter.
"Bai, this is the first time I’ve realized that you can lie too!"
"And you do it so fluently!"
She walked and laughed, looking up at his eyes that seemed to sparkle with amazement, as if she had discovered a new world.
Jiang Bai stopped and made eye contact with her: "Miaomiao, remember, although I can lie, I will absolutely never lie to you."
His voice was clear, his tone serious.
"I know!" Jiang Miaomiao nodded vigorously, then added, "Actually, sometimes a white lie is okay, like just now. It’s not a big deal."
"Makes sense," he replied with a smile, catching up to her.
Ahead was a small park. The world was cloaked in silver after last night’s snowfall, extending into a vast expanse of white.
A few withered lotus leaves were sparsely scattered on the lake surface, and the reeds swayed gently, nodding their tiny heads.
"Miaomiao."
Jiang Bai suddenly called out to her.
"What’s wrong?" Jiang Miaomiao, who had been leaning on the lakeside railing to enjoy the view, turned her head to look at him.
"Stretch out your left hand," he said.
"Why?" Although puzzled, Jiang Miaomiao did as he said.
As she stretched out her hand, she realized the diamond ring that had been on her ring finger was missing.
"Where’s the ring? It was on my hand just a moment ago!"
Jiang Miaomiao immediately became frantic like an ant on a hot pan, searching around with a frown and her eyes beginning to redden.
How could she be so careless and lose the ring he bought for her!
How useless could she be!
"Don’t worry, I have it," Jiang Bai said, taking her hand and showing his open palm.
Under the sunlight, the diamond ring in his palm glittered brilliantly.
Jiang Miaomiao finally breathed a sigh of relief and instinctively asked, "How did the ring end up with you?"
"I took it off your hand," Jiang Bai said.
Jiang Miaomiao froze, "Why?"
She hoped he wasn’t telling her he was having regrets!
"Because the salesperson put it on for you just now. I took it off because I wanted to put it on your finger myself. After all, that’s more meaningful, isn’t it?" he explained.
He posed the question back to her.
"So that’s why..." Jiang Miaomiao blinked and stretched out her hand to him again, urging, "Then put it on quickly, and also, I accept your proposal!"
She answered before he could even ask the question.
