However, Qiao Yi didn't hesitate at all, "Aren't I always living a good life?"
"You have to pay off the mortgage every month for thirty years, and you have to eat and live frugally every month. You can't buy luxury goods, you can't spend money as you please, and you can't be like other women who don't have to worry about food and clothing. Do you think this is a good day?"
Qiao Yi kept pursuing the matter, but Qiao Yi remained very calm.
She inserted her fingers into his, interlacing her fingers with each other. She was very skilled at doing this.
"Hubby, if I want a lot of money, if I want a good day like my colleagues do, then you're not the one standing next to me today."
Qiao Yi calmly explained to Lu Jingyun. Her eyes were also looking into Lu Jingyun's eyes the entire time, without dodging in the slightest.
She didn't know why Lu Jingyun would ask that. Maybe he was lacking in security, maybe he was under a lot of pressure, but she wouldn't let Lu Jingyun not have confidence in her. Since the two of them had become husband and wife, there must be no need to hide the intersection of their hearts.
As Lu Jingyun's wife, she had to let him completely understand what kind of person he was, and what kind of heart he had.
Lu Jingyun looked at Qiao Yi's calm and pure eyes, and couldn't help but curl up the corner of his mouth, the tension between his brows softening by a lot.
Perhaps it was because he had always been too satisfied with this marriage, but he always felt that it was not real.
His original thirty years of life had never been so calm and simple before, so these three months of simplicity had often made him panic. There were still many times where he found it hard to believe that Qiao Yi was truly such a simple girl.
However, every time he saw Qiao Yi's pure eyes and smile due to him, he thought that Qiao Yi was overthinking things. Right now, he was just an ordinary little clerk Lu Jingyun. He was confident that he was never someone who could truly know what kind of person he was with an identity like Qiao Yi's.
Maybe it was because he deeply rooted his shrewdness deep down in his bones, or maybe it was because he felt guilty towards such a simple "cheating marriage" like Qiao Yi, Lu Jingyun couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
For a girl like Qiao Yi, to choose the current him, a man who had nothing and lived a stressful life, his heart would always feel a little weird.
Especially when he saw how the girls around Qiao Yi all wanted to throw him into the whirlpool of so-called "rich and handsome", he felt that although a girl like Qiao Yi was extremely precious, she could also be so shrewd that she had even tricked him.
But in front of his eyes, he once again saw his disgust from Qiao Yi's eyes.
"Yi Yi." Lu Jingyun hid the suspicion in his eyes and sighed: "I'm so happy to have a wife like you."
Qiao Yi laughed, and in his heart, he was already certain that Lu Jingyun was sighing because of the stress of his work.
"Hubby, don't put too much pressure on me. We have a family now, too. Although the amount of money earned was not much, it was more than enough to earn! In this world, people still make up the majority of people who live like us. We are ordinary people, so it's good that we are living a normal life."
Lu Jingyun gave a low laugh, "Alright, that sentence of yours was more than enough, it made me feel relieved."
"That's what I should think." Qiao Yi emphasized, "Don't think too much into it in the future, I'm not a prodigal woman.
Her threat made her cheeks bulge, her eyes wanted to use her threatening power, but in Lu Jingyun's eyes, she was extremely cute.
He could not help but lower his head and bite her cheek. Then, while laughing loudly, he ignored Qiao Yi's glare and pulled her home.
This was reality. The marriage he had now and the life he had as a citizen were the truth of his life now.
Lu Jingyun didn't know how long this life would last, but he was certain that this kind of life would be a beautiful memory that he would never be able to forget for the rest of his life.
"Darling, darlings ..." Lu Jingyun hugged her and smiled. He was happy and satisfied.
On Friday night, after getting off work, Qiao Yi did not wait for Lu Jingyun to come along. He still had to work overtime.
As she held the clothes that she bought for Lu Jingyun, she thought about how she would try on his clothes at night.
Qiao Yi laughed happily. Just as he climbed up the stairs, he saw a woman sitting in front of his house.
When the woman heard the footsteps and saw Qiao Yi's smile, she taunted him without restraint.
"You can still smile so foolishly. It seems like your life after marriage is very comfortable!"
"Smile?"
Qiao Yi did not mind her taunts at all, but instead, went forward in surprise and pulled her hand, while the lady leaned on her powerlessly.
"What are you laughing so foolishly for? Hurry up and open the door and cook for me. I'm starving."
"Alright." The moment Qiao Yi opened the door, the Xiaoxiao had already entered, kicking off the seven to eight centimeter high heels she called out to him. She walked in barefooted, lying down powerlessly on the sofa in the small living room.
Qiao Yi smiled from start to end as he placed the shoes that he was smiling at behind him. He then took out a pair of slippers from the shoe shelf and placed it beside the sofa, putting away the bag and clothes in his hands and poured her a cup of warm water.
"Drink some water first. I'll cook whatever you want to eat."
