The Passerby I Married Is The Richest Man! [Transmigration Into A Book]

Chapter 18 Part 3: Yes, I Do

"What's the matter with you ah? The path is so wide, yet you walk distracted to squeeze in with us, and still raise your wine glass to splash my girlfriend?" Huo Xiang said angrily.

"What's the matter?" Jiang Muyu heard the commotion and came over. She just stood and exchanged glances with that girl who splashed the wine.

"Aiya, Ping Ping, how can you be so careless, unexpectedly splashing wine on Bai Zhen Zhen ah..." Jiang Muyu pretended to reproach her.

The so-called 'Ping Ping' was the woman who a moment ago deliberately poured the wine while pretending to twist her ankle.

She said innocently: "Muyu, I didn't do it on purpose ah! Else, how about we ask your friend how much does her dress cost, I'll pay for it."

"There's no need for that!" Jiang Muyu turned to Bai Zhen Zhen, "isn't it just a dress? Our sister Zhen Zhen is actually the CEO of a certain unknown listed company, is there still a need to pay compensation money for just one dress ah!"

Done speaking, Jiang Muyu laughed together with all those girls in ridicule.

"Isn't that right sister Zhen Zhen?" Jiang Muyu looked at Bai Zhen Zhen again, "or could it be, you're actually not a CEO, and this dress has been rented so you still need to return it? If that's the case, then Ping Ping's compensation money must be given!"

"You girls, what's with this attitude?"

Huo Xiang was about to flip out, but Bai Zhen Zhen held him.

She smiled calmly and said to Jiang Muyu: "Sister Muyu is right, it's just a dress, I don't care."

Done speaking, she looked at Huo Xiang again: "Let's go back, I want to change clothes."

Under Jiang Muyu's complicated gaze, Bai Zhen Zhen left the party keeping her spirit up.

Huo Xiang embraced her shoulders until they came out of the hotel entrance, then couldn't help but ask her: "Why didn't you let me talk back?"

"Do you think you're the only one who can talk back ah?" Bai Zhen Zhen had a smile yet not a smile, "if I start talking back to people, I can be more vicious than anyone."

"Then why did you..."

"I don't want to have too much entanglement with that woman." Bai Zhen Zhen said, "In her mind, I am her enemy, the more we are tit-for-tat, the more she will hate me to the bone. Like that, her schemes will only get more and more poisonous, making me unable to guard against it."

The sense of justice and heroism deep within Huo Xiang suddenly rose.

---Huo Xiang: "These people are practically terrible bullies! I can't wait to become the world's richest man and protect my heroine!"

---System: "Are you sure it's because you want to protect the heroine?"

--- Huo Xiang: "Otherwise?"

---System: "Well...."

Huo Xiang gripped Bai Zhen Zhen's wrist and look at her with a pair of smart eyes with incomparable sincerity and resolution.

"Zhen Zhen, let's get married!"

Bai Zhen Zhen was stunned.

She thought, Huo Xiang might be right. If she didn't get married, those people most likely would not let her live even one day in peace.

So after pondering for a few seconds, she nodded.

When Huo Xiang saw her agreeing his heart was in ecstasy. But before he could continue talking, Bai Zhen Zhen frowned again.

"But..."

Huo Xiang looked nervously at Bai Zhen Zhen, for fear that she would go back and reject it.

"But what?"

"About the money, I can pay back for the dress and then I can only give you 3000." Bai Zhen Zhen said sincerely, "and the first time I already lent you 1000, so I'll pay you in installments, 200 every month, for an entire year. Of course, if you feel it's not high enough..."

"It's enough! I'll do it!" Huo Xiang tearfully agreed.

But in his heart, he was cursing ten thousand times her progenitors.

---What effing kind of heroine was this ah?! So stingy!

Footnotes:

1: here talking back (attack verbally) refers to the very rude way of talking back, basically talking back like a hater.
2: 草泥马, the typical 'grass mud horse' /cǎonímǎ/ that sounds almost the same as /càonǐmā/ 'fuck your mother', but unfortunately I dislike using this translation >.<.
