Chapter 383 I Want to Marry You, Not Just a Whim

Jiang Xing's heart softened instantly, feeling touched but also a little shy—she was really not someone who could readily accept sweet words.

"This is what Gao Zhu left for you." Jiang Xing pointed to the leather document bag on the coffee table.

"It's for you." Lou Qi gestured for her to look.

Jiang Xing frowned in confusion, then got off Lou Qi's lap and went to open the file folder.

Lou Qi felt his arms suddenly go empty, and his hands, faster than his brain, wanted to pull the person back, but reason prevailed and he held back, his slender fingers clenching in the air.

The leather bag was opened, and the first document inside was... a house donation contract.

The next one is a share grant agreement.

Next, a shop gift contract.

Jiang Xing: "?"

"This is my sincerity, girlfriend." Lou Qi leaned on the sofa with one hand, looking at Jiang Xing with a smile.

Jiang Xing sensed something was amiss and said, "I think this sounds like being kept by a sugar daddy."

"Are you angry?" Lou Qi sat up straight and quickly said, "Gu Yanci also gave these to Wen Yan, and even more. I asked him about it."

Therefore, this kind of "sugar baby" relationship has absolutely nothing to do with each other.

He had originally intended to send a whole bunch more jewelry, but Jiang Xing wasn't interested in jewelry, so he decided against it. He figured there was plenty of time to send jewelry later.

"I'm not angry." Jiang Xing wasn't angry, but he felt confused. However, he found Lou Qi's reaction rather amusing.

Jiang Xing was puzzled: "Why are you suddenly giving me all this? Lou Qi, are you always this generous to women you're dating?"

Lou Qi felt alarm bells ringing in his mind.

Why are we bringing up his past relationships and exes again?

"No!" Lou Qi wanted to slap his past self a few times, but then he laughed in anger. "Little Doctor, I'm rich, not stupid. If I gave houses and shares to everyone, how much money would I have left?"

Jiang Xing nodded seriously: "Indeed, so many exes."

Lou Qi: "..." (I need to focus on the back molars.)

Jiang Xing couldn't help but chuckle. Her smiling gaze was caught by the man, and their eyes met in the air. Jiang Xing burst out laughing.

"Oh, Jiang Xing, you actually made fun of me!" Lou Qi was astonished.

He had always thought Jiang Xing was a well-behaved girl, even though she was a bit rebellious at heart. He never expected that she would deliberately make fun of people and even have a bit of a scheming side!

However, this side of Jiang Xing is even more captivating, as vibrant as ocean waves.

“I don’t need these.” Jiang Xing smiled and steered the conversation back on track. “We are different from President Gu and Yan Yan. They are husband and wife.”

“We can be too,” Lou Qi blurted out.

He spoke too quickly, and as soon as his words fell, only Yu Yin and silence remained in the large living room.

Jiang Xing was taken aback by his words.

Lou Qi felt a brief moment of regret for speaking too quickly, but then he felt relieved and decided to just grab Jiang Xing's hand in a do-or-die manner.

“Jiang Xing, this might not be very formal, but if you’re willing, we can get our marriage certificate today!” He glanced at the time very carefully, “The Civil Affairs Bureau hasn’t closed yet.”

Before Jiang Xing could speak, he added, "I'll give you the proposal ceremony!"

Jiang Xing was speechless: "I haven't even agreed yet, how come you're already talking about having a marriage proposal ceremony?"

"What if?" Lou Qi said with some disappointment. "A-Xing, these things have been prepared since you said you were going to draw lots. I want to marry you, not on a whim. If I can't give you enough security, then I hope to personally deliver the stakes to you."
