Chapter 1213 - 1210: Betrothal Gifts 5

Li Zhen obviously didn’t expect it to be so soon, and he kept silent, not knowing what to say.

After a long while, he finally reacted, "Congratulations. Yan Xixi, when is it? I’ll see if I can make it back in time for your wedding."

"In three months."

"Three months later? That’s perfect, I might not be too busy then. And I haven’t been back to the country in a long time, so it’s a good chance to visit my parents."

Finally, Li Zhen couldn’t help asking, "Are you marrying Wan Donglin?"

She paused for a moment but was straightforward: "Yes."

The two fell into a long silence again. Clearly, on the other end of the phone, Li Zhen had exhausted the last bit of forced smile he could muster. He was just dejected, like a traveler walking through a desert, always believing that the mirage of a green oasis was real. So he kept walking under the scorching sun. But in the end, he realized it was fake—there was nothing ahead but scars and emptiness.

A pure-hearted youth, years of unrequited love, finally, at this moment, it settled.

After a long time, he heard her gentle voice, unable to hold back, but still asked: "Li Zhen, do you have any news about Huang Xiaojue?"

"..."

She was very disappointed, her voice very light.

"No news at all? Is he still missing?"

"No! I recently saw Uncle Huang, he’s in good health, and he mentioned you, saying regrettably that it might be hard to see you in the future."

Her voice was strained: "I broke my promise... I originally planned to visit him frequently..."

"No, Yan Xixi, he fully understands your situation. If you hadn’t left promptly back then, you might have faced long-term imprisonment... Yan Xixi, it was wise for you to leave... we all understand..."

From a young man to an adult, experiencing the ups and downs of life in society... he is the only one who has maintained his initial pure heart—throughout, he never had any ill words or deeds towards her, nor did he harbor any resentment.

She silently apologized in her heart: Li Zhen, missing out on you is truly my loss.

After a long while, he said: "Yan Xixi, goodbye, take care of yourself."

She unexpectedly asked: "Li Zhen, in a marriage, what legal issues should one pay attention to?"

He was surprised, clearly not expecting her to ask such a question.

Yet, he was straightforward and immediately told her: "Ordinary marriages don’t have too many legal issues to worry about. But in wealthy families, you must pay attention to the safety of assets. Especially for those who have been divorced before, the integrity and safety of assets are more emphasized. From my experience in C Country and South Country, whether they’re financial giants, wealthy merchants, or Hollywood stars, they all have comprehensive prenuptial agreements. These agreements are clear, with distinct creditor rights, essentially being cautious first. I think, in modern civilized society, between couples, it’s necessary. Because having a prenuptial agreement will reduce many unnecessary disputes in the future..."

For a doctorate in law, handling matters in accordance with the essence of the law is only natural.

He asked: "Is it Wan Donglin who needs to sign a prenuptial agreement with you?"

She casually replied: "I’m just inquiring for now."

"No problem, if you need help, you can show me the agreement."

"Having a Ph.D. look at such a marriage agreement, wouldn’t that be overqualified?"
