Chapter 1229 - 1226: Qian Chuanzi and Alipay 3

"Men, aren’t they just the same? They say ’I love you’ incessantly yet dread you taking even a bit of advantage, guarding against you like a thief. Is this love?"

"If women believe that lack of material wealth is still love, if they think men not spending money on them is still love... Then, pardon my bluntness: Much like a pauper mocking a rich man, saying ’I have no money, so all I have left is my lofty pride’; like a slave worrying that their master might have high cholesterol... Simply put, it’s thinking oneself noble when in fact, one is just shameless!"

"Let that damned lofty pride go to hell... If we ever have a daughter, I will make sure to tell her: Where a man’s money is, there his heart is too. Money might be dirt, but true feelings are treasures. If he can’t even spare the dirt for you, how would he give you the gems? Stop kidding around, alright? Of course, our daughter won’t need any man’s financial support, but this doesn’t mean men she meets later can have everything for nothing, right?"

"I’m just a common person, also a Qian Chuanzi. My sole measure of true feeling has become whether one is willing to spend money... Xixi, can you understand this? Thus, besides this, I can’t find a better way to prove love..."

"I still believe what Wang Shuo said, if the government truly loves its people, it should make their lives more affluent, freer, more comfortable, safer... Everything else is nonsense. Likewise, for men, truly loving a woman means making her life more affluent, dressing her beautifully, reducing her worries... Everything else is nonsense..."

"Previously, we discussed the essence of marriage on Xingxin. You said that marriage isn’t like the Alipay system where payment is made after satisfaction and where one can request refunds, complain, or have unscrupulous sellers punished; at worst, one can leave a bad review. But with marriage, by the time you realize, the best years of your life have already slipped away..."

"Thus, this property agreement is my guarantee for you. I believe from now on, I shouldn’t have any overly radical thoughts, after all, as a man of my age, quite frankly, I’ve also once passed through the multicolored flowers. Aging, at least I can preserve some dignity. However, life is so long, who can say for sure? Right? Rules do need to bind. Hence, I’ve decided to give the initiative to you—to bind me financially. After all, binding is mutual, isn’t it? Also, I’m audacious enough to hope you’ll bear children for me. Seeking harvest requires giving. If spending money can bring back all I desire, then I’m very willing, and I wouldn’t want more..."

"Alright, Xixi, the above are the things I wanted to say to you. Thousands of words, but truly jumbled. Yet one thing, I will always be sure of: I love you, I never regret choosing you as my wife. Naturally, I also have my extravagant wish: that ten, twenty years down the line, you smile and tell me: ’Crude man, I’ve never regretted marrying you!’ If it can be so, what more could I ask for?"

...

Initially, Yan Xixi cried bitterly, but slowly her tears halted, only blurring the words.

She placed the thick stack of documents on the desk and leaned back in her chair.

So, this is how it is.
