"Yes, yes," Ye Xingli nodded repeatedly, indignantly saying, "My parents are still alive, and she’s already thinking about how to divide their inheritance in the future. It’s disgusting! If I marry her, after my parents pass, she would definitely urge to fight our brother to the death over it, and if I don’t fight, she’d resent for being spineless and a failure. I’d rather be single for life than marry a woman like that!"
"Hmm, Brother Li, you’re right," Ye Xingbei said, "But what’s that got to do with you disguising yourself as an ordinary person?"
"I know, I know," Xiao Shumiao raised his hand to quickly answer again, "Uncle must want to pretend to be a poor man, then find a girl who’s not materialistic. That’s how it is in idol dramas! In idol dramas, this is called... called..."
Xiao Shumiao couldn’t rember, so he turned to Lingyue for help: "Brother Xiaoyue, what’s it called?"
Lingyue said, "Frog turns into a prince."
"Yes, yes, yes," Xiao Shumiao said, "That’s what it’s called! It’s when the prince pretends to be poor to date the princess, and then lots of people mock the prince, saying he’s like a toad lusting after swan at. Then one day, the prince’s true identity is exposed to everyone, and the onlookers are all slapped in the face, exclaiming, ’Wow, turns out he’s not a toad, he’s a prince!’"
Ye Xingbei: "...What a bunch of nonsense? Gu Yiyang, let warn you seriously, from now on, you must ask for my permission before watching TV!"
Xiao Shumiao obediently nodded: "Alright, Mom, you can watch with ."
Ye Xingbei: "..."
Her son was so obedient.
But she didn’t need that!
She looked at Ye Xingli: "Is that what Xiao Shu ant?"
"More or less!" Ye Xingli said, prideful and spirited, "Anyway, I just want to be an ordinary person, live an ordinary life, and find a girlfriend who loves for who I am, not my money!"
"..." Ye Xingbei looked at him, not knowing what to say for the mont.
Ye Xingli eagerly asked Ye Xingbei, "Beibei, do you think I look like an ordinary person dressed like this?"
Ye Xingbei asked him back, "Brother Li, are you busy right now?"
"Not at all!" Ye Xingli said, "Brother Lan gave three months; he said if I can find a reliable girlfriend and maintain a stable relationship within three months, he’ll give another half-year off to prepare for marriage. After I get married, he’ll give another year off to have a child, and once I have a child, he’ll give another year off to raise it! If I perform well, he’ll let live without working for a lifeti and keep supporting !"
Xiao Shumiao said, "Uncle, you can’t have babies, won have babies."
"It’s all the sa, all the sa!" Ye Xingli excitedly waved his hand, "As long as it’s my child, it’s fine!"
His eyes shone with excitent, as if he was about to ascend to happiness: "Beibei, our brother said as long as I marry a good wife and have lots of children, I can live without working for a lifeti! Beibei, did you hear that? It’s living without working for a lifeti!"
If Gu Junzhu hadn’t been standing right beside Ye Xingbei, he would’ve grabbed her shoulders and shaken her to express his overwhelming excitent.
"I understand," Ye Xingbei clicked her tongue, "Brother Lan is really going all out to avoid getting married himself."
