Chapter 1034: The Flash Marriage Heiress (18)

 【And another thing, Host-sama, why are you spoiling him so much by hiring a housekeeper? Are you hoping he'll fall in love with you?】

"Probably not. The person he loves most will only ever be Qian Beibei."

【Then why?】

"Obviously, to spoil him rotten. I want him to get used to a life where clothes are handed to him and meals appear on the table, with a housekeeper taking care of everything." Tang Guo rolled her eyes. "There's a saying—it's easy to go from hardship to luxury, but hard to go from luxury back to hardship."

"I'm merely being a qualified wife. Since I have the money to hire a housekeeper to serve him, why should I exhaust myself? If I didn't have the money, I'd have to do it myself, and I certainly wouldn't be willing."

System: Heh...

Is this host a dog or something?

Once Luo Yicheng became accustomed to this sort of life, how could he possibly adapt to life with Qian Beibei later? He'd probably end up comparing the two in everything.

Daily life wasn't sweet romance.

Even if Luo Yicheng didn't love Host-sama, he would still remember how well she had treated him.

Damn it, this woman was terrifying.

Especially a woman like Host-sama. Better never offend her.

One wrong move, and she'd attack the heart.

Another wrong move, and she'd drown you with praise.

Even an ordinary slice-of-life drama would become a horror story in her hands.

While Tang Guo happily hired a housekeeper to take care of Luo Yicheng and occasionally motivated him with a few encouraging words, Luo Yicheng was practically overflowing with enthusiasm. His mind was full of making money and starting his own business.

The Qian family, however, was far from peaceful.

None of them had expected Luo Yicheng to really pull another girl into marriage on the very same day.

Neither had Qian Beibei imagined that Luo Yicheng would actually marry Tang Guo and even register their marriage immediately.

Whenever she thought back to that day, her heart twisted with pain and regret.

She never should have said those words.

Ten days had already passed. Unable to swallow her pride, she hadn't gone looking for Luo Yicheng.

Yet Luo Yicheng hadn't come looking for her either.

Because of what had happened, she had become the laughingstock among relatives, friends, and colleagues.

How could she have predicted that Luo Yicheng truly wouldn't marry her?

In truth, even her mother, Niu Jinlan, hadn't expected it.

In her mind, with how deeply Luo Yicheng loved Beibei, he would have borrowed money or taken out loans if necessary to gather those six hundred and sixty thousand yuan in bride price.

Who would've thought he'd simply give up on Beibei and marry that Tang family heiress instead?

Niu Jinlan also felt some regret.

She regretted not arranging a match for Qian Beibei with a local city man sooner. Maybe he wouldn't have been as handsome as Luo Yicheng, but at least he would have had houses, shops, and a high-paying job. How was that not better?

Now Qian Beibei had lost face, and the matter had spread everywhere.

She had even taken half a month's leave from work.

These past few days, she couldn't eat and had become painfully thin.

And who was to blame?

Naturally, Luo Yicheng.

If he hadn't gone too far, would Beibei have become like this? Would the Qian family have lost face?

"Beibei, what's so great about Luo Yicheng anyway?" Seeing her daughter's gloomy expression, Niu Jinlan couldn't help saying, "Actually, this incident let us see his true colors. It's fortunate you didn't marry him. Give it some time, and Mom will introduce you to someone even better. Someone hundreds of times better than Luo Yicheng. With your looks, Beibei, are you really afraid nobody will want you?"

Qian Beibei raised her head.

"Mom, have you ever reflected on why Luo Yicheng refused to marry me and made that choice that day?"
