Chapter 243: The Abstinent Gigolo 43

 As instructed beforehand by Xi Jingtong, Grandma Xi opened the folder placed in front of her.

Unfortunately, she had already forgotten all the complicated explanations he’d given her about company shares and transfers.

But to Grandma Xi, none of that mattered anyway.

The important thing was simple—

These were the betrothal gifts her grandson had prepared.

“This is Xiaotong’s bride price,” Grandma Xi said proudly. “He earned all of it himself. I may not understand what’s written on these papers, but I know Xiaotong is giving Wanwan the best things he has.”

Then she pushed the documents toward Father Tang and Mother Tang.

“You two should take a look first.”

Hearing this, the couple exchanged a glance before nodding.

Father Tang then picked up the file and began reading through it carefully.

But after clearly seeing the contents of the share transfer agreement, surprise immediately flashed across his eyes.

He hadn’t expected Xi Jingtong to actually be the hidden boss behind Dark Horse Security—the company that had suddenly risen to prominence in the city last year.

Father Tang himself had thought highly of the company and had even cooperated with them before.

But he never imagined the company belonged to Xi Jingtong.

According to the agreement, Xi Jingtong personally held fifty-five percent of the company’s shares.

And now—

He was transferring all of it to Tang Wan.

Not only that, there was also a fifty-million-yuan cash gift, along with several properties in prime locations.

Father Tang knew very well that this was practically Xi Jingtong’s entire current net worth.

But what truly impressed him wasn’t the amount of money.

It was Xi Jingtong’s capability.

After all, the man wasn’t even twenty-four yet.

Someone who could build himself up to this level in just a single year would inevitably stand at the top sooner or later.

For a moment, deep satisfaction appeared across Father Tang’s face.

Then he handed the documents to Tang Wan.

“Wanwan, since this is Xiaotong’s sincerity, accept it.”

As he spoke, he couldn’t stop himself from smiling.

Seeing his reaction, both Tang Wan and Xi Jingtong quietly relaxed.

Tang Wan glanced at Xi Jingtong, then accepted the share transfer agreement without any false modesty, smiling as she put it away.

At that point, the marriage between the two of them was officially settled.

…

At lunch, the atmosphere at the dining table was extraordinarily harmonious.

Father Tang and Mother Tang even invited Grandma Xi to stay longer for the holidays, though she politely declined.

…

Afterward came the discussion of the wedding itself.

Although Xi Jingtong was still young, Tang Wan was already nearing thirty. So once the marriage was settled, Father Tang and Mother Tang immediately urged the two of them to register their marriage first.

Naturally, neither Tang Wan nor Xi Jingtong had any objections.

The very next day, the two went straight to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get their marriage certificate.

After walking out of the building, Tang Wan looked at Xi Jingtong and chuckled.

“Please take care of me for the rest of my life, Mr. Xi.”

Xi Jingtong’s heart trembled slightly at her words.

Then he lowered his head, lifted her hand, and kissed it gently.

“There’s no need for advice between us,” he said softly. “Because to me, you’re already the best wife in the world, Mrs. Xi.”

Hearing this, Tang Wan immediately broke into a radiant smile.

And that exact moment happened to be captured by a passing photographer.

After taking the shot, the photographer stared at the image for quite a while before hurriedly chasing after them as they prepared to leave hand in hand.

“Wait! Please wait a moment!” he called out while holding his camera.

Tang Wan and Xi Jingtong paused.

“I’m sorry,” the photographer said quickly. “I took your photo without permission. But please believe me—it was only because the scene just now was so beautiful that I instinctively pressed the shutter.”

Then he nervously showed them the image on his camera.

“This is the photo I just took. If you like it, I can send it to you. And if you feel uncomfortable about it, I’ll delete it immediately.”
