After transmigrating into the body of a widow, I became the richest man in the capital.

Chapter 517 Pretending to be a Girlfriend

Upon hearing this, Su Xiaoxiao also became interested.

"That sounds great! Let's have a drink together. Drinking at home is no fun, how about we go to the little tavern in town?"

Today's events actually made Su Xiaoxiao very happy, as she finally resolved a major problem.

On the way to the small tavern in town, Song Ziyang asked Su Xiaoxiao a question with great confusion.

"Although Miss Su looked kind, I never expected that she would actually be such a kind person."

"what happened?"

"You actually told the villagers about that secret treasure? Aren't you being a bit too generous?"

Su Xiaoxiao laughed loudly, "No, I think some things, if they're yours, no one can take them away from you. But if they don't belong to you, it's better to share them with everyone. Besides, this cave was discovered in Wangshui Village, so it naturally belongs to them, there's no doubt about it."

Qian Musheng, listening from the side, was surprised that Su Xiaoxiao had such a thoughtful approach. Such an open-minded attitude was commendable; at least Su Xiaoxiao wasn't selfish. Have you ever heard the myth about the man who retrieved several axes from a river? It was because he wasn't greedy and openly admitted that what he'd fallen into the river wasn't a golden or silver axe, but just an ordinary, slightly chipped, rusty axe, that he received divine help.

Those who remained greedy all ultimately lost their lives because of their greed.

From this perspective, one should not be greedy.

Su Xiaoxiao was actually right to do what she did.

Qian Musheng and Song Ziyang couldn't help but give Su Xiaoxiao a thumbs up. They were truly impressed. They probably couldn't have done that themselves.

For some reason, both of them felt that Su Xiaoxiao now seemed much more impressive. Su Xiaoxiao once again expressed her gratitude to Song Ziyang, "This time, you helped me get the villagers to accept my Little Tiger, and it's all thanks to you!"

Song Ziyang quickly waved his hand and said, "No way! I was just telling the truth. Don't think of it that way. Actually, it's my honor to be able to help you, Miss Su."

As he spoke, Qian Musheng noticed that Song Ziyang's face was a little red, and he was grinning from ear to ear. This kid was up to something.

Qian Musheng can now immediately raise a red flag for any man who appears around Su Xiaoxiao.

He deliberately walked between the two of them, separating them.

Su Xiaoxiao was taken aback and looked at Qian Musheng with a "what's wrong with you?" expression.

"Su Xiaoxiao, do you know which tavern in this town has good food? Don't take us to one that's not good."

Upon hearing this, Su Xiaoxiao said confidently, "Even if you haven't eaten there, it doesn't matter. Just look at which store has a long queue, and you can tell which store is good."

This interruption completely ruined what Song Ziyang was about to say.

With no other option, they had to continue following Su Xiaoxiao and the other person towards the town.

They arrived at the largest restaurant in town, but saw no one in line. However, even this largest restaurant only had a few scattered customers inside.

Su Xiaoxiao gave an awkward laugh. "This place is still not as good as the capital. Although I've never eaten here before, I believe there's a reason why it's expensive."

During the meal, Su Xiaoxiao toasted Song Ziyang, saying, "Young Master Song, I really have to say it again: it's all thanks to you. Otherwise, I really don't know how I would have gotten off that rock. Although the villagers seem simple and honest, if they teamed up, they could have eaten me alive. My legs were shaking when I was speaking up there." Su Xiaoxiao wasn't lying; she was genuinely afraid that the villagers would unite and might even have forked her and Xiaohuzi out of the village together.

Song Ziyang was almost overwhelmed by Su Xiaoxiao's cuteness, and his gaze towards her unconsciously softened.

"I don't know how to thank you enough, boss. Please add another serving of sweet and sour pork to our table."

Su Xiaoxiao's mouth was covered in oil from eating, but she was actually very grateful to Song Ziyang.

"Young Master Song, you want to try Guo Bao Rou? It's my favorite dish of all time. You should try it; it's the best dish in our area."

Song Ziyang actually doesn't like greasy food. His family is incredibly wealthy, and he's seen all kinds of delicious food.

He only ate a few bites of the side dishes, and it seemed he didn't really like them. Su Xiaoxiao was quite anxious and wanted to pick up the menu again to order other dishes.

Song Ziyang quickly stopped her.

After hesitating for a moment, Song Ziyang blushed and spoke.

"If Miss Su really wants to thank me, how about doing me a small favor?"

Su Xiaoxiao immediately put down her chopsticks. "Speak, what is it, Young Master Song? As long as it's within my power, I will definitely do my best."

"Miss Su, will you be my wife?"

Su Xiaoxiao's mouth was full of sweet and sour pork, and she almost spat a mouthful of meat onto Song Ziyang's face.

"What did you say?"

Qian Musheng, who was standing to the side, did not expect his old classmate to "speak so recklessly." Wasn't it a bit too abrupt to say such a thing?
Logically speaking, Song Ziyang, like himself, was a scholar, and he would never say things that were inappropriate for the occasion.

"This, this is too much!"

Su Xiaoxiao was also stunned, and it took her a while to squeeze out these words.

Su Xiaoxiao thought to herself, "Isn't this ancient way of proposing marriage a bit too abrupt? We've only known each other for four days now, how come he's already proposing?"

Although Young Master Song is handsome and comes from a wealthy family, making him Su Xiaoxiao's ideal husband, is it really necessary?

"Young Master Song, that's not a good way to talk. You're not joking, are you?"

Upon seeing this, Song Ziyang quickly blushed and explained, "Actually, the thing is like this..."

“My grandmother’s birthday is in a few days. She’s seventy-three this year and always feels like her days are numbered. She wants to see me get married and have children, but I don’t have a partner yet. So I came up with this idea: I want Miss Su to accompany me back to my grandmother’s birthday banquet as my wife. What do you think? Consider it a favor.”

"This……"

After hearing this, Su Xiaoxiao finally understood, but she still looked troubled.

It seems like I've always seen this kind of plot in the TV dramas I've watched before. I never thought I'd be making a cameo appearance as someone's wife.
While Su Xiaoxiao was lost in thought, Song Ziyang hurriedly explained, "Please rest assured, Miss Su, what I meant by 'becoming my wife' was actually that I wanted you to act with me for my grandmother. It's also to fulfill her wish. But don't worry, Miss Su, I will definitely behave myself and won't do anything inappropriate."
