Martial arts have become extinct worldwide, yet I am forced to have a large family.

"Bai Chuyi?"

Yang Xian was stunned for a moment, and related memories instantly surfaced in his mind.

She was the original owner's childhood sweetheart, and she liked to follow behind the original owner since they were children.

Of course, what impressed me most was how much Bai Chuyi could eat!

Their two families are so close they're practically inseparable.

Bai Chuyi's mother passed away early. A few years ago, her unreliable father said he was going to do big business in another city, so he took Bai Chuyi with him.

It had been several years since the two had last seen each other.

"Why so suddenly? Wasn't Uncle Bai making a fortune outside?"

Yang Xian was a little puzzled, so he sent a message back.

That's why it's called an emergency!

[Let me tell you a secret, your Uncle Bai lost so much money in business those years that he almost had nothing left, and even owed a huge sum of money.]

So, he brought Xiaobai to me and then ran off to lay low outside.

Before leaving, he even accepted our family's betrothal gifts.

It only cost our family 20,000 yuan!

In other words, Bai Chuyi is now your wife, so you'd better treat her well from now on.

Yang Xian: ? ? ?

No!

Let me sort this out!

I just escaped death from a battle between two women, and I haven't even had a hot meal yet.

You old bastard, you've been right behind me all this time, arranging all my wives for me?

Is that correct?

And Uncle Bai too...

He sold his own daughter, whom he had raised, for 20,000 yuan?

"Dad, why didn't you ask for my opinion beforehand about such a big decision?"

"Have you considered your son's feelings?"

Yang Xian gave a wry smile and frantically tapped the screen with his fingers.

Even your mom has agreed to this, so just accept reality!

Besides, hasn't the policy been relaxed already?

As for your high school girlfriend, you can just marry her too!

As the father, I know how formidable the Yang family is.

"You're not going to become a martial artist anyway. Two wives are nothing to you, a piece of cake!"

Of course, whether or not a fire breaks out in the harem depends on your own abilities.

Yang Xian: "..."

Makes for show!

If I were capable, would I need you to find me a wife?

Everyone is trying their best to survive!

"That's true, but isn't this a bit too casual? Does Xiaobai even know about this?"

Yang Xian is typing.

She doesn't know yet.

But don't you know what kind of person that child is? She's always loved following you around since she was little; of course we can tell she likes you.

Old Bai told me that when she found out she was going to go to school with you, she was so happy she ate three extra bowls of rice!

Yang Xian: That's really great.

Son, the bride price has already been paid; this matter is no longer up to you!

Just give in.

"Alright! This conversation is ruined."

Yang Xian put his phone away and resigned himself to his fate.

The most important thing now is to go to the train station to pick up Bai Chuyi.

------

Nanhai A District Railway Station.

The station exit was bustling with people. Yang Xian stood at the agreed-upon spot, searching for the figure from his memory.

"It's been years since we last met, she should still recognize me, right?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than his gaze was drawn to a figure.

The girl wore a large white sun hat, and her long, light blue hair reached her waist.

She was wearing a simple dress, the hem of which swayed gently as she walked.

Those eyes were clear, and she had a slightly naive and innocent look.

The girl dragged a suitcase and looked around.

It seems they are also looking for someone.

"That hair color..."

"Could it be her?"

Yang Xian opened his mouth.

How come she's evolved into such a beautiful girl in just a few years?

It is said that girls change a lot as they grow up and become more and more beautiful.

This person is so different from the one I remember!

"Da Yang, it's been a long time."

While Yang Xian was still in a daze, the girl had already arrived in front of him.

"Hmm...long time no see, Xiaobai." Yang Xian's pupils refocused at this moment.

Uncle Bai, this 20,000 yuan dowry is too little...

bah bah bah!

What am I thinking?

"Uh, sorry, Xiaobai, you've changed so much, I didn't recognize you at first."

Yang Xian took the girl's suitcase to cover up his embarrassment.

"Da Yang...don't you remember me?" Bai Chuyi lowered her head silently. "But I still remember Da Yang..."

"No, no, no! I mean, you've become more beautiful!"

"So... was it because I wasn't pretty enough before that Da Yang disliked me?"

"No, no!" Yang Xian coughed lightly. "You used to be cute, now you're beautiful. I like both of you!"

"Then why didn't Da Yang recognize me?"

Yang Xian: "..."

Can't we change the subject?

This is impossible to talk about!

That's because...because...

Yang Xian's brain was working at full speed, his palms sweating. "Because you've grown up and become more mature!"

Bai Chuyi nodded as if she understood, "Yes, I eat well every day."

"This topic is finally over."

Yang Xian secretly wiped away a bead of sweat and muttered to himself.

Okay, that's a very Bai Chuyi-esque answer.

She's become prettier, but her brain hasn't changed; she's still a bit silly and cute, and she still loves to eat.

"Gurgle—"

Just then, a rumbling sound broke the slightly awkward atmosphere.

Yang Xian instinctively covered his stomach, only to find that the sound wasn't coming from his direction.

He looked at Bai Chuyi, his eyes full of doubt, "Bai, didn't you eat breakfast this morning?"

"Hmm...it's been a long car ride."

"But we can't go hungry!" Yang Xian rubbed his head. "There should be snacks for sale on the bus."

But the girl's voice became even softer.

"I... have no money..."

"And Dad said we should eat less lately, because we're so poor we can't even afford to eat."

Yang Xian's lips twitched.

Oh, I forgot, Uncle Bai has lost so much money he doesn't even have his underwear left.

"Let's go eat first."

Yang Xian pulled his suitcase and walked ahead.

"Mmm." Bai Chuyi silently followed beside Yang Xian and then took his hand.

"Oh right..." Yang Xian suddenly pulled a bank card out of his pocket.

The card was given to him by Luo Bingyan.

He didn't spend a single penny of the 100,000 yuan inside.

"Xiao Bai, you can take this card and spend it first."

"How can you get by without money when you're traveling?"

Yang Xian handed the card to Bai Chuyi in a very natural tone.

As the other party's fiancé... cough, brother.

We still need to take better care of them.

What's more, the other party is a girl who has a particularly large appetite.

We can't go hungry every day just because we don't have money, can we?

Bai Chuyi held the bank card and tilted her head.

"Da Yang..."

"Um."

Are you... keeping me as a sugar daddy/sugar baby?

"???"
