Cheng Ji drove the person to the largest department store in Beijing.

"Although it's a bit rushed, you should have what others have too."

Fu Yao looked at the man's serious eyes and nodded with a smile.

"Cheng Ji, thank you!"

The gentle female voice reached Cheng Ji's ears and sounded extremely pleasant.

At this time, the "three turns and one sound" (referring to a watch, a radio, a bicycle, and a bicycle) are all the rage, so Cheng Ji took Fu Yao to the watch counter first.

The two were lucky; a new batch of "Shanghai" brand watches had just arrived at the counter.

"Take this out and let's take a look!" Cheng Ji pointed to the glass counter.

"Comrade, you have excellent taste. This is our latest model. With the ticket, the price is one hundred and twenty-five yuan."

"Hiss!" Fu Yao gasped upon hearing this.

One hundred and twenty-five yuan—that's almost a year's salary for her as a substitute teacher in the countryside.

Cheng Ji nodded; he was quite satisfied with the price.

In his eyes, his wife deserves the best of everything.

"Here, try it on." Cheng Ji handed the watch to Fu Yao.

"No need, I feel this is too expensive!" Fu Yao waved her hand. Everyone likes beautiful things, but this price is really too high, and she feels unworthy of it.

"It's not expensive. Let's try it first and see if it suits us."

Cheng Ji didn't miss the look of amazement in Fu Yao's eyes. Seeing that Fu Yao refused to wear it, she simply pulled the girl's wrist and put the watch on.

He said that the girl had fair skin and this would look good on her. Cheng Ji looked at the watch on Fu Yao's wrist and nodded with great satisfaction.

The sales clerk next to him was also very supportive, saying, "Comrade, you have fair skin, and this watch looks really good on you."

"This watch is a bit expensive, but your husband's sentiment is even more precious!"

Fu Yao carefully touched the exquisite watch face, looked at Cheng Ji with a smile on his lips, and said "thank you" shyly.

"Don't thank me, let's go check out something else."

Seeing Fu Yao's bright eyes and sweet smile, Cheng Ji slowly relaxed.

He didn't have much experience interacting with women, but fortunately Fu Yao was willing to accept it.

Cheng Ji wanted to buy the other three items while the opportunity was still fresh, but this time he wasn't so lucky.

Aside from sewing machines, which are readily available, bicycles and tape recorders require waiting.

Cheng Ji looked at the colorful, unspent tickets in his hand and sighed helplessly. He had specifically asked the old man for them!

Fu Yao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. There was no other reason than that Cheng Ji was simply too extravagant when it came to buying things.

They picked the most expensive items for everything, making Fu Yao's eyelids twitch.

Although it's called a betrothal gift, in their rural area, having even one of the four essential items (of an item) is considered quite good.

It's extremely rare to find someone who can buy all three essential items like a watch, a radio, a dial-up camera, and a microphone.

Despite saying that, Fu Yao was still very happy.

It's a good thing that Cheng Ji values ​​her.

I used to hear people in the village say that whether a man loves you or not, aside from sex, depends on whether he's willing to spend money on you.

Clearly, Cheng Ji is in this category, and among the best.

Fu Yao had never been in a relationship and knew very little about these things between men and women. But she wasn't stupid; she could see Cheng Ji's seriousness.

Cheng Ji was unaware of Fu Yao's thoughts. After moving the sewing machine to the car, he excitedly took Fu Yao to the clothing section on the second floor.

"Let's go check out the new clothes first."

The clothing counters weren't so empty anymore; they were completely covered with clothes hanging on the wall.

Cheng Ji has good eyesight and spotted a light pink dress hanging at the very top from afar.

"Look, do you like it? I heard them say that this Dacron fabric is comfortable."

You can't try on the clothes right now; the salesperson will only take them down for you once you're sure you want them.

Fu Yao looked up and glanced at it, a hint of amazement flashing in his eyes.

The large pointed collar, the crisp fabric, and the unusual light pink color make it look both fashionable and elegant.

"Don't worry about money, today is our big day. Besides, we're going to see my grandfather today, so dress up nicely, he'll be happy."

Fu Yao's conflicted expression was easy to understand. Cheng Ji chuckled and waved to the sales clerk.

"Hello, I'd like one of these dresses, a small size would be fine."

"Fifteen yuan a piece, plus a ticket. Are you sure you want it?" The ticket seller, who was cracking sunflower seeds at the counter, looked up casually.

Upon seeing Cheng Ji's military uniform, his expression immediately changed from critical to respectful.

"Okay, comrade, I'll get it for you right away."

Upon hearing the price, Fu Yao silently gasped.

She glanced at the finished fabrics displayed in the counter and silently began to make her own plans.

Cheng Ji has been so good to her, she should repay him somehow. Why don't she make him a suit? She just happened to have bought a sewing machine.

Fu Yao was just thinking about what color fabric to choose when he heard Cheng Ji's incredibly "thoughtful" words.

"Comrade, could you please alter my bra size?"

Seeing the ambiguous gazes of the two sales clerks opposite him as they stared at his chest, Fu Yao's face flushed red instantly.

How shameless of you to say such a thing.

"What are you doing? I can fix it myself..." Fu Yao stomped her foot angrily, then grabbed Cheng Ji's sleeve and whispered.

After being glared at by Fu Yao several times, Cheng Ji touched his nose and quickly begged for forgiveness.

"I'm sorry, I'll not do it again."

Fu Yao gave a coquettish snort, ignored him, and followed the saleswoman inside to change into a dress.

Although she was mentally prepared, Cheng Ji was still greatly amazed when Fu Yao came out.

Fu Yao was already fair-skinned, and wearing this light pink dress made her look even more like a peeled egg, glowing white.

Just as Cheng Ji had predicted, her chest was indeed very full. But her waist was extremely thin; even the smallest size had some room to spare.

Fu Yao looked at himself in the mirror and was completely stunned.

She was attractive and had a voluptuous figure. Back in the village, she was often gossiped about and called a "slut." In addition, she had to work, so she rarely wore such bright colors.

But she's only twenty-three years old, how could she not like such beautiful clothes?

Fu Yao lifted her skirt, looking left and right, extremely happy.

"Comrade, you look absolutely stunning. Look how infatuated you are with your husband."

The saleswoman holding the mirror spoke quickly and chuckled.

Fu Yao's face flushed again from the teasing.

Cheng Ji was indeed captivated. If they weren't outside, he would have loved to pull Fu Yao over and kiss him.

He coughed lightly, trying to suppress the little wild beast within him.

Fu Yao felt a little shy under Cheng Ji's direct gaze, so he pulled her out the door.

Since it was still early, Cheng Ji took Fu Yao back to the school's staff quarters to put away the sewing machine.

While Cheng Ji was introducing the school to Fu Yao, Sun Qianqian and Liu Shaoqing were not getting along so well.

"Liu Shaoqing, how come you can't even do something this simple right?"

Sun Qianqian was furious when she saw Liu Shaoqing, who was bowing his head and remaining silent.

Not only did they fail to send that little bitch back to her hometown, they also thoroughly offended Cheng Ji.

Now that we've given Cheng Ji such a huge handle on us, if her father finds out, he'll be furious!

"Good wife, good wife, I was wrong, I was wrong. I don't know why that little bitch Fu Yao suddenly switched sides."

"Don't worry, I've already called my parents. The village will definitely not be a witness for her, and no one will listen to what she says."

"Moreover, as long as I can persuade Fu Yao to come back and not divorce Cheng Ji, Cheng Ji will still die."

As Liu Shaoqing bent down to explain, he also fawned over Sun Qianqian by pressing her shoulders.

"Hmph, at least you have some brains. So what are you planning to do next? You're not going to be reluctant to part with that little bitch, are you?"

Sun Qianqian felt a tightness in her chest whenever she thought of Fu Yao.

A girl from the countryside, exposed to the wind and sun every day, is so beautiful. She spends so much money on skincare, yet her skin is still terrible.

Recalling the tall figure she had secretly seen yesterday, and looking at her own short and plump figure, Sun Qianqian's jealousy became even more obvious. She was determined to make Fu Yao return to his hometown in disgrace.

"How could that be? I hate her so much. Can't she just behave? Why does she have to make me get scolded by Uncle Wang?"

Recalling Wang Guangming's sarcastic remarks from that morning, Liu Shaoqing gritted his teeth in hatred.

Since marrying Sun Qianqian, he hadn't been humiliated like this in a long time. And all of this was because of Fu Yao.

"Alright, leave the rest to me! You better behave yourself these next few days and don't let Cheng Ji find anything against you. He's not someone to be trifled with."

After Sun Qianqian finished speaking, she walked towards the phone booth with a "clack-clack-clack" sound in her high heels.

As for Liu Shaoqing, he planned to go to the guesthouse again to see Fu Yao. Fu Yao hadn't sided with him then, undoubtedly because he had been threatened by Cheng Ji.

As long as he appeals to his emotions and reasons with him, Fu Yao will definitely listen to him.

Let's see what Cheng Ji says then.

Liu Shaoqing lay on the sofa, feeling more and more happy as she thought about it.

The car slowly drove into the campus. Cheng Ji helped Fu Yao register her information at the gate before going inside.

The school is large, divided into two parts: the teaching area in the front and the staff quarters in the back. In the middle is the common activity area, which houses the auditorium, service center, public bathrooms, and canteen.

It was right when the students were starting class, so the road was quiet and the traffic was smooth.

Cheng Ji drove slowly, introducing the school to Fu Yao along the way.

Fu Yao listened attentively, glancing outside every now and then. This was the place where she would be living for the rest of her life, so she had to remember it well.

As Cheng Ji watched the little girl in the passenger seat nod her head little by little, his tough guy heart instantly melted into tenderness.

How can there be such a well-behaved girl?

Thinking of the female soldiers in the army who were always arm wrestling with men, and then looking at his obedient little wife, Cheng Ji felt incredibly happy.

After navigating two bends, the car slowly drove into the residential compound. It wasn't so quiet there anymore; people were chatting, doing laundry, and even disciplining their children—it was quite lively.

Fu Yao smiled as he watched the lively scene in the courtyard.

To be honest, when she saw the solemn and dignified teaching building in front of her, she held her breath and dared not speak loudly, for fear of disturbing them.

It's much better here. Although I still don't know anyone, there's a lively atmosphere here. I can take it slow.

After she has her babies, she'll probably be chasing them all over the yard.

Thinking of this, Fu Yao couldn't help but smile happily.
