I've Already Snagged a Top-tier Goddess at the Start; I'm Incredibly Wealthy!

123: A powerful white moonlight?Li Shuang tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, looking as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

She was the one who organized this gathering, and she was also the one who suggested setting the two of them up.

Originally, she hadn’t held much hope, but now it seemed Li Qian was very willing.

Just a moment ago, she said she didn’t think much of Cao Lang, but now she was already impatient to lead the conversation in that direction.

Women are all very realistic!

”Cao Lang, since we’re all old classmates, I’ll get straight to the point.”

Li Shuang put down her chopsticks and, like someone who had seen it all, spoke to Cao Lang with a serious face:

”You’re 27 now, and Li Qian is 29. Neither of you is young anymore!”

”In my personal opinion, you two are a perfect match! You know each other’s backgrounds, you’re from the same county, so it’ll be convenient to go home together.”

”After you two get married, have a child early to carry on the Cao family line. You’re an orphan, so no one tells you these things. As your old classmate, I have an obligation to urge you!”

At this moment, Li Shuang was like a nagging old mother.

In the years since she got married, the daily grind of domestic life had shaped her own unique worldview.

When she said this, she was so immersed in the role of Cao Lang’s mother that she even spoke with a thick dialect accent.

Li Qian was embarrassed by the words but didn’t refute them; instead, she stole a few glances at Cao Lang.

She was used to the life of a modern city woman; having children still felt very far away to her.

However, if they could get married, she could consider it... Cao Lang smiled and didn’t say anything, thinking that Li Shuang was just being overly concerned about him.

Seeing this, Li Shuang thought Cao Lang was seriously considering it and continued to persuade him:

”I can tell you’re very energetic; you must have hooked up with quite a few girls, right?”

”But sooner or later, you need to settle down. Shanghai isn’t a place to stay forever. I suggest you move back to Jianghai City, buy a house, and be my neighbor.”

”Keep the benefits within the circle. How great is Qianer? She’s beautiful and has a great figure; she’s definitely a good woman for a domestic life! Think about it.”

Li Shuang held Li Qian’s hand, becoming increasingly enthusiastic.

These words were spoken with sincerity and no ulterior motives.

But they were too blunt!

So much so that they carried a commanding tone.

Li Shuang then asked Li Qian forcefully:

”Qianer, are you willing to go back to Jianghai City to work with Cao Lang?”

”Ah, we haven’t even written the first stroke yet.”

Li Qian felt a bit shy, but she harbored great expectations in her heart.

”That first stroke? I’ve already drawn it for you!”

”You and Cao Lang are really a good match. Come on, add each other on green bubble and have a good chat tonight.”

...Cao Lang was a bit puzzled. He felt that the Li Shuang from just now was somewhat different from the Li Shuang in his memory.

The white moonlight in his memory was gentle and elegant, whereas the current Li Shuang was quite dominant.

”Li Shuang, why do you... feel a bit different from before?”

”How am I different?” Li Shuang retorted confidently. ”Are you trying to say I’ve changed?”

Seeing this, Li Qian quickly intervened: ”Cao Lang, in the years since Shuanger got married, she’s always been the head of the household, her word is law. Even her wedding was organized entirely by her; her husband didn’t even dare to offer an opinion.”

”That’s right, how can a woman not be a bit dominant? In today’s society, men can’t be relied upon.”

Li Shuang had a lot of thoughts on this, being quite experienced in marriage.

”My husband listens to me in everything. I have his salary card, and I’m the one who makes all the decisions in the house, big or small.”

Cao Lang fell into thought after hearing this.

Perhaps he had never truly known Li Shuang.

”Sigh, don’t mention it. This family would fall apart without me.”

Speaking of family, Li Shuang became more talkative.

”Marriage is the graveyard of love. Now all my focus is on Momo. As for my husband, all he knows is playing games after work; he doesn’t care about anything.”

”Every day he just plays chess, playing that stupid ’shovel’ game. I don’t know what’s so fun about it.”

”Fortunately, he doesn’t smoke. His only hobby is gaming, so I’ve stopped bothering to nag him.”

Hearing her best friend’s complaints, Li Qian also found an opening to speak.

”There are too few good men nowadays. My ex-Boyfriend didn’t like gaming, but he was too much of a playboy! He was always flirting around.”

”So when I look for a Boyfriend, I look for someone devoted.”

”Cao Lang is great. He looks like a good man at first glance; he definitely wouldn’t be unfaithful, right?”

Li Qian looked boldly at Cao Lang, asking this easy question.

However, Cao Lang said:

”I’m very devoted; I want to give every beautiful woman in the world a home.”

”Haha, you’ve become humorous.”

Li Qian didn’t hear the answer she wanted, but she didn’t mind at all, feeling that Cao Lang had become more talkative than before.

”Cao Lang, we’ve been talking for so long. Hurry up and state your position. Are you interested in my Qianer or not?”

The dinner reached its climax amidst the laughter of the three.

Li Shuang also pulled out her big guns, pressing him directly for a clear answer.

Earlier, Cao Lang said he had a girlfriend, then he said he wanted to give every woman in the world a home; Li Shuang dismissed all of it as mere glib talk.

After years of marriage, her personality had become brisk and impulsive; she didn’t want to hear any nonsense.

Li Qian also nervously gripped her wine glass, looking at Cao Lang shyly.

Cao Lang gave a faint smile and teased:

”Who wouldn’t like our great beauty, Li Qian?”

Back then, Li Qian was indeed very striking!

Even in a school uniform, she was bursting out of it. Especially during morning exercises, boys from neighboring classes couldn’t help but steal glances!

Back then, during stressful late nights, Cao Lang had also fantasized about having a one-night stand with Li Qian.

This was normal! After all, teenagers have plenty of energy.

Now, Li Qian’s figure had become even more voluptuous, satisfying the fantasies of most men with her large breasts and ample hips.

For an ordinary person, marrying her would be considered winning the beauty.

Without the system, Cao Lang would certainly have been very willing.

But after getting the system, he had become disillusioned with women.

This kind of ’steamed bun’ was easy to eat, but Cao Lang knew very well the price behind it.

Li Qian was a T4; he heard she dated an athlete in college, and with her figure, her Boyfriend must have ’put her to use’ quite often.

Now she wanted to discuss marriage with Cao Lang, and she was serious about it.

If Cao Lang had this kind of free time, he’d rather call Jiang Mengyuan over to enjoy some imperial service than waste his time talking nonsense with Li Qian!

The reason he came to the dinner was to ask the question he wanted to ask most!

During the four years of university.

He and Li Shuang had never met.

Yet every year at midnight on New Year’s, Li Shuang would send Cao Lang a ”Happy New Year” greeting.

What special meaning did this actually have?

Was it true love, or just special concern?

If it was love, then back in high school when Cao Lang was always obscure, what did Li Shuang, the class beauty, see in him?

”Li Shuang, answer a question for me first, and then I’ll give you my answer.”

Cao Lang’s expression was serious, and his deep eyes seemed to hide galaxies, making Li Shuang feel bashful.

”Go ahead.” Li Shuang had a premonition of what Cao Lang was going to ask.

”I want to know, why do you send me a Happy New Year message on time every year? Do you like me?”

This question was quite forward.

But it was also very sincere.

This unsolved mystery that had puzzled Cao Lang for six years had to be solved today.
