"Even if I want you to marry into my family?"
"Even if you want me to marry into your family."
"Even if our child can only have the surname Bai?"
"Even if our child can only have the surname Bai, I'm still willing."
Duan Zhengyang answered every question that Jiujiu asked. When he talked about children, Duan Zhengyang's face turned bright red.
Jiujiu pursed her lips and chuckled softly when she saw Duan Zhengyang's face turn red from shyness.
Jiujiu's voice was like the crisp sound of a bell. It shook Duan Zhengyang's heart.
Duan Zhengyang raised his head and looked into Jiujiu's eyes. His gaze was sincere as if he was looking at his own religion.
Jiujiu reached out and pinched Duan Zhengyang's ear. She suddenly stood up and stood on her tiptoes to kiss Duan Zhengyang's lips. She looked at Duan Zhengyang's cheeks, which were as red as a monkey's butt, and said, "I have a problem. I'm very possessive. The things I like can only have my scent. Since you're already mine, you can only look at me, kiss me, and touch me. Do you understand?"
When Jiujiu kissed him, Duan Zhengyang felt his heart beat so fast that his ears were ringing. When he heard Jiujiu say that he was already mine, Duan Zhengyang was so happy that he almost fainted.
Duan Zhengyang felt dizzy. He looked at Jiujiu and nodded. "I will."
Jiujiu smiled again after receiving Duan Zhengyang's promise. She reached out and patted Duan Zhengyang's furry little head. "Good boy."
Jiujiu's action of patting his head was clearly like petting a kitten or a puppy, but Duan Zhengyang's heart was filled with boundless satisfaction. Especially when he felt Jiujiu's fingers graze the top of his head, Duan Zhengyang was so excited that he could not help but wag his tail wildly.
Just like that, Jiujiu and Duan Zhengyang's relationship was confirmed.
After confirming her relationship with Duan Zhengyang, Jiujiu brought Duan Zhengyang to see Master Bai and told him about her relationship with him.
When Jiujiu dragged Duan Zhengyang to see Master Bai, he was extremely nervous. He kept thinking about what would happen if Master Bai didn't agree and threw him out?
Duan Zhengyang wasn't afraid of being thrown out. He was afraid that he would never see Jiujiu again.
Fortunately, although Master Bai's expression was serious, he still nodded in the end, indicating that he understood the relationship between Jiujiu and Duan Zhengyang.
Just like that, Duan Zhengyang and Jiujiu's relationship was confirmed.
Almost everyone in the Bai Family knew that Jiujiu and Duan Zhengyang were engaged the next day. However, because the two grew up together, and Master Bai wanted Jiujiu and Duan Zhengyang to cultivate their relationship, Duan Zhengyang moved from the servant's house to the courtyard next to Jiujiu's. Apart from helping Jiujiu tidy the garden every day, Duan Zhengyang also had to learn how to manage the accounts from Master Bai.
Jiujiu knew that Duan Zhengyang was good, so she had found someone to teach Duan Zhengyang how to read. However, Duan Zhengyang wanted to stay by Jiujiu's side all the time, so he wasn't very focused on studying. However, it was true that he could recognize all the words.
Since Duan Zhengyang could recognize all the words, it was easier for Master Bai to teach Duan Zhengyang how to manage the accounts.
Duan Zhengyang was talented and intelligent. After working with Master Bai for less than half a year, he could already do some basic accounting on his own.
However, while Duan Zhengyang was learning how to manage the accounts, he still took good care of Jiujiu. Not only did Duan Zhengyang think of many things that Master Bai didn't think of, but he also took good care of Jiujiu.
A few days before the Dragon Boat Festival, Duan Zhengyang went out to collect rent, but he didn't come back until the Dragon Boat Festival.
It was supposed to take at most three days, but he didn't come back after five days. Both Jiujiu and Master Bai were anxious. Almost the entire family went out to look for Duan Zhengyang.
However, it was only a short distance from the Bai Family's house to the place where the rent was collected. All the servants of the Bai Family searched for three to four days, but they still couldn't find Duan Zhengyang.
At this time, someone saw the traces of the carriage falling off a cliff. When they saw the traces, everyone's heart turned cold.
The cliff was so deep that they couldn't see the bottom. Looking down from above, they could only see clouds. If a stone was thrown down, it would take a long time to hear the echo. It was such a high cliff. If someone really fell down, it would be disastrous.
Master Bai looked at Jiujiu, who was standing in front of the cliff. His lips moved, but he couldn't say anything to comfort her.
Jiujiu and Duan Zhengyang had been together for more than five years. Ever since they got engaged, they spent even more time together. Duan Zhengyang spent more time with Jiujiu than he did with Jiujiu. There was no need to doubt their relationship. So …
Jiujiu probably wouldn't feel good if Duan Zhengyang really fell down.
Master Bai walked to Jiujiu's side and patted Jiujiu's shoulder to comfort her.
Jiujiu pursed her lips in response to Master Bai's comfort. She turned to look at Master Bai and said, "Father, Duan Zhengyang isn't dead."
Jiujiu stared straight at him. Jiujiu even said that Duan Zhengyang wasn't dead. Master Bai only thought that Jiujiu might be too sad, so he didn't take it to heart. He only made a sound of acknowledgment and didn't say anything else.
Jiujiu wasn't in a hurry to explain since Master Bai didn't believe her. She only looked at the bottomless cliff and turned to leave without looking back.
After returning home, Jiujiu did what she was supposed to do every day. She would wait for Duan Zhengyang at the Bai Family's gate in the afternoon. When it was time, she would go back to sleep. It was as if Duan Zhengyang was there to accompany her.
The more normal Jiujiu was, the more upset Master Bai felt. He even wondered if he should ask Madam Bai to take Jiujiu out to relax.
After all, even a cat with nine lives wouldn't be able to survive falling from such a high place, let alone a living person like Duan Zhengyang. As the saying goes, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. Although he liked Duan Zhengyang very much, compared to his child, Jiujiu, this affection was much weaker. If he allowed Jiujiu to continue waiting like this, she would probably go crazy in the end.
Master Bai felt that it was time to consider his parents-in-law's suggestion. He should bring Jiujiu's cousin over and let the two children take care of each other. What if the two of them liked each other?
At this time, Duan Zhengyang, who everyone thought would die, was sitting on a protruding stone platform on the cliff.
That day, his horse suddenly went crazy and fell off the cliff with him. Fortunately, he was caught by the trees that grew on the edge of the cliff and saved his life.
However, when the trees caught him, Duan Zhengyang saw a protruding stone platform not far from him. Duan Zhengyang was skilled and bold. He used the trees near the stone platform to jump onto the stone platform.
When he reached the stone platform, Duan Zhengyang realized that there was a cave behind the stone platform.
