Many men are very concerned about their image, preferring to appear strong in front of women. They like to be relied upon by women, but they can’t quite accept their women being too strong.

Once a woman becomes too powerful, and the income gap between the couple becomes too wide, it’s easy for emotional rifts to develop. Some men will spend the money their wives earn while acting bitter and unhappy, under great pressure.

Top-tier successful women that Xiao Qian has come across seldom have happy marriages, which is because many men inherently lean towards chauvinistic tendencies, too concerned about their pride, and can’t stand it when women are too strong.

She does not want her relationship with Yu Minglang to end up like that.

She will not give up her career for her marriage. She must make her consulting room better than it was in her past life, and she needs to give Yu Minglang a heads-up in advance.

At this point, Yu Minglang had already stood up, pulling Xiao Qian to sit on the sofa.

Jia Xiufang couldn’t hear what was going on inside, nearly sticking to the iron gate outside the yard like a frog.

Did it work out or not?

“Mom, you should leave quickly. If we don’t hurry, we’ll miss the second bus…” Chen Zilong pulled at Jia Xiufang.

Only then did Jia Xiufang leave with a heavy heart.

Xiao Qian sat on Yu Minglang’s lap, inadvertently thinking about the Aunt Flo incident this morning. If she sat on his lap and Aunt Flo leaked again and stained his pants, what would she do?

At this point, Xiao Qian had already deeply understood one thing – with this guy Yu Minglang by her side, anything embarrassing was possible.

But Yu Minglang didn’t let her run away, making her sit on his lap. Xiao Qian was waiting for his answer to her crucial question, but he didn’t speak for a long time and just focused on not letting her leave his lap.

“Yu Minglang, what’s your answer?”

“What answer?” Yu Minglang took her hand and looked at it. The diamond ring on her slender middle finger glittered brilliantly, although it was a bit small.

Low-key. He really wanted to buy her a big diamond ring, letting the whole world know that she belonged to him, but she was still a student, and wearing too big a ring would be inconvenient.

“The money issue.”

“I don’t mind. I’m happy if you can make more money, and even if you can’t earn as much as me, my money is enough to support our family. I can buy you many Cartier items like my Eldest Brother and Sister-in-law, and I can also accept some luxury gifts from you.”

Yu Minglang spoke humbly but confidently, having thought about these matters before.

Xiao Mei can indeed make money. She had turned the 30,000 into over 40,000 in just a few months, nearly on par with his own fund management, and her career will undoubtedly earn a high income once she graduates.

“What I want, I can earn on my own. What I’m asking now is, can you accept me earning, can you accept the idea that my money is also your money?”

This question may seem insignificant, but many couples have parted ways over it.

As a psychologist, even Xiao Qian couldn’t provide a specific answer as to how important a man’s pride is. She could only say that it may be an innate trait of men, evolved from primal society, where they highly value their pride. Losing face is critical – men who mooch off women are the other extreme and shouldn’t be considered.

“I’m proud that you’re exceptional; it means I have good taste. If you’re willing to share your excellence with me, I’m more than happy to accept it and thank you for your contributions to our future little family.”

“The contributions and sense of mission in one’s career cannot be measured by money. Although you’re currently busy with your job and have to deal with a lot of historical issues after taking over the company, I believe you’ll achieve great accomplishments in the future, comparable to your brother. You have a tolerant heart, and I’m grateful that you give me the opportunity to make a difference.”

Xiao Qian wasn’t just saying nice things to placate Yu Minglang. It’s what she truly thought.

Perhaps the influence of Xiao Qiang from her past life runs deep in her.

She cannot change how others think. After all, with rapid economic development, values are evolving towards money-first. Yu Minglang, being so wealthy, may find it hard to accept a career woman, but he is willing to compromise without any complaints.

Yu Minglang looked at her with emotion. Xiao Qian’s words had touched his heart deeply.

Xiao Mei’s wisdom, beauty, and unique temperament could have given her better options. That’s why when Yu Minglang proposed, he wasn’t entirely confident.

But she understood his heart so well. Every word she said resonated deeply with him.

“Xiao Mei, I’m so glad I met you.” He hugged her tightly.

He considered himself fortunate to have met her in this life.

“I feel the same way. When you found me, you knew I wasn’t a traditional wife, and when I found you, I knew you were a driven man. I’m telling you about the potential issues we might face in the future now, so we can understand each other better. Mutual understanding is the foundation of a stable family. Yu Minglang, I understand your work, and you understand mine. Let’s not measure our work’s value with money. Can we do that?”

He hugged her tightly.

“Of course, we can. When I started my business, you waited for me, accompanied me, and offered me mental support. I can also help guard our family when you want to grow your career in the future. Let’s work hard and fight together.”

His Xiao Mei was truly an exceptional girl. She had brought up their potential issues in the most straightforward way possible and given him ample respect after explaining her attitude towards work.

Although Yu Minglang thought the same way – that the value of feelings should never be measured by money – hearing it from Xiao Qian made it all the more touching.

Seeing Yu Minglang so moved, Xiao Qian quickly took the opportunity to mention her shortcomings.

“Xiao Qiang, think it through. I can’t cook. I really can’t. Once we’re married, I won’t be able to make a single warm meal for you. I could burn down the kitchen. I’m not kidding, I’m serious. And although I can clean the house, I might not want to move when I’m tired from work. Prepare yourself for all this.”

Yu Minglang looked at her serious expression and thought, how serious could it be?

“As long as the food is cooked, it’s fine whether it tastes good or not. Since we’re engaged now and it’s still years before our wedding, you’ll have to stop eating in the canteen after graduating. If I’m too busy with work to look after you, you should at least be able to cook a meal for yourself. If I return, I can cook for you. It’s no big deal.”

Xiao Qian shook her head insistently.

“It’s not as simple as you think. I – never mind, I’ll cook something for you to see. Then you’ll understand. Be prepared that you might have to cook in the future.”

It was time to let Yu Xiaoqiang see her true colors. Xiao Qian touched the ring, thinking that even if he regretted it now, it was too late…
