Her Cultivation Diary

Chapter 2209: Chapter 1875: Chen Xi, Shall We Try?

His height is quite impressive, especially Chen Chi, who is a whopping 1.9 meters tall. What a robust young man! Although he’s a bit tanned, both brothers have very decent looks. They may not be considered handsome, but they’re definitely easy on the eyes.

She reached out her hand again: "Shake hands?"

Her attitude was as if it were a business negotiation, natural and justified.

Chen Xi stared for a moment, confused, before extending his hand.

However, instead of a polite handshake, the other party held his hand in a way that suggested an intimate relationship, wrapping her hand around his.

Chen Xi was stunned, but the other maintained that position, turning his hand over and shaking it before letting go, looking more satisfied.

—Getting married and settling down inevitably involves intimacy between a man and a woman. You definitely can’t choose someone who avoids close contact.

Holding hands like this, she didn’t feel averse, proving that they could move to the next step!

Made a note of it in her little notebook.

Then she approached and first looked at Chen Chi:

"Chen Chi, if I marry your brother, will you be unhappy?"

Huh?

Chen Chi was bewildered. Wasn’t he just here to watch the security brothers’ competition? Why was his brother suddenly talking about getting married?

But—

"No, I wouldn’t be!" He shook his head, firmly: "With Qiaoqiao not around, I have to take care of Da Wang, Dabao, Dahuang, Big White, Da Hong, Big Pearl, and Big Bear. I don’t have time to worry about being happy or not!"

He thought for a moment, then looked at the clueless Chen Xi and gritted his teeth:

"But! Sister, if you hit my brother, I-I won’t be happy! I’ll go find Sister Song for help."

Zheng Juan laughed heartily: "Okay, I won’t hit him."

It was only then that Chen Xi stepped forward, gently pushed Chen Chi back, and said seriously:

"Zheng Juan, we haven’t really gotten to know each other before, have we? Saying things like this isn’t appropriate."

Zheng Juan was very calm: "Yes, but I want to find someone to settle down with. I think you’re dependable and suitable. If you think I meet your conditions, why don’t we try getting to know each other?"

Chen Xi had never in his life seen someone so straightforward.

Several times, he was left speechless, and now he hesitated: "My qualifications aren’t that great..."

"I know." Zheng Juan was upfront: "Your salary isn’t much, and you’ve given some savings to your family, so you don’t have much left."

"But it’s okay. I feel like we don’t have big expenses here, and the salary is enough. My salary is even less than yours."

Chen Xi was quite frustrated: "Marriage isn’t a trivial matter, and settling down isn’t that simple either..."

How could Zheng Juan not have plans?

She had worked hard for years, and while she might not have lots of savings, she’s got several hundred thousand at least.

Now her body can’t handle high-intensity work anymore. Even if she’s somewhat reluctant, for her own sake, she plans to root herself in the countryside for the long term.

Besides, she’s been working here for so long, going back to find a suitable position would be like a mom returning to work after a two-year maternity leave; it’s hard to get the previous treatment.

If that’s the case, then she might as well stay here!

Then she looked again at Chen Xi, whom she had meticulously chosen—

Although they hadn’t had a long-term intimate understanding before, like companies have hiring standards, she naturally had her own criteria for choosing a suitable partner.

If he can manage the ranch without a single issue, taking care of pigs, cows, sheep, chickens, ducks, and geese so meticulously, it proves that he doesn’t lack responsibility, attention to detail, or diligence in the slightest.

She was really fed up with working with careless, incompetent, and lazy people.

Now looking at her future companion (in her opinion), she felt even more satisfied.

And then there was Chen Chi.

With this kind of burden, Chen Xi would indeed be scrutinized in the matchmaking market.

But others see Chen Chi as a burden, Zheng Juan does not!

This kid often runs all over the mountains with Qiaoqiao; everyone in the mountains knows it!

He’s strong, obedient, and even though he isn’t the brightest, he never does anything foolish, and he even earns a salary working alongside his brother. He’s a real help with work...

Practically the best brother one could ask for, right?

Other families’ brothers might even fight over a Yadi scooter. For example, in the Security Team, Zhou Fang supposedly doesn’t get along with his family. His parents want some money from him to help his elder brother, and his elder brother wants money from him for his own family.

As for his future? Oh well, who cares?

Compared to the Zhou family brothers, Chen Xi and Chen Chi’s relationship is much closer, with no property competition issues.

The two can just live their lives. Later, when she uses her savings to buy a house in town and applies for a couple’s dormitory here by Riverside Beach.

The house would be in her name; she would have a man to help in life, and when a child comes along, Chen Chi would even help look after the kid.

Even if the marriage doesn’t go well—while it’s not a good habit to anticipate defeat before victory in a relationship.

But no choice, after battling in the workplace for so long, she doesn’t have that carefree, all-in mindset just for romance. Everything must be weighed in terms of pros and cons.

Aunt Zhang Hong advised her that planning life this way isn’t good, but to Zheng Juan, it’s the only way she feels secure.

All in all, after weighing everything, even if they end up divorced later, she wouldn’t lose anything!

She wasn’t deciding to settle down just to have a child with a man; she wanted to have a child for herself.

And Chen Xi wouldn’t lose out either.

After all, she wasn’t eyeing his assets, so wouldn’t that make everyone happy?

After rambling on with her analysis, she finished and sincerely looked up at him:

"Do you think my plan is feasible? Do I meet your requirements? If so, why don’t we take a walk and chat?"

Chen Xi didn’t know what to say.

Never did he expect the future he wanted to present itself in this manner.

But perhaps it was his nature, or maybe because he spent so much time among simple creatures like pigs, cows, and sheep. At this moment, he didn’t find Zheng Juan’s straightforward and clear-cut plan inappropriate.

It even sounded reassuring.

Looking into her sincere eyes—

Well, why not give it a try?
