My family really has a throne to inherit

"Hey, Xiaolan, I have a boyfriend!"

On an ordinary day, Shibusawa Misaki suddenly said excitedly when she saw me.

"Ah, congratulations." I think she thought about it after congratulating her, and suggested, "Isn't it time to eat red bean rice? Is this how Japan celebrates?"

"No, no, no, I don't want to eat it... You have a bad stereotype of Japan, and where can you get red bean rice?"

"Then use red bean bread instead?"

"Isn't this too casual?!"

Misaki was aggrieved, but soon became happy again, and she held my hand and talked to me about her boyfriend.

Her boyfriend was a childhood sweetheart before, and the two had kept in touch before, but they didn't pierce the window paper. Maybe it was because of their good relationship that they didn't dare to take that step lightly.

It wasn't until Misaki's mother asked Misaki to go on a blind date two days ago that she became anxious, and then yesterday the relationship was finally confirmed.

"If there are no accidents, we will get engaged at the end of the year, right?" Shibusawa Misaki asked, holding her face.

I was taken aback, and looked at her with accusation: "By the end of the year, you will only be dating for two months, and you said I was too fast before."

"Because Tsumo and I have known each other for ten years... Is it completely different from your situation?" Shibusawa Misaki held his forehead, looking a little headache, "But you and Nanami-san should be coming soon, right? Have you been dating for two years?"

"Hmm." I nodded.

As of today, Qihai and I have been dating for more than two years and one month.

"Then Xiaolan, will you resign after you get married?"

"Huh? Resign? Why?"

"Ah... In short, in our country, many women resign to become full-time wives after marriage. Because the salary is not high, women are also easily discriminated against in the workplace... In short, it is a combination of many factors. I don’t really understand the specifics.” After Misaki Shibusawa finished speaking, she asked me, “Will you resign, Ran? Are you not short of money?”

"Hmm... what about you, Miyu? Will you resign?"

"I don't think so...Tokyo is under a lot of pressure. I'm just a small employee at Home Textiles, and I still have financial problems to consider. If I have children in the future, I probably will quit my job."

"It's like this..." I nodded and asked, "Do you still eat red bean bread?"

"How did you get back on this topic...but I'll eat if you invite me!" Misaki said angrily.

But what Mei Xiao said made me think.

That night, I talked to Nanami-san about it at dinner time.

"...That's how it is." I asked after I finished speaking, "Qami, do you want me to resign after I get married?"

Qi Hai pondered for a moment and then replied: "I think you are interested in Kanlan. You don't need to resign and stay at home for family affairs. I can also help you on weekdays, or just ask housekeepers."

I added a chopstick of beef to the pot and stirred it.

Today we had sukiyaki because I came back a little late and sukiyaki was quick to prepare and I just got fresh and good domestic beef.

"I don't like other people to touch my things, so I don't need to hire a housekeeper. I can usually handle the housework by myself, not to mention that you, Qihai, have been helping me..."

While I was talking, Qihai picked up a quail egg from the pot, stretched out the chopsticks and handed it to my mouth, and I opened my mouth to bite the quail egg.

"Be careful." The other party said, "Do you want to resign?"

"Hmm... I quite like my current job. So I will continue to do it, right? When I feel bored or have something more I want to try, I may change my job."

I think this is considered to have been communicated. Since Qihai said so, I don't need to think about this aspect too much, just follow my own ideas.

But... I always feel like I've overlooked something.

After I took a shower, changed into the pajamas I just bought and matched with Qihai, and said goodnight to the other party in bed, got into the bed and closed my eyes, I finally realized what I had neglected, sat up quickly, and looked at Qihai in shock. To the person beside him: "Did I just say after marriage?"

"Did you realize it now?" Qihai closed the notepad in her hand, raised her hand to take off her glasses and put them on the bedside table, and looked at me, "I almost thought I heard it wrong."

Hmm...Although Misaki also said that marriage is best not brought up by girls themselves.But what I said tonight doesn't count, does it?Just hypothetical.

But if Nanami replied like that, does it mean that she is considering getting married?

Should I just ask...

While I was hesitating, Qihai suddenly said, "Wait a minute."

"Huh?" I looked at him, he got up and left the room, and came back after a while, with an extra box in his hand.

"Actually, I prepared it before... I just haven't prepared how to take it out. Although I thought that maybe you mentioned this matter first, it's better for me to do it." Qihai said, opened the box, Facing me, "Maybe it's not the most suitable time, but it's okay at this time, right?"

I looked at the ring in the box, and it took me a while to understand what the other person meant. I couldn't help but open my eyes and look up at him.

"The equivalent exchange you often talk about...is it also applicable to this occasion?" Qihai looked at me with a slight smile on her face, "I will use the rest of my life to be with you in exchange for You were by my side during these times."
