Married to the Male Lead’s Hidden Rich Brother

Chapter 39

While others worry about being poor or getting rejected in a marriage proposal, Yan Wei worries about being too rich. What’s the problem with being rich? Of course, there isn’t one. The problem lies in the fact that two months ago, Yan Wei made up a story because he was afraid of being kicked out by Zhou Qiaoqiao and didn’t reveal his true situation.

Now he’s going to propose to Zhou Qiaoqiao and say, “Hey, Qiaoqiao, did you know? I’m filthy rich, I’m the world’s investment tycoon!” Yan Wei took a sip of juice indifferently. Wellā€¦ the outcome would be quite obvious, he would end up in a miserable state.

“In that case, let’s not mention it for now!” Zhen Guoan said. “If it comes to that, let’s just act like we thought she already knew.”

Yan Wei sighed. “Actually, I already mentioned it once, but she didn’t believe me.”

“How did she respond?” Zhen Guoan was quite curious since his sister-in-law’s thinking was quite unique.

Yan Wei said, “She said, ‘Brother, wake up.'”

Zhen Guoan first wore a shocked expression, then struggled to hold back his laughter, and finally burst into laughter. “My sister-in-law is truly amazing! Hahahaā€¦”


In the evening, when Yan Wei went to pick up Zhou Qiaoqiao, he saw her bouncing towards him.

Yan Wei squinted slightly, looking at the approaching bus, and asked her, “The first time?”

Zhou Qiaoqiao nodded. “Yes! They never invited me before, but there’s this girl, Jiamin, she didn’t go either because I didn’t go.”

Yan Wei nodded without saying anything, then held Zhou Qiaoqiao’s hand and got on the bus. The bus was crowded, so Yan Wei pulled her away from the young boys. They soon arrived at their stop, and Yan Wei led Zhou Qiaoqiao off the bus.

Zhou Qiaoqiao clenched her fists and exclaimed, “I want to buy clothes!”

Seeing her so excited, Yan Wei didn’t stop her and said, “Then, let’s go buy them!”

Zhou Qiaoqiao nodded and looked at Yan Wei, saying, “Let’s go buy clothes! I want to dress up nicely for the class reunion!!!”

Seeing her so excited, Yan Wei didn’t dampen her spirits and said, “Let’s go! We’ll eat out today and buy you clothes along the way.”

“I have money.” Zhou Qiaoqiao took out a card from her bag and lovingly touched it.

Yan Wei took a glance and knew that this card was the one Zhou Qiaoqiao had kept the compensation money from her injury in.

Oh, the compensation money was the money she received for the injury.

Zhou Qiaoqiao rarely carried this card with her, so it was evident that she consciously brought it out today.

Yan Wei patted her head and said, “Qiaoqiao, you really want to attend this gathering. It means that you don’t actually dislike our college life.”

Yan Wei looked ahead, tapped his fingers, sighing inwardly. The first time she’s been invited, so why did they invite her this time?

“Welcome!” The salesperson at the entrance greeted them with a smile.

Zhou Qiaoqiao tugged at Yan Wei and said, “Although I said I’ll pay, although I’m very rich, is this placeā€¦ too expensive?” She whispered the last three words to Yan Wei.

Yan Wei was momentarily surprised, then smiled and reassured her, “Go ahead and try on the clothes! I received a bonus.”

“Do you want to buy them for me?” Zhou Qiaoqiao widened her eyes, looking at him.

Yan Wei nodded and said, “Yes, I want to buy them for you.”

Zhou Qiaoqiao’s eyes sparkled, then mischievously asked, “Um, how much is your bonus?”

Yan Wei was taken aback, wondering if this was what national security referred to as a girlfriend checkpoint?

Yan Wei suddenly became serious, contemplating in his mind, how much should he report? Would reporting 200,000 be too much? But reporting 2,000 seemed too little. He was torn, wanting to ask national security, but he couldn’t make a phone call with Qiaoqiao watching him.

Seeing Yan Wei in a state of dilemma, Zhou Qiaoqiao immediately said, “You don’t have to say it!” I don’t necessarily need to know, there’s no need to be so conflicted!

Yan Wei grabbed Zhou Qiaoqiao’s hand and said, “Please let me say it.”

Zhou Qiaoqiao hesitated and said, “ā€¦Okay, you can say it!”

Yan Wei finally said, not too certain, “120,000?”

“Huh?” Zhou Qiaoqiao frowned, surprising Yan Wei, who asked, “Is it too little?”

Zhou Qiaoqiao said, “ā€¦No, is this bonus a few extra zeros?”

Salesperson: “ā€¦Do you still want to buy clothes?” Isn’t this bonus a bit too much?

“Buy them.” Yan Wei immediately responded.

Zhou Qiaoqiao then regained her focus and looked at the clothes. This store was a high-end women’s clothing store in the commercial district. Many girls were looking at clothes, and some were coming out of the fitting rooms to look at themselves in the mirror.

Zhou Qiaoqiao saw a few beautiful dresses in the display case, but considering her short hair, she felt that she wasn’t suitable for dresses.

Yan Wei understood what she was thinking from her expression and persuaded her, “Qiaoqiao, you can try on dresses. Even with short hair, you look great in dresses. Short hair and dresses should also look good on you.”

Zhou Qiaoqiao blinked her big eyes and asked, “Really~?”

Yan Wei nodded, and the salesperson beside him said, “Miss, I can bring one for you to try on first. Besides, your skin is good, so fair and beautiful. It will definitely suit you.”

The dress in the display case was a milky white, lace-trimmed gown, giving off a fairy-like vibe.

When Zhou Qiaoqiao came out after trying on the dress, the salesperson strongly urged her to buy it. Zhou Qiaoqiao was flattered but still unsure, so she looked at Yan Wei.

Yan Wei rubbed his chin and said, “In my eyes, you look beautiful in anything. You can buy this dress and wear it when your hair grows longer. I have a rough idea of what style suits you.”

Short hair doesn’t mean you can’t match it with clothes, it’s just that Zhou Qiaoqiao didn’t have this type of clothing before.

Yan Wei had Zhou Qiaoqiao change her clothes and then took her to another store.

Taking advantage of Zhou Qiaoqiao changing clothes, Yan Wei got a recommendation for a store from Zhen Guoan. Zhen Guoan said that the store was excellent and he always took his girlfriend there.


Looking at Zhou Qiaoqiao coming out of the fitting room, Yan Wei smiled. It seemed that expensive is expensive for a reason.

Zhou Qiaoqiao stood in front of the mirror in high heels, revealing her neat short hair. She had round eyes, and her long lashes were curled and black. She wore sparkling golden earrings on both ears, and her bright red lips made her look sharp and energetic.

She wore a black and white checkered long-sleeved shirt, with the shirttails casually tucked into her pants. Below the white straight-leg pants, she wore a pair of black pointed high heels.

“Here you go, Miss.” A flamboyant man took a handbag from a display rack and handed it to Zhou Qiaoqiao.

Zhou Qiaoqiao turned around and took the white handbag. It was quite heavy and had a crystal decoration on the front, looking beautiful and eye-catching.

Zhou Qiaoqiao turned to look at herself in the mirror again and felt that she looked perfect with this handbag.

The flamboyant man said with a feminine voice, “How about it? You look like a mature lady.”

Mature? Zhou Qiaoqiao blinked, and the woman in the mirror blinked too. Yes, there was a sense of thunderous might, as if she was about to negotiate a 50 million contract. Thinking this way, Zhou Qiaoqiao covered her mouth and smiled.

“Do you like it?” Yan Wei embraced her from behind. With Zhou Qiaoqiao wearing high heels, their heights matched even better.

“Yes.” When Zhou Qiaoqiao came to this store with Yan Wei, she thought there weren’t many people inside and assumed the store wasn’t doing well.

Only after entering did she realize that this store provided all kinds ofā€¦ all kinds of services.

Since Zhou Qiaoqiao arrived, she had her hair done, took a bath, put on makeup, and changed into a new outfit from head to toe. It was like a complete transformation!

Yan Wei saw that she liked it and smiled in relief.

He glanced at the flamboyant man and said, “Get the payment from Mr. Zhen.”

The flamboyant man had already contacted Zhen Guoan, so he naturally understood. He winked at Yan Wei and said, “I understand.”

Yan Wei: “ā€¦”

He really admired how Zhen Guoan could bring his girlfriend here and tolerate this person every time.


In the private room 206 on the second floor of the Daxing Hotel, more than 30 people sat around, chatting and laughing.

The table was filled with various fruits, nuts, candies, and drinks. The women were dressed elegantly, and the men were in suits and leather shoes. In fact, it’s said that class reunions were a disguised way of showing off.

It had only been two years since everyone graduated, and those who started their own businesses hadn’t made significant progress yet. Those who were employed were still at a junior level. The capable ones had already become executives, but they were few, like Ruan Xiaoqiao.

Ruan Xiaoqiao was wearing a black tight-fitting skirt with a white jacket draped over her. She sat in her seat, smiling and talking to the person next to her.

Not everyone came alone; some brought their boyfriends or children.

At this moment, a girl with her boyfriend asked Ruan Xiaoqiao, “Is it true that she became a third party?”

Ruan Xiaoqiao smiled and said, “I don’t know if she became a third party, but it’s true that she found a rich man. And that rich man was exposed to have a girlfriend just a couple of days ago. What do you think?”

As she spoke, several people around Ruan Xiaoqiao chuckled.

The girl curled her lips and disdainfully said, “How did she manage to find a rich man?”

The girl’s boyfriend blinked and looked at her. The girl closed her mouth sullenly.

Others sighed and said, “She used to be silent at school, but who would have thoughtā€¦ Who would have thought she was a wolf in sheep’s clothing.”

At this moment, another girl, munching on melon seeds, enviously said, “Who is willing to support me financially? I’m willing too! In today’s society, everything revolves around money! You guys are just too reserved to admit it. In fact, you envy her, don’t you!”

A male student retorted, “Envy? Only someone as vain as you would think that men would marry women like her.”

As the argument was about to escalate, everyone was about to intervene, but they heard a clear female voice from behind say, “Sorry, there was traffic on the way.”

Everyone turned their heads and saw Zhou Qiaoqiao walking in with Liang Jiamin, exuding confidenceā€¦
