Seeing that Jasmine had also come in, the crease on Boyce's eyebrow didn't stretch out but instead
became even more furrowed.
There was even a vague hint of worry in his eyes when he looked at her.
"Jasmine, I think I have forgotten."
Jasmine was baffled, "What did you forget?"
Boyce was stuttering. After a while, he said, "What if you get pregnant?"
Jasmine finally understood what he meant.
She then looked around the room but didn't see any condoms.
Boyce bought it last time. However, they didn't use it this time. No, it was a lot of times in a day, and
they didn't use it at all.
Jasmine thought that if she really got pregnant, then so be it. It was no big deal for her.
"Are you not happy if I get pregnant? Do you not like children?" Jasmine placated him.
Boyce shook his head. It was not that he didn't like children. But Jasmine hadn't graduated yet, so how
could she get pregnant?
"First of all, we are legally married. I'm also an adult. If I'm married and got pregnant, and my husband
can afford it, why is wrong with that?"
Jasmine came in and looked for her clothes. For convenience purposes, she chose the only dress she
had.
It was not because it looked nice on her. It was for convenience, and it felt more comfortable.
Boyce walked over and said, "I'll wait for you outside."
Jasmine nodded.
After Jasmine got changed, the two of them went out.
Boyce was not a romantic person. He asked Jasmine what she wanted to eat. If she wanted to eat it,
he will bring her there.
He wouldn't think about bringing her to a romantic place to eat just because today was a special day for
them.
Jasmine also didn't mind at all. She knew that Boyce's character was like this.
After dinner, they took a stroll back.
The weather wasn't that hot already at this time of the year, and it was getting cooler.
Jasmine took his arm and stepped on the shadows on the streets childishly. The street was bustling
with people. They were either strolling around or buying stuff. There were some shops beside this
street too.
Someone was selling flowers beside the road. The flowers were wrapped nicely with paper, unlike
those wrapped in colourful papers at the florist. The simple and pure-coloured paper looked more like
flowers for decorating the house.
The flower vendor was pulling a tricycle, and the basket behind it was filled with all kinds of flowers,
decorating the unassuming tricycle prettily.
Jasmine pulled Boyce over and pointed at a bouquet of pink baby's breath. She asked, "Mister, how
much is this?"
The vendor smiled and replied to her, "It's twenty-five yuan."
Jasmine tried to haggle, "I’ll buy it for fifteen yuan."
The vendor took a glance at Boyce who was beside Jasmine, smiled, and said, "Miss, the gentleman
next to you doesn't seem like a person who is short of money. I will be at a loss if I sell you for fifteen
yuan, so please don't bargain with me."
Jasmine said, "If you don't want to sell it to me, I’ll go and look for it at another store."
"Well, Sir. Since your girlfriend likes it, why don't you just buy it. It's just ten-yuan difference. Looking at
you, you don't seem like someone short of money." The vendor turned towards Boyce. In terms of
buying things, women were generally stingier, while men were more generous. Usually, men wouldn't
haggle when they buy stuff.
"Then I'll buy it." Boyce didn't buy it because of what the vendor had said. It was because of Jasmine.
She never asked him for anything, and she also never asked him for gifts. It was just an inexpensive
bouquet anyway.
When Boyce was taking out his money, Jasmine snatched his wallet away and told the vendor, "I'm in
charge of his money. You still can earn some if you sell me fifteen yuan. I'll buy it from you right now if
you sell it to me. If not, I'll just leave. It's not like I'm making you lose money."
The vendor laughed and said, "Miss, you don't look very old, how are you so good at bargaining? Okay,
okay, I will sell it to you even it's a loss."
The vendor took the bouquet out from his car and handed it over to Jasmine.
Jasmine smiled and took it, "Thank you very much, Mister."
She didn't ask him back, since it was a loss, why did he still sell it to her? It was not easy doing
business. However, she also had to live her life, Boyce's money was also hard-earned. It was not easy
for everyone. Therefore, she didn't want to waste money, but she also wouldn't say sarcastic words to
mock vendors.
She returned the wallet to Boyce. Boyce looked at her, took over his wallet, and paid the vendor. When
he got back the change, he put them back into his wallet.
Jasmine held the bouquet in one hand and held Boyce's arm in another. They strolled along the road
for a while. Then, when they had left the flower vendor for a distance, Jasmine only said, "You shouldn't
spend your money lavishly in the future. It's not easy to make money, so you shouldn't just simply
spend them."
Boyce's salary was limited, even Armand was richer than him.
He was the poorest among the three.
Boyce said, "I didn't spend my money inattentively."
"You can buy it with fifteen yuan, why do you want to pay twenty-five yuan for it?" Jasmine stared at
him. If she hadn't taken his wallet away, he would have paid the vendor the money.
There weren't any changes on Boyce's face. He said seriously, "I saw that you like it, so I want to buy it
for you."
Jasmine looked up at him, and her heart was instantly filled with joy.
He was not spending carelessly. He was buying it because she liked it.
"Dolores's baby is very cute. Let's go to their house tomorrow and look at the baby." After saying that,
Jasmine realized that Boyce had to leave tomorrow for work. It seemed like he didn't have time to go.
"What time are you going back tomorrow?" She asked.
"In the afternoon," Boyce answered her.
Obviously, he didn't have the time.
Jasmine said, "We can go together when you are free."
Boyce replied with an "um", "If you have nothing to do, you can go visit them. Don't go to work
anymore, just let me know when you run out of money."
Jasmine, "I'll see to it."
She still wanted to work if there was any suitable job for her. She didn't want to fully rely on him.
They took a stroll and went back home. The first thing Jasmine did after she went back was to find a
vase. She had bought the vase at home. It was not expensive, but it looked very pretty. The corners of
the transparent glass vase shone like crystals under the light. After she poured some water, she put the
baby's breath bouquet into the vase.
She placed the vase beside the TV cabinet, and a touch of sweetness was instantly added to the
house.
She reached out and gently touched it, and the corners of her lips curled into a smile.
Boyce came over, stood behind her, and looked at the vase of flowers. He said, "Do you really like it so
much?"
Jasmine said, "It's not that. I just really like watching it. Maybe I'm just visually oriented, so I like
beautiful things. It's not only flowers, but I also like a lot of beautiful things, such as..."
She stared at Boyce and deliberated paused.
Boyce couldn't tell what she was thinking, "Such as what?"
Jasmine stood tiptoe and hooked his neck. Then, she said, "Such as you."
Boyce's pupils gradually darkened. He said in a low and hoarse voice, "Jasmine, I like you too."
Jasmine said, "I know. If you don't like me, why did you marry me as your wife? Ah..."
As soon as she finished her sentence, she was suddenly caught off guard and picked up by Boyce.
She couldn't help but shriek in surprise.
But soon, she regained her composure, and her body was softened from the surprise, "What are you
doing? You scared me."
