The night was naturally colored brightly—the moonlight outside the French-style windows sneakily infiltrated the house and sprinkled sparkling, translucent shadows on the floor of the wedding room.

The lights in the room had all been turned off, leaving only one colored candle to illuminate. In the warm and hazy candlelight, the newlywed was hiding beneath the new blanket with their fingers tapping rapidly on the keyboard.

"Did you figure it you yet?" Bai Luo Yin stretched his head out for a look. "Altogether, how much did we get in gift money?"

Gu Hai looked at the screen carefully and read aloud, "More than 30 million!"[1]

"That much?!" Bai Luo Yin was deeply astonished.

Gu Hai nodded. "There are a few extremely generous people, such as our business partnerships, my dad's old friends, and You Qi. Although Li Shuo and Hu Zi are abroad and could not come, they had gifted us a few million. All the others probably range from a few thousand to tens of thousands..."

Bai Luo Yin contemplated for a moment before he looked at his own laptop screen. "The banquet had a total of 18 tables that were 9999 yuan each and cost about 1.2 million. We gave out more than ten thousand yuan of red envelopes to the hotel staff, plus the wedding hall decoration, the purchase of clothes, jewelry and wedding supplies, the final amount is roughly five million. That means, excluding those expenses, we netted more than 20 million."

"Did calculate in the gift money that our parents gave us?"[2] Gu Hai reminded.

Bai Luo Yin slapped his own forehead, "Oh... I forgot since I haven't opened the red envelope yet.

As he said that, he quickly got off the bed and took out the red envelope that Gu Wei Ting had squeezed into his hands. He took a sneak peek only to be momentarily shocked, and then after that, the corners of his mouth pulled back into a wide grin—looking extremely satisfied at the gift.

"How much is it?" Gu Hai curiously moved his head in for a look.

"Ten additional days of vacation." Bai Luo Yin bragged, "Our dad must have fought within the military administrative department for me to get this."

Gu Hai's mood was surging with rage as disdainful expression appeared. "That's such a small reward yet he still dares to give it?"

"This type of thing is his kind intention,[3] you can't just use money to measure it." Bai Luo Yin explained as he turned over to look at Gu Hai. "How much did my father give you?"

"I'm not going to tell you." Gu Hai feigned mysteriousness.

Bai Luo Yin pushed the laptop to the side and suddenly pounced on Gu Hai while violating and urging him at the same time. "Hurry up and say it! How much was it?"

Gu Hai stubbornly resisted for quite a while before he confessed. "Our dad did not gift me with money. It is also an extraordinary kind intention."[3]

"What kind intention?"

"Our dad won't let me tell you."

"Who are you fucking closer to, huh?" Bai Luo Yin took Gu Hai's nipples as screws and twisted them extra hard until the owner himself wailed in pain.

"Closer to you, closer to you..." He replied, begging for mercy. "Inside the red envelope, our dad wrote, 'As the father of Bai Luo Yin, I, especially bestow Comrade Gu Hai the following privileges: First, Bai Luo Yin must change the way he addresses Gu Hai to 'laogong'[4], at least ten times a day; second, Bai Luo Yin must no longer implement domestic violence against Gu Hai and instead reserve that energy toward wholeheartedly serving his 'laogong'; third..."
