Vajra’s series of antics quickly made everyone accept this new member of the family.

His mom and mother-in-law, in particular, absolutely adored him.

After dinner, Vajra started showing off all his tricks, keeping everyone laughing nonstop.

BOOM BOOM BOOM~ WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH~

While everyone was happily chatting, a sudden series of booms from fireworks sounded from outside.

Someone must be getting married and setting off fireworks for the celebration.

No one in the house paid it any mind, except for Vajra. Upon hearing the noise, the previously excited dog shuddered, then immediately ran behind Mom. He crouched on the floor, whimpering softly and desperately tugging on her clothes.

It was clear he was terrified.

Seeing this, Mom’s heart ached for him, and she stroked Vajra’s head over and over. Though they had only just met, the well-behaved yet goofy Vajra had already won her over.

Fortunately, the fireworks didn’t last long, ending after just five or six minutes.

Once the sound had completely faded, Vajra finally stood up again. A few moments later, he seemed to have forgotten the whole ordeal.

After watching some TV and chatting for a while in Mom’s living room, everyone returned to their own villas.

As for Vajra, he went back with Qi Xiaotian.

Just like usual, after returning to the study, he began discussing the development of the various corporations with Bai Menghan.

Then, Bai Menghan suddenly spoke up.

"Oh, right, Chenyi, I’m going to the university one last time tomorrow. After that, I’ll have officially graduated."

Hearing this, a very happy smile spread across Fang Chenyi’s face.

"That’s great news! You’re finally graduating. This is perfect timing; you can get involved with the construction of the commercial district."

Bai Menghan was also very happy. Her workload was getting heavier and heavier, especially with Fang Chenyi bringing home a new major corporation every other day. She really didn’t have much energy left for her studies.

Now that she was graduating, she could finally devote all her energy to the company.

"Wait, Xiao Hanhan, you said you’re graduating? Hahahaha, that’s fantastic! Hahaha~"

Suddenly, Fang Chenyi, who had been looking over some documents, had a flash of inspiration. He tossed the papers onto the desk and spoke with excitement.

Seeing Fang Chenyi’s suddenly flustered and jumpy reaction, Bai Menghan couldn’t help but feel puzzled, wondering what he was up to now.

Staring at the laughing Fang Chenyi, Bai Menghan reached out to feel his forehead and asked.

"Uh, Chenyi, what’s wrong with you? Are you sick?"

He playfully swatted her hand away from his forehead and said.

"Go on, what sickness? Your husband is perfectly healthy. So, uh, look, you’ve graduated now, right? Doesn’t that mean we can have our wedding now?"

As soon as she heard this, a blush spread across Bai Menghan’s face.

Seeing how excited Fang Chenyi was at the mention of marriage made her heart swell with sweetness.

After a slight cough, Bai Menghan deliberately adopted a teasing tone.

"Ahem, marrying me isn’t that simple, you know. Besides, it seems a certain someone hasn’t even proposed yet."

Fang Chenyi heard this and nodded in profound agreement. ’It’s true, I haven’t officially proposed to Bai Menghan yet.’

But while his mind was already planning a grand proposal for Bai Menghan, he chuckled slyly and said, "Hehe, we’re practically an old married couple already. Who needs a proposal, right?"

After some playful banter, Fang Chenyi carried Bai Menghan back to their bedroom.

Needless to say, it was a long night. The next day, Bai Menghan drove to the university.

After today, she would shed the title of "student" for good.

Fang Chenyi, on the other hand, didn’t head to the construction site or go scavenging like he usually did.

Instead, he holed himself up in the study and began brainstorming ways to propose to Bai Menghan.

’Roses and a diamond ring? Isn’t that a bit too cliché?’

’But if not that, then what?’

For a moment, Fang Chenyi felt like his head was about to explode. He pondered for a long time but couldn’t come up with a viable plan.

Finally, he could only sigh in resignation. He stood up and ambled out of the villa’s main gate, then out of the villa complex’s main gate.

He had no destination in mind; he just planned to walk around, get some fresh air, and see if any better ideas came to him.

Before he knew it, Fang Chenyi looked up and saw the small municipal waste transfer station.

Seeing it, Fang Chenyi couldn’t help but smile wryly. ’This must be what they call an occupational hazard...’

He shook his head. ’But since I’m here, I might as well go in and take a look.’

’Come to think of it, I haven’t been here in nearly three months.’

’The last time I came, my electric scooter was stolen.’

’Good thing I ambled over this time. At least I don’t have to worry about my scooter getting stolen.’

With a running start, he reached out, grabbed the fence, and vaulted over it with a light leap, landing inside the waste transfer station.

He strode inside and was greeted by a familiar sight.

Looking at the two large piles of assorted household trash, Fang Chenyi’s hands began to itch with anticipation.

He pulled out a brand-new Louis Vuitton clutch, then took his treasured woven bag out from inside it.

After shaking it open, he reached in again and took out the trash tongs that were also inside.

He walked over to one of the trash heaps and saw a large pile of cardboard boxes.

Looking at them, he saw they were fireworks boxes.

These were clearly from the fireworks he had heard last night.

’What a coincidence,’ he thought. ’I heard the sound yesterday, and today I’m seeing the boxes.’

Of course, Fang Chenyi didn’t dwell on it. He simply extended his tongs, grabbed a fireworks box, and dropped it into his woven bag.

Instantly, the System’s notification chimed in his mind.

[Host has collected one old fireworks box. Activating special system reward. Awarding one Super Half-City Firework. The reward has been placed in the woven bag. Please retrieve it at your convenience.]

Hearing the notification for a special reward, Fang Chenyi froze. It wasn’t about the item itself; it was that he hadn’t heard the sound of a special reward in a very long time.

Although he had been scavenging in his own waste treatment center almost every day recently, he hadn’t received a special system reward in over a week.

If it weren’t for the fact that he had triggered special rewards the first few times, Fang Chenyi would have thought that the junk in the waste treatment center couldn’t activate them at all.
