Chapter: 3400

As she was speaking, Helena quickly explained: "Mainly because in Europe, most young people after graduating from university rarely ask their parents for money. Myself and many of my friends have mostly relied on scholarships and student loans to get through university. In general, I don't often ask my family for help, so maybe we can just skip the change-of-name fee?"

Ye Zhongjun's face was bewildered as he hastily stepped forward, gently grasping Helena's hand and saying: "Dear, how can we skip this?"

Helena's beautiful eyebrows involuntarily furrowed when Ye Zhongjun touched her, but she quickly withdrew her hand.

She didn't have any feelings for Ye Zhongjun, only unable to resist family arrangements, so she had to accept the arranged marriage.

Deep down in her heart, she was still struggling with this decision, and that struggle was simply not to get physically close to Ye Zhongjun until they were formally married.

These days, Helena had been in Beijing, and Ye Zhongjun had been trying to take things further, even sending her back to her hotel several times, wanting to go into her room, but she kept turning him down.

Ye Zhongjun was eager, but didn't dare be too pushy.

So he could only pretend to be a gentleman with a smile and pass the time.

But deep in his heart, he had already cursed Helena's reserve for dozens of times.

At this moment, seeing that Helena wouldn't even let him hold her hand, Ye Zhongjun's anger grew even greater inside.

He couldn't help but mutter to himself: "These Northern European girls don't know what's real and what's not! They're always so pretentious, like they're made of gold, and won't even let me touch their hand once!"

"So if you really are an innocent little girl on your wedding day, I'll just tolerate you. But if you've already been with someone else's leftover flowers and willow branches, then wait until after we're married and I'll make sure to clean up the mess for you!"

The scene of Ye Fei holding hands with Helena that was dodged by others fell on other members of the Ye family, each person having their own thoughts.

As Ye Fei's father, Ye Changkong also had some dissatisfaction in his heart, feeling that Helena wasn't giving his son face.

However, Ye Zhongjun felt even more strongly that Helena was a rare good woman, born and raised in an open-minded European society, but unexpectedly able to be so steadfast in her principles. It's hard to find someone like this as a daughter-in-law, not only will it bring reputation but also reduce the likelihood of various scandals.

If he were to marry a woman with a loose character, it would cause quite a scandal and bring shame to his family.

Ye Fei felt awkward inside and could only quickly change the subject and shift everyone's attention away.

So he told Helena, "Dear, whether it's dowry or bridal money, these are all our household funds after we're married. This is the intention of our elders. How can we refuse? So, just fit in with the local customs and don't worry about these details."

But Helena responded with righteous language, saying, "If it's your household funds, then I'll only accept yours, that's not fair. But if both families take it, I won't know how to tell my parents about this tradition. So I think we should just skip these customs and be flexible."

Ye Fei was furious, thinking, "Have you lost your mind? When we get married, even just the bridal money can bring in hundreds of millions of dollars! That's equivalent to four or five billion yuan. You're saying don't take it?!"

Just as Ye Fei was getting all worked up, Ye Zhongjun looked at his watch and said, "Okay, little Fei, you'd better hurry off to the airport to pick up Chen er, otherwise we'll be late. We can discuss these things later."

"Okay." Ye Fei could only agree, looked at Helena and thought for a moment, then said with a smile: "Darling, if you're not busy, why don't you come with me to the airport?"

As soon as Ye Fei suddenly mentioned taking him to the airport, Helena looked at him in puzzlement and asked suspiciously: "Are we going to the airport now? Is there something up?"

Ye Fei explained: "It's like this, I have an uncle who has been drifting for 20 years. Today is his first time back to Yanjing, and my brother Houhou and I are preparing to pick him up at the airport. You're his future wife, so if you don't have anything else to do, why not come with me to pick him up?"

Helena listened and immediately nodded without hesitation: "No problem, that's reasonable." JrNovels.com
