Shi Nian'an's mouth twitched. Who the hell told him that?
It's true that traditionally, the man prepares the house and car for marriage, while the woman brings a dowry. However, the man's house and car aren't seen as being furnished for the woman; they are just needed for marriage, and the ownership is contentious, especially when it comes to divorce and division of assets.
Lao He clearly interpreted it as the man unilaterally providing for the woman, which is different.
Nian'an immediately felt that Lao He was lucky to have met such a good woman who was neither dark-hearted nor scheming.
