Chapter 321 Yueyue is going to make money!

She squatted down, not minding the dirt, and pulled them into her arms, giving them two big kisses on their chubby little faces.

"Oh, I miss Mom so much!"

"Have you been eating well these past few days? Have you been listening to Grandma?"

Gu Ping'an buried his face in Su Yue's neck and rubbed it against her, wiping his snot and tears all over Su Yue's haute couture coat that she had brought back from the capital.

"I miss...I miss my mom..."

Gu Ningjing held Su Yue's fingers tightly, as if afraid that she would run away again.

Gu Beichen walked over with a dark face, grabbed Gu Ping'an by the back of the neck, and lifted him up like a chick.

"How old are you to still be crying? Stand up straight!"

Gu Ping'an was suspended in mid-air, kicking his limbs wildly, and turned his head to cry even louder at Su Yue.

"Waaah—bad daddy! I want mommy!"

Su Yue couldn't help but burst out laughing.

She slapped Gu Beichen's hand away and rescued her son.

"Why are you getting angry with the child? You've been gone for over a month, and you don't even allow them to miss their mother?"

Gu Beichen pursed his lips, picked up his suitcase from the ground again, and strode into the house.

His back view exuded a sour feeling.

A rich aroma of food wafted from the room.

Zhang Huilan, wearing an apron and carrying a plate of braised prawns, greeted them with a cheerful expression.

"I'm back! I'm finally back!"

"Hurry up and wash your hands and eat! All the seafood is freshly bought from the dock, it's still alive and kicking!"

Grandma Chen sat in a rattan chair, her eyes narrowed into slits with laughter.

At the dinner table.

Braised prawns, steamed grouper, stir-fried crab with scallions and ginger, steamed sea urchin with egg...

A whole table was piled high with food.

That's the advantage of being on an island – seafood is plentiful.

Gu Beichen peeled a shrimp and placed it into Su Yue's bowl with utmost ease.

Peeled another one and put it into Su Yue's bowl.

Peel another one...

Gu Beixiao, sitting opposite him, was so angry he felt a toothache.

"Brother, can't you peel one for me too?"

Gu Beichen didn't even look up.

You have hands.

Gu Beixiao: "..."

He turned to look at Chu Jingya beside him, looking aggrieved.

"Honey, I want to eat shrimp."

Chu Jingya blushed and picked up a piece of green vegetable for him.

"Eating vegetables helps to reduce internal heat."

The meal was enjoyed very much.

All the intrigue and scheming in the capital seemed to be dispelled by the warm, lively atmosphere of the room.

This is home.

No matter how many people you kill or how many battles you win outside, when you come back here, you're just a husband peeling shrimp and a father disliked by your children.

After dinner, Zhang Huilan took the two children to take a bath.

Su Yue sat on the sofa to digest her food, and casually picked up the mirror on the table to look at herself.

His brows furrowed slightly.

I've only been back for half a day, and my face already feels a bit tight.

Although Hainan Island is humid, the sea breeze has a high salt content, and coupled with strong ultraviolet rays, it can be very damaging to the skin.

She touched the hand that Gu Ningjing had just grabbed.

The little girl's hands were a bit chapped and felt rough to the touch.

"This sea breeze is so harsh."

Su Yue muttered to herself.

She walked to the window and looked at the few clumps of aloe vera growing wildly in the corner of the yard.

That was planted casually by Zhang Huilan. No one cared for it, yet it grew plump and juicy.

Besides aloe vera, there are coconuts covering the mountains and countless pearls in the sea.

These are all top-quality skincare ingredients.

Nowadays, the best-selling items in department stores are face cream and clam oil.

But it's limited to moisturizing.

There is a near-complete lack of truly effective, repairing, and anti-aging high-end skincare products.

Su Yue's fingers tapped lightly on the windowsill.

This is a huge market.

Moreover, the raw materials are right at your doorstep, and there's not even a need for complicated processes.

If we rely on laboratory technology to extract aloe vera gel and pearl protein, and combine that with the formula she mastered in the 22nd century…

This is practically like picking up money off the ground.

A large hand suddenly wrapped around her waist from behind.

A burning hot body temperature was applied.

Gu Beichen rested his chin on the crook of her neck, his warm breath brushing against her ear.

"What are you thinking about? You seem so engrossed."

Su Yue's body went limp, and she leaned back into his arms.

"I'm thinking about how to make money."

Gu Beichen chuckled softly, his chest trembling slightly.

"I can't afford to support you?"

"That's different."

Su Yue turned around, wrapped her arms around his neck, and her eyes sparkled.

“Beichen, look at Ping An and Ning Jing’s faces, they’re all red from the sea breeze. The women here generally have rough skin. I’d like to make some skincare products.”

Gu Beichen raised an eyebrow.

"Skincare products?"

"Yes. We'll use local aloe vera and pearl powder to make a repair cream specifically for the island climate."

Su Yue became more and more excited as she spoke.

“Not only can we use them ourselves, but we can also sell them. There are so many military spouses in our compound, and there are also supply and marketing cooperatives outside, so these are all ready-made sales channels.”

"Moreover, this will also increase our lab's side income, so we don't have to keep asking for funding from above."

As Gu Beichen watched her beaming face, his gaze gradually deepened.

He doesn't care how much money he makes.

What he cared about was that her radiant appearance was too alluring.

He suddenly lowered his head and silenced that chattering little mouth.

"Hmm..."

Su Yue pushed him, but he didn't budge.

Gu Beichen's kiss was domineering and urgent, carrying a hint of punishment.

After a long while, he finally released her, his forehead pressed against hers, his voice hoarse.

"We'll talk about making money tomorrow."

"Now, let's settle our accounts."

Su Yue was panting, her cheeks flushed.

"What accounts...what accounts?"

Gu Beichen scooped her up in his arms and strode toward the bedroom.

“You ignored me at the airport, and when we got home, the kids wouldn’t talk to me. You only chatted with Mom during meals.”

"Shouldn't I be compensated for all these incidents, one by one?"

Su Yue was thrown onto the soft, large bed.

Before she could even get up, a heavy body pressed down on her.

"Gu Beichen! The door isn't locked yet..."

"No one dares to come in."

"Lights... turn off the lights..."

"No, it won't be closed."

He just wanted to keep an eye on her.

He watched her blossom beneath him, saw that he was the only one in her eyes.

The sound of the waves was very loud that night.

But the commotion inside the house was more turbulent than the ocean waves.

...

The next morning.

Su Yue was woken up by her biological clock.

My whole body aches as if I've been run over by a truck.

She gritted her teeth and sat up, glaring fiercely at the refreshed man next to her.

Beasts.

How can you have so much energy?

Gu Beichen was buttoning his shirt when he saw she was awake and leaned over to kiss her.

Su Yue slapped him across the face.

"Get out of the way! I'm going to be late!"

Today is her first day at the lab to report back from leave.

Although she was in charge and no one dared to record her attendance, she still had to maintain a proper attitude.

After a quick wash, Su Yue chose a light blue long dress and wore a white knitted cardigan over it.

She is both professional and graceful.

In an era dominated by gray, blue, and black, this outfit is definitely eye-catching.

She was carrying her bag when she stepped out of the compound gate.

I ran into a woman right in front of me.
