"Xiaoyu, are you shy?"

Wang Qian said jokingly and strode towards the bedside.

"How's your business in the county town going?"

Lin Xiaoyu quickly changed the subject.

"It went very smoothly!"

Wang Qian nodded and reached out to stroke Lin Xiaoyu's face.

But then he took it back.

Because he noticed that Lin Xiaoyu's face was very hot.

To be precise, his hands were too cold.

After all, it was the dead of winter, and he had just come back from outside; his hands were frozen solid.

Lin Xiaoyu stayed inside taking care of the baby, so her hands were warm.

He touched Lin Xiaoyu's cheek with such cold hands; she must have felt very uncomfortable.

But just as he pulled back, Lin Xiaoyu grabbed him again.

"It's alright, let it in to warm up!"

As she spoke, Lin Xiaoyu pulled his hand under the covers.

A warm feeling instantly welled up in Wang Qian's heart.

A subtle gesture perfectly illustrated what true love is.

Where's Xiao Chao?

While Wang Qian was lost in thought, Lin Xiaoyu asked again, "Didn't he come back with you?"

"No!"

Wang Qian shook his head. "I put him in charge of opening the store, but he can't come back for a while."

"Can he manage it?" Lin Xiaoyu asked with some concern.

"You really underestimate your younger brother!"

Wang Qian smiled gently. "His potential is much greater than you imagine."

"Really?"

Lin Xiaoyu's face lit up with joy. "Then tell me quickly, what did he do?"

Wang Qian was patient and immediately recounted Lin Chao's courage, judgment, and other strengths one by one.

Of course, he didn't mention anything about his business meeting with Gao Churou that night, or the somewhat ambiguous details.

"Little Chao has grown up!"

After listening, Lin Xiaoyu looked relieved. "In my heart, I always thought he was an immature little kid. I never expected that he would be able to stand on his own now."

"I believe he will do even better in the future."

A look of expectation appeared on Wang Qian's face. "As long as he works hard with me, one day I will help him create his own career."

"Thank you!"

Lin Xiaoyu suddenly said this, her gaze towards Wang Qian filled with gratitude and an indescribable tenderness.

"What are you saying?"

Wang Qian was immediately displeased. "You actually said 'thank you' to me?"

"I……"

Lin Xiaoyu was taken aback.

After realizing what was happening, she suddenly leaned over and gave Wang Qian a light peck on the lips.

She quickly withdrew her hand, a blush rising on her cheeks.

Wang Qian smacked his lips, seemingly still wanting more.

However, considering Lin Xiaoyu's current physical condition, he did not do anything impulsive.

To distract himself from the restless thoughts lurking deep inside, he forcibly changed the subject, "By the way, Xiao Niangui will be a month old in nineteen days. By then, our new house should be almost finished being renovated. Should we tell everyone in advance about the full-month celebration?"

"Are you really going to do it?" Lin Xiaoyu asked.

"Of course we should do it!"

Wang Qian's attitude was firm: "You have continued the Wang family line, so we must let everyone come and celebrate, to bring good luck to Xiao Niangui."

"If you've made up your mind, then let's do it your way!"

Lin Xiaoyu hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Do you want to invite those people you do business with?"

"Those people I do business with?" Wang Qian was taken aback.

"It's Mr. Li Guangsheng, and the other two shareholders of Tianming Snacks Co., Ltd."

"Let them go!"

After careful consideration, Wang Qian shook his head. "Business is business, and family is family. I don't want to bring my business friends into my family circle."

"But don't forget, when we went to the hospital, Boss Li gave us a hundred yuan," Lin Xiaoyu reminded her.

Wang Qian frowned slightly.

Indeed, business circles and family circles are sometimes intertwined and cannot be clearly defined or separated.

And then there's his brother-in-law, Lin Chao. If it weren't for their relationship, he wouldn't have offered him such a high salary, much less gone to the trouble of cultivating him.

There's also Gao Churou and Liu Yanran, who were originally just business friends, but no matter how he sees it, there will always be personal grudges and feelings involved.

So after considering everything, he said, "Then we won't give any special notice. Anyone who knows can come if they want, and those who don't want to come, or who don't know, can just leave it at that."

"Anyway, we keep a record of all the gifts we give. If someone comes to our house, we'll return the gift. If someone doesn't come, we'll pretend we don't know anything about their future banquets."

Lin Xiaoyu had no objection to this. "If it's decided, I'll have Mom inform our relatives and friends tomorrow."

"good!"

Wang Qian nodded, then took Lin Xiaoyu's hand and said, "Xiaoyu, the roasted green pepper sauce you made might become the pillar of our future business."

"Really?"

Lin Xiaoyu couldn't help but be a little surprised.

That roasted green pepper sauce was just a simple, homemade dish she made on a whim according to her own taste, but she never expected it to receive such high praise from Wang Qian.

"Do you know how much I'll sell a bottle for at the county fair this time?" Wang Qian asked mysteriously.

"How much?" Lin Xiaoyu asked cooperatively.

Wang Qian hurriedly stretched out a hand.

"Five cents a bottle?"

Lin Xiaoyu exclaimed in surprise, "People actually buy these at such high prices?"
