Ren Jin noticed that Gu Yueji had been staring intently at her brother, Gu Jiahui, lately.
Gu Jiahui and Sun Xiaohui are now living in the show flat they lived in before moving into their new house. During this time, Gu Yueji has been teaching them the workflow and skills of live streaming, while also having Sun Xiaohui try on clothes from her online store to familiarize herself with the store's clothing styles and learn makeup and styling.
Two weeks ago, Gu Jiahui and Sun Xiaohui started their first live broadcast. Although they were a little awkward and the atmosphere was a bit slow, they still managed to finish the entire broadcast. Moreover, the two of them seemed quite happy and were not uncomfortable with having to face all sorts of people in the live broadcast room.
Ren Jin went straight to the model room to find someone after returning from the construction site today. During this period, Gu Yueji has spent almost all her time here except when she goes home to sleep at night, giving Gu Jiahui and Sun Xiaohui hands-on guidance.
Fortunately, the two are getting to know each other better, and I believe that it won't be long before Gu Jiahui and Sun Xiaohui are able to do their own live streams. This way, Gu Yueji won't have to come here every day, and he can go straight home to hug his wife instead of having to come here every day and urge someone to go home.
After dinner, Gu Jiahui and Sun Xiaohui were washing dishes in the kitchen when Ren Jin noticed that Gu Yueji was staring at Gu Jiahui's back again.
He frowned, coughed lightly to remind her, but she didn't react.
He coughed again, but she still didn't hear him.
Ren Jin finally couldn't take it anymore and reached out to cover her eyes.
Gu Yueji stepped back slightly, looking at him strangely, "What?"
Ren Jin frowned and looked at her. "Do you have some kind of brother complex?"
Gu Yueji asked as if she had heard something unbelievable, "What kind of complex?"
Ren Jin pinched her chin, making her look at him. "Why are you staring at your brother?"
Gu Yueji was amused by his words, "How come I never noticed before?"
"What did you find?"
Gu Yueji also reached out and pinched his cheek, "I've discovered you're a huge jealous person!"
Ren Jin pursed his lips, denying it, "Then why are you staring at your brother? Your man is sitting right here."
Gu Yueji took his hand away and angrily scratched his palm. "I was thinking about work! Unlike you, who's always thinking about random, nonsensical things."
"What work-related matter?"
"I want to carve out a section in my online store specifically for couple's clothing."
"Couple's style?"
"Yes, it's a couple's style featuring Jia Hui and Xiao Hui as models."
To make Gu Jiahui and Sun Xiaohui less nervous during the live stream and to ensure they could cooperate and avoid awkward silences, Gu Yueji had planned a different style for the live stream from the very beginning. Gu Jiahui and Sun Xiaohui would appear on camera as a couple, with Sun Xiaohui modeling the clothes while Gu Jiahui helped her adjust them and explained the design details to the audience.
Unexpectedly, some unintentional sweet interactions between Gu Jiahui and Sun Xiaohui in the live broadcast room unexpectedly gained them an extra group of fans. For example, Gu Jiahui gently and carefully helped Sun Xiaohui get dressed, and Sun Xiaohui held a water cup to feed Gu Jiahui water and wiped his mouth. Whenever the two had these small gestures, the popularity of the live broadcast room would increase.
This gradually gave Gu Yueji the idea of making matching couple outfits.
"If the couple's style sells well, it can also increase the factory's production, which is a win-win situation." One of the reasons Gu Yueji wanted to make couple's style was to increase the number of orders for the garment factory.
"So you were staring at Gu Jiahui because you wanted to design a men's version for him?"
"Yes, I've searched online, and there are very few shops that specialize in making nice couple's clothes. Many just print the same pattern on the clothes and call it a couple's outfit. The quality of the clothes is average, and the patterns aren't very nice. It's like disposable clothes for a date, and I don't like wearing them normally. I want to make some high-quality, well-designed couple's clothes that two people can wear together as matching outfits, and that would also look good on one person."
Ren Jin then realized that he had been overthinking things; his wife didn't care about men at all, only about money.
He suddenly asked a question, "How much money would you be satisfied with?"
Gu Yueji was taken aback; she hadn't thought about this question before.
"The more the better."
Ren Jin looked at Gu Yueji and sometimes thought that she didn't actually need to work so hard.
Gu Yueji is a person who doesn't have much entertainment. She doesn't go shopping, travel, use her phone, or binge-watch TV series. She also doesn't have a concept of rest days. Except for holidays or some special circumstances, she works all year round.
She seems to always be busy with live streaming, online stores, and garment factories.
"Have you ever thought about quitting and letting me support you?" Ren Jin suddenly asked.
Gu Yueji was taken aback.
He would support her? She had never even considered it.
From the first day she met him, she worked hard to earn money to pay off her debts. Or rather, from the time she left home at 18, she worked hard to earn money to support herself. Earning money was her instinct for survival. Even after learning about Ren Jin's true financial situation, and even though he now regularly shares a portion of his earnings with her, she never considered not working and staying home to be supported by Ren Jin.
They hadn't discussed this before, and Gu Yueji became curious. "You want to take care of me?"
Ren Jin raised an eyebrow. "It's not that I don't want to, and it's not that I don't want to."
Perhaps because he understood Gu Yueji's independent personality, he never thought of her as a flower that needed to be kept at home, and he never said anything like "I will take care of you". But sometimes when he saw her looking tired, he would think that with him around, she wouldn't have to be so tired.
Ren Jin looked at Gu Yueji seriously and said, "It mainly depends on your own thoughts. If you don't feel tired, of course you can continue. But if you are tired, you can take a break. You can earn less money. Anyway, the money I earn should be enough for you to spend, right?"
It feels really good to have someone to back you up and give you a way out.
Gu Yueji felt warm and tender inside. Touching his skin, which had become rough from years of sun and rain, she felt sorry for his handsome face.
"My wish is to make lots and lots of money so that you can retire as soon as possible, so you won't have to go to the construction site every day to be exposed to the wind and sun and inhale dust."
Working on construction sites is always a dangerous job. The working environment is poor, working day and night is common, and you also have to socialize and drink. There are always various tiring tasks and worries.
Ren Jin's lips curved slightly, his eyes softening with tenderness. "As expected of my dear wife, I'll wait for you to take care of me."
