Duan Ye didn't speak, and Luo Qingyuan just nestled in his arms, looking at him with her beautiful, harmless eyes.
Finally, Duan Ye sighed and hugged the person even tighter.
"Keep these things. I don't have high aspirations for life."
Luo Qingyuan asked, puzzled and somewhat anxious, "Hmm? Don't you believe I can give you all this? Or do you think it's not enough...?"
Duan Ye was both amused and exasperated. He stroked her fingers as he said, "No, I'm serious. I need to have my own career. My dad and I are both researchers."
“We’re involved in aerospace, and we’ve signed a confidentiality agreement. I need to climb the ladder as quickly as possible, get involved in the core areas, and contribute to the country. So… you can handle the business aspects yourself.”
Luo Qingyuan was truly shocked this time.
In the field of aerospace…
It's not like they're building spaceships, is it?
But Luo Qingyuan also knew that Duan Ye's promise of secrecy...
So she behaved herself and didn't ask any more questions, only saying, "Your family really is... handing everything over to the state."
Duan Ye smiled. Actually, he had several uncles, but they had all sacrificed their lives, leaving only his father and eldest uncle.
Of my grandfather's generation, only my grandfather is left. I heard that the other grandfathers passed away when they were young.
But for the sake of their family and country, the Duan family has never wavered in their determination to pass down their traditions from generation to generation.
Although we are now living in a peaceful and prosperous era, the country's development must continue, and there are some things that must be done.
This was the first time Duan Ye had hinted to Luo Qingyuan about what kind of work he did.
Luo Qingyuan sighed and hugged him tightly.
"Luckily I acted quickly, otherwise, as you become more and more outstanding, we might never see each other again."
The night air was cool, but their hearts were warm.
Thinking back to their first encounter, Duan Ye couldn't help but feel a little emotional. He never imagined that Luo Qingyuan would be so formidable...
He had only graduated not long ago and knew nothing, yet he was lured home like this.
Duan Ye rubbed his wife's head: "Well, it's lucky you acted quickly, otherwise I would have run away long ago."
If he wanted to hide, even if Luo Qingyuan were the richest man in the world, she wouldn't be able to find him.
Luo Qingyuan was also glad that she had made those absurd decisions secretly.
Now that both sides have spoken openly, Duan Ye thought for a moment and said, "Didn't you say your parents are going back to China? How about we arrange for my parents and your parents to meet and discuss the wedding?"
Luo Qingyuan paused for a moment, then nodded: "Okay."
In short, she no longer had the intention of keeping it a secret.
If her parents disagree, her older brother and sister-in-law will help her.
Luo Qingyuan: "Then let's live in Moon Bay from now on. Although it's a bit far from work, we can get up a little earlier and I can hire a driver for you."
Duan Ye had no objection to where he would stay.
"You can arrange everything at home."
Luo Qingyuan beamed with joy: "Great!"
Duan Ye: "My grandfather will arrive in Kyoto the day after tomorrow. He's chosen a date to visit the Shen family and propose marriage. You..."
Before Duan Ye could finish speaking, Luo Qingyuan hugged him and said, "My older brother, sister-in-law, and I are here to support you."
Duan Ye: "No need, just follow your schedule."
Duan Ye thought to himself, Duan Ze is quite fast, and he dealt with the Shen family even faster, without even needing his younger brother's help.
Luo Qingyuan shook her head and said, "Niannian definitely wants me to go, and with my older brother there, the Shen family values this marriage even more."
"You don't need to be so polite with me, we're family."
Duan Ye nodded and said, "Okay, I'll do whatever you say."
Luo Qingyuan smiled, tilted her head back, and kissed Duan Ye's cheek.
This time, Duan Ye wasn't about to let her go. He scooped her up in his arms and carried her downstairs. Recalling those unspeakable scenes, Luo Qingyuan's ears turned red, and her body felt uncontrollably hot, but she also felt a surge of anticipation, making her even more shy...
Until, Duan Ye's soft voice came from above.
"You said I was your master today, is that right?"
Luo Qingyuan's expression suddenly froze. She released her arms from Duan Ye's neck and struggled to get down.
"It wasn't me, I didn't say that."
Duan Ye wasn't going to let her escape so easily. Luo Qingyuan, that woman, needed to be taught a lesson, otherwise she'd always speak so recklessly.
Thus, Luo Qingyuan was forced to be carried on Duan Ye's shoulder, head down.
She struggled, still indignant: "Duan Ye, you can't repay kindness with enmity! I've given you so many benefits! Even if you don't remember my kindness, you can't treat me like this..."
Duan Ye raised his hand and slapped her pert buttocks.
Luo Qingyuan's face turned even redder, both ashamed and angry: "Duan Ye! You bastard!"
“I don’t care about those things, but I do care about the mistakes you made.”
"I'd like to see and hear how you plan to be a master."
Upon reaching the bedroom, Duan Ye kicked the door open and went in. Luo Qingyuan clung to the doorframe, her face full of reluctance. She felt... her back might break tonight.
She was willing if they were mutually attracted, but she chickened out because Duan Ye was so terrifying.
"Ah Ye, let's talk this out. I misspoke today. Why are you holding a grudge?"
Luo Qingyuan watched helplessly as Duan Ye pulled her hand away from the door and slammed the door shut with a hook of his leg.
Luo Qingyuan was thrown onto the bed. Duan Ye took off his shirt and walked over. He smiled gently, but in Luo Qingyuan's eyes, it was terrifying.
