Xiao Ling: [Two Resurrection Pills.]
Qiao Zhen: [...You're a system, so the Soul-Returning Pill is useless against you.]
Xiao Ling: [Then let's waste two.]
Qiao Zhen: [Deal made.]
Xiao Ling launched a warship into the void and said in a calm yet androgynous voice, "Greetings, Your Majesty. I am Ada Ling from Planet NIBABA, and currently serve as the personal bodyguard of the King and Queen. Please take care of me."
Qi Yijuan stared in shock at the scene before him. He instinctively pulled Qiao Zhen into his arms. He looked at the screen projected in the air, then at Qiao Zhen, his eyes filled with disbelief.
Xiao Ling: [There's a projector on the bedside table behind you, and a listening device in Qi Yijuan's suit pocket. You're welcome.]
Qiao Zhen: [Okay, you're such a sweet little darling.]
Xiao Ling: [o(*////▽////*)q]
Seeing Qi Yijuan's wary expression, Qiao Zhen couldn't help but chuckle. "Just kidding."
She turned and picked up the projector from the side. "Here, this is a clip from an obscure film. As for why I was able to save you, it's because I planted a listening device in your suit. You can check it yourself."
Qi Yijuan rolled over and lay face down on the edge of the bed. He reached out and hooked the suit jacket on the floor, revealing a small listening device inside. He grinned, but when he turned around, he looked agitated and angry. "How could you do this! You eavesdropped on me! Don't you trust me at all?!"
Qiao Zhen suppressed a laugh and looked at Qi Yijuan with remorse, "I'm sorry, I'll never do such a thing again."
Qi Yijuan said awkwardly, "Considering that you saved me this time and are my wife, I'll allow you to put a bug on me."
Qiao Zhen burst out laughing, sprawling on her back. She poked Qi Yijuan's forehead with her fingertip, "You! Do you think I don't know what you're thinking? Keep laughing to yourself."
She had traveled through many dimensions and had some understanding of Qi Yijuan's psychology. He was very possessive of her, and he certainly hoped that she would also show a strong possessiveness towards him.
The next day, the two returned to City A. After Qi Yijuan discovered the shady deal between Qi Ze and Yao Anjing, he felt nothing but disgust.
Yao Anjing actually used her body to get Qi Ze's help, and Qi Ze actually agreed.
In the afternoon, Qi Yijuan sat in the driver's seat. He had been preoccupied since yesterday, but he had calmed down a bit this morning. He looked at Qiao Zhen, who was sitting in the passenger seat, and asked, "Wife, what will I do if I really go bankrupt?"
Qiao Zhen's smile deepened as she rested her head against the car window. "I'll take care of you."
Although Qiao Zhen answered like that, Qi Yijuan still felt very insecure. He was afraid that after going bankrupt, he and Qiao Zhen would become an unhappy couple because of money.
He pestered Qiao Zhen day and night, saying "I love you" a hundred and eighty times a day. No matter what Qiao Zhen did, he stubbornly stayed by her side.
Don't you go to work?
"They're on the verge of bankruptcy."
Qi Yijuan's answer was both unreasonable and arrogant. He hugged Qiao Zhen from behind and rested his face against her back, "You'll want me, right?"
Qiao Zhen sighed helplessly. He had worn down her patience. She slammed the cleaver on the cutting board. "Qi Yijuan."
"Hmm..." This was the first time she had ever called him by his full name in such a serious tone. Qi Yijuan's heart trembled, and he felt very uneasy. He unconsciously tightened his grip on Qiao Zhen's arm.
Qiao Zhen could always quickly sense changes in a man's mood. She turned to face him and said, "You know what? You can earn money if you don't have any, but a man who uses money to maintain his sense of security is pathetic."
"You're still young, you have a long life ahead of you. You're good-looking, and most people in this society judge by appearance. You're a promising talent, so what are you afraid of?"
Qi Yijuan buried his face in Qiao Zhen's chest, "I'm afraid you'll leave me, but I'm not afraid of being broke..."
“You’re just afraid that I’ll leave you because you don’t have money.” Qiao Zhen finished what he hadn’t said, “It’s not your money I’m after, it’s your face.”
From then on, Qi Yijuan began to actively search for various beauty-enhancing foods and handmade face masks recommended by others on the forum.
Qiao Zhen's feelings were very complicated. Looking at the messy tools for making face masks in the kitchen, she could only silently tidy up for Qi Yijuan.
Qiao Zhen: [Xiao Ling, do you think Qi Yijuan will become completely despondent if he runs out of money?]
Xiao Ling: [I don't know, humans are very complex. Some people seem strong, they think they can face certain things calmly, but when they actually happen, they may suffer irreparable trauma.]
Qiao Zhen: [Goodness, what if Qi Yijuan becomes completely despondent and spends all his time hugging his face? He might even go so far as to get plastic surgery. Wouldn't that be an eyesore?]
Xiao Ling: [Ah...negative emotions can easily age a person.]
Qiao Zhen: [Go and buy the shares from the anonymous shareholder of Qiao Qi's Company. Use money to buy them.]
Xiao Ling: [Why? We don't need to spend a single penny more.]
Qiao Zhen: [Huh? ??? You're not up to any ulterior motives, are you trying to tamper with someone's memories?]
Xiao Ling: [You're the anonymous shareholder! I saw how afraid you were of Qi Yijuan, so I bought a lot of shares in his company, seventeen percent of them.]
Qiao Zhen: [Then go buy some more, the more the better. It's best to pretend different people are buying them.]
Xiao Ling: [Okay, I'll wait for news in three days.]
Qi Yijuan has stopped managing the company recently and has simply become a hands-off CEO. The company doesn't need him, so why should he waste time with Qiao Zhen doing those thankless tasks?
