"I'm currently pursuing my wife... and at the same time, I'm discussing collaborations with a lovely and charming supplier, hoping to conduct an on-site inspection during this trip."
Mo Chen pondered for a moment and came up with a way to subtly imply his own agenda.
He didn't intend to use moral blackmail; he felt that Zixi should hand over the items to the research institute.
So pursuing a wife is a matter of his lifelong happiness; as for other things, let fate decide.
He might mention it briefly, but if Chu Xiaoxi doesn't want to, she doesn't.
"Stop talking nonsense! How can you talk so grandly about picking up girls? And you're making up stories for me!"
"I'm telling you, even if she saved you, you can't..."
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the communicator, followed by the leader's furious voice.
“Father, I know what I’m doing.”
"Please handle the matters concerning the capital planet first. Contact me only if there is an emergency."
"In addition, I am not making up stories, so send me the latest equipment from the research institute, all of it must be the latest."
Mo Chen interrupted him, his voice filled with unwavering determination. He paused, then added.
Without waiting for the leader's response, he hung up the call again and promptly put the communication on silent mode.
He tossed the communicator aside, walked to the window upstairs, and looked at the familiar figure in the neighboring courtyard who was squatting down with a small basket, doing something he couldn't tell what.
He preferred staying here to the cutthroat politics and endless banquets of the capital planet.
He was guarding his beloved Xiaoxi.
On the third day after becoming neighbors, Mo Chen, who had been spying on Zi Xi for several days, finally couldn't hold back any longer and found an excuse to formally visit her.
Mo Chen used the excuse of thanking him for taking care of him on the desolate planet and presented the equipment that had already been sent over as a housewarming gift.
He deliberately changed into a casual outfit, but his aloof and superior demeanor still clashed somewhat with the rustic cottage.
He was also carrying an exquisite gift box, which contained a limited-edition dessert made by a master chef and a spatial bracelet that he had brought from the capital planet.
Mo Chen felt a mix of nervousness and anticipation that he himself was unaware of.
"Amo, is this your full-size face? It's so handsome! Come in!"
Zi Xi opened the door, somewhat stunned. When she saw him, she looked puzzled. After a moment of mental struggle, she suddenly had an expression of sudden realization.
She was wearing pink overalls that were a little muddy and a simple T-shirt, and her hair was casually tied into a bun.
A few strands of hair fell across her forehead, and her face still had a flush from working; she looked very energetic.
"Xiao Xi looks even better than in the hologram."
“I was on vacation and heard you lived here, so I chose this planet.”
"This is just a small token of my appreciation."
Mo Chen handed it over like a treasure, his gaze involuntarily fixed on her face, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up.
His wife is really beautiful. Just like she often says, she's a cute and charming villain.
"Oh, you're too kind!"
"Come in and sit down. I just baked some cookies using wheat and eggs grown in the backyard. Try them!"
When she saw her friend, who had faked his death, come to find her, Zi Xi was very excited and happily accepted the gift, her eyes sparkling.
Zi Xi had fair skin and delicate features, with a pair of bright, round doe eyes gazing at him.
Mo Chen felt his heart skip a beat, and his mind went completely blank and dizzy.
My wife was babbling something, and her lips looked so pink and tender.
Zi Xi warmly led him to the living room and brought out some warm, not-so-regularly shaped but very fragrant cookies.
