Chapter 66. The two men saw the female protagonist and heard a knock...
When the two saw the female protagonist hear the knocking and knowing there was danger, she still went to open the door. Liu Qingyue couldn't help but say angrily, "How could someone be so stupid? She just experienced something terrible during the day. There's no way she would open the door so late at night."
Upon hearing this, Qin Ren explained to him, "This film is an old one. There were relatively few female directors back then, and some male directors only cared about how to advance the plot and didn't really care about the female lead. In addition, there were some stereotypes. Many men thought that when women encountered danger, all they could do was cry and scream. They thought women were brainless, which is why they portrayed the female lead like that."
Upon hearing this, Liu Qingyue couldn't help but snort in dissatisfaction, and even the terrifying scenes she encountered no longer seemed so frightening.
"No, not all women can only cry and scream. I was able to escape from those bandits thanks to my clever and resourceful maid. It's just a pity... we got separated later, and I still don't know if she's alive or dead?"
His personal maid, who had received little formal education and training, was still able to be so intelligent and composed. Liu Qingyue felt that there must be many other women as intelligent as her.
He originally thought that women living in modern times were luckier than women and boys in ancient times.
However, it seems that in any era, such weak people are easily despised and suppressed.
Qin Ren reached out and tugged at his hand. "When I get back this time, I'll have people search everywhere. Maybe we can still find her."
"If only I could find her. I have a feeling something must have happened to her, otherwise she would have come looking for me."
Liu Qingyue's maid was an orphan, which meant that she would have nothing if she left Liu Qingyue and the Liu family.
If she were still alive, she would definitely have tried every means to find Liu Qingyue long ago.
Because Liu Qingyue thought the film was too idiotic, he had no intention of continuing to watch it.
He reached out and turned off the tablet, wanting Qin Ren to play games with him.
Then, turning around, I saw Qin Ren changing his clothes, seemingly about to take a shower.
Seeing this, Liu Qingyue took a step in front of him and reached out her little paw to touch Qin Ren's lower back.
Qin Ren stiffened and turned to look at him with a hint of helplessness.
Qin Ren: "What's wrong?"
Liu Qingyue looked at him enviously and said, "You have such a good figure."
As he said this, he lifted his shirt to look at his stomach.
Qin Ren has broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and long legs, with a slender, not overly exaggerated physique, which makes him look particularly handsome.
Unlike Liu Qingyue, whose waist used to be quite narrow and slender.
Recently, in preparation for pregnancy, his waist has noticeably gotten bigger, and he even has a bit of a belly.
Liu Qingyue pinched her own chubby little flesh, then compared it to Qin Ren's muscles, and suddenly felt a little teary-eyed.
Liu Qingyue: "After I give birth, I want to be like you."
Qin Ren nodded upon hearing this, "I'll sign you up for a gym class so you can get some exercise."
Upon hearing this, Liu Qingyue nodded and then suddenly pounced onto the bed.
Liu Qingyue said to Qin Ren, "Come on, give birth soon so we can finish the mission sooner and I can go exercise."
Qin Ren was amused by his anxious appearance. He thought Liu Qingyue was sometimes cute and a little silly.
Qin Ren walked to the bedside and leaned down slightly to look at him. Liu Qingyue didn't feel embarrassed at all.
They've been married for so long, and now they've consummated their marriage.
Liu Qingyue believed that since they were so familiar with each other, there was no need for her to feel ashamed of doing such a thing.
But... when Qin Ren looked at him like that, he suddenly felt embarrassed for some reason.
Liu Qingyue turned slightly to look at Qin Ren, "Don't look at me like that?"
Qin Ren: "Then should I close my eyes?"
"No, how can we have a baby if you close your eyes?"
"Then... what do you suggest we do?"
"Or how about this, I'll blindfold you?"
As Liu Qingyue said this, she found a gauze scarf.
This kind of veil covering his eyes wouldn't completely block Qin Ren's vision, but neither would he be able to see clearly.
Liu Qingyue felt that this way, he wouldn't have to be so shy.
Qin Ren nodded upon hearing this. He would generally go along with Liu Qingyue's requests unless they were particularly unreasonable.
Seeing that he had agreed, Liu Qingyue personally blindfolded him.
Seeing Qin Ren with his eyes covered, Liu Qingyue felt for some reason that Qin Ren looked much easier to bully than before.
Liu Qingyue smiled and cupped Qin Ren's cheeks, "Sometimes your eyes are a little scary, but now that your eyes are covered, you look a bit easy to bully."
Qin Ren smiled upon hearing this; he didn't think he was easy to bully.
Even if he is blind and cannot move his legs.
As long as he has one hand that can move, Liu Qingyue will only be bullied by him once she's in his hands.
However, since it was rare for Liu Qingyue to think he was easy to bully, Qin Ren did not deny what Liu Qingyue had just said.
Seeing his silent expression, Liu Qingyue reached out and pushed him to lie down on the bed.
Qin Ren, facing upwards, asked with a hint of helplessness, "Are you sure you want to do this?"
The still naive Liu Qingyue was unaware of the seriousness of the matter upon hearing this.
He laughed and said, "Yes, is that not okay?"
"Well... it's not impossible."
As Qin Ren said this, he reached out and grabbed Liu Qingyue's wrist.
With just a gentle pull, Liu Qingyue fell into his arms.
Liu Qingyue lay on top of him, her face flushing slightly.
He was a little unconvinced and tried to get up, but the next second his waist was encircled by Qin Ren.
...
The next day, Qin Ren stayed with Liu Qingyue until noon before leaving.
After seeing Qin Ren leave, Liu Qingyue smiled and took out her phone.
The two of them were really rowdy last night, and he hasn't been able to get up since this morning.
But it doesn't matter if he can't get up; he can play on his phone in bed.
Liu Qingyue quite enjoys spending time with Qin Ren, but occasionally she also wants some space of her own.
He felt that his current life was pretty good. He didn't have to be with Qin Ren every day, but they weren't separated for too long either.
Qin Ren would come back every few days, and he was free the rest of the time.
He can play games when he wants, and browse shopping apps when he wants.
If he wants to go out for a stroll occasionally, modern times are much safer than ancient times, and he won't be in any danger if he goes out by himself.
Liu Qingyue felt that things were fine as they were, as if she were married with a husband, yet still felt like she hadn't gotten married yet.
The advantage of not getting married is that you are more free. You don't have to worry about too many things and you can do whatever you want every day.
Getting married has its advantages, namely, having a loving and handsome husband.
Liu Qingyue took out her phone and ordered takeout. While waiting for the food, she stretched a little.
Perhaps because he had rested all morning, he was getting out of bed much more easily now than he had in the morning.
Actually, he didn't suffer much, except that his legs were a little weak and his lower back was very sore.
Seeing that he seemed a little uncomfortable, Bianbian leaned closer to protect him with her body.
Seeing this, Liu Qingyue couldn't help but praise, "Oh my, our Bianbian is so well-behaved and sensible!"
Bianbian is a native dog, much easier to raise than many expensive breeds.
There's no need to give it any special treats; it eats dog food most of the time, and occasionally it'll eat some odds and ends with them.
Because Bianbian was so easy to raise, Liu Qingyue assumed that all dogs were like it and wondered if she should get another small dog.
Bianbian is a crossbreed of a mixed-breed dog and a large breed. It looks quite big now, completely different from how it looked when it was a puppy.
When it was little, it was small and chubby, round and plump, completely different from how it is now.
Compared to the big, flat guy who could easily bump into him, Liu Qingyue still missed the little flat guy from before.
However, raising a dog is no small matter; it's no different from raising a child.
Liu Qingyue and Qin Ren are planning to have a child, and they don't have the energy to raise another puppy for the time being.
Liu Qingyue thought it best to wait and see. When they have the time and energy in the future, they can raise as many puppies as they want.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Qin Ren returned from the modern era to ancient times and went to Liu Qingyue's shop with a bunch of goods.
These goods were all items Liu Qingyue wanted to sell, because she frequently bought cosmetics from that shop. Qin Ren then took Liu Qingyue to contact the cosmetics company, and they've been discussing a collaboration with them for the past few days.
From then on, they purchased 500 units of cosmetics from that store every month.
These 500 items are mainly face cream, sunscreen, eyebrow pencils, and blush.
The amount isn't huge, but since a two-year contract can be signed, the manufacturer is still very willing to cooperate.
In recent years, cosmetic brands have sprung up everywhere. The cosmetic brand that Liu Qingyue bought is a fairly standard, small brand.
Their company's cosmetics don't sell very well, but in order to increase revenue and for the company's development, they are willing to try any cooperation that comes their way.
When Qin Ren cooperated with them, he made a request to the other side.
His requirement was simple: the product's logo could not be printed on the product.
In today's society, without proper trademarks, many products are difficult to sell.
Goods with trademarks are hard to sell, and goods without trademarks are considered "three-no" products (products without manufacturer information, production date, or quality certification), so even fewer people are willing to buy them.
Of course, the merchants don't really care; they only care about whether their products can be sold.
Qin Ren's requirements were very simple for them; they just needed to skip one step in the production process. So they were quite happy to cooperate this time.
Qin Ren bought the lipsticks and lip balms from another merchant for Liu Qingyue's shop.
This merchant values brand image and is unwilling to remove their trademark for a few hundred orders.
Qin Ren had no choice but to order the goods from them first, and they could find artisans in ancient times to make the outer packaging themselves.
It just so happens that Qin Ren's fiefdom doesn't have any special industries, so Qin Ren needs someone to make these rouge boxes, which indirectly boosts the local economy.
Of course, since Liu Qingyue's shop was small, they didn't need many rouge boxes, so they didn't have much money.
However, having something is still better than having nothing at all.
At least it allows a small number of artisans to make money, which is a good thing.
Qin Ren took the goods back to ancient times, processed them slightly, and then sent them to the shop.
There's a shopkeeper there who sells things. This shopkeeper is a young woman who was personally hired by Liu Qingyue.
Qin Ren delivered the goods with his men, inquired about the shop's situation over the past two days, and then left in a flurry with his men.
He has already produced the cement in the past few days. Others are unaware of its importance, so they don't know what it is when they see it.
Seeing that the weather had cleared up in the last two days, Qin Ren decided to take his men and give it a try.
Let's try it out at his house first. If there's anything wrong, we can gradually improve it.
Then, on the way to the new house, Qin Ren encountered Wen Lingzheng, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.
Wen Lingzheng came specifically for him, so she stopped Qin Ren as soon as she saw him.
Wen Lingzheng: "Wen Lingzheng, the heir of the Marquis of Zhenbei, pays his respects to the Marquis of Yuling."
According to their titles, Qin Ren is now at the same level as the Marquis of Zhenbei.
However, in terms of real power, Qin Ren, as a marquis, had less than a third of the power of the Marquis of Zhenbei.
Seeing Lingzheng bow to him in such a proper manner, Qin Ren felt quite uncomfortable.
Qin Ren: "No need for formalities, we are friends, there's no need for such politeness."
Upon hearing this, Wen Lingzheng really stopped being polite to Qin Ren.
As he straightened up, he explained his purpose to Qin Ren, "So, did you manage to get the tire out?"
Wen Lingzheng was still thinking about his car.
Qin Ren smiled and said, "I've been busy building a new mansion recently, so I haven't had time to take care of important matters yet."
Wen Lingzheng wasn't angry when she heard this. Qin Ren hadn't been here long. He still didn't have a proper place to stay, so he couldn't rush to take care of other things.
"Alright, I've just gotten into trouble recently, and His Majesty banished me from the capital. I'll just stay here with you for now."
Upon hearing this, Qin Ren did not ask what he had done wrong, but immediately sent someone to arrange accommodation.
Seeing this, Wen Lingzheng asked him, "Where are you going? Can I go with you?"
He doesn't have any real power now, and he's been quite bored lately.
“Sure, I was just about to go see the house I’m building. If you’re bored, young marquis, you can come with me.”
Qin Ren and Wen Lingzheng are both from the North, and are much taller than most men from the South.
When Qin Ren walks around on his own, his exceptionally tall stature is quite eye-catching.
Today he also brought Wen Lingzheng with him, making the two of them even more conspicuous on the street.
Almost wherever the two of them went, people would stop and stare at them.
Qin Ren was already used to such stares, so he didn't care at all that people were looking at him.
But Wen Lingzheng was different. He didn't like being stared at, and whenever someone stared at him, he couldn't help but look up and glare back.
Because of his illustrious status and his association with Marquis Yuling, many ordinary people knew that his identity was not simple.
Even though they thought Wen Lingzheng looked like he deserved a beating, they didn't dare to do anything out of line to him.
When the two finally arrived at the house built by Qin Ren, several craftsmen were studying the strange cement.
Suddenly seeing Qin Ren approaching, a craftsman cautiously stepped forward and asked, "My lord, what exactly is this thing you requested?"
Qin Ren: "I'm not really sure either, but I saw that it can be molded when it gets wet and becomes exceptionally strong after drying, so I thought it might have other unusual uses."
