By 10 p.m., the two were already half-drunk.
"You should rest!"
Huang Bo reminded her, "You've been away in Linjiang City for so long, and your sister-in-law has been taking care of the child alone at home. She's finally back, so don't neglect her!"
"It's my sister-in-law!" Wang Qian corrected again.
"Go on, I'll sit for a while longer before I go to rest."
Huang Bo urged, "I know where the guest rooms are. I'll go and rest by myself later."
"Okay, then you should get some rest too. We'll head back to the county town tomorrow morning."
After saying this to Huang Bo, Wang Qian returned to his bedroom.
Wang Niangui was already fast asleep, and the room was quiet.
Under the dim lamplight, Lin Xiaoyu's eyes shone softly, her features delicate and fair, as if the warmth of the entire bedroom was bestowed upon her exquisite face.
"Aren't you going to chat a bit more?"
Seeing Wang Qian enter, Lin Xiaoyu lowered her voice and asked.
"There will be plenty of time later, but I've finally come back from out of town, so I definitely need to spend some quality time with you."
Wang Qian grinned mischievously and immediately climbed onto the bed.
However, Lin Xiaoyu remained silent, as if she had nothing to say to Wang Qian.
"What's wrong?"
Sensing that something was off, Wang Qian asked, "Is something on your mind?"
"N-no!"
Lin Xiaoyu shook her head, turned away, and dared not meet Wang Qian's gaze.
She was bad at lying, and she was afraid that Wang Qian would see the insincerity in her eyes.
Wang Qian seemed to have guessed as well, and asked mysteriously, "Do you know why I haven't been home for more than ten days?"
"You must be very busy with work."
Lin Xiaoyu said without turning her head, "I know everything you've done is for this family, so you don't need to explain, I understand."
Although his words were perfectly worded, Wang Qian could still sense the underlying resentment.
"Actually, the reason I haven't been home for a while is because I went to another city!"
"Oh? Which city did you go to?" Lin Xiaoyu asked subconsciously.
At the same time, a sense of anticipation suddenly rose in her heart.
Is Wang Qian finally going to confess to her?
I went to Linjiang City!
Wang Qian said, "I made a bet with the Liu family that I would bring in 50 million yuan in investment for their industrial park project."
"And then?" Lin Xiaoyu pressed.
"I did it!" Wang Qian smiled smugly. "I used some tricks and with the help of a group of friends, I successfully secured an investment of 50 million."
"I see..."
Lin Xiaoyu feigned curiosity and asked, "How exactly did you do it?"
"It's like this..."
Wang Qian didn't hide much from Lin Xiaoyu and immediately recounted the whole story.
Of course, he didn't mention a word about his relationship with Gao Churou and Wu Yanping.
Lin Xiaoyu's brows furrowed more and more tightly.
What she was most concerned about was what Liu Yanran had told her.
She had just thought that Wang Qian would confess to her.
As a result, Wang Qian did not mention anything related to Wu Yanping until he finished recounting the whole process.
In an instant, her heart sank.
Wang Qian ultimately lied to her!
However, when she heard that Wang Qian had encountered thugs at the train station, she disregarded her disappointment and exclaimed, "Are you alright?"
"No!"
Wang Qian shook his head. "Although those three thugs all had knives, I'm not one to be trifled with either, and with someone helping me from the side, we managed to escape unharmed in the end."
At this point, Wang Qian pulled Lin Xiaoyu into his arms and said with a wicked grin, "It's getting late, shouldn't we...?"
"You scoundrel!"
...
the next day.
Wang Qian got up very early.
However, Huang Bo was earlier than him. As soon as he stepped out the door, he saw Huang Bo wandering around the yard alone.
"You're up so early?"
Wang Qian greeted them and strode forward.
"I go to bed early, so I wake up early!"
Huang Bo stretched his arms and said with a look of enjoyment, "The air in the countryside is so fresh in the morning. Maybe when I get married in the future, I'll buy a piece of land next to your house and build a house there."
"That's a great idea, I support it!" Wang Qian nodded in agreement.
But Huang Bo added, "When we see each other every day, we're bound to have all sorts of conflicts over trivial matters, and then we'll argue endlessly every day."
"Isn't this scene heartwarming?"
After saying that, Huang Bo revealed a carefree smile.
Wang Qian's lips twitched.
The thought of such a scene is terrifying.
However, he had to admit that even the best of friends will develop various conflicts after spending a long time together.
Moreover, although he and Huang Bo have a good relationship, if they both have families behind them, they may not necessarily get along well after contacting each other.
"Mediocre life is so disheartening!"
Thinking about this, Wang Qian sighed, "There's a saying that goes, 'He who does not plan for the future will have trouble in the present.' If you don't strive for lofty goals, you will be tormented by the mundane realities of life."
"Stop lamenting about life, why don't you take me to see how your factory is coming along?" Huang Bo urged.
Wang Qian had told him almost everything about Wang Qian when he returned from Linjiang City.
He was indeed quite interested in Wang Qian's various businesses.
"Perfect timing. I haven't been back for so long, I'd like to go and check on the progress."
With that, Wang Qian walked out first.
Before long, they arrived at a construction site.
