When Mo Beichen walked to the backyard, he saw Yun Qingluo with her back to him, directing the servants to prepare something.
The candlelight from the lantern fell on her, seemingly ethereal and intangible; Mo Beichen disliked this elusive feeling.
He lifted his foot and walked towards Yun Qingluo. Yun Qingluo heard the footsteps and turned around.
"Ah Chen, you're back?" Yun Qingluo saw that it was Mo Beichen and jumped into his arms, smelling his familiar cool fragrance.
A tender look flashed in Mo Beichen's eyes as he whispered, "Hmm, what are you doing?"
Yun Qinglu smiled and took Mo Beichen's hand as they entered the house. Mo Beichen saw a table full of dishes, but each dish was served in very small portions.
Yun Qingluo asked Mo Beichen to sit at the table. "Preparing too much would be a waste, but it would be a pity if we couldn't enjoy all this delicious food. So I set some aside to share with the people in the manor. The manor is their home, and they should have a good time."
"You can make these decisions yourself," Mo Beichen said, gesturing for her to sit down.
Yun Qingluo poured Mo Beichen a glass of red wine; the glass was a crystal cup she had specially found in the Wangfu storeroom.
"Ah Chen, have a taste. I had someone find this for me, and it's the only bottle." In modern times, she enjoyed drinking and secretly kept a bottle of fine wine in a small cubicle in the medical system.
She was truly delighted to have the opportunity to share a drink with her loved one.
Let Ah Chen taste the flavors of her hometown.
"This color is quite novel." Mo Beichen looked at the wine in the glass with a hint of curiosity in his voice, then elegantly took a sip, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.
Seeing his bright eyes, Yun Qingluo knew he liked this drink. She had spent hundreds of thousands of yuan to buy it for him at a manor abroad, and she had never been willing to taste it herself.
"It's delicious, isn't it? I knew you'd like it." Yun Qingluo said with a hint of pride when she saw him take a few more sips.
Seeing Yun Qingluo's proud and aloof demeanor, Mo Beichen's eyes flashed with amusement. "How can Luoluo be so sure I'll like her?"
Yun Qinglu poured Mo Beichen another glass and said proudly, "Because I really like it."
She likes things, and even if he doesn't like them, he will try to like them.
Because she was blind to love Mo Beili in her previous life, Mo Beichen never hurt her in the slightest, no matter how much he hated her, because he was afraid she would be sad.
Upon hearing this, Mo Beichen smiled faintly, "Luo Luo understands me quite well."
Actually, it doesn't have to be that complicated. If she's willing, he'll drink it with a smile, even if it's poison.
Yun Qingluo didn't understand the meaning behind Mo Beichen's words. She picked up a piece of fish for her and said, "Try this fish. It will taste even better with the lingering taste of wine in your mouth."
Mo Beichen looked at the thin slices of fish, picked one up and swallowed it. There was no fishy smell as he had imagined, only the freshness and tenderness of the fish. It was unexpectedly delicious, and he couldn't help but reach out and pick up another slice.
Seeing the contrast between Mo Beichen's behavior before and after, Yun Qingluo secretly chuckled to herself, thinking how adorable he was.
“I’ll also have a bite of fish, which symbolizes abundance year after year. How about we eat fish every year from now on?” Yun Qingluo said to Mo Beichen after finishing the fish in her mouth.
Mo Beichen lowered his eyes, a hint of sadness flashing in them. Would she really still be by his side next year?
"Ah Chen, cheers! I'm so happy to spend the last day of the year with you. I hope I can see you the moment I open my eyes on the first day of next year." Yun Qingluo raised her glass, gesturing for Mo Beichen to drink with her.
Mo Beichen nodded, "Yes, Luo Luo can see me anytime she wants."
Yun Qingluo chuckled and placed a piece of food on Mo Beichen's plate. "Eat more. Although this wine isn't strong, it still has a pretty strong aftereffect. Eat more food to counteract it."
Mo Beichen also put food on Yun Qingluo's plate, saying, "Luoluo, eat more, you're too thin."
Yun Qinglu pouted, "Hmph, this is the weight I paid to lose, you're not allowed to gain it back."
Mo Beichen raised an eyebrow, puzzled. "You paid to reduce it?"
Yun Qingluo nodded, looking aggrieved, and said, "Yes, yes, I spent so much money buying medicinal herbs to prepare the Chinese medicine for weight loss." Yun Qingluo opened her arms and made a big circle.
Mo Beichen's smile deepened, and his voice also became tinged with amusement, "Little money-grubber."
After speaking, he took out a pure white jade pendant from his bosom, with the character "Chen" engraved on it, and handed it to Yun Qinghou, saying slowly, "I wanted to give it to you before, but I was afraid you wouldn't accept it. Now it's just right. With this jade pendant, you can withdraw money from Huailuo Banks all over the country at will, without any limit."
Upon hearing this, Yun Qingluo exclaimed in surprise.
My eyes immediately lit up with stars. Wow, is this the legendary domineering CEO's secondary card?
"Is Huailuo Bank a property of the Prince's Mansion?" Yun Qingluo looked at Mo Beichen with bright eyes.
In her previous life, when she helped Mo Beili gather intelligence, she had never heard that Huailuo Bank belonged to the Regent.
Looking at Yun Qingluo's greedy appearance, Mo Beichen said indulgently, "It's not on the surface. I just sent someone to manage it. Outsiders don't know, and I rarely go there myself. It's just a small business, not worth mentioning."
Yun Qingluo's eyes widened. Huailuo Money Shop had four branches in the capital alone, and thousands of branches of all sizes across the country. Even the small village where she grew up had a shop there.
Most importantly, they have hundreds of branches in the other three countries.
Money shops have even opened in enemy territory; can this still be called a small industry?
Waaaaah, this man is so handsome, this man is hers, her man is so amazing.
Her man is hers, and if her man is powerful, it means she's powerful too. Hehe, that's great.
"Ah Chen, you're so amazing! But why did you think of opening a money exchange in such a remote rural area?" Yun Qingluo looked at her husband with admiration in her eyes.
Upon hearing this, Mo Beichen gave Yun Qingluo a deep look, then looked away and played with a strand of Yun Qingluo's hair.
After a long pause, she slowly said, "When I was a child, I met a woman who said that it would be great if there were places in the countryside to deposit and withdraw money, so that she wouldn't have to carry so much silver with her every day."
Yun Qingluo was taken aback. These words seemed to be something she had casually complained about when she saved him as a child.
Because she had just transmigrated and was used to mobile payments, she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to take out so much silver and banknotes when she needed to use them.
I always feel like I'm wearing sandbags when I walk, it's so uncomfortable, that's why I casually complained to him. I didn't expect him to remember it and actually do it.
Huailuo Money Shop, that means...
Yun Qingluo got up and walked to Mo Beichen, cupping his face in her hands as if holding a rare treasure, and said earnestly, "Achen, how can you be so good to me?"
As Mo Beichen watched Yun Qingluo's face slowly approach, his Adam's apple bobbed slightly. Suddenly, the words Yun Qingluo had spoken at Tianxiang Tower flashed through his mind.
The joy in his heart faded, and his eyes regained their clarity. He reached out and pulled Yun Qingluo onto his lap, hugging her waist and asking in a deep voice, "What do you think is good about me, Luoluo?"
Do you think he's easy to fool?
Yun Qingluo was suddenly pulled into Mo Beichen's arms. Slightly startled, she quickly reached out and wrapped her arms around Mo Beichen's neck.
Why does he like to lift me onto his lap so much? It was one thing when he had this habit before, when he was disabled and in a wheelchair.
