"No," Mo Siyu hugged her and gave her a kiss, saying, "Xiao Yue, I'm just afraid you've hidden away the pretty photos and won't show them to me."
"I really wish I could turn you into a photo, so I could hold it and kiss it whenever I miss you." Mo Siyu held her, and even doing nothing, just kissing and hugging , brought an unprecedented tranquility to his heart.
The recent missions had been very dangerous, and every time, he had relied on his tenacious will and years of hard training to survive. He lowered his gaze and looked at Tang Yue's sweet smile, and suddenly, his heart which had been full of anticipation was now filled with anxiety.
What if, what if one day, he was no longer there...
"Xiao Yue, I'm sorry." Mo Siyu said something seemingly out of the blue.
Tang Yue looked up at him in confusion and asked, "What did you do?"
"It was me who insisted on pulling you into my world, where my job is dangerous and tough." There was a hint of guilt in Mo Siyu's eyes, but the determination to be with her was very strong. He enjoyed what he was doing now, using his abilities to rescue those who deserved and needed to be saved.
Most of the work at Anchong Security Company involved helping or protecting people who needed it.
"I'm not afraid." Tang Yue leaned against his chest and responded, "I know marrying you would be hard. My uncle already told me that. But how could you know that marrying someone else wouldn't be hard? Everyone has their own challenges. As for me, I'll be the woman supporting you from behind, so you can rest assured."
Tang Yue took out a bankbook that she had prepared earlier and handed it to him.
Mo Siyu glanced at it and noticed that, besides the money he had given to Tang Yue, there was an additional fifty thousand.
"It's not a lot of money, but it should help in a pinch. For anything else we can't cover, we'll figure it out." Tang Yue was practically supporting Mo Siyu's endeavors.
As Mo Siyu looked at the bankbook, he was both touched and dismayed. Did Xiao Yue underestimate him?
"Xiao Yue, don't worry. Since I've decided to start a business, I naturally have the initial capital to do so." Just as Mo Siyu finished speaking, Tang Yue raised an eyebrow and asked, "You've been hiding private funds?"
Was it too late to correct that now?
"Xiao Yue, it's just that recently, Anchong, the security company, gave me a bonus, and I've settled the finances for the last few missions. So, I do have some money on hand." Mo Siyu chose his words wisely, not revealing how much. He tucked the bankbook back into her hand, saying, "Xiao Yue, something I've given away, I won't take back. Hold onto this, and don't worry, your husband has money."
Tang Yue was sizing him up, seemingly to discern the truth within his words.
Mo Siyu cleverly changed the subject: "Xiao Yue, what should we call my moving company?"
"Si Yu, you could start a transport company. That way, you can broaden the scope of jobs you take on in the future." Tang Yue suggested, but the thought of picking a name was driving her crazy. She had no talent for that.
Previously, she named Mingyue Clothing out of sheer laziness.
And for Xingyao Clothing, she just adopted the name that Sister An Yu had previously chosen.
After Tang Yue suggested a few names, Mo Siyu decided that he would be the one to name their future children.
"How about Pinganda? What do you think?" Mo Siyu proposed the name, which signifies safe and secure arrival.
Tang Yue murmured the name, finding it more and more appealing and easy to pronounce.
"Not bad, I think it's good," Tang Yue looked at Mo Siyu with approval.
Mo Siyu quickly kissed her cheek, then said, "I also need to find a storefront and buy a van. There might not be as many things for you to help with soon."
"Go ahead with your work. If there's anything I can help with, just let me know." Tang Yue really wanted to assist Mo Siyu.
"Okay." Mo Siyu gazed at her intensely.
Tang Yue stuffed the bankbook back into his hands, imperiously saying, "You are not allowed to refuse. Consider it like using bait to catch bigger fish. When you make money later, you can give it to me, alright?"
"I don't lack this bit of money now, so, Si Yu, take it. If you refuse, I won't talk to you anymore." Tang Yue was domineering, leaving no room for Mo Siyu to decline.
Mo Siyu held the bankbook, feeling the weight of her heartfelt gesture.
"Fine, I will accept it. In the future, everything I have will be yours," Mo Siyu earnestly said.
Tang Yue giggled and replied, "No, in the future, everything you have goes to our children."
"No, it's for you," Mo Siyu insisted with pursed lips. "The kids can earn their own."
"Xiao Yue, it's been a long time since you've visited." Jiang Lan was excited to see Tang Yue and handed her a local specialty from her hometown. "This is a specialty from my hometown, try it."
"Thank you, Sister-in-law." Tang Yue accepted the gift, then turned around to get some fruit from inside the house, saying, "This is for your kids to eat since Si Yu can't finish them all by himself."
Jiang Lan looked at the fruits, which were quite expensive ones like grapes and longans that she herself wouldn't splurge on.
Feeling a little embarrassed, Tang Yue pushed the fruits into her arms and said, "Sister-in-law, it would be such a waste if you don't eat them and let them go bad. I've been busy with school recently and haven't had the time to come over."
"Then, thank you," Jiang Lan accepted the fruits, her face expressing envy. "Xiao Yue, you are still a university student. I heard that Jinghua University is one of the top universities in Huaxia. You are truly amazing."
"If you ever want to learn something, you can too," Tang Yue suggested.
The spouses of those who work in the fleet mostly had nothing to do, and if they could earn some money as well, it would be good. After all, not everyone was like Mo Siyu, who, aside from this, had another side job.
"What can I learn?" Jiang Lan said somewhat shyly.
Tang Yue thought for a moment and responded, "Learn what you like, what you want to learn, what's useful to you."
"But how will I know if it's useful?" Jiang Lan asked again.
"Sister-in-law, if you can make money from what you learn, do you think it's useful?" Tang Yue countered with a question.
Without a second thought, Jiang Lan replied, "Of course it's useful."
"But what can I learn that'll make money?" Jiang Lan sighed. "Each month, half of our earnings are sent back home. It's not enough for a family of three." Find the newest release on NoveI★Fire.net
"That's…" Tang Yue paused, realizing the factory wasn't set up that quickly and it was quite far from the fleet, which wouldn't be convenient either. But what could Jiang Lan do?
"Ah, I wish I could read as many books as you have," Jiang Lan said enviously.
Tang Yue just smiled and didn't reply but thought to herself, how could she help Jiang Lan and the others make money?
