Mo Kai Liang prepared three dishes and a soup, while Lan Qingqing sat by the dining table in her sheer nightgown.
As she inhaled the familiar aroma of the food, she felt a sense of attachment to Mo Kai Liang. Watching him eat heartily, she reflected on how he had always been quiet. In the past, she found his reserved nature unappealing, but now, perhaps due to their intimate exchange earlier or the allure of the two large bags of cash at the door, she felt an undeniable charm about him. Even in silence, he exuded depth and strength.
Gently, Lan Qingqing spoke up, "After we finish eating, I'll take care of the cut on your forehead."
Mo Kai Liang replied, "I'm fine. I can handle it myself later. You must have had a tough time while I was away."
She shook her head. "I haven't had it tough at all. But what do you plan to do with that money at the door? Are you thinking of starting a business? Have you decided what to do?"
Mo Kai Liang had already thought it through. "I plan to use ten thousand to start a company. The rest of the money can stay with you; I’ll ask for it when I need it."
Lan Qingqing probed further, "You’re only using ten thousand out of thirty thousand? What about the remaining twenty thousand? Are you saving it for yourself? What kind of company are you planning to start?"
He explained, "The remaining money will be my dowry for marrying you. Everything I earn will be for you." After a moment's thought, he added, "I’m thinking of starting a lending company."
He fell silent after that; he didn’t want Lan Qingqing to know too much about his plans. During the past week, both his body and spirit had endured significant trauma. He never imagined he would end up like this—money in hand but having lost his integrity. The noble persona he once held was something he had discarded in pursuit of wealth and stability in a big city, all for the sake of marrying someone beautiful. He had to work hard to earn money, regardless of whether it came from dubious sources; he couldn’t afford to think about future repercussions. He felt like a gambler who had placed his bets—once made, there was no turning back.
Lan Qingqing felt delighted hearing that Mo Kai Liang intended to give her all his money. Such a devoted man was someone she needed to hold onto tightly!
She took the initiative and said, "From now on, we are one entity. While we can't publicly acknowledge our relationship as a couple, within our home, we are family."
Mo Kai Liang looked up, slightly excited. "You want to be with me? You’re not going to marry into a wealthy family anymore?"
Lan Qingqing clarified, "That's not it! If I could marry into wealth, I would still want to! After all, for ordinary people like us without power or background, moving up the social ladder is difficult. Besides, if I marry a genuine rich second generation, it would benefit you too."
She continued to persuade him, "You don’t believe in soulmates or anything like that, do you? Those are just tales for children! Our goal should be to make as much money as possible and live extraordinary lives together. Do you understand?"
Holding Mo Kai Liang's hand tightly, she said with concern, "Look at you! You’ve come so far from that remote little village; it hasn’t been easy! Don’t you want to show your hometown how successful you can be? Of course you do! In this society, rules are made for ordinary people—monogamy and law-abiding behavior—while those wealthy individuals out there often have multiple partners and privileges."
Lan Qingqing tried to entice him further. "Once we have money in the future, I can allow you to date other women like Sister Youyou; you can experience what it's like with those little ladies. How does that sound?"
Mo Kai Liang frowned and shook his head. "I’m not interested in other women; I only love you."
She persisted, "Okay, okay! I know you love me. But given our current situation, there are many things beyond our control. You need to understand that my heart is with you right now; however, due to various practical factors, I can't fully belong to just you at this moment. Can you understand me?"
Mo Kai Liang understood her feelings; he knew what Lan Qingqing wanted. The reason she spoke this way was simply because he wasn’t wealthy or influential enough yet. But he believed that one day he would possess those things! At that time, Lan Qingqing would no longer look at other wealthy men.
He remained silent but nodded in agreement.
Lan Qingqing felt a weight lift off her shoulders. With Mo Kai Liang's understanding, she could continue to seduce Hou Yi or Winston. She also needed to take care of the child in her belly; after all, a child was worth thirty thousand. Who wouldn't want that?
Her mood was exceptionally good, and she couldn't help but wonder what kind of luck she had stumbled upon recently, with one windfall after another rolling in! She felt certain that it had been Ke Wenjie who had suppressed her fortune all along; that unfortunate star was simply her nemesis! If she had known this would happen, she would have kicked that idiot Ke Wenjie to the curb much sooner!
At that moment, Mo Kai Liang's phone rang. It was none other than Ke Wenjie. He let the phone ring for a while before taking a deep breath and answering. On the other end, Ke Wenjie's voice was laced with anger. "You're still alive? I thought you were dead! Your mother even called me! Where have you been? My mom has been suffering in the hospital for a week because of you! Mo Kai Liang, is this how you plan to make something of yourself in the city? If you don't want to work hard, just go back to the countryside!"
Mo Kai Liang remained calm and steady as he replied, "Brother, I don't plan on following you anymore. I'm not going back to the hospital either. Can you please let my Aunt know? As for my mom, I'll call her this afternoon to let her know I'm safe."
