"Xiao Yue." When Bai Qing came to the apartment again, she hugged Tang Yue and plained, "An Chong has totally lost his mind. Now that I’m just pregnant, in front of him, it’s as if I’m handicapped!"
"He’s just worried about you." Tang Yue smiled and appraised Bai Qing, who, perhaps due to the pregnancy, had gained some weight despite always being slim; Bai Qing’s spirits also seemed very high.
Apart from the severe morning sickness.
Because of this, An Chong was troubled a lot, bringing in several cooks at home, just so Bai Qing could eat more.
However, unexpectedly, even though Bai Qing had morning sickness, she craved and enjoyed spicy food after throwing up.
"Let’s not talk about this now. Tell me, isn’t the world so small?" Bai Qing suddenly said.
Tang Yue looked at Bai Qing, puzzled.
Bai Qing said, "That Shen Yunfei, you will never guess who he is."
"Could it possibly be someone from the Lian Family?" Tang Yue instinctively thought of this.
In Sea City, she didn’t know anyone else apart from the Lian Family, except for Leng Hua and Mo Xiaoyu.
Given Shen Yunfei’s demeanor, he likely wasn’t associated with Mo Xiaoyu’s side.
"No," Bai Qing shook her head and said, "Guess again."
"If not the Lian Family, could it be the Xiang Family?" Tang Yue immediately thought of the Xiang Family.
"That’s right, Shen Yunfei’s father and the Xiang Family are cousins, albeit distant ones, but they have close connections. However, for many years the Shen Family had settled in Country Y, and I never expected that Shen Jing’s only son would end up in Country F."
After getting this news from An Chong, Bai Qing couldn’t sit still. People from the Xiang Family, they had a feud with Tang Yue!
"Lian Qingyang’s cousin?" Tang Yue tried hard to recall the relationship between this cousin and Lian Qingyang. It seemed Lian Qingyang had mentioned him offhandedly, but she hadn’t asked in detail.
"Yes, also in Country Y, I guess he’s quite close with Lian Qingqing."
Bai Qing reminded her, "I haven’t met Lian Qingqing, but from her photos, she’s definitely not the obedient girl type, and certainly not the innocent boy like Lian Qingyang."
How Lian Qingyang treated Tang Yue, Bai Qing saw it all. Lian Qingyang was the candid type, pure of heart.
But Lian Qingqing was different; she seemed to be the kind that has one persona to your face and another behind your back. Anyway, Bai Qing didn’t like her smile; it looked too insincere.
"It might just be a coincidence," Tang Yue earnestly suggested.
With a look of frustration, Bai Qing said to Tang Yue, "Xiao Yue, this coincidence is a little too coincidental, don’t you think?"
"People came here half a year before us." Tang Yue looked at her innocently and blankly.
"Who knows, maybe Lian Qingqing knows you’re here and has intentionally informed Shen Yunfei? No matter what, just keep your distance from him," Bai Qing said seriously. She wished she could move in and live with Tang Yue. Tang Yue reassured her, "Sister Qing, you’re pregnant now, and you shouldn’t be so anxious. Rest assured, I’m safe. Under the daylight, and with Wu Xin protecting me, nothing will happen."
Bai Qing was about to speak, but Tang Yue quickly interrupted, "I’ll listen to you and keep my distance. If he tries to be nice to me, I’ll pretend I don’t see it, okay?"
"Mm, I’ll ask Lian Qingyang about it later," Tang Yue repeatedly soothed Bai Qing.
Bai Qing repeatedly instructed Wu Xin to stay close and protect Tang Yue well before she finally left reluctantly.
Taking advantage of the time difference, it was morning for Tang Yue, and evening for Lian Qingyang. Lian Qingyang usually went to bed late, so Tang Yue confidently made a call.
"Sister Xiao Yue, you finally deigned to call me," Lian Qingyang plained.
He always had trouble guessing the time on Tang Yue’s side; either she was not at home or she was busy. Often when he called, Tang Yue couldn’t pick up, so he could only wait for her to call back.
Tang Yue: "Qingyang, I spoke to you on the phone last Friday." Today is Monday.
"Sister Xiao Yue, I’m just so happy you called today."
Lian Qingyang was laughing heartily; even through the phone, you could feel his happiness.
"Qingyang, I heard that the game you’re developing is doing well, and now you’ve even started negotiating with various puter manufacturers?" Tang Yue asked with a smile.
Once that subject was brought up, Lian Qingyang’s mood soured instantly. He pursed his lips and said, "Sister Xiao Yue, you have no idea, those puter factory bosses are so full of themselves, acting as if I should be begging them. It’s just infuriating."
"Qingyang, have you ever thought about selling puters yourself?" Tang Yue asked.
Nowadays, puters haven’t hit their boom yet. It’s just that some wealthy people are at the forefront of using puters. There are still very few people who know how to use them. But in a few years, or even in the future, it’s not about everyone having their own puter, but at least nearly eighty percent of households will have one. Some families have not just desktop puters, but also laptops. Multiple puters in a single household.
So, selling puters, in the long run, would be profitable.
"Sell them myself?" Lian Qingyang’s heart leapt at the idea, and he wished he could kiss the phone out of excitement. He said happily, "Sister Xiao Yue, you really are my lucky star. I was just thinking maybe it’s time to pick a fight with one of those puter bosses. I haven’t taken a penny from him, but he won’t install my game."
"In the future, who knows, they might be asking you to install it instead," Tang Yue forted him.
Talking about this topic excited Lian Qingyang a lot. He had only thought about partnering with puter manufacturers and never considered selling puters himself. Now it made him wonder: why couldn’t he sell them by himself?
With this change in topic, Lian Qingyang’s thoughts became crystal clear. The same puter, his puter would e with games installed. If it were him, he would definitely buy his own puter too!
"Sister Xiao Yue, I feel like you have more of a business acumen than my uncle," Lian Qingyang said joyfully.
Uncle?
Tang Yue followed up by asking, "Qingyang, is your uncle from Sea City? How e I’ve never seen him?"
"He’s from Sea City, but he went to Y country a long time ago and has been living there. He’s very good at business, doing all kinds of business ventures in Y country," Lian Qingyang had quite a bit to say about his uncle.
Lian Qingyang continued, "However, speaking of which, my cousin Shen Yunfei seems to be in F country. I heard my mom mention it in passing. I’ll look into it and see where he is."
"He is my current neighbor," Tang Yue added right after.
Lian Qingyang was so shocked he couldn’t utter a word, and a shriek came through the phone. He asked, "Sister Xiao Yue, you’ve met him? That can’t be right; did he bother you?"
Shen Yunfei’s character, Lian Qingyang knew all too well.
"No," Tang Yue couldn’t resist covering her ear as she said, "Is he... a difficult person?"
"He’s a playboy. Grew up in Y country and changes girlfriends as fast as changing clothes," Lian Qingyang couldn’t help but rant. "Once, he had one girlfriend in the morning, and by evening, he’d switched to another. Fast, isn’t it?"
"Fast," Tang Yue agreed, picturing Shen Yunfei’s scoundrel-like grin, which really did seem to slip easily from one romance to the next.
"Sister Xiao Yue, are you sure he hasn’t bothered you? He hasn’t done anything to you..." Lian Qingyang’s words were cut off mid-sentence as Tang Yue interrupted, "Qingyang, you’re overthinking it. I’m not RMB; I can’t be beloved by everyone. And it just so happens to be quite the coincidence; he’s my neighbor. However, we don’t have much interaction."
"That’s good then."
Hearing this, Lian Qingyang breathed a sigh of relief and instructed, "Sister Xiao Yue, don’t worry. I’ll definitely talk to my cousin and tell him to take good care of you. If he dares to lay a finger on you, I’ll hold him accountable."
After saying this, Lian Qingyang hung up the phone.
Tang Yue was baffled.
How did the conversation turn out like this?
She was just asking for some information.
After Lian Qingyang hung up the phone, he started to look for someone to contact Shen Yunfei.
When Shen Yunfei received Lian Qingyang’s call, he was extremely surprised, "Lian Qingyang, you’re actually calling me?"
Usually, whenever Shen Yunfei and Lian Qingyang met, they would end up fighting, or at least trading verbal jabs. Where was this sudden desire to make contact ing from?
"Shen Yunfei, let me tell you, Sister Xiao Yue is my real sister, and you’d better not have any designs on her," Lian Qingyang said firmly. Curious, Shen Yunfei asked, "Who is Sister Xiao Yue?"
