Gu Jiaojiao nodded.
She kept her gaze on Chen JianShe.
Chen JianShe: ’I really can’t co up with anything else.’
He also nodded. "That’s all."
He had said his piece, laying all his cards on the table. He really had no other opinions.
However, his mind started buzzing with ideas.
While soap wasn’t a necessity, any relatively well-off family with a daughter would almost certainly buy so for her.
Girls love looking their best, and they would surely love anything that could make them more beautiful.
He had never considered these things before. But now that Gu Jiaojiao had pointed it out, he felt the idea was very viable.
Leng Yuan roughly understood what Gu Jiaojiao wanted to do. He gave Chen JianShe a critical look.
’For sothing like this, his little woman is asking Chen JianShe instead of him? Does she think Chen JianShe has more foresight than I do?’
Gu Jiaojiao, of course, had no idea what the man beside her was thinking. She was, however, now certain of the plan’s feasibility.
During her recent trips up the mountain, she had found many dicinal herbs suitable for soap-making and had already processed them all. If there was a market for it, she could start production imdiately.
Gu Jiaojiao didn’t hide her business ambitions from the two n. She spoke up directly, "JianShe, if I make facial soap, could we partner up?"
Chen JianShe was surprised for a mont and subconsciously glanced at his Brother Leng.
The murderous look in Brother Leng’s eyes was impossible to conceal.
Chen JianShe was a little scared.
He shot to his feet. "Sister-in-law, I’ve got sothing to take care of at ho. I have to go."
With that, he bolted.
Gu Jiaojiao: ...
’I wasn’t even finished talking!’
Only when he reached the gate did Chen JianShe stop, patting his chest with lingering fear. ’That nearly scared to death. Brother Leng is terrifying.’
After patting his chest, he slapped his forehead.
’I actually ca over to talk about Feng Ergou, but I got so caught up in eating that I completely forgot the real reason I was here.’
’No, I have to tell Brother Leng about Feng Ergou.’
He turned, but before he could take a step, he rembered Brother Leng’s murderous gaze and decided against it.
’I can just tell him another day.’
After Chen JianShe left, the courtyard beca quiet again. The man looked at the young woman’s deflated expression and found it a little funny.
"Want to start a business?"
Gu Jiaojiao nodded. "To supplent the family inco."
"I can provide for you!"
The man’s voice was firm, leaving no room for doubt.
Of course, Gu Jiaojiao believed him. "I know you can provide for . You could provide for several of without a problem. But I can’t just be idle all day. I can’t do farm work, so if I can’t earn any money either, I’ll feel useless."
"Mr. Leng, I want us to be partners, fighting side-by-side. I want a relationship of mutual effort, not one where you toil away to earn money for to spend."
"Everyone is their own person. You have to live your own life first before you can truly love soone else. That’s the only kind of love that will last. Don’t you want to be with for a long, long ti?"
’Of course I do. It’s all I dream about.’
A warmth spread through Leng Yuan’s chest.
When his little woman wanted to sweet-talk soone, her words were sweeter than honey. Not only did he find them incredibly pleasing to hear, but they also made it impossible for him to refuse her.
"If you want to do it, then go ahead. As for the facial soap, I’ll talk to JianShe and have him help you sell it."
Gu Jiaojiao’s eyes instantly lit up, her gaze fixed on Leng Yuan, sparkling with delight.
She let out a cheer and launched herself from the stool straight into Leng Yuan’s arms. Fortunately, he was steady enough to catch her, or they both would have ended up on the ground.
Gu Jiaojiao’s eyes were bright and lively, as if they held an entire galaxy. "Mr. Leng, you’re the best."
Leng Yuan steadied her, pulling her close. His eyes darkened. "Jiaojiao, it’s getting late. Let’s get so rest."
Gu Jiaojiao: ...
"No, it’s still early! The dishes aren’t done, I’ll go wash them."
Leng Yuan paid her no mind. Still holding her, he stood up, walked over to the main gate to bolt the lock, and then turned toward the bedroom.
Gu Jiaojiao: ...
She made a last-ditch effort to struggle.
"Leng Yuan, doing this too often isn’t good for you! Biologically speaking—MMPH!"
"Leng Yuan, you brute."
The girl’s indignant cries from inside the room soon dissolved into other, more indescribable sounds.
