"What?"
Hearing Shen Lang's words, Wang Yuyan was stunned for a moment. For so many years, they had been immersed in the ideal of benefiting humanity, focusing entirely on creating hope for mankind, and had never considered this question.
However, Wang Yuyan directly refuted Shen Lang's last statement, saying, "Hope is hope. As long as the initial intention is good, it won't turn into a disaster. As long as it can cure diseases and save people, it's enough."
"Yuyan, you seem to like 'hope' very much?"
Shen Lang understood his wife very well. She was a person who was outwardly gentle but inwardly strong. In front of him, she could appear delicate and submissive, but deep down, she always had her own ideas, which ordinary people couldn't change.
"I just feel that the emergence of hope will bring true 'hope' to humanity. As for other things, let history judge them after a hundred years."
Wang Yuyan looked at Shen Lang gently and asked, "Husband, do you think I'm right?"
"Perhaps you are right."
Shen Lang smiled, not wanting to dwell on such issues with his wife.
At this moment, Yu Xiao came out after showering and changing into clean clothes.
Perhaps Yu Xiao was not as stunningly beautiful as Wang Yuyan, but she was still a top-tier beauty in this world. Even Shen Lang couldn't take his eyes off her.
"It's good that you're alright, Xiaoxiao."
Seeing the radiant Yu Xiao, Wang Yuyan smiled and said, "I was very worried when I heard you were in trouble. I'm glad to see you're safe."
"Thank you for your concern, Sister Yuyan."
Yu Xiao looked at Wang Yuyan, a sincere smile on her face, and said.
"You, don't be so formal all the time. We're family."
Wang Yuyan looked at Yu Xiao, her eyes also smiling, and said, "I have something to attend to and need to go home for a while, so I won't be with you later."
"Go home?"
Hearing Wang Yuyan's words, Shen Lang asked, "Why do you suddenly want to go home?"
"It's because my uncle and his family are back. My grandfather wants to have dinner with them. But you don't like their family, and if I drag you along, you'll be uncomfortable, and I won't be comfortable either. So, you don't need to go. Just stay home and accompany Xiaoxiao."
Wang Yuyan looked at Yu Xiao and reminded Shen Lang, "Xiaoxiao was quite frightened this time. Accompany her well and don't let it leave a shadow."
"Okay, call me later, and I'll pick you up."
Shen Lang indeed didn't like Jin Yulan's family. He would avoid them if he could. He gave Wang Yuyan a grateful look and said.
"Got it, I'm leaving."
Hearing Shen Lang's words, Wang Yuyan picked a green grape from the fruit platter and gave it to Shen Lang, then walked out the door.
After Wang Yuyan left, Shen Lang stood up, walked step by step to Yu Xiao, and gently held her in his arms, saying, "Xiaoxiao, I'm sorry to have frightened you today."
"Brother Shen, you haven't wronged me. On the contrary, I should thank you. You've saved me more than once. Because of you, my life has warmth and color."
Yu Xiao rested her head on Shen Lang's chest and said, "Brother Shen, meeting you is the luckiest thing in my life. As long as you don't abandon me, I will stay by your side forever, even without status, I will be content."
"Silly girl, that would be too unfair to you."
Feeling Yu Xiao's pure love, Shen Lang was immensely touched. He held Yu Xiao tightly and said, "You love me so much, how could I possibly let you down? Don't worry, except for the status I can't give you, I can give you everything else."
"No—"
Hearing Shen Lang's words, Yu Xiao said, "I don't need status, and I don't need anything else. As long as you are here, it's enough."
"Thank you."
Shen Lang looked at Yu Xiao in his arms with a gentle expression.
"Xiaoxiao, we'll do nothing this week but spend time with you. Whatever you want to do, wherever you want to go, I'll accompany you."
Shen Lang asked Yu Xiao, "Xiaoxiao, is there anywhere you want to go or anything you particularly want to do?"
"I..."
Hearing Shen Lang's words, Yu Xiao hesitated to speak.
"Xiaoxiao, don't hesitate. Just say what you want to say."
Seeing Yu Xiao's appearance, Shen Lang knew she had concerns and gave her a reassuring smile.
"I want to set up a stall and sell Jianbing."
Yu Xiao thought for a moment, then expressed her inner thoughts. "Xiao Fei and I had a very hard life before. My father only gambled and didn't care about our survival. The reason Xiao Fei and I are alive today is all thanks to me selling Jianbing at a stall."
"But since I met Brother Shen, I haven't set up a stall to sell Jianbing. I miss those times. Will you accompany me, okay?"
Yu Xiao looked at Shen Lang, her eyes filled with strong anticipation.
"Okay, since you like it, I'll accompany you."
Shen Lang hadn't expected Yu Xiao to have such an idea. While surprised, he readily agreed.
They acted immediately. In the afternoon, Shen Lang accompanied Yu Xiao to the market to buy a three-wheeled cart for selling Jianbing, and they prepared all the ingredients and tools.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Shen Lang and Yu Xiao appeared at the entrance of Nanling High-Speed Railway Station. Shen Lang was responsible for shouting out to attract customers, and Yu Xiao was responsible for making Jianbing. The business was surprisingly good.
In one hour, Shen Lang and Yu Xiao sold over a hundred Jianbing.
Each Jianbing cost two yuan to make, and Yu Xiao sold them for ten yuan, making a profit of eight yuan. Over a hundred Jianbing meant a profit of seven to eight hundred yuan. Yu Xiao was beaming with delight and couldn't stop counting.
"Xiaoxiao, you already have millions in savings and a villa worth hundreds of millions, why are you so happy about a few hundred yuan?"
Shen Lang was a little confused by Yu Xiao's genuine joy and asked.
"Because you're accompanying me to set up a stall and sell Jianbing."
Yu Xiao looked at Shen Lang and said playfully, "I like this kind of simple life, and I like the moments spent with you."
"Silly girl, if you like it, I'll do nothing else and accompany you selling Jianbing every day."
Shen Lang said, looking at Yu Xiao.
"No, that won't do."
Hearing this, Yu Xiao quickly said to Shen Lang, "Brother Shen, you are a dragon among men. Your life should be brilliant and glorious. I wouldn't dare let you accompany me selling Jianbing every day."
"You know me. I never cared about worldly glory. I just want to live the most ordinary life with you."
Shen Lang gently stroked Yu Xiao's head and smiled. "It's still early, I think we can sell more today."
"Okay, then you start shouting out."
Hearing Shen Lang's words, Yu Xiao said, "I also want to know how much we can earn on our first day selling Jianbing."
That afternoon, Shen Lang and Yu Xiao set up their stall for six hours and sold over three hundred Jianbing. Yu Xiao's smile never faded.
Looking at Yu Xiao's pure and heartfelt smile, Shen Lang couldn't help but smile. He didn't know that a deadly trap was already brewing against him.
