Shen Liannuo couldn't help but shed tears after that phone call, desperately missing home.
"Just in time, Song Jun and Daisy Tini are with you," Qing Muye said, pointing to Song Jun. "Song Jun will be fully in charge of the business from the Hidden Clan from now on. He will likely be stationed there permanently."
"Alright," Shen Liannuo slapped Song Jun on the left shoulder. "Don't worry, Xiao Junzi. With me around, I'll make sure my brother looks out for you."
Lu Yanming's gaze dimmed slightly as he listened to Shen Liannuo. He took a sip of his wine, remaining silent.
...
Two years later.
Meng Jingwei managed Song Yu Group, her days consumed by work. Qing Muye, on the other hand, had stepped back into a supportive role, becoming Meng Jingwei's personal assistant. He spent his time accompanying his wife and children or traveling to Country C or the Hidden Clan.
Stepping back from the front lines of management was simply his way of freeing up time to be with his wife.
Due to Qing Muye's collaboration with Joyner Nibel William, a well-known fact in the business world, Qing Muye's influence expanded, and his financial power multiplied. Within a year and a half, his wealth surpassed Tang Nian's, making him the richest man in the country.
Qiao Ziqian confessed to Tang Wanxing again after she had recovered from her injury. Devastated by both emotional and physical trauma, Tang Wanxing chose to go abroad. Qiao Ziqian, unable to win her heart, tiredly let go, returned to the capital, diligently inherited his family business, and established a close working relationship with Qing Muye's company.
However, Qing Muye still harbored resentment towards Qing Kangyu.
Shen Liannuo, after co-starring with Meng Jingwei in "The Orphaned Daughter of the General," became an overnight sensation.
But Meng Jingwei, managing the company, had to abandon her dream of acting to focus entirely on her business. Shen Liannuo, however, entered the film industry and began making movies.
Because of her extraordinary beauty, she couldn't escape the directors' intentions for unspoken rules. The consequences were as expected…
The directors or investors either ended up in the hospital after being severely beaten or were sternly warned by a crowd.
From then on, Shen Liannuo thrived in the entertainment industry, becoming an actress whom no one dared to harbor impure thoughts about.
Meanwhile.
Tang Si and Shi Ran went to the Hidden Clan, where they successfully welcomed triplets: two sons and a daughter. Tang Si was so overjoyed that he couldn't stop boasting to everyone he met, often earning him beatings from his brothers.
Introduced by Shen Liannuo, the couple found the old divine doctor of the Hidden Clan. In just over half a year, their facial scars were removed, and their appearances were restored to their former glory.
Shi Ran regained her confidence, becoming more cheerful and talkative.
Due to Tang Si's elder brother's departure and Tang Si's own "disappearance" with Shi Ran, Tang Borren couldn't handle the strain and fell ill within six months.
Tang Si received news from Song Jun and returned to Lancheng with Shi Ran and their children.
Upon seeing Tang Si again, the Tang family couple understood his resolve. Even if they disliked Shi Ran, seeing the scars on her face disappear, they were forced to accept her.
...
Yujing Villa.
In the early morning, a ray of sunlight filtered through the gossamer-thin white curtains, illuminating Meng Jingwei's face and waking her from her deep sleep.
She blinked her eyes and murmured, "What time is it?"
The woman, still lazy, hugged Qing Muye, her eyes closed languidly. "Can you not be so wild next time? It’s exhausting. What good does it do you? Be honest, are you trying to change wives?"
Qing Muye chuckled at her words, tilting his head to place a gentle kiss on her cheek. "We were apart for another month due to the trips to the Hidden Clan. Don't you know that absence makes the heart grow fonder?"
"You say that as if last night was the only time you were this passionate," Meng Jingwei blinked her lashes, looking at him with a playful pout. "I never realized you had such a high libido before."
