"Why not sell it? You'd be a fool not to make money, but this glass shell can only come from Nanyue Kingdom, otherwise it might bring disaster!" Zhou Shiren said with a frown.

The other two understood Zhou Shiren's intention. He wanted to conceal the fact that Tang Yiran had mastered the glass-making skills, but he still wanted to make money with this skill, which was not a bad idea.

But... I'm afraid this rare skill will be wasted!

After listening to Zhou Shiren's words, Yu Qinghong felt that something was wrong. He frowned and thought for a long time, then relaxed his brows after a while.

"Have it!"

Yu Qinghong closed his fan and said, "If that's the case, why not find a protective umbrella! That way, no one will dare to interfere!"

"Protective umbrella?!" Tang Yiran and Zhou Shiren asked in confusion.

"Offer the glassmaking skills to the court. Once the court has mastered this skill, no one will bother you, Yilan, and you can even negotiate terms with the court!"

Yu Qinghong said calmly.

"In this way, the imperial court will naturally become your protective umbrella, Yilan."

Yu Qinghong looked at Tang Yiran and continued solemnly.

Tang Yiran remained silent. She knew that this was the best solution for her at the moment, but it also meant that she would lose her monopoly on glass making skills.

Seeing that Tang Yiran didn't respond, Yu Qinghong knew that she was in a difficult situation, so he gently said, "How about? Think of another way?"

Tang Yiran figured it out, and she said firmly: "I'll give it to you!"

"But...what can the court give me?"

Tang Yiran asked.

"What to give depends on the emperor's will. Every porridge and every meal is a favor from the emperor. However... I will ask my father to do his best to maximize your benefits."

Yu Qinghong's eyes are sincere.

"Okay! I'll leave it to you. If you need my cooperation, please let me know."

Tang Yiran said calmly.

She then turned towards Zhou Shiren and said:

"Now let's move on to the lip balm."

Tang Yiran said to Zhou Shiren naturally: "Stretch out your hand!"

When Zhou Shiren heard this, he remembered the tingling and numb feeling when Tang Yiran tried lip balm on his hand. Although he pretended to be reserved and didn't look in Tang Yiran's direction, he obediently stretched out his hand with a smile on his face. Even AK couldn't suppress the corners of his mouth!

Tang Yiran was already preparing to apply the color on Zhou Shiren's arm for a test. She picked up a tube of lip balm and applied the first stroke.

Yu Qinghong couldn't bear to see this, so he made a gesture to Tang Yiran, took the lip balm from Tang Yiran's hand, and directly grabbed Zhou Shiren's hand and started applying it for him one by one.

Zhou Shiren felt a hand holding his hand while he was painting. He suddenly became nervous and his heart started pounding faster and faster, as if it was going to jump out of his throat. He really enjoyed this feeling.

Zhou Shiren thought to himself complacently: "Beauty is holding my hand, please apply it slowly."

So Zhou Shiren tried hard to suppress his excitement and said shyly, "This... isn't a good idea, is it?"

After Yu Qinghong finished applying the last one, he asked leisurely, "What's wrong?"

Zhou Shiren turned around and found that it was Yu Qinghong holding his hand, while Tang Yiran was drinking tea leisurely beside him.

Zhou Shiren felt a chill and got goose bumps all over his body, as if there were thorns on the seat. Zhou Shiren immediately jumped up from his seat and pulled his hand away from Yu Qinghong.

"You...why are you holding my hand? You don't have any ideas about me, do you? I tell you, I only hold beautiful women with these hands!" Zhou Shiren shook his hands in disgust and said angrily to Yu Qinghong.

Yu Qinghong's face darkened again as he asked, "Do you think it was Yilan who was holding your hand?"

Zhou Shiren felt a little guilty, his eyes were evasive, and he said hesitantly: "No... no! It's just..."

Yu Qinghong stood up angrily and made a gesture of invitation, saying: "Boss Zhou, it seems that we are still not on the same page. Let's not discuss this business anymore. Please go back!"

Seeing this, Tang Yiran knew that Yu Qinghong must be jealous again. This jealous look is actually... quite cute!

"Boss Tang, do you think so too?" Zhou Shiren looked at Tang Yiran for help.

Tang Yiran didn't want to offend Yu Qinghong, nor did he want to lose Zhou Shiren as a partner, so he had to say to Zhou Shiren, "Boss Zhou, today's atmosphere is not suitable for discussing business. How about... I come to visit you in person another day?"

Zhou Shiren didn't care much about Qinghong's attitude. Instead, Tang Yiran's words gave him peace of mind. He didn't feel sad at all, and even felt a little happy. He smiled meaningfully at Yu Qinghong and said, "Boss Tang, I'll wait for Boss Tang to come to Yiren Pavilion."

After Zhou Shiren left, Tang Yiran said with a straight face: "Qinghong, are you being a little willful?"

Yu Qinghong was like a little wife, mumbling with a face full of grievance: "I'm angry just because I think he has bad intentions towards you, right?" His handsome face was full of innocence and grievance, as if he had suffered a great injustice.

Tang Yiran shook her head helplessly, looking at Yu Qinghong with eyes full of doting and helplessness. She knew that Yu Qinghong had lost his sense of proportion just because of her. How could a person who had been in the business world for many years offend others so easily?

Thinking of this, Tang Yiran couldn't bear to blame Yu Qinghong too much, so he said softly: "Don't do it again next time! Try to control your emotions in the future."

Yu Qinghong immediately jumped up excitedly, pecked Tang Yiran lightly on the face, and then ran away quickly.

Tang Yiran was distracted by this little peck, and a blush appeared on his face, but he just curled the corners of his mouth slightly and said to himself coquettishly: "Lecher!".

After a moment, Yu Qinghong came in from the backyard again, showing his handsome face and asked curiously.

"Yi Ran, what's going on in that room?"

Tang Yiran asked in confusion, "Which room?"

But after a moment Tang Yiran reacted and wondered, is he talking about movable type printing?

"You must be asking about movable type printing. I was thinking of showing it to you when you came back, but I got busy and forgot about it." Tang Yiran continued.

"Come on! I'll show you!"

Tang Yiran naturally reached out his hand and took Yu Qinghong's hand to walk towards the backyard.

Yu Qinghong lowered his head and looked intently at Tang Yiran's small hand, which was holding his big hand. He felt the softness and delicacy of the small hand. Yu Qinghong smiled in the corners of his eyes and brows. He seemed to be walking in the clouds with Tang Yiran, and the whole person was floating.

"Does this count as... a tacit agreement that they are together?" Yu Qinghong couldn't help but think wildly.

Yu Qinghong was speaking when he suddenly heard Tang Yiran excitedly say:

"Qinghong, look! This is the promotional advertisement I printed using movable type. How is it? Is it better than copying? Moreover, these movable type blocks only need to be engraved once and can be used repeatedly!"

Tang Yiran picked up the advertising leaflet and showed it to Yu Qinghong! At this moment, Tang Yiran was bright and sunny, with the agility of a young girl, and her face was full of vitality, as if she had infinite vitality!

Yu Qinghong couldn't take his eyes off it. He took the advertisement absentmindedly and said, "Very good, very good!"

Tang Yiran said thoughtfully: "What should we print? Why not... just print some cooperation contracts? They will be useful anyway."

"Qinghong! Qinghong? What are you standing there for? Come and help!"

Yu Qinghong didn't react until Tang Yiran called him several times, but when he opened his mouth, he even said to himself: "Yiran, is it true that you like me today?"

Tang Yiran didn't know why he suddenly said this, so he said seriously: "Since I said it, it is true."

Yu Qinghong asked again: "Are we lovers now?"
