To make up for the debt owed to Lin Qingping and Gu Juncheng

That night, Lin Qingping really wished she could dig a hole and bury herself!

Every time things get critical, this person asks her "this question," leaving her hanging in suspense, her fingers practically pinching his flesh, yet he still wants the answer...

She vowed that she would think before she spoke from now on!

Finally, after much difficulty, he let her go. In the midst of the ups and downs, she saw his eyes above her, and it seemed as if fireworks were blooming within them.

"Gu Juncheng..." she murmured, wrapped her arms around his neck, and kissed him.

Her voice was hoarse...

Gu Juncheng pulled her tightly into his arms, unable to calm down for a long time.

Later, the two slept soundly again. Gu Juncheng held her and got down to business, "By the way, Wu Tianping told me that her sister's shopping mall is being restructured and she's planning to open a dessert shop like yours in the mall. What do you think?"

This is the beginning of the directly operated store model? And this is only in which year? Isn't it starting way too early?

However, Lin Qingping frowned and asked, "Tianjiao and I are such good friends, why would I go through all that trouble and ask Wu Tianping to ask you?"

"I don't know." He seemed a little listless. "He probably thinks I'm the head of the household and have a lot to say to you, but actually, I'm nobody in this family!"

Hearing his tone, Lin Qingping couldn't help but lean against him and laugh, "Why do you sound a little resentful?"

He laughed at himself, "Of course I'd be resentful if I wasn't getting enough to eat!"

Lin Qingping remembered the bowl of "pig swill" noodles he had eaten. He had just "exercised" for so long, so it should have been digested by now. She covered her mouth and laughed, "Then shall I cook you something else to eat?"

Gu Juncheng looked at her, then suddenly rolled over and pinned her down. "I meant this isn't enough to fill you up!"

Lin Qingping laughed heartily, blocking him with her hand, "Stop fooling around, I can't take it anymore, really, I'm too tired..."

He didn't press her further after hearing this. He simply rolled over and let her lie on top of him. "Hmm, think about it. If you can, Wu, take advantage of your free time during the summer vacation and start preparing for it."

"Of course it's great! What's wrong with making money?" Lin Qingping happily nestled against his chest. "Do you know how much money our family has?"

"I don't know," he answered truthfully.

Lin Qingping thought about it and realized that it was true; he never inquired about how much money she had, but instead gave her all his wealth.

"Gu Juncheng..." She climbed up, very close to his lips, her small voice sticky and sweet, still carrying the lingering afterglow of their recent pleasure, "You gave me all your money, aren't you afraid I'll squander it all? Or trick my mom into paying off my brother's gambling debts?"

She almost touched his lips when she spoke.

It was rosy and glistening under the light, like a ripe peach I picked in the mountains when I was a child. One bite and the juice burst out.

He pressed her head down and sucked on it for a while before letting go. "I'm giving it to you so you can spend it however you want. You're the lady of the house, so you can make the decisions."

Lin Qingping was a little dizzy from his kiss, and she knew he would say that, but hearing him say it again still left her feeling uneasy.

In her past life, she was just as reckless, spending all his salary on her family...

"Are you stupid, Gu Juncheng?" Her nose stung, and she pinched him.

“I’m just afraid my salary isn’t enough. You’re raising a child alone, and the expenses in the capital are so high. I’m sorry to see you struggling.” He said with some helplessness, as his salary was his only source of income while he was in the military.

Lin Qingping felt even more bitter and called him a "fool," saying, "Our family has a lot of money."

Her money is really growing.

She originally didn't want to design clothes for the garment factory anymore, but the factory manager and deputy section chief kept inviting her. They had shown her kindness and support, so she continued to design clothes for her every season.

She was actually afraid that she had taken advantage of being reborn and had a head start, but she was really a novice. If she had known that she would have to make a living from this for a long time, she would have chosen to study fashion design.

Now that she's stuck in this situation, she can only study on her own in her spare time to keep up with the ever-evolving market demands.

Fortunately, she was very lucky, and every season she produced a hit product. The initial contract she signed with the clothing factory was a great deal for her, as she received a share of the profits based on sales volume. You can imagine how much money she made every season!

She felt a little embarrassed and told the factory manager that he would pay her the salary the designer was paid, but the factory manager did not agree, saying that since a contract had been signed, they should abide by the contract and not do anything untrustworthy.

Lin Qingping could only work even harder to live up to this trust.

Mei Li invested money in the factory and was the main designer. She also set up two production lines, one for underwear and one for ready-to-wear clothing, which were very successful.

In addition, dessert shops, even though the items cost only a few cents, or at most five cents, have high volume and high profit margins, so business is still pretty good, at least enough to cover daily expenses.

Now Wu Tianjiao wants her to join the shopping mall, so she'll only make more and more money.

She cupped Gu Juncheng's face in her hands, "Gu Juncheng, I'll protect you!"

Gu Juncheng laughed upon hearing this, "Are you silly? I'm a man, I should be the one protecting you."

“No.” She smiled and pressed her lips to his chin, feeling his rough stubble prick her face. “I will protect you. You protect the country, and I will protect you.”

Gu Juncheng: ...

Gu Juncheng was silent for a long time, then stroked her hair, "Lin Qingping."

"Ok?"

"You really..."

"what happened?"

"How could I bear to..."

Lin Qingping was furious upon hearing this. She propped herself up on her hands, her almond-shaped eyes wide open, her brows furrowed with a coquettish reproach. "You're going to abandon me? What do you mean?"

Gu Juncheng: ...

"No way!" Gu Juncheng immediately denied it, his gaze lingering on her with a distant, vacant look. "How could that be..."

For some reason, Lin Qingping sensed uncertainty in the blank space behind him.

This guy actually considered giving up! She knew it! No wonder he told her he wanted a divorce on the very first day she was reborn!

"Gu Juncheng!" she started to yell, "I'm so good to you, how could you actually bear to part with me? What were you thinking? Go stand in the circle!"

"You're too good for me. I was afraid you wouldn't want to." He looked up at her, his eyes sparkling like stars. "I'm not good enough. I'm dark-skinned, I'm rarely home, I can't help you with things at home, and I have a child to raise..."

Lin Qingping was now certain that her mother-in-law had indeed chosen her as his wife!

"And now?" Lin Qingping swayed against him.

"Now?" He pressed her down. "I told you before, you have no chance to regret it."

Lin Qingping snorted, "That's not necessarily true. Before you have any thoughts of abandoning me next time, I'll abandon you first! And then I'll go find a younger junior!"

"you dare!"

"I dare!" Lin Qingping kept moving around on him.

"Grandma, don't move!"

"I insist!"

"Try moving it again!"

"..."

"If you move again, I might lose control!"

"..."
