They were in charge of being beautiful, and she was in charge of taking the hits.

The room was filled with the clattering sound of an abacus. Yue'er rested her chin on her hand, fiddling with her hair.

"My lord, it's been so long since His Highness has visited us! I'm so anxious!"

"I was here the day before yesterday."

"She came to withdraw money!"

"Moon, you're so talkative."

Wu Ziyan's voice came from the courtyard: "I think I hear you talking about me, Yue'er."

"You must be thinking to yourself, 'I'm the first person to live off a woman so brazenly.'"

"Hmph, our young master's hands are calloused from all the planning for the Chamber of Commerce. They used to be such beautiful hands."

“Every time he fiddled with the abacus, he earned hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. Perhaps those calluses were the fruits of his happiness.”

As she spoke, she walked over to Fang Yuerong, carrying a food box in her hand, and took out two plates of pastries from the box.

He placed it in front of Fang Yuerong, then sat quietly opposite him, picking up the ledgers and looking at them.

"Yuerong, there's a temple fair outside the city that we've sponsored. Do you want to go together?"

“My lord, you have come here by wind, even sponsoring the temple fair.”

Yue'er pouted, always thinking that they didn't care more about their young master.

“Okay, if I’m free that day, after all, I still have a few business deals to discuss and I need to get close to Xiao Rong, the vice president of the chamber of commerce.”

"Oh, your schedule is so full, could you please cancel a couple of things for my sake?"

"It has to be me?"

"of course."

"Moon, go get my schedule and take a look. I should be able to free up that day."

Yue'er complained inwardly, "This young master is really something. People have already invited him, but he still has to be busy with official business!"

"I'm free, young master. I'm free that day."

Yue'er didn't even show him the watch; she made the decision for him directly.

Fang Yuerong shook his head. Didn't he understand Yue'er's little thoughts?

"Moon, let's not bother Yue Rong with our score here. Come on, come out."

"what!"

"come on."

Wu Ziyan closed the ledger and placed it on the table. She walked out while talking, and Yue'er had no choice but to follow her out.

After walking a long way to make sure Fang Yuerong couldn't hear her, she asked with a smile.

"Moon, you've been with Yue Rong for many years now, don't you know what he likes the most?"

"I know, young master loves money the most, and he loves making money!"

"I'm talking about things other than making money."

"I like it...I like it..."

Yue'er really didn't know, but he did know that Fang Yuerong was always happy whenever she went out alone with Wu Ziyan.

"I think that besides making money, young master probably likes...likes you."

"Oh, I see. I always thought he preferred money."

"Young master likes you very much."

Wu Ziyan pondered that Fang Yuerong had always been gentle with her, and she felt that there was no passion in her. She wanted to take advantage of the temple fair to rekindle the passion.

Since he actually liked her, she would give him a surprise; Yue'er entered the room and saw Fang Yuerong still busy doing accounts.

Seeing Yue'er come in, he still looked up at her and asked, "Yue'er, what did the master say to you?"

"Still calling me 'boss'? We've been married for years and haven't said a word!"

The moon is truly disappointed in its son!

On the day of the temple fair, Fang Yuerong spent the entire morning meeting with other guests outside.

The carriage waited outside the attic until the afternoon.

He thought Wu Ziyan was inside the carriage, but when he got in, he found it empty.

But before he could ask the driver, the driver spurred the horse and sped off towards the outskirts of the city.

Wu Ziyan went to the temple fair early in the morning. He met a variety show troupe, gave them some money, and told them about the show they would be performing that night.

Halfway there, Fang Yuerong couldn't help but ask, "Where is Her Highness? Wasn't she supposed to come with me?"

"His Highness said that you, my concubine, should go first, and she will follow shortly."

Fang Yuerong shook her head and didn't ask any further questions. By the time they reached the outskirts of the city, it was already getting dark.

Colorful lanterns were hung all around, which really brought back memories of the old days.

"Fang Cefu, you are getting off the carriage here. His Highness has given the order."

"it is good."

There were scattered pedestrians on both sides of the road, walking further in.

The light path seemed to extend very far, remaining lit all the way inside.

Fang Yuerong had no idea what Wu Ziyan was up to, and as she walked in, she didn't see her anywhere.

The place gradually became lively, with more and more people selling food, toys, and other items—a dazzling array of goods.

"Okay! One more!"

"it is good!"

A large crowd had gathered around, seemingly watching a variety show, and they were all thoroughly enjoying it.

Since Fang Yuerong was already there, she decided to squeeze in and take a look.

Wu Ziyan watched him appear from the shadows and gave the owner of the circus troupe a wink.

Nodding in understanding, he said, "Everyone, our troupe has a new magic trick called 'The Great Disappearance of a Person.' I can conjure up anyone you wish to see."

Almost everyone present was a shill for Wu Ziyan; several people had gone up ahead to test the waters.

They conjured up the people they wanted to see, and the onlookers outside exclaimed in amazement.

Although Fang Yuerong was very familiar with these tricks of the trade, seeing so many people succeed made her eager to try them herself.

"Young master, why are you alone? Would you like to touch this box? I can conjure up the person you desire."

Fang Yuerong walked up to it. It was just an ordinary box, with no hidden compartments on any side. He wanted to see what kind of trick it was.

The troupe leader mumbled an incomprehensible incantation, then pointed at the box, which cracked into four pieces.

Inside was a beautiful woman dressed in fiery red, wearing a veil, her eyes sparkling as if a galaxy were reflected in them.

The people below exclaimed "Wow!" Fang Yuerong was also stunned. What he thought in his heart could really come to life!

Wu Ziyan spread her arms and jumped onto him. He hugged her tightly, his eyes full of doting affection.

"I was just thinking of coming to find you, and then I inexplicably ended up here."

"Ziyan, you're not a child anymore, why are you acting like one?"

"So you weren't thinking of me just now?"

"It's you."

He just picked her up and carried her away, leaving the people in the audience to realize, "Did we just eat some dog food?"

"There are riddle guessing games over there, let's go watch."

"it is good"

Everything was just like that year, when Fang Yuerong embraced her tightly amidst the lanterns, holding a lantern with the character for "happiness" in her hand.

His love was about protection, not about being clingy every day. But she, just by standing there, seemed to shine brighter than all the gold and jewels.

"That's it?"

When the kiss ended, she was even a little reluctant to leave, so she clung to his neck, asking for more. He tapped her forehead.

"Boss, the most successful deal I've ever made in my life was getting involved with you!"

"regret?"

"I regret not joining my employer sooner."
