Thinking about how his cousin had no time to play games recently because of Lemeng’s affairs, but even then, he asked his secretary to play games for him just so he could bring him and Lin Xiao along, Qin Xing felt even more touched.
“Older Brother, don’t worry, I won’t be addicted to games. I only play for one or two hours a day at most.”
Qin Xing couldn’t wait any longer, “How about we play some now?”
Qin Moling only knew how to collect daily items and couldn’t even understand the game map.
He always remained calm at negotiation tables; he could easily deal with naive people like Qin Xing and Lin Xiao.
Qin Moling did not accept Qin Xing’s invitation to play the game. He glanced at Lin Xiao beside him and said lightly, “How are the fireworks preparations going?”
Lin Xiao: “…”
He’d forgotten that the she-devil was Qin Moling’s wife!
He complained about the she-devil that day—no wonder ‘Little Olive’ said that as a man, why did he talk so much.
“Older Brother,” he followed Qin Xing’s manner of calling, “You know, I really have no ill will towards the boss.”
He promised, “I won’t set off any more fireworks.”
Qin Moling said, “Can you still return it after buying it?”
“… It’s definitely not easy to return.” The fireworks were custom-made according to his wishes and he had already paid for them.
Qin Moling nodded slightly and said, “Since it’s hard to return it, then just give them to me.”
Lin Xiao: “…”
What was this but a blatant rip-off!
But Qin Moling was so imposing, completely brooking no arguments, which made Lin Xiao lose confidence. He had no choice but to agree, “Okay, I’ll send them to you when the time comes.”
Qin Moling said, “Don’t bother, just follow your original plan and set off the fireworks on time. You and Qin Xing will be in charge of setting them off. I’ll take Jian Hang to watch, and you can prepare some snacks and fruits for Jian Hang.”
Lin Xiao: “…”
He really wanted to curse someone but didn’t know where to start or who to curse.
Those were the fireworks he prepared to celebrate his new life. He thought that he would finally stop seeing the she-devil. But in fact, the she-devil would be the main celebrant to his new life.
Anyway, things had already come to this point, he could only agree even if he had to hold his nose, “Okay.”
Qin Xing wanted to laugh, but he held it back and almost got internal injuries for his efforts.
Qin Moling suddenly looked at Qin Xing, his eyes calm, “You seem to have quite a few limited edition game figures.”
Qin Xing: “…”
He suddenly couldn’t laugh anymore.
His cousin actually set his sights on his action figures—they were his life!
Qin Moling was direct and straightforward, “Give me three.”
Qin Xing: “…”
He originally wanted to blackmail his cousin into playing a few games with them, but ended up losing both the wife and the army.
This time it was Lin Xiao who was gloating.
“Send the three figures to my office tomorrow.” After saying that, Qin Moling turned around and walked towards the door of the private room.
“… Hey, Older Brother, where are you going? Why don’t you play with us?”
“I’m busy.”
“…”
Qin Xing looked at his back and asked anxiously, “When are you free?”
Qin Moling didn’t even turn his head, “Let’s talk about it later.”

After leaving the private room, Qin Moling went straight downstairs.
His car was in the parking lot and the driver took another car to pick Jian Hang up.
Opening the trunk, Qin Moling took out a bag which contained the dress that Jian Hang was going to wear tonight. He brought it over.
He put the bag on the back seat of the car, got in, and didn’t go upstairs again.
[Where are you?] Zhong Yanyue sent him a message.
She had been playing cards for him until now. The table was full of big shots. She was a little nervous and didn’t know whether to play to win or lose.
Qin Moling only replied with three words: [Something came up.]
Zhong Yanyue had no choice but to continue playing her next card and stop disturbing him.
Qin Moling supported his chin and looked outside the car from time to time.
At 9:05, the car that came to pick up Jian Hang drove into the clubhouse parking area.
Qin Moling slid down the car window, “Jian Hang.”
Jian Hang had just gotten off the car and looked in the direction of the voice.
Unexpectedly, he was waiting for her in the car.
Jian Hang came up from the other side and closed the car door; Qin Moling also slid up the window. In an instant, you could hear a pin drop in the car.
“I brought you a small gift,” Jian Hang said, opening the bag.
Qin Moling had everything he needed, but he still looked forward to the gift that Jian Hang would give him.
Jian Hang took out a can of coffee, “It’s a niche brand. My best friend recommended it to me before, it tastes authentic. I didn’t expect it to be sold in an imported store in Suzhou, so I bought you a can. You don’t have to drink boiled water with me in the future.”
Qin Moling took it but didn’t take a closer look at what kind of coffee it was. He lowered his head and paused before her lips for two seconds.
Jian Hang raised her head slightly in response, and Qin Moling kissed her.
They haven’t seen each other for three days, but neither of them deliberately thought about whether they missed each other or not.
Lips and tongues became inseparable.
There were people waiting for them in the private room upstairs, so Qin Moling ended the kiss after a while.
“I brought you the dress.” He handed the bag to her.
Jian Hang directly changed her clothes in front of him. When she half stood up to adjust her skirt, Qin Moling reacted quickly—he dropped the coffee and put his palm on the roof of the car to prevent her from accidentally hitting her head.
Qin Moling briefly told her about ‘Little Olive’ putting on the wrong vest1 so that she would know what was going on.
Jian Hang laughed, “Did they run into a wall after they mistakenly thought that you were ‘Little Olive’?”
“Not sure. But it took a while before they came to me.”
Qin Moling pretended to be casual and asked, “Why are you called ‘Olive’? Did you choose your own English name?”
“It wasn’t me, someone gave it to me.” Jian Hang didn’t know the boy’s name. Children were not like adults who would habitually ask others for their names. Those older than them would simply be called older brother or older sister. “When I was a child, an older brother gave it to me. It should be a disobedient boy in your class, or maybe he was from the class next door.”
At that time, her mother taught mathematics to two classes.
Qin Moling commented on the name he himself had picked before out of ignorance, “Olive doesn’t sound very nice.”
“Doesn’t it?” Jian Hang said, “I think it’s okay.”
Qin Moling seemed to want to say something more but stopped himself.
If she thought it sounded good, then it sounded good.
… …
After changing her clothes, they went upstairs together.
Jian Hang first went to have a drink with the birthday boy. She couldn’t drink alcohol, so she had a non-alcoholic drink instead.
“Thank you for your support, sister-in-law.” Qin Xing was still heartbroken over the loss of three of his beloved figurines. Jian Hang didn’t like playing games, so he couldn’t complain to her.
Not only could he not complain, he also had to keep it a secret for my cousin.
Many couples quarreled because their significant other played games, so he couldn’t tell Jian Hang about it so as to avoid inciting conflicts between the two.
Three limited edition figures! Older Brother was so cruel.
The more he thought about it, the more depressed he became.
After talking to Qin Xing for a few words, Jian Hang went to find Qin Moling who was playing cards.
She recognized all the people at the poker table. In addition to Jiang Shenghe, the other two were major clients of Yinlin Capital. She had had several contacts with them during their cooperation.
After the greetings, she sat down next to Qin Moling.
They were playing cards and chatting at the same time, with Jian Hang occasionally saying a few words. They were talking about things in the financial circle that she could understand and was interested in, so it wasn’t boring at all sitting next to them.
“How is Teacher Chen’s health?” Jiang Shenghe asked.
Jian Hang smiled and said, “Not bad, same as always.”
Jiang Shenghe said, “Let’s go visit Teacher Chen some day.”
Jian Hang thought that Jiang Shenghe was just being polite. She simply took it as a polite remark and didn’t take it seriously. “You’re welcome to visit anytime.”
Finally, it was eleven o’clock. Qin Moling threw away the cards in his hand and said, “You guys play more. Jian Hang is still recuperating these days. Uncle Zhou said that she can’t stay up late.”
In order to leave the party early, he moved Dean Zhou out.
It was no longer a secret that Jian Hang had resigned from Yinlin—they all heard something about it. The last time Jian Hang was on a business trip in Suzhou, she went to the hospital for an infusion in the middle of the night. Qin Xing had mentioned this.
They knew that Jian Hang has exhausted her body due to her high-intensity work.
The birthday boy Qin Xing urged them, “Older Brother, take sister-in-law home quickly. Health is important.”
It became like this, but Jian Hang knew very well why Qin Moling was in a hurry to go home.
… …
On the way back, Qin Moling asked her, “Are you going to the company tomorrow?”
“No need to go.” Jian Hang was completely relaxed and have officially started vacation mode.
Qin Moling looked at her, “Jian Hang, are you willing to come to Lemeng?”
