Chapter 244 Kiss
"How are Mr. Peter and the others now?" Jiang Yu asked Fan Qingyin.
“Mr. Peter’s pet business is booming; he’s already sold several pets in the last few days. But the transparent coral I sent with my shadow servant doesn’t seem to be of any use.”
“Mr. Peter is a leader in the industry, so it’s not surprising that many people who want to buy magical pets come here by reputation. We’ve already sent a fairly large transparent coral, so it seems we can only disappoint Mr. Peter.” The miracle didn’t happen, and Jiang Yu sighed with some disappointment.
“But you’ve already helped him.” Fan Qingyin took her hand to comfort her, referring to Jiang Yu’s act of pretending nothing had happened and protecting Peter.
"This is all I can do." Jiang Yu lowered her eyes and fell silent.
She remembered that Moa had once told her privately that he had a way to make Inhumans almost indistinguishable from ordinary people. Although she wasn't sure, she thought she might give it a try.
But she refused.
Moa is not a god.
He might be able to save one extraordinary person today, but what about the countless others?
She wasn't abandoning him to his death, but no one knew what the consequences would be, or what price Moya would have to pay.
Any established order being broken will inevitably cause bloodshed. Moa may have unparalleled fighting power, but she does not have the courage to take on the whole world, nor can she take her husbands with her to risk their lives to fulfill her own heroism.
In the long river of time, there has been far too much tragedy and suffering. Not every world in turmoil has a savior and a hero.
Jiang Yu raised her eyes and said to Fan Qingyin, "If Mr. Peter comes to you, tell him that if he is willing to set up a permanent office in Hollandpur, I can allocate him a completely enclosed piece of land that belongs only to him."
Fan Qingyin looked at Jiang Yu with some surprise.
“It’s better than staying in a cage all the time,” Jiang Yu said.
Jiang Yu returned to her room and took out the letter Chen Xin had written to her. She had already read the thick stack of letters twice.
The reply has also been written.
She had assumed that Chen Xin, with her impulsive nature, would rush over the moment she got home safely. But clearly, what happened with Zhong Qin had still hurt her too much.
None of the letters mentioned Zhong Qin, not even a single one, and there wasn't a single insult. It was as if all traces of this person had been completely wiped out the moment he died.
But Chen Xin was still experiencing the excruciating pain of betrayal and sudden anger, like a caterpillar being unraveled. So she stayed quietly in her own territory and did not come to see her.
There was certainly a hint of avoidance in their intentions.
Let's calm down and visit her in the Forest Empire after she finishes what she's doing.
In her letter, Chen Xin said that her performance review was not very successful because she had indulged in pleasure and entertainment during the first year and had not focused any energy on the affairs of the territory. As a result, even though Gilbert had prepared detailed performance review materials for her, she still messed it up.
So, after much agonizing reflection, she wrote to her friend seeking advice on how to take charge of the territory's affairs.
Having ambition is a good thing, and it's exactly what Chen Xin needs at this stage. That's why Jiang Yu wrote a very detailed sharing and advice in the letter.
Jiang Yu leaned back in her chair with her eyes closed, resting while mentally planning her next move. Suddenly, she felt a cold sensation on her calf, like some kind of snake slithering up her leg.
Jiang Yu opened her eyes and turned her head to look. The French windows of the terrace had been opened at some point. Mo Ya was leaning against the door with his arms crossed. The white and transparent gauze curtains were being blown by the wind, rising and falling beside him.
He stood there smiling, like a beautiful painting, if not for the mischievous tentacle that reached out.
"Moya, where have you been?" Jiang Yu hadn't seen him all morning, and now he was silently climbing up to her window. She reached out and pinched the playful little tentacles that kept swaying.
It was crystal clear, cool and refreshing, and without any disgusting slime. Jiang Yu liked it more and more as she looked at it.
Moa's ears turned bright red as the tentacle was being held, and she forced herself to answer, "Well, I went to the county to take a look around and familiarize myself with the environment."
"How does it feel?"
"It's very nice. Everyone is friendly and seems to be well-off."
“That’s a must.” Jiang Yu was somewhat proud. Although Hollandpur was originally wealthy because of the pearl diving industry, she was very satisfied that the entire population had been lifted out of poverty in just one year after she took over and implemented reforms with Qingyin.
“Although the wealthy remain the same, no one goes hungry, children can go to school and study, young adults have their own jobs and incomes, and the elderly do not worry about becoming a burden. My initial goal has been achieved.”
Jiang Yu said with a smile, "After I reduce taxes this time, everyone will have extra money in their hands, and they will have more flexible ideas and try things with a broader vision. Things will only get better and better."
"Otherwise, my people will starve, how am I supposed to feed you with gold coins and cookies? Isn't that right?"
"Of course, look who I am. How could my judgment be wrong?" Moya slowly walked over, knelt down in front of Jiang Yu, and hugged her tightly.
“Jiangjiang, I don’t want you to be too tired. You know there are many, many treasures at the bottom of the sea, inexhaustible. I’ll go and get them for you, and you can share them with the people in the county, isn’t that enough?”
"Wow~" Jiang Yu couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Let me hear this, what kind of domineering CEO speech is this?"
"Are you making fun of me?" Moya looked up at her pitifully, his gray eyes glistening with tears, evoking boundless tenderness.
Jiang Yu, captivated by Moya's beauty, gently pinched Moya's chin and said with a hint of indulgence, "Moya, you are so beautiful." She unconsciously swallowed, then blushed silently, feeling disgusted by her own infatuated behavior.
"Give me a kiss! We still have a year before we can become a couple, but kisses and hugs are fine too." Moya looked on with anticipation and joy: "Give me a kiss, Jiangjiang~"
Jiang Yu lowered her face and first kissed the round spot at the corner of Moya's eye with affection, then kissed Moya's soft, fragrant lips.
Moya's eyes crinkled as she deepened the kiss.
"Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime. Wealth earned through one's own efforts is the most cherished. Even a good person who suddenly becomes rich can run into problems," Jiang Yu explained breathlessly, leaning against Moya's chest as he spoke to the straightforward and blunt sea monster.
“And Hollandpur will become a target.” Moya had already gotten up and put her on his lap. Jiang Yu looked up and gently kissed Moya’s chin.
"So many ill-intentioned eyes are on you, so we have to be even more careful with our words and actions. Besides, I'm not tired at all. With you, Qingyin, and Yi by my side, helping me handle most of the affairs, do you know how happy I am?"
"I'm a lord, after all. It's perfectly normal for me to manage my territory occasionally. If you don't use your brain, it'll go bad!"
"As long as you're happy." Moya sighed, then grumbled, "Why is another year still so long~"
The long-lived willow rarely experienced the unbearable pain of the sunlight.
