Chapter 181: Who Else Can Be Your Man?
Seeing that they had been caught, neither of the four men wanted to wait and be caught, so they rushed away quickly.
Song Yan giggled as she looked at their fleeing back.
"Brother, that was so cool!" She praised and grabbed his arm, acting coy.
Song Jian smiled and ruffled her head dotingly. "Next time, don't argue with such people. Strength and tactics are the best way to deal with that kind of people,"
Song Yan nodded and pulled him into the laboratory.
Since it was mass production, the major thing she needed to do was control the machines and since she had been doing it for more than a month she could handle it.
Also, Rong Yue had made it easy for her, and each herb was prepared in different rooms. As long as she picked them up in the collection room, the machines would do the extraction and get them ready for mixing.
"Some of the workers are starting to complain. I think that we should start using a shift method so that work goes on around the clock," Song Yan said.
Song Jian looked at her with pride. Her suggestion was part of Rong Yue's six-month plan for the factory. By Rong Yue's estimate, after the six-month gap, word of mouth would have skyrocketed, and they would need work to go on around the clock.
However, her six-month prediction had already happened in about four weeks. It was really hard to imagine how things would be in six months.
Perhaps, they would hold off their launch until things were more stable.
"We can start that after a while. This time, I estimate that some people are ordering because they are worried that the quality would reduce once our company grows."
Song Jian explained what he had noticed when he discussed it with the guy that ran the website. Most of the customers had similar locations; order numbers had also increased.
So while order output was exceedingly high, the new profiles being created were not yet overboard.
Song Yan finally understood what was happening and smiled in satisfaction.
"They will be shocked when they see that we only plan to get better even in the next ten years!"
"Also, I heard that the college entrance exam results would be out soon. How would we survive when you leave?" Song Yan asked as she remembered the news she had heard this morning.
"With Manager Fang, I know you don't need me,"
The both of them chatted as they entered the laboratory and started work for the day.
Back in the capital,
Rong Yue was just as busy as them. With adequate money, there was nothing impossible, and that was simply the major strategy for the arcade centres.
Since the capital was busier and usually had a lot of traffic, people would not want to go over to the other side just because they wanted to take the children out for a fun day.
One of the stores was in the upper district and required more attention after all, if she wanted the elite families to find it appropriate to bring their kids there, she also had to make it to their taste.
Luckily, Qin Yichen and Lu San helped her, and together, they had drawn the design.
There was also one that was designed to be even cheaper than the first one, this way, she had met the taste of everyone in the capital.
Qin Yichen was impressed with that logic and praised her. "You should focus on the provinces close to the capital after you are done with the release of the game,"
The both of them were seated in the living room. It was past Qin Heng's bedtime and he was already upstairs in his room.
Qin Yichen lifted her leg and placed it on his lap shocking Rong Yue.
"What are you doing?" She asked as she tried to pull her leg away from him in embarrassment.
Qin Yichen's hands tightened over her ankle even more restricting her movements.
"Lu San told me about all the running around that you both did today, as your man, I want to assist by massaging your legs,"
Looking at the serious expression on his face, Rong Yue was stumped for words.
This same words! Her man.
Usually, anytime Qin Yichen pulled a move like this, Rong Yue would soften and allow him to do what he wanted.
But this time, she didn't, instead, she glared at him and resisted even harder.
"Since when did you become my man?"
"How do I have no recollection at all?"
Qin Yichen's smile widened as his on her deepened.
He leaned in so that his forehead was almost touching her forehead.
"If I'm not your man, then what am I?"
Rong Yue flushed, stumped for words and unable to reply him.
"Yichen!"
Qin Yichen pinched her cheeks lightly, a frown crossing his face in displeasure, "If you keep calling me that way, I would have no choice but to teach you a lesson, as your man, I'm the only one that should see your tender side,"
Unable to reply, Rong Yue could only stare into his eyes, her own eyes filled with anger as she felt like this man was used to taking advantage of her.
It was not like she repelled him anymore and she was certain that he must have seen how her heart was opening up to him also.
In the last weeks since they got back, he would make breakfast and then still help her with her hair anytime it was damp.
Often times, they came back home together with Qin Heng or not.
Also, most of her plans were bared open for him. Clearly, he must have seen that she wasn't as against a relationship as she used to be.
Yet, he was acting all ignorant and skipping the normal process that he ought to take as a man.
"You are a friend, a friend that I'm living with temporarily,"
Hearing the reply to the question, Qin Yichen's free hand creeped up to her waist and pulled her into his embrace completely.
"You have taken advantage of me all these while and you want to be my friend? Do you want me to show you what happens between a man and a woman that lives together?"
Qin Yichen didn't even give her a chance to reply before he closed her lips with his own. Allowing himself the pleasure of experiencing what he had ached for so long.
He had stolen a kiss from her more than twice when she was sleeping and when he had pretended to sleep walk.
But to kiss her so openly and have all of her around him, he had only dared to dream but never dared to carry it out, after all, what would happen if he frightened his little girl away.
Now that he could see her acceptance of him in her dark and clear gaze, he didn't want to waste words. He had already claimed her as his woman so many times with his words.
Rong Yue pushed against him out of his instinct, his manly scent flooding her nostril and making her thoughts clouded.
The more she struggled, the tighter Qin Yichen hugged her until she couldn't help but surrender to him.
Eventually, she returned the kiss cautiously and then stopped again.
Qin Yichen however didn't stop and his hands around her waist kept on taking liberties around. It was only when he felt that Rong Yue was losing her breath that he stopped.
Even then, he placed his forehead with hers.
"Yue'er, I am your man and will remain the only man that you will let into your life…" he paused, his fingers moving up to touch Rong Yue's swollen and red lips.
"Even in the next life, only I is allowed to be your man."
"Since you have accepted me into your heart, there's no need for formalities,"
Rong Yue glared at him and in that moment when he was too focused on staring at her lips, she pushed him away and stood up.
However, having stayed in that position around him for a while and because she stood up in a rush, as soon as she stood up, her legs folded back and she fell in the same moment.
Qin Yichen reached out and grabbed her just before her entire body could hit the floor.
"Let go, Qin Yichen. I haven't accepted anything with you, if you want to…." Before she could complete her words, Qin Yichen sealed her lips with another kiss.
A shorter one and he let go of her soon enough.
"Don't jinx our relationship. Even Qin Heng already sees you as his Aunty. How can you say we aren't together?" He refuted shamelessly.
Rong Yue felt like her eyes were opened to how shameless this man could be.
Didn't he stop her little darling from hugging her just yesterday? How can he have the face to say such words.
Also, because of the fate she had suffered in the previous life, she didn't want a relationship where they didn't state things clearly with each other.
As much as she trusted Qin Yichen, she didn't want to be a fool a second time.
"Qin Yichen, wait till my 18th birthday before I give you the reply to the question you haven't asked,"
After saying that, she pushed herself up from his embrace and went upstairs.
