1261 Common World

nting how many handmaidens followed him, when his voice startled me.He obviously saw the painting and said with displeasure, "What's so good about these images imagined by worldly people""Fantasy I th..."Sit still, this is your lucky chance." Mu Wanchen feigned anger and glared at me with a smile.

This is also taking advantage of Great Shaman Wang's fame, I thought to myself with a smirk, relaxing one hand while holding onto Mu Wanchen's arm tightly.

To be honest, Mu Wanchen is a really, really good partner.

He was somewhat cold and even harsh to outsiders, but to me he was very gentle. He would urge me not to be idle while also carefully looking after me everywhere.

Such a husband, how could I bear to part from him I wish we could stick together all the time.

Now that my belly is big, even hugging feels a little awkward. He already had to bend over slightly to meet me for a neck kiss, and now he has to take half a step back so he doesn't bump into my stomach.

Now too, he worries about bumping his elbow on me, his arm's solid muscles tensing even more.

"Little Luo'er, you've already done so much for me, far exceeding my expectations. I'm not very good with words, but I'll never abandon you."

"Lies! You pushed me out of the tomb!" I seethed, Mu Wanchen's light push back then still sent shivers down my spine when I thought about it.

Who knew Mu Wanchen wouldn't take it to heart at all. He chuckled and said, "In dangerous places, of course I can't let you take risks with me. A wife should stand behind her husband."

"Hmph, anyway you always think you're right. If you do this again next time, I'll be angry."

"Will you really be angry" Mu Wanchen turned his head to look at me and smiled, "Even if you cry and scream, complain and make a fuss, you hardly ever truly get angry. At first, I thought you were a spoiled little princess, but after observing you for so long, I realized that you are actually a very magnanimous and composed woman."

He suddenly praised me, and my face turned a little red.

Although Miao Wang City has the fearsome Tomb of the Corpse King, it also boasts hills on both sides that rise and fall like waves, and a stretch of azure water flowing eastward.

We rode a dragon across the water, scaring the people living on both sides. They all bowed and paid homage to the “Water Dragon King.”

"In the future, I'll make you several more jade bamboo tubes," Mu Wanchen said. "Let Mu Mu also live in your jade bamboo tube. With these monsters and spirit worms guarding you, I'll feel much more at ease."

In the ordinary world, there are so many dangers... Let's finish moving first. I said to Mu Wanchen.

He nodded and turned his head to look in the direction of the wharf.

I looked at his profile, the faint mist and steam from the water rippling across his cheeks and hair.

Like a celestial being with the youthful appearance of a crane and the hair of white, he rode a dragon away.

Registration of personnel is one matter, and establishing a secluded village in the wasteland outside my mother's ancestral home is another.

This is not just about money; spending it is like a bottomless pit.

I sold all those diamonds through Daozong, and then had the foreign exchange laundered back through my seventh senior brother's company. Looking at the numbers in my hand, I was astonished.

Money, to a certain extent, really just becomes a number. There's no limit to how much you can spend.

I commissioned a private construction company to design a rural farmhouse with some elements of the Wuzhuang City architecture. I want the residents to feel a sense of belonging and not wander off.

But when it came to the actual construction, problems arose despite the land being approved for development.

No privately owned construction company has the capability to build thousands of apartment buildings and associated living facilities.

Hospitals, schools, roads, power grids, water networks... This is just a beautiful fantasy.

I sat before Lin Yanhua, the son of Lord Lin, and handed him that thick box of documents. He glanced through them for a while and immediately understood the problem.

"The idea is good, but to build a town out of thin air, how is that possible with just one person" he said lightly.

"I'm sorry, I lack social experience…" I said, bowing my head.

"It's not your fault, women are emotional, especially since you're about to give birth. You shouldn't worry too much about these things... I'll handle it." He closed the file box and handed it to a man wearing glasses beside him.

I know that this man's surname is Fang and he is Master Lin's trusted aide.

Fang the assistant didn't say a word, just left with the box, leaving me sitting alone in Lin Gongzi's office.

This is the small wife's hometown, Master Lin has a business here and therefore also has a permanent office.

After I tallied up the personnel, I organized them into an electronic file at home and flew over to discuss with Miss Lin how to put it into practice. I don't want to drag this out too long – because my belly is getting bigger and bigger.

"Where's your husband" Miss Lin greeted me.

"Oh... he's staying at his junior wife's place temporarily. I don't want him to go out, he's too eye-catching."

I'm quite helpless about this. Having to run around a high-end office building while heavily pregnant feels like something straight out of a melodramatic soap opera about wealthy families, but Mu Wanchen is just too eye-catching. He's tall, handsome, strong, and has a head full of silver hair. If I were to tie his hair up and put a hat and mask on him, he'd look like a robber.

Miss Lin smiled and said, “I admire you girls very much. Whether it's love or life, you often encounter danger, but you still have your own beliefs…”

I purse my lips: "Beliefs are all the husband's. We only marry and follow our husbands."

"Haha, you're so straightforward," Lin Gongzi smiled, looking at me with surprise in her eyes.

It wasn't really a smile, more like a twitch of the corner of his lips. This man was truly an ice sculpture in human form.

"That... Young Master Lin, why are you willing to help us so much" Now that there were no outsiders, I felt braver.

“......Helping you” He let out a cold laugh: “Am I not helping the country by doing this”

Well...

"You might think this is just an internal matter within your circle, your family. But in my eyes, anything that happens on the land of this country is a national affair." he said calmly.

"Although I have little interest in politics, my family bloodline is here after all. If your bloodlines are to inherit the responsibilities of this yin-yang circle, then mine is to do its best to maintain the peace of this country, even if it's insignificant."

"There are many things that cannot be said or should not be said on the surface, and the state will also do them. Many unsung heroes work tirelessly, even at the cost of their lives, to keep this national machine running. I happened to have this chance encounter with you all, so helping you is also equivalent to helping myself, it's just going with the flow."

I swallowed nervously. I originally thought he was just some rich kid, the son of a high-ranking official or a wealthy businessman, but after talking to him seriously, I realized he was different from us.

His "vision" is on a completely different level from ours.

I returned to my junior wife's home and looked at this row of similar small buildings. My junior wife's house was the first one at the intersection of Culture Street, with a clean front and back yard.

Not grand nor luxurious, it has a very down-to-earth feel. Who would have thought that so many extraordinary people reside here

Isn't this what it means to hide in plain sight

"You're back" The young wife smiled at me, "Did you see Lin Yanhuan"

I nodded. "Met him... Talking to him, I feel like an ignorant commoner."

"Haha, I feel the same way," the young mistress comforted me. "Jiang Qiyun said that he is a rare gem, possessing the aura of an imperial lineage and state. Ordinary people will feel inferior in front of him and be embarrassed to talk to him."

"Where's Mu Wanchen" I struggled to sit down on the sofa and asked my junior wife.

The junior wife now spends most of her time at the Shen residence because she is the acting head of the family, and has to stay there most of the time. So I'm not surprised that she hasn't seen her younger brother or sister. Even if I heard they went to the underworld, I would think it was perfectly normal.

The little mistress pouted and said, "Oh, there's a parent-teacher conference at Gluttonous Wolf School today. I asked Mu Wanchen to go on my behalf."

What!

>d me.The old woman beside him was startled and her eyes widened. The wine jug she held for the sacrifice fell to the ground by her feet.Ugh, ~~this kiss is going on a bit too long, isn't it~~He pinche...
