Chapter 188 As long as there is love, there is no problem
4 month 15 day.

My father-in-law went back to Kyoto first.

The purpose of his trip was probably to help An Shiyao build relationships and see him again. The relationship between him and his daughter was probably that of a silent parent unique to the Snow Country.

"Dad, have a nice trip."

"..."

By the way, An Shiyao has never called her father-in-law "Dad". Only An Xiaoxi knows how to call him that.

The relationship was indeed a little unnatural, but generally speaking it wasn't as stiff as An Shiyao had described before.

4 month 16 day.

Cloudy and a bit cold.

Accompany An Shiyao and her sister to the hot springs.

"Why is my sister so good-looking? It's not fair."

"Xiao Xi?"

"Will my brother-in-law rub it like this? Or like this?"

"Stop it! I'm angry!"

"Oh, your face is blushing. It looks like this is how my brother-in-law rubs it."

"..."

"Hahaha, I was wrong...don't touch me."

"..."

Why are bathrooms divided into men's and women's bathrooms?
Just like bathrooms are divided into men's and women's bathrooms.

Forget it.

An Shiyao has been really tired recently, both mentally and physically. It's nice to have An Xiaoxi come and play with her, so she can relax a little.

"..."

"Oh, it feels so good."

"My whole body is hot."

The only problem was that An Xiaoxi and her sister came out in their underwear and wrapped in bath towels.

Not that I would have any thoughts about it.

Looking at their slightly red shoulders, I couldn't help but think of the mismatch in goods a few days ago.

"Brother-in-law, don't you need to blow dry your hair?"

"Just wipe it and let it dry naturally."

"That won't work. How about I help you get a trendy and cool look?"

"I'm past that age."

"Although I'm past that age, as a girl, no one would complain that their boyfriend is more handsome, right?"

"..."

so.

"Haha, stab this side again."

"Where's your butterfly hairpin? Put it on Mr. Su Ming too."

"..."

Why did the so-called trendy and cool hairstyle become a little Nezha? It has become a plaything, right?
Forget about my sister-in-law.

An Shiyao is coming too?
OK OK.

Wait until you return to your room alone.

"Wait a little longer, Xiaoxi may not be asleep yet."

"No wait."

"Eh?"

"You must be happy to help me tie my hair into a bun, right?"

"That's... woo!"

"It's my turn to have some fun."

It’s okay, just count her as the sister-in-law’s share.

4 month 17 day.

Night.

An Xiaoxi only took a week's leave and had to go back a day early.

"I bought this with my saved pocket money."

She had only just now brought out her gift.

Watches. Two couple watches in a beautiful gift box.

"I wish my sister and brother-in-law a long and happy life together, and may they have a baby soon."

"besides……"

"Next time my brother-in-law is here, I'd better not come to live at my sister's house."

"?"

Before entering the airport security check, An Xiaoxi turned around and made a face.

"I told you Xiaoxi must have heard it, why are you still coming!"

An Shiyao's face turned red instantly.

"Did you refuse?"

Su Ming asked calmly.

"……without."

"Were you the one who blew air into my ear on purpose?"

"..."

"It's not possible once, and you're the one who's still sitting cross-legged and refusing to let go, aren't you?"

Su Ming continued to ask.

"It's all your fault anyway! You seduced me on purpose!"

"It's the opposite of Tian Gang, right?"

"It's your fault. Humph."

"..."

back home.

"Xiaoxi has already left."

"so?"

"Don't you want to exercise?"

"Of course you have to exercise."

"..."

"Why are you lying on the ground?"

"Isn't it always like this before?"

"The past was the past, and the present is the present. Get out of the way."

"..."

"Don't delay my exercise. If you have nothing to do, go do some push-ups over there."

"If you keep bullying me like this, I'm going to bite you!"

"..."

Maybe because An Xiaoxi is around, she really can't let go.

Once her sister was gone, she wouldn't have to suppress any emotions anymore.

4 month 18 day.

early.

An ordinary day.

the company.

The employees worked very hard, and Su Ming only needed to sit in the supervisor's office and make a cup of tea.

He slowly looked at the things that needed to be checked and approved. The workload didn't even fill the first page of the form. An Shiyao seemed to have made another big decision during the few days when he was away.

The shares were distributed to all employees who had worked for more than 3 years or had made achievements. No matter how much or how little, it was undoubtedly a boost to the bad guys. Recently, many people worked so hard that they didn't even notice it when they got off work.

At this time, if An Shiyao said again that the company did not have the habit of overtime, who would not be moved to tears?
"You have transformed into a quasi-capitalist."

"It's a little more advanced than the 996 blessing. You are cultivating a true ox or horse from the heart."

"But I gave them meat to eat. I have a conscience."

"They are all set off by colleagues. So, why are you in my office, Mr. An?"

"…Inspecting the work. The supervisor is slacking off again. Is the tea good?"

"It's OK. Our company has a rule that as long as the task is completed, it doesn't matter if you slack off. There is no hard and fast deadline. No overtime."

"I'm very free."

"I am very busy."

"Really busy?"

She sat on the desk and stretched out her feet wrapped in black stockings.

"This is the unspoken rule in the workplace. You have to please your female boss~"

broken.

The office has really become a place for her to play.

There was nothing to hide at this point. There was no need to walk to the next intersection and then take An Shiyao's car. Just get on the bus openly at the company gate.

"It's true..."

"Su Mingzhen and Mr. An are dating. I saw them wearing the same watch this morning."

"The previous anchor really blew it... At the time, I thought that the little girl was still in school and a long-distance relationship would not work out."

"The question is, why was he able to pursue Mr. An? Why?"

"Why don't you ask Mr. An why?"

"..."

Although those in the company had expected it, actually witnessing it was another matter.

"They all thought you were chasing me."

"Any questions?"

"But in fact, I was chasing you, right?"

"Are you going to go out and make a statement with a megaphone?"

"If I were to be pursued by someone in an ordinary way... I can't imagine that I would agree to it."

“The more difficult the project, the more careful the exploration should be.”

"Am I a project again?"

4 month 18 day.

Night.

"There's something you don't know yet."

"what?"

"I have a daughter."

"..."

"I went to the orphanage with Xia Ye to adopt him. He should be 19 years old this year."

"…Adopted?"

"Yes, she will come to the Snow Country in early May."

"anything else?"

"No."

"I thought it was your and Xia Ye's child."

"Although she was adopted, Xia Ye and I do treat her as our own daughter."

"..."

"Hey... come to think of it, why can't I get pregnant?"

She touched her belly, a little confused, "I haven't taken any medicine or worn it recently. This shouldn't happen."

"It depends on the probability. After all, sometimes it's not in there."

"Do you want to have children?"

"Let nature take its course."

"I want it. You've raised a child before, so you'll definitely be a good father."

"When I adopted my daughter, she was already 8 years old."

"What's the difference? They're all kids."

"Yao, I won't stay in the company anymore."

"..."

"I plan to wait until I finish what I need to do and then bring them all back to the Snow Country. Originally I thought I had to finish everything first, but now I think I can bring them back once I've done enough. Even if I can't settle down in the Snow Country for a long time, it's necessary to have a stable residence that I can come to at any time."

"Is today confession day? So much for that."

She looked at the ceiling in the dim light. "Then we definitely can't live here. We have to buy a spacious house. Two floors would be best. The kids can live upstairs and we can live downstairs. Two floors might not be enough. We need three, right?"

"Do they prefer wider or narrower?"

"Which one do you like?"

"Like this one. Not too narrow, but just right."

"..."

"I will be a little jealous. But I am a good woman. We can become sisters after getting along for a long time, right? Sister Xia Ye is easy to get along with, so Xue Er shouldn't be difficult to get along with either, right?"

"She is very simple."

"When are you coming to the Snow Country? If I need to pick her up, should I go with her? Or should I just wait at home?"

"..."

"Where will she live then? Will she live next door? If we sleep in the same bed right away... I might not be able to adapt."

"Yao."

"what?"

"How about I make you cry today for the first time in a long time?"

"No."

"..."

Su Ming didn't know how much grievance she had endured. All he could do was to accompany her.

The truth is there, the foundation is there, and any modification is unnecessary.

4 month 20 day.

early.

"Bring Yaoyao with you to Kyoto."

"There are some important guests tonight, let me take you to meet them."

"..."

My father-in-law called.

At the same time, Miao Xueer also called.

"They said we were going to Kyoto in the Snow Country. We're coming today."

"There are more than 20 people following me. How am I going to get out? Find a way for me."

It was unrealistic for her to sneak out on the first day. At least she had to meet the important person she was talking to.

So, is there a possibility?

Is the guest my father-in-law mentioned related to one of the companies that Miao Xueer and her team are going to visit?

"Don't you want to see her?"

"Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow won't be too late."

"Hurry up, I've stuffed my dress into my suitcase. The girl called me and said she wants to see you, so why don't you go?"

"..."

"For me, if I say I want to see you...I definitely want to see you right away. It's the same for everyone."

4 month 20 day.

Night.

After landing at Kyoto Airport, An's father arranged for someone to pick him up. We didn't go to the family home, but to a very luxurious hotel.

You can see that my father-in-law is very attentive.

The dishes served were all specialties from various regions of the Snow Country. In front of Su Ming was a plate of Jude roasted whole duck.

Because I want to meet an important person.

So An Shiyao changed into a dark blue formal dress that Su Ming had never seen before. Her hair was no longer simply draped or tied into a ponytail as usual. She also slightly touched up her eyeliner.

"Will you be a little jealous?"

An Shiyao blinked and asked suddenly.

"Why am I jealous?"

"I rarely dress up like this."

"I only dress up carefully when I'm with strangers, and I'm at my shabbiest when I'm with my family."

"How have I ever been sloppy?"

"When I caught a cold before, I sneezed and spit out snot."

"I don't know what you're talking about~"

"Drool dripping into the pot?"

"Ah! That's all because... Shut up, don't say any more!"

Business as usual.

Not long after, someone came outside the private room.

Blond hair and blue eyes, it's impossible for him to be from the Snow Country. "Mr. Plato?"

She is the maid beside Miao Xueer.

It's really them.

This is the first time I see her wearing an OL professional suit. Her figure is really amazing.

"Is the subject of this interview your company?"

The maid was a little dazed.

"No."

How to describe it?
"To be specific, it is my family's property."

"Oh, I see."

The maid glanced at An Shiyao who was sitting next to Su Ming and greeted him first, "Thank you for taking the time to come and receive us with Mr. Plato. This is our greatest honor."

"Honored? That's too much. You must have worked hard to come all the way to the Snow Country."

An Shiyao responded naturally with a smile on her face.

"..."

The maid was Miu Xueer's personal attendant, so although she was not told directly, she knew more or less about it.

She now has a question.

The leader of the company being visited is An, so the presence of the woman in front of you... means that the leader of this company is her relative.

So when Princess Eliza comes here, does it count as meeting a relative?
Avoid business interviews with relatives.

Never mind. There is no need to remind you.

After all, she is Her Highness Eliza, after all, she is Mr. Plato.

"..."

Many people came in later. They were all unfamiliar faces. At least Su Ming had never seen them in Windsor Castle.

Miao Xueer was the last one to come in, and she walked and talked with several Eagle people and her father-in-law.

"In ancient times, only the emperor of the Snow Country dared to use a five-clawed weapon like this."

"..."

The father-in-law worked as a waiter and introduced culture to them.

How to tell who is Mu Xueer?
Not to mention that An Shiyao had already seen the photos, just the snow-white hair of Miao Xueer and her appearance were completely different from those of the people around her. It was obvious at a glance.

"..."

Under the table.

Su Ming could feel An Shiyao unconsciously holding his hand, but when Miao Xueer actually came in, she suddenly let go.

"Plato?"

Miao Xueer was stunned when she first came in.

She had never heard that Su Ming was among the people she was going to meet tonight.

I haven't heard of that big-breasted woman either.

"Your Highness Eliza, welcome to the Snow Country."

The opposite of An Shiyao.

Su Ming often saw Miao Xueer wearing a dress, but today she was wearing a business suit like a maid. Not to mention, the OL group had a different kind of charm on her.

"Ok?"

Father An was stunned for a long time before he reacted, "Su Ming, do you know Her Highness Eliza?"

"..."

Not just Dad An.

The other members of the delegation were also a little confused. If Eliza knew someone from the other company, how could she lower the price of the transaction?

"Plato and I are friends. According to convention, I may have to avoid future business negotiations."

Before Su Ming could reply, Miao Xueer spoke first.

Then he sat down confidently, looking back and forth between An Shiyao and Su Ming.

"She is your wife?"

"..."

Su Ming could feel it.

It was probably because she had called An Shiyao by her name last time, so this time when they met she chose not to reveal her identity to herself.

But Su Ming actually didn't plan to say it in front of his father-in-law.

"Not yet, she's just my fiancée."

An Shiyao smiled gently, "I often hear Mr. Su Ming mention you. You are much more beautiful than in the photos."

"photo?"

Miao Xueer was a beat late before she realized what photo An Shiyao was talking about. She almost couldn't help but start to scold.

Although she scolded herself for being infertile last time.

Although she was now deliberately bringing up the photos, Plato secretly showed her the photos that he had taken despite his shame.

But as a royal family, one must have a broad mind. Just because Plato didn't want to let himself be wronged last time... I endured it.

"Since Her Highness Eliza and Su Ming are friends."

"Then I should do my best to be a good host. I will first offer a toast to all of you who have come from afar. The host should follow the guests' wishes, and you can do as you please."

My father-in-law was the first to come to his senses.

He controlled his expression very well and picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

4 month 20 day.

late at night.

The party broke up.

The visiting group checked into the arranged hotel.

"Su Ming, how do you know Her Highness Eliza?"

My father-in-law came to ask after there was no one around.

"I traveled to Eagle Country some time ago. We became friends by chance."

"by chance?"

The father-in-law stared at Su Ming for a while, "Not everyone walking down the street can easily meet a royal family member."

"..."

"Does Yaoyao know about these things?"

"know."

"Well, I won't ask about these. I just need you not to do anything to let Yaoyao down."

"I see."

"Since you and Her Highness Eliza are friends, I can use you to do her a favor. Just consider it as your first meeting gift."

"..."

Favor?

Perhaps, there is no need to care about favors for Miao Xueer.

If we really talk about business, it seems that no matter which party benefits, you will be the one who makes money in the end?

4 month 21 day.

early morning.

hotel room.

An Shiyao has changed her dress into an ordinary smock dress.

"Are you going to see her?"

She asked.

"If you don't go, at least give her a call, otherwise she might not be able to sleep tonight."

"Will you be like a child, unable to sleep due to anticipation?"

“The probability is very high.”

"Mr. Su Ming is so shameless in the way he manipulates women."

"Isn't it the same for you?"

"I'm not like a child who can't sleep. I will get the project into the wading stage early~"

“You’ve also started playing with abstract art?”

"Humph, those who keep company with vermilion will become red, and those who keep company with ink will become black."

"..."

Meeting Miao Xueer in front of his father-in-law was nothing to Su Ming. He knew very well that both An Shiyao and Miao Xueer were good women and they would never deliberately embarrass him.

What's more, they both knew each other's existence and all they needed was a chance to meet.

"..."

The problem now is to drive the car left by my father-in-law and go to the address sent by Miao Xueer with An Shiyao.

Although An Shiyao didn't say anything, it didn't seem like anything was wrong.

However, there is a certain inexplicable uneasiness.

"Would it be better if I stayed in a hotel?"

"Can you sleep?"

“…I can’t sleep.”

"Can you show me how to get the project into the wading stage later?"

"I do not understand!"

"We'll have to check later to see if the weeds around the tunnel have been cleared."

"I want to get off."

"late."

Now that things have come to this, we might as well do it in one go.

What else is there to drag on?

Only after this matter is resolved can we truly build a home in the Snow Country. This is one of the most important foundations for the rest of our lives.

4 month 21 day.

early morning.

We arrived at the parking lot of the five-star hotel where Miao Xueer and her friends were staying.

"Wait a minute, don't get out of the car yet."

"?"

"I...have a little low self-esteem."

"self-abasement?"

"It's just...she's so beautiful. I look like an ugly duckling in comparison."

"Didn't the ugly duckling turn into a white swan in the end?"

"I didn't deny that I was an ugly duckling..."

"..."

"Just a kiss. Just for a moment."

"..."

Su Ming really couldn't understand why she felt inferior. Judging from her appearance, she didn't think An Shiyao was any worse than him, or maybe she and Miao Xue'er were not on the same track at all. They each had their own merits.

This moment will be a bit long.

It's not just a light taste, it blends perfectly with your lips and teeth.

There's no need to continue just kissing, right?

"otherwise……"

"Let's do it once in the car. If I feel extremely ashamed now, I won't feel ashamed later."

"What kind of stupid logic is that?"

"You're lying. If I shiver here... I'm sure I'll be noticed. But it seems like it's not enough for a while. I still feel... very inferior."

"..."

"Buzz."

There is a message coming from the mobile phone placed on the car holder clamped on the air-conditioning outlet.

【Not here yet? 】

[I'm in the parking lot. I slipped out early.]

"She's nearby? She's really looking forward to it like a little kid."

"Suck~"

"..."

"husband?"

"This way, it won't be me who's ashamed. The same goes for you. It's fair."

Naive.

They are all my wives, so what if I just stand there?

Having walked on thin ice for so long, I have long forgotten what face is.

4 month 21 day.

It's past one in the morning.

"Hey!"

"W-what did you do?! The mark on your face... lipstick?!"

"Holding so tightly... it's extremely obscene!"

I saw Miao Xueer standing in the cold wind. She was still wearing the same OL dress and black stockings that she wore when we met last time.

"I'm holding my arm because it's a bit cold."

An Shiyao didn't have the "inferiority complex" that she just mentioned. Instead, she responded in a relaxed manner, "As for kissing, didn't Sister Xue'er do it with Mr. Plato?"

"you……"

Miao Xueer was so angry that she couldn't speak.

And sister?
Who is her sister? How old is she?!

"Okay, can I hold your arm? Let's talk and forget about Mr. Plato."

"?"

Miao Xueer was holding An Shiyao's arm, and her whole body was covered with goosebumps.

What is going on with this woman?

Do you know who you are?
Did you know that I was thinking of sending her to see what the guillotine looked like?
Judging from the way Plato treated her, shouldn’t she be a very troublesome woman?... Why does she act more magnanimous than me?

Su Ming was also a little surprised. An Shiyao, who had just said she was inferior, suddenly became so comfortable with herself.

good thing?

Or is there something wrong?
"Sister Xue'er has such great hair."

"Don't touch me."

"Hands are soft too..."

"How can you be more vulgar than Plato?!"

"I think even the most serious person will become indecent if you spend too much time with him."

"That's right... No, you're still touching me?!"

"..."

But, seeing her bright smile.

But I also felt that it was possible that An Shiyao was simply showing courage.

"You haven't seen Mr. Plato for so long. You must have missed him, right?"

"Nonsense, I-I just came by and stopped by to wait!"

"Then I'll just take a walk and take Mr. Plato home."

"..."

"Your expression suddenly turned depressed. No, Mr. Plato came here specially to see you today."

"..."

"Huh? Your expression suddenly brightened up."

"Plato, is there something wrong with this woman?!"

Miao Xueer couldn't stand it anymore, so she broke away from An Shiyao's hand and ran to Su Ming's side. She was wary of An Shiyao like a kitten with its fur standing on end.

"She might... just want to have a good relationship with you a little too much."

Su Ming touched his cheek.

"Yes, we will be sisters from now on."

An Shiyao also followed her husband's lead and blinked her eyes.

"Who is your sister?!"

"so cute……"

Looking at Miao Xueer.

An Shiyao thought she was very beautiful from the bottom of her heart.

Very understandable personality.

Be it jealousy, envy, love, or happiness...it's all written on her face.

Compared to him…it’s not surprising that a woman like me with a complicated mind and prone to illness would feel inferior.

It's not just about her status and appearance, it's about the mentality of envying her.

If I want to get along with her, I should be able to get along with her quickly. If I am with her, she may be more ashamed than me.

Is it possible to do it?

You won’t know until you try it.

If all problems can be solved with 'as long as there is love', then there will be no problem.
