Rong Yue’s eyes widened as she heard his reply.

Wasn’t he being too shameless?!

“You are starting to realise I’m the best man for you?” Qin Yichen added, his eyes twirling with mirth.

Just from how she treated Qin Heng, one could tell that she was the type to obsess over kids. He didn’t believe that she didn’t want her own children.

But in truth, that was also his feelings. He had never cared about kids or barely anyone. Now that he cared about her, he was unwilling to bring kids that would still her attention.

One younger brother was already enough, he couldn’t imagine having one or two more kids to fight for her attention.

“You are shameless,” Rong Yue finally said and then walked away. She couldn’t argue with him and win. It was better to save her energy and eat instead.

The both of them walked into the kitchen and started to set the table for their dinner. Despite them being just two, Rong Yue was surprised by all the meals he had made.

Had he been inside for so long or she just hadn’t noticed?

“I already made some of them while you were handling matters with the arcade centre, I only came back inside to make the dessert just now,” he explained.

Rong Yue nodded, and her lips curled upwards as he opened all the dishes they had placed on the table.

“It’s not easy to get full marks, my wife is the strongest, and this is my first gift for your results,”

Rong Yue’s brows raised up with question. She didn’t think that getting full marks was a big deal. But she couldn’t pretend and say she didn’t know it was a big deal to others. After ignoring her master’s calls, she had switched off her phone so she could eat in peace.

But he said his first gift?

“How many gifts are you planning to give me?”

“As many as possible,” he wanted to say that she could own everything he had, but he felt that Rong Yue wouldn’t like to hear that sort of thing, so he held back.

The both of them ate dinner in silence, with Qin Yichen doing more of watching her eat than actually eating himself.

Like an old couple, they cleared the dishes together before saying goodnight and going to their rooms.

*****

The next day,

Rong Yue slept in late and only woke up past 9 am Qin Yichen had some early morning meetings, and he had planned to go to the office before.

However, since Rong Yue didn’t come down, he made Lu Bo set up the meeting in his home study. He had just finished and was coming downstairs when Rong Yue stepped out of her room also.

Still sleepy, she mumbled, “Good morning.”

“Did you sleep well?”

Rong Yue was about to nod but then paused as she realised that she had indeed had a really blissful night.

As not all the core team members of the Fox Alliance were in the country, they had different time zones, and sometimes, she would get messages while she was sleeping, and if it were important, she would reply to them and go back to bed.

For the less important ones, she would leave it for the other team members to reply to and sleep immediately.

But this night, she hadn’t gotten any messages at all!

She went back inside the room and searched around for her phone. Eventually, she found it under one of her pillows.

“Just like I thought, I had left it turned off,” after the call from Grandmaster Wang because of her score, she had turned the phone off to be able to eat properly.

It was normal to feel sleepy when one was full, and she ended up not turning her phone back on.

It had passed already, and she also had a good sleep, so she didn’t beat herself up over it and went downstairs while turning it on.

If she hadn’t modified her phone, with the current gadgets in the world now, her phone might have blown up or gone off forever with the number of calls and messages that were coming in.

Rong Yue frowned subtly and then placed the phone on another chair before sitting down.

“Mother called. She was unable to reach you and got worried,” Qin Yichen reported as she unboxed the food he had ordered.

Even though he wanted to spoil his little wife, he was, after all, still the boss of a big corporation. The meetings this morning were urgent and more than one. In the end, he could only order a meal box from one of the many places that he trusted.

The wooden box had no logo and was designed into several partitions.

“I forgot to turn the phone on before sleeping. Is anything the matter?”

Qin Yichen shrugged, his mind going back to the conversation he had with her mother. Eventually, he nodded sideways, deciding to keep the matter for a while still more.

“She was only worried and didn’t say much once she knew that you were with me,”

The way he communicated with Rong Xia had changed greatly, and he suspected that she also found some comfort in having someone she didn’t have to hide from.

Her phone had finally quietened down, and Rong Yue started to look through it calmly.

As expected, there were so many messages from the Fox Alliance group. Perhaps, many people were planning to go into the mining industry. Their alliance had gained many top secrets just for the information about the price.

Red Riding Hood’s Wolf: Boss, this is the report. Some have included more than two secrets just to get us to do the processing for them.

Conquering The Heavens: Hmmm, let the men keep their eyes on mine, I already sent the amount that would be able to cover everything to you.

Talking with Yu Cui was indeed better. The both of them quickly discussed all the things that were new, and Rong Yue left the group.

As Yu Cui used to be their team leader previously, as long as she carried her along and shared ideas with her, she had no doubts that Yu Cui would carry the remaining team members along.

She also left a pinned message to tell them she was reinforcing the system’s backlog and firewall in a few minutes, and they would be logged out until she was done.

Now that they were getting more information, the information vault that they had created needed to be guarded even better.

Rong Yue’s plan was very simple, she would restrict the access to the vault to be a one-way thing. Any folder and documents sent to anyone using the Fox Alliance system will immediately be saved and deleted by the Vault’s artificial intelligence.

Like an AI, Rong Yue would need to install a grading system that she wanted to use so that the vault would then determine the level of the information passed to it.

To do that without needing any humans meant that she would need to build the system from scratch by herself.

It was, of course, not something that she planned on doing anytime soon, so she could only strengthen the firewall for now. When she had more time and resources, she would do the other one.

Also, she had to make sure that every person on the team was someone she could trust before making such a big move.

She put her phone aside and started eating. The food tasted a lot different from Qin Yichen’s cooking, but it was also really good, and she ate two portions before she dropped her chopsticks.

“Was the meal okay?” Qin Yichen asked with a little concern.

Even though she was petite, he had seen her eat three portions easily on many occasions and was worried that this time around, the food was not to her taste.

“It’s not as good as your cooking, but it’s nice and easy on the taste buds,”

“Also, I think it’s better to eat meals like this more often and keep your food for more special occasions,” Rong Yue added as an afterthought.

Even if his cooking was the best, in her opinion, she didn’t want him to spend too much time doing something like that all the time.

Qin Yichen could also read her thoughts easily from her expression and nodded.

“We can ask a chef to come here and handle the cooking for most days.”

“Do you have anywhere to go to?”

Rong Yue shook her head. For now, she didn’t have to handle anything physically. Lu San was handling a lot of the running around, and she had to just focus on the part that needed her brain.

She planned to split her time between Infinity and The Fox Alliance today. After all, in a month’s time, she wouldn’t have as much time with the school also resuming.

Just in time, Qin Yichen spoke up, “The final results and ranking have been uploaded.”
