156 It’s All Up To You
Yao Zizhou stretched out his hand and carried Ming Liuyi to sit on his lap. He said, “There are so many people in the Yao family, and many of them are capable of managing these matters. If you want to manage them, then of course it’s up to you.
“If you don’t want to, then just be Ming Liuyi. Your happiness and freedom are more important to me.”
Ming Liuyi was touched by Yao Zizhou’s sincere words, and her eyes turned red.
In her past life, Ming Liuyi had been pampered, but that pampering was completely different from Yao Zizhou’s. Ming Liuyi felt that she was in a very comfortable and intimate relationship, and this experience was both refreshing and sweet to her.
Yao Zizhou’s love was not as simple as possession. Being by Yao Zizhou’s side, Ming Liuyi could always be an individual, not just Madam Yao, and definitely not Yao Zizhou’s accessory. This made her feel that she was respected and loved.
At the same time, Ming Liuyi could feel that she was needed, like she was irreplaceable. This feeling was too blissful.
“Alright, I know you can’t do without me,” Ming Liuyi said.
She also made up her mind: When she was ready, she would tell Yao Zizhou her secret bit by bit.
Ming Liuyi continued, “I will study hard. Of course, it’s not just for you. It’s also for myself. Before you woke up, I was already learning English. I wanted to apply to a foreign school.”
This made Yao Zizhou speechless, and he suddenly remembered the reason why he woke up from his anger.
“Do you still want to go abroad now?” he asked.
“You don’t want me to go?” Ming Liuyi replied in surprise.
“…We’ll talk about it later!” Yao Zizhou said casually.
“If you need it,” Ming Liuyi said, “I can help you with the family matters, but I will definitely continue my career.”
“Of course, and I’ll support you,” Yao Zizhou said.
Ming Liuyi smiled. “The praise club can’t be limited to this place in the future. I’m going to try to develop it all over the country.” After all, as a deity, Ming Liuyi wanted to bring luck and happiness to everyone.
Yao Zizhou had just made a lot of promises, and although he did not want to be separated from Ming Liuyi, he had to keep his words. He gritted his teeth and said, “Of course, I’ll support it.”
Ming Liuyi smiled and said, “Oh no, it seems like you’ve successfully won me over…”
Yao Zizhou said, “I’ll have to trouble you for the time being. No matter what the outside world says, I won’t bother explaining. My father wants to separate us. If I reveal a bit of this to the outside world, you’ll be much safer in the fight for the Yao family’s power. If there really comes a day when the situation forces us to spread fake news about having marriage issues, we can discuss it in advance.”
Ming Liuyi nodded and said, “Let’s use a secret code. Before you say it, you could add a few words, and I’ll immediately know that you’re lying. How about it?”
Yao Zizhou nodded. “That’s a good idea, do you have any good phrases?”
Ming Liuyi thought for a moment and said, “There’s a popular phrase on the internet that starts like this, ‘Dear fam, blah blah blah.’ What do you think?”
“…Dear, it’s better if you stay away from the internet.”
In Ming Liuyi’s mind, she had already imagined Yao Zizhou coldly standing on the stage, opening his mouth and saying, “Dear fam, I’m going to announce an important piece of news.”
Ming Liuyi suddenly wanted to laugh! She felt that it was a pity for Yao Zizhou to reject her suggested phrase! Ming Liuyi had more than a hundred of such crude secret codes in her mind!
Yao Zizhou was afraid that Ming Liuyi would say something terrifying, so he quickly said, “I’ll use a simpler one. Every time I say ‘okay,’ it means I’m lying.”
“Boring!” Ming Liuyi said disdainfully.
“Dear, would you like to practice now?” Yao Zizhou asked after some thought.
“Okay, I won’t be jealous at all if you don’t give me the fruit purée you made for others.”
Ming Liuyi said, “…Wait a minute, you’re jealous of mashed fruit? The people I give the purée to are still in a vegetative state, so don’t look at this matter from a regular standpoint.”
“Then I should still be the one to eat first, and I’ll bring it to the office as my dessert,” Yao Zizhou said.
Ming Liuyi was speechless.
“Alright!” she said. “No problem, you’ll definitely eat it first from now on, and I’ll even prepare another set for you to take with you to work.”
“Okay, I won’t have to think of you at all during my meetings,” said Yao Zizhou.
Ming Liuyi lightly kissed Yao Zizhou, and said, “You’re an independent boss now, so work hard.”
