“By the way, I’ve one more thing to thank you for.”

Zhan Qi seemed to suddenly recall something, and his eyes sparkled at the thought.

“What is it?”

“Because of your friendship with Princess Elisa, our company’s overseas market has recently expanded to the Apu Kingdom and its surrounding areas. Various partners have also agreed to sign cooperation agreements once they heard about you.”

“Really? That’s great! I’m so happy that I can help you in this way.”

“We’re husband and wife, but I’ve only realized this now. Forgive me for taking so long.”

With that, Zhan Qi pulled her hand towards him and brushed his lips against her palm. As he kissed her hand, he looked up and gazed at her.

His gaze was fiery. She could not help but turn red from his intense gaze, and shyly avoided his gaze.

After the two enjoyed dinner, they couldn’t keep their hands off each other. Unlike the previous times when their had sex, tonight felt special for the two of them. Rather than just having sex, it was a spiritual exchange — they were making love.

Contrary to how he would usually tease her, he was especially patient tonight as he guided her towards climax bit by bit.

From now on, they were truly husband and wife, both physically and mentally.

Afterward, the two collapsed onto the bed. Zhan Qi rolled over to envelop his wife in a tight embrace. As he did so, his hot breath hit her bare skin, making her shudder uncontrollably.

“The other members of the Zhan Family have already found out about the overseas market expansion. So, I quickly attracted the clients into my company directly before the others could take advantage of this opportunity.”

“Wait, isn’t the expansion of the Zhan family’s head office beneficial to everyone? Why are they all competing for clients?”

Zhan Qi sneered when he heard this, “It doesn’t matter how big the head office is, it’s still not their own. People like them will only be satisfied if the money falls into their own hands.” He stopped momentarily to stroke her hair. “Qing, you have to be careful in the future. Don’t let them use your name to damage your reputation.”

“Okay, I understand.”

“Oh, I almost forgot. Dad said that he wants to hold a banquet at home to thank us properly for the company’s market expansion. It’ll be held tomorrow at noon.”

Fu Qing felt discontent in her heart, but she remained silent. She really didn’t like these fake social events. From her silence, Zhan Qi knew that she was not looking forward to it.

“If you don’t want to go, you don’t have to.”

Zhan Qi himself also detested this kind of fake kinship, but he needed to go there to find out what Zhan Leng and Zhan Cheng were up to.

Fu Qing held his hand and looked into his eyes firmly. “No, I’ll go with you.”

Although she detested it, she knew that she couldn’t let her husband go alone. Perhaps she could help do something so that he wouldn’t have to work too hard. To this, Zhan Qi held his wife even tighter as he murmured a soft ‘Thank you’ into her ear.

The next morning, Zhan Qi brought Fu Qing back to the Zhan Family.

“Qi, you are back! Come now, sit down quickly. Oh dear, you’ve lost so much weight since the last time I’ve seen you. What’s happened?” Zhan Qi’s father, Zhan Yuv, came up to him and asked lovingly.

Zhan Qi turned his head slightly to avoid his hand from touching his face. He replied coldly, “Nothing. I’ve just been working out recently.”

Before Zhan You could respond, the sound of footsteps going down the stairs could be heard, followed by a gasp.

“Ah, third sister-in-law is here.”

Fu Qing raised her head to meet the gaze of the person coming down the stairs. It was Li Ying.

Li Ying was clearly dressed to impress. Her long hair was curled, and she donned an expensive-looking qipao. Her face was adorned with heavy makeup. At first glance, she looked like a high-profile celebrity who was about to go to a party.

Fu Qing smiled politely at her and called out, “Hello, second sister-in-law.”

Li Ying then walked over and held Fu Qing’s hand.

“I haven’t seen you in so long, I’ve missed you so much! Mother also misses you, and she talks about you every day. She says that although you usually look quiet and demure, you’ve been helping the Zhan family with the business. It’s really surprising!”

“Mother?”

Fu Qing was momentarily stunned at the unexpected mention of their mother. After a moment, she finally recalled that she had seen their mother the last time she visited the family.

To be more accurate, it was Zhan Cheng’s mother.

The current Madam Zhan, Zhang Xue, was Zhan Yuv’s second wife. His first wife had passed away when Zhan Leng was three years old. Once Zhang Xue was married into the family, she brought her son, Zhang Cheng, with her.

On the other hand, Zhan Qi was an illegitimate son who had been brought into the family when he was only a year old. No one knew who his birth mother was, and his illegitimacy made the Zhan family shun him for many years..
