Xia Qingyuan said thoughtfully: "When my clothing store opens, how about you come and stand there?"
Hearing this, Shen Yizhou turned towards the bowl and chopsticks and raised his eyebrows lightly: "Seriously?"
Xia Qingyuan nodded: "Of course."
Shen Yizhou immediately responded: "Okay, I promise you."
He paused: "I'm just a little curious. Didn't you want others to know that you were Mrs. Shen in the past?"
Xia Qingyuan smiled: "That was in Dian City, but this is Yuncheng.
How can it be done without your care?"
She now finally realized that the business she had done in Diancheng before was nothing more than a small business.
As the saying goes, there are people outside the world and there are mountains outside the mountains. What she has done in the past six months or so is not worth mentioning compared to many people.
If she wants to gain a foothold in Yuncheng, she must have enough capital.
If she doesn't have the power, just create enough money.
Money can make all the difference. One day, she will have the right to choose, instead of looking forward and backward everywhere.
Instead of waiting for her to slowly develop her own brand, she might as well take advantage of Shen Yizhou's leadership to expand her reputation.
After all, he is his man, so if he doesn’t use it, it will be in vain.

After dinner, Xia Qingyuan prepared things temporarily before going back to her room to sleep.
As soon as she rolled onto the bed warmed by Shen Yizhou, Xia Qingyuan moaned comfortably.
Shen Yizhou was leaning on the bed reading a book. He glanced down at her, closed the book and put it aside.
Xia Qingyuan: "What's wrong?"
Shen Yizhou propped up an arm and supported his head, lying on his side and looking at her: "Why don't you explain the soup tonight?"
Xia Qingyuan knew that he had misunderstood.
She stretched out her hand and grabbed his chest and twisted it: "You are such a busy person, what are you thinking about all day long?"
She sat up and said, "If that's what I meant, why would I serve it to the whole family?"
As he said that, he glanced down at Shen Yizhou's body with disgust: "Besides, do you need it?"
After saying that, he pulled the quilt, rolled himself into a ball, wrapped himself tightly, and turned to the bed: "Sleep, sleep."
Shen Yizhou looked at the empty quilt on his body: "..."
He reached out and poked Xia Qingyuan: "Daughter-in-law, I don't have a quilt anymore."
The tone was low and somewhat pitiful.
Xia Qingyuan didn't look back. She got out of the bed and took a quilt from the side and threw it to him: "Take this cover."
Shen Yizhou's expression remained unchanged: "I want to make a bed with you."
Xia Qingyuan shook her head firmly: "You can build your own.
Anyway, I want to have a good rest tonight and prepare to fight tomorrow."
Shen Yizhou stroked his forehead: "Do you think that is the dragon's pond and the tiger's den?"
Xia Qingyuan: "It's more terrifying than the dragon's pond and the tiger's den."
Shen Yizhou hugged Xia Qingyuan under the quilt: "You have so little confidence in me?"
Xia Qingyuan continued to shake her head: "You don't understand, this is about a woman's self-esteem."
After saying that, she rolled out of his arms: "Go to bed early, you have to get up early tomorrow, be good."
Shen Yizhou originally just wanted to tease Xia Qingyuan.
Seeing her like this, he stopped making trouble.
He picked up the quilt she gave him, opened it, and got in too.
He looked at Xia Qingyuan's peaceful face and couldn't help but stretched out his hand to caress her, saying softly: "Good night."

Early the next morning, Xia Qingyuan and his wife set off with Shen Yilin.
As for yesterday's announcement that Aunt Wu would bring someone over, the time was changed to the afternoon of that day.
The location is in the suburbs, about an hour's drive from the compound.
Shen Yizhou drove the car himself without asking his family's driver to follow him.
Xia Qingyuan and Shen Yilin were sitting in the back row, chatting from time to time.
After coming to Yuncheng, it was the first time for Shen Yilin to travel so far away, and it was also the first time to attend such a gathering.
He was still a little nervous at first, but Lin Dongxiu asked him: "Why don't you just stay at home with mom today?"
At that moment, he became determined: "Mom, I want to go with my elder brother and sister-in-law."
If his mother can't stand up, he and his brother can stand up.
Mom and sister-in-law, they have to protect me.
Moreover, my sister-in-law said that such occasions are actually another way of socializing, which he will always have to experience.
On the way there, Shen Yizhou told Xia Qingyuan about the people who would be arriving today: "
Qi Yuanshan likes fishing, and every once in a while, he will invite some people to go fishing in the countryside.
In addition to the Xie family and Qin family mentioned yesterday, the Chu family and Ling family were also invited.
It's just that Ling Ye is on a mission, so he should send other juniors from the family there.
As for people from other families, just follow me and say hello when the time comes, and ignore others."
Xia Qingyuan nodded, with a faint smile on her lips: "I understand."
She had a good rest last night and she felt refreshed.
After that, she patted Shen Yilin beside her: "When you get there, just have fun and have fun, you know?"
Shen Yilin was immediately overjoyed: "I know, sister-in-law."
The car drove some distance out of the city center and reached a gravel road. The road was uneven and had many twists and turns, making Xia Qingyuan almost spit out her breakfast.
After finally arriving, Xia Qingyuan found that she was by a lake, surrounded by wide grassland, with several cows grazing, and there were villages in the distance.
When they arrived, some people were already there. Cloths and blankets were spread on the grass, with many things placed on them. There was a sound of men and women talking and children playing.
Xia Qingyuan led Shen Yilin out of the car and quickly attracted their attention.
The young men were Qi Jinzhi, Chu Xingyu, Xie Ziyi and Qin Shuyu, and there was a strange girl standing next to them.
About five or six older people were standing a little further away, talking with their heads down.
Xia Qingyuan glanced around and found that Xie Da was not there, and couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Qi Jinzhi was the first to discover Xia Qingyuan.
He just raised his eyelashes and took a look, nodded, and looked away.
Chu Xingyu followed Qi Jinzhi's gaze and saw Xia Qingyuan and others.
He said "Sorry." and walked towards the three of them.
Chu Xingyu nodded and smiled: "Secretary Shen, Madam, Xiao Yilin."
Following Shen Yizhou's seniority, Shen Yilin sweetly called out: "Brother Chu."
After exchanging a few words, Shen Yizhou asked Chu Xingyu to take care of Shen Yilin, and he took Xia Qingyuan to Qi Yuanshan to say hello.
Except for Pei Ying and Chen Li, everyone's attitude toward Xia Qingyuan was pretty good.
Pei Ying is suffering from the pain of losing her son, and she treats everyone the same.
Chen Li was just venting her anger.
She glanced in the direction of Shen Yilin and said with a smile: "I just saw Mrs. Shen leading a boy out of the car. I thought it was Mrs. Shen who had given birth to a son.
Later, when I thought about it, I realized that I had gone astray."
Her eyes fell on Xia Qingyuan's flat belly, her eyes naked: "I forgot, Mrs. Shen and Secretary Shen have been married for almost two years, and they haven't given birth to a child yet."
