Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“I’m serious!” Tang Moxi stared at Liuli and replied calmly. “1 won’t do it. 1 still have to study!” Liuli came back to her senses and protested excitedly. “Uncle, you can’t go back on your word. You said before that after we get married, 1 can still go back to school to continue studying!”

“I didn’t say that you can’t go back to school to continue your studies, but since your agreement requires a two-year marriage period, 1 only have this request.”

Or can you cancel this deadline first?” Tang Moxi said calmly.

“But you said before that if 1 don’t want to continue living with you, we can get a divorce!”

“That’s what I said, but there’s a prerequisite. It’s to wait until Grandpa passes away.”

“Although Grandpa’s health isn’t good now, it doesn’t mean that he only has two years. He might live for another twenty years!”

“Huh?” Liu Li immediately looked at Tang Moxi in shock.

It was as if she didn’t understand what Mr. Tang was saying.

“Or do you want Grandpa to leave early?” Tang Moxi leaned closer to Liuli and asked.

Liuli quickly shook her head.

“Of course I want Grandpa to live a long life!”

“Isn’t that so? If you set a two-year deadline, isn’t that equivalent to indirectly cursing Grandpa to not live past two years?!”

“I don’t mean that! Then I’ll remove this two-year deadline. Sign the divorce agreement first. The date is empty!”

“Yes!” Tang Moxi replied.

“Any other questions?”

“Not at the moment. I’ll tell you when 1 think of something!”

“Huh? Can’t 1 sign it now?”

“Baby, we have a long time ahead of us. There’s no hurry.”

“Perhaps you’ll think of something new tomorrow and want to add it.”

If you sign it now, you won’t have a chance tomorrow!”

Liuli looked at Tang Moxi hesitantly and felt that what Mr. Tang said made sense!

What a dilemma!

What should she do?

“It’s late. Go to sleep. You can think about it tomorrow!” After saying that, Tang Moxi got up and walked towards the bed.

Liuli had no choice but to put down the agreement and walk to the bed.

After taking a few steps, she thought that she should go to the washroom first.

Hence, she turned around and walked towards the bathroom.

After going to the washroom and washing her hands, Liuli muttered as she walked.

“Brother Moxi, if I don’t want to add anything else tomorrow, can we sign it?”

“Okay, we’ll talk tomorrow!” Tang Moxi replied. “Do you want to sleep inside or outside?”

“Inside!” Liuli replied. Then, she climbed onto the bed and crawled inside.

Then, she lay down obediently and covered herself with the blanket.

He felt that something was wrong, but he could not say it for a moment.

Liuli only reacted when the lights were turned off and Tang Moxi lay down on the empty seat beside her.

Why was she on the same bed as Mr. Tang?

“Brother Moxi, are you going to sleep here tonight too?” Liuli asked after a while.

“Where else do you want me to sleep?” Tang Moxi asked.

Liuli just said that he could sleep on the sofa!

Then she thought of how cruel it was to let a tall man like Mr. Tang sleep on that pair of sofas!

She was too embarrassed to say it out loud.

No, why don’t Brother Moxi sleep on the bed? I’ll sleep on the sofa!” Liuli wanted to get up after saying that.

“Stop messing around. I won’t do anything to you unless you’re willing!” Tang Moxi blocked Liuli with one hand.

Uh…” Liuli was stunned for a moment before muttering, “I’m not willing!”

“Yes, 1 won’t be beggars can’t be choosers either!” Tang Moxi replied.

Liuli didn’t react at first, but after a few seconds, she turned around and glared at Mr. Tang. Actually, it was pitch-black and she couldn’t see anything.

She was basically glaring at the air!

Liuli was silent for a while before she couldn’t help but say,

“Brother Moxi, although we’re married, we seem to be completely the same as an ordinary couple. To be honest, I want to prioritize my studies now. I don’t want to get involved in our married life so early!

‘So it doesn’t seem right for the two of us to sleep together!’

“Brother Moxi, what do you think?”

For a long time, there was no response.

Liuli turned around. Because she had adapted to the darkness, she could see Mr. Tang’s silhouette through the little light outside the window.

However, Mr. Tang seemed to have fallen asleep.

Liuli immediately became dispirited!

Sigh, after talking for so long, the man didn’t hear her at all!

Liuli was a little depressed and angry. In the end, she could only do this.

She couldn’t wake Mr. Tang up and let him sleep after listening to her.

Besides, Mr. Tang had drunk too much today, so it was better not to disturb his rest.

Let’s just make do with it for the night. After all, it wasn’t like they hadn’t slept together before.

After Liuli comforted herself, she gradually relaxed and fell asleep not long after.

Liuli was in a deep sleep. She even looked like she would sleep until the end of time.

Moreover, she had a beautiful dream that the senior she liked was back.

He said that he would elope with her!

Hence, she laughed excitedly and woke up.

When she opened her eyes, she was still looking at the scene in front of her in a daze.

Seeing that she seemed to be lying on someone’s body, Liuli slowly raised her head. The next second, she met Mr. Tang’s helpless gaze and realized that she wasn’t lying on someone else’s body, but Mr. Tang’s.

The next second, she lowered her head to take a look before reacting.

She screamed and flipped down from Tang Moxi’s body excitedly. In the end, she flipped to the wrong side.

She almost rolled off the bed.

If not for Tang Moxi’s quick reflexes, he would have picked her up and flipped her over.

Liuli was probably rolling under the bed right now!

Liuli heaved a sigh of relief!

She looked up and met Mr. Tang’s gaze.

Tang Moxi did not move. He placed his hands on both sides of Liuli’s body and looked at her quietly. His gaze was even deeper than usual.

Liuli’s face slowly turned red. She turned her face away and avoided Tang Moxi’s gaze.

“Hehe, that was just an accident! Thank you, Brother Moxi!”

“Shouldn’t you say something to express your gratitude? Don’t always say it verbally!”

“Huh?” Liuli turned to look at Tang Moxi in confusion.

Just as Liuli’s thoughts gradually blurred and she was a little confused,

Tang Moxi had already let go of her. He turned around and got off the bed.

Liuli felt her body become lighter and colder. Before she realized what had happened, Mr. Tang had already disappeared.

Then, she recalled what had just happened.

Her face burned again.

She was so embarrassed that she hid under the blanket and covered her face.

Ah! how embarrassing!

Just as Liuli was still vexed about her actions just now, she felt someone pulling the blanket over her head.

“Stop pulling!” Liuli couldn’t help but protest.

“If you don’t get up, we’ll be late.”

“Late?” Liuli crawled out of bed and asked in confusion.

“It’s almost eight o’clock.”

“Grandpa is already waiting for us to eat.”

“If only we’d been a little later.”

“Putting aside whether Grandpa would be hungry.”

“Let’s just say that we sleep until now.”

“Wouldn’t it make people’s imagination run wild?” Tang Moxi asked Liuli with a low smile.

“Huh? Then I’d better get up!” After saying that, Liuli quickly lifted the blanket, got out of bed, and ran towards the bathroom.

She brushed her teeth, washed her face, and changed her clothes as quickly as possible.

She walked out of the changing room.

Tang Moxi looked at Liuli’s attire and could not help but touch his nose.

Why did he not feel anything before? After marrying Liuli, he felt that she was getting younger and younger!

That feeling was really a little like poisoning the flowers of their country!

“Brother Moxi, stop daydreaming. Let’s go quickly. Grandpa is waiting for us!” Liuli urged as she pulled Tang Moxi towards the door.

Tang Moxi followed Liuli out, but his mood inexplicably improved.

Although she was still young, he had enough patience, right?

So it didn’t matter. He could take it slow!

When the two of them arrived at the main house, everyone was indeed present. They were just waiting for the two of them.

Recalling what Mr. Tang had just said, Liuli blushed.

It was clearly nothing, but she had thought wrongly first.

Hence, her flushed face made people feel that she was more like a bride!

Tang Sheng was in a good mood.

They had been chatting and laughing the entire morning. Compared to yesterday morning, they were completely different!

Seeing that Grandpa Tang was happy, Liuli’s mood also improved.

Hence, laughter came from time to time in the dining room of the Tang Family’s main house. It was harmonious.

After breakfast, Liuli held Tang Moxi’s hand and the two of them walked out of the main house.

Liuli held Tang Moxi’s hand with both of hers and followed behind him.

She lowered her head and stepped on the rocks, carefully avoiding the seams.

She was entertaining herself!

Tang Moxi did not stop her and let her play as long as she was happy.

“Brother Moxi, what plans do we have today?”

Liuli looked up and asked.

I’m working overtime. Help me translate the documents!” Tang Moxi replied.

“Huh? Translate what?” Liuli was stunned.

“Forget it. Help me translate some emails.” Tang Moxi compromised.

“Is the ancient language translated into modern language?” Liuli asked with a smile.

“There are English, French, German, and Spanish. Pick one!” Tang Moxi replied casually.

Uncle, my English is 59 points!” Liuli couldn’t help but emphasize, even though she felt very embarrassed about it.

“It’s good that you know. From today onwards, 1’11 tutor you.”

“I’ll have two emails translated today,” Tang Moxi replied as he glanced at her.

“Just two? Alright!” Liuli replied with a smile.

It was just two emails. At the very least, she could use online software. What was there to be afraid of?

However, when Liuli received the two emails from Tang Moxi, she was completely dumbfounded.

That was just two E-mails?

Why were there more words than all her emails combined?!

“Brother Moxi, 1 only need to translate the text, right?” Liuli turned to look at Tang Moxi and asked carefully.

“Don’t leave the attachments!” Tang Moxi replied.

Liuli immediately became dispirited!

She could just give up the thought of going out for fun today!

Liuli was sitting on the sofa in Tang Moxi’s study, holding a laptop.

She could do nothing but translate the E-mails.

She downloaded the attachment and translated the text first because the text was relatively short.

Compared to the attachment, the text wasn’t that long. Liuli felt that she should be laughing secretly about it.

The email was sent to Tang Moxi by Tang Moxi’s secretary. 𝙛𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝓬𝓸𝓶

Liuli immediately became nervous. Was she reading a business secret that she shouldn’t have?

If the business secret were to be leaked, wouldn’t she be the primary suspect?

Shouldn’t she advise Tang Moxi not to put so much pressure and burden on her?

Instead, he could simply send her two greeting emails!

At that moment, Liuli couldn’t help but turn her gaze towards Mr. Tang.

He responded with a sycophantic smile.

“Brother Moxi, did you forward the work email to me?”

“I can handle translating such emails,” she added.

“But this is Brother Moxi’s work content. Isn’t it inappropriate to forward it to me like this?”

“What’s the problem?” Tang Moxi looked up at her and inquired.

“What if there’s a virus in my computer or email? What if the email gets leaked?” Liuli speculated.

“Then make sure it doesn’t happen!”

“But there are certain things beyond my control!”

“You can control them!” Tang Moxi said nonchalantly.

Liuli met Tang Moxi’s gaze and felt an unexpected surge of empowerment.

Almost reflexively, Liuli nodded.

As she lowered her head and resumed translating the email, she pondered for a while.

Why did she feel compelled to nod?

Issues like a virus in her mailbox were not within her jurisdiction.

If she possessed such skills, she would be an IT expert, not a novice.

However, when she locked eyes with Mr. Tang just now, she nodded as if under a spell.

She was possessed!

Liuli glanced up at Mr. Tang once again. By now, he had immersed himself in his work, displaying a focused expression.

He was undeniably attractive!

It was no wonder people claimed that serious men were also incredibly charming!

As Liuli admired Mr. Tang’s captivating profile and concentrated demeanor, her heart skipped a beat.

She indulged in sweet, secret thoughts.

This handsome man is my husband!

Unable to contain her amusement, Liuli couldn’t help but chuckle quietly.

However, a few seconds later, she snapped back to reality.

Damn, Mr. Tang wants me to work, and here I am daydreaming about him?

In the end, Liuli had to let it go. Her previous musings had been entirely unproductive, as the issue remained unresolved.

She let out a soft sigh and resumed translating the email.

Whenever she encountered unfamiliar words, she would search online for their meanings.

However, even when she comprehended the definitions of each word, she sometimes felt uncertain about her translation.

Within the office, an assortment of data, forms, and information were compiled, offering insight to managers or supervisors regarding the ongoing operations in their shops or factories.

Later, Liuli discovered that the accurate translation of this sentence was…

Within the office, the staff compiled various data, forms, and information to keep the manager or supervisor informed about the activities in their shop or factory.

Hence, translation was not always a straightforward, literal process. Understanding the context and specific circumstances was crucial to ensure accuracy.

Before finishing the translation of an attachment, Liuli felt the urge to use the restroom.

She turned towards Mr. Tang and inquired, “Brother Moxi, can I take a five-minute break?”

“Manage your time as you see fit!” Tang Moxi responded without even glancing her way.

“Okay then!” Liuli replied, setting her notebook down. She quietly exited the study and headed to the restroom.

While washing her hands, Liuli gazed at her reflection in the mirror and smiled.

“Good luck. Maybe I’ll become an expert translator in the future! Next time, I’ll score a perfect 100 in English!”

Liuli cheered herself on.

After leaving the restroom, she returned to Mr. Tang’s study and resumed translating the emails.

As Liuli delved deeper into the translation, fully engrossed in her task…

“Have you finished translating?” Tang Moxi’s voice suddenly echoed in her ears.

Liuli turned around and faced Tang Moxi, who stood beside her. Her gaze seemed distant, as if she had momentarily lost touch with reality.

“Is something wrong?” Tang Moxi inquired again when she didn’t respond.

Oh, not yet. I haven’t even completed one translation,” Liuli regained her composure and promptly replied.

“Then let’s take a break. It’s almost lunchtime. We’ll resume in the afternoon!”

So soon? What time is it now?” Liuli asked, surprised.

It’s 11:50,” Tang Moxi responded.

“Why did time fly by so quickly? It feels like only a short while has passed,” Liuli lamented in frustration.

“Don’t worry, take your time! Let’s go eat first,” Tang Moxi suggested.

“Sure!” Liuli saved the partially translated document, closed her notebook, and set it aside, anticipating the afternoon session.

As she stood up, she stumbled.

Tang Moxi instinctively reached out and steadied her.

“No, my feet are numb,” Liuli frowned and explained.

Earlier, she had crossed her legs and rested her laptop on her lap for easier typing. Eventually, she had been sitting for too long.

Her feet had fallen asleep.

When she stood up just now, she almost lost her balance.

“Sit down!” Tang Moxi guided Liuli back to the sofa.

He then squatted down and gently massaged her leg to help restore circulation and alleviate the numbness.

Liuli observed Tang Moxi’s actions with a dreamy expression, feeling her heart warm.

Why did Mr. Tang always do things that touched her deeply?

Many male chauvinists would scorn such gestures, considering them cheap or insincere.

Yet, Mr. Tang effortlessly and naturally carried them out every time!

It made her heart flutter.

“Are you feeling better now?” Tang Moxi turned around and inquired.

“Huh? Oh, much better,” Liuli replied, regaining her presence of mind.

“Stand up and see for yourself!” Tang Moxi urged.

Liuli slowly rose to her feet and indeed felt much improved.

“I’m fine. Thank you, Brother Moxi. You’re so good to me!” Liuli beamed.

“Silly girl, if I don’t treat you well, who will?” Tang Moxi lightly tapped her head, returning her smile.

Liuli’s interest in Mr. Tang waned.

Hmph, why did he pat her head? She wasn’t a child.

Accompanying Tang Moxi out of the study, Liuli muttered silently.

“Liuli, after the Chinese New Year, 1’11 head directly to headquarters. Do you want to come with me or return to school after the winter break?” Tang Moxi asked as they walked.

“Of course I’ll return to school after the winter break,” Liuli promptly responded.

“You’ll be stuck at home during this period. Won’t you get bored?” Tang Moxi turned around and inquired.

“Can’t I stay at my own place?” Liuli gazed at Tang Moxi and posed her question.

“I can spend two days back at my house, but most of the time, I still need to stay at home.”

“We’re already married. If you continue staying at your parents’ home, others might misunderstand,” Tang Moxi replied.

“Misunderstand what?”

“They might think we’re not getting along well.”

“Uh…” Who had so much time on their hands to come up with such assumptions!

“What should I do then? I don’t want to go back to school so soon,” Liuli asked dejectedly.

“If it becomes necessary, 1’11 come back in two days,” Tang Moxi finally offered.

“Huh? But won’t that be tiring? You’ll have to take a flight every day!” Liuli muttered.

“I can’t help it,” Tang Moxi shrugged, smiling.

“In that case, I don’t think it’s necessary. You have work to do.”

“That’s alright. I’ll spend more time with Grandpa Tang!” Liuli obediently declared.

Tang Moxi looked at her with tender eyes but didn’t say anything.

The two of them made their way towards the main house.

“Grandpa, the weather is lovely today. How about going for a walk later?”

After lunch, everyone gathered in the living room, engaging in conversation.

Liuli suggested on a whim.

“Sure, where would you like to go for a walk?” Tang Sheng asked.

“Why don’t we go hiking and return before sunset? That way, it won’t be too cold!” Liuli pondered for a moment and proposed.

Is Jingxing available?” Tang Sheng turned to his grandson.

“Brother Moxi probably still has work to do. Grandpa, 1’11 accompany you for the walk.”

“Yanxi, are you free? Let’s go together!” Liuli smiled and directed her gaze towards Tang Yanxi.

Tang Yunxi had left after breakfast in the morning, so she had lunch with Grandpa Tang and Tang Yanxi.

“Alright, then the two of us will accompany Grandpa for a walk,” Tang Yanxi replied with a faint smile.

“Sure, sure!” Liuli nodded.

Then, she turned to look at Tang Moxi for instructions.

“Brother Moxi, if I can’t finish translating in the afternoon, I’ll work overtime tonight.”

“I’ll accompany Grandpa for a walk around three o’clock.”

“Sure!” Tang Moxi replied with a faint smile.

“Translate what?” Tang Yanxi asked in confusion.

“Um… ancient texts,” Liuli finally braced herself and said.

She was too embarrassed to say that Mr. Tang had taken her to tutor her for translating emails because she failed to study English well.

Moreover, she had not even finished translating a single email in the morning!

“No wonder. 1 thought it was some foreign translation. My brother knows several languages!” Tang Yanxi said with a smile.

“Yes, yes, he’s not human!” Liuli blurted out.

“What?” Tang Yanxi was stunned.

“What I mean is, Brother Moxi is so outstanding that he’s not normal!” Liuli explained with a dry smile.

That was the truth. She couldn’t even handle a foreign language.

Mr. Tang actually knew several of them!

There was no need for her to translate!

It was more appropriate to say that he was torturing her!

Hence, Tang Moxi was not human at all!

Tang Yanxi also smiled. Although she still felt that Liuli’s description was a little awkward, she agreed with Liuli. Her brother was indeed very outstanding.

Tang Sheng, on the other hand, listened to their conversation with amusement. Sometimes, he didn’t know what they were talking about, but he was happy to see them chatting happily!

After agreeing to set off to climb the mountain at 3:30 pm, Liuli and the man returned to the small building first.

She did not plan to rest at noon and went straight to the study to continue translating emails!

The study room was locked.

“Brother Moxi, help me open the door,” Liuli turned to look at Tang Moxi.

“We’ll continue after the lunch break,” Tang Moxi replied as he glanced at her.

No, 1 am leaving at 3:30, and 1 won’t have time for the lunch nap!” Liuli was anxious.

“Only by developing a good routine can you have the energy to do things well!” After saying that, Tang Moxi couldn’t help but break up with Liuli and return to the bedroom.

“Don’t blame me if I can’t finish translating at night!” Liuli protested in a low voice.

“Then go to sleep after translating!”

Um… Mr. Tang, are you an overlord?”

Although Liuli kept protesting, she was the one who fell asleep after lying on the bed.

The two of them napped for more than an hour.

Tang Moxi got up first, and Liuli almost overslept.

If not for the fact that she suddenly woke up and remembered that she still had to climb the mountain in the afternoon, she would have slept until dusk.

Seeing that it was almost 2:30 pm, Liuli heaved a sigh of relief.

She got out of bed and walked into the bathroom to wash up. After changing, she went to Mr. Tang’s study to continue translating.

There was still an hour left. She could use this hour to finish translating the first email.

At 3:15 pm, Liuli was almost done translating. She turned to Mr. Tang and said,

“Brother Moxi, I’ve finished translating an article. I’ll send it to your email first.”

“I’ll continue translating the remaining article tonight!”

“I’ll go hiking with Grandpa and Yanxi first!”

“Mm!” Tang Moxi replied.

“Good luck, Brother Moxi. I’m leaving!” Liuli turned off her laptop and placed it in her laptop bag.

“Liuli, you forgot something again!” Tang Moxi reminded her.

“Huh?” Liuli, who had just reached the door, turned to look at Tang Moxi and was about to ask what she had forgotten.

The next second, she met Mr. Tang’s gaze and realized what was going on.

She could only walk back with a red face.

Liuli didn’t come back to her senses until a long time later, because she heard Mr. Tang say in her ear,

“Liuli, if you keep looking at me like that, I’m going to continue!”

“Continue?” Liuli was stunned for a moment before she reacted. She quickly stood up and said with a flushed face, “I’m going hiking with Grandpa!”

Then, like a rabbit, she lowered her head and quickly jumped out of the study.

It was not until they went downstairs that Liuli dared to cover her burning face.

Mr. Tang was really annoying. He kissed her until she was out of breath every time and couldn’t think at all.

Liuli thought in frustration. After taking a few steps, she remembered that she had forgotten her backpack and taken her hat.

Hence, she could only return upstairs to get it.

When she arrived at the main house, Grandpa Tang and Tang Yanxi were already waiting for her.

Tang Yanxi also changed into sportswear and looked very pretty.

“Grandpa, let’s go!” Liuli said with a smile.

“Liuli, did you run over? Your face is red,” Tang Yanxi said.

“Hehe, it’s a little hot. I’ll be fine in a while,” Liuli blushed even more and replied awkwardly. Then, she urged them to set off to divert the awkwardness.

The three of them got into the car and went hiking.

Although it was called hiking, it was actually pushing Grandpa for a walk because the air at the foot of the mountain was good.

In addition, the weather was good today, so it was not too cold. It was good to come out for a walk.

Along the way, they chatted warmly.

“Liuli, do you usually like to climb mountains?”11

It’s alright. I’ve been running a lot recently!” Liuli replied.

“Really? Are you running alone?” Tang Yanxi asked excitedly.

It turned out that she also had the habit of running, but she always ran with her roommates.

After returning to the country, she didn’t run without anyone.

Unexpectedly, Liuli said that she often ran!

This time, they could accompany each other!

No, I run with Brother Moxi!” Liuli replied truthfully.

If Mr. Tang hadn’t forced her to run, she wouldn’t have run!

It was tiring!

“Aren’t you tired running with brother?”
