My wife is number one in the world

Chapter 4253 Daydreaming
The moment the little cutie uttered those words, Liu Mingzhi was completely thrown off balance, so much so that he almost choked.

Good heavens, this little darling of mine is leaking air pretty badly!
Liu Mingzhi realized that as long as this little cutie got the chance, she would try to take advantage of him at any time.

"call!"

After letting out a long sigh, Liu Mingzhi pretended to be puzzled and raised his right hand to gently pick at his ear a couple of times.

"How much? My dear daughter, there are just too many pedestrians coming and going on the street, and the sounds around us are quite chaotic."

Therefore, I didn't quite catch how much silver you just said.

"My dear daughter, tell me again, how many taels of silver do you want to lend me?"

Upon hearing this, the little cutie immediately raised her slender, lotus-root-like arm and held up a delicate, jade-like finger that looked like a scallion to Young Master Liu.

“Good father, what I just said was ten thousand taels of silver.”

"Ten thousand taels of silver?"

"Yes, yes, that's right, that's right, it's ten thousand taels of silver."

"Ten thousand taels, ten thousand taels."

After repeating the words "ten thousand taels" twice in a soft voice, Liu Mingzhi suddenly looked up with a puzzled expression and gazed at the cloudless blue sky.

When the little cutie saw her father suddenly look up at the sky with a puzzled expression, her beautiful face faltered slightly.

Immediately afterwards, she also subconsciously tilted her fair and slender neck up and looked up at the clear sky above.

"Hmm? Good Daddy, what are you looking at? Is there something in the sky?"

Upon hearing his beloved daughter's questioning tone filled with doubt, Liu Mingzhi first silently withdrew his gaze from the clear blue sky, then looked at the little cutie opposite him with a half-smile.

"Hehehe, there's nothing in the sky. I just wanted to see if it's daytime now."

Upon hearing her father's teasing reply, the little cutie immediately lowered her slender, delicate neck and then strangely turned her gaze back to Young Master Liu's face.

Then, she immediately noticed the ambiguous smile on Young Master Liu's face.

"Good father, um, is there anything wrong with your head?"
Isn't it obvious whether it's daytime or not? Do we really need to look up at the sky?

Hearing the little cutie's strange question, Liu Mingzhi raised his eyebrows slightly and chuckled softly.

"You brat, I can tell you with absolute certainty that there's nothing wrong with my head."

Upon hearing this, the little cutie immediately parted her cherry lips and replied sweetly, "Good daddy, since you're perfectly clear-headed, why did you just tell Yue'er that you looked up at the sky to see if it was daytime?"

"Daddy, even if you don't look up at the sky, you can tell it's broad daylight, okay?"

"Hahaha, you can see more clearly if you look up!"

Hearing her father's cheerful reply, the little cutie's lips twitched slightly involuntarily. Then, with a hint of helplessness on her pretty face, she nodded gently to Young Master Liu twice.

"Okay!"
But what does this have to do with your request to borrow money from me, dear Father?

Upon hearing his beloved daughter ask him this question in her sweet voice, Liu Mingzhi immediately raised both hands and slapped her hard.

"My dear daughter, that's a good question."

"My dear daughter, let me ask you this: since it's broad daylight, why are you already having such sweet dreams?"

Liu Mingzhi has already said all this, if Little Cutie still doesn't understand what's going on, then she's lived in vain all these years.

Sure enough, as soon as Young Master Liu finished speaking, Little Cutie immediately realized that she had been tricked by her own stinky old man!

What my own stinky old man just said was basically saying that I was daydreaming.
The little cutie realized she had been tricked by her own stinky old man, and immediately huffed and puffed at Young Master Liu in a sweet voice.

"Humph!"

"Old man, Yue'er, I beg you to get one thing straight: you're the one who's borrowing money right now, okay?"
If you want to borrow money from me, I'll lend you ten thousand taels of silver without hesitation.

Faced with this situation, instead of thanking Yue'er kindly, you old rascal, you even mocked me in a sarcastic way.

Hey old man, do you think this is appropriate?

Huh? Huh? Huh? Do you think this is appropriate?

Are we still father and daughter? Do we still have any father-daughter relationship?

Upon hearing his beloved daughter's angry rebuttal, Liu Mingzhi immediately rolled his eyes at the little cutie, feigning annoyance.

"Thank you? I thank your mother's thank you!"

You brat, do you really think your dad is stupid?

The amount of silver you lend me now is the amount of silver I'll have to spend when I give Uncle Lei a return gift.

The money came from my own pocket, but you, you brat, got all the benefits.

Afterwards, besides a word of thanks, what else could I possibly gain as a father?

Moreover, the thanks I'm expressing aren't for you, you brat, but for your Uncle Lei after he received the return gift.

As for your thank you, you brat, that's for your Uncle Lei to hear.

A simple thank you, a mere thank you, and you expect me to part with ten thousand taels of silver?

As Liu Mingzhi spoke loudly with an annoyed expression, he suddenly raised his right hand and forcefully tapped his forehead a few times with his fingers.

"You brat, do I look like a stupid, dim-witted fool to you?"
Ten thousand taels of silver, a full ten thousand taels of silver.

Ten thousand taels of silver to buy pork ribs? Even if I ate them for a lifetime, I still couldn't spend ten thousand taels of silver.

"Unless I've lost my mind, I won't agree to borrow ten thousand taels of silver from you."

After hearing her father's irritating retort, the little cutie gently pursed her pretty face, her expression full of regret.

Immediately, she first took a light breath with her cherry lips slightly parted, and then suddenly smiled and blinked her bright, clear eyes at Young Master Liu a few times.

"Good father, then tell me, how many taels of silver do you want to borrow from me?"

After a moment's thought, Liu Mingzhi looked at the little cutie and said softly, "In theory, one thousand taels of silver should be enough."

However, just in case, my dear daughter, you should give your father two thousand taels of silver first! The little cutie nodded twice with a knowing look, and immediately and skillfully untied the string on the exquisite purse in her hand, and then took out several neatly folded silver notes from the purse.

Immediately, she took out two thousand-tael silver notes from among the several notes and handed them directly to her father.

"Good father, here, two thousand taels of silver."

Liu Mingzhi nodded with a faint smile, casually took the two thousand-tael silver notes that the little cutie handed him, and then put the silver notes directly into his pocket.

Seeing this, the little cutie immediately and gently put the remaining few silver notes in her fair hand back into her exquisite purse, and then carefully tied the string on the purse.

Immediately, she took the reins from her left hand and looked up at Young Master Liu with a serious expression.

"Good father, as the saying goes, if you borrow and repay, it will be easy to borrow again."

Once we get home together, don't forget to return the money to me!

Oh, right, it's not just the two thousand taels of silver you're lending me now, dear father, but also the three thousand taels of silver you promised me when we were in the military camp in the west of the city.

"It's five thousand taels of silver in total. You'll have to give it to me all at once, dear father!"

Seeing the earnest expression on his beloved daughter's pretty face, Liu Mingzhi smiled and nodded gently at the little cutie.

"Oh my, my dear daughter, you can rest assured."

"Once my daughter and I return home, I will immediately have your maid, Yunniang, personally deliver the silver notes to you."

Hearing her father's cheerful reply, the little cutie smiled and nodded twice at Young Master Liu.

"Hehehe, okay, Yue'er understands."

Just as Liu Mingzhi and his daughter Xiao Ke'ai were talking, Lei Jun returned with a big smile on his face, carrying a dark blue bundle on his back.

The dark blue bundle looked heavy on Lei Jun's shoulders, and every now and then a few crisp, light sounds could be heard. It was easy to guess that it contained gold or silver.

Lei Jun looked at Young Master Liu and his daughter, Little Cutie, who were walking slowly in front of him, and happily raised his hands to give Young Master Liu a slight bow.

"Brother Liu, I'm back. I'm sorry to have kept you and my niece Luoyue waiting."

Upon hearing this, Liu Mingzhi waved his hand dismissively at Lei Jun.

"Hey, it doesn't bother you, it doesn't bother you."

Brother Lei, has everything been arranged over there?
Lei Jun nodded slightly with a smile and replied loudly, "Brother Liu, everything has been arranged."

Liu Mingzhi nodded slightly, looking at Lei Jun with a hint of curiosity, and asked softly, "Brother Lei, where have you arranged for us to stay and rest?"

"Brother Liu, I've arranged for the house at the United Chamber of Commerce."

Upon hearing Lei Jun's words, Young Master Liu raised an eyebrow in surprise.

"Oh? The house near the Chamber of Commerce?"

Seeing the surprised look on Young Master Liu's face, Lei Jun nodded slightly without hesitation.

"Brother Liu, yes, it is indeed the house over there by the United Chamber of Commerce."

Brother Liu, please don't overthink this matter.

I can tell you with absolute certainty that the reason I'm arranging for the brothers in the caravan to join the United Merchants Association is not because I guessed that you, Brother Liu, are a big shot behind that guy Krich, but because I had already decided to do this while I was still on my way to the capital of the Arab world.

You know, even though I had this idea and made the decision, I still didn't know who the big shot behind Krich was!
There were two reasons why I had this idea.

Firstly, I wanted to find an opportunity to investigate the identity of the big shot behind Krich; secondly, I wanted to take advantage of the United Chamber of Commerce to find more profitable business opportunities.

Now that I know the big shot behind Krich is you, Brother Liu, all I need to do now is focus on finding business opportunities.

After listening to Lei Jun's eloquent explanation, Liu Mingzhi smiled and raised his hand to give a slight nod.

"Brother Lei, please don't misunderstand. I didn't mean anything by it. I was just a little surprised."

Upon hearing Liu Mingzhi's words, Lei Jun silently breathed a sigh of relief and nodded gently at him with a smile.

"Yes, I understand."

Liu Mingzhi smiled and took a light breath, then turned around to look at the little cutie behind him.

"Moon".

The little cutie heard her father's soft call and quickly looked away from a jewelry stall.

"Oh, Father, what's wrong?"

Hearing his beloved daughter's question, Liu Mingzhi chuckled and said loudly, "My dear daughter, we've been walking for quite a while now, haven't we reached the intersection where we should turn yet?"

Upon hearing her father's question, the little cutie immediately turned her slender, fair neck to observe the situation on both sides of the street.
She quickly withdrew her gaze, smiled, and gently pouted her luscious cherry lips.

"Good father, we're almost there, almost there."

"Look, at that intersection just ahead, we can turn around after walking about sixty or seventy steps."

As soon as the little cutie finished speaking in her sweet, soft voice, Young Master Liu subconsciously turned his head and looked in the direction she was pointing with her slightly pouting red lips.

Then, he smiled and looked away.

"It's almost there, it's almost there."

"My dear daughter, I've never been to the jewelry store owned by the Creech family. Why don't you walk ahead and lead the way for me, your Uncle Lei, and me?"

"Okay, Yue'er understands."

After responding to Young Master Liu's words in a sweet voice, the little cutie quickly quickened her pace.

In just a few breaths, she led the two BMWs behind her and overtook Liu Dashao and Lei Jun.

"Father, Uncle Lei, please come with me!"

"Yes, it's here, it's here."

"Okay, coming, coming."

With the little cutie leading the way, Liu Mingzhi and Lei Jun silently followed in her footsteps while continuing their quiet conversation with smiles on their faces.
