After having a simple home-cooked dinner together, Fang Xiaoyu went home first.

Gao Qinghe called Jiang Baohai into her room and asked him how much he had spent.

Jiang Baohai: "A full 50,000 yuan."

The car is fine; a used one won't cost much more.

Since everyone involved in the underworld was in the same business, Yan Hong went in person, and the car dealership didn't dare to rip her off, so they gave her a discount based on personal connections.

Jiang Baohai touched the business license that hadn't been laminated yet and clicked his tongue in disapproval.

"Don't underestimate this thin business license; it cost over 20,000 yuan to get it."

Gao Qinghe also knew that the most difficult thing to obtain was the certificate.

He said more seriously, "It seems that just treating her to a meal isn't enough; I need to prepare a gift for Sister Yan as well."

He opened the safe, took out 50,000 yuan in cash, and threw it into Jiang Baohai's arms without hesitation.

Jiang Baohai took the money without counting it, put it in his briefcase, and looked at his wife's happy face, feeling complicated.

"You're really willing to do that to your cousin."

She just throws away 50,000 yuan like that; anyone who didn't know better would think it was her own sister!

I'm afraid that if Gao Qingya wants 50,000 yuan, she'll have to use a lot of persuasion before she can give it to her in installments.

Gao Qinghe said, "We're sisters who've been through thick and thin together, so it's only right that we be generous."

"Life and death?" Jiang Baohai repeated her words softly to himself.

Is she sure she didn't use that word incorrectly?
Gao Qinghe is more educated than him, so she shouldn't make such a small mistake.

So you're hiding something from him?

Gao Qinghe did not hear a response from the person behind her.

Looking back.

She was met with a gloomy face, and sharp phoenix eyes staring intently at her, as if they wanted to tear her apart.

Gao Qinghe's heart skipped a beat, and she belatedly realized what she had just said.

Jiang Baohai: "What do you mean by 'risking your life'? What 'risking your life' things have you two done?"

Gao Qinghe: We're doomed!
The man's aura became extremely dangerous as he pressed closer step by step.

Gao Qinghe retreated to the wardrobe door with a "duang~", and seeing that the space was about to be squeezed to the point of no return, she raised her hands and said, "I'll talk, I'll talk."

Jiang Baohai did not back away because of her words. He put one hand in his pocket, raised his chin slightly, and gestured for her to speak.

Gao Qinghe: "You'll get angry again if I actually tell you."

Jiang Baohai: "Speak!"

Okay, go ahead and say it. It's not like it's anything shameful.

Gao Qinghe recounted the robbery she and Huang Yanqiu encountered while reselling government bonds.

A few more incidents were added, such as encountering thieves groping each other.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Baohai's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

Gao Qinghe shrugged. See? You insisted on listening even when I didn't tell you, and now you're angry when I do.

You asked for it.

Jiang Baohai took a deep breath and squeezed out through gritted teeth, "Gao Qinghe, Huang Yanqiu, you two are really something."

He's furious!

Does she know that her life is his life?
"So reckless! If he really dies, do you think he'll survive?"
Even if we assume she died, he also died.

Where will he find her in the next life?
"Gao Qinghe, I'm warning you, if you continue like this, I'll sell the mine."

Jiang Baohai was furious, and his voice changed tone, becoming as deep and fierce as a tiger about to kill its prey.

Gao Qinghe swallowed hard. "Why are you selling the mine?"

Jiang Baohai said, "After selling the mine, I'll tie myself to your waist every day and keep an eye on you until I die."

Gao Qinghe: "."

Fortunately, he didn't know that she had a system that could electrocute people at any time.

Otherwise, wouldn't he go crazy?

Gao Qinghe coaxed softly, "Alright, alright, don't sell your mine. I still want to squander all the money you've earned."

"You know I don't fight battles I'm not sure I can win. Huang Yanqiu is skilled, and I'm intelligent. Together, we're a powerful combination, invincible."

Gao Qinghe raised her hand, trying to pat his head to comfort him. The man turned his head away, grabbed her hand, and pushed her down onto the bed.

He can't bear to scold her, and he feels bad even if he hits her, yet he can spout a whole set of道理 (reasoning/logic) with that little mouth.

There was nothing I could do but teach her a lesson.

"Do you dare to do it next time?"

Gao Qinghe rubbed her aching lower back and gritted her teeth, "Mind your own business!"

Jiang Baohai raised his hand to rub his temples, suppressing his violent emotions.

"Can't you just listen to me?"

He held her tightly in his arms, buried his head in the crook of her neck, and spoke with a tone of helplessness and sorrow.

“I’m going on a business trip tomorrow and won’t be back for at least two weeks. How can I dare to go out if you’re so disobedient?”

Gao Qinghe asked curiously, "If I die, you can't live?"

A grown man, answering without any hesitation.

"No, I can't live without you, not even for a day."

Gao Qinghe admitted that this sentence was more beautiful than ten thousand "I love you"s.

She pushed his head out, cupped his cold face in her hands, looked into his eyes that suppressed his fierceness, leaned in, and gently kissed his eyes.

"Selling the mines is prohibited."

With just one kiss, the ferocity in his eyes vanished instantly.

"Ah."

Gao Qinghe kissed his face again.

"Go on your business trip with peace of mind."

The man turned the other side of his face that he hadn't kissed, and only nodded after she kissed him.

Gao Qinghe ruffled the man's hair; it was stiff and coarse, but thankfully smooth to the touch.

"Go and make money so your wife can spend it, you hear me?"

Jiang Baohai scoffed, "You're richer than me."

Gao Qinghe glared at him: "Are you going to earn money or not so I can spend it?"

Jiang Baohai: "Make money!"

If I spoke even a second too slowly, I was afraid she would doubt my loyalty.

Even when we sleep, I hold her hand and stay close to her, wishing there wasn't a single gap between us.

Gao Qinghe regretted changing to a thicker quilt; with Jiang Baohai, such a stoic figure, she didn't need a thick quilt at all.

With her eyes closed, she complained a little, "Why are you so clingy now?"

The man didn't answer, he just held her tighter.

Thinking that they would be separated for half a month tomorrow, he couldn't bear to sleep.

Gao Qinghe covered his face with her hand. "Don't stare at me. Go to sleep. That's an order."

"Don't do anything dangerous again," he warned persistently.

Gao Qinghe didn't answer, but kept repeating it until she said, "Okay, I promise you."

They breathed a sigh of relief, letting drowsiness wash over them, leading them into the same beautiful dream.

Since graduating from driving school, Gao Qinghe has rarely woken up at the same time as Jiang Baohai.

Half past eight in the morning.

As Jiang Baohai woke up, Gao Qinghe also woke up.

She took out her suitcase, opened the wardrobe, and helped him pack his luggage.

She hadn't done this kind of thing much in her past life, but with the fashion sense she had accumulated over the two lifetimes, she quickly prepared all the outfits she would need for the next two weeks.

Fearing Jiang Baohai might not understand, Gao Qinghe gave him instructions while tidying up:
"It's getting cold, so I brought you a thick coat, which is at the bottom of the stack. I also brought two formal suits, one dark and one light. You can choose whichever suits the occasion."

Before he could finish speaking, his mouth was covered.

Jiang Baohai gave her a quick, satisfying hug, then let go, completely forgetting his insecurity from the previous night, and looking radiant.

The couple exchanged a smile; mature partners know to leave the negatives in yesterday and move forward with positivity. (End of Chapter)
