Chapter 429 - 407: This task can only be carried out between the two of us.
Shen Yanchen furrowed his brows: "Why do you need to learn that?""To do my own makeup. I have to meet clients for work nowadays, so it’s better to look professional. Xiaoxiao and the others are all going, we’ve already made appointments."
"You can learn it, but only do it for me. Why would you want to look all dolled-up for clients? Are you there to work or to date?"
Gu Qimiao glanced at him: "Mr. Shen, can you have some confidence in yourself? Do you think I’m the kind of woman who messes around outside?"
"You’re not, but those men might be. I’ll assign some PR staff from my company to accompany you. From now on, let them go see the clients."
"What would they do? They don’t understand my field. I need to discuss the design direction of the artworks with the clients personally. Even Mr. Fang, the big boss, personally handles a lot of deals!"
Shen Yanchen replied, "Then let him come back and manage his own gallery."
"Mr. Fang has helped me a lot in the past. It’s only right that I help him manage the gallery, besides he pays me a salary."
"Am I short of money? Do you need to earn money to support the family?"
"Shen Yanchen, can’t you stop being so chauvinistic? I know we’re not short of money, but I need my own career too. Am I supposed to just stay home every day, eat, sleep, and be treated like a pig?"
Shen Yanchen nodded: "Wouldn’t that be nice? Well-rested and well-fed, you’d have the energy to take care of business with me at night, instead of always complaining about how tired you are before we even start and not cooperating at all."
Gu Qimiao’s face turned red, but he continued, "How about I pay you hourly every night? Ten thousand per hour."
"Shen Yanchen!"
"Isn’t work just about earning money through labor? That can be your job too, your exclusive job given by me."
"Then why don’t you quit your job and earn ten thousand an hour outside?"
"This job can only be done between the two of us. If you’re willing, I can quit my job too. You can pay me five thousand an hour, how about that?"
"Then you might as well pay me ten thousand!"
"Deal."
Only after she finished speaking did Gu Qimiao realize she had fallen into his trap. She turned her head angrily to look out the window and said, "From now on, I’ll make the money, and you stay home to take care of the kids!"
"Will you provide the bed at night? If so, I can consider it."
Gu Qimiao rolled her eyes at him instantly: "Can’t you think of anything else?"
The car slowly came to a stop. He turned to look at her seriously and said, "There are still many positions we haven’t unlocked yet."
Gu Qimiao opened the car door, got out holding the child, and Shen Yanchen locked the car door. He unhurriedly caught up with the mother and child with his long legs and took the child into his own arms.
She didn’t speak to him again all the way home, but he wasn’t in a hurry. Watching her storm off to the bathroom with her pajamas, he put the child in the crib and headed to the downstairs bathroom to take a shower.
When he came upstairs, she still hadn’t come out. He sat by the bed, and a while later, he heard the bathroom door click open. She walked out wearing a long nightdress, the loose garment obscuring her figure, but he could vividly remember every curve of her body.
Gu Qimiao saw him staring at her and knew what this lustful man was thinking. She walked towards him and said, "Hand over the money, the registration fee for the makeup class."
He glanced at her outstretched palm and asked indifferently, "How much?"
