Chapter 1402

Zhu Yanyi also noticed the rapid progress. "I didn't expect it to develop so fast. This shows Tong Ying has good management skills."

Yan Aohan smiled slightly. "It has also created considerable profits for the Ouyang family."

Zhu Yanyi didn't mind this. As a hands-off boss, she felt it was right for the Ouyang family to receive their share since they did more work than she did.

After watching for a while, Yan Aohan started the car again and drove toward the next destination.

"Where are you taking me next?" Zhu Yanyi asked.

Yan Aohan smiled and said, "Just wandering around. Today is your birthday, so you are not allowed to be busy. As for the engagement dress, you said you have a space, so I won't worry about the time. Even if it's too late, I can have people rush it out overnight. Anyway, you must rest well today."

Hearing Yan Aohan’s willful words, Zhu Yanyi could only say, "Okay. I don't know if it's my birthday or yours. Am I being willful, or are you? You don't even care about your own birthday."

"When it was my birthday, you gave me the best gift in the world," Yan Aohan said, raising an eyebrow. The meaning behind his words was clear without needing explanation, and Zhu Yanyi understood it immediately.

"Can we not talk about gifts?" Zhu Yanyi said, her face turning red. Although their relationship had long passed that stage, she still felt shy whenever Yan Aohan spoke like this.

"Okay, we won't talk about it." But he could do it. Of course, Yan Aohan wouldn't say the last part out loud. He had already planned it: during the day, he would take Zhu Yanyi out to relax, and at night, he would give himself as a gift to her. It was only fair to return the favor, since he had received such a wonderful gift from her before.

Fortunately, Zhu Yanyi didn't know her plan. Otherwise, she would have jumped up in protest. When she had given her that "gift" on her birthday, it had left her with a sore back and cramping legs. If she had to receive her gift today, she would suffer again. Was it her birthday or her?

Yan Aohan acted as he said. He didn't have a specific goal, just taking Zhu Yanyi out to relax. They even visited a children's park.

Although this behavior seemed a bit childish, there was no denying that Zhu Yanyi had a very relaxed day.

That evening, back at home, Yan Aohan cooked a candlelight dinner. After dinner, everything seemed normal. However, when they went to rest, Zhu Yanyi realized she had been too naive.

Yan Aohan said he wanted to give her a gift, saying he would give himself to her. In the end, she found that her "vacation" benefited her more. She was tossed and turned all night, looking disheveled.

Most importantly, Zhu Yanyi noticed that her passion that night seemed even stronger than before. It seemed that after her birthday, she had become even more unrestrained.

Fortunately, Yan Aohan didn't torment her for the next few days. After all, they were about to get engaged, and there was much to prepare.

Zhu Yanyi spent her days in the Ruyi Space, making the red wedding dresses for both of them.

The dresses were mainly red with black trim. Red symbolizes joy, and black represents nobility. Since she was making Tang-style suits, she utilized the characteristics of these colors effectively.

After finishing the two sets of clothes and ironing them, Zhu Yanyi called Yan Aohan to try on his suit.

Men's Tang suits often give off an unsuitable vibe.

However, the one Zhu Yanyi made fit Yan Aohan perfectly.

The suit had a red base, with embroidery primarily in imperial yellow, accented with black trim. Worn by Yan Aohan, it highlighted his noble aura.

"I suddenly realize I am really talented," Zhu Yanyi said, looking at the result with satisfaction. Indeed, making the wedding dress oneself was rewarding. No wonder ancient girls made their own wedding gowns; the sense of achievement filled her heart.

Yan Aohan was also satisfied with his clothes. He looked at Zhu Yanyi and said, "You must be tired from these past few days."

Zhu Yanyi smiled slightly. "Not tired. I can sleep in the space if I'm tired, so don't worry."

Yan Aohan’s eyes lit up. "You said one day outside equals one month in the space, right?"

"Yes." Zhu Yanyi kept her eyes on the clothes, checking if any adjustments were needed.

"So, one hour outside means you have about thirty hours in the space," Yan Aohan continued.

"Um, roughly." Zhu Yanyi nodded slightly. Before she could react, Yan Aohan picked her up. "This is good. I will love you well in reality, and when you are tired, you can go to the space to recover."

"No… it's… (⊙o⊙)…" Zhu Yanyi couldn't resist in time.

Yan Aohan, the wolf, had no intention of letting Zhu Yanyi, the sheep, go. By the time Zhu Yanyi woke up again, Yan Aohan had already gone out to handle business, leaving a note on the bedside explaining his whereabouts.

Zhu Yanyi pounded the bed in frustration. It was too much! How could she do this?

She used the pillow as Yan Aohan’s head and punched it to vent her anger. Then, she had no choice but to enter the space, soaking in the Spirit Spring water to recover using the time difference. Afterward, she came out to eat something.

Yan Aohan returned late at night. Seeing Zhu Yanyi sleeping soundly, he didn't disturb her. He washed up and then lay down beside her, pulling her into his arms.

Since their relationship had deepened, Yan Aohan couldn't bear to leave Zhu Yanyi for even a moment.

Feeling the familiar presence, Zhu Yanyi opened her eyes slightly and asked, "You're back?"

"Yes." Yan Aohan gently patted her back. "Sleep. We can talk about things tomorrow."

"Um~" Zhu Yanyi responded and fell back asleep.

The next morning, Yan Aohan mentioned the previous day's events. "Duke Peter has agreed to give the Flying Sky Map. He requires a contract for you to treat Eliza."

"I haven't even stated my demands yet. How did she agree to give the map?" Zhu Yanyi asked, sipping soy milk and tearing a soft steamed bun.

"Country Y is under pressure. Princess Eliza’s older sister, Princess Melissa, married a cousin of the head of the ancient Grace family," Yan Aohan explained.

"The Grace family?" Zhu Yanyi tilted her head, thinking. "I seem to remember that the brothers Gaus and Keith also have the surname Grace."

"That's right. It was Keith and Gaus. They want to study in China. Their status is that of the clan leader's sons, with Keith being the first heir," Yan Aohan explained briefly.

Hearing this, Zhu Yanyi guessed, "Did Keith and Gaus put pressure on Country Y's royal family?" Considering Keith and Gaus's personalities, it was quite possible they did something like this.
