Chapter 216: 126, The Taste of the New Year, Lin Mo’s Important Plans for the Future!_1
Though they were an old married couple, Li Jinwen still felt a bit shy under Lin Mo’s fervent gaze, lowering her head slightly and saying, “What are you doing, staring at me like that? Do I have a drawing on my face?”
It was like a long-distance couple who hadn’t seen each other in ages, chatting passionately on WeChat, hearts surging, but when they actually met face to face, they reverted to being as reserved as strangers meeting for the first time.
The same is actually true for deeply affectionate couples,
Living together for a long time inevitably leads to aesthetic fatigue, which is unavoidable, but being apart for a little while can just dilute this fatigue and increase the secretion of hormones in the body.
That’s what they often say online: distance makes the heart grow fonder.
“Cough….”
Lin Mo, whose head was filled with R-rated thoughts, suddenly found himself feeling a bit embarrassed too, coughing twice and saying awkwardly, “It’s nothing, just that I missed you a lot after being away for so many days.”
Upon hearing this, Li Jinwen’s heart blossomed with joy, but her mouth teased, “Oh, you must have been so happy without me nagging you for so many days, right?”
“Hmph, you didn’t answer several of my WeChat video calls, tell me honestly, were you up to no good?”
She was obstinate in speech, yet her body honestly walked over and helped Lin Mo take off his coat.
“That’s not true, I was being very well-behaved, okay?”
“I missed your video calls because I was genuinely busy. Otherwise, how could I have made so much money?”
Having removed his clothes, Lin Mo held Li Jinwen and crawled into the warm bed, earnestly saying, “Wife, I swear to you, I absolutely did not mess around.”
“I haven’t in the past, and I won’t in the future!”
Li Jinwen’s face radiated with happiness as she snuggled into Lin Mo’s embrace and nodded gently, “Mhm, I believe you, husband.”
And then…
They suddenly had nothing to say to each other.
After waiting a while longer, in the pitch-dark room, only soft breathing remained.
Had she fallen asleep?
Lin Mo figured his wife must be exhausted from taking care of the elderly at home and busy with all the New Year’s preparations.
Even though his mind harbored some R-rated desires, he felt awkward voicing them out loud.
After all, his wife was pregnant.
Holding his wife’s warm, soft body, Lin Mo stared at the pitch-black ceiling, tallying up his recent windfalls.
There was already over two hundred million in cash in his bank account, which was enough for a family to live on for a lifetime, or even the next, without any reckless splurging.
And that was just from selling five valuable swords; he hadn’t sold the two large chests of antiques yet, and there were still some large items in the Eunuch’s Tomb.
If he were to sell everything, a rough estimate suggested he could make another two to three billion.
Plus, Zhang Yihua’s animation was also going online soon, which would earn him tens of millions in dividends.
All told, he was looking at five or six billion!
This was truly… making money hand over fist!
In just a few months since activating the system, he had transformed from a laborer who struggled to make a few hundred a day into a super millionaire worth five or six billion!
Money, for him, had become just a number.
Most company bosses on the stock market didn’t even have as much as he did!
And in his hometown, a third- or fourth-tier city, he could probably rank within the top hundred local tycoons!
Happiness came so swiftly that he scarcely had the time to savor it.
For Lin Mo, at least, the problem of money was, for the time being, completely solved.
Although earning big money later on hadn’t excited him as much as when he’d made over a million from the Guangxu Yuanbao, a nine-figure bank balance still gave Lin Mo a solid sense of security.
Life at home was getting better and better, with his parents smiling all day long.
Once Chen Shanhe, that big troublemaker, was dealt with, and his little sister Lin Siyu woke up, things would be truly perfect, and his family could live a life they’d never even dared to dream of before.
Content?
Very much so.
Lin Mo had started from the bottom; achieving this in less than half a year, he was very satisfied and content.
And during this time, he also gradually developed some other ideas now that funds were ample, he could start to set them in motion!
“Husband… are you… asleep?”
At this moment, Li Jinwen’s tentative voice sounded.
Lin Mo was slightly taken aback, thinking his wife had already fallen asleep, and he replied softly, “Not yet… what’s up?”
“Well…” Li Jinwen hesitated for a moment before speaking, “You… having been abstinent so long… does it make you uncomfortable?”
As an old married couple, they both understood what the other was hinting at.
And since the subject had been broached, it was clear his wife was initiating a reward!
Feeling elated, Lin Mo shifted his body slightly and tenderly kissed her.
…..
Half an hour later.
Li Jinwen got up to wash and tidy up.
Lin Mo lay comfortably in bed, savoring the lingering pleasure.
After a while, they started talking again.
Sharing the little things in life as well as recent happenings at home.
Li Jinwen did most of the talking, while Lin Mo listened.
It must be said,
Having money truly is beneficial, as evidenced by this visit home.
At first, when they didn’t have a car, there weren’t nearly as many relatives visiting, and the villagers and local leaders weren’t as warm.
But once the nearly 3 million-valued Range Rover Vogue arrived in the courtyard, everything underwent a drastic change.
Not only did home visitors increase, but the neighbors also became very enthusiastic.
Someone helped sweep the snow from the doorway, tidy up the weeds in the yard, and even neighbors who weren’t that close were asking after Lin Mo with genuine warmth and concern.
