Chapter 108: The End

Liu Yue truly hadn't expected that her husband was actually this outstanding—he was still the youthful white moonlight in so many people's hearts.

But Liu Yue, still smiling, said to Qian Duoduo: "Little sister, you said Shen Mo treated them all well, and he should have formed a white moonlight image in their hearts too. But they never came looking for Shen Mo all these years—does that mean they don't love him?"

"So I don't have to follow your line of thinking and get jealous of them, right?"

Liu Yue's words left Qian Duoduo with a strange expression.

Qian Duoduo said: "Sister, is there a chance they've been like perverts, secretly peeking at your lives all along?"

"Even going so far as to take photos, edit you out, edit themselves in, creating the illusion that Shen Mo is by their side."

"Even more, they're working hard, starting businesses, trying to make money in the future so they can keep Shen Mo-ge as a sugar baby."

Qian Duoduo's words carried plenty of malice.

Liu Yue, however, just smiled indifferently, not taking it to heart.

If hard work were enough, then what counted for all the accumulation her family had built?

Without standing at the风口 and becoming one of the few industry pioneers, it was impossible to catch up to their family.

This was reality.

Qian Duoduo was defeated by Liu Yue's composure.

The scariest thing was exactly this kind of person who simply wouldn't take the bait.

After a while, Shen Mo came back carrying a few worn bricks and stones.

They were leftovers from when the old mountain house was torn down.

After decades, they might not be good for anything else, but they could still be used to build a small circle for burning paper offerings.

As the flames rose, Shen Mo and Liu Yue closed their eyes together, silently telling their grandmother whatever they wanted to say.

Qian Duoduo didn't cause any more trouble either.

After a while, they opened their eyes. Shen Mo gazed through the flames at the tombstone, as if he could see a little old lady waving at him.

Shen Mo chuckled softly and murmured: "I'll bring your great-grandchildren to see you."

After returning to the county town, he declined the Qian parents' invitation to stay a few more days and drove straight back to Jinghai City.

In the days that followed, Shen Mo and Liu Yue's daily life was mainly rest, occasionally handling their respective work.

People from Baiyin Game Company would only report work progress to Shen Mo every few days.

As for Liu Group, Liu Xinhua was there to manage it.

As time flew by, the day of delivery arrived in the blink of an eye.

Outside the delivery room, the Shen Family, Liu Family, and Qin Family had all arrived.

Liu Xinhua and Ms. Qin Hao kept their distance from each other.

With heaven's blessing, the children were born—fraternal twins, a boy and a girl.

Ms. Qin Hao waved her hand grandly: both take the Qin surname.

Liu Xinhua wanted to speak up but didn't dare, so he could only take it out on Shen Mo, calling him a coward.

Shen Mo shrugged and said lightly: "Yep, I'm a coward."

The children's names were also given by Ms. Qin Hao.

Qin Ming and Qin Yue.

Liu Xinhua thought the names were terribly tacky.

On the day of the two children's hundred-day banquet, quite a few people came, and the gifts they received made the two children, while still too young to remember, into little ones with assets worth over a hundred million.

Shen Mo was incredibly envious, but the moment he thought these were his own children, he felt completely at ease.

With someone attending her confinement and someone watching the children, Liu Yue recovered very well. Half a year later she was a great beauty again—a great beauty with the added charm of a mature woman.

The key was her skin didn't show any signs of aging, still tender as snow, which made Shen Mo exclaim that he'd gotten the better deal.

Liu Yue laughed coquettishly at this.

When Qin Ming and Qin Yue were four, Shen Mo and Liu Yue had a son, Liu Mingli.

Also in that year, the two games "Hero" and "Glory" produced by Baiyin Game Company exploded in popularity.

Shen Mo's net worth skyrocketed.

Liu Xinhua also transferred sixty percent of his cash assets to Liu Mingli as a gift, and declared that his own mission was now complete.

When Qin Ming and Qin Yue were eight and Liu Mingli was four, Liu Yue gave birth to a daughter, Shen Yunran, for Shen Mo.

At this point, their child-bearing mission was officially complete, and the two cheered in celebration. Four children, each with their own industry to inherit.

After having the children, both Liu Yue and Shen Mo's work began to get busy.

Liu Yue formally took over Liu Group, and combined with the Qin Foundation and Ms. Wenya's assets, her work could be said to be extremely busy.

For the sake of his children, Shen Mo also began to truly throw himself into his career.

Shen Mo couldn't help but say: his past self had really been putting on airs.

Four children, while they wouldn't take his life, brought Shen Mo plenty of pressure.

Especially the youngest daughter—she was the one who would inherit his own industry in the future, so he had to take good care of her.

This made Liu Yue sigh: "Children really are closer than a wife."

Shen Mo quickly hugged Liu Yue, kissing her, holding her, lifting her up high, comforting her in every way.

Wife is the best.

In the four children's growing lives, Shen Mo and Liu Yue did their best to be involved.

But the four children still grew up crooked.

Qin Ming ultimately became a medical research scientist.

Qin Yue did inherit the great Qin Foundation, but with her abundant energy and her mysophobia, she had no heart for romance.

The two of them made Liu Yue and Shen Mo feel exactly what the older generation had felt back then, watching the two of them refuse to have children.

Liu Mingli was even more outrageous—he simply lost his mind.

At a six-year-old's parent meeting, he gave Liu Yue a grand gift.

That day, when Liu Yue went to attend the parent meeting, the moment she walked in, a group of little brats shouted greetings to Her Majesty the Empress.

Liu Mingli had dressed himself up as the Little Lord of Jinghai.

Afterwards, Liu Yue and Shen Mo were laughed at by people in their circle for three years.

Grown up, Liu Mingli devoted himself to his career, managing the Liu family business in perfect order—yet he produced a bastard child.

He directly fell in love with his business partner, but the two feared the other would scheme against their assets, so they chose to have two children without getting married.

The youngest child, Shen Yunran, was the one who gave Shen Mo and Liu Yue the least peace of mind.

She was also the one who gave them the biggest surprise.

She became a green-tea player.

She only dated, never married, never had children.

In the end, she even brought home a girl.

She said, the genders aren't even the same, how could they be together.

To show she was no longer a green-tea player, Shen Yunran even cut off her long hair and grew it short, becoming a capable, sharp girl.

That day, Shen Mo's whole world collapsed—he'd never suffered any hardship in his life, so how had he ended up enduring every kind of misery on behalf of these four children?

It was still Liu Yue who said, look on the bright side—what else can you do? You can't exactly beat them to death, can you? After all, the children are your own.

In the end, it was still Liu Mingli who had a few more children, so that the scattered family business could be inherited.

These four children taught Shen Mo one principle: you can't be too cocky when you're young, or you'll get your comeuppance when you're old.

…………

The End.

It's very rushed, but it's about right.

The new book "Shrouding the Heavens: The First Emperor of the Desolate Ancient" is already online.

Those who read fanfiction can go take a look.

Starting another work of the same type will probably have to wait a while.

Because my energy really is a bit lacking.

Actually I should have written more, but there really are too many things going on.

For example: my young uncle came, and I have to look after him.

Grandma is sick again.
