Chapter 524 Mo’er Is Different! (1)

As he spoke, he darted a glance at her, but not daring to look more.

Meanwhile, his hands were clenched tightly underneath his sleeves. Just being able to talk peacefully with her was very satisfying to him!

His three years of suffering seemed to have smoother out at once, leaving behind only desire and expectation.

When Gong Yimo heard his words, she smiled!

She was happier than anyone that Gong Che could let go. She knew him very well due to their feuds that happened in the past life, and the mutual support they shared in the previous years also made her feel close to him from the bottom of her heart. But it was impossible for her to fall in love with him. However, being able to live in peace with Gong Che and having a reliable big brother was a great feeling!

“Imperial Brother, you underestimate me too much. How could I have not lived well?”

Even though she had grown up and appeared more composed, her lively eyes would still look like the warm spring sun when she talked during a good mood, making everything around her burst out with vitality.

At this moment, she would never have suspected that Gong Che was only pretending to let her go. She didn’t like to doubt things and would generally not like to be calculating with anyone, so she easily believed him.

When Gong Che saw her get close to him once more, he could not help but feel glad for choosing the right method. With that thought, his eyes softened and began chatting happily with her with a smile on his face.

“Now that Yuheng and Dayu are about to start trading, the waterway no longer needs to be guarded by soldiers. Soon, we will be able to go shopping openly…”

Gong Yimo had said at the beginning that smuggling was only temporary. One day, the four nations will be able to intermingle in trade. Unexpectedly, she really was able to achieve it, and as a woman at that!

This is what Gong Che truly admired!

Gong Yimo smiled a little proudly. Suddenly thinking of something, she looked nervously at Gong Che and raised a brow.

“I’ve already scaled up my fleet of s.h.i.+ps so even if we go official in the future, those waterways are still mine, mine!”

She narrowed her eyes and stared straight at Gong Che. “Imperial Brother, now that you have gained control of most of the resources at the ca.n.a.l, you won’t try to fight me for those little streams, will you?”

Her expression changed quickly, and that nervous little look of hers almost melted Gong Che’s heart in cuteness!

He really wanted to tell her: it’s yours, it’s all yours. If you wish it, then you can have the entire Grand Ca.n.a.l! As long as you—become mine!

But he did not dare to say it. He was trapped in a cage of frenzied madness, but her pitiful look was worth holding on for.

“As long as you want it, those…are all yours.” He seemed to have spoken these words on the tip of his tongue, filled with deep affection.

But he suddenly came back to his senses. Fearing that he would alert Gong Yimo, he quickly said, “After all, it’s all thanks to you that I have what I have now!”

Gong Yimo’s eyes curved in pleasure. She loved hearing people appreciate her efforts and praising her!

“That…You have to return the s.h.i.+pyard at Hongze Lake to me!”

“All right.”

“I also want to open another s.h.i.+pyard in Huai River…”

“Anything you wish.”

Gong Yimo really wanted to cheer! Her compliant crown prince brother is finally back, and that doting look in his eyes was simply clear!

“Thank you, Imperial Brother!”

She said joyfully. Having suddenly thought of something, she rustled around her sleeve pretensively and took out a small cloth pouch after searching for a while, saying…

“Since Imperial Brother is so generous, then I can’t be stingy either! Here, this is good stuff and it’s all yours!”
