Chubby Mommy: Scheming Daddy, Surrender Now!-Chapter 267: Getting Something for Nothing

In the evening, Ruby told Ethan about Gwen’s situation, unexpectedly Ethan straightforwardly said, "Of course not!"

Ruby was stunned, she didn’t expect such a strong reaction from him, so she tested him with a joking tone, "What are you afraid of? Do you have some unspeakable secret with Miss Yates?"

Ethan gave her a cold look, with a "Are you stupid" expression.

Ruby squinted, indulging in her own imagination, "Did I guess right?"

Ethan lowered his eyelids, flicked her forehead lightly, "I think you have a bad memory."

Rhonda’s matter had caused him a lot of trouble, which he naturally remembers, but he didn’t expect Ruby to be so indifferent. He then reconsidered that her indifference might be because she doesn’t care about him anymore, making him feel slightly bitter.

Ruby pressed her lips, still showing defiance on her face, but couldn’t help blaming herself for living too carefree lately.

Ethan raised his eyebrows, "Can’t your school let students stay during summer break?"

As far as she knows, most universities usually allow some students to stay on campus, and some graduate and doctoral students can’t go home during the summer even if they want to and have to stay in the school.

Take a step back, if Gwen’s school is not good enough that students aren’t allowed to stay in the summer, given her family background, would she really have nowhere to stay in Ariston?

He couldn’t understand, so he didn’t say much to Ruby, afraid she would unleash her wild imagination and put all sorts of accusations on him that he couldn’t defend.

Although Ruby knows Gwen’s family is quite wealthy, she didn’t think that far, and upon hearing Ethan ask, she tried to recall, "I think we can apply at our school, maybe to switch dorms or something, but I’ve graduated for so many years, who knows what the situation is like now, I just see the kids like her and don’t want the hassle to change teachers."

"I’ll arrange this." He said, hugging Ruby down, "Sleep."

Now he feels there are too many people at home, if possible, he thinks having Gwen move in and himself taking Ruby out to live in a world of two would be the best.

"Um... No, no." Ruby struggled to sit up when she was about to lie down. "I have something else to tell you." Seeing him wanting to lie down listening, she was very unwilling and forcibly pulled him up.

Ethan laughed, "What’s so important?"

"I intend to create my own fragrance brand, starting with making perfume." Ruby said and ran down to bring the laptop up, opening it in front of Ethan, "This is a very rough plan but it covers all my ideas, I hope you take a good look at it."

Ethan raised his eyebrows, glancing over the plan briefly, indeed it was quite rough. Put more bluntly, if a subordinate handed him this, the person could go straight away.

However, just as Ruby said, this rough plan contains her vision for a fragrance empire.

Starting with perfumes getting a footing in the market with her own fame then developing various fragrance products, including handmade soap, candles, and collaborating with major notable brands providing fragrance ingredient support.

Besides perfume, the other ideas are only conceptual, no need to be written in because they are long-term targets, basically only achievable after establishing a foundation, there’s a chance the company may not reach that point before cooling off.

As for the perfume section, Ethan viewed it as the main area, but Ruby only wrote about two directions, one is to create perfumes at different price points for distinct consumer groups, another is to create bespoke perfumes for high-end customers.

Ethan was quite interested in the latter, "Perfume is different from clothes or jewelry, in my view, types are quite limited and slight differences may not be discernible by every woman, how to make bespoke?"

"Though everyone may make a like or dislike judgment on a scent, surely there’s a scent that matches her feelings well, maybe someone just like me would want a signature scent of her own?"

The bespoke idea had been brewing in her mind for a long time, but she always wanted to save it for her own brand, thus she hadn’t mentioned it as the previous company never demanded such a thing.

Ethan closed the laptop, "Nice idea."

"Really?" Ruby felt anxious when she finished it earlier this afternoon, fearing Ethan would criticize it to the ground, she even prepared herself mentally, telling herself she must humbly accept criticism and admit it was her shortcoming.

Unexpectedly, he said "Not bad", these three words sounded like the highest praise to her.

Ethan nodded. This sentence was not said professionally, but encouragement as a husband to his wife, thus he nodded without hesitation.

Ruby’s eyes instantly gleamed brightly, excited she straddled him, "Invest some money in me, or... recommend me to investors."

Ethan took a deep breath, eyeing her up and down, "This position...is to bribe me or..."

Ruby’s face heated up, she tightly closed her eyes, giving him a kiss on the lips, "A little bribery is not impossible."

Suddenly Ethan exerted strength, flipping over to pin her down, looked into her eyes, and fiercely kissed her.

His patience has always been limited, but this woman tends to forget that! For a moment, Ethan plunged into the kiss like an uncontrollable beast, harshly capturing her taste, his body becoming uncontrollably hot.

Considering her injury, he dared not lean over completely, and when his hands lingered on her waist, he didn’t dare exert strength. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Until his breath became rapidly ragged, he stopped, reluctantly retreating to one side, greedily breathing some cool air.

Ruby’s condition wasn’t much better than his, with cheeks blushing like a ripe fruit and heart pounding like a galloping horse, and as for her breathing rhythm, it had long since become chaotic.

She stared blankly at the ceiling, not yet disentangled from the fervent embrace just now.

"How much do you need?" Ethan asked hoarsely after regaining his composure.

Ruby placed her hand on her heaving chest, tilted her head to look at him, "Well...there isn’t any money in my account."

"Empty-handed wolf?"

"With you here, I...will write an IOU first." As she said it, she tightly shut her eyes, thinking her words were shameless, almost like directly asking Ethan for money. Although her vision was wonderful, there’s much uncertainty whether it can come true.

She didn’t hear a response from Ethan for a while, tentatively asked, "Um...if the bribe isn’t enough, how about...adding more?"

Ethan tilted his head and glared at her, thinking she was intentionally torturing him. He rolled his eyes and after tucking her under the quilt, said, "Sleep."

"Is it possible or not?"

"Sleep!" Ethan turned off the lights.

Ruby pouted, only able to obediently fall silent.

In the dark, Ethan exhaled heavily, and then requested another gentle kiss on her lips, "This makes it enough."

Ruby bit her lower lip, not allowing herself to laugh out loud.
