Return of the Immortal Emperor Daddy-Chapter 196 Business Opportunity (Fifth Update)
"I... I haven’t decided yet." Qin Yuhan, the formidable CEO, lowered her head. She was unable to meet Wu Tian’s gaze, which seemed to burn with a blazing fire that left her completely flustered.
"I know you’re scared, but every journey begins with a single step." Wu Tian knew that what Qin Yuhan lacked was the courage to take that first step.
As her husband, he knew it was his role to give her that courage.
He reached out. The casual gesture alone was the epitome of finesse. Those in the city who considered themselves masters would, upon seeing this, realize that their skills were merely crude peasant tricks.
With a gentle wave of his hand, all of Qin Yuhan’s clothes were undone, falling onto the bed. Just as Wu Tian moved to take the next step, he noticed she was crying.
"I... I’m really not ready." The thought of it frightened her. The memory of a drunk Wu Tian from four years ago was terrifying, and she had never been able to forget it.
Seeing this, Wu Tian couldn’t help but sigh. He could tell from the look in her eyes that forcing her would cause immense harm—not physical, but emotional.
"Thank you," Qin Yuhan murmured, seeing that Wu Tian was no longer pressuring her. Her cheeks were already flushed crimson.
Wu Tian sighed and turned to leave the room, but Qin Yuhan caught his hand.
"Um... well... I can scrub your back."
Qin Yuhan knew she couldn’t keep on like this. She had to take the first step, but she didn’t dare make it too big.
Hearing this, Wu Tian nodded.
The bathroom filled with a steamy, ambiguous atmosphere. After his bath, Wu Tian returned to his room and slept soundly.
But that night, Qin Yuhan couldn’t sleep at all.
「The next day.」
Wu Tian got up, his expression the same as always. Qin Yuhan, however, didn’t dare to meet his eyes when she saw him. Who would have thought that the icy CEO also had such an adorable side?
At the breakfast table, the little one was drinking her milk while looking at Qin Yuhan. "Mommy, your face is as red as an apple!" she exclaimed. "You’re so cute, I want to give you a kiss."
With a MWAH, she planted a kiss right on Qin Yuhan’s cheek.
At the table, Murong Yezi and Li Muge had already guessed what happened last night. Li Muge sighed softly, but she knew she should offer her blessings. It was her duty as a sworn sister.
Murong Yezi thought for a moment and said, "Looks like I need to buy some pig kidneys. Oh, I hear black-bone chicken is good, too. Yuhan, the black-bone chicken is for you."
Qin Yuhan didn’t know how to respond. She felt like she could die from embarrassment.
Wu Tian just chuckled. After breakfast, Murong Yezi prepared to take the little one to kindergarten.
The moment the little one heard the word "kindergarten," she was a picture of defiance.
"I don’t wanna go!" The adorable child quickly clung to the leg of the dining table, showing her refusal.
"Why not? You always used to go without any problems, didn’t you?" Murong Yezi asked curiously.
"I was an elementary school student before, but things are different now," the little one declared righteously. "Now I’m someone amazing! I’m the Sect Leader of Wudang, and I’m also..."
"Still illiterate," Murong Yezi cut in, her face looking perpetually young and charming. "You need to understand, if you don’t study, you’ll be illiterate. You can’t become a great person that way."
"Really? You’re not joking?" The little one was a bit skeptical.
"If you don’t study, you’ll never be a match for your dad." Murong Yezi feigned sadness. "You won’t be able to beat him, so he can spank you every single day."
The little one panicked, shaking her head furiously. "No! No way!"
And with that, the little one obediently let Murong Yezi take her to kindergarten.
Wu Tian naturally accompanied Qin Yuhan and Li Muge to the corporation, as an important event was scheduled to take place.
Every nation had its own Martial Arts World. As for which was the strongest, there was no definitive answer, but Dragon Country undoubtedly had the most practitioners. The Martial Arts World was brimming with opportunities and business ventures. Thus, the Rothschild Family and the Kuangte Family had decided to join forces to launch a Scientific Cultivation Device.
Gona’s visit to Dragon Country was to meet with Tellam and Qin Yuhan to jointly promote the device.
In the car, Qin Yuhan showed Wu Tian the blueprints for the so-called Scientific Cultivation Device. It did offer some help with Martial Skills cultivation, but its other benefits were far from astonishing. At most, it refined one’s physique to be more solid, achieving an effect similar to cultivating the "Golden Bell Cover" or "Iron Shirt."
"What do you think? Is it feasible?" Qin Yuhan asked, deciding to seek Wu Tian’s opinion.
Although nothing had happened last night, Qin Yuhan had come to realize just how important her husband’s opinion on the matter was.
"Whether it can be promoted depends entirely on me," Wu Tian said confidently. Qin Yuhan and Li Muge were stunned, not understanding his words, but Wu Tian didn’t elaborate.
Actually, I could just write a prescription and sell some pills. They would aid cultivation—nothing miraculous, of course, just something I could scribble down—but they’d still be incomparably better than this Scientific Cultivation Device.
For example, if a person wanted to lose weight and had two choices—an exercise machine, or a weight-loss pill with no side effects and instant results—what would they choose? The answer was obvious.
If Wu Tian were to release such a pill, the Rothschild Family’s entire trip to Dragon Country would be for naught.
Upon arriving at the corporation, a meeting was immediately called. Leading the meeting were Tellam and an elderly man from the Rothschild Family. Qin Yuhan whispered to Wu Tian that this man was the Second Elder of the Rothschild Family and that Gona was one of the nine sons of the current head of the family.
The old man, named Watt Rothschild, was currently explaining just how magnificent the Scientific Cultivation Device was. He asked Qin Yuhan and Wu Tian to take notes, which could be used as promotional slogans during the launch.
"Where is Gona? Why isn’t he here?" Suddenly, Tellam noticed his absence and said angrily, "Second Elder, he is the main decision-maker for the Rothschild Family on this project, yet he doesn’t show up. Is the Rothschild Family looking down on the Kuangte Family? Do you not care about this collaboration between our two great families at all?"
Watt’s expression soured as well.
Just then, a handsome voice came from the entrance. Although the speaker was a foreigner, he spoke the language of Dragon Country perfectly. "My apologies, I am late. I was arranging for this Rainbow Rose to be air-shipped as a gift for Ms. Qin Yuhan. Surely you can forgive me for being late for the sake of a beloved woman, Miss Tellam? After all, you of all people once understood such feelings so deeply."
