"Then I'll go back and discuss it with my mom first..." Cen Ya said with some difficulty. Suddenly, as if thinking of something, she added, "Right, Minghan, I also want to start a career, so I can help you out. What do you think I should do?"
Ou Minghan felt his head buzz. What was wrong with Cen Ya?
As long as she was content with taking money from the Cen family and didn't cause any more trouble, she would already be helping him.
Now that Cen Ya wanted to start a career, wouldn't that require money in the early stages?
Moreover, the Cen family would definitely prioritize Cen Ya's needs, first trying to help her get her career off the ground. Wouldn't that just be creating more problems for him?
"Yaya, I don't want to see you toil," Ou Minghan said, holding her hand with a pained expression. "You are my wife, and I only wish for you to do nothing, just be happy! Leave everything else to me to handle."
Cen Ya was deeply moved, but this also made her more resolute. "No, Minghan, you are so good to me, I must help you! Even for our future, I want to contribute my part!"
Ou Minghan was very anxious. He tried reasoning with her, his lips practically worn out. He had tried every method, but Cen Ya remained unmoved!
Furthermore, Cen Ya even asked him with grievance, "Minghan, do you also dislike me, thinking I can't help you with anything?"
Ou Minghan was helpless. He really wanted to say exactly that! But words that offended his money source could only be swallowed.
"Yaya, don't think like that. I just love you too much. How about this, you go back first, and I'll think about this matter." Ou Minghan could only compromise.
After persuading her for a while longer, he finally managed to send Cen Ya away.
After Ou Minghan left, he immediately called Lin Shuangshuang.
He first told Lin Shuangshuang that although he couldn't reciprocate her feelings, he could bring her along to make money. However, she would have to help him solve the problem of Cen Ya wanting to start a career.
After hearing Ou Minghan explain the entire situation, Lin Shuangshuang was utterly speechless.
She just wanted to make some money, why was it so difficult?
Was she now not only Cen Ya's best friend but also Ou Minghan's best friend?
Fine, for the sake of the money, she would endure!
"If she wants to start a career, then let her start a career. What's the big deal!" Lin Shuangshuang said impatiently.
"It's easy for you to say. Doesn't starting a career require money!" Ou Minghan was quite displeased.
Lin Shuangshuang was incredibly speechless. Ou Minghan was taking money from the Cen family, and he was actually worried that the Cen family would spend it on Cen Ya? Did he truly consider all of the Cen family's money as his own?
"You know Cen Ya's personality. Once she decides something, not even nine bulls can pull her back!" Lin Shuangshuang silently complained. Otherwise, Ou Minghan wouldn't be so brazen.
After her complaint, she continued, "So, instead of stopping her, you should go along with her. Casually hire a couple of employees for her, form a studio, let her be a fashion designer, and find one or two international competitions for her to enter!"
"Fashion designer?" Ou Minghan began to ponder the feasibility of this plan.
"Yes, at most you'll help her prepare some fabrics, and when necessary, find a few friends to support her and create a grand stage for her, making her feel like she's already a world-renowned designer. That should be enough, right? How much money could that possibly cost?"
Ou Minghan's heart rejoiced. He couldn't help but exclaim, "Shuangshuang, you truly are my confidante! Don't worry, I will definitely remember your kindness!"
After the call ended, Lin Shuangshuang almost threw her phone. Forget it, she would just think about the money. Making money was never easy!
As for Ou Minghan, after hanging up the phone, he felt that the day had gone remarkably smoothly.
Upon returning to the Ou residence, he immediately began preparing his plan. For the first time, he would directly ask the Cen family for money, and he decided to ask for a larger sum! This way, when he asked for money the second time, he could demand even more.
The more Ou Minghan thought about it, the more excited he became. He was already envisioning holding all of the Cen family's assets in his own hands!
When he finished preparing his plan, Ou Minghan checked the time. It was already evening.
Just as Ou Minghan was about to rest, he suddenly frowned, and his expression turned grim.
Ou Tiantian seemed to have not contacted him for a long time. The money he obtained from Cen Ya was almost entirely managed by Ou Tiantian.
Ou Tiantian used to be very attached to him. After sending her abroad, she would call him every late night, and he had even reprimanded her for it.
But now, Ou Tiantian hadn't contacted him for about half a month?
Ou Minghan's heart was filled with suspicion. He immediately dialed Ou Tiantian's number. Moreover, to be safe, he initiated a video call.
The call connected quickly, and through his phone, Ou Minghan saw Ou Tiantian.
The sun was bright behind her, and she seemed to be on an island.
Upon seeing him, Ou Tiantian's pale face was instantly filled with a look of dependence. "Brother~"
"Tiantian, are you doing well lately?" Ou Minghan asked patiently.
"I'm okay. I've already adapted to life abroad." Ou Tiantian adjusted her clothes, then pointed her phone around. "Brother, look. I bought this with your money."
"You used my money to buy an island?!" Ou Minghan was shocked.
"Yes, Brother," Ou Tiantian said with an innocent look. "You said before that you hoped I would help you manage your money. But after thinking about it, I realized that money is safest when it's converted into real estate.
This island is the one I chose. If you encounter any trouble in China in the future, this can be your final fallback.
Or, if you get tired of living in China, you can come abroad then, and we can live here forever without anyone disturbing us. Wouldn't that be nice?"
Ou Minghan was slightly stunned. Ou Tiantian's words made sense. Although it might not be needed, having an extra fallback would put his mind at ease.
"Brother, I've been learning to cook recently. When you come, I'll cook for you myself~" Ou Tiantian looked at the camera, full of anticipation.
Ou Minghan's worries instantly eased. He had indeed been overthinking. Ou Tiantian only had him in her heart. Buying an island, how could she betray him?
"Oh? What have you learned?" Ou Minghan asked.
"All sorts of canned goods! Like chickpea cans, sardine cans, tomato cans. As long as you heat them up, they're edible and so convenient!" Ou Tiantian said excitedly. "So I bought a lot, enough for us to eat for half a year!"
Ou Minghan was disgusted. As expected, he shouldn't have had expectations for Ou Tiantian.
He said sternly, "Alright, the island is bought, but don't touch any other money!"
"Okay..." Ou Tiantian looked at the camera and asked pitifully, "Brother, when will you come to see me?"
