The next morning, Qiu Tong was on the sofa scrolling through the information on the Dark Web, hoping to find some lucrative bounty missions.

Qiu Xingyu sat down close to her. Curious, she stole a glance at the screen that was flashing with information. She realized that they were recruitment notices regarding underground combat.

Qiu Xingyu immediately sat up in shock. She held Qiu Tong’s phone with both hands and shook her head worriedly.

“Mommy! Do you need money? I have a lot. Can you not do anything dangerous?”

Qiu Xingyu’s voice was very loud. When Qiu Xingyuan and Qiu Xingqiao heard her, they hurriedly ran over.

The three pairs of scrutinizing eyes stared fixedly at Qiu Tong. Qiu Tong rubbed the top of Little Yu’s head with mixed emotions and comforted them. “Mommy is just bored…”

Qiu Xingyuan frowned and pursed his thin lips as he crossed his arms. Clearly, he did not believe her explanation.

Qiu Xingqiao moved quickly. He ran to the bedroom and took out their pink piggy bank. He raised it above his head, wanting to smash it.

Qiu Tong hurriedly stopped him. She understood that the children were worried about her safety and were being overly cautious.

The children of the Qiu family appeared more mature and smarter than their peers. But they had experienced several gun fights and kidnappings. They were still suffering from the psychological trauma.

Qiu Xingyu would still wake up from her nightmares and run to her room to hug her to sleep.

Qiu Tong hesitated for a moment before explaining in a way that they could accept, “You guys are outstanding. Mommy is proud of you.”

“But does Mommy want to be trapped at home every day and rely on you guys to earn money to support the family? I also need to prove my worth and have some social interaction, right? Mommy needs to know some new friends and colleagues, just like how you have friends.”

Qiu Xingqiao and Qiu Xingyuan looked at each other, and their furrowed brows relaxed a little.

Qiu Xingyuan still had a stern expression on his face as he snatched the phone away. He said in a stiff voice, “Any job you take will require our approval!”

Qiu Xingyu nodded hurriedly. She lifted her little finger to make Qiu Tong pinky swear. “It can’t be dangerous!”

“You have to stay at home with us during the weekends. Your working hours have to be stable, and the boss has to…”

Qiu Tong watched in amusement as the children listed the conditions. Her lips curled into a blissful smile.

Late at night, Jin Yang and Shao An rushed back after finishing their work. When he returned to his bedroom, he took out a blank check that he had casually filled out and placed it by the bed.

Qiu Tong came out of the bathroom and looked at him in surprise.

Jin Yang hugged her slender waist and sniffed the fragrance of the shower gel on her body. He said in a hoarse voice, “I heard that you need money. You can tell me directly. We’re husband and wife…”

Qiu Tong pouted and pushed him away, looking at him seriously. “My relationship with you is not one of reliance.”

“Money for household expenses, as well as the payments to Ke Le and housekeeper will come from you, but I hope to handle some private matters by myself. After all, you have no obligation or responsibility to bear it for me. I want our relationship to be more simple.”

Qiu Tong stared at him with clear eyes. These words sounded heartless and hurtful.

However, Jin Yang understood that this was Qiu Tong’s own way of protecting herself. She was used to relying on herself and not others.

Jin Yang had to give her time to chance and learn to rely more on him.

He kept the check apologetically and apologized sincerely to her.

Qiu Tong stood on tip-toe and planted a light kiss on his lips, blinking as she silently expressed her longing for him.

Jin Yang bent down to pick her up. He pushed aside a glass bottle on the bar and slowly lowered Qiu Tong onto it.

Just as the two of them were about to continue, the phone by the bed started vibrating.

Qiu Tong wiped the traces of her lipstick off Jin Yang’s lips and answered the call.

“Hello? Are you Madam Qiu?”

“I’m the General Manager’s assistant from the Liqing Corporation. The company is hiring a personal bodyguard for the General Manager. Are you interested in an interview?”

Terrence’s deep voice came from the other end. Qiu Tong’s eyes widened in surprise. She took out Jin Yang’s phone from his pocket and quickly searched for information about Liqing Corporation. She realized that the Liqing Corporation was a legitimate company.

She readily agreed. “Alright, I’ll be there on time tomorrow.”

The steamy atmosphere in the bedroom had mostly dissipated. Jin Yang held Qiu Tong in his arms as the two of them examined the information about the Liqing Corporation.

Qiu Tong turned her head slightly and rubbed her head against Jin Yang’s chin. Jin Yang hugged her tightly, feeling a little ticklish.

She held Jin Yang’s finger and pointed at the screen. “Do you know them?”

Jin Yang let her fiddle with his fingertips as his Adam’s apple bobbed twice. He replied, “More than half of the overseas corporations who want to have a firm foothold in this country are in collusion with a terrorist organization, or dealing in illegal weapons or pharmaceuticals. The Liqing Corporation has only started expanding in recent years. We can’t be sure of their motives for wanting to develop a branch in S City.”

“Are you sure you want to apply to be a bodyguard there?”

Jin Yang twirled Qiu Tong’s curly hair worriedly.

Qiu Tong’s eyes sparkled as she answered with a smile, “Of course. I need money and they’re willing to pay me handsomely.”

“And I can help you gather some information.. There’s no reason to refuse.”
