Chapter 108

Chu Tianhe smiled faintly and asked, “Are you happy, Yao Yao?”

“Happy!!” Yao Yao nodded eagerly, then said, “Daddy, I want to touch the moon!”

Children are naturally innocent, and Yao Yao truly believed that standing on such a tall building, she could actually reach out and touch the moon.

“Yao Yao, the moon is still very far away from us. We can’t touch it,” Qin Xiaomeng said with a smile as she crouched down to explain.

“Oh, I see!” Yao Yao’s face fell slightly in disappointment. She had thought that once she came up here, she would be able to touch the moon, but she hadn’t realized it was still so far away—impossible to reach.

“No, if Yao Yao really wants to touch the moon, she can!” At that moment, a woman’s voice rang out, instantly drawing everyone’s attention. It was Wang Yanyan!

“Aunt Wang!” Yao Yao’s face brightened again at Wang Yanyan’s arrival. Since meeting her last time at the Mu residence in South China, Yao Yao had grown very fond of Wang Yanyan and felt a strong sense of closeness.

“Miss Wang, don’t speak nonsense!” Mu Sihai’s expression darkened. How could touching the moon ever be possible?

“Mr. Mu, children are simple; with a little patience, they’re easy to please,” Wang Yanyan responded politely. Mu Xue had already instructed that Wang Yanyan’s most important task in Jiangzhou was to maintain a good relationship with Chu Tianhe, and Wang Yanyan was diligently carrying out those orders.

Still, Mu Sihai frowned deeply, worried that Wang Yanyan might mess things up and damage the Mu family’s reputation in Chu Tianhe’s eyes.

“Father, trust those you employ; if you doubt them, don’t use them. Since Wang Yanyan said so, let her have a try. It won’t hurt—and anyway, this is something impossible to accomplish. Even if it goes wrong, Mr. Chu probably won’t blame us,” Mu Xue whispered from the side.

Mu Sihai had dominated the business world for years. Though experienced, he was now in his twilight years and more cautious than in his youth.

Mu Xue, on the other hand, was young, sharp-minded, and full of vigor. If not for her daring to break conventions, the Mu family would never have gained the chance to forge a relationship with Chu Tianhe.

Therefore, Mu Sihai did not oppose Mu Xue’s suggestion. He simply nodded to Wang Yanyan and said, “Then go ahead and try.”

Wang Yanyan quickly stepped in front of Yao Yao and smiled warmly. “Yao Yao, do you want to touch the moon, right?”

“Yes.” Yao Yao nodded, then added, “But Aunt Qin said the moon is very, very far away. We can’t touch it!”

“As long as you want to, you can definitely touch it. Trust Auntie, okay?” Wang Yanyan’s gentle smile and voice were like spring breezes caressing the skin—so tender and friendly they instantly reassured.

“All right!!” Yao Yao’s eyes sparkled, and she nodded vigorously at the thought of being able to touch the moon.

At that moment, Chu Tianhe turned his gaze to Wang Yanyan and said, “Miss Wang, I’d also very much like to know how you intend to make the young lady touch the moon in the sky.”
