Chapter 171 - 69: The Four Heavenly Kings, Team Building
"No need to think about it! We agree!"
Ten million a month, their own security company, and a chance to live a normal life—why wouldn’t they take it?
Jiang Li was overjoyed. She had expected to wait a few days but never thought they would agree so quickly.
"Alright. Since you agree, you can officially start tomorrow."
If she had been worried that her pregnancy would stop her from going out shopping, she wasn’t anymore. With these four mercenaries around, forget shopping—she wouldn’t even be afraid of traveling to less stable countries.
After dinner, once the bill was paid, Jiang Li wasted no time contacting Liu Qian. She asked her to print two contracts to be delivered to her home tomorrow and to register a security company.
The four mercenaries were named Xu Shijie, Wang He, Wei Chuan, and Fang Xu.
After asking for their input, they named the security company "Four Great Guardians Security Co., Ltd."
The name was actually Jiang Li’s suggestion.
At first, they wanted to use a combination of their own names for the company, but they realized none of the combinations sounded quite right. So Jiang Li suggested, "How about the Four Great Guardians?"
Her words received the four men’s enthusiastic approval.
Given their physiques and combat prowess, calling them the Four Great Guardians was no exaggeration.
Back home, after going upstairs, Jiang Li discovered that her vibrant four-piece bedding set had been replaced with a bright red one. There were even large "double happiness" characters pasted on the windows.
Shen Yanzhi helplessly pinched the bridge of his nose. "Don’t even have to think about it. My mom and the others must have done this."
Jiang Li clicked her tongue. "My parents probably had a hand in it too."
She didn’t believe that Jiang Bowen and Jing Shiyun were unaware of this.
Seeing the weariness on Jiang Li’s face, Shen Yanzhi couldn’t help but gently rub the top of her head. "Alright, it’s getting late. Go wash up. You’ve had a busy day, so get to bed early."
At his words, Jiang Li yawned, nodded, and headed for the walk-in closet.
’It’s so strange. I just took a nap this afternoon, but now I’m sleepy again.’
’Is this the pregnancy buff?’
She took a quick shower. While getting dressed, her gaze fell on a body lotion on the side named "Siren’s Call."
She couldn’t help but lick her lips. With a glint in her eye, she squeezed out two pumps.
When Jiang Li came out, Shen Yanzhi was sitting cross-legged on the tatami mat, holding his phone in one hand and diligently writing and sketching in a notebook with the other.
She watched for a while and saw that Shen Yanzhi seemed to be in a state of total concentration. She cleared her throat twice, and when he turned around, she couldn’t help but ask, "What are you doing?"
Shen Yanzhi slipped his phone back into his pocket, closed his notebook, and answered Jiang Li’s question as he walked over. "Oh, nothing much. Just looking up precautions for pregnancy."
Jiang Li found it a bit amusing. "Seriously? You’re still looking that up?"
’In Shen Yanzhi’s eyes, it feels like this is more than just a simple pregnancy.’
He had already filled his memo app with notes, and now he was writing things down in a notebook.
Shen Yanzhi’s gaze fell on Jiang Li’s lower abdomen, and his eyes narrowed. "You’re a national treasure right now. You must be served with the utmost care."
Jiang Li clicked her tongue and waved dismissively at Shen Yanzhi. "The national treasure is going to bed. Hurry up and go wash up."
’It’s just a pregnancy, and he’s calling me a national treasure.’
’It’s still just an embryo, probably not even the size of a mung bean. It’s hardly worth all this caution from Shen Yanzhi.’
Shen Yanzhi struck the pose of an ancient servant paying respects. "Right away! Your humble servant is on it!"
Jiang Li couldn’t help but let out a "PFFT" of laughter. "Seriously, Shen Yanzhi, what are you doing?"
He was acting like a completely different person. Anyone who didn’t know better would think a soul had transmigrated into him.
But she had to admit, he played the part pretty well.
If he were to put on eunuch clothes, he’d be indistinguishable from a real eunuch.
The image of Shen Yanzhi in eunuch clothes inexplicably popped into her head. She shook her head, grumbling internally: ’With his looks, if he were really a eunuch, he’d probably be the Director of the Eastern Depot.’
After all, his face and figure were beyond compare.
Shen Yanzhi, oblivious to Jiang Li’s thoughts, saw her grinning so wide her eyes crinkled shut. He rubbed his nose in embarrassment and explained awkwardly, "I read online that you’re supposed to keep a pregnant woman in a good mood. I didn’t know how to make you happy, so I figured I’d try a little bit of everything."
Jiang Li reached out and patted Shen Yanzhi’s shoulder. "Not bad. Keep it up, Xiao Yan."
Shen Yanzhi wished he could find a hole to crawl into, but if it made Jiang Li happy, a little embarrassment was nothing.
Just as he was about to go to the walk-in closet to get his pajamas, he heard Jiang Li say, "I’m ordering a set of eunuch clothes for you later."
