Liu Yiyi's boudoir was just as Lin Mo had imagined.

A faint fragrance of orchids filled the air.

It's not strong, but it's very alluring.

Lin Mo gently placed the person in his arms on the soft bed.

It feels very soft to the touch.

Lin Mo swallowed hard, his heart pounding uncontrollably.

The beautiful woman before me slept peacefully, her red lips slightly parted, her breathing even, and...

Completely unprepared!

He can do it right now, if he wants to...

bah bah bah!

Lin Mo, we won't take advantage of someone in distress!

He forcibly suppressed the rage in his heart, pulled over the brocade quilt beside him, and prepared to cover Liu Yiyi with it before leaving.

The moment the blanket was pulled over her head, Liu Yiyi's eyelashes trembled, and she slowly opened her eyes.

A pair of eyes, still hazy from just waking up, met Lin Mo's gaze in the candlelight, making his heart skip a beat.

"Awake?" Lin Mo asked, feigning composure.

"Um……"

Liu Yiyi responded lazily, her voice soft and sweet, making one's heart itch.

She rubbed her eyes and propped herself up to sit up.

The brocade quilt slid down her exquisite curves, revealing a section of her fair and slender neck and delicate collarbone.

"Did you carry me back?" she asked, tilting her head.

"Otherwise what?"

Lin Mo crossed his arms and began his usual banter.

"You sleep like a log, I can't wake you up no matter what I do. I can't just leave you alone in the carriage overnight, can I?"

"Pfft"

A soft laugh.

Instead of being annoyed, Liu Yiyi was amused.

She stretched out a big yawn.

This movement made her already stunning curves appear even more breathtaking.

I can't be bothered with you.

Liu Yiyi rolled her eyes at Lin Mo; her charm almost stole his soul.

"However... since you've been so considerate, I've decided to reward you."

award?

Lin Mo's eyes lit up.

Is this for real?

Could it be...?

Countless indescribable images flashed through Lin Mo's mind in an instant.

However, the next second, Liu Yiyi's actions shattered all his illusions.

She pulled out several neatly folded sheets of paper from her bosom.

"Come, sit down here."

Liu Yiyi patted the edge of the bed next to her, where her body heat was still present.

"I have an idea, can you give me your opinion?"

Lin Mo: "..."

No?

In the dead of night, a lone man and a lone woman...

So you pulled out the working blueprints?!

Liu Yiyi!

Is your brain missing a screw?

In this atmosphere, in this location, you want to talk to me about project progress?

You're a true business genius!

Lin Mo was internally ranting and raving, while verbally trying to find an excuse to slip away.

"Third Sister-in-law, isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

"It's not a good situation to leave in the first place, so I'd better go."

Liu Yiyi could easily tell that there was a hint of teasing in his words.

But she ignored him completely and continued to spread out the blueprints as if nothing had happened.

That stunningly beautiful face instantly switched to work mode, radiating seriousness and focus.

"Stop joking around, let's get down to business."

"Xiao Shi, I've thought it through."

"Keeping the secret of snowflake salt is the top priority of our plan, even more important than production itself."

Her slender fingers gently traced across the drawing.

"My idea is to build a high wall around the workshop, and then have my second sister select a group of loyal guards to patrol day and night."

"What do you think?"

Lin Mo looked at Liu Yiyi's sudden transformation into a business queen and felt somewhat helpless.

This woman is a true workaholic.

However, this method...

That's so outdated.

"Third sister-in-law, your method won't work."

Lin Mo shook his head.

Liu Yiyi frowned.

"No? What's wrong with it?"

"This is the tightest defense I can think of."

"You're protecting yourself from honest people, not from scoundrels."

Lin Mo walked to the bedside and looked at her and the blueprints.

True secrecy is not about preventing people from getting in.

Liu Yiyi looked puzzled: "So what do you mean?"

Lin Mo leaned closer, a smile playing on his lips.

True secrecy is not about preventing people from getting in.

"Instead, even if we let him in, he wouldn't understand it, and even if he did understand it, he wouldn't be able to learn it."

Even if you learn it, you can't take it with you.

Upon hearing this, Liu Yiyi was stunned.

Her brain raced as she tried to understand the sentence.

Even if you go in, you still won't understand?

Even if you understand it, you still can't learn it?

What kind of divine thinking is this?

Seeing her adorable, stunned expression, Lin Mo continued to explain:

"We use a modular, segmented secrecy method to break down the purification process into five independent steps."

"Each step is handled by a separate team, and these teams are located in different rooms."

"Each group only knows the small, simple operation they are responsible for."

For example, "add two buckets of water to the pool," or "pour in these dark sludges and stir them up."

"They don't know who did what in the previous step, let alone what will happen next."

"Everyone is just an insignificant cog in the chain."

Liu Yiyi understood instantly.

Wonderful!

Even if someone bribes a worker, all they get is a meaningless puzzle piece.

To obtain the complete technology, you would have to bribe everyone involved!

Liu Yiyi's gaze towards Lin Mo changed.

[Liu Yiyi's intimacy level +5]

"That's not enough."

A pleasant notification sound rang in Lin Mo's mind.

"We can also set off some smoke bombs."

"For example, in the second step, 'initial filtering,' we can deliberately add some insignificant things."

"Then they claimed that this was our family's secret recipe, the key to removing the 'bitterness' from the salt."

"That way, even if a spy infiltrates, the intelligence he takes out will have been corrupted by us."

"Those imitators will spend countless amounts of money and energy researching those completely useless secrets."

Ultimately, it may lead to a dead end.

Upon hearing these words, Liu Yiyi was taken aback at first, then burst out laughing.

That smile, like a hundred flowers in full bloom, stunned Lin Mo for a moment.

"Xiao Shi, what exactly is going on in your head?"

Liu Yiyi laughed so hard she nearly collapsed onto the fragrant bed.

"You're truly... wicked to the core!"

Liu Yiyi's eyes were full of alluring charm, making Lin Mo's heart itch.

"However," she changed the subject, her red lips curving slightly upward.

"I like."

[Liu Yiyi's intimacy level +5]

I rely on?

Add again?

This woman, though she says I'm bad, her body... oh no, I mean her level of intimacy, is quite honest!

Lin Mo felt secretly delighted.

"and then?"

After laughing enough, Liu Yiyi sat up straight and curiously leaned closer.

A delicate, orchid-like fragrance enveloped Lin Mo.

"What do you mean by 'can't take it with you'?"

"This is even simpler."

Lin Mo sat down on the edge of the bed, and the distance between the two instantly closed.

He could even see the fine downy hairs on Liu Yiyi's fair face.

And that faint blush that rose from excitement.

"Third Sister-in-law, come closer, I'll draw it for you."

Lin Mo didn't stand on ceremony and pointed directly to the smooth bed sheet.

Liu Yiyi was taken aback, and then her pretty face turned red.

This guy, is he really using his bed as a canvas?
