[You have completed a high-intensity morning workout. Physique +1.]
It was already past seven when Lin Jiang returned.
After opening the door, he found Zhao Fangfei was still sleeping.
'Was she that exhausted? She didn't even hear the door open?'
Lin Jiang felt refreshed and invigorated after his morning workout.
One of the benefits of his increased Physique was the ability to engage in continuous, high-intensity combat.
Of course, this was also thanks to the boost from his Pure Yang Physique and Silver-level Kidney.
'I'm already this strong now. If I raise the level of my kidneys even higher...' Lin Jiang didn't dare to imagine just how powerful he would become.
'Maybe then, I could really take on eight at once.'
Just as he finished washing up, he heard Zhao Fangfei let out a soft moan.
"Brother Jiang..."
Wiping his face, Lin Jiang walked out.
He saw Zhao Fangfei lying on the bed, her arms open wide.
"Brother Jiang, I want a hug."
Lin Jiang got back into bed and hugged Zhao Fangfei.
She wrapped her arms tightly around Lin Jiang's neck, offered him a sweet kiss, and began her work.
BGM: A new storm is brewing, how can we afford to stand still...
The successive tidal waves subsided two hours later.
After that series of maneuvers, Lin Jiang stretched his body. While he wasn't completely drained, he did need a little rest.
After a quick clean-up, the two of them packed their things, went to the hotel restaurant for breakfast, and prepared to check out and head back.
"Look at the time. Why are you still yawning so much?" Zhao Fangfei asked.
"He pissed me off, so I went to bed a little late last night," Feng Qi said, looking a bit guilty.
"Let's not talk about him. Let's just eat and go, so I don't have to run into him."
"Run into who?"
"Zhou Sui called me this morning. He apologized and said he was coming to pick me up, but I don't really want to see him."
"Since he apologized, don't hold it against him."
"No way. I have to teach him a lesson."
The two of them didn't dwell on the matter, as it didn't have much to do with them.
After a quick bite, the three of them went to check out and walked out of the hotel together.
Just as they stepped outside, they saw Zhou Sui, holding a bouquet of flowers.
Lin Jiang looked at him. 'He's a rich kid with a bit of money, at least.'
'Does he have to be such a simp?'
"What are you doing here? I told you not to pick me up."
Seeing Zhou Sui, Feng Qi gave him the cold shoulder, her anger flaring up.
At first, she hadn't been that angry, since their relationship wasn't that deep to begin with.
But the more she thought about the "breakfast" Lin Jiang had provided, the more disgruntled she became.
'Fangfei didn't get to sleep until past one in the morning; you can imagine how "full" she was.'
'Then, just a few hours later, he filled her up again, to the point she was practically stuffed.'
'That kind of powerful ability left Zhou Sui in the dust, a million miles behind.'
With such a massive gap between them, the sight of Zhou Sui became even more irritating to her.
"I admit I was wrong. I was a bit impulsive yesterday. I'll take you shopping and out to dinner tonight. I'll buy you whatever you want as an apology."
"We'll see how I feel."
"Alright, lovers' quarrels are quick to mend. Just go with Zhou Sui," Zhao Fangfei persuaded.
"Fine, for your sake, I won't stoop to his level."
Feng Qi was quite pragmatic about it. 'Might as well treat him like an ATM.'
The two groups got into their respective cars and headed toward the city.
On the way back, neither car waited for the other; they each drove on their own.
When he dropped Zhao Fangfei off at her place, Feng Qi was nowhere to be seen.
"You should head back. I won't come up."
Zhao Fangfei looked at Lin Jiang, reluctant to let him go.
"Brother Jiang, are you going to be busy from now on?"
"I am, yes."
"When you're not busy, remember to call me."
Zhao Fangfei looked at Lin Jiang and said very seriously,
"If there's anything I can do, just let me know. I'll complete any task you give me, guaranteed quality and quantity."
"Don't worry, I won't hold back."
"Brother Jiang, I have one more question for you. You have to answer me honestly."
"What is it? Go ahead."
"Between me and President Qin... who performed better?"
"Do you have to rank everything?"
"Aiya, that's not what I meant," Zhao Fangfei said coyly.
"I just want to do better, to make you happy."
"You're already doing great. As for whether you can do even better... that depends on if you can come up with more interesting ways to play."
"Brother Jiang, you're so naughty! I used everything I learned from the movies on you, and you're still not satisfied?"
"You live and you learn."
"Aiya, I get it now. I'll make you happy."
"Good girl."
"Mwah~"
Lin Jiang drove away, and Zhao Fangfei stared blankly at his taillights.
She knew that the most effective way to keep Lin Jiang was to keep things interesting so he wouldn't lose interest in her.
So!
'I have to think of more interesting, more exciting ways to play. That's the only way to keep him.'
He glanced at his watch. It was already past two in the afternoon. Instead of going back to the noodle shop, Lin Jiang drove to the office.
On the way, he received a call from Lin Qiangwei.
"President Lin, are you free for dinner tonight?"
Zhao Fangfei had a 'green tea' quality to her speech, always tugging at one's heartstrings.
But when Lin Qiangwei spoke, her voice was utterly bewitching.
It was mixed with the cool, aloof tone of a mature queen. An ordinary man would find it impossible to resist and could easily end up played like a fiddle in the palm of her hand.
A woman like her was, one could say, a natural-born femme fatale.
"Time and place."
"The Hilton, perhaps? I haven't had a good steak in a while. But..." Lin Qiangwei said in a seductive voice.
"Spit it out."
"President Lin, you're not gentle at all. Hasn't anyone ever told you to be a little gentler with a lady?"
