"Mom!"
When he opened the door, Xu Lin was wearing a red knit slip dress with white and blue stripes at the hem.
Upon seeing Xu Lin, Zhao Wenxuan threw his arms around her in a hug.
"Were you a good boy while you were out playing, or did you cause trouble?"
"No, I did whatever Uncle Lin told me to do. You can ask him if you don’t believe me."
Xu Lin didn’t ask. Knowing Lin Jiang’s personality, he wouldn’t tattle on the boy even if he had been disobedient.
"You two must be hungry. I’ve made dinner, so come and eat."
Xu Lin’s tone was gentle, like that of a virtuous wife.
"Mhm."
Lin Jiang turned and walked to the dining table. At the same time, a game notification appeared.

’I have 80 points now,’ he thought. ’The hot pot restaurant’s main quest should be finished soon, too. I’ll be able to pick a treasure right away.’
Before long, Xu Lin had placed the dishes on the table.
"Mom, I’m not that hungry. I want to eat later."
"Your grandma said she misses you. She’s coming to pick you up in a bit. If you don’t eat now, there won’t be anyone to cook for you when you get to her house."
Lin Jiang ate his food without a word.
’Xu Lin is always so thoughtful, arranging things in advance.’
"I want to go now!"
Now, Zhao Wenxuan refused to eat a single bite, his eyes sparkling.
"I want to go right now! Hurry up and have Grandma come get me!"
In his worldview, once he was at his grandma’s house, no one could boss him around. He could do whatever he wanted at night, which was way more fun than being at home.
Normally, Xu Lin would never spoil Zhao Wenxuan like this.
He would have to finish his meal before he could go.
But with Lin Jiang here, it wasn’t a normal situation.
’My parents won’t be able to leave for at least half an hour, and it would take them at least an hour to get here from there.’
’If Lin Jiang and I drive him over, we could save a lot of time...’
"All right, fine."
"Oh yeah! I’m going to Grandma’s house!"
With that, Zhao Wenxuan ran back to his room and grabbed two Ultraman figures and two little monsters, ready to leave at a moment’s notice.
"We can eat when we get back," Lin Jiang said.
Xu Lin snuck a glance at Lin Jiang, a hint of excitement stirring within her. "Let’s eat a little first. It’ll be cold when we get back."
"It’s fine. Let’s go."
"Mhm."
Since they were just going to her parents’ house, Xu Lin didn’t have anything to pack. She just stood up, grabbed her keys, and got ready to leave.
The three of them left together. Xu Lin took out the trash and threw it in the bin before getting into Lin Jiang’s car.
On the way, Zhao Wenxuan leaned forward, looking at Lin Jiang in the front seat.
"Uncle Lin, you should come to my house more often."
Xu Lin’s body tensed. She was starting to get nervous whenever Zhao Wenxuan spoke now, afraid he might say something completely outrageous.
"Why’s that?"
"I don’t know why, but whenever you come over, I get to go to Grandma’s house. If you come over more often, I can go to Grandma’s house all the time."
"Sure thing. Uncle Lin will listen to you."
A little over half an hour later, Lin Jiang pulled up to Xu Lin’s parents’ house.
Xu Lin took Zhao Wenxuan upstairs and came back down about ten minutes later.
Once she was in the car, Lin Jiang’s hand unconsciously found its way to her thigh as he drove out of the residential complex.
"Turn left, turn left! Don’t go straight..."
"Are you trying to go somewhere else?"
"Just listen to me."
Lin Jiang didn’t ask any more questions and followed Xu Lin’s directions: turn left, go straight, turn right...
He ended up driving into a small alley where there was not a soul in sight, not even a single parked car.
Seeing their surroundings, Lin Jiang knew what Xu Lin had in mind.
He parked the car and turned off the interior lights. Xu Lin knelt on the passenger seat and leaned over onto Lin Jiang’s lap.
The giant, peach-like rear she presented, with its huge contours, was like an arched dome, making it very hard for a man to restrain himself.
Lifting her skirt, Lin Jiang saw the style of her underwear—a T-string design. Bold and daring!
SMACK!
Lin Jiang raised his hand and brought it down with a slap!
The next morning, when Lin Jiang got up, Xu Lin was already making breakfast, dressed in a small white shirt and yoga pants.
Seeing Lin Jiang emerge from the room, she eagerly rushed over to him.
"Quick, look at my face! Doesn’t my skin look so much better?"
"It does. Even a guy like me can see the difference."
"I don’t care if you mess around outside, but from now on, you better save some for me."
"No problem."
"Go wash up. Breakfast is almost ready."
"Mhm."
Lin Jiang went to the bathroom, and by the time he came out, Xu Lin was setting a lavish breakfast on the dining table.
"Why aren’t you eating?" Lin Jiang asked, looking at Xu Lin.
"I’m so sleepy, I don’t have an appetite. I’ll take a nap after you leave and eat then."
"Did you get up too early? You don’t have to make breakfast for me in the future. I can just grab a bite outside."
"It has nothing to do with breakfast. You wore me out."
Xu Lin’s cheeks flushed slightly. "I could keep up for the first half, but after that, I don’t think I knew what was happening anymore. I was completely at your mercy."
"Isn’t that the desired effect?"
"Even though you’re young, I really wasn’t afraid of you at first," Xu Lin said.
"Not afraid? Thought you were tough stuff?"
"I’m a young mother who’s given birth, not some little girl."
Xu Lin laughed bashfully. "I thought I could handle you easily. I never expected that I’d perform worse each time. I haven’t even stopped going to the gym lately, and I’m still no match for you."
"Like the old saying goes, if you’re bad, you just need more practice."
"I’ve realized this isn’t about practice. You’re just a monster. No one can handle you."
Speaking of which, Xu Lin seemed to perk up.
"This time you went out, did anything happen with Teacher Jiang?"
Lin Jiang chuckled. "You seem to have always been very curious about the two of us."
"I know even if you don’t tell me. You must have conquered Teacher Jiang a long time ago."
"How did you know?"
"Teacher Jiang takes extra special care of Xuanxuan. If there was nothing between you two, I don’t believe she would look after him like that."
"The process isn’t important. It’s the results that matter."
"In the future, you should go have your fun with Teacher Jiang first, then come here. Otherwise, you’re going to be the death of this old sister."
"That’s no fun. Why don’t you two just do it together? We’ll see who lasts longer, see who performs better."
"I’m gonna pinch you! The more you talk, the more of a pervert you become."
Lin Jiang put down his chopsticks and patted Xu Lin’s butt. "I’m full. I’m heading out."
"Go on."
Xu Lin got up, straightened Lin Jiang’s clothes, and saw him to the door.
After he put on his shoes, she squatted down and adjusted his pant legs for him, acting very much the part of a virtuous wife.
"No matter how busy you are, make sure you eat properly."
As she spoke, Xu Lin lifted her head and turned her cheek toward him.
"I know."
After giving Xu Lin a light peck on the cheek, Lin Jiang drove away and headed to the company.
When the company employees saw Lin Jiang return, they all greeted him.
Lin Jiang nodded and went back to his office, calling He Siyao in.
"Master..."
"I sent you an email with a script. Print out ten copies, bind them, and then call Sister Xian in."
"Understood."
After receiving her task, He Siyao left. Before long, Chen Jingxian walked in.
As the company became more established, Chen Jingxian’s attire grew more formal. She had come to the company several times now, always wearing a suit and skirt set, setting an example for the other employees.
"What’s the situation with Huipin Mall?"
"They’re working on it with great urgency. From the looks of it, they want to turn their brand into a commercial complex. They’re gradually moving in that direction, and this is likely their first attempt."
"When do you think they’ll open?"
"Probably in two or three months. After attracting merchants, the storefronts will need to be renovated. All of that takes time."
"Looking at it that way, it’s very likely their opening will clash with ours."
Chen Jingxian nodded.
"We discussed this in a meeting. It’s a real possibility. After all, we’re their target. If they can push us out, they’ll have enough capital and confidence to venture into the commercial complex business."
"In that case, we have an obligation to nip their plans in the bud," Lin Jiang said.
"When you have a moment, hold a meeting with Yang Tao and the others. Order two to three times more stock and push the prices down further. In short, as long as we guarantee quality, the lower the price, the better."
"Order that much stock? Won’t that put too much pressure on us?"
Chen Jingxian looked worried as she expressed her thoughts.
"I understand your concerns, but at a time like this, we must be steady and deliberate. One wrong move and Huipin could seize the opportunity. It would be very difficult to make a comeback then."
"I’m already being very conservative. Just tell them to do it."
"Okay, I understand."
"Also, set aside a budget of 30 million for me. I’ve already secured a suitable script and plan to start working on that front soon."
"You got the script that quickly?"
"Of course. Don’t you know who I am?"
Chen Jingxian’s eyes glinted slyly. "Does that mean our President Lin is very... fast?"
Hmm?
Lin Jiang looked at Chen Jingxian. She would never have dared to say something so ambiguous and bold before.
’She’s probably gotten bolder after those two times we were together.’
Lin Jiang reached out, wrapped an arm around her waist, and placed his other hand on her butt, giving it a firm squeeze.
"Ah—!"
She let out a shriek!
Chen Jingxian quickly remembered she was in the office and clamped her mouth shut. Her gaze turned sultry as she slapped Lin Jiang lightly.
"You’re so audacious! This is the office."
"This is *my* office. Who’s going to stop me?"
"Using your status as the boss to bully people, are we?"
"You got that right."
"I’m not talking to you anymore. I’m going back to work."
Chen Jingxian left shyly, tugging at her skirt before she went out, afraid her colleagues outside might have seen something.
After Chen Jingxian left, He Siyao came in, holding a thick stack of A4 paper.
"Master, it’s all done."
He took one of the copies and flipped through it.
’The familiar lines were still interesting even after I’d read them many times. With a heaven-defying script like this in my hands, it would be hard for the box office to fail.’
He glanced at He Siyao, giving her a look. She immediately understood his meaning and came over to perform her kneeling service.
Lin Jiang enjoyed himself while flipping through the script, planning to show it to Fang Jie that evening.
After finishing the script, Lin Jiang called Qiu Yunong.
"Brother Jiang."
"How’s the cheerleading competition coming along? What stage are we at now?"
"The university tryouts have mostly finished. In a week, the provincial and city-level competitions will be held, followed by the national competition before the school year starts."
"Have you contacted any foreign universities?"
"We’re following up on that, and progress is pretty good. Several universities have expressed interest in collaborating. We’re also in contact with the CBA, but progress there isn’t ideal. I’ll think of something else to generate more buzz."
"Do your best to contact them. I’ve set up a media company over here and I’m preparing to shoot a movie. Tell the girls that those who perform exceptionally and have the talent will be offered contracts with the company, and they’ll even be given roles in the film."
"Got it. I’ll arrange it."
The two chatted for a while longer before Lin Jiang hung up and set his phone aside.
He looked at He Siyao with a smile. "Can’t hold back anymore?"
He Siyao’s eyes were filled with a sultry allure.
"This... how am I supposed to let you see...?"
"That’s up to you. I don’t know how I’m supposed to see either."
Stealing a glance at Lin Jiang, He Siyao’s face grew even redder.
She knew what Lin Jiang meant, and she knew how to let him see.
But the action was just too embarrassing.
He Siyao’s heart pounded. Seeing that Lin Jiang remained silent, she knew he was waiting for her response...
Quietly, He Siyao gently lifted the hem of her skirt and first peeled off her flesh-colored stockings...
"You can inspect it now..."
