Alright, time for a bath!

He thought to himself that after running under the big sun all day, both of them were sweating profusely and a bit drunk. It really wouldn't be good to sleep like this!

Who should bathe first?

Wang Xiaoqiang's gaze shifted back and forth between the two, ultimately settling on Jenny.

He'd bathe Jenny first, after all, she came into his life before Xia. There's a logic to doing things in order, right?

So, Wang Xiaoqiang decided to bathe Jenny first.

The presidential suite not only had a large room but also a rather spacious bathroom. With three showerheads and two bathtubs—one large and one small. The small could fit two people, while the large one had room for three, probably intended for a family of three.

However, Wang Xiaoqiang felt that even three adults bathing together wouldn't find it too cramped.

Wang Xiaoqiang filled the large bathtub with water and then placed Jenny in it.

At that moment, Xia also barged into the bathroom. Xia was a better drinker than Jenny. She had slept for a bit and had sobered up, but still felt very dizzy. She couldn't quite tell where she was, not that she was in the mood to figure it out. Feeling sticky with sweat, she just wanted to take a bath first. Since the suite had only one bathroom, Xia didn't get lost and just plunged straight into the bathroom. Once inside, she saw Wang Xiaoqiang bathing Jenny, a surge of jealousy hit her, so she went up to them, trying to pull them apart...

Seeing Xia burst in, Wang Xiaoqiang also felt a bit awkward. When he saw her blindly trying to separate them and failing, he had no choice but to bathe both of them at the same time.

...

The news of Wang Xiaoqiang winning the horse race in Melbourne spread quickly throughout Australia and the world. Of course, Yesang Ranch, Xia Ranch, and Yageshen Ranch were well aware. When Wang Xiaoqiang returned triumphantly riding Black Whirlwind, the workers from the three major ranches held a grand welcome ceremony, with dozens of workers in their finest clothes, greeting him with drums and gongs.

The big sale of Kobe Beef earned Wang Xiaoqiang quite a profit. Seeing the workers so enthusiastic, he announced on the spot that he would raise their wages. In fact, the wage increase had been part of Wang Xiaoqiang's plans all along. The ranch was prospering, and as he made money, he naturally thought of his workers.

Hearing that the boss was raising wages, the workers' morale soared. Little Xu Xiaoya prepared a meal to welcome Wang Xiaoqiang back and indulge his taste buds. Little Xu Xiaoya and Zheng Ru joined him for the meal.

Suddenly, Little Xu Xiaoya felt nauseous. Covering her mouth with her hand, she abruptly stood up, then turned around and rushed to the washroom. At the sink, she began to violently vomit, her reaction quite severe.

After a while, Little Xu Xiaoya washed her mouth and returned to the table, her face flushed.

Wang Xiaoqiang asked, "What's wrong, Little Ya?"

"Don't know," Little Xu Xiaoya stole a glance at Zheng Ru and answered.

Zheng Ru curiously stared at Little Xu Xiaoya with a somewhat teasing expression. She thought Little Xu Xiaoya was pregnant but was curious because Wang Xiaoqiang had Xia Guifang and already had a child with her. Even though Little Xu Xiaoya liked Wang Xiaoqiang, and overseas they were like husband and wife, she wouldn't go as far as to have his child, right?

"Well, let's continue eating!" Wang Xiaoqiang said.

Little Xu Xiaoya sat down but couldn't eat anymore. The sight of food made her want to throw up. So she made an excuse and returned to her room. After Wang Xiaoqiang finished eating and Zheng Ru was tidying up the dishes, he went back to his room to find Little Xu Xiaoya sitting on the bed, her hand resting on her stomach, her face full of joy and anxiety.

"What's the matter, baby?" Wang Xiaoqiang hugged Little Xu Xiaoya and asked.

Little Xu Xiaoya suddenly turned around, her fists pounding on Wang Xiaoqiang's chest, "You bad man, you got me pregnant..."

Little Xu Xiaoya, being a grandmaster, of course knew she was pregnant.

"Hey, don't you want to have my baby?" he asked.

"As if it's so easy to just say 'let's have a baby.' Do you think it's that cheap?" Little Xu Xiaoya stared at Wang Xiaoqiang with mixed feelings of love, hate, joy, and annoyance.

"So, what do you want?" he asked.

"Hmph. I want you to marry me and treat me well for the rest of my life," Little Xu Xiaoya said.

"Come on, I'm not even of legal age to get married yet..." Wang Xiaoqiang responded.

"Then you have to treat me well for the rest of your life," she said.

"Haven't I treated you well enough?" Wang Xiaoqiang kissed Little Xu Xiaoya on the face.

"No, that won't do," Little Xu Xiaoya grabbed Wang Xiaoqiang's hand, "no, Little Qiang, that's not good for the baby."

Wang Xiaoqiang knew it wasn't good for the baby, so he let the matter drop.

"You should go out for a bit..." Little Xu Xiaoya suggested.

"Okay then!" Wang Xiaoqiang nodded, then stepped out of the villa. As soon as he walked out, he heard someone calling him, "Brother Qiang, come over for some coffee..."

When Wang Xiaoqiang looked up, he saw Zheng Ru sitting in the villa garden, brewing coffee.

In the moonlight, Zheng Ru, draped in a white dress, her black hair floating gently with the night breeze, exuded a peaceful aura, presenting the image of a girl-next-door.

Wang Xiaoqiang walked over and sat down at the table. Zheng Ru glanced at him with sparkling eyes and said, "Brother Qiang, congratulations... you're going to have another precious child... Just have a few more. Aim for seven sons to wish for longevity..."

"Haha, I'd want to, but no one wants to have them with me..." Wang Xiaoqiang joked. "Just now, I even got scolded by your Sister ya..."

"What? Sister ya doesn't want children?" Zheng Ru served the freshly brewed coffee, pouring a cup for Wang Xiaoqiang.

"Hmph, she doesn't want to this time, but she'll have to." Wang Xiaoqiang said. "I don't like to see women aborting children; that's a sign of a man's incompetence. Is raising a child really that difficult?"

"Ha, you're the one talking without back pain. Let those who break their backs working hard say that; they really couldn't. Do you know how hard it is to raise a child nowadays, how much it costs..."

Wang Xiaoqiang smiled smugly, lifted the coffee and took a gulp, "Mmm, this coffee is fragrant..."

"Hehe, who drinks coffee like you do? You should drink coffee like tea, savoring it slowly..." Zheng Ru teased, watching Wang Xiaoqiang with a playful smile.

"Ah, I really can't get into that bourgeois sentimentality, I'm just a farmer!" Wang Xiaoqiang said, laughing at himself.

"Have another cup..." Zheng Ru poured him another.

"No, no more for me, this stuff keeps me up at night..." Suddenly, Wang Xiaoqiang's cup jerked, and coffee spilled out, splashing onto Zheng Ru's delicate fingers.

"Ah!" Zheng Ru shrieked, frowning slightly. There was something pitifully appealing about her frown.

"Are you okay," Wang Xiaoqiang put down his cup, took her hand, brought it to his lips, and blew on it gently, releasing a bit of Water Element Spiritual Qi in the process. The Spiritual Qi not only served to clean but also to cool, removing the coffee from her hand and easing the pain from the burn.

"Huh, it doesn't hurt anymore..." Zheng Ru's hand was held by Wang Xiaoqiang, flushing her pretty face slightly, but she instinctively protested because Wang Xiaoqiang's breath had not only sent a wave of heat over her face but had genuinely relieved the pain. It was as though his breath held a magical power.

"Hoo hoo..." Hearing it was no longer painful, Wang Xiaoqiang blew on it again.

"Alright, Brother Qiang, it doesn't hurt anymore..." Seeing Wang Xiaoqiang continually blowing, Zheng Ru withdrew her finger and poked his forehead, speaking in a coy voice.

"Such beautiful hands shouldn't be marked by scars..." By this time, Wang Xiaoqiang had noticed how attractive Zheng Ru's fingers were, long and well-proportioned, fine yet delicate, it was not an exaggeration to describe them as jade-like. He genuinely meant what he said.

"Cut it out, I'm not as delicate as you're making me out to be..." Seeing Wang Xiaoqiang praising her, Zheng Ru felt a sweetness in her heart and couldn't help but throw him a flirtatious look.

That look electrified Wang Xiaoqiang, prompting him to quickly lower his head.

"Brother Qiang, how can a big man like you still be shy..." Zheng Ru giggled, her laughter shaking like the boughs of a tree, sweet and melodious, particularly enchanting in the still of the night, ringing beautifully like chimes...

Wang Xiaoqiang was still very innocent, afraid that Little Xu Xiaoya would hear the laughter and get jealous, so he turned and said, "Uh, it's getting late, I should go to sleep. Plus, your Sister ya is newly pregnant and needs someone with her at night..."

But before he could take a step, Zheng Ru caught his hand and said, "Brother Qiang, I'll tell you the truth. It was Sister ya who asked me to talk with you. She, she thinks you might be bored..."

"Uh..." Wang Xiaoqiang was taken aback. However, he couldn't understand why he would feel bored, and just as he was puzzling over it, Zheng Ru added, "Brother Qiang, Sister ya said that the early stages of pregnancy are very risky. In other words, it's not the safe period, if you get my meaning...?"

Wang Xiaoqiang immediately understood. Little Xu Xiaoya was worried he would touch her and harm the child, but he then feigned ignorance and asked, "Uh, is that what ya told you?"

"Could it be false..." Zheng Ru replied. "She asked me to keep you company..."

Upon hearing this, Wang Xiaoqiang felt a shock in his heart. 'Keep me company', what does that mean?

Zheng Ru laughed. "She asked me to chat with you, pass the time until you feel sleepy, then you can go back to sleep..."

"Oh," Wang Xiaoqiang realized and heaved a sigh of relief to himself, thinking it's better to skip the 'keeping company' part to maintain his innocence.

At that moment, Zheng Ru, full of curiosity, asked, "Brother Qiang, how did you and Sister ya meet?"

Faced with her question, Wang Xiaoqiang remembered his first intimate encounter with Little Xu Xiaoya. He had just gained his superpower, not knowing it was the Five Elements Spiritual Spring. He went to Little Xu Xiaoya's clinic to get treated, and when she examined him, she touched places she shouldn't have. That moment was so embarrassing, and looking back on it felt as vivid as if it happened right before him, truly an unforgettable and trenchant memory. Hence, Wang Xiaoqiang smiled, "If we're talking about acquaintance, we knew each other when she came to our village to be a health worker, but that was just a general acquaintance. It all changed after I fell ill and sought her treatment. That's when we got to know each other more closely..."

"So who pursued whom in the end?" Zheng Ru asked with a smile.

"To be precise, I guess she pursued me," Wang Xiaoqiang boasted proudly.

"Brother Qiang, you're not telling the truth, are you? Sister ya is a girl from the city; she's beautiful, educated, and knows how to treat people. How could she fall for a country bumpkin like you, especially when you were not yet successful at the time?" Zheng Ru countered with a laugh.

"Yes, at the time, ya was the belle of the village. Aunt Big Mouth wanted to match-make us, and I didn't agree. However, after Xia Guifang and I got close, ya got jealous. When I saw her jealousy, I knew she liked me. At the time, she seemed to be struggling, so I helped her, got her a job as a health worker at my factory. From then on, ya started to chase after me actively, haha..." Wang Xiaoqiang laughed.
