There is a Wenshan Manor on the outskirts of the city. It is an old-fashioned garden with small bridges, flowing water, birdsong, and fragrant flowers. Walking in feels like stepping back in time.
Manager Wu of the manor stood guard at the entrance with a bright smile on his face. He immediately stepped forward when he saw the group of people approaching.
"Good evening, Mr. Fu."
Fu Jingyao nodded slightly and introduced the person beside him, "She is my wife."
Manager Wu was very enthusiastic. "I had heard that President Fu had married a beautiful and elegant wife. Seeing her today, I can confirm it. She is even more beautiful than in the photos."
"Hello," Lin Xi said calmly, "That's an exaggeration."
"It's no exaggeration at all, Madam is the most beautiful person I've ever seen in my life," Manager Wu said, rattling off a string of compliments.
As a member of the Fu Group, although he was not in the capital, he kept a close eye on the activities in the small group.
Upon learning that President Fu was coming to Wuhai City for tourism, we made preparations early in the morning and were just waiting for their arrival.
Manager Wu was extremely excited and extended a hand, "Madam, it's a pleasure to meet you."
A handshake is a courtesy between people. Lin Xi raised her left hand, polite but distant.
"Nice to meet you."
Just as their hands were about to touch, Manager Wu's hair stood on end. He quickly withdrew his hand and took two or three steps back.
A major taboo in the workplace: How could you hold your boss's wife's hand in front of your boss?!
Fortunately, he realized it at the last second.
Manager Wu was a little embarrassed and quickly changed the subject, "President Fu and his wife are so lucky to have five adorable children. Are they quintuplets?"
Xiao Jin answered skillfully, "No, thank you."
The atmosphere suddenly became awkward, and Manager Wu tried to salvage the situation by saying, "The young master looks a lot like President Fu, and he exudes an air of dominance at such a young age."
Xiao Jin's face was indifferent, her mouth opening and closing like a machine, "No, not biologically related, thank you."
Manager Wu was speechless, facing the biggest challenge of his career.
It's one thing for the boss to be difficult, but his child is just as difficult, with the same fastidious personality. They must be his biological children.
If the two people, one big and one small, are not father and son, he will livestream himself eating a keyboard in the company's small group chat.
Manager Wu, though his mind was racing, maintained a cheerful smile on his face. "President Fu, Madam, young masters, young ladies, please follow me."
As he walked, he explained, "The naturally formed spring water is rich in various minerals, and it is warm in winter and cool in summer. It has the effects of beautifying the skin, nourishing the body, and strengthening the body."
"Wash it every day and your skin will be smooth and delicate."
"Soak in it every day, and you'll be in great shape."
Manager Wu pushed open an antique-style door. "The first dozen or so pools are open to tourists, while the three pools in the back are private and managed by a professional."
As the door opened, a warm mist rushed out, and steam rose from the pool, creating an atmosphere as if one were in a fairyland.
A hint of surprise flashed in Lin Xi's eyes, "This manor is yours too?"
“Xixi, you’ve forgotten again.” Fu Jingyao lowered his eyes and said, word by word, “It’s ours.”
The winters in the capital are dry and cold, and his grandparents preferred to stay in the south for a month or two, so he bought this hot spring pool.
What started as a small stone pond has been transformed into a secluded manor.
Manager Wu was very perceptive. "I'll go back to work first and won't disturb President Fu and his wife."
He ran a few steps and then came back. "Friendly reminder: the soundproofing of the hot spring rooms is perfect. If you need anything, please press the call bell on the wall."
Have a nice evening, bye-bye.
Xiao Mu grinned crookedly, "Something's off with the manager. We're kindred spirits."
Xiao Tu asked curiously, "Your smile is really lewd. Is something wrong with the manager? Should we arrest him and interrogate him?"
Xiao Mu shook his head and said, "I'm not going to say anything more, let's go soak in the hot springs."
He jumped into the hot spring pool on his own initiative and exclaimed comfortably, "Mmm~ This is great, you guys come down quickly."
The four little elves didn't move, but turned to look at Lin Xi. "Master, can we soak in this?"
Lin Xi didn't know either, "Ask Bao."
The little elves asked again, "Baby, is it okay?"
“Of course you can.” Fu Jingyao carried a large box out from behind the partition. “There are clothes, snacks, and fruit inside. Take whatever you like.”
Xiao Tu looked down and saw that the box was filled with children's swimsuits, life rings, rubber ducks, bubble machines, and so on.
He grabbed five little yellow ducks and threw them into the pool, then lay flat in the water, splashing water incredibly high.
Xiao Mu was soaked from head to toe, but luckily, the wood was waterproof, so her clothes didn't get wet.
He wiped the water off his face. "Keep your movements small. You'll get a zero if you go diving."
"I'm super awesome!"
Xiao Tu sank to the bottom of the pool, tried to paddle like a dog, and kicked hard with his hands and feet, but it was no use.
The sweet spring water filled his mouth and nose, and he cried out for help, "Oh no, I can't swim..."
Xiao Jin leaped into the water and quickly submerged to the bottom, lifting the disheveled Xiao Tu with one hand.
Are you alright?
Xiao Tu shook his head and frantically spat out spring water, "Thank you, Brother Jin."
Xiao Shui forcefully threw out a lifebuoy, saying, "If you can't swim, please put on a lifebuoy."
Xiao Huo made a face. "Tu Tu is so useless. He needs Brother Jin to save him in such shallow water. What a joke."
Xiao Shui glanced at him and said, "If you're so capable, then get down here."
Xiao Huo looked disdainful, "Fine, I'll go..."
Before he could finish speaking, a force pushed him down, and spring water from all directions enveloped his entire body.
The small fire went out instantly. "Water beats fire, and I can't swim! Help!!"
Xiao Shui's lips twitched. She tossed aside the lifebuoy and mocked without any restraint, "Haha, Huo Huo is really useless."
Little Fire was extremely depressed and slumped onto the lifebuoy, feeling utterly dejected.
The little elves were having a great time, and Lin Xi watched with envy, wanting to join them in the water.
Fu Jingyao grabbed her wrist and casually said, "Xixi, let me help you change your clothes."
Lin Xi blinked. "Change clothes?"
Fu Jingyao curled his lips into a smile, "You should naturally change into your swimsuit when soaking in a hot spring, it's more... convenient."
Lin Xi nodded. "Okay."
The clothes she's wearing now can't get wet; she doesn't have the fairy's waterproof ability.
Changing clothes is indeed convenient.
Lin Xi followed Fu Jingyao to the next room and immediately saw the "clothes" with very little fabric.
She lifted the thin strap, her expression one of utter astonishment. "The clothes you prepared?!"
Fu Jingyao remained unfazed. "These are all swimsuit styles. The manager just grabbed one at random. If you don't like it, I'll have someone change it."
"No need to bother." Lin Xi immediately regretted saying that. "It would be bad if the little elf saw it. It looks so lewd. I'd rather not try to pick her up."
The man's dark eyes were deep and his voice held a hint of provocation, "We won't go back next door, we'll go somewhere else."
