Jiang Xiaoli was taken aback. She realized that Yang Guang was overthinking things, but she didn't say anything.
After Chen Ting finished tidying up Yang Xingkang's room, the dinner Jiang Xiaoli had ordered arrived.
She explained, "Since you've just arrived, we won't make you any more trouble. I'll show you around the area and introduce you to the surrounding environment later."
Chen Ting thanked her repeatedly, "Xiao Li, you've thought of everything so thoughtfully!"
She smiled and said, "If you encounter any problems in your life, just contact me. I will try my best to solve your worries. You and Uncle Yang can take care of Kang Kang with peace of mind."
"Okay! Good!"
After dinner, Yang Guang told his son to rest at home while he and his wife went out to explore the surrounding area.
The neighborhood where Jiang Xiaoli rented the apartment had very complete amenities, and their basic living needs could be met within a kilometer of their doorstep.
Chen Ting nodded repeatedly in satisfaction, "Honey, wouldn't it be wonderful if we could have a house like this someday!"
Yang Guang looked at his wife, who looked tired from years of hard work, and softened his tone, "I'll do my best, Ting'er, give me some time."
Noticing his change in mood, Chen Ting quickly patted his arm, "I was just saying it casually, don't overthink it!"
Jiang Xiaoli watched their interaction and felt extremely warm. She smiled and said, "Aunt Chen, you have to believe in Uncle Yang. Things will get better in the future!"
Chen Ting nodded, seeing the determination in her eyes, "Yes! My husband Yang can definitely do it!"
After dropping them off at their apartment complex, Jiang Xiaoli made an appointment with them to go to the hospital early the next morning before driving home.
When the elevator doors opened, Zong Jiayu was seen leaning against the security door of her house.
She asked with a smile, "Waiting for me?"
Zong Jia nodded, "I was thinking that if I didn't see you come back by nine o'clock, I would go pick you up."
She took out her keys, opened the door, and walked inside. "I took Uncle Yang and the others for a walk around the neighborhood, and it got a little late."
She left early this morning and only just got home. She collapsed onto the sofa.
Zong Jiayu walked over and sat down next to her, placing her head on his lap and massaging her.
She groaned comfortably, "Ah Yu, your technique is amazing! If you ever can't make a living, I'll open a massage parlor for you to work as a prostitute!"
Zong Jia increased the pressure of the massage a bit. "I'm giving other people massages, won't Little Pear be jealous?"
She sat up, pinched his chin, and said, "When you fall to that level, I'll take you under my wing!"
Zong Jia opened his arms wide and said, "No need to wait, I'll sell myself right now, Little Pear, hurry up and take me in."
"Tsk tsk tsk." Jiang Xiaoli clicked her tongue with a look of disgust. "Look at you, so worthless!"
Zong Jiayu thoughtfully suggested again, "If Xiaolizi can't bear to part with it, I'll pay for it myself."
Looking into the man's alluring eyes, she couldn't help but lean closer and kiss him. "Ayu, you must have been a male demon who wreaked havoc on the human world in your past life."
Zong Jia reached out and pulled her into his arms, gently kissing her brows, nose, and lips...
"If I had to say what I'm most grateful to Zong Ze and the others for, it would be that they gave me a beautiful appearance that Xiao Lizi likes."
Jiang Xiaoli suddenly remembered, "By the way, how did your meeting with the investigation team go today?"
Zong Jiayu put his arm around her and said, "We just had a brief chat. This matter didn't really concern me. The investigation team's main target wasn't me, but Yang Xin and her son."
She was somewhat surprised, "Yang Xin and the others are still in Kyoto? I thought she would have gone back to Xijing after she came to see you!"
"Hmm." Zong Jiayu nodded. "She fantasizes about developing and expanding her so-called career in Beijing. This time it shouldn't just be Zong Ze's problem; Yang Xin will also have to go in."
"Because of 'Shuang An Kang'?"
"Yes, the higher-ups are investigating this matter very seriously now."
Jiang Xiaoli couldn't help but sigh, "A perfectly good family, not rich but not poor either, why do they have to make such a fuss!"
Zong Jia chuckled lightly, "It's said that it's also related to me. Zong Ze and Yang Xin couldn't stand that I, whom they looked down on, was doing so well. Plus, I ruined Zong Ze's promotion path, so they wanted to take a gamble."
"These people are really despicable!"
"Alright, let's not talk about them anymore. Have you made arrangements for the hospital tomorrow? Do you want me to go with you?"
Jiang Xiaoli shook her head, "No need, you're preparing for your thesis defense lately, I can go by myself."
Zong Jiayu thought for a moment, "Then let Da Yuan accompany you and run errands for you. I also have some information about your assistant. I'll arrange a meeting for you after you finish your work tomorrow so you can have a chat."
She became interested. "Comrade Xiao Zong, you're really efficient! Where did you find this person?"
Zong Jiayu said with a smile, "It's a coincidence. My mentor's daughter just returned to China and was not very satisfied with the job interviews she had. When I mentioned you, she took the initiative to say that she wanted to give it a try."
Jiang Xiaoli shrugged. "Sure, let's arrange to meet then. But let's make this clear beforehand: I won't accept you if we're not a good match!"
"Of course, I'm just connecting you two; you can discuss the specifics yourselves."
After chatting for so long, Jiang Xiaoli stretched and said, "Alright, I'm going to wash up and go to bed. Xiao Yuzi, you may leave!"
Zong Jia's eyes suddenly darkened. "How can Your Highness trouble yourself with such trivial matters as washing up? I can do it for you."
As he spoke, he picked the person up and carried them into the bathroom.
Placed on the toilet, Jiang Xiaoli watched him test the water temperature and found it amusing. "Ayu, tell me, when did you start planning this?"
Zong Jiayu was very frank, saying, "I saw you every second."
"Hahaha!" Her hearty laughter echoed in the bathroom.
But soon the laughter was drowned out by the sound of water, and steam enveloped the two figures embracing.
After a long while, Jiang Xiaoli turned to look at the person lying next to her, "Ayu, Ms. Li Guizhi will be back tomorrow."
Zong Jia nodded. "Does Little Pear mean we should hurry up?"
She grabbed a cushion and threw it at him, "Is this all the dirty stuff in your head?"
Her movement caused the blanket to slip off her shoulders, revealing a glimpse of white. Zong Jiayu stared intently and said, "There's also white."
Jiang Xiaoli pulled the blanket up a little. "What I mean is, you better behave yourself when my mom comes back!"
Zong Jia looked away regretfully, "I understand."
She chuckled and poked his cheek, "How come I never noticed you were such a lecher before?"
He held her fingers and kissed them, then said, "Now that you know, you can't regret it."
Jiang Xiaoli chuckled, "That depends on your performance!"
"Oh?" Zong Jia raised an eyebrow. "How many points would you give my performance just now, Little Pear?"
She blinked. "75 points, I guess. There's still room for improvement."
