The man lowered his head and kissed her belly. Xiang Nanzhi was sleeping too soundly to move at all. He kissed the protruding part of her belly through the fabric.
"Um……"
He muttered something to himself, then gently bit down on one of them and went to bite the other.
Xiang Nanzhi was half-asleep, aware of what he was doing, but unwilling to wake up. She pitifully pleaded, "Shen Shixun, be gentle, I'm sleepy..."
He knew she was tired, so he didn't do anything excessive, stopping short of anything more...
——
Late at night, Xiang Jingyi did not return to the old house. Instead, he held a glass of red wine in his hand and looked at his marine aquaculture farm.
Eel, octopus, conch, seashell, crab, ray...
Every kind of marine creature that can be named, whether suitable for aquaculture or not, can be found here, as long as he is happy. Xiang Jingyi is fond of this, and the amount of money he spends on his private aquaculture farm every year is a considerable sum.
The seawater was specially transported here; the ancient city has no sea, so you can imagine the enormous expense involved…
"Xiang Man, you're back."
His pet raccoon loves to swim in his marine aquaculture farm whenever it has free time. It floats on the surface of the water like a natural swimmer, its back still covered in fur. When it gets up, its belly and limbs are wet, its chin is wet, but the fur on its head and back remains healthy.
Xiang Jingyi took a towel to wipe him, and Xiang Man reached out his paw to snatch the red wine from his hand, "Can you drink it? You can drink it if you want."
Xiang Jingyi sat to the side, completely drunk, letting Xiang Man take it away.
But Xiang Man was a raccoon; his paws couldn't hold the tall wine glass tightly, and it shattered on the floor with a crisp sound.
Startled, Xiang Man jumped back into the sea with a splash. Xiang Jingyi leaned back on the sofa and slowly closed her eyes.
Her living space consisted of a sofa, a living room, two bedrooms, and the rest of the space, upstairs and downstairs, was entirely occupied by a marine aquaculture farm…
He built a huge project; apart from not having a proper beach and being indoors, it was practically indistinguishable from the ocean.
So much so that even when Xiang Jingyi was sleeping on the sofa, he could hear the gentle lapping of the waves and smell the salty sea air...
When Xiang Man jumped up again, Xiang Jingyi was already asleep. He was wearing a white shirt, and Xiang Man was soaked with water.
"Xiang Man, stop fooling around."
Xiang Man nestled obediently against him.
A person and a bear, living a peaceful life.
Xiang Jingyi didn't know when he fell asleep. When he woke up, Xiang Man had already gone to the breeding farm to collect snails and shells. He leaned back on the sofa and saw that the sky outside was completely bright. There were broken wine glasses on the ground, and some of the wine stains had dried on the clean white ground.
It looks just like crushed rose petals...
Xiang Man saw him get up, with an octopus horn in his mouth, and crawl from the fish farm to the shore.
"You stole food again... I'll hit you."
Xiang Man stood up, took two steps back, and slurped the octopus corner into his stomach.
Xiang Jing chuckled and turned back to his living area.
He kept anything slightly toxic out of reach of Xiang Man in other ways; he used to take Xiang Man out when he slept at night.
However, Xiang Man really loves to steal squid. He has already eaten three legs of one squid. If he eats another one, he will probably only be able to walk on two legs.
——
When Xiang Jingyi came out of the bathroom, he was covered in steam. Xiang Man was hugging his leg, and he moved his leg away slightly. "Stop it, it's causing the hair to fall out."
The man buttoned up his cuffs, but couldn't button the one on his right cuff with his left hand. He had no choice but to give up, buttoned up his collar, and casually picked out a suit jacket to put on.
As the car was driving, Xiang Jingyi received a phone call. He said coldly, "Tell the chairman that I will go to see him."
Ever since breaking up with Su Lan, Xiang Zhengyi has been very concerned about his marriage.
He's over thirty, which is indeed not young anymore.
According to custom, it's time to find someone to marry.
Xiang Jingyi had to admit that he was always indifferent and polite to all women, and he had never met anyone who could make him unforgettable after just a fleeting glance.
In his heart, no woman could compare to even a fraction of his sister.
But since Xiang Zhengyi had spoken, he had no choice but to go see him. As long as their family backgrounds were comparable and his father was satisfied, he didn't care.
Xiang Jingyi has high standards for his assistants, and he frequently changes them. None of them stay with him for long. However, each of the assistants he has replaced still doesn't know what they did wrong to be replaced.
Xiang Jingyi is strict with his work, demanding of himself and those around him to be well-behaved. However, he only says things once and doesn't like to give people a second chance.
Once you cross his line, he'll decide you can't keep them around. He won't say another word, he'll just silently remove them, and any farewells will seem superfluous.
The new assistant, Dou Wei, is quite capable; he provided the other party's information to Dou Wei in advance.
Li Mingyue, who just returned to China, is Li Qingyuan's illegitimate daughter. She is publicly known to be born to Mao Yuling, but the truth can be found out with careful investigation.
When Li Qingyuan was young, he was notorious for being a womanizer, even more so than his philandering second brother, Xiang Ciyuan.
Now that I'm older, I'm still as sharp as ever. I don't play as daringly as I used to, but I haven't stopped either.
Before Li Qingyuan inherited Li Ran's assets, the old chairman Li hated him deeply. Later, after the old chairman Li passed away, he somehow managed to get the old chairman Li to change his will before his death, declaring that he would inherit all of Li Ran's assets.
Not long after Li Qingyuan inherited the Li Ran Group, he entered into a business marriage with the Mao family, marrying the notoriously shrewish Mao Yuling. Shortly after their marriage, they had Li Ran's heir, Li Luchuan.
It's natural for wealthy families to be chaotic. No one dares to look too closely at how chaotic it is, because if you look too closely, you'll only see the filth.
A few years later, Li Qingyuan's mistress suddenly came to his door, holding a baby girl in her arms. She extorted 10 billion yuan from Li Qingyuan with the baby girl and then ran away with the money.
The baby girl was Li Mingyue. To maintain a good reputation and protect the public's perception, Mao Yuling had no choice but to admit it to the outside world, saying that she and Li Qingyuan had given birth to her.
Mao Yuling was sorely mistaken that she thought she could move Li Qingyuan with this.
Li Qingyuan had been well-behaved for many years, but that was all an illusion. It wasn't until five years ago, when a woman named Li Anqi appeared heavily pregnant in front of the aging and faded Mao Yuling, that she realized...
A man is a man; he won't change because of a woman.
Later, Li Anqi suffered a miscarriage without anyone noticing. It was obvious who was behind it. Li Qingyuan was furious but dared not speak out, turning a blind eye.
Although she lost her child, Li Anqi was shrewd enough to become the de facto second wife of the Li family through her own abilities, and lived separately from Mao Yuling...
But she has never gotten pregnant since then.
Xiang Jingyi didn't understand what his father was thinking, that he would intentionally arrange a marriage between the Xiang family and the Li family, but thinking it was related to business expansion, he arrived at the coffee shop early to wait for someone.
