After leaving Myth Corporation, Lin Xiao didn’t waste a single second. He hurriedly drove toward the villa.
It was now a little after four in the afternoon, the most sweltering part of the day. Those three minxes were probably still playing in the swimming pool. Lin Xiao certainly didn’t want to miss out on such an enticing scene. Especially when he imagined his wife in a swimsuit, he felt like he was about to get a nosebleed.
What was normally a half-hour drive, Lin Xiao completed in less than fifteen minutes.
But when he returned to Hidden Dragon Villa, brimming with excitent, the scene that greeted him left him dumbfounded: the three minxes had already gotten dressed and were lying on the loungers by the pool.
Seeing this, Lin Xiao felt so wronged he wanted to cry. Despite his hurry, he had still missed out.
"Lin Xiao, you’re back!" Su Qingning smiled, waving her hand.
Her breathtakingly beautiful face, bathed in sunlight, seed to be coated in a layer of divine radiance. She was so gorgeous it didn’t seem real.
Lin Xiao nodded. He smiled and said, "It’s so hot, why didn’t you play a little longer?"
"Because we were afraid you’d co back, of course!" Shao i’er said with a seductive smile.
Lin Xiao rolled his eyes at her. Damn it, it’s not like you’re ever shy about flirting with . Why the innocent act now? Besides, it’s not you I want to see in a swimsuit. I want to see my wife in hers!
But that was sothing he only dared to think to himself. Even with his thick skin, Lin Xiao wouldn’t dare say such a thing out loud in front of them.
Lin Xiao sighed in feigned regret. "Such a pity. I was actually hoping we could have a romantic bath together!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Shao i’er suddenly stood up. "Wait for , I’m going to change into my sexiest swimsuit!"
Lin Xiao admitted defeat. "Shao i’er, you win!"
Shao i’er gave Lin Xiao an extrely sultry wink.
"By the way, hubby, why did Xiang Xue suddenly retire?" Su Qingning asked curiously.
Lin Xiao smiled and said, "Oh, she felt it was too exhausting. Plus, her family has a huge company that needs soone to take over. Maybe she’s just getting to that age."
"That’s such a sha. We won’t be able to hear any new songs from Xiang Xue," Su Qingning said with a look of regret.
"Honey, you like her songs?"
Su Qingning nodded. "Of course, I do. It’s a pity about that incident last ti in Jinhai City. I didn’t get to hear her perform live."
Lin Xiao smiled. "Don’t worry. Next ti we see her, I’ll have her sing for you in person!"
"Yes! Next ti we see Xiang Xue, we should have her give us a private concert!" Shao i’er chid in.
Su Qingning nodded.
After so idle chatter, Lin Xiao asked, "Is everyone hungry? If so, let’s go get sothing to eat. My treat tonight!"
The three young won had been in the pool for over two hours. To be honest, they were getting a little hungry. At Lin Xiao’s words, they all nodded in agreent.
After quickly freshening up, Lin Xiao took the three minxes to the car.
"Hubby, why did you change cars again?" Su Qingning asked curiously.
"Oh, this car belongs to Xiao Shixiong. I just borrowed it for a spin."
Su Qingning knew that Lin Xiao had saved Xiao Shixiong’s life, which was why Xiao Shixiong treated him so well.
"You shouldn’t drive other people’s cars next ti. This is too expensive. If it gets scratched or dinged, we’d feel awful, even if he didn’t get angry," Su Qingning said seriously.
Lin Xiao knew she was just looking out for him, so he nodded and said, "Alright, honey, I’ll listen to you."
Just then, Shao i’er gave a seductive smile. "Lin Xiao, if you like the Phantom, I can just give you one."
It may have been a kind gesture, but to Su Qingning’s ears, the words took on a different aning.
Before Lin Xiao could even speak, Su Qingning smiled and said, "i’er, thank you for the kind thought, but let’s forget about such an expensive car. I’ll work hard so I can buy Lin Xiao one myself in the future!"
"Madam, I was just kidding! I would never actually give him such an expensive car," Shao i’er laughed.
This woman was astoundingly clever. She knew her words had made Su Qingning uncomfortable. It wasn’t that Su Qingning was petty; any woman would feel uncomfortable if another woman suddenly offered her husband such an expensive gift, especially when the gift-giver clearly had designs on him.
"i’er, thank you," Su Qingning said gratefully.
"Madam, you’re being too formal. I can’t accept your thanks!"
Su Qingning just smiled and said nothing more.
Soon, they arrived at Chunyu Pavilion. The place had almost beco Lin Xiao’s personal canteen, considering how often he visited. Shao i’er, of course, was always happy to see him. After all, he was the man she dread of winning over. Once they arrived, the group of four got out of the car and, led by Shao i’er, headed straight for the best private room.
Although Lin Xiao was supposedly treating them, Shao i’er had already arranged everything. They had barely taken their seats before waiters began streaming in, carrying one delicacy after another.
The three young won were all hungry, and without waiting for all the dishes to be served, they began to eat and drink heartily. Lin Xiao enjoyed watching them eat. It wasn’t just because they were all beautiful—a delightful sight in itself—but because the three of them ate without any pretense. They were genuine.
After a few rounds of drinks, Lin Xiao suddenly said, "By the way, honey, I have so bad news for you."
Su Qingning imdiately asked, "What is it?"
"Li Shilin quit," Lin Xiao said sullenly.
Shen Jingzhe subconsciously glanced at Lin Xiao. He didn’t just quit, she realized. Lin Xiao already dealt with him. That guy works fast. I only told him Li Shilin was a problem around noon, and he’s already handled it by the afternoon.
"Why?" Su Qingning asked in surprise.
Lin Xiao shook his head. "I don’t know. I was a bit confused when he called. I asked him why, but he wouldn’t say."
Su Qingning sighed, a little dejected. "It’s okay. If he doesn’t want the job, then so be it."
"What’s wrong? Madam, does your bar need soone?" Shao i’er asked curiously.
Su Qingning answered frankly, "Yes, we’re short a manager."
"That’s no big deal at all! I’ll get soone from my company to head over. Don’t worry, I guarantee they’ll manage it well for you!"
Just as Su Qingning was about to speak, the door to the private room opened, and a waiter ca in. He diligently began to clear the food scraps from the table.
Shao i’er continued, "Madam, rest assured, I promise I’ll recomnd a very capable right-hand for you!"
"Won’t that hold back their career?" Su Qingning asked, a bit worried. "After all, you know my bar isn’t very big."
"No worries, trust !" Shao i’er declared, patting her chest.
Su Qingning thought for a mont, then nodded. "Alright then, i’er, thank you."
Honestly, Su Qingning was out of options. The bar was so popular now that they were desperately short-staffed. Otherwise, she really wouldn’t have wanted to trouble Shao i’er.
Shao i’er smiled seductively. "Madam, we’re all family here, no need for formalities!"
As the two were chatting, Shen Jingzhe suddenly exclaid, "Qing Ning, watch out!"
