By the ti Shen Yuan woke up the next day, it was already 9 a.m. The graceful young woman by his side was gone, leaving only a trace of warmth in the bed.
"Ah... so comfortable!"
Shen Yuan sat up and stretched lazily, feeling both physically fulfilled and giddy with the joy of having earned his reward.
His pajamas and underwear were neatly folded on the bedside table. Shen Yuan picked them up and put them on without delay.
Don't be fooled by Chen Xinyu's innocence and sweetness—last night, after finishing her class, she leaned against Shen Yuan's chest and softly murmured, "Brother-in-law, can you not wear anything? I want to feel your abs while I sleep."
Faced with Chen Xinyu's bashful yet sincere request, how could Shen Yuan possibly say no?
At around two or three in the morning, Shen Yuan woke up from being tickled. Groggily opening his eyes, he realized Chen Xinyu was tracing circles on his abs with her fingers in her sleep.
There was no other choice—since he was awake, he might as well give her another lesson.
"That girl really got worn out. And now, she's got morning classes to attend."
With his hair a ss, Shen Yuan walked into the bathroom. On the counter, his designated toothbrush and cup were waiting for him, as well as a brand-new towel.
In one smooth sequence, he washed his face, brushed his teeth, and shampooed his hair. After drying his hair, he finally headed to the dining room.
The housekeeper, hearing the noises from the bathroom, had already heated up breakfast. As soon as Shen Yuan stepped out, his al was ready for him.
Chen Na sat beside Shen Yuan as he ate, sharing parenting tips she'd picked up from reading the previous night.
When it was ti for Shen Yuan to leave, Chen Na walked him to the door and extended her arms, looking at him expectantly. "Hug?"
"Of course, a hug."
Shen Yuan embraced her bulging belly, being careful not to apply too much pressure in case he disturbed the baby inside. He grinned and teased, "Your belly is so big, I can't even feel your headlights anymore."
Chen Na blushed and gave him a playful smack.
"Alright, off you go."
"Mhm!"
....
Because Ji Ya had been busy with paperwork for the private jet these past few days, the yacht exchange was assigned to Fu Yingzi. The efficient little assistant had already visited Star City's Haixing office by morning and planned to inspect the docking site in Sanya by the afternoon.
Tan Xin, on the other hand, had already signed up for a yacht license course through Silver Shield Security. Since she had experience driving specialty vehicles and small yachts, learning to operate this type of yacht shouldn't take her long.
As for the transfer of Anke Innovation's shares, Chenlang Law Firm had it covered.
Driving his Koenigsegg Jesko through the familiar streets of Star City, Shen Yuan gave Old Shen a call.
"Hey, Old Shen, what are you busy with?"
"Watching TV. Are you free to co ho for dinner today?" Old Shen's voice ca through the receiver.
Shen Yuan chuckled. Old Shen had learned to guilt-trip him now, probably angry from missing out on dinner and ready to unleash so scolding first.
"Not coming back these two days. I'm afraid Mom might grab the rolling pin and whack . Better to lay low for now."
Just then, Li Hongjuan's voice echoed from the phone: "Shen Yuan, co ho for dinner. I won't hit or scold you."
"Cut it out, Mom. After over twenty years of being mother and son, do you really think I don't know you? I'm not as gullible as Shen Xuan."
"Your wings sure have grown tough now."
Realizing she couldn't trick him, Li Hongjuan's tone imdiately sharpened. "Let ask you, have you t Xiaoxiao's parents? Do they have any opinions about being pregnant out of wedlock?"
"Ah, Mom, you're already calling her Xiaoxiao! And you still have the nerve to accuse of juggling three won? You're no better yourself."
Li Hongjuan let out a quiet sigh. "What can I do? Both are precious."
Shen Yuan couldn't help but laugh inwardly. Li Hongjuan's contradictions amused him—they were hardly a new thing. "Relax, Mom. They visited last ti, and my in-laws are quite pleased with ."
"And Xiaoxiao? She's like Nana, not planning to marry you?"
"I said we'd hold the wedding after the baby is born. We'll do it overseas and bring family and friends along on my private jet. It'll be like a vacation."
"A private jet? How much?"
"A few small goals."
"Small goals?"
Li Hongjuan didn't get the joke and turned to Shen Heping. "What does that an?"
Shen Heping, familiar with online slang, hesitated a bit. "It ans billions."
"Billions?!"
Li Hongjuan's mind blanked for a mont. That amount completely surpassed her imagination. It took her a while to recover, her voice trembling. "Do you really have that much money now? Even if you do... why spend so much on a plane? You can just fly comrcial airlines! Isn't there better use for the money?"
Shen Yuan grinned. "Your son's a super-rich guy. Buying a plane is nothing. One day, I'll even buy you a building so you can collect rent every day."
"I don't need any buildings... but money shouldn't be spent recklessly."
"It's not reckless spending. It's a business jet. It'll make traveling for work or trips abroad much more convenient."
"You little rascal..."
"Alright, Mom, I actually called Dad today to talk business."
Shen Yuan shifted the subject. "Dad, can you co up with nas for Nana's and Xiaoxiao's babies—two sets, one male and one female?"
Still stunned by the billions, Shen Heping didn't imdiately process the request. "Oh, oh, sure. I'll consult the dictionary and classical texts tonight—for both genders, right?"
"Exactly."
Shen Yuan thought for a mont. "Actually, make it three sets—no, make it four sets."
Planning for abundance was always a solid strategy to avoid running short. Eight nas should suffice.
After hanging up, Li Hongjuan and Shen Heping exchanged blank looks, still shell-shocked over the private jet's price tag. Li Hongjuan hadn't even caught the latter part of Shen Yuan's words.
After a long pause, Li Hongjuan finally asked, "What did our son just say?"
Shen Heping scratched his head. "He asked us to co up with four sets of nas for the babies. I guess he's worried they might need spares."
