Late at night, all was quiet!
In the main hall of the Li family’s courtyard, a passionate encounter had just come to an end.
After the passion, the two lay nestled together under the covers, both panting heavily.
Although they had already “had their fill” last night, a young couple who’d been pent up for so many days couldn’t possibly be satisfied with just one or two rounds, so after putting the kids to bed tonight, the two of them got busy again.
After lying on the heated bed for a while to catch their breath, Jiang Xue suddenly asked, “Do you have any work plans for tomorrow?”
Li Yi thought for a moment and replied, “I don’t have any work scheduled…”
Before he could finish, Jiang Xue cut in, “Since you don’t have any plans, then come out with me and the kids!”
“What for? Don’t you have school tomorrow?”
“It’s Sunday, so I have the day off. I want you to come with the three of us to take some photos on the street!” Jiang Xue said.
“Take photos?”
“Yes, Yunjin and Yunrui are about to turn two. It’s time to take some photos to commemorate the occasion!” Jiang Xue said.
“But… we have our own camera at home. Haven’t we taken plenty of pictures already?”
“That’s different. The ones we take are just casual snaps. This time, we’re going to a professional studio in the city to have a pro take our pictures. We’ll even bring some special props—like fake horses and pandas…”
Hearing this, Li Yi immediately understood—it seemed the girl was planning to have him take some “artistic portraits.”
Once he’d figured that out, Li Yi immediately said, “Alright, I’ll go with you tomorrow, but first we have to take care of something more important this morning.”
“What is it?” Jiang Xue asked curiously.
“Splitting the money!”
“Split the money?”
“That’s right!”
Li Yi then explained in detail to Jiang Xue that the trade show project was about to undergo its second major dividend payout.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xue said excitedly, “So you’re saying we’ll get over 100 million again tomorrow?”
“Yeah, to be precise, it’s 129 million. Once the money comes in tomorrow, I’ll deposit it into your passbook!” Li Yi said.
“You’re… giving it to me again? I already have over 100 million in my passbook. Maybe… maybe…”
Before Jiang Xue could finish, Li Yi smiled and said, “We’re a team—it makes no difference whose account it goes into. Don’t feel pressured.”
“Hmm…”
Suddenly, as if something had occurred to her, Jiang Xue’s expression froze for a moment. Then, looking at Li Yi, she asked, “Does that mean Third Brother and Brother Jianhua will also get over 100 million?”
“That’s right!”
“Do Grandpa and my maternal grandfather know about this?”
Li Yi smiled and said, “They probably don’t know. Third Brother told me not to mention it to Grandpa, and I promised him I wouldn’t bring it up with him on my own.”
Jiang Xue smiled and said, “I was thinking of bringing Mom and Grandpa along for the photo shoot tomorrow. What do you think?”
Hearing this, Li Yi immediately knew what the girl was up to and said, “Aren’t you afraid Third Brother and Jianhua will get upset if you do that?”
“I’m not worried. For one thing, this is a task Dad specifically assigned to me, and for another, it’s actually for Third Brother and Jianhua’s own good.”
Jiang Xue continued, “You know exactly what Third Brother and Brother Jianhua are like. When we gave them a million before, they got so full of themselves—spending money left and right. Xinyao and Sister-in-law Lin Ying have complained to me several times about how they’re wasting money.”
“If we put over 100 million in their hands, who knows what kind of trouble they’d cause with their personalities!”
Li Yi smiled at that. Considering Jiang Longcheng and Ye Jianhua’s personalities, what Jiang Xue described wasn’t out of the question.
“Alright then, do whatever you think is best. Just know I’m not involved in this!” Li Yi said.
Jiang Xue smiled and said, “Got it. This has nothing to do with you. I just happened to overhear this and told Grandpa about it!”
Hearing this, Li Yi silently mourned Jiang Longcheng and Ye Jianhua for another three minutes—their share of the profits was most likely gone for good.
With that in mind, Li Yi ran his fingers through Jiang Xue’s silky long hair and said, “We’ve got so much to do tomorrow. Why don’t we get some rest early tonight?”
“No, I still need to…”
“Okay, I’ll give you…”
Soon, the room was once again ablaze with passion, the sounds of their lovemaking echoing loudly…
……….
After a night of passionate lovemaking, the young couple were both deeply satisfied.
Plus, since it happened to be their day off, by the time Li Yi and Jiang Xue woke up, it was already nearly nine o’clock.
The moment he opened his eyes, Li Yi found himself looking into a pair of beautiful eyes as dark as black gems.
There, sitting beside him, was his little princess, Yun Jin, looking down at him.
Seeing that Li Yi had woken up, the little girl’s eyes crinkled into a smile, revealing a gentle, radiant expression.
Seeing his daughter’s innocent smile, Li Yi’s heart melted completely.
Li Yi immediately scooped the little girl into his arms. Amid Yun Jin’s giddy giggles, he said, “Good morning, sweetheart!”
“Daddy… I’m hungry, I want milk…”
Immediately afterward, a babyish voice came from nearby: “Hungry… milk…”
Li Yi turned to look and saw Yun Rui sitting to his left, holding an empty bottle.
Clearly, both children were hungry!
He immediately tucked Yun Rui and Yun Jin into his warm, cozy bed, then threw on a shirt, grabbed the two bottles, and headed into the kitchen.
With practiced ease, he washed the bottles, prepared the formula, and then returned to the bedroom.
By then, Jiang Xue had also woken up and was playing with the two little ones, making them giggle nonstop.
“Time for milk, sweethearts!”
Hearing Li Yi’s voice, the two little ones immediately climbed down from Jiang Xue and excitedly ran toward him.
After receiving their bottles, the two adorable little ones sat right down on the bedding and began drinking contentedly.
Li Yi was just about to call out to his wife and children to get up quickly, so as not to keep An Hong, Jiang Longcheng, and the others waiting impatiently.
However, when he saw Jiang Xue’s state, he was instantly taken aback.
At that moment, Jiang Xue was wearing nothing but a loose nightgown on top, her snow-white skin largely exposed—even her ample bosom was more than half uncovered.
This teasing, half-hidden look was the most alluring of all, causing Li Yi’s heart to race as he gazed at her with eyes ablaze.
Jiang Xue naturally sensed her husband’s burning gaze; her pretty face flushed slightly, and the atmosphere in the room instantly turned somewhat suggestive and alluring.
As a long-married couple, Jiang Xue naturally knew what her husband wanted, but she really didn’t dare to respond to him right now.
Not to mention that the two little ones had already woken up; Jiang Xue simply couldn’t bear the thought of doing that in front of the children.
After all, Yun Rui and Yun Jin could both talk now, and they especially loved chatting with Grandma and their eldest aunt. Yun Rui was a bit better—boys develop later, and his speech wasn’t quite clear yet.
But that little girl Yun Jin could say just about anything; her little mouth chattered nonstop every day.
Jiang Xue certainly didn’t want their little “bedtime activities” being blabbed about by her own daughter!
With that in mind, Jiang Xue parted her red lips and said softly, “Stop looking. Hurry up and get dressed. We still have to go to the old family home to pick up Grandpa and my mother!”
Li Yi knew the timing wasn’t quite right either, so he nodded immediately and began getting dressed.
Just as the two of them had finished getting dressed and washing up, the phone in the room rang.
Li Yi answered and heard it was An Hong calling. She gave the address of a bank and said she had already arrived and was handling some business there, asking Li Yi and the others to head straight over.
After acknowledging her, Li Yi and Jiang Xue each picked up a child, entrusted them to their mother and eldest sister to look after, and then, accompanied by Zhang Ziqiang and Zhou Wen, headed straight for the Jiang family’s old residence…
