On the high-speed train, Yang Feilong meditated with his eyes closed. Although several attractive young women tried to strike up a conversation with him, he only responded minimally, maintaining a cool demeanor.
He had no desire for any casual encounters, as he already had more than enough women to attend to. Furthermore, while these ladies appeared appealing, they couldn't quite compare to his own women.
The journey was uneventful.
After disembarking the train, Yang Feilong hailed a taxi and headed straight for the villa in Le Hai Garden.
The branch store was opening the next day, and he intended to be there. He had already informed Luo Yujiao and Lou Yimo about this. However, with Luo Wenwen back, Luo Wenwen had chosen to stay in the large apartment.
When Yang Feilong returned to the villa in Le Hai Garden, Lou Yimo was still awake, waiting for him. Of course, she was no longer an ordinary person, and a day or two without sleep would not significantly affect her state of mind.
After paying the fare, Yang Feilong entered the villa.
"Husband, you're back!" Seeing the gate open from the outside, Lou Yimo, who had been waiting in the living room, rushed forward with excitement, flinging herself into Yang Feilong's arms. Her legs wrapped around his waist, demonstrating her immense joy.
"Mm, I'm back," Yang Feilong replied with a smile.
Lou Yimo was clearly overcome with emotion and kissed him directly.
The courtyard gate closed on its own. Yang Feilong, holding Lou Yimo who was clinging to him, walked towards the house while kissing her.
Lou Yimo's emotions seemed to be running high, and she was very proactive. She didn't seem to mind that Yang Feilong was dusty from his travels.
During the aftermath, Lou Yimo lay in Yang Feilong's embrace, looking at him with deep gratitude. "Husband, thank you."
"Thank me for what?" Yang Feilong asked, surprised.
"For what you did for my parents. If they hadn't called me, I wouldn't have known they weren't doing well recently," Lou Yimo said, her eyes glistening with emotion as she looked at Yang Feilong.
"You know about it?" Yang Feilong realized then that Lou Yitian and his wife must have told Lou Yimo about what happened today, or rather, yesterday, as it was past midnight.
"Mm," Lou Yimo nodded. Upon learning the full details, she felt a mix of anger, fear, relief, and gratitude.
She was angry and fearful that her family had encountered trouble and her parents hadn't told her. Of course, she understood they didn't want her to worry, and that telling her would have been of no help, only causing her more anxiety. She was also relieved that her parents hadn't suffered any substantial harm. She was touched that Yang Feilong had visited her parents without telling her, and had successfully resolved the trouble they faced, even ensuring their ongoing safety.
"Thank you for doing so much for my family!" Lou Yimo said tenderly and gratefully, looking at Yang Feilong.
"You are my woman, so it's only right that I do a lot for you," Yang Feilong chuckled.
"Husband, you're so good!" Lou Yimo's beautiful eyes were filled with emotion, and she couldn't help but kiss him again. Seeing that Lou Yimo's passion had reignited, Yang Feilong naturally didn't disappoint her.
...
September first.
The branch store opened.
The day passed without any major incidents. Yang Feilong had people in place, both visible and hidden, in the area, so there were no troublemakers, and the opening proceeded smoothly.
However, it was indeed very busy.
With two sales representatives, Luo Yujiao and Lou Yimo, along with Luo Wenwen and Yang Feilong helping out, there were a total of six people. Yang Feilong even pitched in, showing no airs of being a boss.
Of course, Yang Feilong didn't care about pride or status; making money was his priority.
"Brother, I'm starting school the day after tomorrow. Will you accompany me then?" After work, Yang Qingqing pulled Yang Feilong aside for a private talk.
Seeing his sister's hopeful expression, Yang Feilong smiled wryly. "I'll be busy in the coming period too. After all, Blue Sea University is also about to open, and I'm currently arranging teaching matters. I won't be free."
"Ah, really?" Hearing Yang Feilong's words, Yang Qingqing pouted, looking quite dejected.
"You'll be back during the National Day holiday, won't you? It's only about a month away. Besides, Mom and Dad want to accompany you," Yang Feilong tried to console her.
Yang Qingqing thought for a moment, then looked at Yang Feilong with hope in her eyes. "Then promise me, you'll come visit me during the National Day holiday, or I'll come visit you. Can you do that?"
"This..." Yang Feilong hesitated, unsure if he would have time.
Seeing Yang Qingqing's sad expression, Yang Feilong couldn't bear it and agreed, "Alright, I promise to spend a few days with you."
"Thank you, brother!" Upon hearing this, Yang Qingqing's face lit up with excitement. She pecked Yang Feilong on the cheek. In fact, if Luo Wenwen hadn't been watching them intently, Yang Qingqing would have wanted a passionate French kiss with her brother.
Yang Feilong dotingly stroked her fair, soft cheek. "What are you thanking me for?"
"Brother, if I'm not mistaken, is Sister Lou also your girlfriend?" Yang Qingqing asked, blinking her eyes.
Yang Feilong had confessed to Yang Qingqing before, but only mentioned Luo Yujiao. Yang Qingqing hadn't pressed further then. Thus, Yang Qingqing's guess that Lou Yimo was his girlfriend caught Yang Feilong somewhat by surprise, as only Luo Yujiao knew about Lou Yimo being his girlfriend, and Luo Yujiao wouldn't have told anyone else.
Lou Yimo was naturally reserved and not one to gossip, so she wouldn't have told Yang Qingqing either. Moreover, today, he and Lou Yimo hadn't shown any particular affection. Therefore, Yang Qingqing's deduction surprised him.
"How did you know?" Yang Feilong asked out of curiosity.
"Heh, because her eyes are full of loving happiness when she looks at you! If she just liked you, she would look resentful, like Wenwen, longing for something unattainable. Sister Lou doesn't have that. Clearly, she has already obtained it, so there's no resentment," Yang Qingqing said with a proud smile, analyzing calmly.
"Uh?" Yang Feilong blinked. His sister's abilities were progressing by leaps and bounds; she could even figure this out.
"As expected of my good brother. Both Sister Yujiao and Sister Lou are exceptional women, willing to be your women together!" Yang Qingqing said, looking at Yang Feilong with a half-smile.
Being scrutinized by his sister's gaze made Yang Feilong feel guilty, and he let out a dry laugh. "Perhaps it's because I did too many good deeds in my past life!"
"Tch!" Yang Qingqing rolled her eyes at Yang Feilong.
"By the way, didn't you call Yujiao 'Auntie'? Why are you calling her 'Sister' now?" Yang Feilong asked, still puzzled.
"We are both your girlfriends. When there are no outsiders around, shouldn't I call her 'Sister'?" Yang Qingqing looked at her 'good' brother as if he were an idiot.
Yang Feilong: "..."
Alright, he had forgotten that Yang Qingqing had two roles with him: sister and girlfriend. She could switch freely between them, and her choice of identity depended entirely on her mood at the time. Yang Feilong dared not voice any objections, completely controlled by Yang Qingqing, his sister-wife.
