I sighed in resignation, "If it really comes down to it, we can draw straws. I'll marry her this year, divorce her next year, and marry someone else. I should be able to cycle through everyone in my lifetime.
He Yuqing threw her arms around my neck. "I don't want just one year; I want you forever. Though I know that's impossible, I don't want to be your wife and give up the chance to others.
I'll be your mistress." I told her, "Actually, none of you need to rush. I've discussed this with Qiqi. I plan to slowly help her find a suitable candidate for the Federal Chairman position, and we will gradually withdraw from Earth Federation affairs.
Then, we'll move the whole family to the Gemini system. The living environment there is much better than on Earth, and the crucial part is that no one will care how many wives I have there." He Yuqing had been to the Gemini system. Its economy was much less developed, but the Earth Federation was already planning aid.
She believed conditions would improve soon. From a human habitation perspective, excessive technology wasn't always a good thing; the higher it was, the greater the destruction to the planet. That’s why the Earth Federation's aid plan paid special attention to this.
He Yuqing's chest was at least a 36E. As she held me, her entire **mass was pressed against my face, a feeling that stirred my desire. He Yuqing likely felt the stirring beneath her as well, as she held my head and asked, "Husband, have you really thought this through?" I asked, "Are you giving yourself to me?
I've wanted you for so long, but every time you counter with your ultimate technique. I truly can't bear it anymore." "You have to bear it even if you can't. I don't want to give you my first time in a lounge." Saying this, He Yuqing slid down my body and reached for my belt.
Good heavens, I was almost frightened by He Yuqing's particular obsession. The pleasure was absolutely out of this world, but since I became a Super being, only she has ever managed to strip me of all my defenses. The worst time, He Yuqing actually sucked me unconscious.
Still, when such a fortunate temptation was right in front of me, I couldn't refuse. Even knowing I might be laughed at by everyone tonight, I let out a long 'Oh' and closed my eyes, embracing He Yuqing to savor the moment. Linglong and Ma Xiaorui were closest to the sisters Bai Jie and Bai Bing.
Late in the afternoon, feeling bored, I wandered around the Federal Headquarters building again and accidentally ran into the two of them. I immediately stopped them to inquire about Zhu Da and the Bai family twins. Ma Xiaorui said, "Brother-in-law, you still don't know?
Brother Zhu has changed a lot recently. Whenever he has free time, he goes to the street food stalls. At this time, he must be there.
I secretly asked him, and he has feelings for Bai Jie and is currently launching an unparalleled romantic offensive against her." I hadn't expected Zhu Da to be serious. Had their destined connection finally arrived? "What about Cai Bao'er?" I asked.
Linglong said, "Brother Cai is the worst. He won't say anything when asked, acting all mysterious. But I don't think his intentions are good either, Master.
Since you have nothing else to do, why don't we go take a look? They might be shamelessly staring at the two sisters right now." Since I had nothing better to do, I agreed, "Alright, let's go see." The three of us didn't tell the driver. We left the Federal Building, hailed a taxi, and headed straight for the street stall not far from our home.
Because it had snowed again after the Lunar New Year, the weather was cold, so there weren't many people in front of the stall. However, there were several factories nearby, and some workers who preferred saving money were willing to eat there. Otherwise, on a day like this, with the Lantern Festival tomorrow, almost no one would be patronizing the place.
"They're here, they're here! Brother Zhu is really here," Linglong whispered, pulling me to hide in a corner. Sure enough, Zhu Da emerged from the back room carrying a basket of rapeseed.
Since the weather was too cold, any vegetables not immediately needed were stored inside for warmth. For Zhu Da, who never cooked, to be doing this now showed the immense power of love. "Fatty, Fatty, move two plates of chicken wings out to the front for me later," a woman's voice said.
Zhu Da grinned. "Sure thing, no problem." Just then, a dining party of about eight or nine people walked over. Judging by their clothes, they were from a nearby lighting factory that hadn't closed for the holiday.
The spicy stall didn't sell wontons or dumplings, but they did fry flatbreads, which were popular with those who enjoyed greasy food. With more people, the stall owner couldn't keep up. He shouted toward the back, "Silly girl, aren't you coming out to help?" Based on her hairstyle, the girl who came out was last year's elder sister, Bai Jie, whose braids were now styled like her younger sister's.
"Dad, can't you rest on New Year's Day? It's so cold, let's pack up." The owner cursed, "You silly girl, you've been resting for half a month! The factory workers are back at work, and you're still thinking of resting.
Hurry up and help me fry the flatbreads; the gas is low, and I need to refill the tank immediately." "Ah," Bai Jie pouted, looking troubled. "Dad, why not let my sister come? It’s her turn this year." The owner grumbled, "Isn't your sister working at Hualong Company?
Don't you know? Look at her, then look at you. If you don't fry, who will?" Bai Jie grabbed two flatbreads and tossed them into the oil.
"Sooner or later, I'll show you I'm better than Bing Bing." The owner left, and Zhu Da, gathering his courage, sidled up. "Jie'er, let me fry them for you. Look how acrid the smoke is; be careful not to burn your delicate little skin." Bai Jie didn't look up.
"Fatty, please stop being so sappy. Call me Bai Jie. By the way, tell me, did that damn swine help my sister find that job?" Zhu Da replied, "Of course, I did.
I heard Brother Cai Pig-Head recently spent a huge sum on a second-hand two-wheeled motorcycle to give your sister rides every day. See how sweet those two lovebirds are? Shouldn't you give me a chance too?" "Give you a chance, my foot!
Go help clear the dishes and bowls." Zhu Da scurried off to busy himself at the tables. I suspected this was the first time he had done such a thing since childhood. Could this fellow really have fallen in love?
Although there were many customers, Bai Jie was quick and nimble, soon satisfying everyone's orders. Then she pulled Zhu Da aside. "Fatty, can you really help me find a job too?
Didn't you say you don't even have a job yourself? Dad's stall is only busy for about half an hour at noon and in the evening. After this wave of people eats, business will basically stop.
I know the family still wants to buy a house, and my sister's and my schooling drained all of Mom and Dad's savings. I really want to find a job I like to ease their worries." Zhu Da said, "I need to know your job preferences first. That fellow Cai Pig-Head is abusing his power for personal gain; I'm going to beat him up sooner or later.
We agreed on fair courtship, but he broke the rules." "What abusing power for personal gain? What fair courtship? If you keep talking nonsense, I swear I'll fry your pig trotters in oil." Zhu Da grinned again.
"I know your sister is about to be taken down by that guy, but that kid is too cunning; he used power he shouldn't have. So I've decided to break the rules too. Tell me, what kind of job are you looking for?" Bai Jie, holding a skewer of chicken hearts, looked wistful.
"I want to work for the Federation. My sister and I both studied secretarial skills. Girls should sit quietly in an office." Zhu Da said without hesitation, "Done.
I'll ask the Federal Chairman to arrange an internship for you somewhere. Once you get the hang of it, she'll naturally promote you." Bai Jie chuckled flirtatiously, playfully glaring at Zhu Da. "You always know how to cheer people up.
The Federal Chairman isn't your sister; you're unemployed yourself, yet you're helping me. I was just thinking out loud. Actually, I'd be happy to take any job suited to my studies." Zhu Da became serious.
"The Federal Chairman isn't my sister, but she is my younger sister. Just wait for the good news." Bai Jie smiled without answering, but her expression showed disbelief. However, her slightly raised lips and delicately tilted nose momentarily mesmerized Zhu Da.
He involuntarily exclaimed, "Bai Jie!" Bai Jie casually looked up and replied, "Mm," then saw Zhu Da's fiery eyes, blushed, and lowered her head again. Zhu Da asked, "Bai Jie, tell me honestly, we've been seeing each other for over ten days now. What do you think of me?" Bai Jie kept threading the spicy skewers, murmuring softly, "You're very good.
You're enthusiastic and don't slack off. But our family doesn't have money to pay you a salary; at most, we can treat you to dinner." Zhu Da suddenly became tongue-tied. "Bai Jie, I...
I... I like you." Bai Jie almost ripped the vegetable leaves in her hand apart. She stammered, "Mm, uh, but...
but my dad doesn't agree with me seeing you. He says you're too fat and don't have a job, not even a place to live. He says I won't be happy with you." Zhu Da pleaded, "I just want to know your opinion.
Do you dislike me? If you think I'm fat, I can lose weight. If I have no money or housing, we can strive for it.
I promise you won't be the happiest person in the world, but you will be among the happiest. Marry me." Bang! Bai Jie threw the vegetable leaves into the hot oil pot without thinking, causing a splatter of oil droplets.
She knew she was going to get burned and let out a sharp cry, closing her eyes. To her surprise, nothing happened. When she opened her eyes, Zhu Da was standing between her and the oil pot, and the splashed oil was landing on him.
Bai Jie blushed again and pushed Zhu Da away. "Stop blocking my work, or my dad will scold me again when he gets back." Zhu Da stared fixedly at Bai Jie. "Bai Jie, answer my question!
Do you know how anxious I am? Among our brothers, I'm the only one left alone. You wouldn't be so heartless, would you?" Bai Jie kept her head down.
"I'm still young. How can you be so thick-skinned? Can't we just be friends first and talk about these things later?
If my dad hears this, he'll probably chop you with a knife! We have to get past him first." Although Bai Jie didn't explicitly agree, she didn't refuse either. Furthermore, she hinted at slowly dating to gain her father's approval.
Zhu Da jumped higher than three feet—no, he had the power to jump three zhang high! "That's wonderful, Bai Jie! Don't worry, I have a way to change your dad's opinion of me." "Y-you're a high jumper?" Bai Jie asked in surprise.
