63: Yangyugang

Bright Moon Residence,

Fu Xiangqi came here directly with Jiang Li and the others.

Jiang He, Jiang Yan, and Jiang Nan, who arrived later, had also all reached.

"Mom, Dad."

The three siblings greeted them.

Soon, the waiter arrived to serve the food.

Out of consideration for Father Jiang and Mother Jiang's tastes, Fu Xiangqi specifically instructed the chef to prepare Northern Chinese cuisine.

"Uncle, Auntie, please try these and see if they're to your liking."

Father Jiang and Mother Jiang looked at the table full of food. "It's good. We should order some Southern dishes too; after all, we'll be developing our business in Shanghai from now on."

Hearing this, Jiang Li asked, "Mom, Dad, why didn't you tell me?"

Jiang He and the other two also heard and turned their attention to Father and Mother Jiang.

Mother Jiang looked at Jiang Li. "Lili, you've been developing your career here; your father and I can't hold you back!"

Father Jiang added, "That's right. Once your mother and I got the hang of the company, it started growing rapidly. Coming to Shanghai this time is also to set up the company. Your parents are quite capable, you know!"

Jiang Li said, "Mom, Dad, you guys..." (How hard it must have been for you all these years!)

"Lili, it wasn't as hard as you think. Be good, don't cry. Your son-in-law is right here; he'll laugh at you behind your back later."

Hearing this, Jiang Li said, "Mom..." and then stole a glance at Fu Xiangqi.

Jiang He and Jiang Yan saw this and huffed.

Fu Xiangqi poured a glass of hot milk for Jiang Li. Hearing Mother Jiang's words, he said, "I wouldn't, Auntie. For Lili, this is called 'a beauty's tears'!"

As soon as Fu Xiangqi spoke, everyone laughed happily.

"Good, good! Son-in-law, let's have a drink. I've officially accepted you."

After that, the two of them went glass after glass, and finally, both successfully got drunk!

Mother Jiang and Jiang Li were helpless and had to support one each as they left.

Jiang He and the others had all driven there, so they drove their own cars home.

Jiang Li drove with Mother Jiang in the passenger seat as they returned to Bailin Garden Island together.

After the three siblings got home, they went to their own rooms since they still had work. They didn't bother with the drunks, as there were people to look after them anyway.

Upon arriving home, Jiang Li moved Fu Xiangqi back to her bedroom.

Fu Xiangqi's parents had gone on a trip two days ago and weren't home.

So, Fu Xiangqi had been staying at Jiang Li's house these past few days.

Jiang Li looked at the man on the bed and went to the bathroom to get a wet towel.

She came to the bedside to wipe his hands and face.

After wiping his hands, just as she was about to wipe his face, she found that he was already awake.

He was lying on the bed, looking at her.

Seeing this and looking at Fu Xiangqi's expression, he didn't seem drunk. "You're not drunk? Are you faking it?"

Fu Xiangqi sat up and hugged Jiang Li's waist. "No, I'm drunk, Lili."

Listening to Fu Xiangqi's voice, sure enough, he was still a drunkard.

"Our Qiqi is a good boy, be obedient. Big sister will wipe your face, and then you'll go to sleep, okay?"

Fu Xiangqi was very well-behaved after drinking. Hearing Jiang Li's coaxing words, he replied obediently, "Okay, Qiqi is a good boy!"

Then he tilted his face up and looked at Jiang Li, waiting for his face to be wiped, though his hands were still around her waist.

Jiang Li laughed helplessly and resigned herself to serving him.

After tidying him up and letting him lie on the bed, she went downstairs to get the sobering soup Mu Nuan had prepared.

Seeing Jiang Li come down, Mu Nuan mentioned that Mother Jiang had just come down to take a bowl of sobering soup. "Miss, Madam just took one away."

Jiang Li carried the sobering soup. "Okay, I see. You should go rest too. Make something stomach-warming tomorrow morning."

Then she went upstairs.

Looking at the person on the bed who wouldn't even close his eyes and kept watching her figure, she asked, "Didn't I tell you to rest?"

Fu Xiangqi kept his eyes wide open, looking at Jiang Li, and said, "Big sister went out. Qiqi was obedient and didn't move."

Jiang Li smiled; she hadn't expected Fu Xiangqi to be so well-behaved after getting drunk.

Usually, she saw him scolding people in the lab, his dominance at the negotiation table, and his confidence during competitions, but he never had such a well-behaved side.

Although he usually called her "big sister" when they were together, it was mostly out of tenderness, not like a child like this.

"Qiqi is so good. Let's have some soup."

"Okay."

After Fu Xiangqi drank the sobering soup, he played with Jiang Li for a while.

Jiang Li lay on the bed, her clothes having been lifted by some unknown "claws" and rumpled beyond recognition.

A rosy flush spread across Jiang Li's cheeks.

"Lili, big sister, I like you so much!" Fu Xiangqi said clingily, nestling into the crook of Jiang Li's neck.

By now, Fu Xiangqi's drunkenness had subsided quite a bit.

Jiang Li pushed him away. "Go take a bath, or don't get on the bed."

"Oh (｡･ω･｡)ﾉ♡"

Fu Xiangqi finished a quick shower and came out. "Big sister, I've washed myself clean."

"Mm, get in bed and rest, otherwise you'll have a headache tomorrow morning."

"Mm, okay, I know."

Fu Xiangqi got into bed, and then Jiang Li took her pajamas to bathe.

Jiang Li hadn't drunk any alcohol and soaked in the bath for forty minutes.

When she came out, she found that Fu Xiangqi had already fallen asleep.

She tucked him in, lay down beside him, and fell asleep.

The next morning.

Jiang Li felt a slight itch on her eyelashes. Opening her eyes, she saw the "little puppy" in front of her.

His hair was a mess because he hadn't been still while sleeping.

There were even two stray hairs sticking up on Fu Xiangqi's head.

"Big sister, you're awake."

Fu Xiangqi spoke and immediately pulled away his "claws," the culprits.

Jiang Li looked at his childlike side and, feeling helpless but remembering he might have a headache after drinking, asked, "Qiqi, does your head hurt?"

Fu Xiangqi shook his head. "It doesn't hurt!"

"That's good. Get up and wash, then we'll go eat. Since Mom and Dad want to open the company here, should we go look at some land first?"

"Okay."

Fu Xiangqi went to wash first. After Jiang Li got up, she went to the walk-in closet, picked out a set of casual clothes, and handed them to Fu Xiangqi in the bathroom.

Fu Xiangqi felt like he still smelled of alcohol, so he went to take a bath.

He used the rose scent that Lili liked.

While Jiang Li was washing up, the System appeared: [Ding~, it's a new day. Would you like to sign in?]

"Sign in!"

[Ding~, sign-in successful. Reward: A plot of land at Yangyu Port!]

"Awesome!"

She hadn't expected to be rewarded with a plot of land before even going to see any.

After having breakfast in the morning, Jiang Li and Fu Xiangqi headed out.

Jiang He and the others had also left for work early.

Now, only Father and Mother Jiang were left in the villa.

Aside from the servants and the butler, of course... At Yangyu Port Pier,

Jiang Li and Fu Xiangqi came here because it was the largest pier container center in Shanghai.

They were looking to see if there were any plots for sale or resale.

The two of them drove around for a long time and found a plot on the far edge that was for sale.

Because the adjacent area had already been sold and he hadn't bought it, this particular area was quite useless.

It could only be put up for sale.

Seeing this, Jiang Li and Fu Xiangqi went to find the seller.

They found that the other party was asking for two hundred million.

Just then, the System's voice appeared in Jiang Li's mind; the vacant plot next to it was the rewarded land.

Buying this place would be perfect!

The selling price was two hundred million.

Fu Xiangqi looked at the other party. "This place is on the edge and has no pier; it can only be used as a warehouse. If we need a pier, we'd have to renovate it ourselves. Isn't your asking price of two hundred million a bit high?"

"That's true, but look, my area is the best; cargo ships can reach here much faster. Actually, I didn't want to sell it, but I really can't find the buyer of the adjacent plot. So I have no choice but to sell."

Fu Xiangqi said, "If that's the case, shouldn't it be even cheaper?"

"I originally bought it for over two hundred million, and now..."
