My first kiss!
Wang Shaojun heard this, gazed at the smile on her face, and without thinking much, reached out and pulled her into his embrace.
Resting his chin on her forehead, he took a deep breath and said, "Don't worry, I won't leave you. Not now, and certainly not in the future. This is my promise to you all."
"Mhm!"
Ye Lingxue heard this and hugged Wang Shaojun tightly, as if wanting to completely embed him in her heart.
Neither of them spoke, just embracing each other. The moonlight shone down, and the cold wind rustled the leaves on the roadside trees. Butler Wei, following behind, showed a rare smile upon seeing this scene.
After a long while, the two separated. Ye Lingxue looked up at the man in front of her and softly said, "Thank you!"
With that, she stood on her tiptoes, her soft pink lips pressing against Wang Shaojun's face. The next second, she quickly ran off without looking back.
But she didn't forget to wave and say, "Go back and rest early, goodnight!"
Wang Shaojun, on the other hand, raised his hand to touch the spot where he was kissed, the corners of his mouth curving upwards uncontrollably. An entire night's work, exchanged for a first kiss?
It seemed, not bad!
He could feel that the two words 'Thank you' from Ye Lingxue contained too many emotions.
However, judging from her later words, she seemed to have become much more cheerful.
Thinking of this, he turned to look at Butler Wei behind him.
And Butler Wei, seeing him look over, quickly put away the smile on his face, resuming his steady and serious demeanor.
This made Wang Shaojun laugh wryly, "Let's go, back to Xitan Palace!"
The driver heard this, gently pressed the accelerator, and drove the car up.
At the same time!
Inside Xitan Palace!
Li Jiawei eagerly questioned a Maidservant, "How is it, how is it? Have they returned?"
With so many people from the household transferred, how could she not inquire? When she learned that her son had bought the four surrounding estates, she was somewhat surprised.
She didn't understand what Wang Shaojun was up to, but upon hearing that Wang Shaojun had brought back three women from Deep City, her joy was even harder to suppress.
Who cares how many women, as long as her son likes them. It's not like they can't afford to support them. The most important thing is for them to give birth to a few more little ancestors for the Wang family.
Expanding the family line is the top priority; she doesn't care about anything else.
However, she heard that one of them was already over forty, which made her frown, thinking: Does this boy have such a peculiar preference?
Only later did she realize that the older woman was the mother of the other two, which made her breathe a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Wang Shaojun didn't have any improper preferences, otherwise, how would she, as a mother, get along with her daughter-in-law in the future?
Calling each other by different terms? Just thinking about it gave her goosebumps.
Seeing his wife's anxious look, the Maidservant didn't dare to hesitate and quickly reported, "They're back, Madam. Young Lord took them to No. 1 Estate."
"No. 1 Estate? I heard that my in-law's health isn't too good. How about this, tomorrow send someone to buy some tonic, and some accessories too. Tomorrow I want to go see my future daughters-in-law."
"Yes, Madam!"
In Li Jiawei's mind at this moment, a scene was already unfolding: seven or eight chubby little boys and girls gathered around her.
Calling 'Grandma, Grandma, Grandma,' and she, too, would lose herself in these cries of 'Grandma,' her face split in a wide, unclosing smile.
After an unknown amount of time, a shout of 'Mom' pulled her out of her fantasy.
As soon as Wang Shaojun entered, he saw his mother sitting on the sofa, giggling foolishly, which struck him as inexplicable.
He asked the Maidservant nearby and learned that his whereabouts were naturally not concealed, and the Maidservant answered all of Li Jiawei's questions truthfully.
But looking at the current situation, his mother was probably immersed in her fantasy of being called 'Grandma.'
Hearing his call, Li Jiawei finally snapped back to reality.
She quickly pulled Wang Shaojun to sit beside her, but before she could speak, Wang Shaojun raised a hand to stop her.
"Alright, Mom, put your 'Grandma' dream aside for a bit, it won't happen that fast, and..."
He then turned to Butler Wei and said, "Give me the information on the Ye Lingxue sisters."
Butler Wei heard this, immediately took out his phone, pulled up the sisters' information, and handed it over.
Wang Shaojun took the phone, then handed it to Li Jiawei, saying, "This is their information, you can take a look."
Li Jiawei heard this, took the phone with a puzzled expression, and gently scrolled through the screen to read.
Five minutes later!
She felt a bit heavy-hearted, sympathizing with Ye Lingxue and their plight.
It was hard to imagine how these two girls got through that period.
As someone from a rural background herself, she clearly understood the difficulties of life.
What Wang Shaojun didn't expect was Li Jiawei's next words. She suddenly asked seriously, "Xiaojun, are you sincere about them?"
Hearing this, Wang Shaojun didn't answer directly but instead retorted, "Mom, between them and the women at home, who do you think has better figures, temperament, and looks?"
As soon as he said this, Li Jiawei replied without thinking, "Of course, the ones at home."
This was her honest opinion; the Maidservants in Xitan Palace were the most gentle, considerate, and beautiful women she had ever seen, and they possessed an ethereal quality.
Seeing her say this, Wang Shaojun continued, "Then that's that."
"Alright then, Mom doesn't care how many wives you marry in the future, my only request is... never mind, just make sure you have a sense of propriety. You're tired too, hurry up and go shower and rest."
With that, she returned the phone to Butler Wei and went upstairs.
Watching her departing figure, Wang Shaojun naturally understood the meaning behind her words. After all, neither of them was born with a silver spoon in their mouth, and they clearly understood the mindset of such people.
Without overthinking, he brought his thoughts back to the present and turned to Butler Wei, asking, "Ask Zhongzhou if we can research this special medicine for cancer."
It would be best if they could research it. Even if they don't sell it, it's better to be prepared. Who knows if he himself might get cancer in the future?
Butler Wei heard this and nodded, "Yes, Young Lord!"
After giving his instructions, drowsiness instantly overcame him. He stood up, waved his hand, and said, "Alright, that's all for today. It's very late, you all should go back and rest too."
