70: Transform from silkworm to butterfly, soar freely in the sky.

After returning to the room, Chen Li went to take a shower first.

When he walked out of the bathroom while drying his hair, Gu Qingcheng walked in with her pajamas.

When the bathroom door opened again, amidst the swirling steam, Gu Qingcheng walked out wearing a silk pajama set.

Under the soft lighting, her skin exuded a warm, moist luster, like fine mutton-fat jade.

Droplets of water still clung to the tips of her damp hair, sliding down her graceful neckline.

Her face appeared even more elegant and otherworldly in the swirling steam, like a freshly bloomed white magnolia, beautiful and untainted by dust.

Chen Li was momentarily dazed; she was truly worthy of her 93-point appearance. At this moment, she was so beautiful that one couldn't tear their eyes away.

Noticing Chen Li's completely stunned gaze, the blush that had just faded from Gu Qingcheng's cheeks quietly crept back up, and a trace of sweetness welled up in her heart.

She clearly knew the attraction her appearance held for the opposite sex, but at this moment, she only cared about the gaze of the man before her.

Tonight, she would offer her most precious possession—to the person she loved the most.

She did not feign modesty and walked straight up to Chen Li, lightly sitting on his lap facing him.

The two were so close they could feel each other's breath. Her clear, beautiful eyes gazed at Chen Li as her slender fingers unbuttoned his buttons one by one...

"Husband," she said, her voice soft and light, tinged with a hint of shyness, "Am I beautiful?"

Chen Li's Adam's apple bobbed; he felt his throat go dry, and he simply couldn't take his eyes off her: "Beautiful..."

Hearing his hoarse reply, a gentle smile filled Gu Qingcheng's eyes.

She gently cupped his face, closed her eyes, and slowly kissed him...

Half a minute later, Gu Qingcheng, already soaked, whispered in his ear with a pleading, tearful tone: "Husband..."

...(One hundred thousand words omitted here)

【Congratulations to the host, task completed, physical constitution strengthened to its peak.】

【Distributing rewards now.】

Chen Li clearly felt a transformation from the inside out; the previous stiffness in his lower back had vanished without a trace,

replaced by an unprecedented vitality coursing through and gathering in his meridians.

A surging tension gathered in his lower abdomen, displaying a significant and firm change; the throbbing of the awakened creature made his breath hitch.

This subtle change clearly affected Gu Qingcheng as well; her hands couldn't help but grip the pillow tightly, her brows furrowed slightly, and a faint whimper escaped her throat.

At this moment, he truly felt that he had completed some kind of transformation, like a butterfly emerging from a cocoon, ready to spread its wings and fly...

The morning sun cut a beam of light through the gap in the curtains, shining obliquely into the room and painting a warm, bright patch on the wooden floor.

After one night...

Chen Li woke up early and was surprised to find his entire state refreshed—the previous lower back pain had disappeared without a trace, and his whole body was full of vitality. This change surprised him secretly.

Looking at Gu Qingcheng who was still sleeping, he kissed her forehead and got up to make breakfast.

Before long, the aroma of fried eggs drifted from the kitchen. Chen Li, wearing an apron, prepared breakfast with skillful movements.

Although he had tried his best to restrain himself last night, it was still too much for someone who had just experienced such things for the first time.

"Is Qingcheng still not awake?"

Mother Gu sat on the living room sofa, feeling a bit apologetic, "I should have let her get up to make breakfast."

"It's fine, let her sleep a bit more. I can make it just the same." Chen Li deftly flipped the fried egg.

He served the steaming beef noodles on the dining table, topped with a golden fried egg, accompanied by a glass of warm milk.

"Auntie, come over and have breakfast."

Then he carefully prepared another portion and gently carried it into the bedroom.

Gu Qingcheng was still curled up under the covers, with only half her sleepy face visible, long hair spread across the pillow, and her eyelashes fluttering as she woke up.

"Qingcheng, eat something first." Chen Li sat by the bed and called to her softly.

"Hmm..." she replied softly, trying to get up, but couldn't help but gasp and frown slightly.

"Does it still hurt a lot?" Chen Li quickly supported her, his tone full of self-reproach, "It's all my fault for not restraining myself."

"It's okay..." she shook her head, her cheeks flushing.

With Chen Li's support, she slowly sat up and ate her breakfast in small bites.

Perhaps because the physical exertion had been too great, she finished the entire bowl of noodles in no time.

"Do you feel any better?" Chen Li took the empty bowl and watched her with a smile.

Gu Qingcheng immediately understood what he was referring to and shyly buried her face in his chest.

After resting for a while, she tried to get out of bed and walk around.

At first, she needed Chen Li's support, and her steps were a bit awkward, but she was soon able to walk on her own.

Fortunately, it was the weekend, so there were two full days to rest properly.

Mother Gu watched her daughter's gait from the side, and as someone who had been through it, she understood immediately.

She pursed her lips and smiled, saying nothing, but feeling secretly relieved in her heart—

Chen Li chatted with them for a while, and only left when the auntie responsible for cooking arrived on time to report for duty.

The plan to buy a car for Tang You had long been set. On the other side, Gu Qingcheng also received a call from the 4S dealership to pick up her car; she couldn't drive, so she would have to go pick it up herself.

Chen Li arrived at the company to pick up Tang You. They both knew clearly that they had to give Tang Yifeng a reasonable explanation for buying the car.

Chen Li had long been prepared for this. He used the excuse of adding a decent "facade" car for the company and stated that he would pay for it personally, with it registered directly under Tang You's name.

Regarding this arrangement, Tang Yifeng naturally wouldn't say anything—after all, Chen Li was the company's largest shareholder, and now that he was paying out of his own pocket, there was nothing to criticize either publicly or privately.

Once in the passenger seat, Tang You involuntarily glanced at Chen Li, who was driving. The scene that had happened in the office a few days ago suddenly flashed through her mind, and her cheeks instantly burned slightly.

She quickly turned her head to look out the window, trying to hide the inner turmoil.

"Have you decided what car you want?" Chen Li looked at Tang You beside him.

"Is the same bmw 7 series as the one I had before okay?" Tang You turned her head.

"This time, we need to go up a notch,"

Chen Li smiled, "This car represents the company's image; it can't be too low-end."

"Then... what about a Bentley?" Tang You suggested hesitantly.

"Sure, a Bentley is just right."

Chen Li nodded. A customized Bentley should reach the ten-million level. Thinking this, he directly turned the car and drove toward the Bentley 4S dealership.

As soon as she walked into the showroom, Tang You was captivated by the lineup of luxury cars before her.

She took Chen Li's hand and, like a child entering a candy store, excitedly shuttled between the various display cars.

Tang You was full of curiosity about almost every display car. She opened the car doors, sat in the driver's seats, and gently gripped the steering wheels, feeling the touch and view of the top-tier luxury cars.

Chen Li's original plan was to make a quick decision, but seeing her so happy in the moment, he put aside his urgency and followed along leisurely.
