I am not just a tycoon

Shen Yuan had explained the house construction issue to Ji Ya, when Li Baocai, who had calmed down, suddenly remembered something, "Yuan, I've already built half a level of the house, won't that affect the design?"

Shen Yuan said nonchalantly, "It's alright, even if it doesn't work out, we can tear it down and rebuild."

"Oh, okay then."

Li Baocai's mind hadn't fully adjusted to the concept yet, but now, hearing his great-nephew's casual words, he realized that as long as you have money, many problems aren't really problems.

Before dinner, Shen Yuan had Ji Ya bring a bunch of nutritional and health supplements from the car, and then distributed a red envelope to everyone.

The red envelopes were a whole two sizes bigger than the standard, and they felt thick; it was obvious there was a good amount inside.

There was exactly 10,000 yuan in each envelope, and then Shen Yuan ran into the kitchen to stuff a red packet that was twice as thick into his grandmother's hands.

Grandma said she didn't want it, she had enough money, but after Shen Yuan's persistent insistence, she finally accepted it.

In the summer countryside, evening was the most pleasant time, devoid of the day's scorching heat, with only the comfortable evening breeze and its blend of fragrances.

After dinner, everyone sat in the yard to chat.

The air was filled with the "gugu gugu" croaking of frogs, large patches of green rice straw in the fields had been blown down by the wind, and above them were fireflies twinkling and fluttering around, and even farther above was the vast expanse of a star-filled sky.

Such sights could definitely not be seen in the city; only in the countryside did Shen Yuan feel as if the sky were within reach, with the stars exceptionally bright.

Grandma, holding a palm-leaf fan, occasionally slapped Shen Yuan's leg to keep the mosquitoes from biting.

The elders' conversation always revolved around the children, like now, the eldest aunt was reminiscing about Shen Yuan's childhood.

"Don't even mention it, I still remember Yuan coming back from playing in the mud in the fields, his face all dirty. Look at him now, all grown up."

The second aunt also laughed, "Yeah, Yuan used to stay in the village for at least half a month during summer break, always stirring up trouble, wilder than the kids who grew up in the countryside. The neighbors were worried Yuan would lead their kids astray."

Finally, even Li Hongjuan joined in, "Yuan was quite mischievous in the city as well. Every now and then, I'd be called in by the headteacher. Once, he got into a fight and fell into a dry toilet—it stank!"

With a face that could hardly get any thicker, Shen Yuan, embarrassed by his mom airing his dirty laundry in front of so many people, cleared his throat with a "cough cough," signaling Ms. Li to stop.

However, Li Hongjuan showed no mercy, continuing to recount his childhood embarrassments, making the elders laugh.

My dear mom, your son is 22 years old now, give him some face... Shen Yuan thought helplessly.

Ji Ya was listening with great interest, after all, learning about another side of Shen Yuan wasn't easy.

Eventually, Shen Yuan couldn't take it anymore and stood up with Ji Ya, saying, "Let's go take a walk at the wind power station up on the hill."

"Go ahead, but come back early."

Li Hongjuan waved them off, continuing to indulge in the chit-chat.

At that moment, Shen Xuan also stood up, "Bro, I want to come too."

Shen Yuan couldn't be bothered with her, "Why join the crowd? You should get some sleep earlier, there won't be enough room in the bathroom later with so many people."

"Oh."

Shen Xuan had no choice but to sit back down with a gloomy look.

A few years ago, a wind power station was built on the hill behind Grandma's house, and Shen Yuan thought the huge rotating blades were very beautiful, so he often went up the hill.

However, in the past, he went alone; today, he had Ji Ya's company.

After about fifteen minutes of driving, Shen Yuan parked the G63 under a wind turbine and got out of the car.

These large machines had to be looked up at to be fully seen, and the wind was good tonight, so the blades were spinning even faster than during the day.

Visiting the same place at different times brought different feelings.

He used to think this place was exceptionally beautiful, with rotating blades all over the hills and the vast sky above his head.

But after a trip to southern Yunnan, it felt just okay, not as beautiful as in his memory.

Up on the hill, not only was the wind stronger, but the temperature was also lower. Ji Ya was only wearing a thin T-shirt, her arms huddled in front of her chest.

Shen Yuan glanced at her, "Cold?"

Ji Ya nodded, "Yeah."

Shen Yuan opened his arms, "No problem, you won't be cold if you hug me."

After a moment's hesitation, Ji Ya reached out into Shen Yuan's embrace, her soft weapons pressing against his warm, broad chest, and suddenly, she didn't feel so cold anymore.

She wrapped her arms around Shen Yuan's waist, resting her chin lightly on his shoulder, and gazing at the starry sky, she remarked, "Mr. Shen, it's so beautiful here."

"When we are alone, you don't have to call me Mr. Shen."

Shen Yuan gently stroked Ji Ya's back, "But this place really is beautiful, it feels close to the sky."

"Yes."

Ji Ya lightly nodded her chin, "But I am used to calling you Mr. Shen. If I don't call you that, what should I call you?"

"Whatever you want to call me."

Shen Yuan's fingers wandered over her back, then moved down to her waist, a handful of waist that felt very good to grip, and eventually, Shen Yuan's hand rested on her buttocks.

With a casual pinch, it was bouncy and soft. Continue reading at My Virtual Library Empire

Ji Ya's cheeks blushed slightly, "Mr. Sh... Aren't you going to want it right here?"

Shen Yuan didn't speak but responded with actions, and Ji Ya felt the growing heat, sometimes pinching Shen Yuan's back, sometimes biting her own lip, and her body would also tremble inadvertently.

In the end, Ji Ya could barely stand, and she said with a pleading tone, "Can we do it in the car? It's windy here."

Shen Yuan raised an eyebrow, "What do you call me?"

Ji Ya bit her plump lips and, with the force of her arms, hugged Shen Yuan tightly, whispering in a mosquito-like voice, "Master, tonight I am your midnight snack, but can you enjoy me in the car?"

...

...

The next day.

After lunch, Shen Yuan and Ji Ya prepared to return home, while Old Shen and Ms. Li were planning to stay in the village for a few more days with Shen Xuan.

Just before departure, grandma insisted on stuffing two large boxes full of food into Shen Yuan's trunk.

"There's fermented tofu, and pork blood meatballs. Also, I had your uncle get up early to butcher two chickens and two ducks, and there's chopped chili..."

Holding Shen Yuan's hand, grandma detailed what was in the boxes and told him to put them in the fridge immediately upon return, stating some items needed to be eaten within a few days, while others should be placed in the freezer.

Shen Yuan didn't mind grandma's fussing, listened quietly until she finished, and then holding grandma's wrinkled hand, he said, "Don't worry, grandma, I've got it all."

"And..."

Before grandma could finish, she patted Shen Yuan's shoulder, signaling him to lower his head to listen.

Grandma was only a little over five feet tall, so Shen Yuan had to bend down.

She whispered, "This girl is good, so pretty and really cares about you. If possible, you should marry her soon."

It seemed Ms. Li hadn't mentioned Chen Na's existence to grandma... Shen Yuan replied with a smile, "That's not the case, we are just friends. Even if I liked her, she might not like me back."

Grandma stamped her foot, dissatisfied, "Where's that spirit you had chasing girls when you were little? Back then you would run to a girl's house every day. Let me tell you, when chasing girls, you need the guts and the attention to detail, don't be afraid!"

"Alright, alright, I got it, grandma."

Shen Yuan scratched his ear, thinking maybe one day he should bring grandma to Star City to see his ten girlfriends.

Chasing girls, your great-grandson is a pro!

Under grandma's waving goodbye, Shen Yuan and Ji Ya left Jinzhou Town. After more than an hour's drive, they returned to their villa.

Shen Yuan helped Ji Ya move the food from the trunk into the fridge, then asked her to divide it into three parts; he planned to keep one part for himself, give another to the pregnant Nana, and the last one to the moving Teacher Lih.

He had the day free and was just about to visit Aunt Xinyu and the Lih sisters.

But plans always fall short of changes, and just as Shen Yuan had opened a can of Ice-Cola, Zhou Peiwei sent a message via WeChat.

"Jerk, I'm visiting your new house now, is it convenient?"

Shen Yuan couldn't quite understand the timing of this message, considering he had just been home for less than 5 minutes. However, since he had declined her last time, there was no reason to refuse this time.

Shen Yuan: "Come on, I'll be waiting after I shower."

Zhou Peiwei: "Pervert! You better not take advantage of me like last time, I know Taekwondo."

Shen Yuan: "No worries, my striking skills are also quite solid."

Zhou Peiwei: "Keep boasting. I'm coming over, come to the door to meet me later."

After arranging with sister Peiwei, Shen Yuan immediately told Ji Ya to go ahead and take care of the house-building matter for Uncle's family.

Ji Ya knew it wasn't urgent, but since Shen Yuan had suggested it, it implied that the person he was about to meet at home, it wouldn't be convenient for her to be present. So, she got into the Defender and left.
