"So that’s how it is..." Feng Chunling sighed deeply. Seeing her like this, Liu Ergou gently patted her shoulder.
"It’s okay, Auntie."
"I’m here for you. Even if the sky falls, I’ll be here to hold it up. You have a long life ahead of you, so you can’t be sighing all the ti."
Hearing Liu Ergou’s words, Feng Chunling managed to force a smile. "Okay, Er Gou, I understand."
Just as Feng Chunling was about to say sothing else, Liu Ergou suddenly interrupted her. "Auntie, you seem to be in a bad mood," he said. "How about this? Let help you relieve so stress. I guarantee you’ll feel much better when I’m done. What do you say?"
Without giving Feng Chunling a chance to respond, Liu Ergou quickly had her in the sa state as Yang i. Then, with Yang i in one arm and Feng Chunling in the other, he walked into the room. Soon, a dley of unusual sounds began to drift out, lasting for more than an hour before finally stopping.
Afterward, Feng Chunling was nestled in Liu Ergou’s arms, her face flushed crimson.
Looking at her, Liu Ergou asked with a smile, "Auntie, now that I’ve helped you unwind, do you feel any better?"
Feng Chunling imdiately nodded. "Mhm, I feel much better now!"
Hearing her say this, Liu Ergou felt sowhat relieved. He put on his clothes and headed for the kitchen. As he walked, he said, "Auntie, you and Yang i can take tomorrow off from the plantation. In a couple of days, I’ll take you both to the city. How about I cook dinner for you tonight?"
With that, Liu Ergou began preparing dinner. He was a fast cook, whipping up three dishes and a soup in less than half an hour. Once the al was ready, he left and went back to his own house.
Liu Ergou arrived ho, expecting to find the five won gathered and waiting for him. To his surprise, however, only Mi Xiaoying and He Mingxue were in the room. This left him puzzled. Where could his sister-in-law, Lu Shuangyue, and Liu Yunxi be?
Seeing the confused look on his face, Mi Xiaoying knew what he was thinking and explained, "This is what happened, Er Gou. While you were out, the village chief ca by. He told your sister-in-law that the big boss investing in the farmstay had arrived and was asking for you.
"Since you weren’t ho, Shuang Yue said she would go in your place."
Realization dawned on Liu Ergou. "So that’s what happened!" he said, already heading for the door. "If Shuang Yue has gone, I need to go and see for myself. I won’t be at ease otherwise."
Seeing him head outside, Mi Xiaoying and He Mingxue quickly got up to follow. "Er Gou, we’ll co with you!" they said.
Liu Ergou had no objection. Soon, the three of them arrived at the village committee building.
As Liu Ergou entered the village committee building, a familiar figure caught his eye, stunning him. That sa figure also froze on the spot upon seeing him. The two of them simply locked eyes, and four or five seconds passed in silence.
Finally, the familiar figure shouted, "Er Gou, what are you doing here?"
Liu Ergou didn’t answer, countering instead, "Orange, I should be asking you the sa thing. What are you doing here? Don’t tell you’re the boss who wants to invest in the farmstay!"
The familiar figure was indeed Orange Bear. She heard Liu Ergou and nodded imdiately. "Yep, that’s . I’m the boss who’s investing in the farmstay. Is there a problem?"
Liu Ergou was left dumbstruck. He never imagined Orange Bear would be the one investing in the farmstay; it was a genuine shock.
After a mont of stunned silence, Liu Ergou finally asked, "But... Orange, why do you want to open a farmstay? If I rember correctly, your live-streaming company is doing great. There’s no need for this!"
Hearing this, Orange Bear flashed a mysterious smile. "Hehehe, isn’t it obvious? It’s all for you, Er Gou!"
Her words left Liu Ergou completely baffled. All for ? What does she an by that? I don’t get it.
Seeing his perplexed expression, Orange Bear laughed and explained, "Oh, you’re so frustrating! Do I really have to spell it out for you?"
As she spoke, Orange Bear stepped forward, nestled into Liu Ergou’s arms, and whispered, "I was thinking we could create a secret base for all our sisters! When we all get together, we can’t have nowhere to go, can we?"
The realization hit Liu Ergou like a lightning bolt. He looked at Orange Bear, his eyes filled with amazent. He never expected her to be so thoughtful.
But then another question surfaced in his mind. "Wait, Orange, I just realized... why our village? Why did you suddenly decide to invest here? Not to be rude, but it doesn’t seem like our village has much to offer."
Seeing his puzzled expression, Orange Bear replied, "Oh, co on, what’s wrong with Fengzhu Village? Not only is it picturesque, but it’s also your hotown. I think setting up a farmstay here is absolutely perfect!"
With that, Orange Bear gave Liu Ergou a playful wink.
Seeing this, it all clicked for him. So much for the picturesque scenery... that was all just an excuse. In reality, she did this all for !
The thought alone made him want to bend down and plant a fierce kiss on her right then and there. But I’m in the village committee office. It wouldn’t be appropriate...
So, Liu Ergou could only smile at her and say, "Well done."
Receiving his praise, Orange Bear bead, looking happier than ever.
Just as Liu Ergou was about to sit down and discuss the farmstay investnt with Orange Bear, Liu Jingming walked in. When Liu Jingming saw Liu Ergou, he imdiately moved to introduce Orange Bear, but Liu Ergou stopped him.
"Ahem, Village Chief, there’s no need for an introduction. We already know each other."
At these words, a look of shock spread across Liu Jingming’s face. Liu Ergou knows the investor?! That’s... genuinely surprising.
But Liu Jingming had seen his fair share of storms. After only a few seconds of surprise, his expression returned to normal.
