"I was already going slow," Li Yang rested his head on her fragrant shoulder, reaching out to hold her tightly.
Tang Xinyu didn't believe him. "You're just lying to me."
The speed just now had made her question her very existence, almost causing her to faint from the stimulation. If that was considered slow, then how fast was normal?
"You don't believe me? Then I won't slow down now and will do it again for you." Li Yang said, preparing to turn over.
Tang Xinyu exclaimed in panic, "No, no, you still have the strength?"
"I don't know why, but I feel even more energetic than before." Li Yang looked at her flustered expression, smiled, and didn't actually go through with it again.
Otherwise, he was genuinely worried Tang Xinyu wouldn't be able to handle it.
Tang Xinyu wriggled her head a bit, looking at his bright eyes, and was very surprised. "What do you usually eat?"
"You don't eat goji berries like they're rice, do you?"
"Nonsense, I'm in very good health and don't need to eat those things." Li Yang raised his hand and patted her perky bottom.
"Ah, you're getting embarrassed."
"Still don't believe me? Then I'm really going to deal with you."
"Li Yang, you, ahhh..."
That night, a torrential rain fell. The flowers in the pond swayed left and then right with the wind and rain, completely unable to resist, left to be ravaged by the storm.
It was already noon the next day when Tang Xinyu slowly woke up. She felt an indescribable soreness all over her body. Seeing Li Yang already dressed and sitting on the edge of the bed playing a match-three game, she immediately said in annoyance, "You were too rough, I'm not doing it with you anymore."
"Didn't you not believe me?" Li Yang turned his head, smiled, and stroked her cheek. "Now you know how capable your man is, so you believe, right?"
"You, don't get smug. I was just not in the right state yesterday. Next time, who will be the one tossing whom is still up for debate!" Tang Xinyu said.
Li Yang chuckled, "Just keep being tsundere. No matter how hard you try, you'll still wake up at noon obediently."
"As if you woke up a long time ago," Tang Xinyu said, looking at him. "I think you only woke up ten minutes earlier at most."
"I was up early in the morning," Li Yang laughed heartily, picking up the breakfast next to him. "See, the breakfast is cold, and I even specially bought you a set of clothes to change into."
"If I wasn't worried about leaving you alone in the room, I would have left long ago."
"Oh, stop talking, aren't you embarrassed?" Tang Xinyu touched the breakfast. It was indeed cold, and she immediately, annoyed, terminated the topic.
Li Yang laughed heartily, "Why are you so adorably tsundere?"
"You're the tsundere."
"Alright, my Miss Tang, hurry up and take a shower. I'll take you out to eat something," Li Yang said, patting her fragrant shoulder. "Okay?"
"Mhm, wait for me." Tang Xinyu was indeed hungry. She took a bite of the cold meat bun before getting up.
As she was about to get off the bed, she felt her legs go weak and almost fell to her knees.
Li Yang grabbed her arm and said, "Be careful, don't rush."
"It's all your fault, why did you use so much force?" Tang Xinyu said, her cheeks flushed red, a mix of shyness and annoyance.
Hearing this, Li Yang didn't retort but simply burst into hearty laughter.
Any man who could conquer a woman to this extent would probably be unable to resist laughing proudly.
It was similar to how a woman would think when she saw a man walking out of her room, leaning on the wall.
After a while, Tang Xinyu came out wearing the new clothes Li Yang bought for her and asked him, "How is it?"
"Very beautiful," Li Yang said, smiling and embracing her slender waist. "Let's go, let's go eat."
"Mhm." Tang Xinyu nestled against him like a devoted lover.
The two of them walked out of the hotel, affectionate like a pair of celestial lovers.
After eating, Li Yang drove her directly to her company and then planned to drive to the Fuhai Jade Gambling Site.
Halfway there, Shui Xiang called. "Li Yang, where are you now?"
"On the way to your place," Li Yang replied.
Shui Xiang said, "No need to come to the gambling site anymore. Boss Jin, who has been supplying me with jade rough, has arrived. You drive directly to the Dajiang Ferry Terminal, I'll wait for you there."
"Okay, I'm coming now." Li Yang nodded, recalibrated his navigation, and drove towards the Dajiang Ferry Terminal.
Shui Xiang had mentioned the supplier to him a few days ago. He heard that this Boss Jin was an old hand in jade and had connections with owners of jade mines in southern Myanmar.
As Li Yang drove over, he saw Shui Xiang standing near the entrance of the ferry terminal, talking to a middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance, slightly tanned skin, and a buzz cut.
Upon seeing his car, Shui Xiang immediately smiled and said, "Boss Jin, my partner is here."
"Oh really? Then I must take a good look and see what kind of person it is that can make Boss Shui agree to be partners." Boss Jin said with a smile, feeling a bit curious.
He had also proposed a partnership to Shui Xiang half a year ago, but she had refused.
Moreover, a great beauty like Shui Xiang surely wouldn't lack partners, yet she had none until now. The sudden appearance of one indeed made him curious.
The car door opened, and a young man dressed simply got out and closed the door.
Boss Jin was a little surprised. If Li Yang hadn't closed the car door and walked directly towards them, he would have suspected that Li Yang was just an assistant and the real boss was still inside.
"Boss Shui, this is the partner you mentioned?"
"Yes, his name is Li Yang." Shui Xiang walked over, hooked her arm around Li Yang's, and smiled. "This is Boss Jin, an old hand in jade."
"You two should get acquainted."
"Hello there, Boss Jin." Li Yang smiled and extended a hand.
Boss Jin shook his hand and said, "I truly didn't expect Boss Shui's partner to be so young. Boss Li, you are truly blessed, I'm envious of you!"
"Haha, Boss Jin is too kind. Where are the stones?" Li Yang said with a smile.
Boss Jin turned and pointed. "They are in that container over there. Usually, I sell them here for seven days. If there are many left unsold, I'll take them to the city to find buyers. However, for many years, I've done this every quarter, and thanks to Boss Shui, I've never had unsold goods. Now, I also thank you, Boss Li."
"Boss Jin is too eloquent. I'm just one of your many buyers, I can't possibly help you that much," Shui Xiang said with a smile.
As they chatted and laughed, the few of them had already reached the entrance of the container.
Boss Jin said to the two helpers guarding the entrance, "Open the door."
"Okay." The helpers opened the door. Inside, there were many stones, and buyers had to find them themselves.
