Becoming a Billionaire after Divorce

What he said was true. You can't learn to swim without swallowing a few bellyfuls of water, unless you're exceptionally talented.

"Really?" Jiang Ziyan asked, only half-believing him.

"Of course. If you don't believe me, go ask your Sister Yiren and see if I lied."

That convinced her.

"Want to go again?" Sun Dasheng asked.

She wasn't the type to give up. Gritting her teeth, she said, "Let's go!"

He had to give her credit; she was making him see her in a new light. She wasn't just some delicate little thing.

After several more tries, Jiang Ziyan actually learned to swim. Though it was only the most basic doggy paddle and she couldn't go far, she was still jumping for joy. She even called out to Xiang Yiren to show off the results of her training.

From across the pool, Xiang Yiren gave her a thumbs-up before continuing to coach Lu Qingyun.

Sun Dasheng held Jiang Ziyan and swam a few more laps, mainly to correct her posture. But as they swam, he noticed something was wrong. Why was there a pair of hands misbehaving below the surface?

He looked down at Jiang Ziyan in his arms. Her eyes glistened like the pool's surface, on the verge of overflowing. The already scant fabric of her swimsuit had vanished into thin air.

"Don't!" Sun Dasheng grabbed her hands.

This girl was even crazier than he was. How could she become so aroused right here?

"No... I just want to do it with Brother Sun right here," Jiang Ziyan murmured, pulling his head down for a kiss.

Fine! If you're this shameless, what can I do?

Soon, the splashing from their corner of the pool grew louder and more intense.

Xiang Yiren and Lu Qingyun, on the opposite side, quickly noticed.

"Sister Yiren, what are they doing over there?" Lu Qingyun asked, feigning ignorance.

Xiang Yiren pinched her ear. "Jiang Ziyan is becoming more and more wanton, doing it with Brother Sun right here..."

Before she could finish, Lu Qingyun cried out in pain from the pinch. "Sister Yiren, it was Sister Ziyun who did something bad, why are you pinching my ear?"

How unfair! she screamed inwardly.

"Who made Ziyan your mentor? If she displeases me and I can't get to her right now, you'll have to bear it for her." Xiang Yiren had her own bizarre logic.

That makes no sense at all, Lu Qingyun cried inwardly, but she didn't dare say it out loud. Among the three of them, Xiang Yiren had always been the big sister, and she would never dare to defy her.

Soon, Xiang Yiren let go. Lu Qingyun breathed a sigh of relief, only to hear her murmur, "Qingyun, would you like to..."

Before she could finish, Lu Qingyun was already shaking her little head in refusal. "No, I don't want to! Not at all! Sister Yiren, you have to believe me!"

"Hey... I'm not accusing you. I'm asking if you want to take your Sister Ziyun's place."

At those words, Lu Qingyun felt a dampness spread through her. Of course, she wanted to. It had been so long since she had enjoyed Brother Sun's comfort, and she was feeling a little lonely. Especially at her age—not too young, not too old—an age where one has tasted pleasure and now constantly craves more.

"If you stay silent, I'll take that as a yes," Xiang Yiren said.

"But... they're still over there. How can I..."

"Don't worry, I have a plan."

Lu Qingyun never expected Sister Yiren's plan to be so simple and blunt.

She simply shouted at the top of her lungs, "Brother Sun, Qingyun swallowed a lot of water and fainted! Come take a look! I don't know what to do!"

The effect was immediate. The activity on the other side of the pool stopped, and Sun Dasheng quickly swam over.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

Xiang Yiren pushed the feigning Lu Qingyun into his arms. "Quick, take a look. I don't know what's going on."

Then, she glanced toward Jiang Ziyan, who was flailing her way toward them. "Ziyan still looks unsteady in the water. She might not make it over. I'll go help her."

"Alright, go check on her. I was in such a rush that I just left her there. I forgot to get her to the side first," Sun Dasheng said with a nod.

With his permission, Xiang Yiren turned and swam toward Jiang Ziyan.

"Qingyun, wake up!" Sun Dasheng gently patted the face of the woman in his arms.

Even though he used as little force as possible, the pats still made Lu Qingyun's face, where she was feigning unconsciousness, sting with heat.

Seeing that she hadn't woken up, Sun Dasheng prepared to take her ashore to administer aid. But before he had swum more than a few meters, the woman in his arms slowly came to.

"Brother Sun, why are you here? Am I dead?"

Her act was quite convincing; at least, Sun Dasheng didn't see through it.

"Nonsense. You just choked on some water and passed out," Sun Dasheng said, holding her comfortingly.

Lu Qingyun sobbed, clinging to him. "Waaah... I thought I was dead."

"There, there, it's okay now. I'm here." He held her close, stroking her back soothingly.

It was highly effective. The beauty in his arms stopped crying and tilted her head up, asking for a kiss. He didn't refuse, assuming she was still shaken and needed comfort.

However, the scope of this "comfort" grew larger and larger, until eventually...

On the other side of the pool, a panting Jiang Ziyan reached Xiang Yiren. "Sister Yiren, is Qingyun okay?"

Xiang Yiren saw the blush that hadn't yet faded from her face and huffed, "You little vixen, what were you just doing? Huh?"

As her ear was pinched, Jiang Ziyan was baffled but still cried out in pain, begging for mercy. "Sister Yiren, I was wrong."

"Wrong about what?"

"I was wrong... huh? What was I wrong about?"

Seeing her confused expression, Xiang Yiren chuckled and let go. She now understood that the other woman hadn't been trying to show off or provoke them. She must have been holding it in for days and just couldn't take it anymore, so she started right here.

"Alright, I won't hold today's events against you," Xiang Yiren said.

Slowly, Jiang Ziyan seemed to understand what she meant. She blushed and asked, "Sister Yiren, you and Qingyun knew about... what just happened?"

"Of course. You weren't exactly quiet."

"The waves you were making were probably bigger than the ones in this pool."

Jiang Ziyan's face turned crimson. She shifted awkwardly. "It wasn't that exaggerated."

"Heh... you'll see just how exaggerated it was in a moment," Xiang Yiren said with a mysterious smile, glancing behind her.

Jiang Ziyan followed her gaze, wondering what riddle her sister was playing at now. She soon found out. From the other end of the pool, a massive commotion was building. Muffled cries could be heard from time to time.

"Heh, see? Now you know what you sounded like?" Xiang Yiren watched her with a playful look.

"So... Qingyun is fine? That was you guys...?"

"That's right. For a moment, I thought you were deliberately provoking us," Xiang Yiren admitted. "But now I see I misunderstood. You simply couldn't hold back anymore."

"I should apologize to you."

"No need!" Jiang Ziyan said, rushing to steady her. "I was in the wrong, too."

In no time, their sisterly bond was restored.

As they talked, Jiang Ziyan kept glancing enviously at the far side of the pool until Xiang Yiren pulled her ashore.

"Let's go up and rest. You don't want to be out of energy when Brother Sun is finally free. That would be a shame."

"As if," Jiang Ziyan retorted, though she followed Xiang Yiren out of the water. The way she licked her lips gave her away; she was still reminiscing about the passion in the water.

After a few glasses of red wine left them both a little woozy, the activities on the other side finally concluded.

Sun Dasheng walked over carrying a sleeping Lu Qingyun and gently placed her on a lounge chair.

"She's asleep already?" Xiang Yiren went to cover her with a blanket. She found it incredible. Fall asleep in the middle of *that*? It was a first for her, and she was, in a way, impressed.

"What are you thinking about now? She was just exhausted afterward and fell asleep in my arms," he explained.

"Oh! Afterward, you mean. I thought..."

"You thought what?" Sun Dasheng glanced at her, annoyed. "Your mind is always full of strange ideas. That stunt in the pool, was that your idea?"

"Alright, I'll watch her. There's another one over there waiting for you to satisfy her." Xiang Yiren pushed him away, not wanting him to ask any more questions and expose their ruse.

Sun Dasheng walked over to Jiang Ziyan, who swayed as she stood up, nearly tumbling over. Luckily, he was quick enough to catch her. "What's wrong with you? Why did you drink so much?"

"Can you even handle it? If not, we should just go home."

Hearing the words "can't handle it" provoked Jiang Ziyan more than it did him.

"Who says I can't handle it? Huh? Whether I can or not, why don't we find out?"

She grabbed his hand, and the two of them returned to the pool. She was still savoring the memory of their earlier passion. The pool truly was the perfect place.

In the pool, looking at the dazed Jiang Ziyan, Sun Dasheng felt a mix of amusement and affection. His movements were gentle, and he was exceptionally attentive to the beautiful woman in his arms.
