I Became the Mother of His Child

Xu Xiuxiu was astonished by Ye Hua's grand gesture. While she was longing for it, she also felt somewhat hesitant and indecisive due to her lack of confidence. After all, the responsibility of Soup City already weighed heavily on her. She felt dizzy and overwhelmed from her daily hustles and feared that adding an area of 50,000 square meters would keep her up with worries through the night.

The extreme duality of leaping straight to wealth or falling into poverty with a single misstep wasn't something everyone had the courage to try. Ye Hua was a loner, and at worst, if he lost his money, he could earn it back. But what about her? She enjoyed a happy and stable life, and she had three children to support. She had even risked all the secret savings of Lieutenant Colonel Song Yuanhuan. If it all fell apart, she had no idea how to pick up the pieces.

So at night, after Xiuxiu had put the three children to sleep, she returned to the master bedroom and waited for Song Yuanhuan, who had just taken a bath,

to join her while sitting crossed-legged on the bed.

"What are you doing sitting up? Why don't you lie down?" Song Yuanhuan asked casually, raising an eyebrow.

"Mr. Song, I have something serious to discuss with you. Please come over," Xiuxiu said earnestly and gravely, then patted the empty space on the bed beside her.

"Hmm," Song Yuanhuan sat down cooperatively, "Go ahead!"

"Today, Ye Hua showed me a document. He wants to buy all 50,000 square meters of land next to Soup City, right across the lake, that large area." To make sure Song Yuanhuan understood the specific location, Xu Xiuxiu patiently described it, "By acquiring that land and then introducing capital-intensive projects like large amusement rides and water parks, I feel uncertain and lack confidence. I'm afraid of expanding too much and not being able to manage the potential mess. But then, I think about the substantial profits that amusement parks and water parks can yield. After Soup City is built, the tourism industry in Z City is bound to increase significantly, and given that there aren't many top-notch amusement facilities in our country, the benefits of securing this land could be astonishing. I do want to take the risk and try; after all, the market is like that, where risks and benefits coexist. There's no such thing as pure profit without risk in this world, right? But... I'm afraid. If it fails, I don't know what to do." Xiuxiu was least confident about facing the aftermath of failure.

"If you have an idea, you should try," Song Yuanhuan supported Xu Xiuxiu without any reservation, "And if things don't work out, I'm still here! I'll take care of you and our four children."

"Really?" Xu Xiuxiu had been bracing for Song Yuanhuan to stop her, for his prudent nature as a military man would surely be tempted by wealth, yet he would likely prioritize safety in the end, "Even if I lose, even if we're bankrupt and in massive debt, it doesn't matter?" Xiuxiu asked incredulously.

"Hmm. It doesn't matter," Song Yuanhuan nodded earnestly, "No matter what, I'll support you all. You should trust your man's strength." Song Yuanhuan wasn't just talking big; as a Lieutenant Colonel, he was confident and capable of providing for his family.

"Ah..." Xu Xiuxiu had prepared herself mentally, but Song Yuanhuan's response was completely different from what she had expected. She let out an exclamation in her impatience, then fell onto the bed and furiously flailed a few times, "Mr. Song, why don't you talk me out of it? Indulging me like this, it's easy for me to become arrogant and unrestrainable," Xu Xiuxiu grumbled, seemingly arguing with herself. She had initially been ready to be persuaded and stopped by Song Yuanhuan. Yet, he didn't try to stop her at all; instead, he was encouraging her, making her wonder if she should let go of all her worries.

"You won't," Song Yuanhuan trusted Xu Xiuxiu's self-control, aware that she was more intelligent than anyone else, "Besides, I like to indulge you." As he gently stroked Xiuxiu's hair with his large hand, Song Yuanhuan's spontaneously uttered words were irresistibly alluring.

"What if you spoil me rotten?" Xu Xiuxiu asked, lifting her head slightly.

"Just keep spoiling you until no one else dares to take you, then spoil you back into shape," Song Yuanhuan said with extreme ease.

To spoil someone rotten and then try to fix them is not so easy! Xu Xiuxiu muttered to herself while watching Song Yuanhuan, then suddenly sprang up, "Song Yuanhuan, how could God bear to send such a good man to me, Xu Xiuxiu? It's such a waste."

Xu Xiuxiu had to admit that she was moved by Song Yuanhuan's sweet nothings, excitedly ditching her previous wails of self-pity, and pounced into Song Yuanhuan's arms like a kitten.

"I'm happy to be spoiled by you." Song Yuanhuan took Xu Xiuxiu in his arms, one hand around her slender waist and the other cradling the back of her head. At this moment, their eyes met—one high, one low—Song Yuanhuan beneath, Xu Xiuxiu above, their posture intimate and seductive, "Xu Xiuxiu, please spoil me without any mercy," he said, kneading her waist and lying down on his own.

Oh boy, this tempting look from the little lady completely drew out the wild and domineering side deep within Xu Xiuxiu's heart, and then she went completely wolf.

"Little lady, you'd better not scream, you know? The louder you scream, the more it excites me." Xu Xiuxiu's index finger coyly lifted Song Yuanhuan's firm chin, her lips curling into a wicked smile.

Who knows how it happened, but while they should have been discussing the 50,000 square meter property, Xu Xiuxiu's frustration had turned into a scene where the little wife is being ravaged by a rough man, and Xu Xiuxiu was that rough man, Song Yuanhuan the little wife being ravaged by her.

Xu Xiuxiu's words carried a touch of dominance, but Song Yuanhuan lay beneath her, utterly resigned to being ravaged, creating a picture that was as bizarre as it was thrilling.

"Awoo... little fairy, I can't hold back!" Xu Xiuxiu transformed into a little wolf, and with a howl, she pounced on Song Yuanhuan.

As the night deepened, the air in the room became dense, the two of them masculine and positive, yet intertwined as closely as the yin and yang of the Tai Chi symbol.

...

With the limitless support of Song Yuanhuan behind her, the next day Xu Xiuxiu quickly responded to Ye Hua with her decision, and the two swiftly joined forces to acquire the remaining 50,000 square meters of land. Despite some obstacles, the outcome was thrilling.

And to successfully secure that 50,000 square meters of land, to ensure that there were no issues with the subsequent development and construction of Soup City, and more so for the luxury shopping mall's successful entry into the Soup City Resort—no, it should now probably be called Tangshui City Resort—with the addition of that piece of land, a vast resort could be developed. Ye Hua even mortgaged two cars and her three properties in Z City to get the loan, all to have some extra funds to implement the following plans.
