It seems that in the nearly two years she has been away from home, she has learned a lot and grown a lot.

Qin Wu went to a meeting out of town and wasn't home at this time. Ling Ziqian and Ning Xian'er sat facing each other at the dining table.

With a slight blush on her face, she served soup, rice, and vegetables to Ling Ziqian, acting like a wife, and still acting like a wife.

"Xian'er, let's go back to Haitang City this afternoon." Ling Ziqian wanted to take Ning Xian'er back to his home.

"I'd rather not." Ning Xian'er shook her head slightly.

Not knowing what she was thinking, Ling Ziqian was getting anxious. "Why don't you want her? You're my woman, and everyone should know you!"

Hearing this, Ning Xian'er blushed even more and couldn't help but laugh, "Ziqian, I'm not pretty, I'll embarrass you."

"What kind of nonsense is this? You are stunningly beautiful, and I never get tired of looking at you. You are a beauty with great temperament."

Ning Xian'er smiled with relief. She was happy to hear Ling Ziqian say that, but saying that she wasn't pretty was just an excuse.

"If you're not coming back with me, what are your plans now that you're back?" Ling Ziqian got up and sat down next to Ning Xian'er, putting his arm around her slender waist.

"I've made up my mind..." Ning Xian'er blushed, boldly raised her head, and looked at Ling Ziqian.

"I'll just be the little woman behind you. I'll help you manage the company. I know about your situation, so there's no need for any promises. Just remember me occasionally and spend some time with me, that's enough."

Her bold words prompted Ling Ziqian to kiss her excitedly.

After kissing for a while, Ling Ziqian hugged her even tighter. "No matter what, I still want to take you to meet them!"

Ning Xian'er immediately struggled, "I don't want to know them, it's too embarrassing. If you do that, I'll go back to America right now!"

So that's why he was embarrassed!

Then don't pressure her; let her untangle her knots little by little.

"Have you contacted your family?" Ling Ziqian asked curiously.

"Not yet." Ning Xian'er shook her head slightly, then smiled, "I'll wait for you to come together."

Ling Ziqian chuckled, "Okay, then let's go to your house this afternoon and have your dad work for you from now on!"

Ning Xian'er looked at Ling Ziqian with a resentful expression.

She didn't speak, but Ling Ziqian realized something.

It's been more than half a year since we last met, and I'm really a bit clueless about romance.

We haven't seen each other for so long. Even if we're just talking about work, we should also talk about our feelings!

“The reason I didn’t get close to you last year in America was because I didn’t know what decision you would make, and I was afraid I would scare you,” Ling Ziqian explained.

Ning Xian'er punched Ling Ziqian in frustration, "Back then, I thought you didn't like me..."

"How could I not like Xian'er?" Ling Ziqian smiled and kissed her cheek. "Let's make up for what we missed before. Let's have fun first, and then we'll take over the company, okay?"

Ning Xian'er nodded and looked toward a room.

That room was the one where she and Ling Ziqian used to have intimate encounters.

This was a hint, wasn't it? Ling Ziqian picked up Ning Xian'er and quickly entered the room.

It's been almost two years since we last had an intimate moment.

Ning Xian'er had dreamed of that day countless times, and had fantasized about such a moment countless times.

Now, it has all become a reality.

The two spent the afternoon being affectionate.

In the evening, Qin Wu returned home and saw the bed sheets drying on the balcony. She was full of resentment and glared at Ling Ziqian several times with jealousy.

Ling Ziqian chuckled shamelessly, and that night, he slept with Ning Xian'er in his arms again.

The next day, Ling Ziqian and Ning Xian'er went home together.

Ning Gang was somewhat excited when he saw Ning Xian'er appear.

In the past, he was extremely ruthless for the sake of the company's development, treating Ning Xian'er like a commodity.

When Ning Xian'er ran away from home, when Yu Meiren came back to life, when his company was taken over by Ling Ziqian.

He felt like he was being punished, and he realized many things.

At this moment, when facing Ning Xian'er, he was nothing more than a father.

Ling Ziqian arranged for Ning Xian'er to take over the company, and Ning Gang agreed unconditionally.

He was well aware of Ning Xian'er's business acumen. Although he would become his daughter's subordinate in the future, being able to be with his family was a kind of happiness.

Happiness is something money can't buy, and Ning Gang suddenly felt very lucky.

Ling Ziqian was worried that someone in the company was bullying Ning Xian'er.

He specially moved into Ning Gang's mansion and spent every day with Ning Xian'er.

Ling Ziqian was seriously interfering with her work. Just two days later, Ning Xian'er pushed Ling Ziqian away.

She wanted to devote herself entirely to her work and didn't want Ling Ziqian around.

This guy is a workaholic!

Ning Xian'er made her choice and was no longer confused, which relieved Ling Ziqian.

Let's hand the company over to her and see what miracles she can create!

Chapter 438 Let's live happily together!

After parting ways with Ning Xian'er, Ling Ziqian originally intended to return to Haitang City.

Having been away from home for a month, he misses Yu Meiren and Cupid sauce terribly.

But Qin Wu, consumed by jealousy, caught him.

"I took a week off, you have to spend time with me and have fun!" Qin Wu huffed and puffed, clinging to Ling Ziqian's arm. She was as willful as a young girl.

"Hey, you're the principal, is it really okay for you to ask for leave like this?" Ling Ziqian asked with great concern.

"I don't care what problems the school has, I want to be with you!" Qin Wu stared straight at Ling Ziqian, her heart full of resentment.

"Then let's go back to Haitang City together..."

"I don't want to go back. If I go back, your beautiful sister, little sister Ai, and sister Xuelan will all be bothering you. How will I have a chance to get close to you?"

Qin Wu held Ling Ziqian tightly, not letting him go back.

"You little rascal, you and Xian'er have been doing something naughty these past few days, haven't you? We've washed the sheets several times already, and you haven't been affectionate with me in ages!" Qin Wu pouted her pink lips like a little girl.

This guy... Ling Ziqian was both amused and exasperated. "Are you ready to be intimate with me in any way you want?"

Qin Wu blushed crimson and punched Ling Ziqian a few times. "Don't think about those kinds of things! Anyway, I've taken a week off, so you have to spend time with me!"

Ling Ziqian nodded. "Where do you want to go?"

"Hehe. During summer vacation, you guys went to the Maldives and the Aegean Sea, I want to go to those romantic places too!"

"No problem!" Ling Ziqian treated Qin Wu like a child, patting her head. "However, when we go to a place like that, I need to bring Sister Beauty with me."

"Waaah! You bad guy! We agreed to be together!" Qin Wu raised her fist and punched Ling Ziqian's chest resentfully.

"The first time I went was to accompany Qiaoyan and Xuelan on their graduation trip. Now that it's the second time, I'll feel uncomfortable if I leave her behind," Ling Ziqian explained awkwardly.

"Okay, okay, I finally understand. You think Sister Beauty is number one in your heart, and Sister Wu is number two, no, maybe even number one last, right?"

"In my heart, there is no distinction between you two. If Sister Meiren takes me to those places, I will take you with me, because you are also my family!"

That one sentence, plus a kiss, instantly dissolved Qin Wu's jealousy and resentment.

The two quickly returned to Haitang City.

Upon hearing the two guys' plan, Yu Meiren and Cupid smiled sweetly.

Unfortunately, they hadn't gotten their passports ready. Getting passports takes time, and flying to such a far place also takes a long time.

Qin Wu only took a week off.

Finally, the four of them settled for a vacation at a seaside villa in the South China Sea.

Cupid still can't swim, so Ling Ziqian supports her and teaches her to swim in the shallow end of the indoor pool.

Meanwhile, Huan Yue transformed into a black cat, lying on a floating board, enjoying the sunshine with great contentment.

Yu Meiren heard about Ning Xian'er's decision.

She looked at Ling Ziqian curiously, "You're planning to start a business, when are you going to take action?"

Ling Ziqian thought for a moment, "We should at least wait until Mingxi and the others graduate from the remote mountain city."

Qin Wu swam over like a mermaid, letting out a silvery giggle. "I don't think you have time to start a business at all. After they graduate, they'll go somewhere to work. Mingxi is here, and Nanako is there, one in the east and one in the west, one in the south and one in the north."

"If this person makes a phone call, you'll be there in a flash; if that person makes a phone call, you'll be there in a flash again. How can you start a business like that? You might as well just marry them all and bring them home!"

When Qin Wu made this suggestion, Ling Ziqian smiled but did not reply.

He had already decided not to marry any guy.

Once you marry someone, things can get a little unimaginable.

Ling Ziqian didn't intend to change them using ambiguity, so he could only let everyone know the truth and live their lives in silence.

Ling Ziqian had also wondered why so many people liked him and why they all got along so harmoniously.

After thinking it over, I guess it's because of Cupid-chan, the goddess of love.

Of course, it's not that Cupid did anything; her very existence is an influence.

"Let's put marriage aside for now. As for starting a business, I'll do whatever it takes. After all, money and career don't hold much allure for me. What I hope for now is to live a leisurely life."

Ling Ziqian hugged Cupid into his arms, which made Cupid giggle.

Qin Wu smiled and looked at Yu Meiren, unable to help but complain, "He really is your son, just like you. He doesn't care about anything and just wants to live a carefree life."

"Is it wrong for people to pursue a leisurely life?" Yu Meiren asked Qin Wu with a smile.

"What is the purpose of living in this world? Is it for social progress or scientific development? I don't know, but I do know that everyone has their own path to walk and their own way of living. Although I pursue a leisurely life of doing nothing, it is still a choice, and it is better than living a confused and aimless life!"

Qin Wu chuckled, "How can you be better than those people? You're already happier than 99.9% of the people in the world!"

Ling Ziqian laughed too, and asked Qin Wu, "Sister Wu, what about you? Why don't you quit your job as principal and move here with me to sell cakes and live a leisurely life? After all, you're not happy at school at all. You always have a long face and cold eyes. It must be so uncomfortable for you!"
