Power and Wealth

Chapter 926: Problem

The sun was setting.

Everyone got changed and walked out to the beach.

The guys changed faster, and Dong Xuebing, Xie Hao, Xie Ran, and the rest sat under the beach umbrella. All of them wore beach shorts, and Wu Er prepared a few glasses of whisky. They enjoyed their alcohol and looked towards the mansion.

Xiao Youyou came out first. She changed into another one-piece swimsuit and looked adorable. Xie Jing was next. She wore a pink swimsuit and looked pretty. Sun Kai’s jaw dropped when he saw her. The last to come out of the mansion was Xie Huilan. It was chilly today, and she wore a white shirt over her black bikini. She only buttoned the last button and looked sexy. Youyou and Xie Jing envied her full and curvy body.”

“Sis, you are taking away all the attention from me again.” Xie Jing joked.

Youyou looked at Xie Huilan with her big eyes. “Sis, you are beautiful.”

“Thank you.” Xie Huilan smiled. “You all are beautiful too.”

Xie Hao ran over excitedly. “I will teach you how to swim. Let’s go!”

Youyou smacked her lips. “I don’t need you to teach. I know how to swim.”

Xie Hao boasted. “I am good at swimming and can teach you how to swim fast. I promise you will be the fastest swimmer after learning from me.”

Youyou let out a ‘hmph!’ “Stop boasting.”

“Hah…. You don’t believe me?! We can race.”

“Race?! I am faster than you.”

Both kids ran towards the beach and jumped into the water.

Xie Ran, Xie Jing, and Sun Kai also go into the water.

Dong Xuebing smiled at Wu Er. “Uncle Wu, go and swim. You don’t need to accompany us. My wife is pregnant and doesn’t want to catch a cold. I can accompany her to the beach.”

Wu Er replied. “Ok. Tell my helper if you need anything. I will go swimming now.”

Dong Xuebing and Xie Huilan sat on the beach chair and sipped on their fruit juice. They looked at the rest playing in the water.

Half an hour….

One hour….

The sun was almost set.

Everyone was tired when they returned.

“It’s so fun. Hahaha….” Xie Hao laughed. “Sis, Brother-in-law, you two should join us. Pregnant is not a big deal.”

Dong Xuebing gave him a stare. “What are you saying?! What if she caught a cold?”

Wu Er laughed. “I feel bad leaving you two here while we have fun. How about we get on the yacht?”

“Yacht?!” Xie Jing cheered. “Yes! Yes! Let’s go! I still have not been on a yacht yet.”

“Let’s go then.” Wu Er said. “Come with me. It’s a short walk.”

All the yachts were docked at a small pier nearby.

They walked for around ten minutes, and the yachts appeared before them. Although the yachts were not big, they looked luxurious.

Wu Er points to a yacht in the west. “That’s my yacht. It might be small, but it is fast. It is much faster than cargo ships. It is almost new as I seldom use it. The only flaw is it is vulnerable to large waves. We will be safe if we don’t sail to the high seas. Let’s go.”

Xie Hao cheered. “Fantastic!”

Youyou giggled. “Brother Xiao Hao, follow me.”

“Sure!” Xie Hao and Youyou ran into the yacht.

Both were around the same age and got closer after swimming together.

Dong Xuebing envied their youthful energy. He could not afford new clothes when he was young, let alone go on a holiday and get on a yacht.

The pier’s staff verified their identity and allowed them to board the yacht.

Youyou waved to the rest and showed them around the yacht. “This is the cabin, and there’s ice and drinks inside. The bridge is in front, and the sunshade on the deck is fixed to the yacht. We don’t need to worry about them being blown away by strong winds. Do you all know how to steer a boat? I can teach you all. It’s easy.”

Xie Hao replied excitedly. “Teach me!”

“Ok. Who else wants to learn? Follow me.” Youyou entered the bridge with Xie Hao.

Wu Er was afraid Youyou might teach them the wrong stuff and followed them.

After a while, Dong Xuebing saw Xie Hao steering the yacht through a glass window from the deck. Wu Er and Youyou guided him on how to steer the yacht out of the pier.

Xie Jing held Sun Kai’s hand and said. “Xiao Hao knows how to steer a boat now.”

Xie Ran laughed. “I don’t trust him. Let’s stop somewhere before the yacht capsize.”

“I agree.” Xie Jing and Sun Kai sat on the deck and enjoyed the scenery.

Xie Huilan stood at the bow and looked at the sea.

After a while, Xie Huilan sighed. “It would be wonderful if someone could hug me from behind and bring me a glass of cold beverage.” She seemed to be talking to herself, but everyone knew she was saying these to Dong Xuebing.

Dong Xuebing was mad. “Just tell me you want something to drink. Stop beating around the bush.”

Xie Huilan smiled and looked at Dong Xuebing. “I was talking to myself. What’s wrong?”

“Fine… fine….” Dong Xuebing did not argue with her and went into the cabin to get a glass of iced tea. He gave it to Xie Huilan and hugged her from behind. “Are you satisfied?”

“Yes. Haha….”

“Can you stop ordering me around?” 

Dong Xuebing felt blessed as he hugged Xie Huilan. He said. “Huilan stretched out your arms.”

Xie Huilan laughed and stretched out her arms. “Like this?”

“Yes.” Dong Xuebing hugged her around her waist.

They were copying the iconic scene from Titanic.

Xie Jing teased them. “Sis, Brother-in-law, can you all stop it? That movement is not ominous. I don’t want the yacht to hit an iceberg.”

Everyone laughed.

Suddenly, Wu Er’s face changed.

Xie Hao overheard the radio and shouted. “Sis, Brother-in-law! Come over now! We have a problem!”
