Chapter 168: You're Not Allowed to Keep Secrets From Me

Zhao Ruoying was certainly in good shape, which was no surprise given how often she worked out.

Of all Chen Erbao's women, none could handle even half of him in his second state. But Zhao Ruoying, through sheer grit, had taken most of it, even contemplating swallowing it whole.

Though she was greedy, she undoubtedly experienced a pleasure others never could.

Seeing she was getting tired, Chen Erbao rolled over, hoisted her pale, rounded thighs onto his shoulders, and began to bury himself in his work.

The ox that plows the field, the field that is plowed—one of them has to collapse first.

But in this particular arena, Chen Erbao had never known fear.

In just half an hour, Zhao Ruoying had already begged for mercy five or six times.

Chen Erbao ignored her cries, continuing his relentless assault. Finally, amidst a piercing shriek, he released his load.

Afterward, Chen Erbao held Zhao Ruoying, who was as limp as a noodle in his arms. They leaned against the sofa, listening to each other's heartbeats.

A lighter CLICKED, and a sapphire-blue flame leaped to life.

As the tobacco was lit, wisps of ethereal smoke began to drift and spread.

Nothing beats a post-coital cigarette.

Chen Erbao almost never smoked, but after these last few times, he'd wanted one.

'Sage mode. No desires, no wants!'

Even if Bai Xiaoqing were to stand naked in front of him right now, he would...

He could still go!

The thought of Bai Xiaoqing was enough to get him worked up all over again.

Zhao Ruoying, lying in his arms, felt the strange movement below and said in surprise:

"How are you…"

"It's nothing, a normal reaction. Don't worry about it."

Chen Erbao knew Zhao Ruoying had had her fill of battle for the day, so he didn't press on.

"You should smoke less. It's bad for you."

Zhao Ruoying waved away the curling smoke in front of her and admonished him.

Chen Erbao nodded.

"I usually don't…"

As his business grew, he was finally starting to understand what it felt like to be busy.

A mountain of things were waiting for him to handle, a harem of women were waiting for him to manage, and everything depended on him, so he couldn't afford to slack off!

Not to mention things further afield, the factory in Bailong Village alone had doubled the income of several hundred families from the surrounding villages.

Zhao Ruoying's future resume would definitely look impressive. Combined with her family's connections, the road ahead of her would be smooth sailing.

"How long will you be in Bailong Village?"

Chen Erbao gently stroked her smooth, black hair.

Zhao Ruoying lay languidly on top of Chen Erbao.

"Once your planting base shows some results, I can leave. I'll most likely go work directly in Hongyuan City. I'll have my family arrange it so I'm put in charge of the district where your factory is. That way, I can help keep an eye on things for you."

"Oh, that's not necessary. I have a professional manager taking care of things there. I rarely even go over myself."

Chen Erbao's heart began to beat a little faster.

'That's Bai Xiaoqing and Lin Zhiqing's territory. If Zhao Ruoying goes there, won't all hell break loose?'

'Of course, it would be *his* head getting smashed!'

'He definitely couldn't let these women meet anytime soon. Otherwise, it would be a total disaster.'

'Once he could handle everything, he wouldn't be afraid of a disaster.'

'All in all, he needed time!'

But for now, Chen Erbao was very satisfied with his life. He was backed by two great powers, the Zhao Family and Medicine King Hall, and he didn't have any major business rivals. Although he had offended some second-generation rich kids, those issues had all been settled. All he had to do was focus on steady development!

His mind filled with these messy thoughts, Chen Erbao gradually drifted off to sleep, and a low snore began to sound.

Seeing that Chen Erbao was asleep, Zhao Ruoying quietly fetched a blanket, covered him with it, and then lay down beside him to rest as well.

'Good thing the sofa is big enough to be a bed!'

…...

「Early the next morning.」

Chen Erbao opened his eyes, feeling comfortable and refreshed all over.

He sat up and looked over to see Zhao Ruoying in the kitchen, wearing a pink Hello Kitty apron and preparing breakfast.

Strands of her black hair rested casually on her shoulders, her graceful curves exquisitely shaped, sparking the imagination. Sunlight streamed through the window, bathing her shoulders in a layer of light that made her seem like a fairy.

And this fairy was making breakfast for Chen Erbao!

This version of Zhao Ruoying seemed to be the complete opposite of the hot-tempered girl who'd been ready to fight him when they first met.

In that moment, Chen Erbao's heart was deeply moved. 'It would be nice if time could just stop right here…'

"You're awake! Go wash up, breakfast is almost ready!"

Zhao Ruoying turned her head, and seeing Chen Erbao was awake, her eyes curved into crescents as she smiled.

Chen Erbao got up and practiced two sets of his martial arts forms. After washing up, the two of them began to eat.

Breakfast was simple: milk, egg pancakes, and a side of pasta.

"I never would've guessed you had these kinds of skills."

Chen Erbao hadn't expected Zhao Ruoying to know how to cook.

Zhao Ruoying shot him a look.

"Isn't this a basic survival skill? It's not hard…"

"I'll definitely be happy if I marry you one day."

Chen Erbao mumbled, his mouth full of egg pancake.

Zhao Ruoying paused what she was doing and looked at Chen Erbao seriously.

"As long as it's you, I'll be happy too."

'A straightforward declaration of love, but it surpassed everything!'

'A woman so virtuous, capable, and beautiful—she was truly perfect!' Chen Erbao thought.

'But then again, which of the women in his life wasn't perfect?'

'Each had her own characteristics, her own strengths.'

'Chen Erbao felt that unless he became a king someday, this was going to be really hard to manage.'

After breakfast, Zhao Ruoying rode her bicycle to the office, while Chen Erbao strolled down the road toward his home.

Once home, he got in his car and drove to the factory first.

He hadn't come back all night, but Fang Yun didn't ask any questions. However, Lin Rui, who was helping out at the factory, pulled him aside and wouldn't stop asking:

"Brother Er Bao, where were you last night?"

"I… went to look at the stars!"

Chen Erbao casually made up an excuse.

Lin Rui pouted.

"Liar! You smell like a woman!"

Chen Erbao's eyes widened. He lowered his head and sniffed himself, but he couldn't smell anything.

"How could you smell that?"

Zhao Ruoying didn't usually wear perfume. At most, he might have picked up a hint of her shampoo or her natural scent, but the smell was so faint it was negligible. How had Lin Rui noticed?

Lin Rui seemed a little angry.

"Brother Er Bao, I already told you I don't care how many women you have, just don't hide it from me…"

Seeing the young girl's eyes turn red as if she were about to cry, Chen Erbao quickly soothed her:

"Xiaorui, don't be angry. It's Brother Er Bao's fault. I promise I won't lie to you next time…"

Chen Erbao broke out in a sweat. 'This little girl isn't so easy to fool anymore!'

Hearing this, Lin Rui's tears turned to laughter.

"As long as you don't abandon me, I don't care about anything else!"

Lin Rui had given her entire body to Chen Erbao; she had long since decided he was the one for her!

Chen Erbao looked seriously at Lin Rui's pure and flawless pretty face and gently pinched her delicate nose.

"Brother Er Bao swears he will never, ever abandon you!"

"Mhm!"
