Chapter 337: More Children, More Blessings - Part 2
"Mm, I think I've slept enough."
Long Jinghan quietly watched him, "Shen Yuan, thank you."
Shen Yuan knew she was referring to his visit to her house the previous night. He flicked her forehead and said, "Thank for what? You're my woman, and you're helping me with my work. Isn't this what I should do?"
"Mm-hmm~"
Long Jinghan lay in Shen Yuan's arms, contentedly nestling against him, feeling a sense of bliss permeate her whole heart.
"I should buy you a house. Renting all the time isn't the way to go."
Shen Yuan's only requirement for buying a house for an NPC was a Feel-good Index above 80.
Of course, it also depended on their needs. Long Jinghan and Qiao Lei were currently living in houses rented by Shen Yuan, in the same community as Liew Menglu. Renting forever wasn't the way to go.
"Buy a house?"
This wasn't said by Long Jinghan. Qiao Lei, not knowing when, sat up with surprise on her face, "Senior, are you going to buy us a house?"
"Weren't you just saying you were tired and needed to sleep more?"
Shen Yuan also pinched her rosy cheek, "I'm buying a house, but not for you. It's for Jinghan."
"Ah?"
Qiao Lei's face fell instantly, her hands clinging to Shen Yuan's arm and she pouted, "But I also want a house."
Shen Yuan raised an eyebrow, "No problem, since you two are good friends, you can also live in Jinghan's house."
"That's true."
Qiao Lei pursed her lips, poking Shen Yuan's arm with her finger, "But there's still a difference between owning one's own and sharing with a senior sister, right?"
"Oh, since you don't want to live in her house, then just continue renting."
"Ah, Senior, that's not what I meant."
Qiao Lei continued to act spoiled, "I mean, could you also buy one for me?"
Shen Yuan pretended to consider for a moment, "Buy one for you too, huh..."
"Senior~"
Qiao Lei's eyes filled with tears, appearing pitiful while she pressed her ample bosom against Shen Yuan's arms.
"Alright, for their sakes."
Shen Yuan took his chances with a grab.
"Hehe~ Okay~"
Qiao Lei let Shen Yuan have his fun, and then, like Long Jinghan, snuggled into his embrace.
"Do you have a preferred community, or should we buy in the one you're living in now?" Shen Yuan asked.
"Either is fine."
Long Jinghan said obediently, then thought for a bit more, "Liew Menglu sister is there, living together would be nice for mutual support."
"What about Qiao Lei?"
Shen Yuan wanted to hear Qiao Lei's opinion since she didn't always get along with Liew Menglu.
Qiao Lei pondered carefully, "I do want to live in the same community as my senior sister, but with Liew Menglu... ah well, it's not like it's impossible. I'll just give in to her in the future."
"I have another consideration actually."
Long Jinghan's cheeks suddenly flushed with a hint of red.
"What?"
Qiao Lei looked on curiously.
Long Jinghan hesitated for a long while before finally mustering the courage to speak with her lips quivering, "If we both have Shen Yuan's babies in the future, they could grow up together in the same community. And Shen Yuan, when you come to see them, you'll just need to visit one community."
"?"
Qiao Lei stared blankly at Long Jinghan, "Senior sister, you're already prepared to have kids with Senior?"
Long Jinghan looked up at Shen Yuan, "If Shen Yuan wishes."
Shen Yuan smiled and imagined the scenario in his mind.
Qiao Lei, Liew Menglu, and Long Jinghan each having a child for Shen Yuan, the children growing up together, going to and from school.
Say one day after school, three kids yet to lose their childhood innocence discuss where to have dinner that evening.
Child A says, "Where should we have dinner today? Aunt Liew's or Aunt Qiao's?"
Child B says, "My mom's cooking is just okay, let's go to Aunt Long's."
Child C shakes their head, "No, you forgot, today dad is going to Aunt Qiao's, so we all need to go to Aunt Qiao's."
Children A and B, "That's right, then let's go to Aunt Qiao's (mom's) house!"
Thinking of three children speaking in such babyish voices, Shen Yuan couldn't help but reveal a satisfied smile.
Having many children seemed to be quite nice as well.
"Senior, what are you thinking about that's making you smile so goofily?"
Qiao Lei poked Shen Yuan's face, "But I'm only 20 years old, even if I do want kids, I should wait until I'm at least 22."
Shen Yuan brought back his thoughts, indifferently saying, "It's fine, Qiao Lei, if you don't want to have kids, I won't force you. In the future, you can just help Liew Menglu and Long Jinghan take care of their kids."
"Ah?"
Qiao Lei felt that was quite a loss, not having her own yet helping them to take care, and if she didn't have kids, wouldn't that mean the affection she received would decrease?
But then again, having kids means your figure gets ruined, and it's said that childbirth is especially painful, not to mention the risk of pregnancy complications.
Sigh, it seems like there's no perfect choice, is there?
Qiao Lei sighed inwardly.
Actually, when it came to having children, Shen Yuan wasn't worried at all; plenty of women wanted to have his children.
Apart from Nana, who was already pregnant, there were Liew Menglu, Teacher Lih, the class belle, all of them more or less showed a tendency to want to bear his children.
But Shen Yuan didn't want to have so many so early, now was the time to enjoy life, and one was enough.
And Qiao Lei was only 20 years old, after all, she was still a child. It was understandable if she didn't want to have kids.
During their intimate time, Ji Ya walked up to the door, "Boss, breakfast is all ready, you can eat now... uh, perhaps I came at a bad time."
In her view, the threesome was intertwined together, just as absurd as the night before.
She thought the boss hadn't gotten up yet, but he had already started a new day of play.
"No, your timing is perfect."
Shen Yuan waved her over.
Ji Ya, unconsciously taking a step back in her high heels, "Um, boss, why don't you have breakfast first? We have lots to do today."
Shen Yuan looked around, "Go, bring Ji Ya to me. She attended class least last night; I need to give her some extra lessons this morning."
"..."
After another hour of tumult, everyone arrived at the dining table in the living room after 10:00 a.m.
Ji Ya had the butler prepare a lavish breakfast with Chinese-style rice noodles, noodles, steamed buns, dough sticks, soy milk, as well as Western-style bread, cake, milk, Thüringer sausages, and so on.
While eating breakfast, Ji Ya said, "Boss, I'm going to help my uncle and aunt buy houses and cars this afternoon; you can go back first."
Shen Yuan nodded, "Yeah, if you can't finish in the afternoon, continue coming here to sleep tonight; just handle the extension yourself."
After breakfast nearly reaching noon, Shen Yuan let Ji Ya go busy herself while he took Qiao Lei and Long Jinghan for a stroll in this natural oxygen bar.
Leaving their forest villa, there was a cobblestone path with villa suites on one side and lush trees on the other.
The trio admired the scenery as they walked the cobblestone path, with Long Jinghan being quieter but always with a faint smile on her lips, while Qiao Lei occasionally smacked her lips, bouncing as she walked.
"If it was just the two of us with Senior, it would be great, but sadly, besides Liew Menglu, there are so many other women eyeing Senior covetously."
Qiao Lei thought this to herself, feeling both satisfied and regretful. If only every day could be like today, how wonderful would that be?
Leisure time always flies quickly; after finding a nearby restaurant with local specialties for lunch, Shen Yuan drove the G63, bringing the two girls back to Star City.
On the way, Long Jinghan reported on the progress of the foundation, and Shen Yuan said after hearing it,
"Besides the initial 20 million in funds, there's another 10 million donated to Liya, and I plan to donate another 20 million. I'm thinking of dividing this money between medical contributions and university sponsorship."
"Get in touch with Nanda and Xiangtan University on behalf of the foundation; tell them we're interested in providing support, and see what their attitude is."
"Okay."
Long Jinghan took note quietly. She wouldn't ask Shen Yuan why he wanted to donate so much, but Qiao Lei wasn't as well-behaved.
"Senior, why donate a full 50 million? Can't you use the money for something else?"
Shen Yuan glanced at her, "Don't you know what a conscientious entrepreneur is, what it means to be a person of value to society?"
"Tch."
Qiao Lei rolled her eyes and simply turned to look at the scenery outside the window.
In fact, Shen Yuan needed to donate the entire 50 million to activate the third phase of the Entrepreneurial Mission, but he couldn't explain the system to the people around him, so he had to be vague.
Thinking of this, he felt a hint of anticipation.
The first phase of the mission got him Jingfu Health; the second phase rewarded him with a 15% stake in Mu Medical and a 50 million charity fund.
The rewards for the second phase were several times more than the first phase; how could the third phase's rewards be any worse?
