The God of Wealth starts with doing whatever you want

The city of Wuhan has entered the depths of winter.

Obstetrics expert Dr. Zhou advised Zhong Yanyan and Xinuo that moderate travel during the second trimester is beneficial to the pregnant woman's mood, and suggested choosing warm places with good air quality.

Upon hearing this news, Xu Yun, who had just returned, almost immediately thought of Sanya.

That's a good place to spend the winter.

He first called Jian Shiwei, who hadn't returned yet, and quickly arranged everything.

The house is a seaside villa in Yalong Bay, with a professional medical team on call at all times, and a private yacht for sightseeing in the shallow waters.

"I'll take Zhong Yanyan and Xinuo with me,"

Xu Yun asked on the phone, "Is it convenient for you there?"

Jian Shiwei chuckled on the other end of the phone, "You brought two pregnant women with you, how could I say it's inconvenient? The villa is big enough, and I'll have the Sanya branch arrange the medical team."

"it is good."

A day later, the Gulfstream G650 took off from Jiangcheng Airport, and the atmosphere in the cabin was relaxed.

Zhong Yanyan and Xinuo sat side by side in the large airline seats, covered with soft cashmere blankets.

Wang Qing once again acted as a flight attendant, bringing warm water and cut fruit. Xu Yun sat opposite them, flipping through information about the Sanya villa.

"How big is this house?" Zhong Yanyan asked, peering into the room.

"Three floors, eight bedrooms, private beach, infinity pool."

Xu Yun handed over the tablet and said with a smile, "Jian Shiwei said she occasionally comes here for vacation."

Looking at the azure sea and white buildings in the photo, Xinuo's eyes lit up: "So beautiful... I haven't seen the sea in so long."

"This time, I'll let you see enough."

Xu Yun smiled and said, "However, the doctor said that I should not walk for more than two hours a day, I should not be exposed to the sun for too long, and I should eat seafood in moderation."

"Okay, Dr. Xu," Zhong Yanyan waved her hand and teased.

The sun was shining brightly at four o'clock in the afternoon when the plane landed at Sanya Phoenix Airport.

The Mercedes-Benz van arranged by Jian Shiwei was already waiting on the tarmac. The driver was a capable middle-aged man who introduced himself as surnamed Chen and said he was the villa's resident butler.

The car drove out of the airport and headed along the coastal highway.

The coconut palms swayed in the breeze, and the sea breeze, carrying a salty and humid scent, blew in through the half-open car window.

Zhong Yanyan and Xinuo were both looking out the window at the scenery when Zhong Yanyan suddenly pointed into the distance and said, "Isn't that a yacht marina?"

"Correct."

Xu Yun said, "Jian Shiwei said that we can take a yacht out to sea tomorrow and cruise around the nearshore area."

Forty minutes later, the car entered a secluded private driveway.

Inside the white walls, a modern-style villa stands nestled against the mountain and facing the sea.

According to the housekeeper, Jian Shiwei purchased the property a year ago. It is usually maintained by a professional team and is only used when she comes to vacation.

The villa's interior is simply yet comfortably decorated, with large floor-to-ceiling windows offering views of the azure sea.

Zhong Yanyan and Xinuo were assigned to two adjacent suites on the second floor, each with its own balcony and bathroom.

Xu Yun's room was on the third floor, with the best view, overlooking the entire bay.

Jian Shiwei called right on time, asking, "Have you arrived? How are you feeling?"

"very good."

Xu Yun stood on the balcony, looking at the white sails dotting the sea in the distance, and smiled, "Did you used to come here often by yourself when you had nothing to do?"

"No, I go once or twice occasionally."

Jian Shi smiled and said, "The medical team will come tomorrow morning for a routine check-up. I've also contacted a diving instructor; she's an experienced female instructor. Knowing you're cautious, I specifically chose a woman."

Xu Yun smiled: "That's very thoughtful."

"I won't come over to bother you tonight."

Jian Shiwei said, "I'll bring breakfast over tomorrow morning and also meet the two expectant mothers."

"it is good."

After hanging up the phone, Xu Yun went downstairs.

Zhong Yanyan and Xinuo were curiously looking at the various decorations in the living room, while Butler Chen had already prepared warm coconut water and sliced ​​papaya.

"This house is really nice."

Holding the coconut water, Xinuo's eyes curved into crescents as she exclaimed, "I feel so relaxed."

"Then relax."

Xu Yun sat down opposite them and said, "Don't think about anything during this time."

The next morning, Xu Yun got up at six o'clock and went for a jog on the beach.

The sun had just risen above the horizon, casting golden rays onto the white sand. Waves gently lapped at the shore, and the air was so fresh it was invigorating.

When I returned to the villa at seven o'clock, Jian Shiwei was already there.

She was wearing a simple white T-shirt and denim shorts, directing staff to set up breakfast on the terrace facing the sea.

"morning."

She waved to Xu Yun and said, "I brought some local famous Baoluo rice noodles and Qingbuliang (a type of sweet soup), as well as fresh fruit."

Zhong Yanyan and Xinuo also came downstairs one after another.

Both of them were very natural when they met Jian Shiwei.

They knew the woman's special place in Xu Yun's life, and they also knew her identity.

Jian Shiwei seemed a little reserved. She invited them to sit down and personally served them soup noodles, saying, "Try it. I always eat Baoluo noodles here whenever I come."

The atmosphere at breakfast quickly became harmonious.

Jian Shiwei shared some interesting stories about Sanya and carefully inquired about the couple's pregnancy symptoms and dietary preferences.

At nine o'clock, the medical team arrived on time and conducted routine examinations on Zhong Yanyan and Xinuo, confirming that everything was normal.

"Moderate activity is acceptable, but strenuous activity should be avoided."

The female doctor leading the group said, "A walk on the beach is great. Take about half an hour each time, and remember to stay hydrated."

At 10 a.m., the sun was shining brightly but not intensely. Xu Yun accompanied Zhong Yanyan and Xinuo for a walk on the beach.

The three walked slowly along the coastline, the waves rolling up white foam at their feet.

Zhong Yanyan wore a loose maternity dress, while Xinuo wore cotton and linen trousers with a sun-protective shirt. Both of them wore wide-brimmed straw hats, looking like two ordinary pregnant women on vacation.

"The sand here is so fine."

Xinuo bent down, grabbed a handful, and said, "It's much better than the beaches in Jiangcheng."

"This is a private beach, and it is regularly maintained."

Xu Yun explained, "Public beaches are too crowded, and I don't dare take you there."

After walking for about twenty minutes, they rested under a parasol on the beach.

Staff brought over fresh coconuts and towels. Xu Yun took the coconut, inserted a straw, and handed it to Zhong Yanyan.

"What do you think about bringing the babies here to play after they're born?" Zhong Yanyan suddenly asked.

"Of course."

Xu Yun said, "Then we'll take my big yacht and the whole family out to sea."

"Only superyachts can do that."

Hino laughed and said, "But with so many of us, if everyone were here..."

"How about I buy another one now and put it in Sanya? That way it will be convenient for you to come and play in the future when you don't have a boat."

Xu Yun muttered something to himself, then said, "Yes, that's settled then. I'll have Shi Wei handle it."

Zhong Yanyan and Xinuo exchanged a glance and both smiled.

This is Xu Yun; he never cares about the cost to his family.

Lunch was a seafood feast.

Butler Chen invited a famous local chef to the villa to cook a feast, including steamed grouper, steamed lobster with garlic and vermicelli, salt and pepper mantis shrimp, coconut chicken hot pot, and more. The table was filled with dishes.

Xu Yun strictly controlled the amount of food the two of them ate, allowing them only a little bit of each kind.

Pregnant women should not eat too much seafood.

He cautioned, "Especially cold-natured foods like crabs, none of them were served today."

"Know it."

Zhong Yanyan picked up a piece of lobster meat and said, "Dr. Xu is really strict."

Jian Shiwei also came over at lunchtime, bringing a box of freshly picked mangoes and wax apples.

After dinner, she chatted with the two pregnant women on the terrace, while Xu Yun went to the study to deal with a few emails.

By 3 p.m., the sun had passed its strongest point.

Xu Yun changed into his diving suit and prepared to go diving in the shallow sea again.

The female coach that Jian Shiwei found was surnamed Lin. She was in her early thirties, with a healthy tanned skin and a straightforward manner.

Her task was simply to accompany the two pregnant women snorkeling in the shallow water for a short while.

After all, safety comes first.

The yacht, a twelve-meter-long luxury speedboat, was moored at the villa's private dock.

The group boarded the boat and headed towards the nearby coral reef area.

This coral reef is a protected area with crystal-clear water.

Coach Lin first led the two pregnant women to do some acclimatization exercises in a five-meter-deep area. After confirming that they were in good condition, he slowly swam towards the coral reefs at a depth of about ten meters.

Sunlight shines through the sea surface, creating shimmering spots of light underwater.

Various tropical fish dart among the corals, including blue and yellow clownfish and schools of silver trevally.

Zhong Yanyan and Xinuo followed Coach Lin, swimming slowly along the edge of the coral reef, occasionally stopping to observe particularly beautiful coral formations.

After swimming for about twenty minutes, they came to an area with dense coral.

The corals here grow exceptionally lushly, forming many natural caves and crevices.

Xu Yun suddenly noticed a transparent glass bottle stuck at the base of a clump of staghorn coral.

He swam over, carefully removed the bottle, which was sealed with a cork and contained a rolled-up piece of paper.

Xu Yunchao gestured to Coach Lin, telling them to take their time playing while he floated up first.

The speedboat was nearby; he swam over and climbed onto the platform at the stern.

Xu Yun unscrewed the bottle stopper and poured out the paper strip inside. It was waterproof plastic wrap with a few lines of text written on it in black marker:
March 28, 2021.

Today is my fifth wedding anniversary with my wife, and we're on vacation in Sanya.

She just found out she's pregnant, and we're all so happy.

Let me make a wish: that my family is healthy, that my baby is born safely, and that our little family is forever happy.

—A visitor from Beijing

The handwriting was somewhat childish, like the husband's.

There was also a simple smiley face drawn on the back of the note.

"Wishing bottles... have become quite popular in recent years. You write your wish down, put it in a bottle, and throw it into the sea. It's a kind of romance, I suppose."

Xu Yun stared at the note and remained silent for a while.

The sea breeze carries a salty, damp scent.

He suddenly remembered many things.

Mother Zhang Sujuan longs for a grandson in Jiang County, Grandpa Zhong is concerned about the surname, Xinuo's father hopes his daughter will stay in Jiangcheng, and then there are all the women who appear in his life...

He suddenly had an idea.

Xu Yun carefully stuffed the note back into the bottle and threw it back into the sea, preparing to give everyone a surprise tonight.

At 5:30 p.m., the group returned to the villa.

He was carrying a paper bag containing six seashell-shaped sealed boxes he had bought from town. Each box was about the size of a palm, waterproof and corrosion-resistant, and supposedly could be preserved at the bottom of the sea for decades.

Zhong Yanyan noticed it and asked curiously, "What is this?"

Xu Yun recounted finding the glass bottle on the seabed, then took out a sealed box.

"I think tonight we should each write a letter, put it in a box, bury it on the beach, and dig it up and open it after the babies are born. It will be a gift for the future and a memento of this moment."

Hino's eyes immediately lit up, and she agreed, "That's such a romantic idea!"

"Pregnant women are easily moved."

Zhong Yanyan joked, but then picked up a box and examined it closely, saying, "But... it's really interesting. What should I write on it?" "Anything is fine."

Xu Yun said, "It could be something for your future baby, an expectation for yourself, or any feeling you want to keep for a few years to look back on."

Jian Shiwei was also intrigued by the suggestion and asked, "Can I write it too?"

"of course."

Xu Yun handed her a box and said, "You are also a member of this family."

"..."

These words touched Jian Shiwei somewhat, but she still subconsciously glanced at Zhong Yanyan and Xinuo's expressions and found that they were looking at her with smiles on their faces, and there was no displeasure on their faces.

After dinner, warm lights shone in the villa's living room.

Butler Chen prepared stationery, a pen, hot milk, and snacks.

Six people.

Xu Yun, Zhong Yanyan, Xinuo, Jian Shiwei, Butler Chen, and even Coach Lin, whom they had only met today, sat around the large coffee table, each lost in thought over their letters.

Zhong Yanyan was the first to start writing.

She wrote very carefully, pausing to think at times and writing quickly at others.

Xinuo wrote intermittently, glancing up at the sea outside the window several times with a gentle look in her eyes.

Jian Shiwei's handwriting was the most neat, each stroke precise, as if he were signing an important investment agreement.

Xu Yun himself also wrote two letters.

One letter is for the children who are about to be born, and the other... is for myself many years from now.

He wrote very concisely, without any fancy words, simply recording his state of mind at that moment.

An hour later, everyone had finished writing.

The letter was carefully folded and placed in a sealed box.

Xu Yun prepared ballpoint pens so that everyone could write their names and the date on the box lid.

"Should we add an agreement?"

Jian Shiwei suddenly suggested, "For example... five years from today, let's come back here and dig out these boxes together?"

"Five years later..."

Hino calculated and said, "The babies should be over four years old."

"You can bring them along."

Zhong Yanyan said, "Tell them that this is a gift that their parents prepared before they were born."

"it is good."

Xu Yun nodded and smiled, "Then let's make a date to meet again in Sanya on December 15th, five years from now."

Coach Lin was a little embarrassed: "I'm just a coach, and I'm also participating in these kinds of family activities, is that...?"

"Today you are one of us too."

Xu Yun said, "Without you, I wouldn't have found that glass bottle, and I wouldn't have had this inspiration."

Coach Lin's eyes were slightly red, and he nodded vigorously.

……

It was nine o'clock at night, and the moon was bright and the stars were few.

The group, carrying small shovels and sealed boxes, arrived at the beach in front of the villa.

Xu Yun chose a spot between two coconut trees, far enough away from the tide line that he wouldn't be swept away by the sea.

"Let's do it here."

He said, "Make a mark so you don't forget it later."

Jian Shiwei took out her phone and took a few photos to record the coordinates and the surrounding environment.

Then everyone took turns digging holes, carefully placing the six sealed boxes inside, covering them with sand, and finally placing a few special coral stones on top as markers.

After burying the box, everyone stood on the beach, looking at the sea under the moonlight.

The sound of waves crashing against the shore filled the air, and the lights of fishing boats flickered in the distance.

Xinuo suddenly burst into tears.

"What's wrong?" Xu Yun asked immediately.

"fine……"

Xinuo wiped away her tears and said emotionally, "I just feel... so happy, everything right now feels like a dream."

I have a baby now, you're by my side, and there are so many people who care about me...

I never imagined I could be this happy.

Zhong Yanyan put her arm around her shoulder and teased her with a smile, "It's the pregnancy hormones acting up, you cry all the time."

"I'm not..."

Xinuo smiled through her tears and said, "I was truly moved."

Jian Shiwei looked at them and whispered to Xu Yun, "I'm really lucky too."

Xu Yun remained silent.

Coach Lin looked at this and that, and suddenly felt a pang of emotion.

She had taken so many guests diving, but this was the first time she had encountered such a... 'family', it was very special.

But it's also very heartwarming.

This man named Xu Yun is indeed very charming.

After returning to the villa, Zhong Yanyan and Xinuo went upstairs to rest.

Xu Yun and Jian Shiwei stayed in the living room and opened a bottle of red wine.

Xu Yun only poured a small half-cup, while Jian Shiwei drank it very relaxedly.

"Did you have fun today?" Jian Shiwei asked.

"happy."

Xu Yun looked at the liquid swirling in the glass and smiled, "Seeing how relaxed they are makes me relax too."

"That's good. I was just worried that I didn't do a good job."

Jian Shiwei was silent for a while, then suddenly said, "Actually, most of the letters I wrote today were for the baby."

Although they weren't my children, I think I'll be their 'Aunt Jane' from now on, right? I should leave them some words."

"Of course it counts."

Xu Yun said earnestly, "If you treat them well, they will treat you well in the future."

"hope so."

Jian smiled and said, "But seriously, honey, your idea of ​​a wishing box today... the romance level suddenly exceeded the limit."

I never knew you had this side to you; you always seem so calm and rational.

Xu Yun smiled and said, "People are multifaceted."

Jian Shiwei raised her phone; the screen showed a photo she had secretly taken of Xu Yun squatting on the beach, intently burying a box.

Moonlight shone on him, and the tide surged behind him.

"I posted it on my WeChat Moments."

She blinked and laughed, "The caption is: 'The domineering CEO transforms into an environmental volunteer.'"

Don't worry, it's only visible to a select group of friends.

Xu Yun shook his head helplessly: "Whatever you say."

The two chatted for a while longer, until late at night.

After Jian Shiwei left, Xu Yun sat alone in the living room for a while before going upstairs.

He first went to check on Zhong Yanyan's room. She was already asleep, her hand gently resting on her slightly protruding belly.

Xu Yun tucked the blanket around her and turned off the bedside lamp.

The light was still on in Hino's room.

Xu Yun knocked gently on the door, and a voice inside said, "Come in."

Xinuo leaned against the headboard, reading a book on childcare.

"Aren't you going to sleep yet?"

I'm not sleepy now.

Hino put down her book, smiled, and asked, "Want to sit for a while?"

"it is good."

Xu Yun sat down by the bed.

Hino naturally leaned closer and rested her head on his shoulder.

"Xu Yun".

She said softly, "When I buried the box today, I was thinking... what will we be like five years from now?"

"Five years later..."

Xu Yun thought for a moment, then replied with a smile, "The children should be able to run and jump by now, and they should be able to call us 'Dad' and 'Mom'. They should be asking us to come to the beach to play."

You may have become a full-time mom, or found a new career path. Zhong Yanyan will probably expand my business, and my mother may be taking care of her grandchildren in Jiang County…”

"how about you?"

"I?"

Xu Yun paused for a moment and said, "I should still be doing what I'm doing now, but I might be more relaxed, knowing what's most important and how to allocate my time and energy."

Will you always be this good to us?

"meeting."

Xu Yun answered without hesitation, "As long as I'm still here."

Hino hugged his arm tightly: "That's enough, that's enough."

That night, Xu Yun stayed in Xinuo's room until very late, only leaving after she fell asleep.

It was already 1 a.m. when I got back to my room.

He stood on the balcony, looking at the sea in the night, remembering the glass bottle at the bottom of the sea, and the words on the note:
"I hope my family is healthy."

The simplest wishes are also the most precious.

The next morning, Jian Shiwei brought good news.

Her voice was filled with excitement.

"The first investment project of the Hainan Cultural Fund has been launched. It is the film and television base that we mentioned before. The provincial government just issued the approval this morning, and the first phase of 5 billion yuan will be in place next week."

"Where exactly is it located?"

"Lingshui is not far from Sanya. The planned area is 800 acres, including a photography studio, post-production center, hotel facilities... It can be regarded as the first large-scale cultural project under the free trade port policy."

"very good."

Xu Yun said calmly, "From now on, you can handle all these matters."

"You're not going to ask about the details?" Jian Shiwei was somewhat surprised.

"I believe in you, I always have, you know that."

As Xu Yun was speaking, she suddenly said, "I'm leaving tomorrow. If you don't have anything else to do, you can stay here and keep them company. I'll feel more at ease with you here. I'll also have Lao Lin bring his wife over. You can make the arrangements as well."

It just so happens that my sister-in-law is also pregnant, so we can communicate well, instead of Old Lin, a roughneck who doesn't understand anything.

Moreover, with him around, he can protect your safety.

"Ok, I see."

Jian Shiwei asked with some doubt, "Is there something urgent that you need to go back?"

"A good friend seems to be in trouble, I need to go check on him."

Xu Yun had to leave because of an unexpected situation.

Just moments before, his phone received a satellite-encrypted text message.

It was sent by Natasha.

[Dear Xu, I'm in trouble!] (End of Chapter)
