The God of Wealth starts with doing whatever you want

The rising steam from the hot spring enveloped the entire pool in a hazy mist.

Liang Yan leaned against Xu Yun's chest, the warm spring water soothing her skin, and the fatigue and stress of the past few days seemed to dissipate with the rising steam.

You look like you've lost weight.

Xu Yun's fingers gently traced Liang Yan's shoulder blades, where the lines were even more distinct than he remembered.

Liang Yan closed her eyes, enjoying this rare moment of intimacy.

"There's so much work at the company that I don't even eat regularly."

Xu Yun didn't say anything, but simply hugged her tighter, his hand slowly moving down her back, feeling the unique smoothness of her skin in the water.

Liang Yan's body trembled slightly.

I don't know if it was because of the temperature of the hot spring, or because of his touch.

"Xu Yun..."

She called his name softly, her voice carrying a barely perceptible longing.

Xu Yun lowered his head and kissed her lips.

But as their bodies drew closer, things gradually became more passionate.

The water rippled gently with their movements, lapping against the stones by the pool and making a pleasant sound.

Liang Yan wrapped her arms around Xu Yun's neck, practically hanging on him.

The sash of the yukata had come undone at some point, revealing a large expanse of smooth skin.

"To the room?"

Xu Yun whispered in her ear, his breath warm.

Liang Yan nodded, her cheeks flushed, whether from shyness or from the steam of the hot spring, it was hard to tell.

Xu Yun stood up first, water droplets sliding down his muscular chest.

He turned around and lifted Liang Yan out of the water. Her soaked bathrobe clung to her body, outlining her graceful curves.

Liang Yan gasped softly and instinctively hugged his neck tightly.

The distance from the hot spring pool to the room is only a few dozen meters, but walking along this path is exceptionally slow.

The door to the room was gently pushed open and then closed.

Xu Yun placed Liang Yan on the soft bed and leaned down to look at her.

The light shone through the paper window, casting a gentle glow on her face.

His image was reflected in her eyes, clear and full of affection.

"I'm afraid all of this is just a dream, Mr. Xu."

Liang Yan suddenly reached out and touched Xu Yun's face, her fingertips gently tracing his brow bone, bridge of his nose, and corner of his lips.

"Then let's make this dream more real."

For a moment, the mountain wind outside the window rustled through the bamboo forest.

After an unknown amount of time, the wind stopped.

Inside the room, after finishing their game, Liang Yan lay on Xu Yun's chest, her hair matted with sweat, and she was completely exhausted.

"You're already tired?"

Xu Yun stroked her back, his voice tinged with post-coital languor.

"Ah."

Liang Yan closed her eyes and said meaningfully, "Next time I'll bring a few more sisters, let's see if you can still be so arrogant!"

"If you really have the ability to do it..."

Xu Yun imagined that scene and chuckled, "I'll definitely remember your credit!"

"Pah, you wish."

Liang Yan rolled her eyes and said, "I was just teasing you."

"Heh, looks like you still need a good beating!"

After saying that, Xu Yun immediately got to work.

Liang Yan: "Ah! I was wrong, I was wrong... Please forgive me!"

……

For the next three days, Xu Yun stayed with Liang Yan.

The two of them slept in until they naturally woke up every morning, and then had a leisurely breakfast at the guesthouse.

In the morning, we sometimes go for a walk in the mountains to enjoy the scenery, and sometimes we just read books and chat in the room. In the afternoon, we usually soak in a hot spring, and in the evening, we snuggle together to watch the stars.

For Liang Yan, such a simple life was a luxury.

She stopped talking about work and stopped worrying about company matters, simply enjoying every moment with Xu Yun.

Because she knew that soon, Xu Yun would belong to another woman.

"If only time could stand still here."

Finally, on the fourth day, they packed their bags and went down the mountain.

The two flew back to Jiangcheng together.

After returning to Jiangcheng, Xu Yun met with Zhong Yanyan, Su Mu, Li Jinshu, Ning Qian, and several other close female friends.

Everyone needs his time, and everyone hopes he can spend more time with them.

Xu Yun tried her best to balance things, but she always felt that there wasn't enough time.

Before we knew it, a week had passed.

That morning, Xu Yun was sleeping in when her phone rang.

It was Fu Baoying calling.

"Do you remember Xiaozhi's parent-teacher meeting tomorrow?"

Fu Baoying's voice was as calm as ever, but Xu Yun could detect a hint of expectation in it.

"remember."

Xu Yun smiled and said, "My flight is this afternoon, and I'll arrive in Hong Kong tonight."

There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone.

“If you’re busy, it’s okay if you don’t come. I just… just wanted to ask.” Fu Baoying said softly, but Xu Yun knew she wanted him to come.

"I will definitely keep my promise to Xiaozhi."

Xu Yun said firmly, "See you tonight."

After hanging up the phone, Xu Yun immediately asked Yu Xuan to help him buy a plane ticket to Hong Kong for the afternoon.

There's no way around it; even private jets can't fly without pre-booked routes!
The plane took off on time at 4 p.m.

Xu Yun took a short nap on the plane, and when she woke up, the night view of Hong Kong was already visible outside the window.

This city that never sleeps is always brightly lit, as if it never tires.

Fu Baoying still personally came to pick him up at the airport.

She wore a beige suit today, simple and appropriate.

But Xu Yun noticed that she had put on more elaborate makeup than usual.

The car drove towards Repulse Bay.

On the way, Fu Baoying gave a brief report on several important tasks completed in the past few days.

Xu Yun listened, occasionally offering his own suggestions.

When she arrived home, Xiaozhi heard the door open and immediately looked up, her eyes lighting up.

"Dad!" Xiao Zhi jumped up and rushed towards Xu Yun.

Xu Yun crouched down to catch her, picked her up, spun her around, and asked, "Did you miss your dad?"

"miss you!"

Xiao Zhi hugged his neck and asked, "Will Daddy really go to the parent-teacher conference tomorrow?"

"real."

Xu Yun nodded earnestly and said, "When has Dad ever broken a promise to you?"

After dinner, Xu Yun played with Xiao Zhi for a while, and then coaxed her to sleep.

Before going to sleep, the child repeatedly asked, "Daddy will definitely come tomorrow, right?"

"must."

Xu Yun kissed her forehead and said, "Go to sleep, you have to go to kindergarten tomorrow."

"Okay, goodnight, Dad."

Goodnight, Xiaozhi.

After putting Xiaozhi to sleep, Xu Yun quietly left the children's room and found Fu Baoying standing in the corridor waiting for him.

"What? Waiting for me to go to sleep?"

"Ah."

Fu Baoying nodded.

"Then what are we waiting for?"

Xu Yun picked her up and laughed, "A moment of blissful night is worth a thousand pieces of gold!"

Nine o'clock the next morning.

The entrance to Victoria Kindergarten was already filled with all kinds of luxury cars.

This kindergarten is hailed as "Hong Kong's premier early childhood education institution," with exorbitant tuition fees, and its students are exclusively from wealthy and influential families.

When Xu Yun and Fu Baoying led Xiao Zhi into the campus, they immediately attracted a lot of attention.

"Is that Fu Baoying? The female president of Yuntian Capital?"

"Who's that guy next to her? He looks familiar..."

"I think his surname is Xu, he's from the mainland, and I heard he has a powerful background."

Whispers could be heard from time to time, but Xu Yun and Fu Baoying ignored them.

Xiao Zhi held her parents' hands tightly, her little face full of pride.

The parents' meeting was held in the kindergarten's multi-purpose hall.

The children first showcase their work or talents on stage, and then their parents and teachers interact.

Xiaozhi's display order is in the middle.

While waiting, she was a little nervous and kept gripping Xu Yun's fingers.

"Don't be nervous, you draw so well, everyone will like it," Xu Yun comforted her.

Xiao Zhi nodded, but still didn't let go of her hand.

Just then, a little boy ran past them and deliberately bumped into Xiaozhi.

Xiao Zhi stumbled and almost fell, but luckily Xu Yun caught him in time.

"Oh dear, I'm sorry!" The boy made a face, but didn't really mean to apologize.

Xiao Zhi glared at him but didn't say anything.

The boy persisted, saying, "Xu Xiaozhi, your mother looks really beautiful today, but where's your father? I've never seen your father before. Don't tell me you don't have a father?"

He spoke loudly, and several parents nearby looked over.

Fu Baoying's face instantly darkened.

She knew the boy; he was from a collateral branch of the Li family and was known for being somewhat domineering in kindergarten.

Xiao Zhi's face turned red with anger: "I have a dad! My dad came today!"

Where is it?

The boy looked around and deliberately said loudly, "Could it be that he's just rented? My mom said that some single-parent families rent a dad to attend parent-teacher conferences to pretend that the family is complete."

The snickers around them grew louder.

Just as Fu Baoying was about to speak, Xu Yun gently pressed her hand down.

He crouched down, pulled Xiaozhi behind him, and then stood in front of the boy.

The boy, about six years old and half a head taller than Xiao Zhi, was tilting his chin up with a defiant look on his face.

"I am her father."

Xu Yun said calmly, his voice not loud, but clearly reaching everyone's ears, "My name is Xu Yun."

The boy paused for a moment.

But he quickly regained his arrogance, saying, "Who knows if you're real! I've never seen you before!"

Just because you haven't seen me doesn't mean I'm not.

Xu Yun remained calm and said, "Besides, didn't your mother teach you manners? Judging other people's families casually is very ill-mannered."

These words, spoken neither too lightly nor too harshly, made the boy blush.

Just as he was about to retort, a lady in a Chanel suit hurried over.

"Hao Hao, what are you doing here?"

The lady took the boy's hand, then noticed Xu Yun and Fu Baoying, and quickly smiled, "Oh dear, Mr. Fu, what a coincidence, this is..."

She sized up Xu Yun, a scrutinizing glint in her eyes.

"This is my husband, Xu Yun."

Fu Baoying said calmly, emphasizing the word "Mr."

The lady's expression stiffened for a moment, but she quickly put on a smile and said, "So it's Mr. Xu. I've heard so much about you. My son Hao Hao is young and doesn't know any better. He doesn't speak tactfully. Please don't mind."

"Children may not understand, but adults should."

Xu Yun glanced at her and said, "Family education is very important, don't you think?"

These words were laced with barbs, and the noblewoman's expression changed. She forced a smile and said, "Yes, you're right. I'll take Hao Hao there first, and we'll talk later."

She pulled the reluctant boy away hastily.

The parents who had been watching the commotion all looked away, but the whispers continued.

"So that's Xu Yun. I heard he's very powerful..."

"Fu Baoying is actually with him? I thought it was just a rumor."

"That Mrs. Li has really messed up this time. Her child really needs to be disciplined."

Xiao Zhi clung tightly to Xu Yun's leg, looking rather smug.

Because my dad helped me fight off the bad guys!

Xu Yun squatted down and patted her head: "Xiao Zhi, remember no matter what others say, you are our precious daughter. Mom and Dad will always love you, and that's enough."

"Mmm!" Xiao Zhi nodded vigorously, her eyes sparkling.

Fu Baoying's eyes welled up with tears as she watched this scene.

She quietly took Xu Yun's hand and whispered, "Thank you."

"You're talking nonsense again."

Xu Yun grasped her hand in return and smiled, "We're family."

Then, the teacher started calling Xiaozhi's name, and it was her turn to present.

Xiao Zhi took a deep breath and walked onto the stage with her painting.

Xu Yun and Fu Baoying sat in the first row, smiling as they watched her.

"Hello everyone, I am Xu Xiaozhi."

Xiao Zhi's voice trembled slightly at first, but seeing her parents' encouraging eyes, she gradually calmed down and smiled, "This is a drawing I made. It's a drawing of my dad, mom, and me."

She unfolded the painting; under the rainbow, three people held hands, their smiles radiant.

“My dad is very busy, but he always makes time for me.”

"My mom is amazing, but she's very gentle with me."

Xiao Zhi said earnestly, "I love them very much, and they love me very much. This is my home."

There was a few seconds of silence from the audience, followed by applause.

Xiao Zhi bowed and stepped off the stage, then ran back to her parents.

Xu Yun picked her up, kissed her on the cheek, and praised her, "You spoke so well, Dad is so proud of you."

Fu Baoying also hugged her daughter, her eyes filled with happiness.

The subsequent parent-teacher meeting went very smoothly.

The teacher especially praised Xiaozhi for her recent progress, saying that she has become more cheerful and confident.

Xu Yun and Fu Baoying listened carefully to the teacher's suggestions and expressed their willingness to actively cooperate with the kindergarten's educational work.

As I was leaving, I ran into the same boy and his mother again in the parking lot.

Mrs. Li took the initiative to greet him this time, and her attitude was much more humble.

"Mr. Fu, Mr. Xu, I'm really sorry about today. I've already reprimanded Hao Hao, and he won't talk nonsense again in the future."

She nudged her son: "Haohao, apologize."

The boy reluctantly whispered, "I'm sorry."

Xu Yun nodded and said nothing more.

Xiao Zhi, standing to the side, generously said, "It's okay, I forgive you."

“Look, my daughter is much more sensible than your son.”

Xu Yun said coldly, then picked up her daughter and got into the car, ignoring the other person.

"Mrs. Li."

Fu Baoying looked at her and said, "I don't want today's incident to happen again."

"President Fu."

Mrs. Li quickly replied, "I promise, there definitely won't be any more."

The Li family is very powerful in Hong Kong, but it depends on who they are compared to.

The woman in front of them, and the man named Xu Yun behind them, were not to be trifled with, even by the standards of the main branch of the Li family, let alone the fact that they were merely collateral members of the Li family.

So when she called her husband, he was terrified and launched into a tirade of abuse, demanding that she come and apologize or she shouldn't come home.

Watching the woman leave the luxury car, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, it seems that although the man named Xu Yun was not happy, the situation was under control, and he did not intend to pursue the matter further. (End of this chapter)
