The news of Liu Ming's resignation swept through the entire capital like a whirlwind.

This isn't retirement; it's the shedding of shackles. The "Asura" who was once enshrined on a pedestal is now a completely free man, unbound by the system. Anyone who dares to try and impose rules on him is simply courting death.

However, the raging waves outside were kept out of reach of that heavy, black lacquered wooden door.

In the back garden of the courtyard house, the autumn sun shines through the dappled shadows of the trees, casting shimmering light on an exquisite white jade table.

This was an afternoon when Liu Ming was not at home.

Three women were sitting at the table.

Xi Wanqing, Nangong Yao, Lin Xiaoxiao.

A cold-faced tyrant of the legal world, a queen of the business world, and a domineering flower of the military—any one of these three stunning goddesses could shake the entire nation if picked out—are now engaged in some kind of secret international negotiation, creating an extremely eerie atmosphere.

"cough."

The first one to lose her composure was Lin Xiaoxiao. She wasn't wearing her military uniform today, but a loose sweatshirt, and she squirmed in her chair like an anxious kitten.

"Um... ladies, Master has gone to handle his retirement procedures, so... what are we doing here today?"

"Have some tea."

Xi Wanqing picked up the bone china teacup in front of her, elegantly blew on the floating leaves, took a sip, and her exquisitely flawless face still held that unfathomable aloofness.

"By the way, let's set some rules."

Nangong Yao picked up the conversation. She was wearing a wine-red silk nightgown and leaned lazily against the back of the chair, her long, fair legs crossed, exuding a natural charm and domineering aura.

"Rules?" Lin Xiaoxiao was taken aback, somewhat confused. "What rules? Didn't Master say he wanted them all?"

"Yes, he wants them all."

Nangong Yao put down her coffee cup and tapped her fingers lightly on the table, making a crisp "tap-tap" sound.

"But that doesn't mean our 'backyard' can be a mess."

She raised a slight brow with her peach blossom eyes, her gaze sweeping over Xi Wanqing and Lin Xiaoxiao.

"The three of us are all proud people. To be honest, if it were any other man, I, Nangong Yao, would be the first to castrate him."

"But he is Liu Ming."

Nangong Yao's voice lowered, revealing a deep sense of helplessness and infatuation.

"He gave up his future for us. He even dared to defy the highest levels of authority. We must accept this favor."

"so."

Xi Wanqing put down her teacup and took over the conversation. Although her voice was still cold, her tone had lost some of its sharpness and gained a touch of rationality.

"Since none of us can let him go, and we don't want him to be caught in the middle, we have to set a 'family rule.' One that all three of us can accept, a bottom line."

Lin Xiaoxiao's eyes widened in surprise. Although she grew up in the military and had a fiery temper, she always felt like a naive and innocent girl in front of her two older sisters who were as cunning as sieves.

"Then...how do we decide?"

She asked timidly.

"First."

Xi Wanqing held up one finger, her eyes filled with unwavering determination.

"No matter what happens to the outside world, the three of us are one."

"If any outsider dares to use this incident to attack Liu Ming, or tries to use any of us to deal with him, we must stand united against them and show no mercy. If anyone dares to make underhanded moves behind our backs, don't blame me for not showing any sisterly consideration."

"agree."

Nangong Yao nodded. "In business, this is the highest level of 'community of shared interests.' Anyone who dares to disrupt this balance will be dealt with severely by the Nangong Group's financial system, ensuring they never recover in their lifetime."

"I agree!"

Lin Xiaoxiao clenched her fists. "If anyone dares to bully Master and my two older sisters, I'll lead a group to ransack their house!"

"second."

Nangong Yao raised her second finger, a sly smile playing on her lips.

"Regarding...the time spent together."

At this point, all three women blushed slightly. No matter how powerful they were in the outside world, at the end of the day, they were still women who longed to be loved.

"The three of us have our own careers. Wanqing is going to lead judicial reform, I'm going to keep an eye on digital banks around the world, and Xiaoxiao is going to lead a special forces team."

Nangong Yao cleared her throat, trying her best to make her voice sound professional.

"Therefore, I suggest that we implement a 'rotation system'."

"A rotating system?"

Lin Xiaoxiao asked curiously.

"Yes, seven days a week, each of us will take turns spending two days with him, and the remaining day will be his 'rest day,' after all..." Nangong Yao glanced at Xi Wanqing, her eyes filled with a hint of mockery.

"...Our great advisor Liu also needs to recover his strength."

"Ahem!"

Xi Wanqing coughed twice from the remark, glaring fiercely at Nangong Yao, but the blush on the face of this icy beauty was impossible to hide.

"I have no objection."

Xi Wanqing forced herself to remain calm and said, "As long as it doesn't affect work, this arrangement is the fairest."

"Then... what about holidays? Like Chinese New Year? Or... his birthday?" Lin Xiaoxiao asked an extremely pointed question.

This is a problem that could trigger a world war. But Nangong Yao was clearly prepared.

"It's very simple."

Nangong Yao smiled.

"On major holidays or special days, let's celebrate together."

"Spend it together?"

Lin Xiaoxiao was stunned. Instantly, some indescribable images flashed through her mind, and her whole body turned as red as a boiled shrimp.

"What nonsense are you thinking!"

Xi Wanqing tapped Lin Xiaoxiao on the forehead in an annoyed tone.

"It's about everyone sitting together for a reunion dinner! Just like any ordinary family!"

"Oh, oh, oh..."

Lin Xiaoxiao quickly covered her forehead and gave an awkward, dry laugh.

"third."

Xi Wanqing's smile faded, and her eyes became more serious and gentle than ever before.

"This is also the most important point."

"No matter where he goes in the future, whether he continues to stand at the peak or one day truly retires from the military."

"None of us can become a burden to him."

Xi Wanqing looked at Nangong Yao and Lin Xiaoxiao.

"He is a dragon soaring in the heavens, he belongs to a wider world, to the stars and the sea of ​​this country."

"When he is tired, he can come back to this courtyard, have a bowl of hot soup, and get a good night's sleep. We can keep him company and watch him go on to fulfill his great dreams."

"That's enough."

The courtyard fell silent as the autumn wind blew a yellow leaf down, which landed on the stone table.

Nangong Yao looked at the fallen leaf, sighed softly, and then a thin layer of mist appeared in her peach blossom eyes.

"Yes, just being able to be with him is enough."

Lin Xiaoxiao sniffed and nodded heavily.

"I will strive to become stronger! I will be the sharpest sword in his hand! I will never hold him back!"

At this moment, the three women set aside all their pride, defensiveness, and jealousy.

They picked up their teacups.

Under the autumn sun, they gently touched each other.

"bite."

The crisp sound of the impact was like the most sacred and incredible covenant.

In this seemingly peaceful courtyard house, it officially took effect.

……

In the evening, when Liu Ming pushed open the courtyard gate and returned home exhausted.

He was prepared for a "storm".

However, he was met not with a cold face, nor with questions.

Instead, three stunningly beautiful women wearing aprons peeked out from the kitchen, their faces beaming with smiles.

"You're back? Quickly wash your hands, get ready for dinner!"

Liu Ming stood there, stunned, watching this scene. He felt like he had wandered onto the wrong movie set.

He rubbed his eyes, looking at the three women who were as harmonious as sisters with disbelief. An indescribable warmth instantly flowed through his body.

He knew that in this life, he was truly completely under their control.

"it is good."

Liu Ming smiled; it was the most relaxed and happiest smile he had had in the past ten years.

"I'm back."
