After the divorce, he went on a motorcycle trip, and his ex-wife and daughter were filled with regre

From the bright sunshine at noon until the afternoon, it was a whirlwind of activity.

Jiang Ye seemed determined to complete the "forty times" target in a single day, relentlessly demanding more.

Jiang Ye only let Xia Yu go, satisfied, when Xia Yu was unable to lift even a finger.

The rain has just stopped.

The two lay embracing on the messy bed.

Xia Yu, like a lazy kitten, curled up in Jiang Ye's arms and fell into a deep sleep.

Jiang Ye held her soft body in his arms, smelling the fragrance in her hair, and felt a deep sense of satisfaction and comfort.

He closed his eyes and took another nap.

I don't know how much time has passed.

When Jiang Ye opened his eyes again, the light in the room had become somewhat dim.

He picked up his phone and glanced at it.

Goodness, it's almost 1 p.m.

To be precise, it was 1:45 PM.

Xia Yu beside her also slowly woke up.

She rubbed her sleepy eyes, feeling as if her whole body had been run over by a truck, aching terribly, and exhausted even to the bone.

She glanced at the clock on the wall and her eyes widened immediately.

"Oh my god..."

Xia Yu struggled to sit up, but found that her back ached so much that she couldn't muster any strength.

She turned her head, looked at the culprit Jiang Ye, and complained with a face full of resentment:

"It's all your fault!"

"Look at the time! It's past 1 a.m.!"

"I didn't do any work all day!"

Looking at Xia Yu's adorable expression of exasperation yet helplessness.

Jiang Ye couldn't help but chuckle softly.

He reached out and pulled Xia Yu back into his arms, then lowered his head and kissed her smooth, full forehead deeply.

"What job?"

"This is what a vacation should be like!!"

. . . .

"Gurgle—"

A discordant sound suddenly broke the silence of the room.

Xia Yu, who was leaning lazily in Jiang Ye's arms, blushed instantly upon hearing this voice.

She clutched her flat stomach and bit her lip somewhat awkwardly.

"Gurgle—"

Immediately afterwards, an even louder protest rang out.

This time, however, it wasn't Xia Yu's belly, but Jiang Ye's.

The two stared at each other for a second, then couldn't help but burst out laughing at the same time.

"What are you laughing at! It's all your fault!"

Xia Yu playfully punched Jiang Ye's firm chest, complaining, "From last night until now, we've only had one barbecue, and this morning... you've been putting me through all that trouble! Even an iron body can't take this!"

The two were extremely hungry.

That intense hunger, so strong it felt like my stomach was glued to my back, had completely overcome my physical exhaustion and the allure of the bed.

"Okay, okay, it's my fault, it's my fault. I really did use up too much energy."

Jiang Ye chuckled, rolled out of bed, picked up his clothes from the floor, and put them on. "Let's go, President Xia, hurry up and get dressed. We'll go downstairs for dinner. If you don't eat something to replenish your energy, I'm afraid you won't even have the strength to walk this afternoon."

Xia Yu blushed and glared at him, then dragged her aching legs off the bed and went into the bathroom to wash up and change.

When Xia Yu finished getting ready and came out in a refreshing white casual outfit.

Jiang Ye was leaning against the headboard, holding his phone in his hand, his eyes fixed on the screen, his brows furrowed.

A series of intense football commentary voices came from the phone.

"What's wrong? Aren't you leaving?" Xia Yu walked to the door and urged.

"Go downstairs and order first."

Jiang Ye didn't even look up, his eyes still glued to the screen. "This Champions League replay just happened to be showing the penalty shootout, the most crucial moment! I'll leave right after I finish watching these few minutes of the match, right now!"

Looking at Jiang Ye's typical straight-male fan look, Xia Yu shook his head helplessly.

"Then hurry up!"

"Okay, go grab a good spot and order some hearty dishes!" Jiang Ye waved his hand dismissively.

Xia Yu pushed open the door and went downstairs alone.

Around 1 p.m., the restaurant on the first floor of the inn had already passed its busiest mealtime.

There were only two or three tables of guests eating in the hall, making it seem somewhat empty and quiet.

Xia Yu chose a seat by the window and sat down.

Outside the window, there is a shimmering lake and rolling green hills; the scenery is superb.

The waiter came over and handed over a menu.

Xia Yu didn't rush to order food, but instead asked the waiter to brew a pot of local wild mountain tea.

She poured herself a cup, picked up the rough earthenware teacup, gently blew on the steam rising from the water, and drank some tea to warm her empty stomach.

Sunlight streamed through the wooden lattice window, bathing her in a soft glow that adorned her cool and refined face.

Although she was only wearing the simplest white casual clothes and had no makeup on.

However, Xia Yu's unique aura as a long-time high-ranking female president of Blue Ocean Group still made her stand out in the crowd.

Just as Xia Yu was drinking tea and gazing blankly at the scenery outside the window...

A series of slightly chaotic footsteps broke the tranquility around her.

Someone in the store came up to chat with me.

A man wearing a floral shirt, a large gold watch on his wrist (a typical accessory for nouveau riche), and slicked-back hair, walked over to the table next to Xia Yu and sat down, holding a glass of beer.

The man looked to be in his thirties, somewhat overweight, with a beer belly.

His slightly cloudy eyes had been glued to Xia Yu ever since she came downstairs, his gaze filled with undisguised amazement and greed.

"Beautiful lady, are you alone?"

The man in the floral shirt leaned back in his chair, thinking himself dashing, and raised his beer glass to Xia Yu, flashing what he considered a charming, greasy smile.

"It's no fun eating alone in this desolate place. Meeting you is fate, why don't we share a table? I'll treat you to a nice meal!"

Xia Yu frowned slightly.

She didn't even turn her head; her gaze remained fixed on the lake outside the window.

Summer rain is as indifferent as an iceberg.

Having spent so many years navigating the business world, she'd seen far too many self-important men with such poor flirting skills.

The best way to deal with this kind of person is to completely ignore them.

"No need, I'm waiting for someone." Xia Yu's voice was completely flat, so cold it could shatter ice crystals.

The man in the floral shirt was rebuffed, but he didn't give up.

On the contrary, he found this kind of aloof woman more attractive and more likely to arouse his desire to conquer her.

"Waiting for someone? Waiting for your boyfriend?"

The man not only didn't leave, but boldly moved his chair closer to Xia Yu.

"Hey beautiful, don't be so cold. Even if you have a boyfriend, it's always good to make more friends."

As he spoke, the other person took out the latest iPhone from his pocket, opened the WeChat QR code interface, and handed it directly to Xia Yu.

"Hey beautiful, let's add each other on WeChat."

"My brother is a well-known figure in this area. If you encounter any trouble here in the future, feel free to contact me."

The man shamelessly pushed his phone forward, almost shoving it into Xia Yu's face.

Xia Yu's eyes instantly turned cold.

She put down her teacup, turned around, and was about to explode in anger, ready to kick this arrogant and greasy man out.

Just then.

"Da, da, da."

A series of steady, powerful footsteps came from the stairwell.

Jiang Ye came down.

He had just finished watching that thrilling penalty shootout and was in a great mood. He put his phone in his pocket and strode into the restaurant.

As a result, he saw this scene as soon as he entered the door.

A greasy-looking fat man was holding a phone and shamelessly sidling up to Xia Yu. His drooling expression was utterly repulsive.
