Chapter Index

    “Chairman Xu, let’s go with Yunquan County. Yunquan is the most underdeveloped small county we’ve interacted with in a year of working with Lotus Charity. Our charity company has also been a great support to this county, even establishing an office there.”

    Li Jianzhang had obviously considered Xu Shaochen’s time constraints and made corresponding plans. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to make such a clear recommendation so quickly.

    “Is Yunquan County in Jiangzhou?”

    Xu Shaochen frowned as he asked. There were many small counties under Jiangzhou, but he hadn’t heard of Yunquan County.

    “Chairman Xu, Yunquan County is in Yunzhou, a remote mountainous area.”

    Li Jianzhang had information about Yunquan County at his fingertips.

    “Alright, call my secretary about my recent schedule and set a time for a visit.”

    Yunzhou wasn’t far from Jiangzhou. A round trip shouldn’t take much time, so Xu Shaochen agreed.

    “Okay, Chairman Xu, I’ll communicate with your secretary and won’t disturb you further. Goodbye.”

    Li Jianzhang said respectfully, but he didn’t hang up, waiting for Xu Shaochen to disconnect.

    Xu Shaochen hung up. He knew that if he didn’t, Li Jianzhang might keep the call going all day without daring to hang up.

    “What’s going on with Yunquan County?”

    Seeing that Xu Shaochen finished business, Liu Ruxue immediately asked.

    Liu Ruxu also paused, looking at Xu Shaochen.

    Xu Shaochen glanced at the two. “What? Do you know this place?”

    “See? You don’t care about us.” Liu Ruxue pouted and rolled her eyes, grabbing the handbag to take out her ID card, placing it in front of Xu Shaochen.

    Xu Shaochen suspiciously looked at her, then picked it up to find the address on her ID was indeed Yunquan County. “You sisters are from Yunquan County?”

    This was the first time he knew. Before this, he only knew the sisters lost their parents early and relied on each other.

    “Sister, you can’t blame him. There are so many women, just remembering birthdays is a feat. How can he possibly memorize everyone’s address? It’s hard for him.”

    Liu Ruxu said sarcastically, obviously unhappy.

    Other women also looked at Xu Shaochen with disapproving eyes.

    After all, they knew everything about Xu Shaochen, his birthday, preferences, dislikes, and even often discussed it together.

    Yet Xu Shaochen might not even remember their birthdays and birthplaces. This was upsetting.

    “Ahem, ahem. This… it’s not my fault. I’m too busy, and you all… there are so many of you I might confuse them.”

    Facing the aggressive stares, Xu Shaochen went from arguing to bashfully lowering his head, eating porridge persistently.

    “Eat, eat, eat. It will choke you. What’s going on with Yunquan County?”

    Seeing Xu Shaochen using avoidance again, Liu Ruxu said with irritation.

    Seriously.

    Can’t even remember when there are too many.

    It’s the fault of this playboy who can’t control himself, leaving love everywhere.

    Xu Shaochen finally looked up. “Yunquan County is a key focus for Lotus Charity’s support. With the year-end approaching, they invited me, the big boss, to visit to express gratitude. I’m also going to check our charity’s support results.”

    “Yunquan County is very poor. We haven’t been back for many years.” Liu Ruxue nodded with a bit of sadness, looking at Liu Ruxu. “Sister, maybe we should go back and see.”

    “How can that be? I heard Yunquan County is mountainous. Such places must be steep. And you’re both pregnant. How can you bear such a long bumpy journey?”

    Before Liu Ruxu could finish, Xu Shaochen quickly objected.

    After all, these two were carrying his future sons. If anything happened, his family’s elder wouldn’t spare him.

    “What’s impossible? Yunquan County’s roads have curves, not as steep as you imagine. Moreover, after so many years, maybe the government has already rebuilt the roads.”

    Liu Ruxu refuted Xu Shaochen’s words, her eyes eager to go back and see Yunquan.

    Xu Shaochen still wasn’t assured. “No, Yunquan can wait. We’ll visit after the children are born.”

    “It’s fine. The kids are in my belly. I should know better. Besides, my sister and I both got pregnant, and our parents don’t know.”

    Liu Ruxu touched her belly, with a hint of sadness, pursing her lips. She suddenly seemed empty.

    Since their parents died in a car accident and the compensation was forcibly taken by unscrupulous relatives, Liu Ruxue and Liu Ruxu hadn’t returned to Yunquan.

    If not for Xu Shaochen mentioning it today, they would almost have forgotten the place.

    “Yes, Shaochen. We haven’t been back to Yunquan to sweep the graves for a long time. At least let them know what kind of man we found.”

    Liu Ruxue was different from Liu Ruxu, being much more gentle. So she looked at Xu Shaochen with a pitiful expression, as if about to cry.

    What could Xu Shaochen say upon hearing this? Could he insist these two women not go back home? “Fine, fine, I’m at your mercy. We’re going back together. Satisfied?”

    He couldn’t stand seeing the women teary-eyed. It was distressing and hard to bear.

    “I knew it. You’re the best to me.”

    Liu Ruxue, sitting beside him, directly kissed Xu Shaochen on the cheek.

    “Gross. We just ate.”

    Xu Shaochen showed a disgusted look, but a faint smile appeared on his lips.

    Other women exchanged glances, shaking their heads helplessly.

    Alright, no need to finish breakfast.

    Being stuffed with dog food is enough.

    And it was the dog food from their own husband.

    “Alright, you all eat slowly. I have work to do. I’ll go first.”

    After taking a few bites, Xu Shaochen wiped his mouth with a napkin and hurriedly left with his wallet.

    “Boss, the car is ready. Going to the company directly?”

    Long Yi and Long Er had been waiting outside, the car engine still running.

    Long Yi and Long Er now followed Xu Shaochen closely for his daily security.

    Long San and Long Si mainly managed the household. The four had clear roles.

    “To Tianyu. Also, Long Er, order a motorhome, with good comfort and high safety.”

    After getting in the car, Xu Shaochen instructed Long Er.

    Since the two pregnant women were going to Yunquan, Xu Shaochen had to consider the travel tools.
