Shi Sheng had learned some of the truth from Long Run.
Back then, Sheng Xia's parents had purchased a piece of land to build a hot spring.
According to Long Run, they had planned to build a hot spring resort on that piece of land. There was a natural hot spring there.
At the time, H Province was being developed and transportation was convenient, so the resort would definitely be profitable.
They had already signed the contract, but someone had spread the news that there was a primary diamond deposit under the land.
And it was a large primary diamond deposit.
Primary diamond deposits were rare in the country. When such a piece of news suddenly spread, those who knew about it eyed Shengshi Corporation like wolves and tigers, wanting a piece of the pie.
The purchase contract in Sheng Xia's parents' hands became a death knell.
This kind of news should have been reported to the relevant departments, but the person in charge had stopped it and paid many people to keep their mouths shut.
The news hadn't spread widely in the first place, so it wasn't difficult to keep it under wraps in an era without the internet.
With Shengshi Corporation being targeted, Sheng Xia's parents quickly destroyed all information about the land purchase.
However, their actions proved that there really was a primary diamond deposit there.
That was the reason for the series of events that followed.
Sheng Xia's parents had been forced to fall into the sea with their car, leaving no trace of their bodies behind.
However, the location hadn't been exposed. Even now, they only knew that it was in H Province and didn't know its exact location.
"They wanted to take it all for themselves?" Yu Jiu hugged Shi Sheng and rested his chin on her shoulder.
"No." Shi Sheng looked up. If they wanted it, things wouldn't have escalated to such an extent.
"The higher-ups wanted it all for themselves, but my parents wanted to report it to the country."
"Who is that person?"
"Yang Huairen." Shi Sheng softly spat out the name. "He's climbed pretty high."
Yang Huairen, the country's second-in-command, could be said to be able to cover the sky with one hand.
Yu Jiu hugged her quietly. After a long while, he turned her body in a half-circle so that they were face to face.
"Do whatever you want to do. I can guarantee that you will be able to escape unscathed."
"Mm." Shi Sheng wrapped her arms around his neck and hugged him quietly.
…
At night, Shi Sheng was looking through documents when Yu Jiu pulled out a jewelry box from somewhere.
Shi Sheng frowned at him. Yu Jiu chuckled. "Your mother left it behind."
He sat down beside Shi Sheng. "I got it from my master."
"You have a master?"
Yu Jiu rubbed Shi Sheng's head but didn't reply.
Shi Sheng knew that he didn't want to talk about it, so he didn't ask and opened the box.
Inside was a necklace.
The design style was a little classical, but it was still fashionable. Even if she wore it now, it would still make people's eyes light up.
There was a thumb-sized gem at the bottom. It was blue, but when it was held against the light, it felt like it was filled with water.
"I've seen her wear it before. Because it's rather special, I recognized it at a glance."
Shi Sheng rubbed the jewel and held it to the light.
Inside, it was indeed like flowing water. When she shook it, layers of ripples appeared.
Nature was indeed magical.
Shi Sheng put down the necklace and turned to grab Yu Jiu. "Come, let's go for a spin."
"So late?" Yu Jiu was surprised. "Why don't we go for a spin on the bed?"
Shi Sheng kicked him. "Can't you think about something serious all day long?"
"What do you mean it's not serious? Making babies is always on the table," Yu Jiu argued.
Shi Sheng's lips twitched. "She's asking you to have fewer children."
"We don't have any." Yu Jiu innocently tugged at Shi Sheng's hand. "Do you prefer a daughter or a son? I prefer a son. He must be as handsome as me. Why don't we have a pair of twins? That's perfect. "
Shi Sheng suddenly fell silent.
In the past, Feng Ci didn't have many requirements for children. This was the first time she'd heard such words from him.
"Wife?" Yu Jiu panicked at Shi Sheng's silence. He hugged her and comforted her. "Don't have children, don't have children. If Wife doesn't like it, we won't have any."
Shi Sheng shook his head helplessly. It wasn't a matter of whether she wanted to have children or not, but that she couldn't.
"Do you really like children that much?"
Yu Jiu paused as he patted Shi Sheng's back. His voice was a little muffled. "It's not that … I just feel a little unsafe. Wife, I feel like you're going to leave me at any moment. I'm a little scared. "
With children, half of her attention would be taken away by them. But he preferred it when all of her attention was on him.
Shi Sheng reflected for a moment. 'Is this how he feels about me?'
She didn't like to drag things out, but she would always explain things clearly to him, afraid that he would overthink things.
Why did he have such a feeling?
Could it be that she wasn't good enough to him this time?
Who told you to be so pretentious?
Was it her fault that she wanted to hit him? She wasn't going to take the blame!
Shi Sheng sighed. She really owed him.
Shi Sheng flipped over and pressed Yu Jiu under his body, kissing him in an extremely gentle manner.
This time, Shi Sheng took the lead. The process was so gentle that Yu Jiu felt it was surreal. It was only when he courted death and tried to continue teasing Shi Sheng that he realized it was all a figment of his imagination.
His wife was still so violent.
His heart felt stifled.
But the feeling just now was really good.
He really wanted to do it again.
Yu Jiu looked at the person in his arms and felt a little restless.
"You're so energetic today?" Shi Sheng looked up at him. It was too dark, so he couldn't see his expression.
Don't talk about being able to see his eyes in the dark. Nonsense. She had to use her spiritual energy to see clearly.
Shi Sheng grabbed his hand and channeled his spiritual energy into his body, circulating it through his meridians.
"Oh …" Yu Jiu groaned. His body felt like it was wrapped in a warm current, sweeping away all of his exhaustion and tiredness. It was so comfortable. "Wife, are you really an alien?"
"Yes. Are you scared?"
"No. Even if you're an alien, I'll still like you."
"Pfft … If we really meet an alien, I think you'll run faster than anyone else." Shi Sheng circulated his spiritual energy around Yu Jiu's body a few times before releasing him. "Come, little vixen. Let's fight until dawn tonight."
"Eh?" Yu Jiu was dumbfounded.
It was only when Shi Sheng climbed on top of him that he reacted and immediately seized control of the situation.
Shi Sheng felt that he had channeled too much spiritual energy into Yu Jiu, but this guy really did fight until dawn.
The first rays of the morning sun poured in through the half-opened curtains, illuminating the two people in each other's embrace. Their exposed skin seemed to be coated in a layer of warm light.
Shi Sheng felt a little uncomfortable from the sunlight and shrank into Yu Jiu's embrace.
Perhaps it was because his movements were a little too loud that he woke him up.
It felt so good to be able to see his wife as soon as he opened his eyes.
He planted a kiss on Shi Sheng's forehead and glanced at the clock.
It was actually almost midnight.
When she woke up, she would probably be hungry, right?
But he really wanted to hug his wife.
He was so conflicted.
Should he continue sleeping or cook?
In the end, Yu Jiu got out of bed to cook. He couldn't bear to see her go hungry.
