Every encounter was arranged by heaven, that was Guo Xuyang's definition for meeting these women.
He knew that whoever he met, and whoever he was with, had been arranged in advance.
It was destiny, and he was merely walking the path again.
Therefore, he never refused women who came to offer themselves to him.
Whether it was Xu Xiaoyu, whom he met abroad, or Li Si, whom he knew now, both had various relationships with Xu Dahai.
Since he accepted them, he accepted them without any psychological burden.
Besides, if Li Minxi and Li Minyu could be accepted, and Lin Ziqi and Lin Zixuan could be accepted, why couldn't Li Si be accepted?
After eating oysters and drinking lamb soup, Guo Xuyang felt revitalized. He didn't mention going back. Instead, he took Li Si and Gao Lihua to the presidential suite to enjoy the pleasure of having both.
As a result, when Lin Ziqi went to the presidential suite to find the three of them that night, only Guo Xuyang was full of energy; the other two had already fallen sound asleep.
"Don't you have any consideration for a woman? Sisi just experienced it for the first time," Lin Ziqi said with annoyance, looking at the pool of red on the bed.
"Disobedient and needing discipline, and she still won't admit defeat. It's fortunate she had Gao Lihua with her, otherwise, she'd be bedridden for days."
"I think you're doing it on purpose. You know how much she has, almost like a donkey's, and you're deliberately tormenting her."
"She likes it. She said she's never seen anything like it. She even recommended I practice with her sisters. If I don't punish her, who else will I punish?"
"She's just being stubborn. She's actually a good person."
"Stubborn people tend to suffer. In this society, you need to learn to be adaptable. There aren't so many absolutes. Don't take yourself too seriously."
"Are you lecturing me? If I've done something wrong, I can change it, can't I?" Lin Ziqi said.
"It's not directed at you; I'm just speaking from experience."
"These two can't be woken up. What will you eat tonight?"
"I'll call Fatty and Xu Dahai later and ask them to come over. We were supposed to go back today, but it got delayed."
"You make it sound like it was their fault. It's your own doing. If you had something important to do, you would have disappeared long ago."
"You understand me the best." Guo Xuyang said, taking out his phone and dialing. "Fatty, where are you?"
"Yangzi, I've been waiting for your call all day. Why are you only calling now?"
"Have you eaten yet? If not, hurry over to Ziqi's place."
"What time is it? We've already finished eating. I'll talk to you later." Pi Xiaoqian said, hanging up the phone.
Guo Xuyang looked up and cursed, "Aren't you afraid of dying from exhaustion?"
"What's the situation? Are they coming?" Lin Ziqi asked.
"Don't bother with them. Just lamb soup, a beef fillet, and thirty oysters. Nothing else is needed.
Also, later you can take me to the storeroom to see where the beef and lamb should be stored."
Guo Xuyang said as he got out of bed.
"You haven't even cleaned up," Lin Ziqi said reproachfully, looking at him.
"Haven't we just finished fighting? If you had come a little earlier, it would have been more exciting."
"You're talking about others. I think you'll die on a woman's belly sooner or later," Lin Ziqi cursed, pouting.
"It's fine if I clean up now. You can help me get the food. Guo Xuyang said, stepping into the bathtub.
"Comfortable. Want to join me for a wash?"
"Save your energy. Just don't let anyone feed you when we eat."
"It's not that bad. I know my own body." Guo Xuyang chuckled.
"Show-off. Hurry up and come here," Lin Ziqi cursed and then went out.
She ordered one dish and one soup, plus thirty oysters for Guo Xuyang.
She had eaten oysters before and didn't feel anything special.
Why was Guo Xuyang always so energetic and full of vigor after eating them?
She wanted to try them, but she was worried, being pregnant. If she indulged her cravings and suffered, it would be troublesome.
It was better to stick to beef and lamb. These foods were not only good for the fetus but also very nourishing for her body.
When Guo Xuyang finished washing up and came out, the beef, lamb, and oysters had all been served.
"Want a drink? I have some good wine here," Lin Ziqi asked.
"Good wine? You're still drinking?"
"It was prepared for Sisi. She sometimes wants a drink when she's with Lili."
"How did you two become so close?"
"It was all because Xu Dahai brought her."
"What do you mean?"
"She came to find Lili with Xu Dahai a few times. After we got familiar, she just stayed here and didn't want to leave.
Sometimes, when she played out too late, she was afraid to go home, so she stayed here."
"She's afraid of something?"
"What are you saying? Don't let her seemingly carefree demeanor fool you; she's a good girl at home."
"I couldn't tell."
"You wouldn't believe it if I told you. Do you know what she does?"
"I haven't asked."
"She's an opera singer."
"An opera singer?"
"Yes. To perform opera, she shaved off her beautiful hair."
"Hasn't her hairstyle always been like this?"
"How long has it been since it grew out like this?"
"Are there still people who make such sacrifices today?"
"Don't underestimate her. She's a legitimate Huadan (a leading female role in Chinese opera)."
"So, by your account, she's quite a star?"
"Exactly. She's an only child, and her mother nags her about not finding a husband, constantly arranging blind dates.
She says she has no intention of getting married in her lifetime for the sake of art."
"Then why did she agree to have a child for me?"
"It's about the power of money. She likes opera, that's true, but how many people watch opera these days?"
"Don't tell me she plans to use this money to fund opera."
"Is that not possible?"
"You should have told me earlier. If I had known it was for that purpose, I would have donated unconditionally."
"She doesn't like to be indebted to others. Besides, if she was willing to owe someone, she wouldn't have found you; she could have just gone to Xu Dahai.
Although his family doesn't have as much money as yours, supporting her in opera wouldn't be a problem."
"The way you put it makes me feel like I'm doing something inhuman."
"I told you you don't know how to cherish women, and you're still complaining."
"Then what's the situation with her playing with those other women?"
"Can't a person have their own little secrets? Can't they have their own hobbies?"
"Is having several women share one man also a hobby? You're just making excuses."
"That's because that man is asking for it; otherwise, why would he be bullied by women?"
"I won't argue with you on that."
"Since you've accepted her, treat her well from now on. She hasn't had an easy life."
"Don't say that. It's as if my life has been easy."
"Xu Dahai pursued Gao Lihua for a long time, and Lili knows about it."
"Xu Lili knows?"
"Yes. Xu Dahai just won't give up, saying that even if he could just have one encounter, it would be a victory. It's like he made a bet with someone."
"But I snatched her away. Who won then?"
"I don't know about that."
"So, you knew Gao Lihua?"
"Who doesn't know the famous cold beauty?"
"Then why did you act like you didn't know her when I brought her here?"
"Can't you tell good from bad? It's really exasperating."
"You knew her, but she didn't know you?"
"Otherwise?"
"I understand. When did you learn to beat around the bush?"
"Isn't everyone in this society a bit naive or foolish? Sometimes being too direct can hurt people."
"What you're saying has some truth to it. Let's stop talking and eat. Guo Xuyang was surprised by how much Lin Ziqi had changed.
