Chapter 1 A Taste of Leisure

Su Yehao had almost forgotten what kind of joy a vacation could bring.

After all, his days were almost like a permanent vacation. He could sleep in whenever he wanted, travel wherever he pleased, and spend ninety percent of his time doing nothing, even wasting an hour or two just spacing out.

Over time, it had become difficult for him to appreciate the carefree joy that office workers and students experienced when stealing a moment of leisure from their busy lives.

As the saying goes, every gain has its loss.

When he went on vacation, it was merely a change of scenery, repeating the same things he usually did, like strolling around, enjoying good food, and chatting with beautiful women. It was hard to find any surprises, and everything felt ordinary.

The next morning.

He fished by the Tai Lam Chung Reservoir and caught two bighead carp. He released the smaller fish, taking only the two big ones back to the resort and asked the chef to make them into chopped chili fish head.

A bighead carp weighing more than ten jins (one jin equals 0.5 kilograms) was definitely not small among freshwater fish.

However, Su Yehao often went sea fishing, and he had caught bigeye tuna weighing dozens of jins.

Compared to that, a ten-jin bighead carp seemed very ordinary, lacking the excitement of reeling in a fish on the boat and the feeling of exhaustion afterwards. He treated it as a way to relax and cultivate his mind.

Before dinner, he ran into the resort's female owner and chatted with her for a while.

Soon after.

Su Yehao received a call from his mother. He held the phone to his ear and said helplessly, "Did Sister Sun rat me out?"

"What sister? I'm old enough to be her older sister. She's two years older than me. You should call her aunt." Mother Tang seemed to be in a shopping mall, with a noisy environment. She asked with a smile, "Who did you take to the resort? Was it that little minx from *Shang Feng Shang Shui*, or that girl from Baodao who helps you manage the store?"

Glancing at Yin Liuli not far away, Su Yehao vaguely replied, "The second one. I'm old enough, you don't need to worry about this, right?"

"Who's worrying? Can't I even ask? You need to be aware of your own actions, don't end up like your father."

Mother Tang said calmly.

Her husband had been too promiscuous, which had infuriated her to the point of deciding to separate. They had been dragging their feet on the divorce, but other than not dividing the property, everything else was the same as being divorced.

Now that her son was the one being affectionate, her attitude immediately changed. She turned a blind eye to the matter, even finding it a bit amusing.

Su Yehao replied helplessly, "I understand. By the way… who exactly is Aunt Sun? I greeted her just now, and a Rolls-Royce with the number plate '9' picked her up."

In Hong Kong, single-digit license plates, except for '1', were all in the hands of wealthy businessmen and were very expensive.

Su's father had a single-digit license plate in Casino, and in terms of value, it was not much different from those in Hong Kong.

Su Yehao was a little envious, but everyone seemed to have enough money. Rashly selling a license plate would be a loss of face. Unless someone died, it would be difficult to buy one. It required patience and waiting for an opportunity.

It was just a fancy number; it didn't matter whether you had it or not.

The old Li family's bulletproof BMW 7 Series cost tens of millions to buy, and the license plate was "6933", but it was still well-known.

"Oh, she probably went to discuss business. Sister Sun occasionally likes to invest in TV dramas and watch them herself. Her roots are in Malaysia, and her ex-husband was in the oil business. She got about five hundred million when they divorced. Nothing special."

Older women always liked to gossip, and Mother Tang knew these things like the back of her hand.

With Su Yehao's mother's strength, coupled with the fact that she managed several top private hospitals, people were always asking her for help. Even if they didn't need anything, they liked to build good relationships. Over time, her social circle became much more impressive than his.

Su Yehao understood after hearing this, thinking that it was no wonder she dared to run a high-end resort in such a remote place; she was an old rich woman who didn't care about money.

He was just asking casually, and the topic quickly changed. Mother Tang asked him to take some time in two days to attend the wedding of a friend's son, which would be held at the Peninsula Hotel.

Crashing a meal wasn't a problem.

The problem was that he would definitely meet many uncles and aunts.

Su Yehao didn't have social anxiety, but he found unnecessary social interactions too annoying, so he only said he would see about it later and didn't agree for the time being.

————————————

In the afternoon, he had another spa treatment, then returned to the city to accompany Yin Liuli to buy clothes.

While Nangong Tian hadn't returned yet, he arranged for a yacht to send Liuli to Casino. Su Yehao also took the time to meet Nong Qingying.

Three girlfriends kept him busy.

While he was happy, it was also quite a headache, especially when it came to paying the public grain (having sex), as he was most afraid of running out of stock, so he only met them outside.

After disappearing for two days, Su Yehao finally returned to his mansion on Big Wave Bay Road.

Jiang Yu's mood had basically calmed down, but she still didn't give him a good look and couldn't help but ask, "Every time Nangong has something going on, you disappear. I always feel like something's strange, there's a problem."

"I was afraid you wouldn't want to see me, so I went out for two days. I went fishing at Tai Lam Chung, trying to suppress my… that thing for you."

Su Yehao turned the tables on her… and won instantly.

Jiang Yu's earlobes turned red in an instant, and her attention was immediately diverted. She stammered, "I… I… you big radish! Hmph, who would believe you!"

Although she said she didn't believe him, she was actually both shy and ashamed, which always reminded Jiang Yu of Nangong Tian.

Although Su Yehao was deliberately teasing her, Jiang Yu felt quite guilty, feeling sorry for the little girl. However, she was also a little flustered, and her heart was pounding.

When it came to this kind of thing, she was no match for Su Yehao and fled in panic…

In the yard.

A group of workers was dismantling the helicopter pad, preparing to turn it into a fountain with bronze sculptures.

At the end of March, a neighbor hired a lawyer to contact several families nearby, mutually agreeing to ban the use of noisy helicopters to avoid disturbing others.

The other households agreed, and Su Yehao could only give up the idea of using helicopters for transportation.

Fortunately, Shek O Golf Club had a helipad, and it was only a few minutes' drive from his house to the club, which was only slightly more troublesome and didn't have a big impact. If there was a real emergency, the thousand-square-meter lawn could also be used for landing.

While Su Yehao was at home, the designer arrived with a catalog, asking him to choose the style of the sculpture in the center of the fountain.

There was Athena holding a long spear, a woman holding a bottle, and various strange styles, ranging in price from several million Hong Kong dollars to hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong dollars. Some of them were made by famous sculptors.

After Su Yehao looked at them, he chose a chariot of Ares pulled by nine horses, weighing more than six tons, with an estimated cost of two million two hundred thousand Hong Kong dollars, which needed to be customized from a company in Italy.

The designer had just praised his sharp eye when Su Yehao suddenly changed his mind again, suggesting to keep the overall shape, but replace Ares with Athena, the kind with long legs and a good figure, with a strong presence.

Having a fierce-looking old man standing in the yard was not as pleasing to the eye as a goddess of war.

After dark.

Nangong Tian rushed back to Big Wave Bay from the airport.

As soon as she saw Su Yehao, she said coquettishly, "Brother Hao, there's a role in the script that I think is perfect for you. Why don't you take a day to act yourself…"
