Chapter 138 Settling Down

　　Yin Liuli was still waiting in Casino.

　　After handing over the follow-up work to the team at the 5S Asset Management headquarters, Su Yehao flew back to Casino from Shanghai overnight, right after finishing up that evening.

　　While being driven to the villa on Taipa Island, he could see the lights of the Great Golden Pagoda on the open-air square he had given to Jiang Yu, shining brightly and its laser beams shooting straight into the sky.

　　The previous two months had been during summer vacation, so there were a lot of tourists.

　　The open-air market started in July, with some vendors arranged to do a trial run. Stall rental was HK$3,500 per month, or HK$160 per day for a roughly fifteen-square-meter stall.

　　In addition, there were also some temporary shops for rent on both sides of the square, creating a food street and a pedestrian shopping street.

　　In August, at its peak, it successfully attracted more than five hundred merchants, and even residents of Hong Kong came specifically to visit the market. If the flow of customers could be stabilized, the daily rent would be quite considerable.

　　It was already past ten o'clock at night when he saw Yin Liuli.

　　The girl was wearing a bear-shaped pajama, sleepily poured a glass of warm water for Su Yehao, and said softly, "I thought you would stay in Shanghai for a few days. Why are you back so soon?"

　　"I wanted to see you and the baby, so I came back as soon as I finished."

　　Su Yehao put his hand on her stomach, and could even feel her ab muscles. Just like Nong Qingying, who had a petite waist, she would probably suffer a little during pregnancy and could only try to control her diet to prevent the baby from developing too large.

　　Yin Liuli smiled when she saw this and said, "The doctor told me that it only weighs a few grams now, about the size of a bird's egg. It would be strange if you could feel it."

　　"It doesn't matter. I'm just feeling it in advance."

　　Seeing her dozing off, Su Yehao continued, "If I had known you were already resting, I would have come tomorrow. It's okay for me. Why don't you go back to bed?"

　　"I'm fine. Actually, I took a nap for three hours at noon. The weather has been nice lately, and I took leave from your family trust, so I sleep about nine and a half hours during the day. I was just dozing off earlier."

　　Changing the subject, Yin Liuli also touched her stomach and asked, "What were you busy with in Shanghai today?"

　　"Mainly 5S Asset Management. It hasn't been established for long, so I need to keep a close eye on it. I suddenly found the chain home appliance sales industry a bit interesting, so I temporarily proposed financing a Nanjing company called Suning. I guess it's because I'm quite fair in business. They immediately agreed to my conditions, which saved me a lot of trouble."

　　Honestly.

　　Su Yehao had thought that Mr. Zhang of Suning would bargain with him about the agreement on the 10% annualized growth rate.

　　He didn't expect that after he offered the conditions, the other party agreed in less than half an hour.

　　Seeing their attitude of immediately preparing the contract, as if they were afraid that the duck in their mouth would fly away, Mr. Zhang even invited Su Yehao to Nanjing for an inspection in order to avoid any unforeseen circumstances.

　　However, Su Yehao had just been busy for several days and was too lazy to socialize, so he politely declined the other party's kindness with an excuse, saying that he would definitely go next time if he had the opportunity.

　　After listening to his explanation, Yin Liuli nodded as a matter of course and said to him:

　　"If it were me, I would agree immediately. Not only can I get a lot of development funds, but I don't have to worry about being restricted by you in the short term. The effect is far more than one plus one equals two. It may have been worth seven or eight hundred million before, but after receiving your financing, it may soon develop into a company worth four or five billion yuan."

　　Su Yehao smiled and said:

　　"If it's only four or five billion, then this deal is a failure. Four or five hundred billion yuan is more like it. You used to live on the island, and now you live in Casino. The living environment is getting smaller and smaller. It's hard to imagine how huge the potential of a market with more than one billion people will be as long as residents' incomes increase."

　　"That's right. Casino only has a few hundred thousand people in total. It's a small city in the mainland."

　　"City? Judging from the population alone, it's more like a township. At best, it's a county-level city, and its area is much smaller than theirs."

　　After finishing speaking with a smile, Su Yehao asked her again, "How has your health been these days? Actually, I was thinking about where to buy a farm with a good environment so you can have a peaceful pregnancy. What do you think of your hometown?"

　　"...Can't I live in Casino?"

　　"No, I'm just asking. Casino is discussing the splitting of gambling licenses, and there are more and more construction sites on Taipa Island. It will definitely be noisy nearby, and I'm afraid you won't be comfortable living there."

　　In fact, Su Yehao was a little worried that Casino was too small. In the future, it would be difficult for Yin Liuli to move around with her big belly without being noticed.

　　If something happened in the morning, the whole city would know about it before noon.

　　If the news leaked out, on the one hand, it would be easy to put Su Yehao on the spot, and on the other hand, it would not be good for Yin Liuli. It was almost certain that she would be harassed by paparazzi all day long.

　　Since discovering that she was pregnant, Yin Liuli had been thinking wildly recently, inevitably considering what would happen in the future. At this moment, she hugged Su Yehao's arm and said:

　　"There are indeed quite a few construction sites on Taipa Island recently. Your family has several projects there. It's okay to go back to the island for a while, but there's no need to buy a farm specifically, right? I remember the land prices are very expensive."

　　"Hundreds of thousands per mu. It's really expensive."

　　Su Yehao patted her hand and then said, "We'll see then, but you shouldn't do any work for now. It will be very hard to travel to the mainland frequently."

　　"I know..."

　　After chatting for a while, Yin Liuli began to feel sleepy.

　　Su Yehao was also sleepy. In order to overcome jet lag during the day, he stubbornly refused to sleep, and only took a nap on the plane before.

　　Until the next day.

　　After Yin Liuli got up, Su Yehao was still fast asleep.

　　Her mind was clear in the morning, and her brain worked better.

　　While brushing her teeth, she recalled Su Yehao's suggestion to go to the island to recuperate last night. After thinking about it slightly, she quickly guessed that in the future, she would not only make it inconvenient for him to visit her when she was walking around with a big belly, but it might also cause trouble to his life.

　　After all, she could still use her employee status to cover it up before.

　　When her belly got bigger or the child was born, it would be too eye-catching if the two of them appeared at the same time. Those reporters were not fools.

　　Take Su Yehao's family charitable trust fund as an example. Ever since Yin Liuli went to work there, there had been constant rumors. Everyone just chose to keep their mouths shut and pretend to be ignorant in order to keep their jobs.

　　From another perspective.

　　Yin Liuli herself didn't want to be tense and secretive for a long time.

　　The Su family's reputation was too high in Casino, which had given her a sense of being surrounded on all sides in recent years. She always felt that there was a high probability of being exposed, and she was worried about harming Su Yehao.

　　After the child was born, she would also have to consider life and learning.

　　All things considered, moving to the island seemed like a better choice. Anyway, she had no ties in Casino and could easily adapt to the new life on the island.

　　Most importantly, the distance between the two places was very close, which also made it convenient for Su Yehao to visit often.

　　Thinking of distance, Yin Liuli suddenly realized that the mainland was closer to Hong Kong? Especially Pengcheng, which was only separated by a river, and there were no language barriers.

　　Thinking of this, she washed up, put on light makeup, and sat in the living room with her laptop, searching for more livable places in Pengcheng.

　　And so.

　　As soon as Su Yehao woke up, Yin Liuli came over and said with a smile:

　　"I've decided. Let's move to Pengcheng. There's a villa community called Portofino Chunshui'an. The surrounding area is a resort, which looks very livable."

　　He was dumbfounded after listening.

　　Su Yehao: "???"
