Chapter 126: New Year

Yang Fan glanced sideways at the book, snapped it shut, and tapped Wang Yun on the head. "You read this kind of thing too?"

"Still, it’s not bad to take a look yourself..."

"Pervert!" Wang Yun glared at him, then looked left and right. There was a pillow where the book had been, and something was hidden beneath it.

"What’s that?" As Wang Yun reached for it, Yang Fan pulled her back. "You want to see everything? Don't let Xi let you get corrupted."

"What are you doing?" Wang Yun asked, annoyed.

"Giving you a gift." Yang Fan kissed her directly, then used his hand to move those items elsewhere.

Wang Yun was left stunned.

Yang Fan’s phone rang again; it was Wu Qian. He let go of the blushing, shy Wang Yun and answered.

"I’m not coming back tonight, you don't need to wait for me. Yeah, I’m with Yun'er."

Wang Yun paused. *Did you tell your wife everything about us?*

Of course, what occupied her mind more was the term of endearment Yang Fan had used. Taking advantage of the moment, Yang Fan called Zhao Jing to say he wouldn't be coming over for dinner. Lin Ruo had been stationed at the Women’s Academy lately, and Xu Zihan would head over with Lin Xi after finishing her filming for the night.

Yang Fan didn't bother thinking about it; it wasn't convenient for a man to be there at night, and since there was no one home, he had been spending all his time with Wu Qian.

If he wasn't going home at night, he had to ask for leave. When he called Lin Ruo, she agreed readily, leaving him in high spirits.

"If you aren't going home tonight, where are you sleeping?" Wang Yun asked.

Yang Fan was taken aback. Wasn't he staying to keep her company?

"I’m staying with you!"

"I don't want you to keep me company, you pervert!"

"I..."

Huo Xinxi had prepared a sumptuous meal, complete with wine. It felt like a proper reunion for the three of them.

"Sister Xi, where do you see me every morning? I never see you."

"I’m at the entrance of your company. I pass by on my way to work every morning and just happen to see you walk in," Huo Xinxi said while sipping her wine.

"Don't you two feel like, just the three of us, it’s like we've gone back to when we were pretending to be a couple?" Wang Yun said, suddenly happy. It was true; the atmosphere really did bring back that feeling.

"Exactly, that’s why I wanted you to experience it again. It’s rare for us to be together like this!"

The three glasses clinked together. Finding a quiet moment, Yang Fan leaned into Huo Xinxi’s ear and whispered, "You actually just left those things on the sofa!"

"That’s only natural. I use them every night!"

"And how do you use them?"

"Guess!" Huo Xinxi replied.

As Wang Yun emerged from the bathroom, Yang Fan and Huo Xinxi quickly sat up straight.

From eight o'clock until midnight, perhaps because they had all been drinking, everyone wanted to experience the feeling of sleeping together again—it wasn't as if they hadn't done it before.

In the large bedroom, Huo Xinxi turned off the lights. In the total darkness, there was only sensation.

The three of them kept moving under the covers. At this point, it was a battle of skill between Yang Fan and Huo Xinxi to see who could seduce whom, while for Yang Fan and Wang Yun, the number of times they had been together was now just one more for the tally.

Added to the stimulation of alcohol and suppressed longing, the dry tinder burst into flames at the slightest touch.

The next morning, Huo Xinxi left for work early. Since they weren't at a hotel, but at home, it was still a workday.

Only Yang Fan and Wang Yun remained in bed...

"When are you going back?" Yang Fan asked.

"This afternoon," Wang Yun said. Thinking of the impending parting, she hugged him tightly.

Whether one misses someone or not, only the body is truly honest.

"I’m going to Tianhai in a few days!"

"How many days?"

"Next week, I suppose."

"Hm, when you get to Tianhai, you owe me my first time back!"

"Big sister, how am I supposed to pay that back?" Yang Fan asked, exasperated. It was impossible to return, short of turning back time!

And even if time were to turn back, the ending would likely remain the same.

"Right, I’m getting you a phone, specifically for our 'family' use. It has the numbers for Lin Ruo, Wu Qian, and the others. If you can't find me, just call them and you’ll know where I am."

"Also," Yang Fan opened the phone, "with this tracker, you can see my location, and this family software..."

"Are you trying to make my status as your mistress public?" Wang Yun asked.

"You're overthinking it. You aren't a mistress. You're my wife—the sixth one!"

Wang Yun swatted Yang Fan, scolding, "Sixth? Why don't you learn from Wei Xiaobao and go for seven?"

At noon, he saw Wang Yun off as she left with the group from Tianhai City. Yang Fan waved to her. It was fortunate that Tianning and Tianhai weren't far apart, and he truly did have business in Tianhai.

Twenty days after "Redemption" was dismantled, he sent Wang Yun off that afternoon, and life finally began to return to calm.

The only thing not calm was his phone, which rang incessantly with invitations. Yang Fan got a new card; he never visited those high-end clubs again.

Back at Fanmei Company, Yang Fan returned to the office.

"Uncle! Ah Jiu and the others are here from Tianhai, and Manager Han is waiting here too!"

Yang Fan nodded. He hadn't been able to attend to them during that time, and only after the dust had settled on the Redemption affair did he notify them to come.

"How is it? Has everyone gone to the resort?" Yang Fan asked.

"Yes, the first group of tourists has already gone, led by Zhang Chen and Xu Tao. They went to settle things in, and there's the matter of the two films starting production," Liu Haoyu said.

"This counts as a bonus. After taking down Redemption, not only did we not lose a cent, but we made a killing. If there are more opportunities like this, I'll take them one after another," Yang Fan said, overjoyed.

Liu Haoyu was happy too. As the chief accountant of Fanmei, he naturally knew how much money the company had made in the last two months.

This didn't even include the five people under Ah Jiu and Manager Han. More importantly, the girls from the first Women’s Academy were all-around talents who would play a huge role in the future, and the second Women’s Academy—well, the academy for the slave girls—was also generating considerable profit for the Bianhua Company.

After Yang Fan returned to Tianning and cleared out Sister Ying’s residence, he discovered she even had a villa complex. It was easy to imagine just how profitable Redemption had been.

There were also a large number of luxury car vouchers, and the villas were distributed to the first group of Fanmei employees, along with cars. The entire company was in an uproar.

"The Bianhua live-streaming platform had its first trial run yesterday, and I looked at the results; they were quite good."

"The profits from Bianhua Company are mainly used for the Women’s Academy and their daily expenses. We'll handle our development; you manage that side. Wu Qian can't spare the time."

"No problem, Uncle!" Liu Haoyu said.

As they spoke, they reached the company.

"Manager Yang!"

"Good morning, Manager Yang!"

...

Yang Fan greeted everyone warmly. Everyone at Fanmei now felt a sense of pride when they stepped out!
