He clearly came to his senses, murmuring with lingering fear, "If I had taken advantage of her in such a situation, how could I face Tang Qi with any dignity?"
Once he had clarity, the fire in Wu Tian's heart instantly subsided.
He hurriedly bowed to Yang Huilan and said, "I'm sorry, Sister Lan, I have to go."
With that, Wu Tian left in a hurry.
After he left, Yang Huilan suddenly sat up in the quiet room and tidied her collar.
She looked at the closed door and sighed softly, "I've been drinking for so many years, how could I possibly get drunk..."
"Wu Tian, I've given you so many chances, why are you so able to restrain yourself? It's truly... unbearable..."
As Yang Huilan spoke, her heart grew warmer.
In the dead of night, she finally couldn't help herself and slowly reached her hand under the covers...
After returning to the hotel from Yang Huilan's house, Wu Tian had intended to go home with Tang Qi.
However, seeing that it was getting late, Tang Qi didn't rush to go back and instead booked a room with Wu Tian.
That night, there was, as expected, another night of passion.
The next morning, Wu Tian and Tang Qi returned to the county town, and then Wu Tian went back home alone.
Upon returning home, Wu Tian had nothing urgent to do, so he continued to live his life leisurely.
He looked around here and there, finding it very pleasant.
One day, feeling bored, Wu Tian went to Chen Xuan's place to check on the progress of the premium crucian carp cultivation.
The weather was fine that day, and the sunlight made the entire fish pond shimmer, looking particularly beautiful.
Currently, there was no need to worry about the supply of premium crucian carp.
After all, Wu Tian had contracted most of the fish ponds in the county, so the prospects for the crucian carp industry were quite good.
However, this was a bit tough on Chen Xuan, as she was the overall manager of the premium crucian carp. Wu Tian generally didn't get involved in the day-to-day operations, so Chen Xuan had to travel back and forth between the county and her home.
Wu Tian happened to choose this time when Chen Xuan was back home to come and take a look.
By the fish pond, Wu Tian looked at the lively crucian carp and said with a smile, "Chen Xuan, you've really worked hard. I feel quite bad about it!"
Chen Xuan sat beside Wu Tian and smiled obediently, saying, "What's so hard about it? I'm getting paid by you, so this is what I should be doing."
"Besides, it's I who should be thanking you. You helped me find such a good job right after graduation, and it has greatly improved my family's financial situation. You are a benefactor to my entire family, so please don't say such things anymore. I'm not tired at all, really."
Hearing Chen Xuan say this, Wu Tian naturally didn't take it at face value.
The commercial fish ponds they had combined numbered fifty to sixty.
And Chen Xuan had to manage everything meticulously, ensuring no mistakes were made in any location. How could this be an easy task?
He smiled and said, "You shouldn't say that either. The more you say it, the more embarrassed I feel, truly."
"But don't worry, I will compensate you. Previously, the profit sharing was only for your family's fish pond, right? Now I'm expanding the scope. From now on, you will receive a fifty percent share of the profits from all fish ponds."
"What?" Chen Xuan was astonished when she heard Wu Tian say this.
As the general manager, she naturally knew the total monthly income of the premium crucian carp, which was a huge sum!
Even thirty percent would have been incredible.
She widened her eyes and said, "No way, Wu Tian, please don't do this. I can't accept it if you do!"
Wu Tian smiled and said, "This is all you deserve, there's no reason you can't accept it."
"Don't be polite with me. If you continue to be polite, I'll get angry."
Chen Xuan knew that Wu Tian was doing it for her own good, so she didn't say anything more, feeling delighted and incredibly sweet in her heart.
Just as Wu Tian and Chen Xuan were chatting.
Suddenly, Chen Xuan's father, Chen Xinhui, walked over and said with a smile, "Oh, Wu Tian, you're here. Why didn't you let me know!"
Wu Tian stood up and smiled, "Uncle, you weren't here when I arrived, so I came on my own. I apologize for not informing you!"
Chen Xinhui shook his head with a smile and said, "What are you talking about? You've helped our family so much, this is your home. You can come anytime, it's fine."
Chen Xuan asked Chen Xinhui, "Dad, where did you go? Why are you back only now?"
Chen Xinhui smiled and said, "Your Uncle Han is here. I was afraid they wouldn't find the place, so I've been waiting for them at the village entrance!"
"Uncle Han?" Chen Xuan thought for a moment and said, "Oh, I know. He's your friend in the county town, right? What is he coming for?"
Chen Xinhui smiled and said, "Nothing much, just for us brothers to have a good get-together."
"Later, you and your mother can cook a good meal, and we'll have a feast today."
Hearing their conversation, Wu Tian said, "I see. In that case, I won't disturb you any further. I'll head home first."
Chen Xinhui smiled and said, "Don't go, Wu Tian. You'll be alone when you go back, and you'll have to cook for yourself. It's so inconvenient. Why don't you stay and eat with us?"
Wu Tian hesitated and said, "That might not be appropriate. After all, it's your family hosting a guest."
"If I stay for dinner, what would that make me? It's not suitable."
Chen Xuan said, "What's not appropriate about it? Wu Tian, please stay and eat with us."
"If you're still being polite with us, then you're being too distant!"
Wu Tian was not a shy person, so seeing that Chen Xuan and Chen Xinhui had said this, he didn't refuse.
"Alright, in that case, I'll have dinner here."
Chen Xuan said happily, "Great, Wu Tian, you go out with Dad first. I'll catch a couple of fish from the pond and pick some vegetables from the garden before I come over."
Wu Tian didn't say anything more and went out with Chen Xinhui.
In the living room, Han Sheng and his son Han Guoliang were sitting on the sofa.
Han Sheng was unremarkable, but his son looked about Wu Tian's age. He had his hair slicked back, was crossing his legs, and looked a bit arrogant, with a look of disdain on his face.
"Dad, you came, but why did you have to bring me along?" Han Guoliang said unhappily. "What's so good about coming to the countryside? Look at this environment, it's even more primitive than the toilet at home!"
