The baby banquet was lively and complete.
Several celebrities from Li Minxi's company didn't stay long, but they didn't hold back from squeezing Guo Xuyang. They left full of energy.
Li Shengyun and Xu Yifan also left the day after the baby banquet, citing busy work that required their presence. They had only been granted three days off for this occasion because of Guo Xuyang.
"Everyone's gone. I'm exhausted these past few days," Guo Xuyang said to Li Minxi as he lay on the bed.
"Tired? I think you're having too much fun to think of going home. Where have you been gallivanting these past few days?" Li Minxi shot him a glare.
"Do you think Bingbing and the others did it on purpose? I feel like the warehouse has been completely emptied."
"Who told you you're so unfaithful? Now you're complaining. I'm telling you, the suffering is far from over. They're still in their twenties and thirties, but when they reach the age of 'like a wolf and like a tiger,' you'll have your hands full."
"Then will I have to choose by flipping a tablet like the emperors of old?"
"Dream on. Do you think these women are easy to deal with? Flipping a tablet? If you dare not visit them, be careful about your reputation."
"I'd like to see who dares."
"Who dares? You have no idea who they're with when you're not here. Besides, it's normal to hug and embrace for the sake of the plot. Unless you stop them from making movies."
"Once they have children, I'll have them stay in the manor and take care of them."
"Take care of children? That's when you'll suffer even more. They'll help you with the children during the day and torment you at night. Let's see how long you can last."
"That's easy. Just have them keep having children. I don't believe they'll have the energy to torment me then?"
"The more children they have, the greater their desires will be. You'll be crying then."
"It's a real headache. But it's okay for now. I'll take it one step at a time. By the way, what do you think of the manor's blueprints?"
"What else can we think? We'll modify it according to your wishes. We have no objections. Besides, it's very convenient for the whole family to live together. With Mom as the commander, there will be no problem."
"Are you saying we're forming an all-female army?"
"Look how many women you have around you already. Aren't those twenty villas you designed for your wives? And the residential buildings, are they for your lovers? Aren't you afraid someone will get jealous and expose your affairs?"
"I'm a law-abiding citizen. Let them say whatever they want, as long as they don't disturb my life."
"Right, since you have so many women, build a whole building for a beauty salon when you get back. I want your women to be maintained like eighteen-year-old girls. That way, you won't go around harassing others."
"I won't. Am I that kind of person?"
"You won't? Then why do I hear that you've found another girl under eighteen whom you're keeping outside?"
"Who's spreading rumors? That's impossible. How could I do something like that?"
"What about Xiao Li's sister, who cleans downstairs?"
"You mean Xiao Yu? Didn't her parents pass away early? Xiao Li is helping us, so I asked President Jiang to help her transfer schools. Nothing else."
"Is that all?"
"What else?"
"I can't manage you anyway. Do whatever you want, as long as you don't shortchange us, the mother and child."
"You can rest assured about that. Absolutely not."
"Aren't we going out tonight? Do you want me to accompany you?"
"I'm tired. Just let me rest properly for a day. Besides, your body doesn't allow it. When you're better, I'll satisfy any of your requests."
"Hmph, get in bed." Li Minxi rolled her eyes at him and turned off the lights to go to sleep.
