"I want a baby."

These words left Su Yehao feeling unsettled, and he couldn't sleep well that night.

His physical age wasn't high, but his mental age was enough. Regarding the question of whether to have children, he always respected the girls' thoughts. So far, only Yin Liuli had been slightly tempted but hadn't truly decided to have one.

As for Jiang Yu and the little girl, they were still young and hadn't considered this aspect yet.

Nong Qingying suddenly bringing up this topic indeed made Su Yehao feel as if he were standing at a crossroads in life, wavering between wanting to be a father and not wanting to be a father.

This confused state of mind was brief, lasting only until the next morning.

Because... her period arrived.

When Su Yehao found out, his face darkened, and he immediately understood the cause and effect, saying speechlessly, "What 'wanting a baby'? Trying to get some benefits is more like it!"

"Is it my fault? Who told you you were going back to Casino to visit relatives today? I finally got to see you once, how could I let you off so easily?"

Nong Qingying couldn't help but laugh and then said:

"When are you leaving? Take me to the supermarket first. I need to buy some things to take home. The previous tenant moved out, and I'm not home often. If my parents hadn't bought some groceries, I could have starved to death at home. Yesterday, my mom said she would teach me how to make soup, so I can bring you some soup?"

"…To be honest, I don't really trust your skills. Anyway, we have maids at home. It doesn't matter if you can cook or not. You don't seem like the type to be a chef."

Hearing Su Yehao say this, Nong Qingying was relieved instead.

She smiled and said, "You still understand me best. But my mom said that if you want to capture a man's heart, you must first capture his stomach. What kind of soup do you like to drink?"

Su Yehao hugged her from behind and said:

"That's for ordinary people, right? They're easily satisfied with a good meal. We usually just eat out. Abalone, bird's nest, fish maw, caviar, black truffle – what haven't we eaten? Take a break while you're on vacation. Japan doesn't have a Spring Festival holiday like we do, so they might need you at any time."

As soon as he finished speaking.

Nong Qingying's phone rang, and she immediately complained, "No way, am I such a jinx?"

After she answered, she realized it was a call from Manager Zhang of Sohu in mainland China. She chatted casually for a few words and wished him a happy new year.

Su Yehao always thought the name Sohu was good for a portal website and search engine business – simple and easy to remember.

After ordering room service and having breakfast with Nong Qingying, they talked about Sohu's development plans. He suggested expanding into online shopping, online news, and antivirus software.

The market was big enough, so he wasn't worried about it competing with tot and Yinhai Network Group. Anyway, the profits would stay within his own circle, so it didn't matter.

Nong Qingying had a limited understanding of the internet business. After investing in Sohu, she basically acted as a hands-off manager. She mentioned that the company's money seemed to be running out and suggested that Su Yehao arrange another round of financing.

Given Sohu's scale, it wouldn't cost much. Su Yehao replied that he would talk to KOKO Ventures...

————————————————————

Using the excuse that he had been stalked by paparazzi recently.

Su Yehao had the hotel arrange a car to take Nong Qingying to the supermarket, and he didn't accompany her himself.

Nong Qingying had two additional female bodyguards, so there was no need to worry too much about security. Having a meal with her parents barely counted as fulfilling his New Year's visiting duties.

Romantic relationships often involve more than just two people; they involve two families.

Fortunately, Nong Qingying's parents didn't suggest having a meal with Su's father and Tang's mother, which would have been difficult to handle.

Of course.

Even if Su Yehao agreed to a meal between the two families, Nong Qingying might not have been willing.

Tang's mother knew her and was also close friends with the "former mother-in-law," Aunt Hua, as they were besties.

Meeting would be incredibly awkward.

Jiang Shiye didn't have these worries. He had already made arrangements with Jiang Yu and Su Yehao to have dinner with Second Madam tonight.

After leaving the hotel, he returned to Big Wave Bay to pick up the gifts he had prepared for Second Madam, Jiang Yu's parents, and Nangong Tian's mother.

Su Yehao arrived in Central and boarded the Sihai International yacht, setting off for Casino. On the way, he lay on the sofa in the living room and had a female attendant on board give him a massage, as his entire back was sore.

Linda Yun had taken a half-month vacation to visit her mother in Singapore and would be back in a while.

Having finally found an opportunity to get close to him, the twenty-something female attendant spoke in a delicate voice, massaging him and smiling:

"Young Master Su, just by looking at you, I can tell you were out having fun again last night. My grandfather runs a traditional Chinese medicine clinic. How about I massage your feet and check if there are any problems with your internal organs? Like kidney deficiency or something. Young people also need to take care of their bodies."

Working on the yacht was easy, with high pay and little work.

They only needed to be a little busy when entertaining guests, and they still got paid even when they were on vacation.

There were currently five female attendants on the Sihai International yacht. The captain and first mate were only responsible for sailing and maintenance.

Su Yehao recognized the girl, whose English name was Wendy. He continued to lie down and casually said, "Forget it, I'm too ticklish. The doctor said I'm very healthy during my check-up. How could I have kidney deficiency?"

"I haven't tried it, so how would I know?" Wendy smiled and teased him softly.

As a popular figure in the eyes of many girls, Su Yehao was often flirted with, and some even printed his posters, a treatment usually reserved for celebrities.

Hearing her blatant advances, Su Yehao chuckled, his heart as still as water.

Despite his tough talk, he was indeed starting to feel overwhelmed, so he had no interest in having affairs.

Besides, wild flowers weren't necessarily more fragrant than the ones at home.

Pretending not to understand the meaning of Wendy's words, Su Yehao changed the subject and asked, "Do you often visit different docks? Have you ever seen a super yacht that's better than my dad's?"

Wendy was slightly disappointed but didn't push it further. She thought for a moment and said:

"I don't think I've seen one in Hong Kong. They're usually smaller yachts. But I once traveled to Italy and saw a particularly large yacht, probably about three hundred feet."

Three hundred feet, which is about ninety meters.

Su Yehao had previously told Nong Qingying that he wanted to buy a yacht, and he wasn't just thinking about it. Buying a private plane took so long to deliver, and designing and manufacturing a large super yacht would take even longer.

If he placed an order now, it would probably take three or four years to launch. By then, he should be wealthier than he was now, so expenses wouldn't be a problem.

He waved his hand, indicating that she didn't need to massage him anymore, and sat up, continuing, "Really? Speaking of Italy, I was planning to take my girlfriend to Milan Fashion Week, but I almost forgot about it."

Wendy's face was full of envy, and she said:

"Milan Fashion Week is so famous. It's full of the most beautiful clothes. I really want to go."

The oblivious Su Yehao only said to her, "Find a boyfriend and have him take you traveling. You're so pretty, you won't have trouble finding someone."

He successfully killed the conversation.

That little bit of romantic aura quickly dissipated.

Not giving Wendy any chance, he guarded against women as if they were thieves.

Su Yehao had just spent a few days in the capital and wasn't interested in traveling far for the time being, but if he found a reliable shipyard, he could go to Europe along the way.

He wasn't considering these things for now.

The Sihai International quickly docked at the Casino pier, where his father's armored car had already arrived.

Taking the gifts, he first went to the little girl's house to wish her a happy new year. Her mother already knew about their relationship, so it was easier to talk to her...
