Long Xiaoshan and Chun Tao were getting ready to get into the car.

Qiao Bin ran over, somewhat flustered, “Xiaoshan, I’m sorry about earlier.

I didn’t realize you were Chairman Xu’s boyfriend.

I misspoke.”

Long Xiaoshan waved his hand and said, “We’re all classmates, so let’s not stand on ceremony.

When it’s really time to celebrate something big, just give me a call.”

“Of course, of course,” Qiao Bin answered hastily.

Long Xiaoshan said, “I’m going to spend the New Year with my girlfriend at home now, so I won’t keep you.”

Qiao Bin quickly stepped aside, “You’re busy, you’re busy.”

Long Xiaoshan nodded at him, started the car, and drove out of the hotel gates.

Once on the road, Long Xiaoshan quickly put the brief interruption behind him.

...

The car’s heater was turned up high.

Chun Tao took off her windbreaker, revealing the tight white wool sweater beneath that outlined her remarkably impressive figure, heating up Long Xiaoshan’s eyes.

The little wife seemed even more charming after not seeing her for a while, gradually shedding her girlish naivety.

Unable to endure Long Xiaoshan’s gaze, Chun Tao reached out to cover his eyes, “Stop looking at me like that, you’ve seen it all before.”

“A lifetime wouldn’t be enough,” Long Xiaoshan replied.

He grabbed her soft and boneless hand and kneaded it.

The calluses from Chun Tao’s manual labor had gradually faded away after she began Qi Induction, leaving the skin of her palms smooth and tender.

Chun Tao silenced Long Xiaoshan’s sweet talk, and with one squeeze of his big hand, she completely melted into the seat, her eyes almost dripping with moisture.

Long Xiaoshan smiled faintly, stopped his hand and said, “Taozi, I’ll invest more capital into that hotel later on, expanding it into a five-star hotel.

And you should change the name of the hotel—no need to keep calling it Grand Ace Hotel.”

Chun Tao was slightly startled, “Investing in a five-star hotel will cost a lot, right?

The source of this c𝓸ntent is freewebnøvel.coɱ.

And wouldn’t changing the name affect the hotel’s business?”

“The hotel is yours now, of course the name should change.

As for business, as long as the hotel’s environment and service are good, a short-term impact won’t matter much.

Otherwise, we could just call it Spring Day Grand Hotel,” Long Xiaoshan suggested, since Wang Sihai had died and naturally, Long Xiaoshan no longer wished to use the old hotel name.

“No, that’s too ostentatious for me,” Chun Tao objected immediately.

Her name was already uncommon, and naming a five-star hotel like that would surely draw unnecessary attention to her.

“Alright, then you come up with one.”

After a half-day discussion, they decided to rename it Spring Day Grand Hotel.

They joked and laughed.

Time flew, and soon the car arrived at the road leading from the township to Longyang Village.

The new third-grade highway was now completed, providing an unobstructed, smooth ride.

Gazing at the broad asphalt road, Chun Tao could hardly recognize it as the same backward mountain ravine of the past.

It only took five minutes to get from the township to the village.

Looking down from the winding mountain road,

the transformation of the village was vast.

To the south of the village, a number of villas and row houses had been erected.

To the east were the newly built Longyang Primary School and Longyang Middle School, covering hundreds of acres, with blue buildings that were very conspicuous; red flags on the sports fields waved in the wind.

To the west lay Shieyan Beachland and Long Xiaoshan’s farm.

Even in deep winter, Long Xiaoshan’s farm was green and lush, filled with fruits and vegetables, as if the seasons and climate had no effect on it.

In the center of the village was the village square, with facilities such as senior activity rooms, a cinema, a library, and a gymnasium nearby.

To the north was the office building of Longyang Group and the village committee building.

Chun Tao’s mouth hung open in disbelief; after going to the city to study, she rarely came back home.

In fact, she hadn’t returned to the village for two or three consecutive months.

She never imagined the village could have changed to such an extent.

Chun Tao asked incredulously, “Xiaoshan, is this really our village?”

“Silly girl, of course it is.

What other place could it be?” Long Xiaoshan replied with a smile.

A look of admiration shone in Chun Tao’s eyes.

Sometimes a man’s strength wasn’t just about his martial power, which often only inspired fear in others.

But the ability to provide people with a stable and happy life, to change their destinies, and to bring prosperity to their land—that was what truly constituted a man’s charm.

Chun Tao looked at her little man with an almost obsessive fondness.

The SUV descended from the mountain path and entered the village.

The entire village had been rebuilt, with asphalt roads laid down.

Although some of the old houses hadn’t been demolished, they had been repaired and repainted, giving the village a fresh look that erased its former dilapidation.

On the village roads, cars were parked outside many of the houses.

Just six months ago, to the near-starving inhabitants of Longyang Village, this would have been unthinkable even in their dreams.

Long Xiaoshan drove to his family’s farm.

As soon as the car stopped, a young girl’s figure came running over, shouting, “Brother!”

After Long Xiaoshan got out of the car, his face lit up with an affectionate smile.

“Little Ling.”

The girl threw herself into Long Xiaoshan’s arms, embracing him with unstoppable warmth.

Long Xiaoling had come back a few days earlier because of the holiday, and it had been several months since Long Xiaoshan had seen her.

His sister was no longer the skinny girl she once was; she had grown taller and stronger, full of the youthful vigor of a young woman.

“Son, why didn’t you say anything before coming back?”

Long Dashan and his wife hurried out from the yard, with He Xiangyue voicing her surprise.

Long Dashan was also smiling as he looked at his son.

Seeing how youthful his parents looked, as if they were in their thirties, thanks to taking his medicine and keeping up with their health routines, Long Xiaoshan felt very gratified.

He laughed and said, “Mom, Dad, isn’t this a nice surprise?”

“Good son!

Little Ling, why are you still clinging to your brother?

You’re so grown up now, don’t you feel shy?” He Xiangyue teased with a laugh.

Long Xiaoling hopped down from Long Xiaoshan’s arms and made a face at He Xiangyue, retorting, “What’s wrong with hugging my brother, you old-fashioned!”

“Hey, you naughty girl, getting too bold for your own good,” He Xiangyue retorted as she reached for Long Xiaoling’s ears, but Long Xiaoling quickly dodged behind Long Xiaoshan.

At that moment, Chun Tao got out of the other side of the car and walked over, her cheeks flushed as she said, “Uncle, Auntie, little Ling.”

“You’re Taozi, sister?

Wow, you’ve become so beautiful.” Long Xiaoling stared at Chun Tao, who now had all the charms of an urban belle, surprised.

“Little Ling, you’re getting prettier too,” Chun Tao said as she took out a box.

“This is a gift for you.”

Long Xiaoling accepted it with a sweet smile, “Thank you, Sister Taozi.”

“Uncle, Auntie, I’ve brought gifts for you too.” Chun Tao fetched many big and small packages from the car.

He Xiangyue complained, “Taozi, you’re family; why be so formal?”

Chun Tao’s cheeks were burning, but her eyes sparkled with delight.

He Xiangyue’s words, calling her family, gave her a special sense of satisfaction.
