"I’ll go inspect the goods, too."

Shen Lingxue hadn’t gone upstairs. As one of the shareholders, she felt she had a responsibility to be there.

Su Yanyun quickly waved her hand. "Lingxue, with your delicate constitution, you shouldn’t go to the warehouse. Xinghai and I are just going to check the quality of the Anti-Aging Cream and come right back. Why would you tag along?"

"That’s true. Yanyun and I will go. You can just rest in the office," Jiang Xinghai said. He also felt it was necessary to take a look himself, including the production line.

Shen Lingxue sighed in resignation. "All right. I’ll wait for you in the office."

With that, she turned and walked toward the office building.

Su Yanyun shot Jiang Xinghai a look. "Let’s go, Xinghai. It’s only been a few days, but it looks like you’ve lost some weight."

"Have I?"

Jiang Xinghai touched his cheek, a blissful expression on his face. "My quality of life has been pretty good these past few days. I had a lot of meat for a late-night snack last night and even downed a bottle of medicinal wine. I’m brimming with energy."

The two chatted as they walked.

"Eating meat is normal, but why is someone as young as you drinking tonic wine? Is your body not holding up anymore?" Su Yanyun was a little confused. ’Jiang Xinghai is only in his twenties, the prime of his life.’

"What do you mean, ’not holding up’? When have I, Jiang Xinghai, ever not been able to hold up?" Jiang Xinghai said with a straight face.

"Then should I inspect the goods?" Su Yanyun lowered her voice, pinching the soft flesh of his side.

"Isn’t that a little... inappropriate? Inspecting the goods in broad daylight isn’t right. Maybe another day." Jiang Xinghai glanced at Su Yanyun’s cleavage.

But Su Yanyun was unfazed. "What’s so inappropriate about it? We’ll find a private spot so I can inspect the goods and see if you’re really as energetic as you claim to be."

"You really want to test me?" Jiang Xinghai let out a low chuckle.

"You should think about why I asked you to come to the warehouse to inspect the goods in the first place."

Su Yanyun gave Jiang Xinghai a sultry glare. "You ungrateful man. The last time you went back to my hometown with me, you promised you’d make time to see me. It’s been over half a month, and you haven’t come to see me alone even once, have you?"

"I’ve been busy. Really busy lately." Jiang Xinghai scratched his head.

After accompanying Su Yanyun to her hometown, he had returned and taken a trip to Jizhou, where the butcher’s granddaughter, Li Huanyan, had warmed his bed. Afterward, he’d also run into Mi Hong, and then there was Chuchu from the Imperial City.

And that wasn’t even including Lin Liping from Jishan Hall, or that pitiful woman, Meng Lihua.

’Come to think of it, he really had been with quite a few women lately.’

However, Jiang Xinghai felt no guilt.

’They were all adults, just satisfying their own needs. No one was demanding that anyone take responsibility.’

As for Shen Lingxue, however, he had developed some real feelings.

And, most importantly...

He and Shen Lingxue had been together twice now without any precautions, and it was highly likely she could be pregnant with his child.

If he hadn’t been still searching for his parents, he might have already said those three words to her.

"President Su, President Jiang."

The warehouse keeper immediately came to greet them at the entrance to the restricted storage area.

"President Jiang and I are going to do a spot check on the product quality. Go and inform the assembly line and packaging departments. In ten minutes... no, make that half an hour, President Jiang and I will come over to inspect. You can just wait for us there," Su Yanyun instructed in a serious tone.

The keeper nodded several times and left.

Su Yanyun seemed incredibly impatient. She looped her arm through Jiang Xinghai’s and darted into the restricted storage area.

This warehouse wasn’t very large, only about two hundred square meters.

After the two entered, they immediately locked the door from the inside.

"Come on, let me feel just how ’brimming with energy’ you are." The moment the door was shut, Su Yanyun threw herself at Jiang Xinghai.

"Not so fast. We should at least check the quality of the Anti-Aging Cream first..." Before Jiang Xinghai could finish his sentence, Su Yanyun’s red lips silenced him.

Su Yanyun nibbled on Jiang Xinghai’s earlobe. "Hurry up."

"So impatient?" Jiang Xinghai gave a wicked smile.

The blush on Su Yanyun’s face spread down to her neck. She reached out and pinched the soft flesh of his side again.

Fortunately, she was wearing a short skirt today.

So for Jiang Xinghai, it was an easy catch...

「Half an hour later.」

Panting, Su Yanyun broke into a smile. "I never expected you to still be so..."

"As long as you know. Don’t go provoking me so easily in the future, or else... hehehe..." Jiang Xinghai interrupted her, a frivolous look on his face.

Su Yanyun seemed a little alarmed, and also a bit reluctant to let the moment end. "In the future... will you still have time to spend with me?"

"As for time, I might have to squeeze some out." Jiang Xinghai gave a harmless-looking smile.

’He would have to go to Central State for a while soon.’

Then, he washed and disinfected his hands before walking over to the neatly stacked boxes of Anti-Aging Cream. "I’ll spot-check a few boxes first."

Jiang Xinghai randomly inspected a few boxes. After opening a container of Anti-Aging Cream, a dark brown powder was revealed.

He first sniffed it to confirm the accuracy of the medicinal ingredient dosages, then took a pinch of the Anti-Aging Cream between his fingers.

After three days of mass production, there were already three hundred boxes, with fifty containers of Anti-Aging Cream per box.

The spot check confirmed that the quality met the standard.

"The only minor flaw is the color of the Anti-Aging Cream."

Su Yanyun couldn’t help but give a wry smile. "A dark brown powder... the first impression it gives off is a bit low-grade."
