Xiaoman said, "Mom, if you had let Qi..."

Section Reading 175
My brother is tutoring me, so my grades will definitely improve.
Jia Ran laughed and said, "Okay, okay, okay. From now on, I won't interfere with the two of you. I'll only look at the results. If the results are good, everything will be fine. Just like when I run a hotel, as long as my public relations staff and sales staff perform well, I'll be happy to help them with everything."
Chapter 210 Kitchen Fun
The three chatted and laughed for a while. Then Daqi said to Jiaran, "Sister, I'm going to hold two banquets at your hotel soon."
Jia Ran asked, "Under what pretext?"
Daqi said, "First, my four construction sites have been successfully completed, and I want to thank the workers by treating them to a good drink; second, my company is expanding and will officially establish four departments, and now we have nearly 20 permanent employees."
Jia Ran smiled and said, "The moment I saw you, I knew your company was destined to grow big."
Daqi: "Why a tree?"
Jia Ran: "I guess so. I've seen countless people. I can tell who has real ability. You must have made a lot of money from these four construction sites, right?"
Daqi: "I had the accountant do a rough calculation for me a couple of days ago. The company made a total profit of about 1 million, pure profit. As you know, about 400,000 of the profits from these four construction sites belonged to Pan Qiong. So I made about 650,000 to 700,000. Of course, starting next month, the company's shares will be entirely mine. I've already bought them out with Jia Ran, giving her 200,000, so I still have about 500,000 left. That's my achievement for the year."
Jia Ran: "In less than a year, you've earned 500,000 yuan and own a company entirely of your own. Little brother, you have no connections whatsoever. For that, I admire you!"
Xiaoman said from the side, "Wow, Qi-ge, you're really amazing. You have to treat us!"
Daqi laughed heartily and said, "Just tell me what you want to eat."
Jia Ran: "Hey, ignore her. She can get anything here."
Xiaoman: "I want to eat Western food. Qige, please treat me and my mom to a meal together."
Daqi: "Sure, I'll definitely invite you. Sister, would you do me the honor? Let Xiaoman be happy!"
Jia Ran smiled slightly and said, "I haven't eaten Western food for many years. Okay, I'll make an exception and go with you this time."
Daqi: "Okay, then the three of us will have Western food for lunch today. But Xiaoman, you need to catch up on your lessons first."
Xiaoman: "Okay, Qi-ge." Jia Ran smiled and said to the two of them, "Then I'll get busy. Little brother, you can teach Xiaoman more." After saying that, she went off to do her work. As soon as Jia Ran left, Xiaoman hugged Daqi and smiled, "Qi-ge, you're so nice. You agree to everything I say." Daqi laughed, "Alright, time for tutoring. Be good, hurry up." Only then did Xiaoman sit down to listen to Daqi explain her history, geography, and politics lessons. Suddenly, Xiaoman asked Daqi, "Qi-ge, I know you and my mom are very close. I'm not a child anymore." Daqi said, "Xiaoman, your mom is very good to me, so of course I'm very good to her too." Xiaoman said, "Do I mean you love my mom?" Daqi was stunned for a moment and didn't know how to answer her.
Oh dear, how am I supposed to answer her? She's still such an immature child. I can't exactly tell her that her mother and I are lovers, can I? Oh dear, what should I do?
Xiaoman said, "Qi-ge, I know you're a good person. Actually, I don't dislike you at all. Really, on the contrary, I like you a lot. I know my mom loves you. Now that Dad isn't home, I've been sleeping with Mom. Mom hasn't been very happy because of Dad. But in the last six months, she's become much happier and more beautiful. I know you two are in love."
Daqi: "Xiaoman, stop talking nonsense and read your book."
Xiaoman: "I'm not making this up. I know you visit my mother often. And my mother even says your name in her dreams, and says you're her darling..."
Ah! Jia Ran, how could you say such a thing in front of your daughter? But she was talking in her sleep... Sigh, it would be so bad if Xiao Man found out about Jia Ran and me!
Daqi knew that Xiaoman was actually a sensible person, even though she was immature. He could only say, "Xiaoman, do you hate me? Because I'm not your father..." Xiaoman smiled and shook her head, saying, "On the contrary, I should thank you. As long as Mom is happy, that's all that matters. She doesn't care, so I, as her daughter, have no reason to care. I know why my parents don't divorce; it's all because of me. Now I think that since they have no feelings for each other, they might as well divorce. Actually, I'm all grown up now, and I understand things a little better."
Daqi touched Xiaoman's cheek and said, "Xiaoman, thank you for not hating me."
Xiaoman: "Brother Qi, I really admire you. You're so much younger than my mom, yet you dare to fall in love with her."
Daqi: "It's fate, just don't talk nonsense."
Xiaoman: "I'm not stupid. I've said before that I'm all grown up now. I know that what you and Mom have to do shouldn't be known to anyone."
Daqi: "No, you're mistaken. If your mother and father divorced, I would definitely dare to openly fall in love with your mother!"
Xiaoman: Really?
Daqi nodded and said, "Xiaoman, you're still young, so I shouldn't say too much to you. But I've never thought your mother was old. Your mother has been so good to me, and I really like her. Don't worry, I won't treat you like your father. I'll treat you like a younger sister, as long as you don't object to me and your mother."
Xiaoman: "I won't object at all. On the contrary, I want you to treat my mother well, Qi-ge!" Daqi nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will!" The two chatted for a while longer, and then Daqi urged Xiaoman to read.
Around noon, Daqi drove Jiaran and Xiaoman to the fourth canteen for lunch. Daqi asked Xiaoman, "Xiaoman, where do you want to eat?"
Xiaoman said, "Let's go to the French restaurant on Government Road for dinner." Daqi then asked Jiaran with a smile, "Sister, what do you think?" Jiaran said, "Whatever!" Daqi then said, "Okay, Xiaoman, let's go to the French restaurant for dinner." Xiaoman smiled slightly and said, "Thank you, Brother Qi!" Daqi smiled slightly, and Jiaran said, "If this continues, Brother Qi will spoil you rotten." Xiaoman made a face at her mother and stuck out her tongue.
After the three arrived at the restaurant, Jia Ran and Xiao Man sat together, while Da Qi sat opposite them. He carefully observed the beautiful mother and daughter before him. The mother, Jia Ran, could be described as mature and sexy; the daughter, Xiao Man, could be described as youthful and beautiful. What a beautiful mother and daughter!
Jia Ran laughed and said, "Little brother, why are you looking at us like that?"
Daqi smiled and said, "Sister, you and Xiaoman look so alike."
Jia Ran: "How could the flesh on my body not resemble me?" Da Qi chuckled and nodded.
Xiaoman smiled and said, "My mom is a beauty, Qi-ge, am I pretty?"
Daqi nodded and said, "Of course you're beautiful!" Daqi was telling the truth. He thought that although Jia Ran was a beautiful woman, Xiao Man was definitely a beautiful young girl! Their figures were also similar. Of course, Xiao Man's figure didn't have Jia Ran's maturity and sexiness. However, Xiao Man's figure was very beautiful and delicate.
The three of them each ordered a set meal and a drink. While eating, Jia Ran said, "It's been so long since we've eaten out. We've always eaten at our own hotels."
Daqi: "Sister, you should go out and get some fresh air. Don't always lock yourself in the hotel."
Jia Ran: "Because the hotel is doing so well, I can't come out."
Daqi: "Keep a firm grip on financial and procurement authority, and delegate some powers altogether. You should also relax a bit."
Jia Ran: "But I can't let go, I'm afraid they'll make mistakes or something. To be honest, sometimes I really want to quit. I feel like the money I've made is enough for Xiaoman and me to live on for the rest of our lives, I really want to stay home and rest."
Daqi: "Sister, have you ever thought about just staying home and doing nothing? I mean, why don't you just transfer the hotel to someone else? Although I'm young, I'm getting a little tired of doing business. I'm planning to quit after a few years."
Jia Ran: "You're still young, you can work for a few more years. I'm not young anymore."
Daqi: "Qiwen, my family, and I told each other that we would stop doing business once I've earned enough money. I'll just close the company down. You can never earn all the money in the world."
Jia Ran: "I'm thinking about this, and I'm considering whether I should stop. All these years, I've ended up like this with Xiao Man's father because of running the hotel. Sometimes I feel like I've let my daughter down."
Xiaoman: "Mom, I've never complained about you. Don't worry, with Qi-ge here, everything will be fine. I'll definitely improve my studies." Jia Ran nodded, looking at Xiaoman and then at Da Qi. The three of them chatted about other things for a while. About an hour later, they finished their meal and left the restaurant. Da Qi was about to take the mother and daughter back to their hotel when Xiaoman said she had made plans to meet up with classmates that afternoon, and waved goodbye to Da Qi and Jia Ran. Da Qi then took Jia Ran back to her hotel alone.
Back at the hotel, Daqi and Jiaran talked in Jiaran's office. Daqi told her about his conversation with Xiaoman that morning.
Daqi: "Sister, Xiaoman already knows about us. She asked me this morning, so I could only answer truthfully."
Jia Ran: "You can't be blamed for this. I was talking in my sleep, there's nothing I can do about it. The truth will come out eventually. As long as she can truly let it go, that's good. Actually, I'm genuinely happy that she doesn't reject you!"
Daqi: "It's rare that she's so open-minded at such a young age. Little brother, since Xiaoman already knows and doesn't mind what happened between us, why don't you come to our house more often in the future, and why don't you just sleep with your fifth brother tonight? It's been so long since a man has held me and slept with me until dawn."
Daqi nodded and smiled, "Okay, where will Xiaoman sleep? Doesn't she sleep with you?"
Jia Ran: "She has her own room, so it's fine."
And so, Daqi spent the whole day with Jiaran. That evening, he called Qiwen to say he had something to do and couldn't come home, but would return the next day. Daqi openly drove Jiaran home, and Jiaran said, "Little brother, I'll cook you some dinner tonight." Daqi nodded and said, "Thank you!"
After the two returned to Jia Ran's home, Da Qi accompanied her to the market to buy groceries. Da Qi felt that he was Jia Ran's man, so he naturally accompanied her to buy groceries.
Daqi thought to himself: It's time to experience ordinary family life with his "fifth brother." After buying groceries and bringing them home, Daqi helped Jiaran wash the vegetables in the kitchen. Jiaran happily said, "My husband used to accompany me grocery shopping a lot when we were dating. Thinking about it now, it feels like so many years ago." Daqi smiled slightly and hugged the beautiful woman in front of him, saying, "Don't think about the past. Now I'm your husband, and your husband is with you right now, isn't he?" He then kissed the woman, and Jiaran smiled and hugged him back. Daqi sucked on Jiaran's lips and tongue, feeling a sweet sensation in his mouth. Perhaps because it was rare to spend time with Jiaran in the kitchen, Daqi found it exciting and smiled at her, saying, "Sister, kneel down!" The woman was initially stunned, but a smile immediately appeared on her lips. Ignoring the dirt on the floor, she obediently knelt before Daqi. Daqi stroked the woman's hair and pretty face, and Jiaran naturally unbuckled his belt and gently pulled down his underwear...
Daqi had always admired the woman's obedience and gentleness. Looking at the beautiful woman's sweet smile as she gently moved her head, he said, "I have always been grateful to you and love you very much. You are such a thoughtful person!" The woman spat out what was in her mouth and smiled, "Enjoy it. I just want you to be good to me and Xiaoman."
Daqi stood there, stroking the woman's beautiful hair, breathing deeply in comfort. He kept praising her skillful techniques. As the woman's head swayed more and more frequently, he finally let out a soft "Ah..."
Daqi kissed away the remaining taste from Jia Ran's lips; she had already swallowed what the man had given her. He helped Jia Ran up from her kneeling position and said, "That was great, I really liked it. Have you ever flirted with your husband in the kitchen before?" Jia Ran shook her head and said, "If he were half as romantic as you, he wouldn't have left me. You're much better than him!" Daqi kissed the woman and said, "Isn't that better than him too?" As he spoke, he pressed the woman's hand to his crotch. Jia Ran lightly slapped the man's chest and said, "You rascal, what's the point of comparing?" Daqi teased her deliberately, "How much better am I than him?" Jia Ran said, "He's at most a little more than half as good as you." Daqi laughed triumphantly.
If you can conquer more than a dozen women at the same time, how can you survive if you're not strong?
The two started washing and chopping vegetables again. Actually, Xiaoman had already returned while Jiaran was kneeling in front of Daqi. Since she had a key to the house, she opened the door and came in. As soon as she entered, she heard some noises coming from the kitchen. The little girl was a bit curious, so she quietly approached the kitchen... When she saw this extremely strange scene between her mother and Daqi, she was so surprised that her mouth dropped open, but she didn't make a sound.
Xiaoman is a modern high school student now, and since she spends a lot of time online, she knows what her mother and Daqi are doing.
Xiaoman thought to herself: So it's true that men and women can really play like this? I used to think it was fake, but seeing how engrossed Mom and Qige were today, I realized it's real.
Xiaoman couldn't bear to leave, so she secretly hid in the kitchen to watch the wonderful "performance" without making a sound.
Chapter 211 Major Projects
Xiaoman only quietly slipped away after Daqi and Jiaran resumed washing the vegetables. After washing the vegetables, Daqi left the kitchen, letting Jiaran cook. He was genuinely surprised to see Xiaoman sitting on the living room sofa: had this girl already seen him and Jiaran's "good deed"? Daqi smiled and said, "Xiaoman, when did you get back?" Xiaoman was clever enough to reply, "I just came in." Daqi looked closely at Xiaoman and noticed her face was flushed. He knew Xiaoman must have seen his passionate moment with Jiaran. He sat down next to Xiaoman and started chatting with her.
Daqi thought to himself: Never mind you, Xiaoman. So what if she saw it? Jia Ran and I are just like that, Xiaoman, you know my mother and I are in love. Since your mother and I are in love, it's perfectly normal for me to flirt with her and make her kneel at my feet to please me. I hope you can understand, whether you like it or not, because this kind of thing will definitely happen often in the future. Who told me I just like women kneeling and serving me like that? Even if a woman doesn't like it, she has to comply with my demands until she does.
Xiaoman suddenly whispered, "Brother Qi, I want to ask you what you and Mom were doing in the kitchen just now? Don't lie to me, I'm not a child anymore." Daqi could only touch her little face and say, "You saw everything?" Xiaoman blushed and nodded, saying, "You two were so crazy!" Daqi could only say, "Your mother and I love each other, it's nothing." Xiaoman whispered, "No, that's not what I meant. I meant... I meant, when Mom was helping you, how did you feel?" Daqi didn't want to answer her; he knew the beautiful girl in front of him was just curious. He said to Xiaoman, "When you grow up and get married, you'll naturally know."
Xiaoman whispered in Daqi's ear, "I felt so strange when I was peeking at you guys just now. Look, Qi-ge!" Xiaoman grabbed Daqi's hand and put it under her skirt, letting him touch her warm, damp panties. Xiaoman said, "Qi-ge, why am I like this?" Daqi touched her panties, then stretched out his hand and laughed, "Xiaoman, you're all grown up now. You'll understand when you have a boyfriend. Your boyfriend will tell you."

"Okay," Xiaoman said. "Brother Qi told me to tell you that I want you to be my boyfriend. Will you tell me?"
Daqi had long known that Xiaoman had feelings for him; after spending so much time together, Xiaoman listened to him in everything. He was an experienced man and understood that a young girl only listens to a man she likes. Actually, Daqi also had feelings for Xiaoman, because she was so beautiful, so pure, and so adorable. He didn't know when it started, but he found himself enjoying directing and ordering Xiaoman around, and the girl obediently complied. However, because of Jia Ran, Daqi had never revealed his feelings to Xiaoman. Now that Xiaoman had asked him to be her boyfriend, he decided not to hide his true feelings. He pulled Xiaoman close and kissed her lightly, saying, "You really like me?" Xiaoman nodded and said, "Although you and my mother love each other very much, I don't think you're the right age to be boyfriend and girlfriend. It's best if you and your mother keep things secret. I've said I'm not a child anymore; I understand the reasons behind this. I think it would be better if I were your girlfriend, and you and your mother could stay together." Daqi hugged her and asked, "Aren't you jealous?" Xiaoman said, "Why would I be jealous of my mother? I feel a sense of intimacy and naturalness when I'm with you. I feel like I think about you every night before I go to sleep. Sometimes I think how wonderful it would be if you weren't in love with your mother." Daqi said, "If I weren't in love with your mother, how could I have met such a beautiful girl like you?" Xiaoman nodded and said, "That's true. I know you have many women; I've heard my mother talk about it. But I don't mind at all; I still like you very much." "I like you. I don't know why either," Daqi said, hugging Xiaoman. "I'm so lucky, you're just as magnanimous as your mother. But there are conditions for being my girlfriend." Xiaoman asked, "What conditions?" Daqi said, "No jealousy, and you have to listen to me in everything." Xiaoman nodded and said, "When have I ever not listened to you, Brother Qi?" Daqi smiled, touched her cheek, and laughed, "Yes, you're right. Your mother listens to everything I say, let alone you. I'll talk to your mother later. If she agrees to let you be my girlfriend, then everything is OK. If she doesn't agree, then forget it." Xiaoman shook her head. She simply sat astride Daqi's lap, wrapped her arms around his neck, and said, "In my heart, you've already been my boyfriend. It doesn't matter if my mother disagrees, as long as we agree." Daqi nodded and kissed her, the two kissing passionately. Daqi asked the girl, "You've kissed other men before, how come you're so skilled?" Xiaoman smiled slightly and pointed to the computer in the living room, saying, "What can't I see?"
Daqi knew that Xiaoman inherited Jiaran's personality; Jiaran was completely obedient to him, and so was Xiaoman. Whatever, since he liked Xiaoman and Xiaoman liked him, he might as well just take her in. So what if he took both mother and daughter in? He'd already taken in Qiwen and her daughter; what was there to be afraid of in taking in Xiaoman? However, he had to consider Jiaran's feelings. If she disagreed, so be it; Jiaran had done him a great favor, and he couldn't forget that!
Just then, Jia Ran came out of the kitchen. She saw Da Qi and Xiao Man hugging each other but didn't say anything. She already knew her daughter liked Da Qi; she was an easygoing person. Oh well, as long as her daughter's happy, that's all that matters!
Jia Ran said, "It's time to eat, aren't you two going to separate?" Only then did Da Qi separate from Xiao Man.
The three began eating dinner, and Daqi thought Jiaran's cooking was quite good. He praised her as he ate, "Sister, your cooking is really delicious!" Jiaran smiled and said, "Eat more if you like it." While they were eating, Daqi directly asked Jiaran, "Sister, you must know about Xiaoman and me. I like her, and she likes me too. What do you think?" Xiaoman replied, "Mom, I genuinely like Brother Qi."
Jia Ran looked at them and said, "I knew what you were thinking all along. I have nothing to say, just think it through yourself. Actually, I couldn't accept it at first either. But then I thought, your ages are just right. Little brother, you should take good care of Xiao Man from now on." Da Qi said, "Sister, I'll listen to you. If you don't agree, I will resolutely not be with Xiao Man." Jia Ran shook her head and said, "Actually, what's the point of living a lifetime? Just be happy. I just hope you're good to Xiao Man. You can be her man, or you can be her brother. In short, take good care of her and don't let her suffer." Xiao Man said, "Mom, Brother Qi will definitely not let me suffer." Jia Ran said, "That's good, everyone eat more."
Daqi was a little surprised. How could the mother and daughter be so open-minded? He had been worried that Jia Ran would object, but she hadn't. However, he really had too many women. It was better not to have a physical relationship with Xiaoman for now. Perhaps he was getting tired of it. Not tired of his women, but he felt he had too many. As the saying goes, extremes meet. He only needed to keep these dozen or so women; it didn't really matter whether he took Xiaoman or not.
People can be so contradictory sometimes. Just now, when Xiaoman was sitting on my lap and acting all cute, I did have an impulse to just take her in. But now, after thinking about it calmly, I think it's better not to.
Jia Ran seemed to see through something. She said, "Little brother, is it because Xiaoman is my daughter that you're hesitant? Otherwise, you used to get very excited when you saw a beautiful woman. But today you don't seem excited at all!"
Daqi said, "Sister, I'll tell you later." After all, Xiaoman was there, and he didn't want to hurt her feelings.
After dinner, Daqi and Xiaoman watched TV together, even occasionally kissing each other on the cheek in the living room. But Daqi didn't feel any excitement. That night, Xiaoman naturally went to her own bedroom to rest. Daqi, on the other hand, lay in bed chatting with Jiaran; he didn't even have sex with her.
Jia Ran: "Little brother, what are you thinking about?"
Daqi: "Sister, I don't know why, but I feel a little tired. Actually, I like Xiaoman too, but I don't seem to have any impure thoughts about her."
