Qianru: "Probably not. My friend is like a sister to me. Her name is Wang Chunxiao, and she works at the provincial tax bureau. She's incredibly beautiful, and we were classmates in college. Her family was doing well until six months ago when they went on a trip. Luckily, she didn't go because of a provincial meeting. Guess what happened? A plane crash took her husband and daughter. It was such a tragedy! She was devastated. I cried with her; it was heartbreaking… How could she possibly live like that? Because of this terrible tragedy, a chance encounter…" Chunxiao had met this fortune teller at the home of a provincial leader. The fortune teller happened to be telling the fortunes of the leader's family, and Qianru asked him to tell hers as well. After examining her birth date and time (her birth chart), the fortune teller immediately pointed out that Chunxiao had a wealthy and noble destiny. However, he also said she was destined to be widowed and would likely suffer the pain of losing her husband and child this year. Chunxiao was stunned; she had never met this fortune teller before! Therefore, she believed him and asked him to also tell her about her future. "She and I are good friends, good sisters. She would never lie to me! She's the one who introduced this master to tell my fortune too."
Daqi said, "Okay, we'll see when the time comes."
Upon hearing Daqi's words, Qianru hugged his neck and kissed him. Their naked bodies intertwined, whispering sweet nothings. How could Daqi resist? He immediately took Qianru's place on the spot, and the two engaged in another round of passionate lovemaking.
In the evening, Qianru drove with Daqi to pick up Jiajia from school. The three of them had dinner at a restaurant and then went home together. Daqi tutored Jiajia that night, while Qianru watched TV in the living room.
After tutoring that evening, Qianru helped Xiaojiajia to sleep. Daqi spent the night in her bedroom with a naked Qianru in his arms. In Daqi's eyes, Qianru and Muping were both his wives, and he was their man!
The next morning, Daqi woke up in a state of extreme physical arousal. He had intended to secretly take Qianru for himself, but he couldn't bear to wake the sleeping, naked beauty. Qianru's eyes were peacefully closed. Her willow-leaf eyebrows, cherry lips, fair skin, and voluptuous yet slender figure all stirred Daqi's desire. However, he still restrained his impulses and didn't disturb Qianru's erotic dream.
He gently stroked her forehead, marveling at his good fortune. After a while, Qianru woke up and asked, "Aren't you going to sleep?" Daqi said he had to go back to school soon, and it was getting late. Qianru offered to drive him to school herself, and Daqi nodded in agreement.
He suddenly smiled wickedly at Qianru, nudged her shapely buttocks with his extremely aroused member, and then gently stirred one of his index fingers inside her fragrant mouth. Daqi felt how hot the woman's mouth was, how smooth her tongue was; he truly adored this beautiful woman's sexy, rosy, and alluring little mouth.
Qianru immediately understood Daqi's intention. She glanced at him with her alluring phoenix eyes, smiled slightly, and tossed her hair back. Then she had Daqi stand on the bed, while she knelt on both knees at his feet...
Daqi looked down at the woman with an incomparably beautiful face, who was diligently stimulating his aroused parts with her hands and mouth, and his heart was filled with boundless pleasure! He murmured: Qianru, my sexy sister, you can serve me like this for the rest of your life, and I will love you forever!
After the woman's prolonged service, Daqi ejaculated profusely. This meant the woman's alluring little mouth couldn't possibly accept all of Daqi's "gift" at once; some spilled from the corners of her lovely lips. But the woman tilted her head back and swallowed the rest of the "gift" that hadn't yet spilled. Afterward, she smiled seductively at Daqi. Daqi, beaming with satisfaction, said, "Sister, you did a wonderful job!" Then, the two of them got out of bed and went to get dressed…
Qianru personally made breakfast for Daqi and served him until he finished eating. Then, Qianru drove Daqi back to school. When the car arrived at the school gate, Daqi gently kissed Qianru inside the car before getting out and walking into the school. After watching Daqi walk into the school, Qianru immediately turned the car around; she had to rush to work and take Xiaojiajia to school.
Chapter Seventeen Hotel Training
The normal, monotonous school life began again. Daqi quite loathed the classroom. In fact, he had been used to previewing and reading the material on his own since the second year of junior high school, and he only went through the motions in class. Daqi knew very well that he had extremely strong self-study abilities, and in terms of coursework, he didn't need to attend classes. The only thing that made him feel gratified was that he could sit in class with his woman, Ping, and after class, he could go on dates with her alone. Sometimes, when the mood struck him, he would even go to a hotel near the school with Ping and spend the night together.
Daqi knew he had fallen in love with four women: Wen, Ping, Qianru, and Meiting, who had gone to Singapore. Only with Wen did he feel he had wronged her. But he understood that the "fairy-like" beauty Wen was a daughter of an official, possessing unparalleled beauty and showered with love and affection since childhood. She was strong-willed and arrogant, always behaving like an "empress." Daqi was certain that since Wen loved him, she wanted him exclusively, and given her current emotions, she would never accept him, especially since he was already with Ping. Ping, however, was different. Although tall and slender, she was always timid, and her heart was certainly much broader than Wen's. If he and Wen truly loved each other, Ping wouldn't be so calculating. Even subconsciously, Ping hoped he and Wen would also be together.
That day in the hotel room, Ping nestled against Daqi's chest and told him that Wen was no longer the same as before. She used to be very lively, always laughing and joking. Since returning from the resort, she rarely spoke to anyone. Ping said she felt very guilty. Daqi felt even more strongly that it was all his fault that Wen was unhappy. He prayed in his heart: "Wen, I love you! As long as you're happy, I, Tong Daqi, wouldn't mind dying!" Daqi asked Ping to spend more time with Wen and help her relax. That way, Wen would feel better.
Ping told Daqi that she would do everything she could to help Wen.

She was happy. She said that the three of them had always been together, and she felt very bad now that she was gone. Actually, she hadn't been doing well since returning to school from the beach resort.
Daqi kissed Ping deeply, trying to comfort her. He hugged Ping tightly and said, "My dear wife, my little darling, it's my greatest fortune that you're my wife! I will love you dearly! I hope you can help Wen and cheer her up as soon as possible."
Ping said, "I don't know why, but I always lack confidence in front of Wen. Just seeing her demeanor and appearance makes me lose confidence. Honestly, I've always been confident in my looks and figure. But in front of her, I feel insecure. I always felt that one day, you two would be together."
Daqi burst into laughter upon hearing this. He felt that the little beauty in front of him, or rather, the great beauty, was always as pure as a holy lily. How could he not be happy?
Looking at Ping's beautiful face nestled against his chest, her lustrous black hair, her flawless skin, and her sweet, dependent eyes, Daqi felt an indescribable sense of comfort. Especially her long, artistic legs stirred his heart. He secretly decided to carefully appreciate these works of art. Of course, the woman in his arms at this moment was herself an exquisite work of art.
Ping looked up and saw Daqi's fiery gaze fixed on her. She knew what he was thinking. After all, she was now his woman, and she really liked his affectionate look at her.
Daqi immediately began to strip away all the external embellishments of the artwork before him, so that he could carefully examine it up close.
A work of art is a work of art; every gesture and movement exudes beauty. Especially those long, slender legs—so white and flawless, without a single blemish, incredibly soft and smooth to the touch. Daqi first used his hands, then his mouth, to carefully examine the entire work of art before him, scrutinizing every inch.
Like a work of art, the woman's face flushed crimson and her body trembled as she was being admired. Yet, she also fully enjoyed the psychological satisfaction of being appreciated by a man. What woman in the world wouldn't want to be admired by the man she deeply loves?
After carefully examining the artwork with his hands and lips, a wicked thought suddenly arose in Daqi's mind. He instructed the woman to use her thin, defined, sensual red lips to examine the male symbol of the artwork for him. The woman had clearly never done such an examination before. She stared at Daqi with wide eyes, her face full of suspicion and innocence, as if asking him, "Can that thing be appreciated in this way?" Daqi was a man, and a man who had long since completely conquered the woman before him, both physically and mentally. He simply pressed the woman's head firmly against his crotch. As the conquered one, the woman could only submit to his control, but she could not hide the shyness and unease in her heart. Her face and ears were flushed red, but she did not resist or disobey. Because this was what the man she admired wanted her to do, she could only obey.
Seeing the woman before him, blushing and shy, so pure and innocent, Daqi became even more determined to let her appreciate his work of art.
Finally, Daqi got his wish and had this woman, like a work of art, appraise the piece of art for him in the way he desired. The woman's movements were gentle and slow, her appraisal skills quite clumsy. However, this still filled Daqi with a sense of accomplishment. He wasn't worried about her lack of skill, because this was a woman who belonged to him body and soul. With time and patient guidance, he could surely train her to possess skillful appraisal techniques. At this moment, Daqi gently and meticulously instructed the woman, and she followed his guidance step by step, her appraisal skills rapidly improving. Daqi himself was also filled with a surge of excitement from the woman's appreciation.
Suddenly, he stopped admiring the woman and had her lie flat on the bed, where they began to make love. In the throes of their passion, the woman's incessant moans almost turned into screams.
After a passionate encounter, the two fell asleep together. The next morning, they were busy checking out, having breakfast, and getting ready for school. As they checked out, the hotel reception staff were astonished: firstly, the woman was incredibly beautiful, with a figure only seen on television; secondly, the man was unusually short, and the woman was so much shorter – truly a strange occurrence!
Chapter Eighteen: The Flower of Environmental Protection
Another Saturday arrived, and Daqi remembered his promise to Qianru to visit her this Saturday to see if the fortune teller would tell their fortunes. He took the bus to Qianru's house. Qianru was naturally delighted by Daqi's arrival, and the two hugged and kissed affectionately as soon as he entered. Xiaojiajia was out playing, and Qianru said she wouldn't be home for two or three days. She was as sweet as a girl in the throes of first love, constantly calling Daqi "little brother." Daqi was overjoyed and pulled her to sit on the sofa in the living room, with Qianru naturally plopping down on his lap. Daqi asked Qianru when the fortune teller would arrive, and she said he would come after lunch. Daqi had heard from Qianru last week that Wang Chunxiao was also a beautiful woman, and he really wanted to see this beautiful woman whom even a beauty like Qianru praised. Therefore, Daqi had two expectations: one was that the fortune teller would arrive so he could see whether his life's fortune was good or bad; the other was that he wanted to see just how beautiful Wang Chunxiao really was.
Daqi was currently holding a stunningly beautiful woman in his arms. Her voluptuous buttocks rested on his lap, occasionally rubbing against him, making him feel their softness. Without hesitation, he naturally slipped his hand inside her clothes and easily grasped her smooth, fragrant breasts, which were as soft as cotton. The woman glanced at Daqi with her captivating and alluring phoenix eyes and chuckled softly, "You're quite the flirt! I absolutely adore you, my little brother." She then reached for a tangerine on the small coffee table in front of the sofa and peeled it. She naturally tore the tangerine into segments and fed them to both of them. Daqi savored the tangerine, holding the woman tightly in his arms, his hands firmly grasping the "cotton ball." He thought to himself how wonderful it was to be a man; he wished this woman in his arms would always serve him so obediently.
Daqi continued to hold the woman, eating and joking around while watching a DVD. The DVD player was playing "Jin Ping Mei," starring Hong Kong actor Pal Sinn. Whenever a steamy love scene between Ximen Qing and Pan Jinlian appeared, Daqi, of course, wouldn't forget to tease the woman in his arms. The woman not only submitted but also giggled incessantly. Suddenly, Qianru said to Daqi, "Little brother, I've discovered you're really good in that area, much better than my husband. You often leave me feeling like I'm dying, my bones feel like they're falling apart. A man as strong as you should marry several wives and learn from Ximen Qing." Daqi jokingly replied, "Okay then, you can be Pan Jinlian!" Qianru immediately gave Daqi a light punch on the chest and laughed, "I'm not such an improper woman, I'm a respectable woman who's good to you." Daqi found Qianru in his arms extremely adorable. He pointed at Pan Jinlian on the TV screen and said to Qianru, "The Pan Jinlian in this movie is very innocent, unlike the Pan Jinlian in Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng's novel. That Pan Jinlian is much more lewd. Saying you're like the Pan Jinlian in the TV series means you're very pure! Why are you hitting me?" Upon hearing this, Qianru became even more relentless and gave Daqi another beating on the chest, while also acting coquettishly, "What? Pan Jinlian is pure? You little brother, do you think I'm an idiot? You're just bullying me. I'm not talking to you anymore." Daqi repeatedly said he would never dare to do it again and begged for mercy.
Qianru: "You little rascal, even if I were Pan Jinlian, you couldn't be Ximen Qing. That Ximen Qing has several wives!"
Daqi: "I have you, that's enough!"
Qianru: "Come on, come on. You men will spend money as long as you're successful or rich, otherwise you're bound to be a good-for-nothing. You'll be the same when you're rich in the future."
Daqi: "Sister, you can't generalize and condemn everyone. I'm devoted to you, sister."
Qianru: "Don't try to fool me. I've been through this before, I've seen it all in officialdom. Which official doesn't have 'a red flag flying at home while colorful flags flutter outside'? Let me tell you, if you want a future, you have to deal with these 'womanizers' every day. If this goes on for a long time, how can you not be a womanizer? So I hope you're not too naive. To be honest, even if you are a womanizer, I'll still like you, but you can't ignore me."
Daqi laughed and said, "I'm penniless right now and can't afford to spend money. I'll stick with my sister for now."
Upon hearing this, Qianru excitedly kissed Daqi and said, "Little brother, do you want other women?"
Daqi: "I don't want it for now."
Qianru said in a serious tone, "What if I wanted you to be unfaithful?"
Daqi was a little confused, so he asked, "Sister... what do you mean?" He felt that Qianru was not joking.
Qianru: "There's something you need to do for your sister. You have to promise me!"
Daqi: "As long as it's not immoral, or involves murder or robbery, I'll agree to anything!"
Qianru: "Don't worry! It's all good for you. Can you also get together with Wang Chunxiao?"
Daqi almost choked after hearing this: "Isn't she your best friend? You..."
Qianru: "Hey! I wouldn't bother with her if she weren't a good friend. Ever since her husband died, she's been living a miserable life. You know, she's not even 30 yet, still young. Is she just going to keep going like this? She'll definitely go crazy! I hope she can be a little more cheerful every day. We're sisters, I can't bear to see her suffer!"
Daqi: "She can remarry."
Qianru: "Little brother, let me tell you something. She's a veteran of the officialdom, and she's seen through all the men around her. I've advised her to get married so many times, but she just won't. She even asked me why I wouldn't remarry, saying my husband is practically dead anyway. She left me speechless. Honestly, since I got together with you, I've seen through everything, and I'm quite happy now, aren't I? So I hope you and she get together too, just to help me out. You promised, okay? Is that considered immoral or murder for money?"
Daqi: "This...this...I've never seen this person before?"
Qianru: "Didn't we meet this afternoon? I understand what you mean, you're worried she's not good-looking and might scare you away. To tell you the truth, she's the only woman I've ever thought looked similar to me since college. Back then, the men who pursued her could form a Great Wall. After graduation, she was assigned to the Provincial State Taxation Bureau, and I went to the Provincial Environmental Protection Bureau. Let me tell you, she's a famous 'tax belle' in the province! In short, I guarantee you'll be satisfied!"
Daqi: "Then, sister, you're the 'flower of environmental protection'?"
Qianru laughed and said, "Little rascal, you're quite clever!"
Daqi immediately put on a long face and pretended to be angry: "What are you saying now?"
Qianru immediately laughed and said, "Sister is wrong, sister is wrong, I should call you little brother."
Looking at Qianru in his arms, who was extremely charming, captivating, and sexy, Daqi was determined to teach her a lesson and deflate the arrogance of this "environmental flower." He said, "Just admitting your mistake isn't enough; you have to show some sincerity in your apology."
Qianru blinked and said, "Any way is fine, as long as my little brother is happy!"
Daqi pouted at his incredibly excited "Little Qi" and said to Qianru, "This is a sincere expression of my feelings!"
Qianru glanced at Daqi with a smile and said softly, "You heartless little brother, always making your sister do this. Be careful, or I'll bite you off."
Daqi: "Enough with the nonsense, just say it. Go ahead and bite, it's all meat in your mouth anyway."
Qianru then opened her phoenix eyes wide in anger, followed by a charming smile. She stood up from Daqi's lap, turned around, and knelt down in front of him...
Qianru tried her best to "express" her feelings in the way Daqi had specified, gradually increasing the speed and intensity. Daqi asked her if Wang Chunxiao was willing to be with him. The woman nodded while expressing her feelings, then stopped and said breathlessly, "It's all up to me. I guarantee you two will get together tonight." As soon as she finished speaking, she continued to express her feelings.
Tong Daqi, watching the woman's focused expression, became increasingly aroused. He could imagine how wonderful it would be to have both the "Environmental Beauty" and the "Tax Beauty" kneeling before him, allowing him to enjoy the bliss of having two women. The thought inexplicably excited him even more. He actually used both hands to press down on the woman's head, which was bobbing up and down due to her expression. He then began to pull on a certain part of his body, turning the woman's active expression into a passive one.
At first, Daqi's movements were small, but they gradually became larger. The woman seemed to be reaching her limit, but she had no choice but to accept Daqi's actions, daring not to slacken in the slightest. She could only respond by widening her eyes. Finally, Daqi couldn't hold back any longer and "erupted like a volcano," the erupting "lava" quickly covering almost the entire woman's beautiful, burning face, especially concentrated at the corners of her sexy, alluring lips…
Daqi handed the woman some tissues from the coffee table, asking Qianru to carefully clean her face. After cleaning her face, Qianru got dressed again and went to the kitchen to cook. After lunch, the two chatted in the living room, waiting for the arrival of "Taxation Flower" Wang Chunxiao and the fortune teller.
Chapter Nineteen: Destiny Prediction
As the clock struck 2:07 PM, Qianru's doorbell rang. Qianru smiled at Daqi and said, "They're here." Then, she called out, "Coming, coming!" and went to open the door for them.
As soon as the door opened, an extremely sweet voice rang out: "Sister, Master and I have arrived!"
Upon seeing Wang Chunxiao and the fortune teller, Qianru immediately opened the security door and said, "Sister, we've been waiting for you for ages! Please come in, please come in!"
Qianru led Chunxiao and the fortune teller into the living room and invited them to sit on the sofa. Daqi poured them tea. Wang Chunxiao said "thank you" and glanced at Daqi. Daqi looked at her back.
My goodness! This woman before me is truly beautiful! Her hair is styled in a unique yet dignified updo; she possesses all the features a beautiful woman should have—peach blossom eyes, a delicate nose, and cherry lips. Her snow-white skin, paired with a well-fitting red suit, gives her an air of nobility and elegance. If Qianru is a vibrant rose, then Chunxiao is a fragrant azalea. Indeed, just as Qianru said, Chunxiao is a stunningly beautiful woman! She truly deserves the titles of "Taxpayer's Flower" and "Environmental Flower"—she is equally beautiful in her own way. Perhaps it's because she's a wealthy woman or an official's wife, but like Qianru, Chunxiao is tall and slender, yet slightly plump. This is the type of plumpness that Daqi finds most captivating. He believes that plump but not obese young women are the most alluring to men!
Qianru introduced Daqi to Chunxiao, saying that Daqi was her cousin, and also introduced Chunxiao to Daqi, saying that Chunxiao was her good friend. Wang Chunxiao also introduced the fortune teller who came with her to Qianru and Daqi. The fortune teller introduced himself as Chen Daohui, from Hunan.
The four of them sat down around the small coffee table in the living room. Daqi began to sized up the fortune teller, Chen Daohui. From his appearance, he was not tall, had thinning hair, and was dressed in a suit and tie like an ordinary person, appearing to be around forty years old.
Qianru: "It's really troublesome for you, Master, to come all this way to our home. Please, Master, tell my fortune, as I am a person with an unfortunate fate. Please, Master, be sure to tell me my fate."
------------
Section Reading 15
They say, "Never report good news and hide the bad!"
Chen Daohui: "I've been telling fortunes for over twenty years, and I can say both good and bad things, so please rest assured, Ms. Fang!"
Qianru: "That's good, that's good."
Chen Daohui asked Qianru to provide her birth date and time, i.e., her birth chart (Ba Zi). Qianru provided them one by one. He then stretched out his left hand and did some calculations, taking out a pen and notebook from his suit pocket to calculate Qianru's Four Pillars of Destiny (expressed using Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches based on her birth date and time, as written by the author).
After carefully examining Qianru's birth chart, Chen Daohui briefly discussed her family background, her siblings, and her fortune from childhood to her youth. Qianru nodded in agreement with everything Chen Daohui said.
What impressed Daqi most was Chen Daohui's statement that Qianru was born with the "Heavenly Nobleman" in her destiny, which meant she would be extremely wealthy throughout her life, but she also had a fatal flaw: her four pillars of destiny contained the "Earthly Net".
I have some knowledge of the "Heavenly Nobleman" and "Earthly Net." They both represent certain meanings in a person's destiny, symbolizing a certain degree of good or bad fortune.
Chen Daohui said earnestly, "As the ancients said, 'Men should avoid the Heavenly Net, and women should avoid the Earthly Net.' Since Ms. Fang's Four Pillars of Destiny contain the Earthly Net, she must be extremely cautious in her future actions, otherwise she will surely face imprisonment."
Qianru exclaimed in surprise, "Master, what should we do? I don't want to go to jail!" She was clearly very nervous.
