Daqi chatted and laughed with Xiaoling, Beibei, and Shajiaxin for a while. He beckoned to Xiaoling and said, "Ling'er, come here!" Xiaoling smiled slightly and walked over, straddling his lap. He was once again "surrounded" by three women. Xiaoling said, "Master, shall the four of us go to the bedroom?" Daqi asked Beibei and Shajiaxin, "Come on, let's go to the room together. Tonight, I'm going to have the three of you serve me well." These words made Xiaoling beam with joy, while Beibei and Shajiaxin blushed. Daqi said to Xiaoling, "Ling'er, you lead the way, I'll embrace the two beauties..."

Section Reading 219
The people walked behind. "Xiao Ling smiled and said, "Yes, Master!" Then she deliberately walked in front of Da Qi and the other two with a cat-like gait, leading them to the bedroom. As Da Qi walked into the bedroom with Er Mei in his arms, he looked at Xiao Ling's swaying hips in front of him and was suddenly filled with lust: Xiao Ling, you little vixen, just wait and see how I deal with you later!
After the four entered the bedroom, Daqi said to Su Beibei and Sha Jiaxin, "Bei'er, Xin'er, help me undress. Ling'er, don't let me see a single piece of clothing on you." Xiao Ling immediately smiled and said, "Yes, Master." She then began to undress herself, while Sha Jiaxin and Su Beibei busied themselves removing Daqi's "armor." Tonight, Daqi was going to properly play the role of "Emperor," having three of the four most beautiful women in the school's broadcasting department—his three newly acquired "concubines"—serve him well. Having only been at university for half a year, three stunningly beautiful campus beauties had become his subjects; he suddenly felt he should properly display his "Emperor's" majesty!
As Beibei shyly removed Daqi's last "armor," Daqi turned her head and kissed her for a while. He said to Beibei and Shajiaxin, "Today, I'll show you both something amazing. Remember, learn from Xiaoling, okay?" The two girls nodded shyly. Daqi smiled and said to them, "Like Xiaoling, be naked." The two girls whispered, "Yes, Master." So, they began to take off their clothes, and Xiaoling was already a sexy, naked goddess! After Beibei and Shajiaxin became "Venus," Daqi naturally embraced the two beauties' slender waists and led them to the bed. Daqi said to Xiaoling, "Ling'er, you're the most mature one here. I'm giving you a task." Xiaoling smiled and said, "Master, go ahead." Daqi smiled and said, "Little slut, you take good care of these two and teach them how to serve me well." Xiaoling was used to joking with Daqi, and she especially liked to speak according to his wishes. So she smiled and said, "Yes, my master, this slut understands, this slut will demonstrate for you! You two come here!" Daqi patted Beibei and Jiaxin's buttocks with both hands and said, "Go on, listen to her." The two girls nodded, blushing. Long ago, Daqi had jokingly said to Xiaoling, "Ling'er, Beibei is a pure girl. If I take her in, you must teach her how to serve me. Understand?" Xiaoling deliberately said in a coquettish voice, "Master, don't talk about Beibei. Just say the word, and I'll train as many as you want. Wasn't I personally trained by you?" Daqi nodded in satisfaction: This girl really understands his heart. From now on, she will be the "boss" at school, but outside of school, Qiwen will be the "boss"!
Now Daqi wanted her to demonstrate to Beibei and Sha Meiren how she served him, her master. She immediately did as she was told, and even called Su Beibei and Sha Jiaxin to join her. The three beauties knelt perfectly before Daqi. Xiaoling sat in the center, smiling and tilting her head back at Daqi, smoothing her beautiful hair, looking at her beloved man with adoration. She parted her lips slightly, a seductive smile playing on her lips as she tried to please Daqi…
Sha Jiaxin, having just served Daqi in such a manner, merely watched Xiaoling with curiosity. Su Beibei, however, widened her eyes and gasped, covering her mouth with her hand: "Oh my god, how can this be?" But Xiaoling seemed so engrossed… Daqi then realized that Su Beibei was seeing such an incredibly sensual scene for the first time. He said, "Bei'er, my little darling, you must learn. Your master brother loves it when a pure and innocent beauty like you serves me this way, understand?" Daqi practically commanded Su Beibei, his heart filled with the feeling of conquest. He was essentially ordering the cold-blooded beauty he had completely conquered, Su Beibei, to serve him the way he demanded. Su Beibei, seeing Daqi's serious expression, immediately nodded gently. Daqi then smiled slightly and began to enjoy Xiaoling's lip service… Soon, Sha Jiaxin took over from Xiaoling, displaying her gentleness and charm, and finally, Beibei clumsily began to please Daqi, stroke by stroke. Seeing Beibei's clumsy attempt, not only Xiaoling and Sha Jiaxin shook their heads with laughter, but Daqi also smiled as he looked at her. Beibei spat out what was in her mouth and said, "Master brother, don't...don't laugh at me, I never..." Daqi tenderly picked her up and kissed her, saying, "Bei'er, you're the best. I won't laugh at you. Learn slowly from Xiaoling later, don't rush it. Don't worry, I still love you the most!" Then he said to the other two girls, "Don't worry, you are my favorites too!" Xiaoling and Jiaxin smiled knowingly.
Actually, Daqi felt very sorry for Beibei because she was indeed too naive. Daqi had intercourse with the three women in turn, and all three responded with gentle moans. Xiaoling was the most exaggerated; her moans were the loudest, leaving Beibei and Jiaxin speechless. While enjoying Xiaoling's body, Daqi said to the other two beauties, "Learn well, learn well. Only like Ling'er, is it interesting!" Beibei's face flushed red again. When Daqi vigorously enjoyed Xiaoling's anus, Beibei and Jiaxin were completely dumbfounded...
Xiaoling felt her blood boiling, passionately calling out her lover Daqi's name. He then said to Beibei and Jiaxin, "Beibei, Xin'er, don't be surprised. You'll have to go through this with your husband sooner or later!" Daqi's words made the two women's pretty faces flush even more... Daqi took turns enjoying the three beauties' graceful bodies, finally satisfying himself in different places on each of them—Xiaoling's anus, Beibei's mouth, and Jiaxin's... Daqi commanded Beibei, "Beibei, my little darling, swallow it!" Upon hearing this, Beibei looked up and saw Daqi's resolute yet infinitely gentle expression. Without thinking, she closed her eyes, swallowed hard, and gulped down a mouthful... Only then did Daqi nod in satisfaction. He loved the feeling of pure and beautiful women obeying his commands. This was the true pinnacle of controlling beauties!
Daqi held Beibei and Sha Jiaxin in his arms, while Xiaoling held Beibei in hers, and the four of them lay together on the large bed in the bedroom. He was very satisfied with the performance of his three "concubines" tonight. He softly asked Beibei, "Beibei, did you like everything I did to you just now?" Su Beibei nodded in satisfaction and said, "Master, whatever you want Beibei to do, I will listen to you. I don't know why, I just love listening to your orders." Daqi stroked her hair and said, "It's good that you like it. Remember, being my woman means you have to listen to me, especially in bed, understand?" Beibei smiled and nodded, but she asked, "Master, you really have a manly spirit, so domineering. I know you are very gentle with us, but actually, whatever you want us to do, you always have your reasons, and we will do it!" Daqi kissed her lightly and said, "You really know how to..." "Understanding people, you're such a good girl!" Sha Jiaxin chimed in, "Master, we're willing to follow you at any time, as long as you're willing to speak." Daqi asked Xiaoling, "Ling'er, why aren't you saying anything?" Xiaoling immediately replied, "Master, of course I'll listen to you in everything, you know that without me saying it." Daqi laughed heartily, "Ling'er, you're becoming more and more understanding of me." Beibei and Jiaxin immediately said, "Then should we be understanding of you too?" Daqi hugged them and kissed each of them, saying, "Yes, yes. But you still need to learn more from Xiaoling." The two girls immediately whispered, "Master, we will, we will definitely do as you say!"
Daqi felt like a true emperor in front of his beautiful wives; his words were imperial edicts. He loved the feeling of these beauties obeying his commands. In fact, he enjoyed arbitrarily directing and ordering them in bed. Off the bed, he usually yielded to his wives. This was his cleverness—indulging them, even spoiling them, in ordinary times. But at the "crucial" moment, he loved to display his masculine, domineering, and controlling side in front of his "Empress" Qiwen and his beautiful "concubines"! This feeling of dominating his beauties, both physically and mentally, was truly exhilarating! Now, with just a word from him, the seventeen beauties in his home and the three beauties before him would obey his will. Because they knew that Daqi truly loved each of them, and that he would risk his life to protect them! Therefore, although Daqi had many women, each woman was willing to follow his orders—living harmoniously, closely united and revolving around him, the "center"! Whenever the "center" gave instructions, they would carry them out without fail. They felt that the more passionate Daqi was with them in bed, the more he bossed them around, even domineeringly commanded them, the more he loved them. They all thought: "My master loves me so much, and his commands are a sign of his love. I must do my best to show him my gentle, obedient, and submissive side. I must do everything I can to please him. I can't fall behind my sisters!"
As the saying goes, competition breeds vitality. Daqi is surrounded by so many women, each of whom feels a competitive pressure, vying to show him their gentleness, charm, and submissiveness. Therefore, he only needs to say a word to one of his wives, and that wife will undoubtedly do exactly as he says!
That night, Daqi drifted off to sleep with the three women. Daqi was happy, smug, and incredibly accomplished. Xiaoling, Beibei, and Jiaxin were all top-tier beauties from art schools, the dream girls of countless boys, but now they were all women who willingly submitted to him. Daqi thought: Ling'er, Bei'er, Xin'er, I will definitely treat you three "concubines" well. After all, I am the "emperor"!
Tonight, the "Emperor" found himself in a dream, though he was unaware it was a dream. He arrived at a pavilion beside a lotus pond. Only Xiaoling was there, smiling gently at him. Daqi looked closely at Xiaoling; she was draped in a thin veil, her other clothing barely visible, making her appear exceptionally beautiful and pure. He smiled and then noticed that Xiaoling held a flute. Without a word, she picked up the flute and began to play, producing a remarkably beautiful and harmonious melody. Daqi sat down opposite her, thoroughly enjoying the music. Suddenly, he saw Su Beibei and Sha Jiaxin enter the pavilion from a distance. They sat beside Xiaoling, and the three of them began to play the flute together. Although they were playing as a group, the music remained beautiful. Daqi leisurely enjoyed the performance, watching the three beauties smile at him. Just when Daqi thought the three beauties would continue playing, another beautiful woman entered the pavilion. Daqi looked up and exclaimed, "My goodness!" It was Shu Dongyue who had entered. She immediately joined the flute-playing group; the "Four Beauties of Broadcasting" were now playing a flute piece for Daqi, who was delighted and nodded repeatedly in appreciation. As the four played, two more women entered the pavilion. Daqi recognized Han Meng and another woman. He knew Han Meng, but the other woman was a stranger, though very beautiful with a stunning figure and a long ponytail. Even more strangely, this woman was hopping along. Daqi thought, "My goodness, why aren't you walking properly? Why are you hopping?" Han Meng and the hopping beauty smiled and approached him, standing before him and beginning a ballroom dance. "That unfamiliar beauty must be the teacher," Daqi thought. Han Meng and the other woman's dance steps were beautiful, their movements exceptionally graceful and coordinated. Daqi glanced left at the "Four Beauties of Broadcasting" playing the flute, then right at the two beautiful teachers dancing, when suddenly a giant crocodile emerged from the lotus pond. The "Four Beauties of Broadcasting" weren't afraid; they continued playing their flutes, while Han Meng and the other teacher were startled. Daqi, however, showed no fear at all. A bow and arrow had somehow appeared in his hand; he smiled, drew the bow, and fired an arrow at the crocodile. The crocodile died instantly. Then, Han Meng and the other teacher smiled slightly and resumed their ballroom dancing in front of him… When Daqi awoke, he found himself still sitting in the pavilion beside the lotus pond.
Daqi woke up remembering his dream very clearly. To his surprise, it was already dawn when he woke up. He looked at the three beauties; they were still asleep, especially Beibei, whose smiling face seemed cold, exuding an excellent aura. Sha Meiren had a pretty face, while Xiaoling was a sweet girl. Daqi thought about it and felt like something was missing. Could it be Shu Dongyue?
No, no, no. I, Tong Daqi, have no feelings for Dongyue. Although she's beautiful and alluring, she's someone else's mistress, and I wouldn't have any such intentions. Of course, Dongyue is a nice girl. Hey, three of the "Four Beauties of Broadcasting" have already become my "concubines," so losing Dongyue won't matter. But why was Dongyue in my dream just now? And she was even playing the flute with the other three beauties—what a strange dream! You know, Dongyue rarely interacts with the three beauties in front of her, even though the four beauties are in the same department. What's even stranger is that Han Meng and another beautiful woman who seems to be a teacher don't know the "Four Beauties of Broadcasting" at all. She's a literature teacher, not a broadcasting teacher, right? How come they were in a pavilion in my dream? Hey, that's just a dream. Dreams are sometimes very strange, so strange that you can't explain them.
Daqi was overjoyed because Han Meng, the beautiful teacher, had appeared in his dream. In truth, Han Meng had always held a place in his heart; he considered her the most beautiful teacher. He had seen many beautiful teachers throughout his life, but none possessed Han Meng's beauty and气质 (qi zhi - a combination of inner beauty, elegance, and refinement). Han Meng had a transcendent quality; she seemed like a lotus flower, "rising from the mud unsullied, washed by clear ripples without becoming seductive."
With nothing better to do, Daqi compared the three beauties in front of him, along with Han Meng, and his wives Qiwen and Xiao Li. The three beauties were indeed pretty, but they lacked Qiwen's confidence and Xiao Li's maturity and ease. Of course, Qiwen was also slightly older than them. Qiwen was always his favorite, his unwavering first wife. The three beauties shared a similar temperament with Xiao Li; both were broadcasting and hosting graduates, selected through a special process to attend university, and all were beautiful. However, the three beauties lacked Xiao Li's maturity and open-mindedness. Qiwen and Xiao Li were the most beautiful wives in his family, but Han Meng was different; she seemed even more mature than Xiao Li. Yes, Han Meng was somewhat like the "busty goddess" Yulou in his family—of course, Han Meng didn't have that kind of figure; Yulou's was the most ample and sexy! But Han Meng gave off a very elegant feeling. In short, every beauty is different, and Daqi loved having beauties of all kinds around him. This wasn't just Daqi's dream, but every man's dream!
Therefore, Daqi subconsciously likes Han Meng, even loves her. Of course, despite being bothered by the teacher-student relationship, he feels mostly respect for Han Meng!
Teacher Han, Teacher Han, as long as you're willing to be my teacher, I, Tong Daqi, am willing to be your student for life! Of course, you have to come to class for me every day. Although I don't love English, because of your presence, I at least listen attentively for the entire 45 minutes of class, even though I never review any so-called English afterwards.
Daqi got up very early this morning because he was going home. After brushing his teeth, he went to the bedroom. The three beauties were already awake, waiting for Daqi's instructions. Daqi said...

"You three go to sleep. Today, you can either stay home and watch TV obediently, or go to the library to study and review your lessons. It's up to you. Starting tomorrow, you'll all have to come to the library with me for final exam review." Beibei said, "Master, why are you up so early?" Daqi walked closer to them and smiled, "Today I'm going home to see my wife, children, and mother, your mother-in-law. Be good, you three. I might not be back until tomorrow morning. You three can sleep here." The three beauties nodded. Daqi suddenly had a whimsical idea and decided to perform a special ceremony with the three beauties to show his "sovereignty," possession, and conquest of them. Because when the three beauties woke up in the morning, their three bright red lips looked extremely sexy and charming. He bluntly stated his idea, and the three beauties smiled charmingly and knelt respectfully in front of him one by one to perform the special ceremony with him. Looking at the three beauties' beautiful and charming faces and their adoring eyes, Daqi suddenly remembered the scene in his dream of the "Four Beauties of Broadcasting" playing the flute together by the lotus pond. Daqi smiled and told the three beauties to go back to bed. He kissed each of them properly before getting dressed and driving home.
When he got home, Yijing opened the door for him. After parking the car and getting out, he hugged his beautiful personal maid and asked, "Did you miss your brother?" Yijing smiled and nodded, saying, "My sisters are still sleeping. Only Meiting and I got up. We got up to water the flowers. The two maids went to buy breakfast." Daqi led Yijing into the house and asked, "Is everything alright at home?" Yijing nodded and said, "Mom went out for a walk early this morning to get some fresh air. She should be back soon." Daqi saw Meiting and called out, "Ting'er!" Meiting was overjoyed to see her husband home and snuggled into his arms, saying, "Honey, I missed you so much!" Daqi hugged Meiting and Yijing, one on each side, and asked, "How much did you miss me?" Meiting said sweetly, "I just missed you so much." Upon hearing this, Daqi immediately asked Yijing, "And you?" Yijing smiled and nodded. Daqi laughed heartily and gently patted Meiting and Yijing's buttocks. The two women chuckled. Daqi said, "I'll beat you two little sluts." Meiting smiled and said, "Slut is slut, it's only natural for me to be slutty in front of you, who told you to be our husband and master?" Yijing also said, "Brother, don't you like it when people are slutty in front of you?" Daqi smiled and said, "Ting'er, Jing'er, come with me to the study." After arriving at the study, Daqi took out a deluxe edition of "The Secret Manual of Mandarin Ducks" and said, "Take a look at this first." Meiting and Yijing curiously began to look at the book, both of them reading with great interest. After a while, he said, "Jing'er, close the study door. Ting'er, help me undress." The two beauties immediately did as they were told, knowing that their master would "favor" them this morning. Daqi hadn't expected the two beauties to get up so early, but seeing their delicate and beautiful appearance, he was already quite intoxicated, and with the two beauties constantly saying "I miss him," he naturally understood what they meant.
Daqi thought to himself: Hey, they're all my wives. While everyone's fast asleep, I'll feed them first.
Daqi said, "Use everything you just read in the book, especially the part about two beauties serving one man." Meiting and Yijing immediately did as they were told. One was his first love—the beautiful Meiting, and the other was his personal maid—the pretty Yijing. Actually, Yijing wasn't young anymore; she seemed a little older than the three beauties at school. But Daqi always felt she was a little beauty. He felt the same way about Xiaoman because she was Jia Ran's daughter. Although she was a little older than the three beauties at school, he always felt Xiaoman was a little girl. Ye Huan and Zheng Jie, on the other hand, seemed to be getting more and more mature and sexy to Daqi. Especially the mixed-race beauty Ye Huan; her figure seemed more mature and sexy than before. Seeing his women become more beautiful than before, he was genuinely happy!
This morning, Daqi went all out, ravaging six irresistible spots on Meiting and Yijing's bodies. Both women, drenched in fragrant sweat, cried out in pleasure, being sent to ecstasy by Daqi two or three times in a row. While pushing Meiting's delicate body away, Daqi said, "Ting'er, my little slut, open your mouth!" After Daqi completely withdrew from Meiting's alluring anus, Meiting obediently turned her head and smiled, looking at him with adoration, slightly parting her cherry lips...
Daqi chuckled, genuinely delighted that the elegant and beautiful Meiting had so obediently allowed him to fully enjoy her ministrations. Yijing gently wiped Daqi and Meiting's bodies, having brought in a towel sometime earlier. Daqi deliberately put his arm around Yijing and said, "Little girl, have you had your fill?" Yijing nodded repeatedly, saying, "Enough, enough, brother, stop..." Daqi nodded, then leaned close to Meiting's smooth back and whispered in her ear, "You're getting more and more seductive, but I love it! The seductive you are, the prettier you are, and the more seductive you are, the more I like it." Meiting said sweetly, "You like me seductive, so I'll become more and more seductive for you. Because you're not only my first love, but also my only man and master!" Hearing this, Daqi kissed her neck with great joy. Meiting continued, "Daqi, my master, do you really not mind my past marriage to someone from Singapore? And Ding Jian..." Hearing this, Daqi became a little angry and swung his hand to slap Meiting's shapely buttocks. He used a little force, causing Meiting to scream. Yijing looked at Daqi and Meiting with bewilderment. Daqi slapped her as he spoke, "So much time has passed, what are you still saying? Do you think I'm that petty? Remember, I never hit women, especially not you. But if you ever dare to bring up this painful experience again, I will punish you severely! Got it?" Daqi finally slapped Meiting's snowy buttocks again, and she screamed once more; her bottom was now bright red. Meiting said tearfully, "Qi, it's because I feel guilty, so... I feel like I've let you down... Now you're so good to me, not blaming me at all. Hitting me makes me feel better!" Daqi felt sorry for Meiting and said softly, "I beg you, please don't bring up your past sad things anymore. Isn't this like cutting my heart with a knife? I know I shouldn't hit you..." Meiting shook her head and said, "I know your pain. Don't worry, I'm happy that you hit me today. If you're not satisfied, hit me again, I'm happy too." Daqi said, "What's wrong with you? If you bring up these things again, I'll beat your buttocks until they're bruised. Do you understand?" Meiting immediately said, "Yes, Daqi, my master. I will never dare to bring up my past sad things again!" Daqi turned to Yijing and said, "Jing'er, tell me the truth, why did Meiting bring up these things today?" Daqi seemed to have a premonition that the women in the family were having a fight. Yi Jing said softly, "A couple of days ago, Sister Wen's mother and Sister Mei Ting had a fight... She said, 'You've been married to several men, how dare you marry Da Qi...'" Da Qi guessed correctly; it turned out his mother-in-law and Mei Ting had a fight. Upon hearing this, Da Qi flew into a rage and said, "Are you all dead? Nobody spoke up for Mei Ting?" Yi Jing looked at Da Qi in shock and said, "Yes, Sister Wen scolded her mother, 'Mom, watch your words! This isn't our peaceful home, how can you talk like that?' Sister Wen got angry and even cried. Because her mother wouldn't admit defeat." Da Qi knew he had frightened Yi Jing, so he quickly said softly, "Jing'er, I'm not angry at you. Tell me quickly, why did Mei Ting fight with my mother-in-law?" Yi Jing said, "This... you should let Sister Mei Ting tell you herself." Da Qi helped Mei Ting up; she was crying. He could only wipe away her tears and say, "Sweetie, tell me, tell me quickly." Mei Ting cried even harder, knowing that his first love had been wronged. He said, "Don't cry, I shouldn't have hit you, I shouldn't have hit you." Meiting cried, "I don't blame you, I really don't blame you. I hate myself for taking the wrong path back then, otherwise I wouldn't be laughed at by everyone." Daqi said, "I told you not to talk about the past, but you still did." Meiting immediately stopped crying, and she whispered, "Yes, yes, I won't dare to do it again..." Daqi said, "Tell me what happened quickly?" Meiting said, "It was a diamond necklace that Ding Jian gave me that caused the trouble. I originally planned to give it to Wenmei. Since it was given to me by Ding Jian, I didn't feel any point wearing it, and it would be a pity to throw it away, after all, it cost a lot of money. So, I thought of giving it to Wenmei. But, as soon as her mother saw it, she said she liked it and insisted that I give it to her. I said, 'Auntie, how about I buy you another one?' But she insisted that I give her the necklace immediately, and I was a little unwilling. She asked me where the necklace came from, and I said it was given to me by Ding Jian, and I didn't expect her to say those things."
Daqi asked Yijing, "Jing'er, is it true?" Yijing bit her lip and nodded. Daqi said, "I was planning to come home and be happy, but this happened." At this moment, Qiwen also entered the study. She saw that Daqi, Meiting, and Yijing were all naked and was about to leave.
Chapter 23: Corporal Punishment of Mother-in-Law
Daqi said, "Wen'er, don't go." Meiting and Yijing immediately helped Daqi put on his clothes, then quickly dressed themselves. Qiwen said, "I came to find Meiting. I came to apologize to her, on behalf of my mother..." Daqi knew Qiwen's predicament. He pulled her over and made her sit beside him, both of them sitting on the edge of the bed. Daqi asked her, "Why did you get up so early?" Qiwen said, "I heard you getting angry, so I came down to check." Daqi asked, "Where's your mother?" Qiwen said, "She's still sleeping. I'll wake her up for you." Daqi said, "Never mind, never mind, let her sleep." At this moment, Qianru and Chunxiao, Ye Huan and Zheng Jie, and Qiwen's cousin Lijie all entered the study. Everyone had heard Daqi's voice, because when he got angry, everyone probably heard it. Qianru said, "Don't get angry, don't get angry." Qiwen said, "If you want to blame someone, blame me. I spoil my mom too much..." Daqi shook his head. At this moment, Lijie said, "Master, if you want to blame someone, blame my aunt. She has no sense of propriety when she speaks. Cousin Wen has already talked to her, but she still throws a tantrum."
Daqi understood: Qiwen was the one who called the shots in this family, but Qiwen was terrified of her mother, making the situation difficult. Daqi said, "It's alright, it's alright, I'll talk to my mother-in-law myself. Why are you all up so early? Go back to sleep." Chunxiao said, "We'll go to the coffee shop later; we have nothing else to do." Just then, the two nannies returned, carrying a lot of breakfast, soy milk, milk, and other things. One nanny was called Aunt Zhang, and the other Aunt Li; both were full-time nannies, around 45 years old. Daqi was very satisfied with them because they were careful and cooked well. Yijing rarely cooked anymore; the two nannies did most of the cooking. Yijing said, "Let's eat first." So, everyone came to the table to eat. Just then, their mother returned, and everyone woke up. Mu Ping, their mother-in-law, Ma'er, Yulou, Pingjia, Suqin, and Jia Ran and her daughter were all awake. Everyone was surprised that Daqi had come home so early. Daqi hugged, kissed, and greeted each of his wives. It had been a long time since he'd had breakfast with them. His mother-in-law also hugged him with a smile, playfully saying, "My dear, why are you up so early?" Daqi whispered in her ear, "I'll settle accounts with you later, let's eat first." His mother-in-law seemed stunned, staring blankly at Daqi, speechless. She noticed Meiting sitting to Daqi's right, her eyes red and swollen. Just then, his mother returned, and everyone greeted her. His mother exclaimed in surprise, "Son, why are you home so early?" Daqi replied, "I came home to see Mom. Dinner's ready. Where are my three children?" The two nannies said, "The young master and the two young ladies are sleeping." Daqi said, "Aunt Zhang, Aunt Li, thank you for your hard work, let's eat together!" The two women smiled and sat down. Daqi's family had a tradition that the master must eat with the hired servants or nannies. This is a rule the Tong family has upheld since the Qing Dynasty—never treating servants or nannies as inferiors; this was even written into the ancestral precepts by Daqi's great-grandfather. The atmosphere at dinner today was a bit off. Qiwen was sitting to Daqi's left, Meiting, with red and swollen eyes, was sitting to Daqi's right, and his mother-in-law was sitting opposite him. Everyone was gathered around a large table. His mother-in-law glanced guiltily at Daqi and then at Meiting. Everyone seemed to be watching Daqi's expression; clearly, he was gloomy. But everyone knew it was definitely related to the argument between his mother-in-law and Meiting. Xiao Li smiled and said to everyone, "What's wrong today? Everyone's stopped joking! Come on, come on, Sister Chunxiao, tell us a joke!" Her mother-in-law immediately chimed in, "Yes, yes, yes, Qianru can do one too." The two beautiful young women, both from government backgrounds, looked at Da Qi and smiled, "Everyone, let's eat first, let's eat first." Seeing that Da Qi had finished his soy milk, his mother-in-law quickly poured him some. As she handed it to him, she said, "Good son-in-law, drink more." His mother-in-law often called Da Qi "son-in-law," and sometimes "master," but Da Qi didn't really care; after all, she was an elder, the mother of his first wife. Da Qi smiled and said, "Mom, you eat more too." His mother-in-law was overjoyed because Da Qi had smiled and even told her to eat more. She happily replied, "Okay, okay, I'll eat more." She immediately returned to her seat and started eating. Everyone thought everything was fine and resumed their cheerful conversation. Xiao Li then told everyone a series of interesting stories that had recently happened in Rongzhou City. Only Qiwen ate her meal quietly, glancing at Daqi every now and then, as did Meiting. These two beauties knew Daqi best. They knew he wouldn't let it go so easily—he would definitely teach his mother-in-law a lesson. As for how exactly, neither of them was sure. Seeing that Meiting and Qiwen had finished their soy milk, Daqi offered to serve them some, telling them to eat more. Qiwen smiled and nodded, as did Meiting. Qiwen knew that Daqi not only loved her the most but also cared for her the most. But she also knew that Meiting had always been Daqi's darling, and that her marriage to someone in Singapore had always been a sore spot for him, though he hadn't shown it. Now, her mother was using this experience to provoke Meiting, which was tantamount to provoking Daqi. Qiwen thought to herself: "Mom, how can you be so insensible? You're an adult, how can you talk like that? Are you trying to drive Daqi crazy?" Oh dear, what should I do? She's still my own mother, no matter what. Even if she made a huge mistake, as her daughter, I still have to protect her!
After everyone finished eating, Daqi said to them, "Let's not go to the coffee shop today. I have something to tell you all later." All the wives said, "Okay, we'll listen to you." At this moment, Yulou pulled Daqi aside and whispered, "Honey, Qiwen's mother was wrong, but Qiwen works so hard for the family, we should give her some face. I think we should just let it go." Daqi smiled and said, "Lou'er, I'll know what I'm doing. Don't worry about it. I know my mother-in-law's personality. If I'm not around, she might cause a huge scene at home one day." Qiwen then went to Meiting for help: "Sister Ting, please help me persuade Daqi. You know him; he'll definitely want to talk to my mother..." Meiting nodded at Qiwen's expression and said, "I'll go talk to him." Everyone knew that something was definitely going to happen today, and it was definitely Daqi who had to deal with his mother-in-law's situation. Meiting walked to Daqi's side and whispered, "Daqi, just pretend Wen'er's mother didn't say anything..."

"Forget it, never mind..." Daqi hugged her and said, "Ting, don't worry about this." Meiting knew she couldn't stop him now; once Daqi made up his mind, no one could change it. Qiwen looked helplessly at her mother. Only then did her mother-in-law realize that something was about to happen, because everyone was sitting in the living room today and none of them had gone to the coffee shop. Actually, her mother-in-law had heard Daqi's angry words that morning, but she thought that her son-in-law had smiled at her just now, so everything should be fine. She regretted her careless words... Daqi said to everyone, "It's been a long time since we had a family meeting, let's have one today. Everyone, please sit down. Aunt Zhang, please brew a pot of West Lake Longjing tea for everyone." Aunt Zhang smiled and said, "Okay, Mr. Tong." Aunt Zhang went to make tea, while Aunt Li took the children. Before starting the meeting, Daqi asked Yijing to help her mother to her room to watch TV. He didn't want his mother to see him yelling at his mother-in-law. After settling her mother in, Yijing returned to the living room to join the meeting.
Daqi and Qiwen sat at the head of the table in the living room, while the other beauties sat on the long sofa in the lower section. Daqi's villa was enormous. He had bought it because he had so many wives. It was a three-story Spanish-style villa with thirty or forty rooms, nearly twenty of which were occupied by one wife each. It also had a gym, study, a large living room, a small living room, a dining room, and so on—it was like a small kingdom. Daqi's villa was considered very nice by the Rongjiang River, with a swimming pool, a front garden, a back garden, and a badminton court. Furthermore, Qiwen had bought Daqi several cars, including SUVs and limousines; Daqi's family owned nearly ten vehicles. Their seaside villa by Longhai Lake had a similar layout, but it was currently unoccupied and locked up.
Daqi said, "Ting, come here." Meiting walked to his side and was held on his lap. Daqi said, "I'm having a meeting with everyone today, so you all know what happened at home. Li'er, Jing'er, you two move a table to the middle." Daqi put his arm around Meiting, and everyone watched as Xiao Li and Yijing moved the table. After the table was moved, everyone sat down again. Daqi said, "Mom, what do you think you're going to do?" The mother-in-law, a little frightened, said, "I...I...I apologize to Meiting." After saying that, she stood up and said to Meiting, "Meiting, I was wrong the other day, please forgive me!" Meiting said, "Auntie, it's okay, it's okay..." But Daqi said, "Mom, you lie down on the table yourself." Everyone understood immediately; there was bound to be a "show" to watch, and they all looked at the mother-in-law curiously. Qiwen looked helpless and dared not speak. Upon hearing Daqi speak, the mother-in-law immediately walked tremblingly to the table in the center of the living room and said, "Son-in-law... I... I was wrong..." Daqi shouted sternly, "You lie face down on the table, do you hear me?" The mother-in-law immediately replied, "Yes, son-in-law, master. I... I'll do it now..." She then obediently lay her upper body face down on the table, her plump, high buttocks protruding. Daqi said, "Li'er, are the doors closed properly?" Xiao Li immediately replied, "Yes, yes." Daqi's face was grim. He said, "Ma'er, Lou'er, you two take off my mother-in-law's pants." The two women hesitated for a moment, then shook their heads helplessly and stepped forward, ignoring the mother-in-law's slight protests, and began to pull off her pants. Daqi said, "Mom, if you dare to move again, you'll see what happens!" "The mother-in-law immediately became obedient, saying, 'Yes, yes, yes. Son-in-law, I won't move, I won't move.' As soon as the mother-in-law became obedient, Yulou and Ma'er easily stripped her lower body naked, leaving her upper body clothes on. Because Daqi only allowed them to remove her lower body. Everyone watched as the mother-in-law's snowy buttocks trembled. Jia Ran wanted to say something, but seeing Daqi's expression, she swallowed her words. Xiao Man asked Jia Ran in surprise in a soft voice, 'Mom, what is the master doing?' Jia Ran whispered, 'Wen'er's mother talked nonsense and angered the master. He never hits people, but it seems that this time he really has to use family discipline.' The mother-in-law also anticipated that her buttocks would suffer, and actually begged Daqi, 'Son-in-law, master, spare me, spare me. Meiting, please say something for me. Wen'er, Wen'er, don't watch your mother suffer.'" "Her mother-in-law looked pitiful, as if she had been wronged. However, Qiwen kept her head down and didn't say anything. Meiting said, 'Daqi...' Daqi gestured with his hand, and Meiting knew it was useless to say anything more, so she didn't dare to speak. Daqi said, 'Words can be dangerous. You're an adult, yet you don't know your place and say that Meiting has been married several times. Do you even respect me? Wen'er, bring me that rattan cane!' Qiwen looked at Daqi helplessly, and Daqi said, 'Go get it!' Qiwen had no choice but to go to the front garden and get a rattan cane. As she handed it to Daqi, she said, 'Let me take the punishment for my mother...' Daqi said, 'You sit down next to me!' Qiwen sat down next to Daqi with tears in her eyes. She knew her mother was wrong and didn't dare to say anything more."
Daqi whispered to Meiting, "Watch how I deal with her today. I'll stand up for you." With that, he left Meiting and went to his mother-in-law. Ma'er and Yulou had already returned to their seats to watch the "show." Daqi waved the rattan cane in front of his mother-in-law and gently stroked her shapely buttocks; the skin was delicate and incredibly sexy. Daqi said, "Are you itching for a beating?" His mother-in-law was already pale with fright. She said, "Son-in-law, I... I know I was wrong. Even if you beat me to death, I'll never dare to say that again." Daqi raised the rattan cane and lashed it across his mother-in-law Wenhua's snowy buttocks. It wasn't very hard, but it still made her scream "Ah!" Her face contorted, and her buttocks jerked. Everyone's hearts skipped a beat: My God, the master really hit her! He'd never been so angry before!
The mother-in-law pleaded, "Master, my darling, I beg you, it hurts so much, please, please don't!" Daqi said, "You can go back to Ping'an County, but never come back to this house. I promise I won't hit you again!" The mother-in-law cried, "No, no, no, how could I bear to do that to you? You and Wen'er are the people I love most! I know I said the wrong thing. I'll never dare to do it again." Daqi raised the rattan cane and struck her again. "Ah!" the mother-in-law cried out sharply, this time harder than the previous blow, leaving a faint red mark on her plump, shapely buttocks. Actually, Tong Daqi was also reluctant to hit such a delicate and beautiful young woman as his mother-in-law. Not only was she beautiful, sexy, and mature, but more importantly, she was incredibly considerate of him. Whatever he asked her to do, she would do it. In daily life, she also took great care of Daqi, constantly teaching Qiwen to be gentle, obedient, and considerate. It was thanks to her mother-in-law's guidance that Qiwen became much more obedient than before, making Daqi love and cherish her more and more. Of course, Daqi loved Qiwen and her daughter deeply. He felt that his mother-in-law was in no way inferior to the women around him, whether in appearance or temperament. As for her inherent charm and submissiveness, none of his wives could match her.
Daqi often says to his mother-in-law, "Mom, you are my precious darling!" His mother-in-law often replies, "Son-in-law, master, I am your precious darling..."
Daqi knew perfectly well that his flirtatious mother-in-law's adoration for him ran deep, more so than any of his wives—at least on the surface. Whatever he said, whatever his request, she would do. While Qianru, Chunxiao, Qiwen, and Xiaoli would occasionally offer suggestions, his mother-in-law offered none; she accepted everything without question—resolutely and thoroughly implementing Daqi's intentions as the "center." Daqi loved his mother-in-law dearly, and generally had to indulge her, pamper her, and go along with her wishes. In fact, he spoiled her so much that she became arrogant and dared to talk about Meiting's less-than-honorable past. Even if Meiting had made many mistakes, she was still Daqi's first love. When he and Meiting were together, his mother-in-law's precious daughter, Qiwen, had no connection to him whatsoever, let alone the relationship between Daqi and his mother-in-law herself.
Seeing Meiting's red and swollen eyes from crying, Daqi felt heartbroken. That's why he decided to give her a little punishment. If she didn't want to be punished, he would let her go! But how could his mother-in-law bear to leave Daqi, the god in her heart!
The mother-in-law thought to herself: Son-in-law, my master, my God! Even if you beat my backside raw, I won't leave. I belong to you for life, and I never want to leave you!
Looking at the red mark on his mother-in-law's fair buttocks, Daqi felt a pang of sympathy for her. However, he refused to forgive her verbally, saying, "You're like an emperor at home; no one dares to do anything to you. But you must learn to respect yourself! Understand?" His mother-in-law nodded repeatedly, saying, "I understand, I know. I will definitely treat everyone kindly and respectfully from now on!" Qiwen then approached Daqi and said, "Master, husband, I beg you, please forgive my mother!" Upon seeing Qiwen's words, everyone stood up to plead for their mother-in-law. Actually, Daqi was also looking for a way to save face. Seeing everyone siding with his mother-in-law, he said, "Remember this: any woman who marries me, Tong Daqi, no matter what she did in the past, as long as she behaves well as my wife now, it's all fine. 'A hero's origins are irrelevant.' Anyone who uses their past experiences to mock others will not be forgiven! I don't like hitting women, but anyone who doesn't know their place in the future will be punished with this cane. If anyone can't stand my temper, or the temper of this family, they can leave, and I'll give them a lot of money to go!" Everyone said, "We understand, Master! We will never make this mistake again." Especially those women who had been married or had been with men before, such as Jia Ran, Qian Ru, Chun Xiao, Ma Er Lan Yun, Yu Lou, and even Mei Ting, Su Qin, Xiao Li, Ping Jia, and Zheng Jie, all looked gratefully at their "Emperor." Su Qin said, "My dear, alright, alright, calm down, calm down!" She took the cane from Daqi's hand. Ye Huan and Zheng Jie quickly helped their mother-in-law put on her pants, while Li Jie busied herself wiping away her aunt's tears. Daqi pulled Qiwen aside and whispered, "Wen'er, don't blame me..." Qiwen smiled and shook her head, saying, "My mom has been a bit out of line lately, and I can't control her..." Daqi put his left arm around Qiwen and his right arm around Meiting, saying, "It's good that you understand." Muping looked at Daqi with a smile, and Daqi winked and smiled at her.
This verbal sparring should be considered over now. All the wives are home with Daqi today. Daqi finally said to his mother-in-law, "If you wanted a diamond necklace, just tell me. Why did you have to have the one Meiting gave to Wen'er?" His mother-in-law said, "You're so unfair." Daqi asked her, "How am I unfair?" His mother-in-law said with a wronged look, "The year before last, when you and Qiwen got married, everyone wore bridesmaid dresses, and you gave everyone a diamond necklace, except me. Do you think that's fair?" Daqi then remembered that there seemed to be such a thing. But all the necklaces were ordered by Qiwen; Daqi hadn't even asked. It turned out that Qiwen hadn't ordered one for her mother, so his mother-in-law was holding a grudge. Daqi said, "If you didn't have it, just tell me. I wouldn't be stingy with money on you. You scolded Meiting for that reason..." His mother-in-law immediately said, "You rascal, I won't do that again. You... don't worry, it won't happen again." Qiwen, who was standing nearby, said, "Mom, I thought you didn't care about the necklace. Why didn't you say so? Sigh!" Daqi said to Qiwen, "I want to go shopping with you this afternoon. Why don't you bring your mom?" Qiwen said, "Why don't we bring everyone? It's been so long since we've gone shopping together." Daqi knew what Qiwen meant, and he said softly, "I really want to go shopping with you alone." Qiwen said, "Then let's go after lunch. We'll buy some things for all the ladies." Daqi nodded gratefully. He was very grateful to Qiwen; she always thought of everyone. Qiwen said, "Why don't we let Meiting come with us?" Daqi nodded and said, "Okay, whatever you say."
Daqi understood Qiwen's thoughts, so she deliberately let Meiting and her mother-in-law spend some time together to eliminate the estrangement between them.
In the morning, Daqi spent time at home playing with his three children. Looking at their adorable, innocent faces, he was filled with emotion. Daqi thought to himself: "The Creator is truly amazing; I've actually become a father of three!" Xiaoqi looks a bit like Daqi, but is clearly much more handsome, undoubtedly inheriting the good looks of the stunningly beautiful Qiwen. Meanwhile, his wives were at home, some playing mahjong, some playing badminton, and some watching TV; everyone was getting along harmoniously.
Aside from taking care of the children, Daqi was either playing mahjong with one wife or badminton with another, or watching TV with his mother-in-law and Meiting. After all, he had spanked them both that morning, and he needed to appease them. Meiting was clearly grateful to Daqi for standing up for her, while his mother-in-law was trying to please him because he had forgiven her. Daqi said softly to them, "Mom, Meiting, you're both my women. You should get along well and stop arguing." Meiting nodded, and his mother-in-law smiled in agreement.
Xiao Li instructed the two nannies to prepare a more lavish lunch, and she chatted with Da Qi for a while. Xiao Li asked, "Honey, why isn't Xiao Ling back?" Da Qi replied, "Let her stay there and read some books. I took them out all day yesterday, so she should come home today. It's a rare weekend, so she should stay home and spend time with you." Xiao Li said softly, "We girls who study broadcasting are quite open-minded. If you take Xiao Ling as your wife, other girls might follow suit. Honey, listen to me, take as many as you can. Don't worry, just pick the pretty ones." Da Qi smiled and said, "Li'er, you're so thoughtful. You know I have this inclination." Xiao Li laughed, "Everyone knows you're a womanizer. I understand what those young girls studying broadcasting and art are thinking. Don't worry, as long as you treat her well, she'll definitely listen to you." Da Qi said, "Are they all as obedient as you?" "So beautiful!" Xiao Li laughed. "I'm old, I can't compare to the younger girls." Da Qi hugged her and kissed her. "How can you be old? You're only a little older than me. I don't even age, so what are you old for? You're the most beautiful female host." Xiao Li said, "Don't mention host or not, I'm your little woman now." Da Qi laughed. "Okay, okay, okay. Let's not talk about it, let's not talk about it, my good wife. If you really became a host, I'd definitely die of depression. I like having you by my side!" Xiao Li smiled slightly. "Let me tell you, you have to take care of your health, don't go too far with those pretty young girls. You have so many women at home, save your energy!" Da Qi laughed. "I know, I know!" He knew Xiao Li wasn't forbidding him from going out and having fun, she was worried about his health.
Daqi enjoyed his lunch immensely. After lunch, Qiwen asked everyone, "Is there anything you want to buy? I'll bring it back for you." The women then told Qiwen what they wanted to buy, which she wrote down on a piece of paper. Afterward, Daqi drove Qiwen, Meiting, and his mother-in-law to the bustling downtown area of Rongzhou. The four of them began a shopping spree, buying everyday items, snacks, and cosmetics that the wives wanted. Daqi specially took his mother-in-law to a jewelry store. He whispered to her, "Mom, let's pick out a diamond necklace; it's a gift for you." His mother-in-law was so moved that she kissed Daqi on the street, saying, "Son-in-law, you're so good to your mother." Meiting and Qiwen watched this scene with smiles.
Now everyone in the family knows that my mother-in-law is a remarkable woman.
------------
Section Reading 222
Daqi was her man, her husband, her emperor. Everyone knew that Daqi completely dominated his mother-in-law. Although she was usually arrogant, domineering, and even unreasonable, she was gentle, considerate, and reasonable in front of her master, Daqi. This was the power of love. Qiwen used to find it hard to accept her mother becoming her husband's woman, but now she did. Since being with Daqi, her mother-in-law had become much younger, more beautiful, and more energetic, and was happy every day. Everyone knew that Daqi doted on his mother-in-law, and since she was Qiwen's mother, they all indulged her.
When my mother-in-law put on the diamond necklace, the salesperson exclaimed sincerely, "Madam, you are so beautiful!" My mother-in-law, who was young, mature, and exceptionally beautiful, immediately said to Daqi in a coquettish tone, "Honey, let's buy this one." Daqi looked at his mother-in-law's fair and slender neck wearing the diamond necklace and also found it exceptionally sexy, so he nodded and took out his credit card to pay. His mother-in-law said softly to Daqi, "You're so good to me! Your father-in-law used to give me a cheap gold necklace, which cost less than a tenth of what you have." Daqi said softly, "Mom, back then, a gold necklace was the best gift. It wasn't easy for Dad to give you one." His mother-in-law said, "You don't know how stingy that miser was. Later, when I had money, I asked him to give me a diamond necklace, but he said, 'We've been married for so many years, you're not young anymore, why would you wear a diamond necklace?' Ugh, it made me so angry, he has no sense of romance at all. How could anyone be as considerate as you?" Daqi smiled and said, "Then be considerate of me, be my good woman." His mother-in-law said coquettishly, "Of course I'm good. Even if you beat me to death this morning, I wouldn't leave you. How could I bear to part with you?" Daqi smiled, sometimes holding Qiwen's arm and looking around, sometimes holding Meiting's shoulder and looking around, and sometimes letting his mother-in-law link arms with him and wander around aimlessly. However, most people wouldn't recognize the mother-in-law as Daqi's mother-in-law; they would assume she was one of Daqi's women because she was indeed young, beautiful, and had a very good temperament. Qiwen and Meiting, on the other hand, seemed like the mother-in-law's younger sisters, Daqi's two sisters-in-law.
Daqi hadn't planned to bring his mother-in-law and Meiting out shopping if it weren't for their argument. He originally intended to only bring Qiwen. Seeing that they'd bought enough, he said to Qiwen, "Honey, how about I take you to the fashion street on Jiefang Road to get your hair done?" Qiwen smiled slightly and said, "What's wrong with you today? You seem to be treating me differently." Daqi laughed, "Just a little romance between an old married couple." Qiwen said, "Since you brought me out this time, you have to announce when we get home that you're bringing other girlfriends next time. You're the head of the household, you have to treat everyone the same. I know you favor me a little, but don't make it too obvious." Daqi smiled and nodded. He thought to himself: Wen'er is such a sensible woman, she truly deserves to be my "Empress"! Daqi then said to Meiting and his mother-in-law, "I'll take you both to get your hair done." All three beauties smiled and nodded enthusiastically.
Daqi drove the three beauties to a large hair salon on Fashion Street. This salon, named "Awei Hair Design Studio," was the most famous in Rongzhou, frequently styling hair for celebrities. Whenever Hong Kong, Taiwan, or Western stars held concerts in Rongzhou, they would generally choose this salon for their hair. The four of them were warmly greeted by the staff as soon as they entered.
24th Cheating Paper
A male and female server warmly greeted Daqi and his group of three. They bowed and said, "Welcome! Please have a seat." Daqi, with Qiwen and Meiting by his side and his mother-in-law walking ahead, sat down on the sofa in the hair salon. Immediately, someone brought in four glasses of water. The female server smiled and asked, "Are you here for a haircut or a styling session?" Daqi laughed, "If you're doing it for these three beauties, I'll just give you a newspaper." The server smiled, "Alright, please come with me, ladies." Actually, when the four of them entered the hair salon, many hairdressers and customers stared at Qiwen, Meiting, and his mother-in-law. The three of them were incredibly beautiful, overshadowing the other young women and women getting their hair done. Many men who had accompanied their wives or girlfriends also stared wide-eyed at Qiwen and Meiting, making their girlfriends or partners quite uncomfortable.
Daqi had long since grown indifferent to these stares. Ever since he made Muping his girlfriend, he'd endured these looks every single day—men were jealous, women were surprised. Any man who went out with a beautiful woman would receive this treatment; Daqi was used to it. He was nonchalant, ignoring the other men and women, and simply sat there reading his newspaper. Meanwhile, Qiwen, Meiting, and his mother-in-law were being advised by a professional hairdresser on what hairstyles and cuts to get. The three women kept asking the hairdresser questions and consultations, and ultimately, all three decided to get their hair done. This put Daqi in a difficult position, but he didn't care at all. He focused on his newspaper, then a fashion magazine, then watched TV, and afterwards, a male waiter, having nothing else to do, chatted with him.
Waiter: "Sir, why don't you get your hair done?"
Daqi laughed and said, "My wife can do it, but I'm a man, so forget it."
Waiter: "These days, it's important for men to have shiny hair too. Why not get one? It'll make your woman say you look even more handsome and charming!"
Daqi: "Look at you, you know how to talk. I never do that. Never mind, women can do it."
The waiter knew that Daqi was a "cow"—hard to persuade. But he still chatted with him anyway.
Waiter: "Brother, the three beauties you brought are really gorgeous!"
Daqi smiled and nodded. The waiter said, "To be honest, in our line of work, we see a lot of beautiful women coming in to get their hair done every day. This is the first time I've ever seen three such beautiful women."
Da Qi laughed and said, "You flatter me, you flatter me. Young man, where are you from? What do you do in this shop?"
The waiter said, "I'm from Shanxi. I usually wash customers' hair, and when I have nothing else to do, I chat with them."
Daqi: "No wonder you're so good at talking, you're a professional chatterbox!"
Waiter: "Look at what you're saying, sir. Daqi, you can bring your girlfriend to our shop often in the future. Our hairdressers are the best in all of Rongzhou."
Daqi: "I've heard of your shop, so I brought three women here to check it out."
Waiter: "Yes, yes, yes. You are a discerning man, sir. I admire you!"
Daqi chatted with the waitress for quite a while before the three women finally finished their haircuts. Looking at them, Daqi said, "Not bad, not bad, the hairdressers here are really good!" He felt the hairstyles perfectly complemented their head shapes, making them even more stunning than their already beautiful appearances. Daqi happily paid for the haircuts with his credit card. Then, he drove the three women home.
Back home, the other wives looked at Qiwen, Meiting, and their mother in surprise. Qiwen said, "Ladies, don't worry, my husband said he'll take you all to get your hair done one by one..." The beauties were overjoyed and clamored for Daqi to take them too. Daqi laughed, "Don't worry, don't worry, everyone will be there, not one will be missing." Women are naturally fond of beauty, and they'll be very happy if their men accompany them to get their hair done.
After dinner, Daqi invited Qianru to Chunxiao's room, intending to spend the night with both of them. It had been a long time since he'd been intimate with them, and since they were together, they naturally wanted to indulge in their love and passion. The two young women were very skilled in their art, constantly responding to his advances with gentle pleasures, allowing Tong Daqi to fully enjoy this blissful experience. After their passionate encounter, Daqi, standing in the middle, with one on each side, asked, "Are you used to this kind of life now? You're both no longer in the office."
Qianru: "My dear, I'm quite used to it. There's no fighting or scheming here, it's all very relaxed. At least I'm quite happy working at the coffee shop. My whole family works very easily and enjoyably every day."
Chunxiao: "Yeah, when I worked at the provincial bureau, I didn't go to work all day. It wasn't as fun as it is now."
Daqi said, "It's up to you. If you don't want to open a shop, then don't. I don't even know what I'll do after graduating from university."
Qianru: "Yes, you don't lack money, and you don't like to spend money extravagantly. You just don't know what to do with it."
Chunxiao: "Why don't you just read some books and do some academic research? Don't you really like this field?"
Daqi said, "Maybe, I'll think about it after I finish college. I don't know why, but I feel like college isn't what I imagined. Something just feels off."
Chunxiao: "What happened?" Daqi then told her about Old Zhong spending all his time alone in the library's special collections room. Qianru said, "Actually, a university is also a society, and university teachers are just ordinary members of society. Don't even mention now, even when I was in university, it was like that. Many teachers are just seeking fame and fortune; to put it bluntly, they want to 'be a prostitute and also erect a monument to chastity.' People like Old Zhong are too few, so he'd rather guard the books than interact with people."
Qianru said, "Qianru and I graduated from the same university, and what she said is absolutely true. Of course, in our time, university graduates were guaranteed jobs by the state, so the students' studies and the teachers' teaching were less utilitarian."
