The heartfelt voice moved Dong Jiao deeply. After signing the documents, she shed tears of gratitude. Yet—was it only gratitude? Once the matter was settled, Gao Liang turned to Dong Jiao and said, "All these assets are under your name. Remember to manage them well! I'm leaving now!" With that, he prepared to depart. Dong Jiao stood at the doorway, pleading with him, "Husband! Don't leave me! Jiao'er needs you!" She then gently leaned forward and pressed her lips against Gao Liang's, initiating a kiss. It had been a long time since Gao Liang had kissed Dong Jiao. Today, Dong Jiao wore a particularly seductive qipao—specifically, a lotus-style qipao with an open front, revealing her graceful, pale legs, which left Gao Liang in awe. Dong Jiao had grown more beautiful each day, yet Gao Liang's long-suppressed emotions remained restrained. He didn't want to force her. "Husband! Are you no longer in love with me?" Dong Jiao noticed that Gao Liang hadn't embraced or kissed her passionately. "Jiao Jiao! My husband doesn't want to pressure you!" Gao Liang spoke honestly. "No! My husband! Please don't say that! In Jiao'er's heart, you've always been her first and last man! Jiao'er truly feels guilty—she's made my husband worry so much. He's been so kind and attentive to her, yet she hasn't been able to support him or bring him happiness. Jiao'er feels deeply ashamed to be his wife!" Dong Jiao said, genuinely looking remorseful. Gao Liang gently held her oval, delicate face in his hands, gazing into her eyes and saying, "Dong Jiao! I, Gao Liang, love you deeply. But I can't force you. You've been feeling unfulfilled in this peaceful, off-world paradise—this has truly touched my heart. This time, no matter what it takes, I will take good care of you. Even if it means making sacrifices, I'm willing to do so!" "My husband! I truly know you care about me!" Dong Jiao replied, then gently began to stroke the strong, well-developed chest of Gao Liang. Dong Jiao gently massaged Guangliang's body with her delicate hands, bringing him a deep sense of comfort. "Husband! Make love to me now! It's been such a long time since you've asked me to! I really need you!" After saying this, Dong Jiao closed her eyes, waiting for Guangliang to passionately kiss and embrace her. But Guangliang held back—neither kissing her nor making any move to initiate intimacy. "Take care! I'm leaving!" With those words, he truly walked away. Dong Jiao opened her eyes to find Guangliang gone. Tears streamed down her face. "Husband! It was all my fault before—I was so impetuous! I've hurt you. I know you never force anyone, but this time, truly, truly, I want to be your happy wife!" After Guangliang left, Dong Jiao devoted all her energy to the project of "Wishing to Become a God Commercial Center." Her parents were also delighted and offered their support. Guangliang departed from Hanhai City and journeyed directly toward a utopian haven in outer space—the second Eden. Ying'er lived in the Yongle Palace. With a gentle smile, she rocked her child, Gongxing, and told him stories. Gongxing was happy and content, learning to speak in sweet, tender sounds before his mother. It was a beautiful scene of mother and child. Gao Liang arrived on a fiery Qilin and witnessed this touching moment. Ying'er did not notice Gao Liang's arrival; instead, she remained by the cradle, gazing at the sun descending toward the mountain. "Mistress of the Supreme Deity! The meals are ready—please dine with us!" a female servant said. "Understood! Place them here—go on now!" Ying'er replied, and the servant hurried away. Ying'er did not eat herself, but simply arranged her bowls and chopsticks. Gao Liang noticed this outside and saw that two chopsticks had been placed—clearly, Ying'er had reserved them for herself. As Ying'er was still not eating, Gao Liang quietly approached and said to her, "Ying'er! I've returned!" Seeing her husband arrive, Ying'er was delighted. Overjoyed, she said, "Husband, that's wonderful! Let's have dinner together!" Immediately, Ying'er served the meal herself and placed it in Gaoqing's hands. Gaoqing then carefully passed her dishes, which deeply moved her. "Wife! These days, I've been so happy—thank you for taking care of me. Please take good care of yourself!" "Husband! Don't worry! I'm fine. Qing is doing great—he's so well-behaved. Our son is truly wonderful! He can now call people by name!" Ying'er said, laughing happily. Gaoqing replied, "Yes, that's wonderful—he can call people!" "Huh! Husband, why have you brought so many things back? There are so many!" Ying'er noticed that several items were arranged neatly on the table beside her. Upon closer inspection, wow—there were all premium infant formula brands. Ying'er was thrilled, gazing at the variety of formulas and said to Gaoqing, "You truly care and think of me! I love you!" With a soft "pffft," she kissed Gaoqing right on the face. Soon, Gao Liang and Ying'er began preparing milk together, which made Ying'er very happy. Seeing Gao Liang's joyful mood, Ying'er turned to him and said, "Husband, I love you! I'll always love you!" Gao Liang replied, "Ying'er! So do I!" "These days, not being with Ying'er, I've missed her so much!" Gao Liang was very open and honest in front of Ying'er, which made her feel delighted. Yet, her face still turned slightly red. Now, Gao Liang was carefully watching her, and Ying'er giggled, refusing to let him see her, instead rushing straight out. Outside, the countryside scenery was beautiful—on the lush green grass, flowers were blooming everywhere. Wow! All the plants and trees were flourishing, and Gao Liang was thrilled. "Come here! Come quickly! Come and chase me!" Ying'er called out, running forward briskly. Gao Liang hurried after her, shouting, "Ying'er! Wait for me! I'm going to catch up with you!" "Yet Ying'er suddenly transformed into a butterfly, dancing gracefully among the flower clusters. The butterfly formed from Ying'er was nearly indistinguishable from the colors of the flowers. Even the luminous gathering eyes, no matter how powerful, struggled to see clearly against the vibrant array of blossoms. 'Ying'er! Where are you? Where are you?' High-lit called out. 'Tch-tch-tch! Tch-tch-tch!' Ying'er's laughter floated through the air. 'Here! Here!' High-lit rushed forward in the direction of the sound, only to be crushed beneath a wave of blooming grass and flowers. Ying'er was nowhere to be found. High-lit thought of a plan—Ying'er always loved to hide from him. This time, he would pretend to be the one hiding. 'Oh! Oh!' Suddenly, High-lit cried out, claiming he had a severe stomachache, and clutched his abdomen tightly as if truly in pain. Ying'er grew concerned—what was wrong? Had her husband actually grown ill? Was it an act? Unlikely—she noticed that her husband's pain was growing worse, and he was rolling around in the flower beds, writhing in discomfort. No, I can't just let it go. As soon as Ying'er spoke, she materialized, growing to full human size. The moment she appeared before Gao Liang, he reached around from behind and caught her mid-air. "Ah! Huh! Mmm!" Ying'er was completely taken aback—she never expected her husband to do something so unexpected, and now she found herself caught off guard. Gao Liang pressed her down into the grass, their lips drawing closer and closer. Ying'er felt deeply embarrassed. She had assumed Gao Liang would kiss her, and with a sense of happiness, closed her eyes. But when she opened them again, she found Gao Liang merely smoking a cigar beside her. "Husband! Why aren't you kissing me? Why aren't you kissing me?" Gao Liang replied, "Ying'er! I'm sorry! I don't want to make anyone uncomfortable!" "Husband! I'm completely willing! Husband! No! Why do you not like me now? Why?" Ying'er asked. Gao Liang said, "Ying'er! Honestly! With all of you sisters—now I truly feel—" "Wait a minute! Are you like this with the other sisters too?" Ying'er asked her husband. "Yes!" Gao Liang's voice was low and steady. Ying'er sighed and said, "No! Come with me! If you really treat us this way, not only will I refuse—other sisters would too! Every woman needs a man who cares for her and shows her affection. If your husband truly doesn't love us, we'd feel utterly unfulfilled in life!" Gao Liang and Ying'er were open and honest, sharing many details—even some matters involving Dong Qiao. To Ying'er, Gao Liang was not just a husband, but also a close friend with whom she could talk about everything. Ying'er said, "Husband! No! You can't treat her this way! You're going to hurt Dong Qiao's heart!" "What should I do then?" Gao Liang asked. Ying'er replied, "Come with me! This time, I'll let the housemaid take care of me. I want you to take me to see the other sisters!"
