Chapter 724 - 303: Truth or Dare?
On the twenty-eighth of the twelfth lunar month, Li Yang and Jiang Banxia moved to the villa because they wouldn’t be allowed to go out afterward.
The two of them needed to eat, but Li Yang didn’t want to cook, and Jiang Banxia couldn’t.
The decision to move to the villa was made by Jiang Banxia; he could accept anything, even living at Jiang Yaoting’s place.
Li Yang had everything arranged; the supply boxes from the Capital City had all been delivered. He also asked Xiangnu before; she said she would return home before the year-end, and her supplies were sent to the Capital City as well.
Even though with their wealth, they likely didn’t lack those things, at least it could slightly ease the material hoarding.
In the previous life, that dog Wu Tianqi got stuck in Modu, and when he talked to Li Yang about the experience afterward, he nearly burst into tears.
Wu Tianqi wasn’t considered poor, though he wasn’t particularly wealthy in Modu either.
But he bought a zucchini for fifty bucks and would cut a slice into his noodles every day, stretching it for a whole month.
Since then, noodles and zucchini have been on his lifetime blacklist.
In major metros, where many people couldn’t cook, supplies were often scarce.
In contrast, smaller places fared better, at least they didn’t have to worry about poor food quality.
There were three children in the villa, with Li Yuqing being the oldest, already old enough for kindergarten.
Li Lingyou was a bit younger, over a year apart.
The seven-month-old Li Xinyi was still nursing, usually cared for by Wang Cuiping. Sometimes she had to take him to the office to be fed by Jiang Banxia at noon.
If Jiang Banxia was busy, they’d make do with formula milk.
Other than the US Stocks, there wasn’t much else to worry about, ushering in a long vacation period.
The villa area was relatively isolated, with only two families currently residing there.
The neighborhood’s trash cans were placed outside, and with sufficient supplies, there weren’t any outsiders around for a short term.
Jiang Banxia finally had time to spend with the kids.
So did Bai Qing.
In a basketball court in the villa area, the two met.
Bai Qing arrived first, bringing Bai Ye to expend some energy here.
Raising kids was a bit like raising dogs. If you didn’t let out their energy, they could drive you mad indoors.
Otherwise, it’d be watching TV or playing on the phone.
Upon seeing Jiang Banxia, Bai Qing subconsciously wanted to take Bai Ye home.
But Jiang Banxia didn’t give her the chance, calling out, "President Bai, long time no see. I heard from my parents yesterday that you live across the street. We’ll be neighbors from now on."
"Uh... yeah... but I don’t stay here often. Once this is over, I’ll return to Jiangbei."
This event significantly impacted Bai Qing, mainly because many of Aurora Studio’s offices were in Jiangbei, including competition venues and some clubs.
Fortunately, before the year-end, she had ordered all major clubs that no players could return home, staying put in the clubs.
This project was a struggle for Li Yang to help her establish. If it stopped, the popularity would quickly fade.
But recently, mobile game users have increased considerably, as many could no longer play on consoles, forcing them to switch to mobiles.
"Jiangbei won’t settle down soon. Green Water Group is also President Bai’s company, so staying here longer won’t raise any eyebrows, right?"
Bai Qing couldn’t help but respond to Jiang Banxia’s remark.
She had been very tolerant.
Recalling what Li Yang said, she replied, "Didn’t someone just comment?"
Bai Qing was no longer Green Water Group’s biggest shareholder; that was Li Yang.
It’s just that Li Yang held many restricted shares, while hers were unrestricted.
Jiang Banxia laughed, saying, "That wasn’t me."
"So, President Jiang, what brings you here specifically?"
"I wanted the kids to make a new friend, of course."
Jiang Banxia had two kids, and she couldn’t keep up with their running around either.
After speaking, she told Li Yuqing, "Yuqing, take your brother over to play with the kids. Remember to introduce yourself."
Li Yuqing was a bit shy, holding onto Jiang Banxia’s hand, refusing to let go.
Bai Ye, however, seeing a chubby little girl, walked over and said, "Hello, I’m Bai Ye. I can dance with my eyebrows. Want to see?"
Jiang Banxia: "..."
Bai Qing: "????"
Bai Ye was proactive, able to bring the timid Li Yuqing and the two-year-old Li Lingyou over to play.
He was especially good at livening up the atmosphere, seemingly understanding why Li Yuqing was introverted, proactively guiding her emotions from body language to conversational techniques.
It might seem naive from an adult’s perspective, but it worked wonders for kids.
Jiang Banxia and Bai Qing were both taken aback.
Bai Qing, as the child’s mother, didn’t even know her child was a social butterfly.
Such behavior was outrageous for a three-year-old and two-month-old.
For a moment, they forgot everything, their focus entirely on the three children.
Jiang Banxia even took out her phone to record a video, sending it to Li Yang.
"Your son has lured away your daughter and another son!"
Li Yang: "..."
At that time, Li Yang was still lying in bed since he had stayed up late the previous night. Though it wasn’t cold in the early morning, mid-winter wasn’t all that warm, not even with floor heating.
So he stayed under the blanket, reluctant to get up.
Then he saw the video sent by Jiang Banxia.
"A few months ago was fine; ever since he went to kindergarten prep, his personality has become lively."
