Chapter 80: Chapter 80: How Did This Thing Get Here

Translator: 549690339

Qiang City is a coastal city. Every summer, many people come here to swim, travel, and escape the heat.

Xiao Qian’s urban village was far from the seaside. Over the years living here, Jia Xiufang had only been here a few times. If it weren’t for Xiao Qian’s insistence, she wouldn’t have come this time.

In her eyes, Jia Xiufang, a simple rural woman who moved to the city, saw traveling as a waste of time and money. She had nothing to do with it. When she and Xiao Qian’s father first moved to Qiang City, Chen Lin brought her here once and told her what the sea was like.

Xiao Qian didn’t choose a hotel; instead, they rented a villa in a residential area by the sea. At a slightly more expensive price of 200 yuan per day, it was much more expensive than a hotel. Xiao Qian lied to Jia Xiufang that it was 30 yuan per day. Even then, Jia Xiufang thought it was expensive.

It was Jia Xiufang’s first time wearing a swimsuit, and she felt very embarrassed. She had been conservative all her life, and it was only with Xiao Qian’s insistence that she went out. Seeing the expanses of white skin outside, she finally started to adapt.

With a swimming ring around her waist and pushed by her daughter into the water, the sun-warmed water was a bit dizzying at first. But with Xiao Qian swimming around her and the two of them chatting, it actually felt pretty good.

She had never thought of living like this before.

She also saw a lot of women her age, wearing swimsuits and swimming in the sea. Jia Xiufang realized that not all middle-aged women stayed at home, doing housework and raising children. Some could come out and play.

“Mom, is swimming fun?” Xiao Qian asked. She was wearing a simple, one-piece swimsuit that showed off her figure.

“It’s okay.” Jia Xiufang was trying hard to move with the swimming ring. Once she got the hang of it, she became addicted.

When she first arrived, she felt uncomfortable, but once she got into the water and started exercising with her daughter, she had no time to think about the divorce.

“Some things, if you don’t try them, you won’t know if they’re good, right? What did you tell me before? People who come to travel have bad brains. They don’t earn money. They come to have fun. Are you having fun now?”

Life is about constant exploration. Without trying new things, how can you know what you like?

Watching people swim in the sea and thinking that she wouldn’t like it, she found that once she got into the water and played, she was actually quite happy. Life is the same.

“You naughty girl, who are you calling ‘having fun’?” Jia Xiufang pushed Xiao Qian, who splashed water on her face and made a funny face before swimming away gracefully. Jia Xiufang clumsily chased her with the swimming ring.

When Yu Minglang walked by with others, he clearly saw a beautiful mermaid in the water.

Xiao Qian was trying her best to make her mom happy and was swimming cheerfully. When she looked up, she saw a group of men in suits and leather shoes. The one leading them looked familiar.

Yu Minglang?!

What is this guy doing here?!

<L* t> Q Zr b 2 :

How come they met each other all the time? Why wasn’t he at the office, and what was he doing here?

Separated by the crowd, the two stared at each other. He forgot that he was inspecting land with others. Xiao Qian forgot what she was doing. Time seemed to stand still.

Yu Minglang was actually here to inspect the land with his partners. He was negotiating a development project nearby.

He didn’t expect to see Xiao Qian here.

Xiao Qian was too busy looking at Yu Minglang.

He was wearing a formal suit. Among all the men Xiao Qian had seen, he was the only one who could wear an Armani suit so stylishly. His body’s tailored cut and low-key charm, the luxurious fabric that set off his pride and determination, and the streamlined modern feel gave him a cutting-edge fashion sense. In fact, he was dressed like everyone else in the group, but he looked particularly good.

Tall and muscular, his simple suit gave off the vibe of a male Victoria’s Secret model.

Xiao Qian was too busy looking at him to notice Jia Xiufang catching up with her. Jia Xiufang flicked water at her, but Xiao Qian couldn’t control herself and got a cramp…

She cried out and tried to stop herself from sinking and tried to float on the water.

“Qian’er, what’s wrong?” Jia Xiufang noticed something was wrong with her daughter. In fact, Yu Minglang had noticed it too.

“My leg is cramped…”

Cramps are not uncommon for regular swimmers. As long as you float on your back in the water, even if both legs are immobile, you won’t sink as long as you paddle with both arms. Xiao Qian was about to try it, enduring the pain, but Jia Xiufang, anxious to save her daughter, removed her swimming ring and put it on Xiao Qian.

“Qian’er, don’t be afraid, Mom is here!”

“…Can you swim?”

“Ah!” Jia Xiufang began to thrash about. Xiao Qian couldn’t help but laugh and cry at the same time.

The water was more than a man’s height deep. She was already cramped; how could she support Jia Xiufang?

Yu Minglang couldn’t hold back from the moment he saw Xiao Qian cramp. He threw his cellphone to his secretary, took off his shoes, and jumped over.

He quickly pulled up Jia Xiufang, put Xiao Qian’s swimming ring on her, pushed the swimming ring with one hand and held Xiao Qian’s waist with the other. They were so close that their bodies were pressed against each other.

Their exposed skin was rubbed by his wet suit. When his hand was so tightly pressed against her waist, Xiao Qian shamefully blushed again.

She was willing to bet that Yu, the big-tailed wolf, had an inner monologue that went like this, although he looked like such a good Samaritan at the moment:

The swimming ring must be given to Jia Xiufang, who would want to hold her mother-in-law?!

What’s more, Xiao Qian didn’t doubt that this guy was deliberately swimming slowly. Was it necessary to move at a snail’s pace for such a short distance?

With his incredible stamina, how could he be so weak? Impossible!

“Don’t be afraid; I’m here.” He lowered his head and said to her.

…I’m not afraid, just shocked by your shamelessness. Xiao Qian glanced at him in silence, swallowing her true thoughts.

Once ashore, Jia Xiufang was completely unaware that her daughter’s waist had been held by him for so long in the water. She kept thanking Yu Minglang.

“Thank you so much, Boss!”

“You’re welcome, Aunt. I’m Yu Minglang, I’m…”

“The one who helped put out the fire! He’s a busy man; go and get back to work.” Xiao Qian quickly pushed him away, fearing that he would say he was her boyfriend.

Jia Xiufang didn’t catch on to the unusual interaction between Xiao Qian and Yu Minglang. “Boss, wait a minute! I’ll get you some water!”

Her clothes and Xiao Qian’s were not far away, along with the food and water. She ran over to get them.

“Where are you staying?” Yu Minglang asked Xiao Qian as he took the opportunity.

“The weather is really nice today.” Xiao Qian looked up at the sky.

“Aunt, there’s something I have to tell you!” Yu Minglang yelled, Jia Xiufang turned her head.

Xiao Qian pinched his waist and loudly said to Jia Xiufang, “Mom, get him a Coke, he said he wants a Coke!”
