Su Bai's "I Want It All" Plan

Truth be told, Grandma Ouyang's analysis was spot on.

Wealth is indeed the foundation that allows one to remain unfazed by favor or disgrace.

If a person possesses three hundred million in cash savings, and their daily luxury consumption only serves to further increase their wealth, they certainly have every reason to be confident.

From this perspective, even some major business tycoons couldn't compare to Su Bai's confidence. After all, they still had to worry about the livelihoods of a whole company of employees. If the market turned sour or the capital chain broke, they could go straight into bankruptcy.

Doing business always carries risks, but Su Bai's "Indulgence Cashback" carried none.

Therefore, in Grandma Ouyang's eyes, Su Bai's image became increasingly satisfactory. Tsk tsk, it seemed Xiao Lin's taste in men was indeed excellent.

"Since that's the case, Grandma is going to show you her specialty... I see you're in good physical shape, kid, so Grandma is going to crank up the intensity..."

"No, wait, don't... Ow!!"

...

After a session of rigorous and dedicated massage.

Su Bai lay on the bed like a dead dog, his expression hard to maintain.

How should one put it? Once the pain faded, it truly felt comfortable. The System even provided a prompt: [Indulged in top-tier Traditional Chinese Medicine therapy, physical constitution slightly improved].

He even received a random reward of ten thousand in cash, though that amount of money was essentially useless to the current Su Bai...

But the process was absolute torture!

No wonder when Xia Lin brought him in, she had that sly look with a hint of a mischievous grin. She clearly knew he would be kneaded by Grandma until he howled.

"Haha, Junior looked so cute just now. I recorded it all."

Xia Lin walked over to the massage table where Su Bai was lying and crouched down, waving her phone screen in front of his eyes.

Su Bai immediately felt a bit embarrassed and retorted, "Senior Sister, don't celebrate too early. It'll be your turn to scream and holler in a minute."

Stunned for a moment, Xia Lin realized what Su Bai was implying and immediately blushed. "Hmph, I won't... I'm going next door to let Grandma work on me. You rest for a bit. If you're bored, you can watch TV or read a book."

"Alright."

Su Bai lay there a while longer. Once the soreness in his body faded, he hopped up and stretched his limbs, feeling completely revitalized.

Not bad.

For an ordinary person without the aid of a System, Grandma Ouyang's unique skills would definitely be considered a high-efficiency health regimen.

Of course, true wellness also requires a proper diet and regular exercise... Hmm, Yangyang's dad seemed to place a lot of importance on wellness.

Su Bai turned on the TV and found quite a few Blu-ray movie resources stored on it. They were all classic old films. He guessed the clubhouse had set up a NAS server; otherwise, the capacity of a standard TV wouldn't be nearly enough.

There was a bookshelf on the other side of the room. He wouldn't have known if he hadn't looked, but once he did, Su Bai's interest was piqued. He actually found out-of-print books that had vanished from the market, and even some with rather sensitive content.

As expected of Sister Xia Lin's territory. Interesting.

Su Bai found a niche detective novel and began to flip through it.

Next door, Grandma Ouyang had already started kneading Xia Lin's shoulders.

"Your condition is far worse than your fiancé's..."

"Well, I certainly can't compare to him. Hey, Grandma, what do you think of him?" A look of anticipation appeared on Xia Lin's face.

"I can't pick out a single flaw."

"Hehe..."

"Look how happy you are. You've really fallen for him."

Teasing aside, Grandma Ouyang also harbored a slight worry. Based on her many years of experience, expecting a boy as excellent as Su Bai to be monogamous was definitely impossible. She didn't know if Xia Lin could tolerate that. Xiao Lin had a good personality, true, but she was still a pampered eldest daughter of a wealthy family.

Xia Lin's gaze turned hazy for a moment before she murmured, "What can be done about it, then... When you like someone, you're bound to fall deep. One has to experience these things... Sometimes being jealous is quite fun. Appropriate jealousy is beneficial for one's health."

"Not bad, our Xiao Lin has a great mindset..."

The old woman and the young woman chatted casually, and eventually, the conversation drifted toward preparing for pregnancy.

It seemed abrupt, but the topic transition was actually very natural. In Grandma Ouyang's view, having children in one's early twenties was relatively easier on the body, prioritizing safety above all.

Many girls weren't willing to have children at this age, primarily because they had to attend graduate school or were just starting their careers, making it inconvenient.

Xia Lin didn't have this problem. Setting aside her part-time job as a counselor at Jiang City University, even if she worked full-time at a company, would the boss dare to fire her if she took maternity leave?

Someone of her level was called a "resource-based employee"; she couldn't be lumped in with ordinary corporate wage slaves.

However, Xia Lin found it a bit overwhelming. Preparing for pregnancy sounded like something very distant. At least in the circle she usually moved in, filled with undergraduates and graduate students, practically no one was considering such things.

Forget having children; many college students nowadays couldn't even be bothered to date.

"I checked Su Bai's pulse just now. No issues. His lifestyle habits must be excellent; he neither smokes nor drinks excessively. If you two want a child right now, there would be no problem..."

"Let's take it slow, we're in no rush."

Xia Lin didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It seemed Grandma Ouyang really wanted her to have a child soon.

This was related to the traditional views of the elderly, but it also proved that as an elder who watched Xia Lin grow up, she was truly satisfied with Su Bai.

However, Xia Lin's thoughts were more complex than the simple-hearted Grandma Ouyang.

She thought of Su Bai's group of female confidantes.

Who would Su Bai have a child with first?

This question seemed a bit far off, but Xia Lin's personality was such that she liked to consider immediate and long-term matters together—preparing for a rainy day.

According to Xia Lin's thinking, it wasn't appropriate for her to snatch this "first." Her goal was to be Su Bai's main wife. If she hogged all the benefits, it would appear too domineering. Su Bai was a man with a mind of his own; that wouldn't be suitable.

Moreover, as their counselor, Xia Lin had witnessed the entire campus romance between Su Bai and Chen Yusheng. That pair was truly a match made in heaven... Su Bai was extremely good to her as well. Xia Lin wasn't hell-bent on stealing someone else's love; the problem was that she really wanted to marry Su Bai.

So, give the first child to Sheng Sheng?

That was actually a decent choice.

Forget it, this kind of thing should ultimately be decided by Su Bai.

Xia Lin wasn't a clingy or indecisive person. As soon as Grandma Ouyang finished the therapy, she returned to the adjacent room.

"Reading?"

"Yeah, just browsing..."

"What is your view on having children?"

Xia Lin laid out all the plans and doubts she had just considered, asking for Su Bai's opinion with complete candor.

Su Bai thought for a moment, then said something shocking: "Let's not talk about kids for a moment. Regarding marriage, couldn't we just find a relatively liberal country and marry many people?"

"...Theoretically, of course, we could."

"We aren't afraid of public condemnation either. We have Reporter Xu, after all. I met her before and thought she was quite reliable... Anyway, it's not a big problem." Su Bai looked Xia Lin up and down, smiling. "Sister Lin seems very eager to marry me."

"Of course I do. Do you have any idea how hard it is for a woman in our circle to find a suitable person to marry?" Xia Lin said with a wry smile.

"Anyway, don't worry. I'm a greedy person. I choose to have it all—marriage, kids, everything."
