Xie Li gently turned Jiang Yuying's shoulders so that her back faced him. He reached out and swept aside Jiang Yuying's waterfall-like black hair, revealing her entire back. He casually removed Jiang Yuying's shawl, and her thin inner garment failed to conceal the curves of her back.

Xie Li's palm rested on the back of Jiang Yuying's neck as he massaged her shoulders.

Sometimes, one had to pamper their wife.

Jiang Yuying quickly got used to working at the Xie Group. After all, she was also a top student and was accustomed to handling various household accounts, so she quickly adapted to the role of assistant.

Besides the tasks assigned by Xie Li, Assistant Gao also assigned her some tasks, and she could handle them with ease. Assistant Gao couldn't help but marvel at how efficient this family was.

Since hiring a private tutor and being dominated by devilish courses, Xie Siyun's academic performance had steadily been improving. In the recent mid-term exams, she achieved satisfactory results.

As for Xie Siqi... Assistant Gao couldn't help but feel that he might truly be out of his mind and unable to think clearly.

Xie Li was quite happy during the days when the cheap son was absent. After all, there was no one whispering in his ear, and he didn't have to worry about any embarrassing situations. On the days when he wasn't at home, life was simple, quiet, and particularly comfortable for Xie Li.

However, Christmas was approaching, and Xie Siqi had already started his vacation. Xie Junhe, the old man, had insisted on keeping him away and had even sent messages to Xie Li, advising him not to be lenient.

"It's only been a few months since this happened, and you want him to come home for vacation already? He must still have feelings for that girl. Don't interfere in this matter. Listen to me, don't let him come back, don't be soft-hearted."

Xie Li replied in a solemn tone, "Yes, I understand."

After hanging up the phone, he immediately banished his cheap son to the ends of the earth.

Still, he happily invited Jiang Yuying to go grocery shopping with him to buy things for Christmas.

Of course, Jiang Yuying agreed. The weather was getting colder, and she put on slightly thicker clothes. However, they always had a car to go in and out, and whether they were going out or returning home, they always had the air conditioning on. Inside was always just a single layer of clothing, with a thick coat on the outside.

Today, Jiang Yuying was wearing a camel-colored base dress with flesh-colored stockings underneath, paired with camel-colored ankle boots. She had styled her hair into waves a few days ago, as Xie Li had suggested.

Although her silky black hair was gone, Xie Li preferred her this way. With her recent increase in workload, she had also gained a bit of a capable demeanor. Compared to the first time she had her hair styled, when she was fidgeting and didn't know what to do, looking like a complete novice, she now exuded a mature charm.

Xie Li subtly felt a sense of guilt for leading her astray.

From the elegant and wealthy lady of the house to the cool and capable super A-class lady, the transition was indeed quite significant, but Jiang Yuying was heading in that direction.

What's even more peculiar was that although she was increasingly displaying a super A-class demeanor in front of others, in front of her family, Jiang Yuying was still the gentle and elegant young lady.

Jiang Yuying took a scarf from her female secretary and carefully wrapped it around Xie Li's neck before they prepared to leave. However, before they could reach the door, they heard the sound of footsteps. Turning around, they saw Xie Siyun running down from upstairs.

Jiang Yuying frowned slightly. "Walk properly and don't run."

Xie Siyun slowed down from a jog to a brisk walk and quickly approached them. She usually dressed quite lightly at home, but now she had put on a heavy coat and wore gloves on her hands.

"I want to go too! The teacher said I did well and could relax a bit!"

She had already reached them, but the tutor leisurely descended the stairs and, facing Jiang Yuying's inquiring gaze, nodded. Only then did Jiang Yuying reluctantly agree to let Xie Siyun come along.

Xie Li: "…"

—What's going on? Why didn't anyone ask for my opinion?

Before Xie Li could voice his objections, he found out that his stupid daughter wanted to hitch a ride with him and Jiang Yuying. Instead of opposing Xie Siyun joining them, he prioritized arranging her transportation.

"You sit in the back. Don't crowd your mom and me."

Xie Li had to accept the fact that there would be an extra third wheel when they went grocery shopping, but there was nothing he could do. After all, Xie Siyun's recent academic progress had been quite remarkable. A balance between work and rest was necessary, and one couldn't be too strict about studying all the time.

It was a mistake to go shopping with Jiang Yuying on their day off.
