"Hey, hey... why are you hitting people?" Xia Liu quickly dodged; if he had been kicked, it would have definitely hurt for a while. "I am hitting you, you jerk!" Having said that, Gu Fangxia covered her flushed face and ran downstairs. It was unclear whether her blushing was due to shyness or anger. Xia Liu didn't immediately follow her; he greeted Gu Yi and Lu Zhen before heading downstairs. By the time he got there, Gu Fangxia was nowhere to be seen. Xia Liu decided to wait until the girl's anger had subsided before looking for her. So, he drove to the distillery. The distillery was now bustling with activity. Almost all the men from the village worked there. They didn't want a penny in wages; they just wanted to bring home more Osmanthus Wine every month. Since everyone loved the wine, it was inevitable that some would sneak drinks during distillation. So, Li Zhi set a rule: anyone caught sneaking drinks in the distillery would be dismissed, and they wouldn't get any Osmanthus Wine for a year. If their performance was good, they could take home thirty kilograms a month, which amounted to about one kilogram per day. This system was met with cheers from everyone, and it boosted their motivation to work. Currently, one of the fermentation tanks in the distilling area was full; the production hadn't ceased since Xia Liu had left. One batch was finished fermenting, and another was ready. Of course, there had been interruptions, but the output was still quite good. Seeing Xia Liu arrive, everyone was very excited and urged him to taste the wine to see if the flavor had changed. Xia Liu didn't hold back. After tasting, he praised the flavor, which was very good compared to the first batch. With Xia Liu's praise, everyone was thrilled. This meant that they had succeeded. As long as they maintained their performance, they would have an endless supply of Osmanthus Wine and energy. After exchanging pleasantries with everyone for a while, Xia Liu headed to the mixed spirits section to check in. At that moment, in the mixed spirits area, several young men, led by Xiao Hu, were cleaning the fermentation tank. After greeting them, Xia Liu left. He was confident in leaving the distillery in their hands. Currently, his task was to check on the progress at the villa complex and, incidentally, comfort Gu Fangxia. A few kilometers away from the beach, on a high slope stretching for miles, there, several plots of land were occupied by newly built miniature castles. The most magnificent was the one perched on a cliff edge. It looked like a palace among castles and was the largest. From afar, its appearance was stunning. Approaching it, one would be awestruck by its majesty. Even though Xia Liu had spent several years abroad, this was his first time at the entrance of this castle-style villa, and he was utterly amazed. The décor was purely gray, and the main gate was eight meters tall, carrying a rustic aroma that greeted him as the wind blew. Creak... Xia Liu gently pushed, and the door quietly swung open. Just stepping through the gate, Xia Liu was again surprised by the decoration inside. Gleaming colors were everywhere, every nook meticulously perfected, with a polished red wooden staircase catchiing his eye. Moving forward, the layout included modern furniture arrangements, with a huge leather sofa placed in the hall. Experience tales at My Virtual Library Empire "Clap, clap!" Xia Liu couldn't help but exclaim; indeed, entrusting the construction work to Gu Fangxia was the right decision. Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh... As Xia Liu was thinking about how to reward Gu Fangxia, a faint sound of water suddenly reached his ears. "Someone upstairs? Could it be a decorator?" Unsure of who it might be, Xia Liu decided to go up and check. Having his house done so well, he felt it was only right to give a reward. The second floor was nearly complete, every detail exuding elegance and luxury. The sound came from a corner on the second floor; Xia Liu followed the sound to its source. When he reached the place from where the sound of water was coming, he froze on the spot, his eyes staring blankly ahead. In his view, a beautiful scene was reflected. A wooden door was wide open, and droplets of water continuously fell from the showerhead. Moreover, a pale figure stood motionless, beautiful curves, the daunting great mountains chilling to the bone, as if her slender waist could be easily grasped with a single hand. All this was blatantly exposed before Xia Liu... "Ah!" Gu Fangxia shrieked sharply, then slammed the door shut fiercely. Bang! A loud noise brought Xia Liu back to his senses, his breathing somewhat rapid. He didn't know how to express his feelings at the moment. Although he had seen the extent of Gu Fangxia before, it was in the dead of night, and there were some obstructions, Xia Liu hadn't thought much of it then. But just now was different, not only was it bare, but there was also the beauty of a bathing maiden. His blood began to boil a bit. Even though he had been blustering from early morning, Xia Liu was still restless. Ever since the Energy Sea Seal was undone, his restlessness had grown even more. As Xia Liu was imagining, the bathroom door suddenly opened. However, he could not see any figure, Gu Fangxia seemed to be hiding behind the wall. "Xia Liu! How did you get in here?" Gu Fangxia's voice came from inside the door. "Haha, I didn't mean to see you naked, I just wanted to check on the progress of the house." Xia Liu felt quite awkward because he had just had a strong impulse to open the door and go in. "You saw me come in, so you wanted to take advantage, didn't you?" "Don't get me wrong! I really didn't do it on purpose, I wanted to check on the progress, I heard water upstairs and thought it was the construction workers, so I thought of coming up to blow off some steam and chat." Xia Liu was really in a bind now because that was exactly his initial intention. "Are you saying you didn't even think a little bit about taking advantage of me?" "Hmm? What do you mean by that?" Xia Liu was somewhat surprised, did she really expect him to take advantage of her? "You knowingly ask." Gu Fangxia's voice was somewhat cold. Xia Liu was dumbfounded, knowingly ask? Could it really be as he thought, that she wanted him to take the initiative? "Sister Gu, I was wrong about yesterday, I shouldn't have forced you to witness that, what if I give you a raise?" Suddenly, Xia Liu recalled the awkward moment of Gu Fangxia last night, and he realized. It must be because of this, she must be upset because the other women and himself were being flirtatious, and then she got angry. "I don't want your salary!" Gu Fangxia roared. "Then tell me, Sister Gu, what do you want? Whatever I have, I'll give it to you." Xia Liu felt quite guilty, she helped him and everyone build a beautiful house. Just as he returned, he forced her to witness something quite irritating, which would annoy anyone. "I want you..." As she said this, Gu Fangxia slowly walked out from behind the wall. She was wrapped in a white towel, her wet hair draped over her shoulders. With a flushed face, she hung her head low, afraid to let Xia Liu see her embarrassment. Yesterday in the office, she saw how the girls talked and acted with Xia Liu. She was envious, and when she left the office, her heart was a bit twisted in pain. Fang Fei and Huang Xue were originally her closest friends, but now it seemed Fang Fei and Qianqian were focusing more on Xia Liu, as were Xiao Hu and Zhang Qing. Seeing her sisters all behaved that way, she too yearned to join...
