The already long-marinated lamb cylinders were placed over the bonfire, and beside it, a resort chef was carefully turning the meat.

Before long, the aroma of wine and meat began to drift slowly into the air.

Greg led the two sisters, along with Spencer and the others, chatting and drinking.

The chef sliced off the outermost layer of roasted lamb, put it on a plate, and handed it out to Greg and the rest.

The slightly charred lamb, dipped in spicy cumin, was full of flavor in the mouth, and with a sip of the semi-sweet chilled wine, the taste was utterly indulgent.

Taylor Ware had come with Lois Abbott; she didn’t recognize anyone else and couldn’t join the conversation, so she just focused on her own eating but her gaze never left Greg.

Seeing Greg chatting animatedly with a few rich second-generations, she felt a genuine admiration rising in her heart.

Greg wasn’t exactly smooth in his social interactions, but he could engage with anyone, and judging by the reactions of Spencer and the others, they seemed to agree with everything he said.

It wasn’t so much that Greg had high emotional intelligence as it was his natural leadership qualities; whatever he said or did, he always seemed convincing.

No wonder he had both Abbott sisters completely smitten.

Taylor subconsciously glanced at Lois, then at her sister, and saw that their eyes, as if fixed on Greg, didn’t waver.

In their look was not only profound joy but also an enduring admiration.

Seeing this, Taylor couldn’t help but curl her lip. It’s just a man, right? Is he worth this much fuss?

But then again, his physique did seem to be pretty good.

Taylor couldn’t help but recall that morning when they had opened up to each other.

She even fantasized what she would have done if Greg had actually made a move on her that night.

Kill him?

Or…

Taylor suddenly snapped back to reality.

Because she realized that the ultimate conclusion was actually to marry him!

How could this be possible?

Would I actually marry this lecherous old man?

But away from Greg, Taylor Ware felt the meat in her hand wasn’t delicious anymore, the wine in the flask wasn’t sweet, and life itself seemed to lose its meaning.

Taylor’s body trembled, and she looked toward Greg, befuddled, muttering,

” Why would I even think that?”

“Taylor, what’s wrong?”

Lois Abbott turned back in confusion, smiling, “What are you thinking about now?”

Taylor answered awkwardly, “Uh, nothing, I just thought… thought that lamb dipped in wine would taste good.”

Lois’s sister’s eyes lit up, and she exclaimed with surprise, “Really? Let me try!”

Saying so, she dunked the grilled meat from the plate into her cup, took a bite, and then her little face instantly scrunched up.

“Ptui, ptui, ptui, liar, it’s not tasty at all.”

“Pfft…”

Both Lois and Taylor burst into laughter.

As the bonfire died out and the evening banquet ended, Greg made plans with everyone to hang out in Jamae City next time, and then he took the sisters back to their room.

After resting for a night, they drove back to Riverhaven County.

The foundation for the vegetable greenhouse had been laid, and as soon as the concrete dried, they could build the canopy. The materials for the greenhouse in the herb field were also ready.

Greg planned to go back to the village to check things out and take the opportunity to adjust the Formation at night when no one was around.

In addition, he now had some spare cash on hand, and he needed to hurry up and produce a batch of Qi Refinement pills.

After the recent Dual Cultivation, he was on the brink of reaching the fourth level of Qi Refinement. To break through, he absolutely needed the Qi Refinement pills.

But before that, he had to buy a car first.

Lindsey Wolfe knew he’d gotten smarter but didn’t know about his relationship with Lois. It wouldn’t do for him to openly drive the Jeep back to the village.

Now, every time he returned to the village, Lois would drop him off, and when coming back from there, he had to ride on the little motorbike, which was very inconvenient.

So he planned to buy a car for himself, it didn’t need to be too fancy, just something to get around.

Lois Abbott started complaining about being tired as soon as she got in the car, but when she heard Greg Jensen was planning to buy a car, her energy perked up immediately.

After browsing the car dealership strip for a while, Greg Jensen finally chose an H6, and the whole thing cost him over a hundred thousand.

He paid an extra thousand yuan, and got the license plates done that same afternoon.

“Keep an eye on the fruit and vegetable supermarket, I’ll have to stay in the village for a few more days,” he said.

“Mm, I know, don’t worry about it,” she replied.

The fruit and vegetable supermarket had a dedicated manager, and Lois Abbott oversaw it, so there actually wasn’t much to worry about.

Greg Jensen got into the car ready to leave, but Lois Abbott clung to him, looking upset, “Brother, when are you coming back this time?”

Seeing this, Lois Abbott’s face immediately darkened, “Let go, your brother- in-law isn’t leaving forever.

Besides, we’re so close. It’s just over a half-hour drive; when can’t you see him?”

Lois Abbott looked innocently at her sister and said, “No, I want to go with Brother.”

Hearing this, Greg Jensen couldn’t help but his face filled with dismay. He dared not bring Lois Abbott back to the village, or else who knows what trouble she could stir up.

“Be good, and when I come back, I’ll take you out for something nice to eat.”

“Really?”

“Of course, it’s true.”

“Then okay,” she said.

At his words, Lois Abbott immediately let go, the look of distress on her face vanishing, her ability to switch expressions so fast was astonishing.

Greg Jensen sighed helplessly, nodded to Lois Abbott, and drove the newly- bought H6 back to Peach Blossom Village.

He chose the top-of-the-line model, and since the car had been thoroughly cleaned inside, it didn’t have that new car smell, just a faint scent of leather.

Though the price of the H6 was far less than that of a Jeep Wrangler, the feeling of driving your own car compared to someone else’s was completely different.

Even for a strong man like Greg Jensen, there was a bit of excitement in his heart.

“Now I’ve got a car too, next up is to buy a house, then I’ll be all set,” he thought.

Filled with excitement, Greg Jensen sped along the road back to Peach Blossom Village.

As he drove the new car into the village, passing villagers all turned their heads, nearly a hundred percent of them gawking.

“Hey, isn’t that Greg Jensen? Did you buy this car?”

“Yeah, it’s just inconvenient going back and forth to the county seat, so I bought one.”

Greg Jensen stopped the car and chatted with the locals for a moment, then drove off.

“This car of Greg Jensen’s… it wasn’t bought for him by Lindsey Wolfe, was it?”

“What do you think? He just got over an illness a few days ago, where would he get the spare cash to buy a car?”

Someone said with envy, “The fool has the luck to live off a woman, the world has gone mad.”

Another person couldn’t resist mocking, “You wish you could live off someone, but you don’t have what he has.”

The person who had spoken earlier asked blankly, “What does he have?”

“Being handsome, of course!”

“Pah, you think being handsome can feed you?”

The disgruntled person spat out.

Someone else said with a sneer, “Sorry, but it actually can feed you. If you don’t believe me, go ask Lindsey Wolfe. If Greg Jensen agreed to marry her, ask her if she’d be willing to support him?”

“What the hell…”

The rumors quickly spread around the village.

As for Greg Jensen and Lindsey Wolfe, the two people in question didn’t think much of it, but Boss Liu was not having it.

“Damn it, if Mr. Jensen is living off a woman, then what does that make me? A dog living off a woman? Throw those people out. If anyone dares to speak ill of Mr. Jensen again, give them a thrashing first before anything else,” he said.

‘Alright, Boss,” they replied.
