The next second, the tall figure in front of him directly picked her up.

Ryan Lampe leaned on the solid and warm chest, feeling her soft and boneless body slowly heating up as if a gate had opened at that moment.

Just then, Greg Jensen suddenly lowered his head and asked with a mischievous smile, “Rae Rae, want to have a late-night snack together?”

“Ah, didn’t we… didn’t we just eat…”

Before she could finish, Ryan Lampe had already realized what was happening and, blushing deeply, buried her head in Greg Jensen’s chest and whispered softly:

“I want to eat, a lot.”

“Good, I’m hungry too.”

In the darkness, two figures embraced and returned to the living room.

Soon, the living room was filled with the sound of heavy breathing.

It wasn’t until dawn that Greg Jensen finally carried the exhausted Ryan Lampe back to the spare bedroom, covered her with a blanket, kissed her forehead, and then carefully closed the door and left.

Although Ryan Lampe was drained of strength, she was in a good mental state and took a while to fall asleep.

When her breathing became even, Angela Stuart, who was lying beside her, suddenly opened her eyes.

She slowly got up, looked at the sleeping Ryan Lampe, and then towards the direction of the main bedroom, muttering, “That little brat, hogging all to herself!”

In the main bedroom, after finishing his late-night snack, Greg Jensen felt refreshed and sat on the bed, carefully sensing the increase of True Qi in his body.

A hint of joy appeared on his face.

For his True Qi was not far from reaching the fifth level of Qi Refinement.

As for how far, he couldn’t say for sure; it was a mysterious feeling, like an epiphany from the depths of his heart.

“Maybe I’ll be able to get accurate information after I’m able to internally observe?”

Greg Jensen was thrilled, contemplating whether to take two Qi and Blood Pills in a row to see if he could break through to the fifth level of Qi Refinement in one fell swoop.

However, glancing at the sleeping Vince Cooper, he abandoned the idea.

After some thought, he decided to wait for a time when no one else was around.

In the early morning, Vince Cooper got up early to cook as usual, and both Ryan Lampe and Angela Stuart got up around the same time, pitching in to help in the kitchen.

While preparing breakfast, Vince Cooper suddenly felt something was off and turned to look at the two of them, saying, “What’s with you two this morning, staring at me like that?”

“Ah, it’s nothing,” Angela Stuart said, her panic fleeting.

Ryan Lampe was much more composed, teasingly saying, “Because you’re pretty!”

“Hmph, I’m always pretty.”

“Don’t get too full of yourself.”

“You’re the one getting full of yourself.”

The three women teased each other for a while, effectively easing the awkwardness.

Ryan Lampe and Angela Stuart both breathed a sigh of relief.

By the time Greg Jensen got up, the three women had already prepared breakfast.

After he sat down at the table, he immediately sensed something was wrong. Ryan Lampe’s expression was genuinely off, but what was going on with Angela Stuart?

Although Angela Stuart had been very careful, Greg Jensen’s sensory abilities were not ordinary, and he still noticed something odd.

Had she discovered his relationship with Ryan Lampe?

Greg Jensen felt somewhat guilty and cautiously glanced at Angela Stuart with the corner of his eye, observing that her gaze not only lingered between Vince Cooper and Ryan Lampe but occasionally settled on him as well.

And when she looked at him, her eyes were a bit odd.

Mixed with disdain and anticipation, there even seemed to be a touch of shyness, as if she was looking at a lover.

Walking by the river often enough, one’s shoes are bound to get wet!

Greg Jensen understood this principle well; having Ryan Lampe alone was manageable, but if he ended up with Angela Stuart as well, it would only be a matter of time before Vince Cooper discovered it.

Although his relationship with Vince Cooper was secretive and they weren’t a normal boyfriend and girlfriend, it would still be very embarrassing if discovered.

Greg Jensen mulled over it and decided he should avoid Angela Stuart in the future, to prevent anything inappropriate from happening.

Ever since he began practicing “Yin Yang Harmony Sutra,” he found his sexual desires had increased and sometimes were not easy to control.

This might be the drawback of Dual Cultivation.

Greg Jensen sighed to himself but didn’t take it to heart, and began to ponder the vegetable base project.

Lindsey Wolfe was doing well in town, with a stable monthly income of twenty to thirty thousand, adding up to several hundred thousand a year.

For Peach Blossom Village, several hundred thousand was an astronomical figure; ordinary villagers might not earn that in their entire lives.

Naturally, this money was more than enough for her and her mother to live in the village.

Even if Esther Jensen went to college in the future, they would have more than enough to cover various expenses.

However, Greg Jensen still hoped they would move to live in the city, or even the county town. It wasn’t that he had any designs on Lindsey Wolfe; it was mainly for Esther Jensen’s sake.

Perspective is an intangible thing to speak about, but it is vitally important for a child’s development.

From another perspective, if Lindsey Wolfe were to move to the county town, she could take over the management of the fruit supermarket there, freeing Lois Abbott from her obligations.

When the supermarket in Jamae City opens in the future, Lois Abbott would be just the person to serve as the general manager.

“There aren’t enough people,” Greg Jensen couldn’t help but lament.

After all, his foundation was insufficient.

A normal person couldn’t possibly, like him, have amassed a fortune of tens of millions in just over half a year.

As a result, he lacked sufficient accumulation and trustworthy talent on hand.

But there was no helping it.

Greg Jensen let out a long sigh and was about to continue practicing the Guidance Technique when his phone suddenly rang.

He picked it up and saw it was Theo Carter calling. He had arranged for the Carter Family to watch over Cindy Harrison, so a call at this time meant there was some issue.

After pondering for a moment, he answered, “Speak, what’s up?”

“Mr. Jensen, last night Cindy Harrison met with Jay Brent. I’m not sure what they talked about.

But I heard from the waitstaff that your name was brought up multiple times at their dinner table,” said Theo Carter with a hint of excitement.

“They mentioned my name?”

“Exactly, Jay Brent is ruthless and I suspect he might be plotting against you. You should be more cautious these days,” Theo Carter added.

“I see, anything else?”

“There is also… We…”

At this point, Theo Carter started to hesitate.

He was shocked enough when he learned that Greg Jensen wanted him to keep an eye on Cindy Harrison.

But after actually starting the surveillance, he realized he was still too naive.

Because he saw Cindy Harrison entering and leaving the hotel with Alan Locke.

And Alan Locke was Ethan Locke’s uncle!

If this big news were to break, it would definitely blow up throughout Jamae City.

If it were just Cindy Harrison alone, it would have been simple, but now that Alan Locke was involved, it was frightening to think about the consequences.

If things didn’t go well and the story got out, the Carter Family would not be able to withstand the fury of the Locke family.

Before making this call, Theo Carter had been wrestling with whether to report this or not for a long time.

He even specially asked his father, Wallace Carter, but the answer he got was to make the decision on his own.

“Mr. Jensen, I…”

Theo Carter broke out in a cold sweat, struggling enormously inside, not knowing what to do.

On the other end of the phone, Greg Jensen was in no hurry, waiting quietly, like a beast waiting for the chance to strike.
