As they returned to the mansion, Jia Hao and Su Yunqi had a newfound spark between them. Su Yunqi's heart was beating fast, making her unable to look at Jia Hao.
But, Jia Hao's expressions as calm and confident, and somewhat happy also. After all, he finally managed to get Su Yunqi's attention.
As they arrived, Su Xing'er already went to sleep. Su Lan was watching T.V in the living room as she saw them.
" Mom, Hao'er, you are back."
" Haha, Were you waiting for us, dear?" Su Yunqi smiled as she sat beside Su Lan.
" How did the party went, Mom?" Su Lan asked in a curious voice.
" Believe me, Sister Lan. It was quite a drama." Jia Hao chuckled as he also sat on the sofa.
As he started to explain what happened at the event, Su Lan's excitement increased.
" Damn it! That bitch really tried to frame mom?" Su Lan couldn't help but snort.
" Mom, Didn't I tell you? That Ping Mengji is vile as a snake."
" Hehe, She changed her name to Wu Mengji." Jia Hao joked. " She couldn't even feel confident with her own name."
" Haah, But you were right on time though?" Su Lan sighed. " You did well by humiliating that bitch."
" But how did you do that, though?" Su Yunqi asked in a curious voice. " When did you take out the necklace from my purse and put it in her's?"
" Hehe, Mom, A magician never reveals the secret of his tricks."
" What a cheeky brat."
Both Su Lan and Su Yunqi pouted as they looked away. But seeing a large cylindrical roll behind Jia Hao, Su Lan was interested.
" Hao'er, Is that the painting you have bought from the auction?"
" Hehe, Sister Lan is right. It's an authentic piece."
Rolling out the painting, Su Lan looked at the Lady of The Riverside Village.
" Such a beautiful painting. This art style is indeed Tang Buyu's..." Su Lan mumbled.
" You have a knack for collecting ancient items, yes?" Jia Hao smiled. " Consider this as a gift for you, Sister Lan."
" Wh-What? Really?" Su Lan was stunned. " Wait, Since this is an authentic painting, how much it cost?"
" Ehh? I mean...It was a charity auction so, I got it in less. Don't ask the price, just accept it."
Su Yunqi sighed as she saw Jia Hao casually gifting the painting to Su Lan.
' That's a fifty million yuan painting. Yet he gave it away to her.'
" But mom, what are those?"
" Ah, these?"
Su Yunqi looked at her bracelets, sparkling with various expensive gems. " This is also something Jia Hao bought. It's called a nine gem imperial bracelet."
Taking off one, she handed it to Su Lan. Su Lan touched the piece of jewelry in fascination. " Such beautiful craftsmanship. It does suit you, Mom."
" Tsk tsk, Hao'er really spent a lot in this auction, hm?" Su Lan chuckled.
" Well, I had a bit of money in my bank account. So, Why not?" Jia Hao shrugged.
" Money is something that should be spent, not stacked."
" Hao'er, But you really spent a bit too much today. Where did you get all that money?" Su Yunqi asked in an intrigued tone.
" You aren't doing anything shady, do you?"
" Not really." Jia Hao shrugged. " I just sold something Elder Chen of Tianguang Hall. I earned quite a lot from him."
' But the chocolate...I thought it would turn into an energy boosting chocolate. What the hell with this poisonous one?'
Jia Hao's expression turned odd as he looked at the description of the poisonous chocolate.
' Don't tell me the chocolate was moldy and turned into poison? Hmm, But it will work well, I suppose?'
Jia Hao was more elated about the business of shampoo and soap. With those, he would make a fortune in the Great Yan Kingdom.
Looking around, he saw the room was empty, with faint sunlight coming from the window.
' Huh? A day must have passed.' Jia Hao pondered as he walked out. As expected, Cai Yixue wasn't inside.
' The monster tide shall come in a few days. I have to start making preparations from now.' Jia Hao pondered inwardly.
Looking at the sunlight outside, Jia Hao couldn't help but stretch his arm. The difference between the atmosphere in Yunlan Continent and Azure Sea World is naked to the eyes.
Taking a deep breath, Jia Hao shouted.
" Minmin, Where are you?"
Not long after, Minmin arrived hurriedly. " Young Lord, You are back."
" Come with me to the bedroom."
Minmin couldn't help but stammer. " But Young Lord, This is daytime..."
Suddenly, she shut up when Jia Hao threw her a stern glance. " Ahem, I was just joking Young Lord."
Walking in, Minmin saw the soap bars and the extracts. Jia Hao took out the extracts and put a tenth of its amount in a large vase of natural diluter.
' Take this and melt everything in a pot. After mixing well, solidify them and cut them into bars."
Minmin received a parchment from Jia Hao as he saw the recipe for making the soap.
" Young Lord, You are giving me the method so easily. What if it gets stolen?" Minmin bit her lips as she looked at Jia Hao.
" Hehe, Don't worry, Minmin." Jia Hao chuckled. " Even if they stole the formula, where they are going to get the raw materials?"
" Besides, If it gets leaked...I will use this chance to punish you."
Minmin's body shivered as she could understand what kind of 'punishment' Jia Hao was talking about.
" Bah! Pervert Young Lord!" Minmin snorted lightly as she turned around.
" I shall call a few maids to carry out these things. The process is short. I shall try to make them as fast as possible."

Eastern Sea City, late night.
' Ngh, I am so thirsty.'
Su Lan mumbled as she walked with sleepy eyes in the hall However, she stopped her steps as she heard some faint sound.
' Huh? Those sounds...They are coming from Mom's room?'
Su Lan rubbed her eyes as she walked to Su Lan's room. As she opened the door and peeked through it,.
" Hnnnghh!~ Hao'er...More...Faster..."
" I love you...Hao'er!"
Su Lan's sleepiness faded.
" ???!! HUH??!"
