America: The neighbor's wife is so incredibly hospitable!

As the sirens faded completely at the end of Highway 93, Miller Farm returned to the stillness of the winter night.

But this silence was different from the one before.

It no longer carried a sense of desolation and unease, but was filled with a kind of victorious tranquility, as intense as fine wine.

Cheers erupted from the barn.

Tie Tou led his security guards, who had just experienced a great victory.

A bonfire was lit in the snow, a whole lamb was roasted, and the owner drank the strong liquor he had given them.

They were celebrating, celebrating that they had chosen the right person to follow.

It also celebrates having an impregnable fortress during this harsh winter.

The celebrations in the main house, however, are more private and more enchanting.

Nine o'clock in the evening.

The heating was turned up to the maximum again, and the room was warm and cozy.

On the dining table, the suitcase filled with one million US dollars lay open.

The green banknotes exuded a captivating scent of ink under the light.

Next to it was a cream cake with a candle with the number "19" on it.

Sarah made this herself.

Make a wish.

Chen An sat in the main seat, swirling a glass of red wine in his hand, his gaze lazily fixed on the birthday celebrant sitting opposite him.

Jessica didn't change her clothes, but she took off her worn-out sweater.

At this moment, she was wearing the black lace backless dress that Chen An had requested.

This dress is not only backless, but the side slits are also incredibly high.

With each movement, the snow-white skin at the base of her thighs could be vaguely seen.

The lace fabric clung tightly to her young, sculpted body.

It exudes a fatal allure that blends naivety and maturity.

She was trembling slightly.

It wasn't because of the cold, but because of those eyes.

Chen An's gaze was as if he were examining a private work of art that belonged only to him.

That undisguised possessiveness made her feel hot all over.

Jessica closed her eyes and clasped her hands together.

"I hope..."

She didn't recite it silently in her mind, but said it aloud.

"I hope this house will always be warm. I hope... I'll never have to lock the door again."

This statement is both a vow and a surrender.

Sarah, sitting to the side in her silk robe, smiled gently at his words.

She reached out and touched her daughter's hair, her eyes devoid of jealousy.

There is only one feeling: "My daughter has grown up."

"Blow out the candles," Sarah said softly. "Anne has already granted your wish."

Jessica blows out the candles.

Wisps of smoke curled upwards.

"Now that your wish has come true, shouldn't you open your present?"

Chen An put down his wine glass, pointed to the money box on the table, and then pointed towards the door.

"The money is your allowance. But the real gift tonight... is yet to come."

………………

Back porch.

The snow stopped, and the moon peeked out from behind the clouds, illuminating the snow-covered ground as if it were daytime.

The huge red cedar bathtub was kept at a perfect 40 degrees Celsius, steaming gently.

Chen An had already entered the water.

He leaned against the edge of the tub, his arms outstretched and resting on the tub wall, like an emperor resting in a hot spring.

The glass door was pushed open.

Sarah came out first.

She didn't go into the water immediately, but turned around and took Jessica's hand, like a patient guide.

"Don't be afraid," Sarah whispered.

Jessica stood in the cold wind, wearing that black men's windbreaker.

The newly bought high heels made a "tap-tap" sound as they stepped on the wooden floor.

She looked at Chen An in the water, then at her mother beside her.

At this moment, all moral constraints and worldly perspectives vanish.

They were all shattered by that life-or-death crisis and the absolute sense of security that Chen An brought.

And this time it was witnessed by my mother!

"I'm not afraid."

Jessica took a deep breath and unbuttoned her jacket.

The clothes slipped down.

Under the bright moonlight, the girl's delicate body, wrapped in a black lace dress, was simply breathtakingly beautiful.

The emerald green spodumene necklace Chen An gave her around her neck.

It was quietly pressed against her collarbone, as if proclaiming some kind of ownership.

She didn't take off her skirt.

Instead, she simply wore that expensive lace dress, took long strides, and stepped into the bathtub.

"Splash!"

Her skirt spread out in the water, like black seaweed entwining her fair legs.

The water soaked the fabric, making the already sheer lace even more form-fitting, to the point of being completely transparent.

This is a visual feast that is even more impactful than full nudity.

"come over."

Chen An extended his hand.

Jessica waded through the water and walked up to him.

She didn't sit to the side, but went straight to Chen An and slowly knelt down.

The water reached above her chest.

She raised her head, her doe-like, wet eyes looking at Chen An with a hint of pleading and longing.

"Boss... the gift has been opened."

Her voice sounded especially soft and sweet in the steam.

Chen An lowered his head and hooked his fingers around the necklace on her neck.

Then slide down that cold metal chain.

Happy birthday, Jessica.

He kissed her.

This time, there was no half-hearted attempt, no feigned indifference.

This is a kiss that leaves a mark.

She responded awkwardly but enthusiastically.

He poured all his rebelliousness, confusion, and love over the years into this kiss.

Just as the two were engrossed in their passionate embrace...

A pair of gentle arms wrapped around Jessica from behind.

Sarah gently embraced her daughter, while also snuggling close to Chen An.

"Looks like... my little wild horse has to go home."

Sarah chuckled and then kissed Chen An on the cheek.

"You've worked hard, An. Not only do you have to deal with those bad guys, but you also have to tame this stubborn temper."

"This is the landlord's responsibility."

Chen An released Jessica's lips and looked at the scene before him.

He was surrounded by women on both sides.

In the snow-covered wilderness of Montana, inside this steaming wooden barrel.

Chen An truly understood what it meant to "wield power over the world when awake, and rest one's head on the lap of a beauty when drunk."

"install……"

Jessica looked at Chuanxi with an extremely alluring charm on her face.

"That ten thousand US dollars...do I still not have to pay it back?"

"fool."

Chen An's fingers gently traced the smooth inner thigh beneath her skirt.

"Can you afford to pay it back? You'll be mine for the rest of your life, including interest."

"Then... let's just keep owing it."

Jessica leaned in and offered her red lips again.

This time, Sarah didn't stand idly by either.

The steam grew thicker, obscuring the moonlight and the vibrant spring colors of the garden.
