It's already 2026, how can we still talk about having many children and having many blessings?

Chen Mo was completely stunned.

What the hell!

Are they really giving away a house? Or a luxurious penthouse?

System, you are a god.

He stared at the line of text on the system screen: "Xiangsi Lake Residence Grand Flat, 337 square meters", 6 bedrooms, 2 living rooms and 5 bathrooms, and his mind went blank.

A text message from my mobile banking app popped up.

Another 100,000.

The feeling of the numbers in my card jumping up is fucking awesome.

Immediately afterwards, a surge of heat rushed up my spine and straight to the back of my head.

A master of modern mixed martial arts, countless moves, footwork, and power techniques have been mentally reviewed, and muscle memory is generated simultaneously.

He clenched his fist unconsciously, his knuckles cracking.

This was practically made for his ever-growing physique.

"System, open the offspring map."

The light screen in my mind unfolded, and red dots flickered.

He zoomed in on the map, and then zoomed in again.

"Huh? It's also at Xiangsi Lake Residence?"

The location of that red dot is in the same community as the large flat apartment the system gave us.

Could the house awarded as a reward be related to where the child lives?

interesting.

I'm going to pick up the apartment tomorrow and also confirm the baby and the birth mother.

He put his phone in his pocket and pushed open the door.

Li Qiang had just returned and was sitting on a plastic stool taking off his shoes.

"Brother Qiang, just got back? How was your day?"

"After running this far, and deducting all costs, I've only made sixty yuan."

Li Qiang kicked his shoes aside and tilted his head back to gulp down half a bottle of mineral water.

"I wasn't familiar with some of the roads, and the navigation took me around several times. One order even went the wrong way, and I got yelled at by the customer and almost got a bad review."

Chen Mo placed the bag of fruit in front of Li Qiang.

"Try it, Musang King durian, it's imported."

"Ha, I'm starving."

Li couldn't wait to open it, picked up a piece, and started eating.

"Holy crap, this tastes amazing! How much does this cost?"

"Not much. Brother Qiang, don't rush about the car. You'll get used to the routes in half a month. When I was a ride-hailing driver, I only made enough to cover my rent in a month. You're better off than I was back then; at least you have an experienced driver to guide you."

Li Qiang chewed on a durian and chuckled twice.

"Xiao Mo, you're getting better and better at talking."

"Alright, get some rest." Chen Mo patted his shoulder. "I'll look for a place to live tomorrow. We'll stay in a hotel tonight."

"Why stay in a hotel? It's a waste of money. Why don't you squeeze in with me?"

"Squeeze my ass." Chen Mo laughed. "Your snoring is so loud, only your wife could probably stand it. Besides, I'm single, I need to find some fun tonight, right?"

Li Qiang paused for a moment, then gave a meaningful smile.

"Alright, kid, watch your step."

Chen Mo took his luggage, went to the car, and called a designated driver.

On the bus, he opened a mobile app to find a hotel.

There are many hotels and guesthouses near Xiangsi Lake Residence.

He wanted to find a place that offered massage and foot baths so he could relax properly tonight.

The search results popped up, and the first one listed was Xiangsi Lake Hotel.

It's a four-star hotel with a high-end massage parlor, and the reviews are pretty good.

Chen Mo frowned.

This seems to be the place where Wang Sicheng will hold his one-month celebration tomorrow.

Zhao Siman...

He leaned back in the back seat and closed his eyes.

First love.

It sounds rather sentimental.

After graduation, she returned to her hometown to become a teacher, while he went to work for a private company…

He worked desperately hard to earn money so he could marry her.

Gradually, neither of them mentioned breaking up, but they communicated less and less, and their phone calls became shorter and shorter, until one day she changed her number without telling him.

He stopped bothering her.

I only found out now that she got married, and to Wang Sicheng no less.

That effeminate man, speaking in a high-pitched voice like a woman, almost cracked his skull open with a punch.

Hey, Xiang Nan is right. Zhao Siman disliked Wang Sicheng back then, but she stopped disliking him after entering the workforce.

Chen Mo opened his eyes and picked up his phone again.

Okay, let's go with the Xiangsi Lake Hotel.

You might not run into someone you know tomorrow. If you do, just avoid them.

It's the off-season for tourism now, so rooms aren't in short supply.

He selected a room type that included a massage package and placed an order.

The car was parked in the underground parking lot of Xiangsi Lake Hotel.

Chen Mo carried his luggage to the lobby and checked in.

Take the elevator to the 18th floor, swipe your card to open the door.

The room was bigger than he had imagined.

The entrance hall features floor-to-ceiling windows offering a view of the night scene at Xiangsi Lake.

The room has a separate reception area with a genuine leather sofa and a fruit platter and welcome card on the coffee table.

The bed was big enough for four people to sleep in, the bedding was very white, and a fresh lily was placed on it.

Chen Mo stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and looked at the lake view for a while.

He recalled working in another province before, staying in a small hotel next to the train station. It cost sixty yuan a night. The room was tiny, the walls were moldy, and he could hear the sounds of the neighbors playing cards with prostitutes next door.

Now, it's a four-star hotel with a lake view and a massage package.

Being rich is fucking great.

He took a shower, and just then the doorbell rang.

Upon opening the door, a young girl stood in the doorway, wearing the hotel uniform, a white shirt tucked into a black pencil skirt, her hair styled in a bun, revealing her clean forehead.

She looked to be in her early twenties, with light makeup, bright eyes, a tall figure, and two small tiger teeth when she smiled.

"Hello Mr. Chen, I am your personal technician, Xiao Su. You have booked a full-body meridian massage, which will last for ninety minutes."

"Come in."

Xiao Su pushed the massage bed in, quickly laid out a disposable sheet, and lit aromatherapy.

Chen Mo was lying face down on the massage bed, wearing a bathrobe.

Xiao Su's technique was better than he expected.

It wasn't just a perfunctory rub; it was genuinely powerful, professional, and very comfortable.

He had been to many massage parlors, but none of them were as good as her.

Sure enough, someone who can do this in a hotel like this must be really skilled.

"Your technique is good. How long have you been doing this?"

"It's been more than two years."

"You look so young and beautiful, why are you doing this?"

"I am a student at Ningcheng Finance and Economics College. I am doing this part-time job. My grandfather was a barefoot doctor. I learned traditional massage from him when I was a child, so I came here to do this."

Chen Mo didn't ask any more questions.

When the ninety minutes were up, Chen Mo almost fell asleep.

"Mr. Chen, it's time," Xiao Su said softly.

"Add another bell."

Xiao Su was stunned for a moment.

"Okay."

The atmosphere became more relaxed when we added more time.

She chatted while pressing the buttons, saying that she studied accounting in school and wanted to work in an accounting firm after graduation, but it was difficult to pass the exam and the competition was too fierce.

Soon, a bell rang.

"Mr. Chen, I'll be going now."

She stood up and packed her things.

Looking at the swaying bodycon skirt in front of him, Chen Mo couldn't help but joke, "Xiao Su, do you offer any other services here?"

Xiao Su was taken aback for a moment. "Mr. Chen, we're offering a legitimate massage."

"Haha, just kidding, I'm a decent person too."

He sat up, stretched his shoulders, and took out a few bills from his wallet and handed them to her.

"Here's a tip for you. Your technique was good. I'll tip you back next time I come."

"Thank you, Brother Chen..."

Xiao Su took the money but didn't leave. She took a deep breath, bit her lip, and sat down next to Chen Mo.

Chen Mo was stunned.

Huh? Wasn't this supposed to be a proper massage?
