Xiaoxian’s belly was now very noticeable, and at five and a half months pregnant, she already felt a bit of discomfort when walking. Fortunately, her daughter was very well-behaved; apart from needing to sleep for 16 hours a day at the beginning, there were no other issues, which made both Jifeng and Xiaoxian extremely relieved. When they chatted about it, both said that their precious daughter would likely be a quiet little girl in the future.

Holding Xiaoxian, who had applied sunscreen, Jifeng stood on the construction site of their new home, watching the workers who were still busy sweating profusely. Jeju Island in early June was already quite warm, with scenery far surpassing that of winter. Everywhere was lush with greenery and various flowers in full bloom. Compared to Hainan Island, the seasons here were much more distinct, and even in the scorching summer, it felt like spring, without the intense heat.

"OPPA, can this place really be completed and ready to move into within two months? Isn’t it said that new homes have some odors and formaldehyde? Should we wait a bit longer before moving in?" Xiaoxian was somewhat worried, but the excitement and anticipation in her eyes betrayed her thoughts.

After Jifeng increased the workers' overtime pay, the overall construction of the new home was already complete, and it had now moved on to interior decoration. The private beach had also been expanded, and several hundred coconut trees, several meters tall, had been planted behind the beach. Not far from the sea, a wooden private pier extended out, and Jifeng’s newly ordered yacht would arrive in the fall. The green grass had also been planted and was now taking root and growing, making it soft and comfortable to walk on. In the future, even if children played on the grass, there would be no need to worry about them falling and getting hurt.

The new home was only three stories high at its tallest, with most of the area being two-story buildings, so the construction was quite fast. If it weren’t for the time spent on the underground part, it would have been ready to move into in half a year.

Jifeng smiled and led Xiaoxian inside, saying, "Honey, what you mentioned does exist, but all the materials we chose are of the highest environmental standards, so the situation you’re worried about won’t happen. You’ll see when you go inside."

The two toured the new home, and Xiaoxian was delighted like a little girl. There was indeed no odor to worry about; the air only had a slightly damp smell and the scent of natural wood, which was not only harmless to the human body but also had the effect of refreshing the mind and providing a slight health benefit.

Standing at the highest point of the new home, they could see the garden in full bloom. Various flowers that had been planned and planted in spring were now in full bloom, and in the slightly misty rain, the garden had a misty, ethereal atmosphere, like a fairyland, making Xiaoxian feel enchanted.

Further away, a hot spring gushed from underground, forming a small artificial waterfall on a hill several dozen meters high. The hot spring water flowed through a winding artificial river, passed through the new home, and finally entered an artificial lake before flowing into the sea to the south. On both sides of the river, willows that Jifeng liked had already extended countless branches.

To avoid the heat of summer, the water source of the small waterfall could be switched. In summer, the hot spring could be blocked, and a system to draw seawater from the ocean could be activated to provide cooler water. In the autumn and winter, the hot spring could be reopened to provide heating water for the entire building, and Xiaoxian could enjoy a hot spring bath whenever she wanted, all year round.

Although the new home was not yet fully completed, the numerous beautiful scenes had already captured the attention of Xiaoxian and Jifeng. Occasionally, a group of tourists would try to come in for a visit, but the security guards would not allow any outsiders to enter.

Seeing that the rain was getting heavier, Jifeng quickly led Xiaoxian back to the hotel to avoid catching a cold, although the possibility was minimal.

Back at the hotel, Jifeng prepared a steaming cup of ginseng tea for Xiaoxian and said with a smile, "Honey, drink this to warm up, so you don’t catch a cold."

Xiaoxian’s face showed a bit of reluctance as she said, "OPPA, I don’t want to drink this."

Jifeng quickly tried to persuade her, listing all the benefits for the fetus. Xiaoxian, not wanting to listen to his nagging, reluctantly drank it all.

Handing the cup to Jifeng, she said, "Go get me a cold cola, I want to drink cola."

Jifeng, somewhat amused, held the cup and, seeing Xiaoxian’s pleading eyes, reluctantly got up to fetch a bottle of cold Pepsi for her, and one for himself. Jifeng had a particular fondness for Pepsi among carbonated drinks, even though Coca-Cola was also good, he felt it didn’t suit him. It turned out that Xiaoxian felt the same way, and the two were truly a well-matched couple.

From then on, Jifeng used the excuse of accompanying Xiaoxian to leave all the affairs to his subordinates. As the boss, he wasn’t there to suffer. If he were busy all day on the island, what would be the point of having over 300,000 island residents?

Occasionally, he would take Xiaoxian to the fish farm and the ranch, but most of the time, they would swim, play ball, watch movies, or hide in the study to smoke and drink cola, chatting casually with friends. Life was very comfortable.

The new grass at the ranch, after being treated with the water from Jifeng’s space, grew so well that it was a joy to see. In just over two months, the new grass had grown to 60 centimeters, and according to the livestock experts, it was still in the growth stage, and it could easily grow to a meter high.

This discovery delighted the ranch employees, as it would make storing hay for the winter much easier. The 1,000 dairy and beef cattle from the United States had adapted to the new environment and were grazing leisurely on the old ranch, growing strong and healthy.

At Jifeng’s insistence, the slaughterhouse had opened, currently focusing on Korean cattle, with the American cattle not yet ready. However, by winter, at the latest by the following spring, they would be ready for slaughter.

As spring gradually passed, many of the cows at the ranch, both dairy and beef, were pregnant, and some were already showing, which made Jifeng and Xiaoxian very happy.

Jifeng planned to release the cattle from his space in the fall. After six months, the two herds in the space had grown from 100 to over 600, and the reproduction rate was indeed very fast. Even the baby elephants in the space had grown to five.

The only thing that troubled Jifeng was the chickens and fish, whose reproduction rate was much faster than the cattle. Especially the fish in the lake, which had grown to over a million after the last harvest. Jifeng was thinking about when to release a batch, otherwise, the lake might soon be overpopulated.

Fortunately, the water plants in the space lake did not decrease due to the large number of fish, which was a small comfort.

The chickens in the space were growing larger, and Jifeng would collect the eggs, which were the size of duck eggs, every night before his training, to prevent the chickens from hatching more chicks.

As a result, Jifeng’s space hall was already filled with tens of thousands of eggs, and he had no idea what to do with them. He and Xiaoxian couldn’t possibly eat them all, even if they ate a thousand eggs a day. He decided to take them to Grandpa Tang’s shop and let anyone who liked them take them home. To his surprise, Grandpa Tang sold the eggs at a good price, and the money Jifeng made from selling eggs had already covered the cost of buying Japanese bonds.

The Jeju Lake fish farm, under Xiaoxian’s name, also entered a period of vigorous growth. Thanks to the water from the space lake, the water plants in Jeju Lake had all survived and were growing very well, providing abundant food for the fish.

However, as the fish grew faster, the water plants, which had been planted for a short time, could not keep up with the rapid consumption. Zheng Junshou, who was closely monitoring the situation, promptly reported it to Xiaoxian and Jifeng. Since the ranch didn’t need so much grass, Jifeng had him contact the ranch to harvest some of the new grass and throw it into Jeju Lake.

To their surprise, this method worked well. The fish liked the new grass from the ranch just as much as the other plants, which made Jifeng marvel at the quality of the space’s products.

The leisurely days passed quickly, and with the arrival of Xiaoxian’s birthday in late June and the annual Jeju Island Festival, although Xiaoxian received delicious food and a large diamond ring from Jifeng, in her heart, the Jeju Island Festival was the best gift.

Originally, Jifeng had planned to throw a grand birthday party for Xiaoxian, but at seven months pregnant, she was not suitable for such an occasion, and Xiaoxian herself didn’t like it, preferring to wait quietly for her daughter’s birth.

However, Jifeng still held a small celebration for her, inviting his brothers, the other eight members of Girls' Generation, and some of Xiaoxian’s classmates.

After the birthday party, Xiaoxian, who had a bit of a gossiping nature, secretly observed the interactions between Sooyoung and Hyoyeon, unsure whether to be happy or worried. The cold and unfeeling leader and Sooyoung seemed to have some issues recently, with Sooyoung being cold to him, and the leader not being as proactive. Additionally, at the party, she and Hyoyeon had almost no interaction with the leader and the fourth member, which made Xiaoxian feel a bit disappointed. As a sister-in-law and a wife, after getting to know them better, Xiaoxian thought they were good people, except that the leader was a bit too flirtatious.

But thinking about the question her mother had raised, whether to find another woman for her man, Xiaoxian’s heart became conflicted. If she were to find someone, who should it be? If not, how would she satisfy his increasingly strong physical needs? It was a truly perplexing problem.
