After he arrived at a quiet place, Tang Xiao entered the primordial divine ark to look for Tang Yin. Xiao Ai told him that she and Yu Xiaoling were at the hot spring, so he decided to follow them there.
Yu Xiaoling was embarrassed by Tang Xiao's arrival, and she covered her upper body with her hands while turning her red face to the side.
Despite the allure of Yu Xiaolong's body, Tang Xiao appeared indifferent to them. He undressed himself before entering the pool, causing her to flush in embarrassment at the sight of his dick. However, she was also shocked because Tang Yin was present, but he was casually naked in front of her. 'Are they having a strange relationship?'
Tang Yin smirked faintly upon noticing Yu Xiaolong's expressions, but she said nothing. "Why did you come back so early? I thought you were going back to Ouyang House."
"I have a gift for you, and I believe you will like it." Tang Xiao said as he took out a small box, revealing a ring inside that made Tang Yin's eyes sparkle. "Do you like this ring? At first, I wanted to find another gift for you, but I thought this ring was much more suitable for a beauty like you."
Seeing the ring, Yu Xiaoling was jealous of Tang Yin, as she knew that pink diamond was exorbitantly expensive, and she couldn't afford to buy it.
Tears of joy dripped from Tang Yin's eyes, and she hugged Tang Xiao directly. "Yes! I like this ring so much! It is the first gift you gave me outside of birthday gifts in the past, so I will always treasure it."
"I'm glad you like it." Tang Xiao hugged her back while rubbing her cheeks, making Yu Xiaoling feel even more strange about the relationship between the two.
"Hehe." Tang Yin giggled before looking at Yu Xiaoling. "Don't you want to have sex with her? Her body is still good even though she has given birth before."
Yu Xiaoling was utterly shocked to hear Tang Yin's question to Tang Xiao, and she covered her breasts before moving away from them, as she was afraid that he would force her to have sex with him.
"Haha." Tang Yin laughed at her reaction. "She's a shy rabbit, so you have to be an aggressive wolf toward her."
Tang Xiao shook his head slightly. "Have you seen Aunt Qing?"
"We just finished tidying up the production of those products, and I brought her here to freshen up." Tang Yin then stood up and got out of the pool. "I'm going to see Aunt Qing now, and you can have fun with your third love."
"Xiaoling, come here." Yu Xiaoling didn't dare approach Tang Xiao, but he suddenly moved to sit beside her before she could blink. He pulled her onto his lap with her back against his chest, and he hugged her waist from behind. "Don't worry, I'm not that kind of man, so I won't force you to do it with me. Instead, I will bring you down slowly, and you will submit to me completely at that time."
"Then—"
"Don't move!" Tang Xiao then pointed at a screen floating toward them. "In the past, I respected you, and I fell in love with you because of your kindness and consideration, but you destroyed everything with your betrayal. As a teacher, you should know that broken glass can never be repaired, and that's how I feel about you today. You don't know what happened to me when you handed me over to Ouyang Qing that day, right? Xiao Ai has an uncut recording of what happened that night, so I want you to watch it, and you will understand why I hate you so much now."
Yu Xiaoling chose not to answer Tang Xiao, but her heart was increasingly filled with guilt because Tang Yin had told her about what happened that night.
Tang Xiao grabbed Yu Xiaoling's face and forced her to look at the screen. "Look at what you did to me back then! Look at what Luo Qinlin did to me that night!"
Yu Xiaolong's lips parted repeatedly, but no words came out of his mouth. Tears quickly welled up in her eyes before flowing down from the corners of them, and her sobs began to echo in the area. "Sob... Sorry... Sob... I'm sorry..."
"Sorry? Does your apology still have any meaning now?" Tang Xiao coldly asked while tightening his grip on her face. "Because of you, I had to experience something like that! Because of you, I had to feel the cold of the prison floor for seven years! What do you think if I treated you like Luo Qinlin treated me that night?"
"Sob... Sob..." Yu Xiaoling didn't answer Tang Xiao, and only her sobs continued to be heard. Her body was shaking because of the video in front of her eyes, and she was also shaking because she was afraid that he would treat her like that. "Sob... Sob..."
"You are lucky because you were kind to me in the past, but your past kindness was not enough to make up for your betrayal of me. Even though you have lost your life, your husband, and your child, all of that is still not enough to atone for your betrayal." Tang Xiao immediately moved Yu Xiaoling aside and left the pool. "I won't do anything to you now, but you must always remember that you are our servant now, so act as one!"
After Tang Xiao left, Yu Xiaoling cried even harder as she listened to Luo Qinlin's voice from the video. She hugged her legs tightly, her body constantly trembling, and her sobs grew louder.
Tang Xiao was familiar with Yu Xiaoling's character, and he deliberately showed her the video of that day's events to make her feel even more guilty toward him.
After leaving the hot spring, Tang Xiao went to the training ground. However, he didn't practice using the gravity feature; instead, he practiced all the techniques in his possession, particularly since he had not yet mastered them all.

Tang Yin was already sitting opposite Zhao Qing, and she looked at several photos of the buildings in front of her to choose a suitable building for her office and shop. Her eyes fell on a three-story building that was quite large, and the building was also quite spacious based on written data.
"This three-story building will be suitable for our office and shop later, Aunt Qing." Tang Yin said this as she handed the photo to her aunt. "We can use the first floor for our shop, the second floor for our warehouse, and the third floor for our office."
Zhao Qing nodded in agreement with her niece, especially since the building was quite spacious and the price wasn't too expensive either. "In that case, I will buy this building as quickly as possible to prevent other people from getting ahead of us. After that, I will take care of obtaining the licenses and patents for our products; otherwise, we may face difficulties in selling them. Moreover, people will try to copy our products if they sell well in the market later, so we have to secure everything first."
"I'll leave those matters to you, Aunt Qing." Tang Yin then asked her. "Have you found suitable people to work with us?"
Zhao Qing took out some documents from her desk drawer and handed them to Tang Yin. "I asked my friends to help find some women who fit your criteria, but they only provided me with information about these three women, so we still have to look for two more people. First is Liao Yuxi, 24 years old. She still works for one of the big online commerce companies, but she wanted to resign to find a better income. Second is Lin Qingxue, 28 years old. She is the former head of the warehouse at my friend's company, but she decided to resign because she lived too far away. The third is Qiao Yumei, 35 years old, and she has experience as a marketing manager, but she is unemployed right now because her company is closed due to a conflict of interest between the owners."
"Hmm?" As she saw the photos of the three women, Tang Yin kept nodding her head. "Please recruit these three after you buy the building, Aunt Qing. Our products are currently partially ready, and once we receive their licenses and patents, we will launch our new business. By the way, I have a prospective employee, and I'll go see her after this; therefore, you just need to find another female employee."
"I will contact them to come here in three days, and you should also come here to meet them." Tang Yin agreed with that, and Zhao Qing handed her another document. "I chose Fu Chen as the ambassador for our products. She is a rising actress, and the fees for her services are not too expensive."
"Oh?" Tang Yin was surprised to hear about the woman. "I didn't expect that Fu Chen has become an actress now, which means she has achieved her dream."
"Do you know her?"
Tang Yin nodded to her aunt. "Fu Chen was one of my friends in college, and our relationship was quite close back then. However, seven years have passed, so I don't know whether she still recognizes me or not. Please discuss our cooperation with her as soon as possible, and I hope she is willing to become our ambassador."
"Alright." Zhao Qing then asked her niece. "Do you want to join me? Tomorrow is your grandfather's birthday, so I'm going to Zhao House today, and I'll stay there for two days."
"No." Tang Yin rejected her without a second thought. "Zhao Teng is our biological grandfather, but Xiao'er and I would rather not have any relationship with him, and you surely know our reasons, right, Aunt Qing?"
Zhao Qing was speechless after hearing that, and she naturally knew the reason why they hated their grandfather. Tang Ye was indeed the most successful man back then, but Zhao Teng never liked him, and he was never willing to bless his marriage with Zhao Jing. Therefore, he never regarded his nephew and niece as grandchildren, and he consistently treated them poorly whenever they visited the Zhao House. "Where is Xiao'er? Why didn't he accompany you?"
"Xiao'er is busy with something else." Tang Yin then got up from her seat. "Aunt Qing, I will go to see that woman now, and you can go to that old man's house."
Zhao Qing could only sigh because of Tang Yin's attitude, but she couldn't blame her because their bad relationship was her father's fault, and she then also left the office afterwards.
