"I'm being serious with you, not joking. I think Shanshan's feelings for you have gone beyond simple affection for a brother-in-law," Li Sisi said seriously.

Yi Anguo felt somewhat at a loss. He shook his head and said, "Maybe you're overthinking it. She probably just sees me as her brother-in-law, like an older brother. Shanshan only has two older sisters and no brothers. A brother-in-law is pretty much the same as a brother. I'm with you, her oldest sister, so how could she possibly have any other designs on me? She knows it's impossible. Shanshan is a smart and sensible girl; she wouldn't be foolish enough to make a mistake like that."

Of course, Yi Anguo wasn't completely oblivious to how Li Shanshan felt about him or the way she looked at him. Though he wasn't exactly a good man and not the type to be faithful to one woman for his entire life, he still had his principles. Since Li Sisi was his woman, he wouldn't entertain the idea of getting involved with her sister, as it could easily lead to serious trouble. If he messed around with other women and Li Sisi found out, how angry could she possibly get? At worst, they'd break up and go their separate ways. But if he were to make a move on her sister, it would be a different story altogether. When a woman gets vicious, she might even scare herself. He could very well end up dead. Therefore, Yi Anguo had always been careful to keep his distance from Li Shanshan, and he did the same with Hu Jing's sister, Hu Qian. Beautiful women were everywhere; there was no need to go after his own woman's sister, stirring up chaos at home and causing trouble for himself.

Li Sisi fell silent. She knew Yi Anguo was telling the truth. Her sister, Li Shanshan, had feelings for him, but that was only something she had sensed. Of course, her sister would never tell her directly that she'd fallen for her brother-in-law. And Yi Anguo, given his relationship with her, would never confess that he had feelings for her sister either.

After finishing a bottle of red wine, they went into a lounge to rest. Yi Anguo told Li Sisi his plan to relocate to the business center in the fourth phase of Blue Coast. The current location would be downsized to a 200-square-meter storefront for the real estate agency, with the rest of the space going to Chuan Yu Restaurant for expansion.

「Soon, schools across the country began to let out for summer break.」

Chen Di Company's team-building vacation, after a period of preparation, was about to officially begin. According to the latest statistics, 328 people had signed up. The original flight from Shenzhen to Sanya could only hold about 200 passengers, but after negotiations, a larger plane capable of carrying 350 was chartered for the trip. As for the funding, thanks to the generous support from the managers, deputy managers, and directors of various departments, there was more than enough, with even some left over.

After much thought, Yi Anguo decided not to invite Li Sisi to Sanya. Firstly, weekends were the busiest time for the shop, so she likely wouldn't agree to go even if he asked. Secondly, he wanted to avoid any unnecessary trouble, especially since Chen Ting would be there. If Li Sisi wasn't going, there was no way he would invite Li Shanshan either.

In the end, Yi Anguo decided to go with Hu Jing, Hu Qian, and of course, his beloved daughter.

Many of the company's managers and executives brought their families, including about twenty children. They took several buses to the airport and entered the tarmac together through a special channel. After all, it was a charter flight for a large company, so they naturally had priority. Yi Anguo, Chen Ting, and the other senior executives sat in the best seats. Everyone had contributed a decent amount of money, so this bit of priority was warranted. Besides, who would compete with their bosses for a good seat? For 300 yuan, getting to fly at all was a good deal. You couldn't expect first class for that price.

Upon arriving in Sanya, they checked into a seaside hotel. When the rooms were allocated, regular employees naturally got standard double rooms, while managers received better ones. No one complained; there's no such thing as absolute fairness in this world. Besides, those who paid more had every right to enjoy better treatment.

This was Hu Jing and Hu Qian's first time in Sanya. Seeing the many bikini-clad beauties on the beach, Hu Qian chuckled, "No wonder so many men love traveling to Sanya. It's to ogle all these women in bikinis, isn't it?"

"We're at the beach, so of course everyone goes swimming! Everyone's in a swimsuit. You can't exactly forbid men from looking!" Hu Jing was somewhat unfazed. She had often seen lingerie model contests and pageants like Miss Hong Kong and Miss Universe on TV, where contestants all walked the runway in underwear and swimsuits, flaunting their figures for the judges. Moreover, they had been to the beaches in Shenzhen City before, and there were plenty of women in swimsuits there too. "The ones in bikinis are still pretty conservative," Hu Jing added. "Look at those over there. Aside from the essentials, they're practically naked."

"Yeah! Look at that woman in the thong. Her entire butt is showing. It's like she's not wearing anything at all," Hu Qian said, pointing to a woman up ahead. "Sis, what kind of swimsuit are you going to wear?"

"What do you think? Our swimsuits are the same, aren't they? You saw them last time," Hu Jing replied.

"Last time? You mean when we went to the beach last summer?" Hu Qian asked. "Those suits are so old-fashioned! They're not sexy at all and do nothing for our figures. I don't want to wear something so dated. Let's go buy the latest style. We'll make Brother-in-law drool when he sees us, so other girls don't steal him away."

"No way!" Hu Jing said sternly. "Why wear something so trendy and revealing? You'll just attract a bunch of shameless hooligans. Don't go looking for trouble.

"Otherwise, I'll tell your brother-in-law not to take you out anymore, especially not to the beach."

Chen Ting looked at the great figures of the twin sisters, Hu Jing and Hu Qian, then down at her own slightly chubby frame, and couldn't help but feel a pang of envy. She rarely went to the beach or wore a swimsuit, precisely because she didn't want people to see her body. Even though she didn't think she was that heavy, she still felt uncomfortable whenever she saw slender girls. But what could she do? Her mother had a plump figure, and her father's... well, the less said about that, the better.

"Why aren't you guys changing into your swimsuits for a swim?" Yi Anguo asked, walking over in his swimming trunks.

"Wow, Brother-in-law! You're fast! You're already changed," Hu Qian exclaimed. "Wait for us! My sister and I are going to change right now. We'll swim together!"

"Alright, hurry up then! Don't dawdle," Yi Anguo said. "The sun is brutal out here. I'm going to get burned to a crisp."

"No worries!" Hu Qian called back to Yi Anguo with a laugh, pulling her sister along. "Once I'm changed, I'll put sunscreen on you so you won't get burned!"

"Chen Ting, why are you still just standing here?" Yi Anguo asked, turning to her. "Aren't you going to change and join us for a swim?"

"I... I think I'll just watch you guys," Chen Ting said after a moment's hesitation.
