Power and Wealth

Chapter 1513 – Restless

Noon.

It was past noon.

The sun was scorching, bathing everything in its light.

Fortunately, the air was refreshingly clear after the rain. The droplets on the leaves and the water puddles evaporating along the roadside made the temperature very comfortable, not too hot. Locals and tourists emerged from their homes and hotels, gazing at the rainbow in the sky.

“What beautiful weather.”

“Yeah, is your leg still hurting?”

“Hehe, much better now.”

“Let me help you.”

“I’m not that old yet.”

“You’re young and beautiful. Everyone would think you’re in your thirties.”

“You have a sweet tongue. Where’s the car? I’m not familiar with the roads.”

“I remember. It’s just ahead. You can see it now. The rain last night must have cleaned it up. The car looks so shiny.”

Outside the farmhouse courtyard.

The Land Rover was parked quietly there.

Dong Xuebing and Jiang Min got out of the car one after the other. It was time for lunch, and more people were around now, with cars constantly arriving and departing.

“Shall we change clothes here?” Dong Xuebing asked uncertainly.

“Isn’t there a barrier for the car?” Jiang Min looked around.

Dong Xuebing smiled bitterly. “Even if there were, it wouldn’t cover 360 degrees.”

“Your pants are wet. Just change into another pair. It’s not that complicated.” Jiang Min took out a pair of pants from the luggage.

Dong Xuebing also found his pants. “It’s better than letting people see. I’ll go ask if there’s a public restroom nearby.”

“Okay,” Jiang Min agreed.

Dong Xuebing got out of the car and asked a local. The person pointed in the distance and said something in the local dialect that Dong Xuebing couldn’t understand due to the heavy accent. But he got the gist from the gestures and returned to the driver’s seat. “It’s ahead. Let’s drive over.”

Jiang Min nodded. “Okay.”

“Hey, there should be a restaurant here. How about…”

“We just had roast lamb legs yesterday. Let’s not eat here. It doesn’t feel right to use someone else’s restroom without eating,” Jiang Min suggested.

“Then let’s keep going. What do you want for lunch?”

“I noticed you have plenty of food in the car—hamburgers, sandwiches…”

“Well, those were bought from the supermarket yesterday. I was going to make do myself, but since I ran into you, I can’t just eat those,” Dong Xuebing said.

“You don’t have to be so considerate. Let’s have those for lunch,” Jiang Min insisted.

“Are you sure?”

“I don’t want them to go to waste. The expiration date isn’t long.”

“Okay, then. Let me get them for you.”

Jiang Min could tell that Dong Xuebing knew how to manage life. Well, at their age, there weren’t many who didn’t know how to live. Otherwise, they would be pretty foolish. Dong Xuebing was quite adept at life, but he was also very concerned about his image, so with Jiang Min around, he made an effort to take care of her. It was also a sign of respect for Jiang Min. If he were alone, he would eat whatever was available, rarely picky.

The car started.

Dong Xuebing drove in the direction the local had pointed, which was also the direction back to Beijing.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Jiang Min opened a bottle of water and ate a sandwich. “I think we should visit the next town in this direction.”

“We’re not taking the highway?”

“If you’re not in a hurry, let’s explore around here.”

“I’m in no rush. Alright, let’s do that.”

“I heard that the nearby ancient towns are quite nice.”

“Alright, let’s head there. We’ll play around in the afternoon and see how it goes in the evening. If not, we can stay another night or head to the next city via the highway.”

Five minutes passed.

Ten minutes passed.

After driving for a while, Dong Xuebing still hadn’t found the restroom the local person mentioned. However, he knew that it wouldn’t be as easy to find restrooms here as it was in Beijing, where there were plenty. Facilities would be limited here due to fewer people, and being unfamiliar with the area, he might have missed it by driving past. He didn’t know the exact restroom location, so he continued driving for a moment. Seeing Jiang Min twisting her leg awkwardly while holding the new pants, Dong Xuebing slowly pulled over to the side of the road. He knew Jiang Min must be uncomfortable wearing wet pants.

“I couldn’t find the restroom,” Dong Xuebing said, looking at her. “Let me go ask again.”

Jiang Min replied slowly, “Don’t bother. Just change.”

Dong Xuebing wiped his sweat. “I’m fine, but what about you?”

Jiang Min said, “Let’s both change in the car. You keep an eye out for people.”

“Alright then, I’ll get out and watch. If anyone comes, I’ll let you know.”

Dong Xuebing didn’t know where they were. Few shops and buildings were around, but people and cars were still passing by. The Land Rover’s rear and side windows were tinted; even though it was daytime, the lights weren’t on. People outside couldn’t see inside, except for the front windshield, which was relatively straightforward. After getting out of the car, Dong Xuebing closed the door and stood at the front, partly to watch for people and partly to shield Jiang Min. After standing for a while and waiting for a few people on the other side to pass by, Dong Xuebing nodded to signal it was clear.

Jiang Min unbuckled her belt inside the car and began to take off her pants.

Dong Xuebing naturally wanted to observe from all angles, so he glanced back at the side and rear of the car. He inadvertently caught sight of Jiang Min changing her pants.

Fair legs.

Full buttocks.

Very plump.

Her underwear was also visible.

The visual impact on Dong Xuebing was immense, unlike just hanging there. Seeing Jiang Min in the clothes significantly impacted his visual senses.

But he didn’t dare to look recklessly. After a glance, he quickly looked away.

The Land Rover swayed slightly, indicating that Jiang Min lifted her leg to put on her pants.

After waiting for a minute, Dong Xuebing felt she was almost done. He took advantage of the moment and glanced into the car. Then, the scene of Jiang Min buttoning up her shirt caught his eye. It seemed that her shirt wasn’t completely dry or got a little dirty from the rain. She changed into a new one. At that moment, with only one button fastened in the middle, her white belly was exposed below, and her patterned bra was visible on top.

Incredibly enticing.

Dong Xuebing quickly looked away.

Shortly after, there was a knock on the windshield from inside. Dong Xuebing turned around and saw that Jiang Min had already changed. She wore light blue casual pants and a light-colored shirt, which looked slightly old-fashioned but suited her well. She looked very lovely in them, hugging her figure tightly.

Dong Xuebing got back into the car.

“You should change, too,” Jiang Min said.

Dong Xuebing touched his nose, unbuckled his belt, and removed his pants.

Jiang Min naturally looked ahead, unaware she could see him in her peripheral vision.

Dong Xuebing glanced sideways, feeling embarrassed. He quickly removed his pants, changed into a new pair, and continued driving with a restless heart.
