Chapter 15: Windfall and Waves
The golden morning sunlight filtered through the gauzy curtains of Ye Tian's bedroom, casting soft patterns across the room. He slowly opened his eyes, a relaxed smile tugging at the corners of his lips. The events of last night replayed briefly in his mind—from the Moon Hotel gathering to the shocking rescue that had unlocked his hidden identity.
He stretched lazily and turned to his bedside table where his phone blinked with system notifications. A familiar chime rang out.
[DING! System Alert]
> Your current assets have been updated: Bank Balance: ¥102,840,000 Properties: Qinglong Private Hospital, Courtyard Residence Shares: Moon Hotel (15%) - Quarterly Dividends Credited: ¥47 million
Ye Tian sat up straighter. "Over a hundred million already," he muttered, still not entirely used to the surreal nature of his new life. Just a few days ago, he was scrounging for bus fare. Now, he could buy an entire building with spare change.
Another chime followed.

Ye Tian's eyes lit up. "Perfect."
Without hesitation, he tapped [Purchase]. A shimmering vial of glowing blue liquid materialized in his hand. The container was cool to the touch, humming faintly with power. Without further delay, he downed it in one gulp.
The effects hit almost immediately. Heat surged through his body, coursing through his limbs like fire. Muscles contracted, then relaxed. His bones felt stronger, denser. Every fiber of his being felt alive, charged.
His breathing steadied, sharper, as if his lungs had expanded. He leaped lightly from the bed and moved to the mirror.
Though subtle, the changes were undeniable. His frame looked a touch broader, his skin clearer, eyes brighter. His every movement now carried a sense of silent power.

He exhaled in satisfaction, putting on a sleek, casual outfit before heading downstairs.
As he descended, two giggling voices greeted him.
"Uncle Tian! Uncle Tian!"
His two nieces, bubbly and full of energy, ran over and clung to his arms. Dressed in matching pink dresses, they beamed up at him.
"It's our holiday today! Let's do something fun!"
Ye Tian laughed, ruffling their hair. "You two planned this ambush, didn't you?"
They nodded in unison,then he asked where is miaomiao
As the twins were about to reply -
Miaomiao said" I am here " ,she was hiding behind the curtain as she was a shy girl.
Ye Tian picked her up ,as he kissed her on her chubby cheeks making her a little shy and happy.
He was about to suggest breakfast when his phone buzzed.
[Incoming Call: Lingjia Sea Resort Office]
He picked up. "Hello?"
"Mr. Ye Tian? We're calling to confirm that all paperwork for the Lingjia Sea Resort has been finalized. You are now the legal owner. Congratulations."
A pleased hum escaped his lips. "Understood. Thank you."
Mr. Ye we wanted to ask ,when you are coming to inspect the resort.
He thought about something as he told them he will be visiting today, as he hung up and turned to his nieces. "Looks like we have a new place to visit. Want to come see the sea with me?"
They gasped in delight. "Yes! Yes!
He was happy to see his nieces were jumping in joy, as he went to ask everyone about visiting the resort to his surprise every one was busy and told him take the children with him.
As his eldest sister has to go to handle some work in the company and third sister was pregnant so hoa Mom and Dad have to take care of her .
So , he decided to take the children with him but as he was about to tell the girls to get ready , the twins asked "Can our teacher come too? Please?"
Ye Tian raised an eyebrow. "Teacher?"
"Mm-hmm! She's super nice and pretty! And she said she's never been to the beach before."
He chuckled. "Alright. But you'll have to call and ask her yourselves. I'll wait."
The girls ran off excitedly to find their tablets. Ye Tian watched them go, warmth blooming in his chest. Moments like these made his fortune worthwhile.
He walked out to the courtyard, letting the morning breeze wash over him. The magnolia trees rustled gently, and the koi pond shimmered with golden light. For all his recent gains—wealth, power, hidden identities—this serene life with family felt most precious.
His phone buzzed again, this time a text from the system.

He smiled to himself. "A vacation it is, then."
