When Xiao Yufan returned to the Tender Land, the tension in his nerves finally began to ease, and the skin on his exposed arms had already turned slightly red and swollen…
“Honey, what’s wrong with you!”
Seeing Xiao Yufan’s condition, Lin Jiayao’s heart sank, her voice filled with concern. To her now, Xiao Yufan was her entire life.
“It’s nothing, just a minor injury…”
Xiao Yufan shook his head bitterly; he couldn’t exactly tell her that he had been randomly intercepted on the road and forced into a fight. Thinking back, it seemed like he had been getting hurt constantly these past two days—first encountering the Ghost Gun from the Assassin Alliance, then the people from the Huangpu family. Were these days simply his days of suffering?
“Be more careful from now on. If anything ever happened to you, what would we sisters do!”
Although she didn’t know exactly what had happened, Lin Jiayao’s eyes still turned slightly red, stirring a deep sense of gratitude in Xiao Yufan’s heart. Every woman by his side was so considerate. In that moment, he suddenly realized just how lucky he truly was.
Yes, it must be luck. Not many women would willingly share a man with others, even if they were very familiar with one another. Yet for his sake, all of them had silently accepted each other’s presence.
This was a debt he owed…
“Don’t worry, from now on, everything will be fine.”
Looking at her casually scattered long hair, Xiao Yufan smiled, gently brushing and tidying her hair behind her ear. His hand rested gently by her ear, a warm and moist sensation slowly spreading.
Feeling such intimate affection, Lin Jiayao coyly shot Xiao Yufan a glance, saying nothing more, simply enjoying this rare moment alone with him. If it weren’t for Yu Yihan and Qin Menglu having gone out early, they wouldn’t have had this private time together.
“This time, come with me to Linjiang. The Wheel has already gotten on track; there’s no need for you all to stay in the capital anymore.”
As if suddenly remembering something, Xiao Yufan smiled and said. Previously, his three women had chosen to stay in Beijing because of Glory and the Wheel. Now that both Glory and the Wheel were well-established in the capital, there was no need for them to remain there constantly.
“Mm, Menglu and Yihan already told me. This time, if you leave, all of us are going with you!”
Hesitating for a moment, Lin Jiayao finally spoke, but how could Xiao Yufan fail to notice her little thoughts? Just now, he had clearly noticed a fleeting, unusual gleam in her eyes…
“My dear wife, if there’s anything you’re hiding from me, I really will get angry. Between us, is there anything that still needs to be concealed?”
Xiao Yufan didn’t call her out directly, but this little girl should know exactly what he meant by this. Her beautiful eyes blinked slightly, as if trying to read the thoughts in the man’s mind.
“I just wanted my husband to visit my family. My parents have been asking about you already, and I’ve been making excuses before. Now…”
“Isn’t it just that your father wants to see me? Then I’ll go. Why are you being so hesitant all of a sudden!”
Since when had this girl become so cautious with words? Xiao Yufan was somewhat speechless. Yet, thinking about the significance of meeting the parents, he also felt a bit of a headache. Aside from having pretended a few times before, he had never actually met any of their fathers.
“Really…”
Chu Mengyao’s bright eyes sparkled slightly, a hint of joy emerging. After all, if this man was willing to meet her parents, he would surely take responsibility for her. Still, she felt uncertain—would her parents accept her man…
