“Ha ha, watching Lady Yingluo and my husband being so affectionate, we didn’t even want to come out! Would that count as interrupting my husband’s romantic moment?”
After spending some time alone together, Xiao Yufan suddenly recalled the other women hiding nearby. Right at that moment, Meng Lu’s voice floated over.
Upon hearing this, Hu Yingluo’s face turned so red it seemed ready to drip water, causing Xiao Yufan to involuntarily swallow hard. He had never seen such a seductive charm from her before.
“Thank you…”
Her delicate eyebrows slightly lowered, although Yingluo felt somewhat shy, she was genuinely grateful toward these women. She understood why Xiao Yufan cherished every woman around him so deeply—they were all equally remarkable.
“If you speak like this, Yingluo, you’re really being too polite! Who made this little rascal accumulate so many romantic entanglements?”
Nie Shiyun approached Hu Yingluo, took her delicate hand, and spoke with a hint of mock reproach. Although she spoiled this “little pervert,” it didn’t mean Xiao Yufan could act without restraint.
Gently nodding, although Hu Yingluo had not interacted much with these women, she could sense that none of them harbored hostility toward her. Instead, they had created opportunities for her to be alone with this man.
“Now that you’ve returned, don’t leave again. Even if you wanted to leave, I don’t think my husband would allow it!”
Yu Yihan’s face carried a warm smile. Their relationship had once been complicated, but after so much time had passed, even past grievances had long dissipated. Besides, they had once been close friends.
“If possible, I’d love to stay, though it feels like fate is playing tricks on us. Back then, you were the CEO, and now you’ve become a young lady…”
Only in front of this old friend could Hu Yingluo relax a little. Recalling the scenes from two years ago, she felt as if she were dreaming. Previously, that person from the Situ family had wanted to take them both into his harem. Who could have predicted that both of them would fall in love with the same man again?
“If you keep teasing me, Yingluo, don’t blame me for having the sisters tie you up and deliver you to my husband’s bedroom!”
Yu Yihan wasn’t about to back down. This little tease dared to mock her, so naturally she had to respond. Watching his wives bicker, Xiao Yufan was clearly the happiest, secretly hoping that his wife Yihan would actually follow through—what a lucky break that would be for him!
“Honey, why are you smiling so slyly? Are you imagining Sister Yihan really tying up Yingluo and delivering her to your bed?”
Liu Hua, who had been silent until now, chimed in. These three women had once been prominent figures in the capital. Who would have imagined they’d meet again under such circumstances? The sole reason behind all this was Xiao Yufan…
Xiao Yufan, who had been smiling moments ago, suddenly froze. Liu Hua had truly brought up an awkward topic. Instantly, he became the target of disapproving glances from all the women.
“Yingluo, when you said more than one person returned to the country, did you mean besides your Hu family, other aristocratic families have also come back?”
Coughing dryly, Xiao Yufan quickly changed the subject. He was eager to learn about the strength of those who had returned with Yingluo. If there were martial artists stronger than the Foundation Stage, keeping his woman by his side might prove quite challenging.
“Besides Butler An, Fourth Grandpa also came back, and this time, the Hong family, who were invited, traveled back with us!”
A faint smile curved Hu Yingluo’s lips as she recalled that arrogant fellow from the Hong family. If he discovered she was here, he’d definitely cause trouble for this man.
“The hidden Hong family? The one that left China with your Hu family back then? It seems the Gu family has invested significant effort into this martial arts tournament!”
Xiao Yufan wasn’t clueless anymore. He had some knowledge about the hidden aristocratic families’ secrets. The hidden Hong family’s departure from China with the Hu family wasn’t exactly a secret.
“The hidden Gu family has grand ambitions. With such a big commotion, they must have more than just empty threats. They probably aim to become the dominant force among the hidden aristocratic families. If these hidden families truly unite, even formidable entities like the Guardian Temple wouldn’t dare underestimate them!”
Because of Xiao Yufan, Hu Yingluo held no goodwill toward the hidden Gu family. Knowing their ambitions only deepened her resentment.
“Would you mind telling me about Butler An and Fourth Grandpa’s strength? If they really try to take my woman away by force, I should prepare myself, right?”
“Giggle, watching Sister Yingluo and hubby being so affectionate, we really didn’t want to come out. Does this count as interrupting hubby’s good time?”
After spending some time alone together, Xiao Yufan finally remembered the women who were hiding. But just at that moment, Menglu’s voice came through.
Hearing this, Hu Yingluo’s face turned so red it seemed like it might drip water, making Xiao Yufan gulp involuntarily. This kind of charming demeanor was something he was seeing for the first time.
“Thank you…”
Her delicate brows slightly lowered, although Hu Yingluo was somewhat shy, she was genuinely thankful to these women. She also understood why Xiao Yufan deeply loved every woman around him—because each of them was equally outstanding.
“Sister Yingluo, saying that really makes it seem like we’re strangers. Who told this little rascal to stir up so many romantic entanglements!”
Nie Shiyun walked over to Hu Yingluo, took her snow-white hands, and spoke with a hint of reproach. Although she indulged this little wolf, it didn’t mean Xiao Yufan could be unrestrained.
Nodding gently, although Hu Yingluo didn’t have much interaction with these women, she could feel that none of them harbored any hostility towards her. On the contrary, they had provided her with the opportunity to be alone with this man.
“Since you’re back this time, don’t leave again. Even if you wanted to, hubby probably wouldn’t allow it, right?”
Yu Yihan’s face showed a bit more of a smile. The relationship between the two was somewhat complicated, but after so much time, any past grievances had long since dissipated. Besides, the two had once been good friends.
“If possible, I’d like to stay too. It just feels like fate is playing tricks on us. How did the former CEO turn into a little lady…”
Only in front of this old friend could Hu Yingluo relax a bit. Thinking back to the scenes from two years ago, she felt a sense of unreality. That guy from the Situ family had once wanted to take both of them into his harem. Who would have thought they would both fall in love with the same man again.
“Dead Yingluo, if you keep teasing me, do you believe the sisters will tie you up and throw you into hubby’s bedroom today?”
Yu Yihan wasn’t one to back down. This girl dared to tease her, so naturally, she had to respond. Watching his wives bicker, Xiao Yufan was the happiest. He really hoped Yihan would follow through—it would be quite a treat for him.
“Hubby, why are you smiling so slyly? Are you thinking about Sister Yihan really tying Sister Yingluo to your bed?”
Liu Hua, who had been silent until now, chimed in. The three women had once been prominent figures in the capital. Who would have thought they would meet under such circumstances, all because of Xiao Yufan…
Xiao Yufan, who had been all smiles, suddenly froze. Liu Hua really knew how to stir the pot. With that comment, he instantly became the target of the women’s disdain.
“Yingluo, you said more than one person returned to the country. Does that mean your Hu family and people from other families?”
Coughing dryly, Xiao Yufan quickly changed the subject. He wanted to know the strength of those who had returned with Yingluo. If there were internal energy experts above the Houtian realm, it would likely cause many complications if he wanted to keep his woman.
“Besides Manager An, Fourth Grandpa also came back. And the Hong family, who were invited this time, came with us!”
A serene smile crossed Hu Yingluo’s lips as she thought of that arrogant guy from the hidden Hong family. If he knew she was here, he would surely cause trouble for this man.
“The hidden Hong family? The one that left China with your Hu family, right? It seems the Guo family has put a lot of effort into this ancient martial arts gathering!”
Now, Xiao Yufan wasn’t completely in the dark. He knew a bit about the secrets of the hidden families. The hidden Hong family leaving China with the Hu family wasn’t exactly a secret.
“The hidden Guo family has big ambitions. Making such a big fuss, it’s probably not just for show. They likely want to become the overlords of the hidden families. And if the hidden families truly unite, even a powerful entity like the Guardian Temple wouldn’t dare to underestimate them!”
Because of Xiao Yufan, Hu Yingluo had no fondness for the hidden Guo family. And after learning of their ambitions, she felt even more wary.
“Can you tell me about Manager An and Fourth Grandpa’s strength? If they really try to take my woman by force, I need to be prepared.”
“Manager An’s strength is probably at the Ninggong realm. As for Fourth Grandpa, he’s likely… at the Houtian realm!” Seeing through Xiao Yufan’s thoughts, Hu Yingluo smiled.
“Gasp! There really is a Houtian realm internal energy expert!”
Xiao Yufan felt like crying. Even if the Hu family valued the ancient martial arts gathering highly, they wouldn’t just let a Houtian realm internal energy expert tag along casually. It must be because they were afraid Yingluo would stay by Xiao Yufan’s side.
If the Fourth Grandpa Yingluo mentioned was truly a Houtian realm internal energy expert, then even if he fought tooth and nail, he wouldn’t be able to harm him. He was already regretting why he had let the heavy sword Wu Feng and his grandfather meet up. If Wu Feng were here, he would have some leverage.
“Scared?” A seductive smile played on Hu Yingluo’s lips, and a strange light flashed in her eyes.
“Even if it were a Xiantian realm super expert, they couldn’t take you away from me!”
After a moment of hesitation, Xiao Yufan’s eyes grew even more determined. A Houtian realm expert wasn’t enough to scare him to death. Besides, Yingluo had just returned to his side, and he didn’t want her to leave again.
“If I don’t want to leave, no one can take me away from you!”
A warm current flowed through Hu Yingluo’s heart, and a confident smile appeared on her lips. She believed that if she didn’t want to leave, no one could take her away from Xiao Yufan.
Xiao Yufan’s expression froze for a moment. Carefully sensing the aura around Hu Yingluo, a strange smile appeared on his face. He hadn’t noticed before, but this girl’s strength had already reached the peak of the Ninggong realm, much stronger than him.
He clearly remembered that Yingluo had once been an ordinary woman. Who would have thought that after two years, this girl had also become an internal energy expert, and even stronger than him.
“Talk about a blow to the ego. I went through hell and even fought another old guy from the hidden Guo family, and I just barely reached the Ninggong realm. And this girl, she’s already at the peak of the Ninggong realm!”
Pursing his lips, Xiao Yufan muttered. It really was a case of comparing oneself to others and feeling utterly defeated. Although his strength was already considerable, compared to this girl, the difference wasn’t just a little!
“Wow! There’s actually a Post-Heaven Stage martial artist!”
Xiao Yufan was almost in tears. Even if the Hu family valued the martial arts tournament highly, they shouldn’t have brought along a Post-Heaven Stage martial artist casually. More likely, they were worried Yingluo would stay with Xiao Yufan.
If Yingluo’s Fourth Grandpa was indeed a Post-Heaven Stage martial artist, even if he tried his hardest, he wouldn’t be able to harm the man. He was already starting to regret why he had let Heavy Sword Wu Feng reunite with his grandfather. If Wu Feng were here, he’d have more leverage.
“Are you scared now?” Hu Yingluo’s lips curled into a tempting smile, her eyes flashing with unusual light.
“Not even a Post-Heaven Stage martial artist, let alone a Pre-Heaven Stage supreme expert, could ever take you away from me!”
After a moment of hesitation, Xiao Yufan’s gaze grew firmer. It was just a Post-Heaven Stage expert, not something to be terrified of. Besides, Yingluo had just returned to his side, and he certainly didn’t want this girl to leave again.
“If I don’t want to leave, no one can ever take me away from you!”
A warm current surged in Hu Yingluo’s heart, and a confident smile graced her lips. She believed that if she didn’t wish to leave, no one could separate her from Xiao Yufan.
“Giggle, watching Sister Yingluo and hubby being all lovey-dovey, we didn’t even want to come out. Does this count as interrupting hubby’s good time?”
After spending some time alone together, Xiao Yufan finally remembered the women who were hiding. But just at that moment, Monroe’s voice came through.
Hearing this, Hu Yingluo’s face turned so red it seemed like it might drip water, making Xiao Yufan gulp involuntarily. This kind of charming demeanor was something he was seeing for the first time.
“Thank you…”
With her delicate brows slightly lowered, though Hu Yingluo was somewhat shy, she genuinely thanked these women from the bottom of her heart. She also understood why Xiao Yufan deeply loved every woman around him—because each of them was equally outstanding.
“Sister Yingluo, saying that makes it seem like we’re strangers. Who told this little rascal to accumulate so many romantic debts!”
Nie Shiyun walked over to Hu Yingluo, took her snow-white hand, and spoke with a hint of reproach. Although she indulged this little wolf, it didn’t mean Xiao Yufan could act without restraint.
Hu Yingluo nodded gently. Though she didn’t have much interaction with these women, she could sense that none of them harbored any animosity toward her. On the contrary, they had provided her with the opportunity to be alone with this man.
“Now that you’re back, don’t leave again. Even if you wanted to, hubby probably wouldn’t allow it, right?”
Yu Yihan’s face broke into a smile. The relationship between the two was somewhat complicated, but after all this time, any past grievances had long since dissipated. Besides, they had once been good friends.
“If possible, I’d like to stay. It just feels like fate is playing tricks on us. The former CEO has now turned into a little lady…”
Only in front of this old friend could Hu Yingluo let her guard down a bit. Thinking back to the events of two years ago, she felt a sense of surrealism. That guy from the Situ family had once wanted to take both of them into his harem. Who would have thought they would both fall for the same man again.
“Dead Yingluo, if you keep teasing me, do you believe the sisters will tie you up and throw you into hubby’s bedroom today?”
Yu Yihan wasn’t one to back down. This girl dared to tease her, so naturally, she had to respond. Watching his wives bicker, Xiao Yufan was the happiest. He really hoped Yihan would follow through—it would be quite a treat for him.
“Hubby, why are you smiling so slyly? Are you thinking about Sister Yihan really tying Sister Yingluo to your bed?”
Liu Hua, who had been silent until now, chimed in. The three women had once been prominent figures in the capital. Who would have thought they would meet under such circumstances? All of this was because of Xiao Yufan alone…
Xiao Yufan, who had been all smiles, suddenly froze. Liu Hua really knew how to stir the pot. With that remark, he instantly became the target of the women’s glares.
“Yingluo, you said more than one person returned to the country. Are you referring to your Hu family, or are there other families as well?”
Coughing lightly, Xiao Yufan quickly changed the subject. He wanted to know the strength of those who had returned with Yingluo. If there were internal energy experts above the Houtian realm, it would likely be quite troublesome for him to keep his women by his side.
“Besides Manager An, Fourth Grandpa also came back. And the Hong family, who were invited this time, traveled with us.”
A faint smile played on Hu Yingluo’s lips as she thought of the arrogant guy from the hidden Hong family. If he knew she was here, he would surely cause trouble for this man.
“The hidden Hong family? The one that left China with your Hu family, right? It seems the Guo family has put a lot of effort into this ancient martial arts gathering.”
Xiao Yufan wasn’t completely in the dark. He knew a bit about the secrets of some hidden families. The hidden Hong family leaving China with the Hu family wasn’t exactly a secret.
“The hidden Guo family has big ambitions. Making such a big fuss, it’s probably not just for show. They likely want to become the overlords of the hidden families. If the hidden families truly unite, even a powerful entity like the Guardian Temple wouldn’t dare underestimate them.”
Because of Xiao Yufan, Hu Yingluo had no fondness for the hidden Guo family. After learning of their ambitions, she felt even more wary.
“Can you tell me about Manager An and Fourth Grandpa’s strength? If they really try to take my women by force, I need to be prepared.”
“Manager An’s strength should be at the Ninggong realm. As for Fourth Grandpa, I think… he’s at the Houtian realm.” As if seeing through Xiao Yufan’s thoughts, Hu Yingluo smiled.
“Gasp! There really is a Houtian realm internal energy expert!”
Xiao Yufan felt like crying. Even if the Hu family valued the ancient martial arts gathering highly, they wouldn’t send a Houtian realm expert just for that. It must be to prevent Yingluo from staying by Xiao Yufan’s side.
If the Fourth Grandpa Yingluo mentioned was truly a Houtian realm expert, then even if Xiao Yufan fought to the death, he wouldn’t be able to harm him. He was starting to regret sending Heavy Sword Wu Feng to meet with his grandfather. If Wu Feng were here, he would have some leverage.
“Scared?” Hu Yingluo’s alluring lips curled slightly, and a strange glint appeared in her eyes.
“Even if it were a Xiantian realm super expert, they couldn’t take you away from me!”
After a moment of hesitation, Xiao Yufan’s eyes grew even more determined. A Houtian realm expert wasn’t enough to make him cower in fear. Besides, Yingluo had just returned to his side, and he didn’t want her to leave again.
“If I don’t want to leave, no one can take me away from you.”
A warm feeling surged in Hu Yingluo’s heart, and a confident smile graced her lips. She believed that if she didn’t want to leave, no one could take her away from Xiao Yufan.
Xiao Yufan was momentarily stunned. He carefully sensed the aura emanating from Hu Yingluo, and a strange smile appeared on his face. He hadn’t noticed before, but this girl’s strength had already reached the peak of the Ninggong realm, surpassing his own.
He clearly remembered that Yingluo had once been an ordinary woman. Who would have thought that after two years, she had become an internal energy expert, and even stronger than him.
“Talk about a blow to the ego. I went through hell and even fought another old guy from the hidden Guo family before barely reaching the Ninggong realm. And this girl? She’s already at the peak of the Ninggong realm!”
Pouting, Xiao Yufan muttered to himself. Comparing oneself to others really was a killer. Though his strength was considerable, compared to this girl, he was still way behind!
He clearly remembered that Yingluo had previously been an ordinary woman. Never did he imagine that after two years apart, this girl had become a martial artist with internal energy, even stronger than himself.
“Giggle, watching Sister Yingluo and hubby being so affectionate, we really didn’t want to come out. Does this count as interrupting hubby’s good time?”
After spending some time alone together, Xiao Yufan finally remembered the hidden ladies, but just then, Menglu’s voice came through.
Hearing this, Hu Yingluo’s face turned so red it seemed like it might drip water, making Xiao Yufan gulp. This kind of charming demeanor was something he was seeing for the first time.
“Thank you…”
With her brows slightly lowered, though Hu Yingluo was somewhat shy, she was genuinely thankful to these women. She also understood why Xiao Yufan deeply loved every woman around him—because each of them was equally outstanding.

Nodding gently, though Hu Yingluo didn’t have much interaction with these women, she could feel that none of them harbored any ill will towards her. On the contrary, they had provided her with the opportunity to be alone with this man.
“Now that you’re back, don’t leave again. Even if you wanted to, hubby probably wouldn’t allow it, right?”
Yu Yihan’s face showed a bit more of a smile. The relationship between the two was somewhat complicated, but after so much time, any past grievances had long since dissipated. Besides, the two had once been good friends.
“If possible, I’d like to stay too. It just feels like fate is playing tricks on us. How did the former CEO turn into a little lady…”

Yu Yihan wasn’t to be outdone. This girl dared to tease her, so she naturally had to respond. Watching his wives bicker, Xiao Yufan was the happiest. He really hoped Yihan would follow through—it would be quite a treat for him.
“Hubby, why are you smiling so slyly? Are you thinking about Sister Yihan really tying Sister Yingluo to your bed?”
Liu Hua, who had been silent until now, chimed in. The three women had once been prominent figures in the capital. Who would have thought they would meet under such circumstances, all because of Xiao Yufan…
Xiao Yufan’s smile froze instantly. Liu Hua really knew how to stir the pot. With that remark, he instantly became the target of the women’s glares.
“Yingluo, you said more than one person returned to the country. Does that mean people from your Hu family and other families as well?”
Coughing dryly, Xiao Yufan quickly changed the subject. He wanted to know the strength of those who had returned with Yingluo. If there were internal force experts beyond the Houtian realm, it would likely cause many complications if he wanted to keep his woman.
“Besides Manager An, Fourth Grandfather also came back. And the Hong family, who were invited this time, came with us!”
A leisurely smile crossed Hu Yingluo’s lips as she thought of that arrogant guy from the hidden Hong family. If he knew she was here, he would surely cause trouble for this man.
“The hidden Hong family? The one that left China with your Hu family, right? It seems the Guo family has put in a lot of effort for the ancient martial arts conference!”
Xiao Yufan wasn’t completely in the dark. He knew a bit about the secrets of some hidden families. The hidden Hong family leaving China with the Hu family wasn’t exactly a secret.
“The hidden Guo family has big ambitions. Making such a big move, it’s probably not just for show. They likely want to become the overlords of the hidden families. And if the hidden families truly unite, even a powerful entity like the Guardian Temple wouldn’t dare to underestimate them!”
Because of Xiao Yufan, Hu Yingluo had no fondness for the hidden Guo family. And after learning of their ambitions, she felt even more wary.
“Can you tell me about Manager An and Fourth Grandfather’s strength? If they really try to take my woman by force, I need to be prepared.”
“Manager An’s strength should be at the Ninggong realm. As for Fourth Grandfather, it seems… the Houtian realm!” As if seeing through Xiao Yufan’s thoughts, Hu Yingluo smiled.
“Gasp! There really is a Houtian realm internal force expert!”
Xiao Yufan felt like crying. Even if the Hu family valued the ancient martial arts conference highly, they wouldn’t casually send a Houtian realm expert. It seemed they were worried about Yingluo staying with Xiao Yufan.
If the Fourth Grandfather Yingluo mentioned was truly a Houtian realm internal force expert, then even if he fought tooth and nail, he wouldn’t be able to harm him. He was starting to regret why he had let the heavy sword Wu Feng and his grandfather meet. If Wu Feng were here, he would have some support.
“Scared?” A seductive smile played on Hu Yingluo’s lips, and a strange light flashed in her eyes.
“Even if it’s a Houtian realm expert, or even a Xiantian realm super expert, no one can take you away from me!”
After a moment of hesitation, Xiao Yufan’s eyes grew firmer. A Houtian realm expert wasn’t enough to make him cower in fear. Besides, Yingluo had just returned to his side, and he didn’t want her to leave again.
“If I don’t want to leave, no one can take me away from you!”
A warm current flowed through Hu Yingluo’s heart, and a confident smile played on her lips. She believed that if she didn’t want to leave, no one could take her away from Xiao Yufan.
Xiao Yufan’s expression froze for a moment. Sensing the aura on Hu Yingluo, his smile turned a bit strange. He hadn’t noticed before, but this girl’s strength had already reached the peak of the Ninggong realm, much stronger than him.
He clearly remembered that Yingluo had once been an ordinary woman. Who would have thought that after two years, she had become an internal force expert, and even stronger than him.
“Quite a blow. I went through hell and fought with another old guy from the hidden Guo family, only to reach the Ninggong realm. And this girl, she directly became a peak Ninggong realm expert!”
Pursing his lips, Xiao Yufan muttered. Comparing people really makes you want to die. Although his strength was already considerable, compared to this girl, the difference wasn’t just a little!
Xiao Yufan muttered with a pout. Truly, comparing oneself to others could be deadly. Although his strength was formidable enough, compared to this girl, he still fell quite short!
