"Summer, don't misunderstand! I didn't mean it like that!" Sun Xinxin hurriedly said, "What I said was just to pacify my dad. I know you can’t marry me, and I won’t be hard on you either. Actually, I really don’t mind those titles or reputations. This is enough..."
"Xinjie, I actually can marry you!" Summer said seriously, "We can have a wedding ceremony or just go to the Civil Affairs Bureau for a marriage certificate; whatever way you like."
"Ah" Sun Xinxin was stunned, "But what about Qiaoqiao and them if you register with me"
"Hehe, Xinjie, I’ve already thought of a solution. Don’t worry. After I finish building the house, I’ll go to the Civil Affairs Bureau for marriage certificates with all of you. Yes, I want to be fair with every wife and avoid any accusations that I’m biased," Summer said cheerfully. He hadn't paid much attention to this matter earlier, but since Shu Jing mentioned a marriage certificate, he started thinking seriously about it and came up with an excellent idea.
"You’re serious" Sun Xinxin looked at Summer doubtfully; she wondered if he was going to forge multiple fake certificates
Although she had already told herself that she didn't mind titles or statuses and could spend her life with Summer, she would still be happier if Summer really wanted to register their marriage.
"Xinjie, of course I’m serious," Summer laughed cheerfully. "You'll find out in the future."
"But is there really a way" Sun Xinxin was somewhat skeptical.
"Of course there is! As clever as me, any method I come up with will definitely work," Summer said confidently.
Sun Xinxin didn’t ask further. She decided to believe in Summer because she felt that even if he really made a fake certificate to fool her, she could accept it too. If so, then there was no need for her to worry excessively about this matter either.
"I'm so sleepy, I'll go to sleep now. Don't do anything bad, okay!" Sun Xinxin felt a wave of drowsiness coming over her and murmured softly before lying down in Xia Tian's embrace and falling asleep.
The next morning.
Green Peak Village.
A tall man slowly entered the village. Although he seemed to be moving at an unhurried pace, it appeared that within a short while, he had already reached the foot of Green Peak Mountain.
This man looked to be in his thirties with fair skin and no beard, and there was a heroic aura around him. However, his body emitted a peculiar air as well, an atmosphere that seemed calm but was actually very powerful, enough to make one feel intimidated upon encountering it.
But the most unusual thing about this man was his attire; he wore a gray robe, giving the impression of being from ancient times. Fortunately for him, he was now at the foot of Green Peak Mountain and there were no other people around at this moment. If he appeared on the streets outside, he would likely be regarded as an oddball.
The man in the gray robe looked up at Green Peak Mountain, exhaled softly, then muttered to himself: "After a hundred years of seclusion, the world has completely changed. Fortunately, there hasn't been any change here in Green Peak Village. I hope that what's on the mountain is still intact."
The gray-robed man suddenly vanished and reappeared moments later halfway up the mountain.
"Huh" A look of surprise appeared on the man’s face, "Strange, how could it be different from before"
As he recalled what had been there previously, he muttered to himself and his expression gradually turned somewhat grim.
"This is no longer the old乾坤Great Array." A look of disappointment and anger appeared on the man's face. "Damn it, who has taken over my place Changed my array, now even I can't get in!"
The gray-robed man became increasingly angry as he spoke. Suddenly, he slapped his palm towards the air, and with a loud bang, an immense counterforce pushed him back.
"What a powerful array! It’s much stronger than my previous Heaven and Earth Grand Array!" The shock on the gray-robed man's face returned again, "This isn’t good. That person who took my place must be very strong in cultivation; I need to first figure out their identity before making any moves. It would be better for me to leave now or else I might suffer a great loss."
The gray-robed man’s face rapidly changed as he made up his mind, and then he vanished swiftly, quickly disappearing from the foot of Greenpeak Mountain.
Right after he left, a beautiful woman in white clothes appeared suddenly. She looked at the direction where the gray-robed man had gone and muttered to herself, "It seems there’s someone who wants to compete with us for our territory; I should go back first and tell Moon Sister about it."
After saying that, the fairy-like woman in white clothes also vanished.
In Jianghai City.
When Xia Tian woke up, Sun Xinxin was still sleeping soundly. When he finally managed to wake her up and was about to go for a morning workout with her, however, his phone rang.
"Little rascal, I’ve come down the mountain!" As soon as she picked up the call, Liu Meng’s voice came through the line, "Where are you I miss you."
"Ms. Meng, I’m in Jianghai City," Xia Tian was also delighted to hear that Liu Meng had come down the mountain.
“Oh! Then wait for me there!” Liu Meng said with a soft voice.
"Sure, I’ll wait for you." Xia Tian readily agreed.
"Hmm, Little Rascal, you have to be good, if you don't wait for me, I won't talk to you anymore!" Liu Meng said with a smile and then hung up the call.
Summer put down his phone, looked at Sun Xinxin whose eyes were dreamy, flipped over and pinned her underneath him. Just at this moment, however, the phone rang again, and it was Qiao Xiaoqiao who was making the call this time.
Although Summer felt a bit depressed, he couldn't avoid taking this call, so he put his morning exercise on hold and picked up the call: "Hello, wife, is there anything"
"Husband, news came from the hospital in the capital city; Xiao Jian's condition has worsened. It seems that..." Qiao Xiaoqiao didn't continue speaking further as she believed Summer understood her implication.
Xiao Jian was the son of Xiao Daming who had leukemia, and Summer had actually known about this name a long time ago already.
The fiery desire in Summer's heart suddenly seemed to have diminished greatly. He fell silent for a moment before speaking: "Wife, can you book me an airplane ticket I'll head over tomorrow."
"Alright." Qiao Xiaoqiao softly replied. "Husband, then I'll hang up now."
After Qiao Xiaoqiao hung up the call, Summer was momentarily stunned as he had thought there would be more time before going to the capital city, but it turned out events developed faster than expected.
"You're leaving already" Sun Xinxin couldn't help asking softly in a tone tinged with reluctance.
Lowering his head and looking at the beautiful woman underneath him, feeling her softness and fullness, Summer's mood suddenly improved again.
"Xinjie, I'll still be around for a while," Summer said quietly, then pressed down heavily.
...
Summer stayed at Sun Xinxin's place until noon and wasn't in a hurry to leave, but Liu Meng had already returned to Jianghai City and was waiting for him at Qiao Xiaoqiao’s place.
At this moment, Qiao Feng'er felt rather depressed because she encountered another situation that pushed her to the brink of despair. Two days ago, after great effort in preparing a meal, when she went upstairs for just a moment, Summer had eaten all the food on the table.
Today, almost the same thing happened again; she merely made one round upstairs and found that there was much less food left at the dining table. However, it wasn't Summer eating this time but Liu Meng.
"These two really complement each other perfectly!" Qiao Feng'er criticized Summer and Liu Meng inwardly once more. Both of them were somewhat abnormal yet incredibly powerful.
Right when Qiao Feng'er was feeling depressed, Summer entered the house. Liu Meng, who had been enjoying her meal alone until then, immediately reacted and turned to beckon Summer, "Little rascal, come over here and eat!"
Qiao Feng'er felt even more dejected; she had stood nearby for several minutes without being invited by Liu Meng to join them. The moment this perverted wolf returned, Liu Meng promptly spoke up. This devilish woman seemed to care for her man but was too indifferent towards others
It didn't take long before the two of them finished all the food on the table. By then, Qiao Xiaoqiao had descended from upstairs and saw that there were only a dozen clean plates left at the table, which made her feel somewhat helpless.
"Miss Meng, you're back," Qiao Xiaoqiao greeted Liu Meng.
"Yes, I came especially to find Little Rascal," replied Liu Meng quickly. Then she suddenly recalled and asked, "Hey, Xiaoqiao, have you eaten"
Qiao Feng'er was speechless; did Miss Meng know all along yet pretend not to know
"I'll have my meal later," Qiao Xiaoqiao smiled faintly. She turned to look at Xia Tian, "Husband, your plane ticket has already been booked for tomorrow morning."
"Book a flight" Liu Meng looked slightly displeased as she glanced at Xia Tian, "Little rascal, where are you going this time"
"Sis Meng, I need to make a trip to the capital city. I'll be back in a few days," Xia Tian explained.
"Little rascal, why do you want to leave just as I get home This makes me upset!" Liu Meng's displeasure grew deeper.
"Sis Meng, actually, I was planning to leave today. But when I heard that you were coming back, I deliberately postponed my departure until tomorrow," Xia Tian hurriedly explained.
"Is it" Suddenly, Liu Meng brightened up, "Little rascal, then I won't be mad at you anymore! Come on, let's go upstairs. I'll treat you to some good food!"
Liu Meng grabbed Xia Tian and started running upstairs while Qiao Feng'er couldn't help muttering under her breath, "Cheater!"
In Qiao Feng'er’s view, Xia Tian was truly a big cheater. She knew very clearly that the decision to go to the capital city was made spontaneously by Xia Tian without any prior preparation for today's departure. What left her feeling frustrated was how Liu Meng so readily believed Xia Tian, which seemed utterly unfair.
"Why does a rogue like Xia Tian have the luck to meet Sis Meng—a beautiful and innocent woman who’s easily deceived" Qiao Feng'er had previously been critical of Liu Meng but now she began to feel sympathetic towards her. She thought it was too much for someone as ethereal-looking and devilishly fit as Liu Meng to be tricked by Xia Tian.
Meanwhile, at that very moment, Xia Tian had already followed Liu Meng into the bedroom where he casually wrapped his arms around Liu Meng's waist and asked with a grin, "Sis Meng, are you going to give me steamed buns"d robbery involving lightning and thunder, especially targeting a flower shop. However, he didn't really intend to delve into the matter's authenticity."Xia Tian, is there any possibility for negotiat...
