Chapter 82: Discuss With Third Uncle
Shen Xiaoxiao had not seen the Black Ganoderma since it was handed over to Yan Kuan. She did not know where it had gone the whole night.
The next morning, he left a message telling her that she could go out by herself or stay in that little nest. If she wanted to run, she could as long as she had the ability to break her neck. Otherwise, as long as the necklace was there… She would not be able to escape from Yan Kuan’s hands.
Shen Xiaoxiao did not care how this man, who always liked to tie her to his belt, suddenly left without a trace.
She was curious about the drug that the Black Ganoderma used to save someone. He actually cared so much that he could leave without a word.
However, it was a good thing that she could temporarily escape from this man’s imprisonment. Shen Xiaoxiao casually packed a few things and was immediately accompanied by her personal bodyguards back to her house in the school district.
Dark 19 was Yan Kuan’s personal bodyguard. When they first met, Dark 19 sized her up for a long time. When Shen Xiaoxiao was about to become extremely impatient, Dark 19 asked in a low voice, “They all say that you’re very good at fighting. Can you spar with me for a bit?”
Even now, Shen Xiaoxiao still could not understand how that shy boy next door managed to become a bodyguard in the Dark Empire.
However, Shen Xiaoxiao did not know if it was because she had not fought for a long time. Her body was a little sore, so she said nonchalantly, “Sure, but you only have one chance.”
Her words were very arrogant, but Dark 19’s eyes lit up when he heard it. The two of them quickly began to spar.
However, just like before, Dark 19 was defeated in just ten moves. This time, Shen Xiaoxiao knew that Dark 19 was really going to be subdued by her. At least, before Yan Kuan gave the order, he would listen to her orders. This was enough.
Shen Xiaoxiao did not know that the video of her exchanging moves with him in order to subdue Dark 19 was recorded by the cameras. This made the four Hall Masters look pleasantly surprised and their eyes lit up.
At this moment, the four of them only had one voice in their hearts, and that was: “I beg to be tortured!”
These moves and killing moves all hit the key parts. Her movements were ruthless and fast. Dark 19 was knocked down to the ground and this Little Oriental Loli said without even pausing, “Fortunately, I only used 70% of my strength.”
This was simply a slap in the face. A slap in the face, a challenge. She had to be challenged. However, before the Boss left, he had instructed her not to lose a single hair on her head. Forget it, they had better not provoke this demon G.o.d.
On the other side, Shen Xiaoxiao had just sat at home for less than 10 minutes when Third Uncle opened the door and walked in. He was carrying large and small bags in his hands. Shen Xiaoxiao secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she had returned early… Otherwise, it would have been hard for her to explain where she had run off to in the early morning.
However, looking at Third Uncle’s posture, she knew that he was going to cook a big meal for her again today.
“Xiaoxiao, you’re up so early? Come, Third Uncle bought you fried dough sticks and soy milk. I’ll heat it up for you. Don’t you young people like to sleep late on such a cold day? Why don’t you sleep more?”
“Good morning, Third Uncle. Why are you going to buy groceries so early? The snow hasn’t melted yet. It’s freezing outside. You have to be careful.”
“Don’t worry. Third Uncle’s body is very strong. I’ll live for another few decades to help you raise your child.”
Third Uncle spoke jokingly. Shen Xiaoxiao smiled but did not answer Third Uncle’s words. Raising a child… She did not have any hope of being a mother in her previous life. It was even more impossible in this life. Could it be that she was going to have a child with that Yan Kuan?
Come on, he had only treated her as a toy from the beginning to the end. Sooner or later, he would get sick of er.
However, the Chinese medicine pract.i.tioner that Third Uncle had taken her to see earlier was quite capable. After drinking the medicine prescribed, her stomach felt warm. It was unlike her previous life, where her stomach felt cold.
“Third Uncle, our school is on vacation. I want to go to a resort to play tomorrow.”
“Resort?” Third Uncle said to Shen Xiaoxiao as he packed up the things he bought.
“Yeah, it’s that resort in Huaiyuan City. I heard from my friends that we can ski, barbecue, and soak in hot springs. Third Uncle, why don’t we go there together?”
“Xiaoxiao, you’ve become friends with your cla.s.smates so fast? If you want to go there, go there. You’ve never been to those places. However, I won’t go there. It’s too cold. I’d better stay at home. How many days will you go there for? Can you come back in time to pay respects to our ancestors?”
“Yes, we can go tomorrow. We’ll be back the day after tomorrow. We can go to wors.h.i.+p our ancestors the day after tomorrow afternoon. But if we go, are you sure we’ll miss Gu Yuehua’s time?”
“Don’t worry. Gu Yuehua has always been good at putting on an act. She only goes to wors.h.i.+p your father on the 28th of December every year. It hasn’t changed for so many years. Moreover, she won’t go back to her hometown. If she goes back to her hometown, she would be drowned by the saliva of the villagers!”
“Okay, that’s good.”
“Okay, drink it while it’s hot.”
“Okay, thank you, Third Uncle.”
Shen Jinwen looked at Shen Xiaoxiao’s innocent smile. He held the soy milk cup with both hands and put her entire mouth in the middle of the cup. It was the same action as when she was a child. He felt a rare sense of comfort and bitterness in his heart.
He had finally found her. However, the news that he had received made him feel a little sad. Sigh, he had to tell her sooner or later. It was better to tell her. He didn’t know if this girl would be able to accept it after she found out.
“Xiaoxiao, Third Uncle received some news yesterday about your marriage with the Pei family.”
Shen Xiaoxiao’s hand that was holding the youtiao didn’t stop tearing the youtiao bit by bit as she placed it into the soy milk cup. As she did so, she said, “What’s the matter? Is it that they want to change their ways and let Liu Yufei marry into the Pei family in my place?”
“Ah? You know about it?”
Shen Jinwen looked at Shen Xiaoxiao’s indifferent expression and was a little confused. Why was Xiaoxiao more well-informed than him? And why didn’t she look angry at all?
When he had received the news, he had been furious. Although he looked down on the ingrates of the Pei family, this marriage was a small matter and could not be s.n.a.t.c.hed away by a burden. These two families were too much of a bully.
However, the unconcerned look on Xiaoxiao’s face made him release his anger.
“Third Uncle, you don’t have to be so angry. This is actually a good thing. Don’t you remember? When I was in Country M, I told you that the marriage between the Pei family and I must be annulled. It’s just a matter of time.”
“However, it’s not that simple for them to use Liu Yufei as a replacement. There were many families who knew about the marriage between our Shen family and the Pei family back then.”
“Most importantly, it was impossible for them to use Liu Yufei as a replacement. After all, ‘I’ am still missing and not dead.”
“After the New Year, we’ll go through some related procedures. I’ll definitely take back everything that belongs to me.”
“Moreover, the Pei family has an item in their possession. Third Uncle, you haven’t forgotten, right? Half of the Yin-Yang Key is in their house.”
