Not only Chen Zhiyi felt relieved after she entered her mother’s room, but Tian Qiu, who followed behind her, was also happy to see that Ximen Yuqing had returned safely.
“Are you okay, Mom? Did my dad do anything worse than that to you?”
Ximen Yuqing shook her head. “They didn’t do anything else to me.”
“Where is Uncle Hu now? Has Chen Li killed him?”
“Li’er hasn’t killed him, but I don’t know where he took Chen Hu.”
Tian Qiu turned to her best friend, and Chen Zhiyi just nodded to her. However, she had not yet decided whether she would follow her crazy idea or not. “Then where is Big Brother now?”
“Li’er is getting married to Xian’er tomorrow, and he must be hanging out with his friends, so don’t bother him these two days.” 𝘦𝑎.𝒸ℴ
“I know.” But Chen Zhiyi’s heart was filled with jealousy.
Ximen Yuqing then said to them. “You two can go now, and I want to rest because my mind is really tired.”
“All right.”
After they left, Ximen Yuqing exhaled a sigh of relief and quickly dressed before going to bed, but her kiss with Chen Li was still lingering in her mind, which made her restless. ‘Sigh, I hope Zhiyi doesn’t find out about it.’

“Hey, Little Chen! You didn’t consider me a brother anymore, huh?” Ye Xiao asked with a sour look. “If Guo Qing hadn’t told me about it, I would have never known that you and Mo Xie were the same person.”
“Haha.” Chen Li laughed at that. “I didn’t tell you because you can’t keep secrets, or my enemies would definitely find out my true identity.”
“Tch! I’m not that kind of person, you know?”
“Hey, Brother Ye! You are indeed such a person!” Guo Qing then mentioned everything Ye Xiao had done in the past, especially how he revealed many things about them to others, causing him to be embarrassed. “Haha! But now all those people are no longer here, so we can live in peace now.”
“That’s true.” Ye Xiao then said to him again. “However, I didn’t expect that you are so strong now, and you crushed those people single-handedly; the families that they once oppressed in the past must be very grateful to you now.”
“I did everything for myself and my family, so I don’t need their thanks.” Chen Li then asked him. “When are you going to get married, Brother Ye? You’re older than us, but we’re both getting married ahead of you.”
“Haha!” Ye Xiao laughed before pointing at the man in front of them. “You should ask Li Ming about that first, especially since Li Xue is getting married to Guo Qing tomorrow, and he deliberately returned to this country to attend their wedding.”
“Tch.” Yi Yun gritted his teeth when he heard that. “Hey, Fatty Ye! Even though I’m not married yet, I already have a girlfriend, and she will arrive in the country tonight. As for you, you’ve accumulated too much fat on your stomach, so no woman is interested in you.”
“It’s just those women who are stupid.” Ye Xiao said as he rubbed his big belly. “My large belly signifies that I am extremely fortunate, but they continue to ridicule me, so I have no reason to care about them.”
Chen Li laughed in amusement after hearing that, and he then patted Ye Xiao’s shoulder. “Although Brother Ming’s words are true, you don’t need to think about it, and you will meet a woman who can accept your big belly one day.”
“So what are your plans next, Brother Chen?” Guo Qing asked him.
Chen Li sighed softly and told him directly. “I will take them to move there in the near future, but I have to meet with Grandpa Xiong first to confirm our new residence there.”
“Where are you moving to, Little Chen?” Ye Xiao and Li Ming asked at the same time.
“I will take Xian’er and my family to move to Europe, and I will hand over my businesses here to my subordinates at the Long Feng Pavilion, so they will take care of everything.” Chen Li was forced to lie to them, especially since they weren’t cultivators, and they also couldn’t become ones because they didn’t have profound veins.
Ye Xiao sighed after hearing that. “You started your three businesses not long ago, but you were even able to get famous actresses like Mayumi Keiko and Liu Ling’er to be willing to help you, and you became more successful than me in a short time.”
“Haha.” Guo Qing laughed loudly before telling him. “Brother Ye! You may not know about this, but Mayumi Keiko is his wife as well.”
“Huh?” The truth not only shocked Ye Xiao but also shocked Li Ming.
However, Guo Qing threw another bomb at them. “Besides, Brother Chen has several other wives, but Dashao is still the most important woman in his heart, and she is the head of his harem.”
“Are you kidding me?”
“Is that true, Little Chen?”
“Guo Qing didn’t lie to you two; I do have several other wives, eight to be precise, and we live together in our mansion.” The two men were even more shocked after they heard that. “I know that you guys must feel strange about my relationship, but that’s the truth, and Xian’er fully supports our relationship.”
“Xian’er is really a strange woman.” Ye Xiao said as he shook his head. “I knew that she always placed your importance above everything else, but I didn’t expect that she would be willing to sacrifice so much for you. If I were in her shoes, I would never be willing to share you with another woman.”
“That’s true.” Li Ming nodded in agreement with that, and he then spoke to Chen Li. “Ever since you two were little, Xian’er has always protected and supported you selflessly, so you must always take good care of her.”
“Haha.” Chen Li laughed softly at that. “As Guo Qing said before, Xian’er is the most important woman in my life, so I will always take care of her and treat her well.”
“That’s good.”
*Ring*
Suddenly, Chen Li’s smartphone rang with an incoming message, and he was surprised to read the message from Feng Xian’er. “Anyway, my father-in-law wants to talk to me, so I have to go to the Feng House right now.”
“Hey! Isn’t that weird?” Ye Xiao asked him. “According to our tradition, the bride and groom are prohibited from meeting the night before the wedding, so why does Uncle Feng want to meet you?”
“Brother Ye, you don’t need to think about that; Brother Chen and Dashao are a special couple.” Guo Qing then said to Chen Li. “You should meet Uncle Feng now, and the three of us will have fun.”

Before long, Chen Li had arrived at the Feng House, and he went to meet Feng Ao and Feng Xian’er in the living room. “What did you want to talk to me about, father-in-law?”
Feng Ao looked at them for some time before starting to speak. “I have a secret that I’ve been keeping for the past twenty years, but you two are adults now, and you guys are getting married tomorrow, so I want to tell the secret to both of you.”
“Hmm?” Chen Li and Feng Xian’er looked at him in confusion.
Feng Ao then started his story. “In fact, my late wife couldn’t have a child because her womb was removed after she suffered from a malignant uterine tumor, so Xian’er is not our biological daughter, but we care for and love her like our own flesh and blood.”
Both of them were shocked after hearing that, but they weren’t shocked about the truth because they had known it a long time ago, and they were shocked that Feng Ao already knew that Feng Xian’er was not his biological daughter. However, they didn’t say anything to him, and they chose to listen to the whole story first.
“You two should know that I like hunting in the forest, right?” They nodded to Feng Ao. “Twenty years ago, I was lost in the forest while I was hunting there, and I accidentally found a crimson egg with a phoenix pattern on the shell, but I couldn’t get close to it at first because its surroundings were covered in hot flames. However, I felt that the egg was very special, so I waited there for several days, and those flames finally disappeared.”
“Then?”
“Long story short, I brought the egg home without anyone knowing, and only my late wife knew about it, but it still didn’t hatch after we kept it in this house for a long time.” Feng Ao then let out a heavy sigh before continuing. “However, she fell seriously ill a few months later, so I moved her and the egg to another city. About two months after we moved to the city, it finally hatched, but we were really shocked because what came out of the egg was a baby girl. Moreover, she was very unique, and she even ate the shell until there was nothing left, even though she was still very small. Since we didn’t have a child, I used my connections to make Xian’er’s birth documents, and she became our daughter from then on. Thanks to her presence, my late wife fought hard to fight her illness, but she finally died after she was six years old, and you already know the rest of the story.”
