[Urban] The Rogue Young Master's Journey Through the Mortal World (Complete) - 34-36

Chapter 227: Nighttime Assassination Attack

"Hmph, I haven't offended you. Our young master Huo Fengtian has long been deeply in love with Miss Siyan, and you, you brat, have come out and stolen his beloved. Tell me, don't you deserve to die! What's worse, you actually insulted young master Huo Fengtian today, so he sent me to take your dog's life!"

Xie Canghai's eyes were full of hatred as he spoke, and his face was also very excited. But if you looked closely, it seemed that something was hidden behind that hatred. However, Xia Fengyin was already burning with anger and would not bother to find out the expression behind Xie Canghai's eyes.

He walked over to Xie Canghai, kicked him again, and snorted angrily, "Siyan never liked your crazy son anyway. She's my girlfriend now. If you want to harm her, you'll have to step over my dead body!"

"He said I'm his girlfriend?"

Huo Siyan, standing to the side, blushed instantly upon hearing Xia Fengyin's words, but she didn't deny it. Instead, she lowered her head shyly. Even Madam Huo, standing beside her, was puzzled. How long had Xia Fengyin known her daughter? How could Siyan already be his girlfriend? Wasn't Siyan the one who hated dating boys? Why did she change in front of Xia Fengyin? What was Xia Fengyin's background, and how did he possess such power?

"Fine, now that he's in your hands, then please give me a quick death! Let me tell you, I've been by Huo Guang's side for ten years, and I've never done a single thing for him. Everything I've done is so that the young master can reclaim what belongs to him as soon as possible!"

Facing the knives, guns, and clubs of the bodyguards, Xie Canghai showed no fear whatsoever, displaying instead the air of a warrior going to his execution.

"Then do it!"

Madam Huo, seeing that her husband had been deceived by Xie Canghai for ten years, was already burning with rage. She waved her hand, giving the order to the bodyguards beside her. Two bodyguards drew their guns, grabbed Xie Canghai, and prepared to take him out and shoot him. Large families with underworld connections like this often carried out vigilante justice in private.

"Wait!"

Xia Fengyin waved his hand to stop the bodyguards who were about to make their move. He looked at Xie Canghai's face and revealed his usual wicked smile: "Letting him go like this is letting him off easy. I'm going to keep him here and torture him slowly. As for that Huo Teng father and son, since they've already dared to bully me, I'll make them taste their own medicine immediately!"

The two bodyguards looked at Madam Huo, and seeing that she nodded, they took Xie Canghai to the dungeon at the back of the villa and locked him up.

"Fengyin, don't go and fight with Huo Teng and his son. You have no power at all. You'll definitely be defeated by them, defeated by them—" Huo Siyan

heard Xia Fengyin say that he was going to deal with Huo Teng and his son, and immediately tried to dissuade him in a panic. However, she never uttered the word "death" because she was afraid that her words would become a reality.

Seeing Huo Siyan's concern for him, Xia Fengyin was overjoyed. He walked to Huo Siyan's side, took the opportunity to pat her shoulder, and chuckled, "Don't worry, if I say I'll do it, I will. For my Siyan, I will do my best!"

After saying that, Xia Fengyin stared intently into Huo Siyan's eyes with what he thought was a very affectionate gaze. Huo Siyan had never been looked at like that before, and her face immediately turned red, her hands fidgeting with her clothes.

This girl, isn't she usually so sharp-tongued? Now, after I've charmed her with my eyes, why has she become so shy? Xia Fengyin liked her more and more, forgetting that there were a large group of people around him, and lowered his head to kiss Huo Siyan's rosy and alluring lips.

"Ahem!"

Standing beside him, Mrs. Huo couldn't stand it anymore and quickly pretended to cough twice. Damn it, how dare he kiss my daughter in front of me? This kid is too bold!

Xia Fengyin looked up and saw Madam Huo glaring at him angrily. He quickly chuckled awkwardly, "The room was too dark. I was checking if Siyan was frightened by Xie Canghai. Look, her little face is all red with fear. Poor child!"

"Go to hell!"

Upon hearing Xia Fengyin's words, Huo Siyan's shyness turned to anger. She raised her little foot and stomped hard on Xia Fengyin's instep before running out of the room like a shot.

"This girl is too shy, hehe!"

Xia Fengyin looked at Madam Huo and smiled awkwardly, "Madam, I think everything's alright. You should go back and rest. I feel bad leaving you standing here!"

As Xia Fengyin spoke, his expression was incredibly sincere, but in his heart he was thinking, "You should go back quickly. It's already midnight, and I need to sleep!"

"Okay, but Xia Fengyin, I must warn you to stay away from my Yan'er. I heard you came to Hong Kong to find a girlfriend, and I don't want my Yan'er to be a third party!"

Madam Huo suppressed a laugh and warned seriously.

"Okay, okay! I'm half a centimeter away from Siyan now. Tomorrow I'll move away a bit, just a centimeter. Sigh, I was worried Siyan wouldn't agree. After all, you saw it just now, Siyan and I are mutually in love!"

Xia Fengyin had long considered Huo Siyan his woman and was unwilling to give up so easily. He chuckled and rejected Madam Huo in a gentler way.

"Alright, we'll talk about the rest tomorrow. I'll go tell the master what happened tonight now. He can decide what to do. Those Huo Teng and his son are too much! They actually dared to send someone to assassinate me in the middle of the night!"

Madam Huo cursed a few times and then went out to Huo Guang's room. Seeing that nothing else was wrong, the bodyguards all dispersed.

The next day at breakfast, it was Xia Fengyin and the other two again. After what happened last night, Huo Siyan always looked shy when she saw Xia Fengyin. Now that the unspoken understanding had been revealed, Xia Fengyin had his own girlfriend. The fact that he came to Hong Kong alone to find her proved that he loved his girlfriend very much. So what about her? Should she become the other woman, or just give up? Huo Siyan was very conflicted. Of course, if people knew that Huo Siyan knew Xia Fengyin had more women than they could count on two hands, they would probably have a different expression.

"Fengyin, Dad said you need to go to his room after breakfast. He said he has something important to discuss with you!"

Huo Siyan put down her bread, staring at Xia Fengyin intently, and murmured.

You have something important to discuss with me? Is it because of what happened last night? Good heavens, I was just saying it casually. To be honest, the struggles within your Huo family have absolutely nothing to do with me, an outsider. Originally, I might have intervened out of consideration for Si Yan. But now, Mrs. Huo actually says she doesn't want her daughter to associate with me. What's the point of me staying in your Huo family then? Is it for your money? To be honest, while Xia Fengyin may not be a top-tier tycoon, he still has more money than he can spend. Moreover, he is the disciple of the God of Gamblers, possessing the immense wealth of the Heavenly God Sect.

Although he already knew why Huo Guang had summoned him to his room, Xia Fengyin remained outwardly calm. He took a bite of his bread and chuckled, "Siyan, what did Dad want to discuss with me? It's not to ask about our progress, is it? Well, I'll tell him I'm always ready!"

"You wish!"

Before Huo Siyan could speak, Madam Huo interrupted. However, Madam Huo was a beauty of exceptional quality, and her voice was like a phoenix's song; though it was a reprimand, it was pleasant to listen to. Xia Fengyin

wasn't angry at all. Instead, he laughed heartily, "Madam, you're mistaken. If a man stands in this world and doesn't even dare to dream of beautiful things, what ambition does he have? What future will such a person have? As the saying goes, ideals are the source of human striving, the driving force for continuous progress. I now consider Siyan my ideal, and I think every day that my ideal can become a reality. How can that be called wishful thinking? Right, Siyan?"

After Xia Fengyin finished speaking, he turned his gaze to Huo Siyan, his eyes burning with intensity. Huo Siyan met his gaze for a moment, then shyly lowered her head: "What you said makes a lot of sense!"

"So, my dream will one day become a reality!"

Xia Fengyin said, nudging Huo Siyan with his foot under the table. However, Huo Siyan didn't move her foot away; instead, she moved her leg closer to Xia Fengyin. At the same time, her eyes looked expectantly at Madam Huo. Clearly, Madam Huo had the final say on whether Huo Siyan could date Xia Fengyin.

Sensing the expectation in her daughter's eyes, Madam Huo couldn't help but sigh. What had happened to her daughter? She had only known him for a few days, and she was already flirting with him. Didn't she used to hate boys the most? Why had she changed so much? This Xia Fengyin, although handsome, didn't have that much magic power! Madam Huo shook her head. No, she had to persuade Yan'er; she couldn't let her become a third party!

What would Mrs. Huo think if she knew that Xia Fengyin already had more than a dozen beautiful women?

After breakfast, Xia Fengyin was reluctant to go to Huo Guang's room, but because Huo Siyan had agreed to one of his conditions, he reluctantly went to Huo Guang's bedroom.

Huo Guang was still lying there as he had a few days ago, pale-faced, with sunken eyes, looking like he was seriously ill. When he saw Xia Fengyin come in, he struggled to sit up, but he was too weak. Several times he tried to push himself up but then fell back down. Xia Fengyin felt sorry for him and quickly went over, picked up a pillow, placed it on the bedside table, and helped Huo Guang sit up.

"Thank you!"

Huo Guang gave a faint smile, but the smile looked strange on his unusually thin and pale face. Xia Fengyin couldn't help but shiver when he saw it.

"No need to thank me. Caring for the young is my principle, and helping the elderly is my motto!"

Xia Fengyin chuckled twice and moved a chair over to sit beside Huo Guang's bed.

"I heard you were assassinated by my steward Xie Canghai yesterday?"

Huo Guang wasn't angry at Xia Fengyin's words; instead, he asked with concern.

"Yes, it was your good steward who almost killed me last night! What's worse, he scared my—Siyan!"

When Xia Fengyin mentioned Huo Siyan, he deliberately dragged out "my." Huo Guang, being so clever, immediately understood Xia Fengyin's meaning. Damn it, this kid is shameless! Siyan is my daughter whom I've raised for nearly twenty years; how can she become yours in just a few days? However, Huo Guang didn't voice his true feelings. Instead, he said apologetically, "I'm really sorry. It's all my fault for choosing the wrong person, which almost caused you—you—to be harmed! But it's good this way. Our Huo family's traitor has finally shown his true colors. From now on, we have one less enemy hiding in the shadows!"

Xia Fengyin was annoyed that Huo Guang had pretended not to understand her feelings for Huo Siyan. "Yes, I risked my life to eliminate an enemy for your Huo family. I accept that. However, I'm a very timid person, and I can't take the same risk a second time. From now on, your Huo family's internal strife has nothing to do with me. I declare first and foremost that I have no connection with your Huo family whatsoever. I will leave the Huo family tomorrow!"

Chapter 228:

“That won’t do. My hostility towards Huo Teng is now out in the open. If you leave now, what will happen to Yan’er and us? I’m bedridden now. How can Yan’er and her son fight against Huo Teng? Are you just going to stand by and watch our Huo family fall into Huo Teng’s hands and eventually fall apart?”

Huo Guang said, his face showing a bitter expression, as if he had really reached the end of his rope.

"Well done, Huo Guang! You actually think you can use this trick to evoke my sympathy? No way!" Xia Fengyin chuckled. "With so many bodyguards under your command, are you really not as strong as Huo Teng? If you didn't have the power to suppress him, how could he have willingly submitted to you all these years?"

Hearing Xia Fengyin's question, Huo Guang's face showed a hint of surprise, but that look vanished in an instant. He regained his composure and slowly explained, "Three years ago, I had the ability to bring down Huo Teng and his son at any time. However, when my father passed the position of Huo family head to me, he made me swear a solemn oath never to harm my own brothers. That's why Huo Teng has been able to live freely until now. But now, times have changed. Because I've been bedridden for most of the years, my control over my subordinates isn't as tight as before. Just recently, the Hung Hing Gang, which I founded, betrayed me. The vice-leader, Xu Yingsa, led most of the gang members to join Huo Teng. Now, my strength as the gang leader is far less than before!"

"This doesn't seem to concern me at all!"

Xia Fengyin was secretly surprised. It turned out the Huo family controlled such a large triad organization. Everyone knew the Hung Hing Gang; it was the second largest gang in Hong Kong, the largest being the Eagle Hand Gang. However, the Eagle Hand Gang remained very mysterious, and the identity of its mastermind was still unknown to the world. The two gangs had always maintained a peaceful relationship.

"How can it not concern you? When the nest is overturned, no egg remains intact. If we collapse, Yan'er will certainly be harmed, and then—"

Huo Guang deliberately paused, knowing that someone as intelligent as Xia Fengyin would understand the meaning behind his words.

Sure enough, Xia Fengyin's expression immediately became focused upon hearing Huo Guang's words, and his face became much more serious: "You mean, as long as I help you, you'll give Siyan to me in marriage, is that right?"

"Yes!"

Huo Guang nodded, but inwardly he thought, "You little brat, how could I not do this? You don't even have a shred of compassion." "As long as you can help me defeat Huo Teng, and if you can win Yan'er's heart with your own abilities, then I won't object to your relationship!"

Damn, my goal has finally been achieved! Xia Fengyin got Huo Teng's promise and was overjoyed. Another beauty is going to be my wife! Heavens, why are you so good to me? But I like it!

"What, you're not even willing to accept this condition?"

Seeing Xia Fengyin lower his head and remain silent, his expression shifting, Huo Guang thought he was unwilling and hurriedly asked.

"Willing, I'm very willing!"

Xia Fengyin was afraid that Huo Guang would change his mind, so he quickly raised his hands in reply.

"So you're willing to help me now? Aren't you a coward? Aren't you afraid of retaliation from Huo Teng's men?

" "No, I, Xia Fengyin, am a man of seven feet tall, always acting with integrity and uprightness. For justice in the world, for the peace of your Huo family, I'm determined to go through fire and water without hesitation!"

As he finished speaking, Xia Fengyin patted his chest. Anyway, I have the Heavenly God Sect backing me up; what am I afraid of?!

"Alright, since you're willing, then be prepared at all times. However, our enemies aren't just Huo Teng and his son, but also my second brother, Huo Zheng! Although he's weaker than Huo Teng, he's still a force to be reckoned with, and he's long coveted the position of Huo family head!"

Huo Guang said, his face filled with helplessness and dejection. Although born into wealth and living a life of comfort, he had to live in a world of intrigue, unable to even trust his own brothers.

"What? Your enemies aren't just Huo Teng, but also Huo Zheng? You... why didn't you say so earlier? No, no, I can't agree to your conditions!"

Upon hearing that Huo Guang's enemy included someone he didn't know called Huo Zheng, Xia Fengyin immediately felt cheated. " Why didn't this old man say so earlier?" he thought. He composed himself and immediately prepared to back out.

"What? Are you scared? Don't you want to marry Yan'er anymore? Let me tell you, she's one of Hong Kong's two beauties. Countless wealthy young men in Hong Kong are eyeing her!"

"Hmm, well, I'll think about it!"

Hearing Huo Guang mention Huo Siyan again, Xia Fengyin felt conflicted. If he accepted the job, he didn't know if he could succeed; if he didn't, he and Siyan would be destined to be apart. This old man had found his weakness! Oh well, at worst, he'd die. "To die under the flowers is to die romantically," he thought, gritting his teeth. "Fine! I agree!"

"Hmm, that's my future son-in-law!"

Huo Guang seemed to have anticipated Xia Fengyin's agreement, nodding approvingly and praising him further.

"If there's nothing else, I'll be going now!"

Xia Fengyin said goodbye to Huo Guang and immediately left the room. Damn it, if he didn't leave soon, Huo Teng might cause trouble again!

"Master, do you think Xia Fengyin can handle those two pairs of father and son, Huo Teng and Huo Zheng? I don't think he has any real skill or strength besides being a little clever!"

After Xia Fengyin walked away, an old man dressed in black came out from behind the curtains. He approached Huo Guang and asked respectfully.

"Yes, he can. We should believe the God of Gamblers' words. If he says Xia Fengyin can do it, then Xia Fengyin definitely can! By the way, you had a hard night. Are you still in pain?"

Huo Guang looked at the man in black with concern, clearly showing a deep affection for him.

"Thank you for your concern, Master. My injury is mostly healed, but that kid's kick was really vicious. My back is still throbbing!"

The old man said, rubbing his back, clearly indicating that his injury was not minor.

Xia Fengyin left Huo Guang's room and returned to his own. Lying down, he began to consider whether he had made a bad deal by agreeing to Huo Guang's terms: If he helped Huo Guang deal with Huo Teng and Huo Zheng, then he would marry Si Yan to him. Huo Guang was now practically dead, and Si Yan, as his only daughter, would be the future heir to the Huo family's vast fortune. A woman follows her husband after marriage, meaning the Huo family's future fortune would be his. Oh dear, and there was also the stunningly beautiful Mrs. Huo... How could he possibly accept that?

Xia Fengyin scratched his head. How could he possibly deal with Huo Teng and Huo Zheng? They controlled the powerful Hung Hing Gang, while he only had Huo Guang's few loyal followers, plus the God of Gamblers' Heavenly Gate—they were practically equal. Damn it, for my Si Yan, for the Huo family's vast fortune, and for the alluring Mrs. Huo, I'll risk it all! If I can't win, I'll just run! By then, he could take all the beauties and the Huo couple to a secluded, picturesque place to live in seclusion. With the hundreds of millions of RMB in his bank account, he could live a carefree life!

"Bank account!"

Thinking of this, Xia Fengyin suddenly had an idea! He quickly ran to Huo Guang's room to discuss it. Huo Guang was still lying there as before; the old man in black had already left.

Xia Fengyin's return surprised Huo Guang: "Xia Fengyin, you should be in your room thinking about how to deal with Huo Teng and Huo Zheng right now. Why did you come back?"

"I've got a plan!"

Xia Fengyin chuckled, looking confident.

"You've come up with a plan? So fast!"

Huo Guang was overjoyed to hear Xia Fengyin say that he had come up with a way to deal with Huo Teng and Huo Zheng in just over ten minutes. He struggled to sit up and asked expectantly, "What's the plan? Tell me quickly!"

Xia Fengyin found Xia Tengyun's anxious look amusing. He moved a stool over and sat down next to Huo Guang, smiling as he said, "I'll tell you now. You won't go back on your word, will you? Let me tell you, Siyan is mine!"

"Okay, okay, Yan'er is yours. Tell me your plan now!"

Huo Guang had been waiting for this day for over ten years, and seeing Xia Fengyin still keeping him in suspense, he urged him impatiently.

"My solution is actually quite simple: just declare Huo Fengtian as the next successor to the Huo family patriarch!"

"What? You want me to designate Huo Fengtian as the successor to the Huo family patriarch?"

Huo Guang seemed unable to believe his ears. His face paled further, and after a moment of silent thought, he asked, "Why? Do you also think I should bow down and admit defeat to Huo Teng and his son? Cough, cough!"

Huo Guang coughed violently due to his agitation.

Xia Fengyin quickly went to pat Huo Guang's back, and only after he felt better did she explain, "I asked you to designate Huo Fengtian as the successor to the Huo family patriarch, not to hand over the position to him right now. Besides, I'm asking you, does Huo Zheng have any children?"

"Not passing the position of clan leader to Huo Fengtian?"

Huo Guang was almost confused by Xia Fengyin. He shook his head and replied, "Huo Zheng originally had two sons and a daughter, but his eldest son died of illness. Now only his second son, Huo Jingtao, and daughter, Huo Yuqin, remain. Huo Jingtao is two years older than Huo Fengtian and is very aloof. He rarely greets anyone. Huo Yuqin, on the other hand, is not only beautiful but also a close childhood friend of Yan'er. The two are very intimate. Why are you asking this?

Huo Zheng has a son and a daughter; no wonder the servants call Huo Fengtian the Third Young Master. But as for Huo Yuqin, I wonder what she looks like, hehe!" A lewd thought flashed through Xia Fengyin's mind, but he immediately put the important matter at hand and continued, "Not only will I make you announce Huo Fengtian as the successor to the Huo family clan leader, but I will also make you do the same thing to Huo Jingtao again!"

"Why? That will definitely cause internal strife within the Huo family!" Huo Guang

was increasingly confused. What exactly was Xia Fengyin trying to say?

Xia Fengyin glanced at Huo Guang's puzzled expression and chuckled, "I had you simultaneously announce Huo Fengtian and Huo Jingtao as the successors to the Huo family patriarch to incite internal strife within the Huo family. Then Huo Teng and his son, and Huo Zheng and his son, will fight tooth and nail for the right to inherit the patriarchal position! We can then sit back and watch them fight, reaping the benefits!"

"A good idea to reap the benefits, that seems like a good plan!"

Huo Guang's eyes flashed with delight upon hearing Xia Fengyin's analysis, but he quickly became serious, saying, "Huo Teng and the others probably aren't that stupid. Besides, when they realize what's going on, they'll definitely think we're the ones behind this. If they join forces against us, we'll end up losing more than we gain!" "

Chapter 229: The King of Conspiracy

Actually, Huo Guang's words make a lot of sense. The reason why Huo Teng and Huo Zheng, the two pairs of fathers and sons, have been able to reach their current positions in the Huo family is not simply because they both share the same surname, but because they are both very talented. They are adept at manipulating power, attracting investment and business; they all have unique abilities! If they had realized from the beginning that this was a trap, or if they had suddenly woken up halfway through the struggle, then Huo Guang would be in big trouble!

"Such a situation could indeed happen, but have you ever thought about why Huo Teng and Huo Zheng, as your own brothers, would go to such lengths to frame you? It's because they are blinded by profit!" When people are blinded by self-interest, their minds become clouded. If you were to add this clause when announcing Huo Fengtian and Huo Jingtao as candidates for the next generation of Huo family head, stating that you would not pass the position to Si Yan unless Huo Fengtian and Huo Jingtao commit any serious offenses, you would avoid their concerns. They would then engage in open and covert struggles for the position. Think about it: when two tigers fight, how can they avoid getting hurt? Once one is injured and the other is in the wrong, you can step in and disqualify them from the position. Then, besides Si Yan, who else in the Huo family would be more qualified to inherit the position of family head?

As Xia Fengyin spoke, a smug look appeared on his face. Indeed, this method was absolutely feasible. As long as it was handled properly, Huo Guang could easily put Huo Siyan on the position of clan leader without losing a single soldier! Xia Fengyin touched his face. It seems that besides being handsome, he is also quite clever!

After listening to Xia Fengyin's analysis, Huo Guang nodded in agreement, but then he raised another question: "Huo Teng and his companion control half of the Huo family's businesses and economic resources. Even if we defeat them, the Huo family will inevitably suffer a severe blow. How will we be able to stand among the four great families then?"

This old man doesn't think of a solution himself, but I have one. He really has a lot of questions. Xia Fengyin was immediately annoyed by Huo Guang's questions, but he had already thought of a solution. He confidently replied, "This is indeed a question worth pondering, but luckily you met me. I've already thought of a solution for you!"

Xia Fengyin chuckled, without revealing his plan.

"What's the plan?"

Huo Guang was both surprised and delighted to hear that Xia Fengyin had thought everything through. He was delighted because with Xia Fengyin's help, he was confident that he could handle Huo Teng and Huo Zheng. He was surprised because Xia Fengyin usually seemed like a good-for-nothing and glib-tongued person, but when it came to serious matters, he was surprisingly resourceful. It seemed that the God of Gamblers, Gao Jin, had not been wrong in choosing him as his successor!

"The solution is for you to seize complete control of the Huo family's finances. Only then, when both sides are exhausted, can you suppress the rest of the Huo family. After all, designating a girl as the Huo family patriarch's heir is unprecedented!"

Xia Fengyin said solemnly. Yesterday, he learned from Huo Siyan that the position of Huo family patriarch has always been passed down to sons, not daughters. If the patriarch has no son, he must pass the position to his brother's son before his death. Now, Huo Guang wants to change the ancestral rule and designate Huo Siyan as his heir, which will inevitably cause doubts throughout the Huo family. With so many people talking, it's hard to predict what will happen. But if Huo Guang controls the Huo family's entire economic lifeline, then others will have no choice but to submit!

Upon hearing Xia Fengyin's words, Huo Guang's joy vanished instantly. He sighed and said, "How easy is it to take control of Huo Ji's entire economic lifeline? Back in the Huo family's ancestors' time, to prevent dictatorship, all the Huo family's businesses and other economic resources were entrusted to different members of the Huo family. Even as the patriarch, I only control about 40% of the Huo family's economic resources. Huo Teng and Huo Zheng control about 30%, and the other 30% is held by several older members of the Huo family. Their thinking is outdated; getting them to relinquish their economic power is harder than climbing to heaven!"

"I've thought all of this through. I'm not asking you to openly ask them, but rather to find other ways to take complete control of the Huo family's economic power!"

Xia Fengyin said, a clear smile on his face. It seemed that Huo Guang, who had dominated the business world for decades, was not so difficult after all. If I were to get involved in some real businesses in the future, I could not only collect money from the casinos, but also have my companies generate a considerable amount of income each year! As Xia Fengyin pondered, a cunning smile involuntarily crept onto his face. Huo Guang, seeing this, was immediately alarmed. This Xia Fengyin was not only clever but also incredibly cunning. Luckily, he wasn't his enemy, or he would have met a terrible end!

"What brilliant plan do you have? Tell me quickly!"

Huo Guang couldn't wait any longer and urged impatiently.

"Hehe!"

Having successfully piqued Huo Guang's interest, Xia Fengyin finally spoke: "Didn't you announce Huo Fengtian and Huo Jingtao as candidates for the next generation of Huo family patriarch? You can set a deadline for them, allowing them to compete, with the winner taking the crown. But before the competition begins, to ensure fairness, you can transfer all the money in all Huo family accounts to one card, including your own. Once you lead the way, everyone will at most complain in their hearts, but they'll have no choice but to follow suit. As for that bank card that holds all the Huo family's wealth! You can leave it to—you to manage! You're the patriarch, after all! Hehe!" Listening to Xia Fengyin's analysis, Huo

Guang couldn't help but nod in approval. However, when he heard the pause in Xia Fengyin's words, he was startled, thinking that Xia Fengyin was going to say that the bank card holding all of the Huo family's assets would be handed over to him. But when he heard that it was to be handed over to him, he breathed a sigh of relief. He gave a thumbs up and said with a smile, "Putting all of the Huo family's money into one card is indeed a good idea! At that time, the Huo family's economic lifeline will be in my hands. When I say that Yan'er will be the successor to the clan leader, who will dare to object! Hahaha!"

Huo Guang laughed loudly, a rare occurrence

for him. "Hahaha, Uncle, there's something I don't know whether I should say or not!"

Xia Fengyin's expression became extremely serious after Huo Guang finished laughing.

"Go ahead, is there anything inappropriate?"

Huo Guang's face was flushed from laughing, and he was a little out of breath as he spoke.

"Well, Uncle, do you even know what illness you have?"

"What illness do I have? Of course I know. Do you think I've been poisoned by Miao witchcraft?"

Huo Guang said this with a smug look on his face. But this time, it was Xia Fengyin's turn to be surprised. Huo Guang actually knew the cause of his illness. Hadn't I already told Huo Siyan and her daughter not to tell Huo Guang the cause of his illness until they found a Miao doctor who could cure the witchcraft? Xia Fengyin did this partly because he was afraid of guessing wrong and causing unnecessary trouble, and partly because he was afraid that Huo Guang would become even more anxious about his condition. After all, witchcraft was not so easy to cure.

"Yes, your symptoms do indeed seem to be caused by Miao witchcraft!"

Xia Fengyin sighed, still believing that his previous judgment was correct, because Huo Guang's symptoms were exactly the same as those of the young man from his hometown who had died from Miao witchcraft.

"Haha, your guess is wrong. Actually, I wasn't poisoned by the Miao people's Gu poison! This was all a deception I created using the most advanced foreign hormones, just to deceive Huo Teng and the others!"

Huo Guang said, his tone full of pride. "I did this simply to buy time!"

"Buy time? What exactly is going on?"

Xia Fengyin was completely confused by Huo Guang's words.

"It's like this: a year ago, I donated to a Hope Primary School in the Miao region. Later, the local government invited me to cut the ribbon when the school was completed. I had never met any Miao people before, so I gladly accepted. But when Huo Teng found out, he actually bribed a Miao woman to assassinate me, trying to keep me on the mainland forever. But his scheme failed. After the Miao woman learned that I had done good for the Miao people, she immediately decided not to use Gu poison on me anymore and told her about Huo Teng bribing her to assassinate me. From that time on, I..." "Determined to bring down Huo Teng and his son before I die, I devised a plan. I pretended to be poisoned by the Miao people's Gu poison, and to make them believe it, I bought a state-of-the-art hormone from America. This hormone, once injected, makes one appear as if they've been poisoned by the Miao Gu. Sure enough, Huo Teng and his men believed it and slowed down their attacks on me!"

Xia Fengyin was astonished by Huo Guang's explanation. It seemed this man wasn't as simple as he appeared. To have been the head of the Huo family for decades, he must possess deep cunning and superb strategic skills.

Xia Fengyin calmed his surprise and asked with a smile, "So, you're not sick at all? Your bedridden state is just a delaying tactic!"

"No, if I were healthy, why would I want to lie here? I was diagnosed with stomach cancer three years ago, but I didn't reveal it to Yan'er and the others so they wouldn't worry!"

When Huo Guang said this, his face was full of vicissitudes and helplessness. Yes, no matter if you are a monarch who rules a region or an invincible hero, you will eventually find it difficult to fight against fate. In Chinese history, there have been many emperors and powerful ministers who tried to find the elixir of immortality at all costs in order to resist the death arranged by fate. But in the end, not everyone turned into the dust of history.

Seeing Xia Fengyin remain silent, Huo Guang continued, "Actually, I met your master, Gao Jin, three years ago. I was undergoing chemotherapy for stomach cancer, and that's where I met your master. He was also undergoing chemotherapy for lung cancer. When these two old men, both nearing death, came together, we became inseparable friends. Your arrival at the Huo family was indeed an accident, but have you ever considered that you've had such a smooth experience at my house? I hardly questioned your background before treating you like a close friend. That's because your master has already spoken to me. In other words, I already know that you are the God of Gamblers' disciple. Your master promised to let you help me through this difficult time, and I also promised your master that I would support you when you conquer the gambling world in the future!"

"So, you also arranged Xie Canghai's assassination attempt on me, to make me dislike Huo Teng and his son, so that you would help me deal with them!"

Xia Fengyin immediately guessed that Xie Canghai's betrayal might have been arranged by Huo Guang when he heard that Huo Guang knew his master and had a very close relationship with him. The Huo family's defenses were very tight. They not only kept more than a dozen purebred German Shepherds, but also installed a surveillance system around the villa. Under such circumstances, it would be almost impossible for an assassin to come to the Huo family villa undetected and enter a room to kill someone with a knife. Recalling the situation of Xie Canghai's assassination attempt on him that night, Xia Fengyin immediately understood that all of this was an act put on by Gao Jin, Huo Guang, and Xie Canghai.

"Yes, you're very clever. This was indeed our arrangement. We did this to teach you about the darkness of the world and the wickedness of human nature, a lesson for your future success in the gambling world. We hope you won't blame us!"

Huo Guang said, his tone tinged with shame. After all, it was these three old men who had meticulously set a trap for Xia Fengyin. Gao Jin could be said to have no ulterior motives, but he himself did. For the Huo family to survive better in the future, they had to maintain good relations with the Heavenly God Sect. And Xia Fengyin, standing before him, was the God of Gamblers' apprentice and the future master of the Heavenly God Sect.

"What's the use of getting angry now? I'm already trapped in your scheme!"

Xia Fengyin gave a bitter smile and walked towards the door. It seemed his wit was far inferior to those underworld bosses. Huo Guang and Gao Jin were the true masters of intrigue. If he wanted to dominate the future gambling world, he needed to learn more cunning tactics.

Chapter 230: Explicit Love Talk

When Xia Fengyin came out, Huo Guang didn't stop him. He went straight to the garden next to the villa to clear his head. He suddenly thought of Qin Ruyan and Zhang Lingqi. With them, he never had to worry about anything, didn't have to hide his thoughts, and didn't have to hide his emotions. To be honest, Xia Fengyin now missed his school days. He even wanted to return the title of "God of Gamblers' Apprentice" to Gao Jin and live a secluded life with his many wives in a beautiful, tranquil place. But now it was all too late. Since he had chosen this path, he had to keep going until he reached the pinnacle of glory. Thinking

this, Xia Fengyin suddenly wanted to call Zhang Lingqi. Without hesitation, Xia Fengyin took out his phone and dialed Zhang Lingqi's number.

"Hello, is this my wife Qiqi?"

"Yes, Fengyin, is that you? Why are you calling me so late? How are you doing in Hong Kong? Have you found Yanyan yet?"

Zhang Lingqi answered the phone and was immediately excited when she heard it was Xia Fengyin. The next four questions warmed Xia Fengyin's heart. It's a blessing to be cared for and remembered!

"I'm doing well in Hong Kong now. I haven't found Yan Yan yet, but it'll be soon. I'll come back to be with you when I find her. How are you doing? Has anyone bullied you? Do you look at other boys? Are any boys pursuing you? Do you think about me at night?"

Zhang Lingqi's four questions elicited five responses from Xia Fengyin. Hearing that Qin Ruyan would be found soon, Zhang Lingqi felt relieved and giggled, saying, "Yes, there are at least eight hundred, if not a thousand, boys at school who like me. They give me chocolates and roses every day, and I receive a whole bagful of love letters every day! Oh dear, if you don't come back soon, I'll really fall for you! Hehe!"

"No, you can't accept gifts from other boys. You're my wife, Xia Fengyin's!"

Xia Fengyin shouted excitedly in the garden.

"Hehe, I was just kidding! I can't sleep at night thinking about you! Hey, come back soon after you find Yan Yan! I miss you both so much!"

Zhang Lingqi quickly stopped joking when she heard Xia Fengyin seem about to get angry, and sweetly said some cheesy love words. Zhang Lingqi had always been a well-behaved girl, very honest, but since being with Xia Fengyin, she had become a bit mischievous.

"Yeah, I know, you have to take good care of yourself. I'll try to come back as soon as possible, and then, the three of us, hehe!"

Xia Fengyin grinned lewdly, actually thinking of something.

"Who wants the three of us, you big bad guy!"

Zhang Lingqi's heart was already racing and her face was flushed after hearing Xia Fengyin's explicit love words. Luckily, Xia Fengyin was in Hong Kong and couldn't see it, otherwise he would have made a fool of himself again!

Although Xia Fengyin couldn't see Zhang Lingqi's face, he knew that the girl must be blushing now. He felt excited and decided to continue teasing her.

Xia Fengyin's smile faded, and he said seriously, "Qiqi! What are you thinking? Do you think your husband is that kind of person with dirty thoughts? I just wanted to say that the three of us can eat together and go shopping together!"

"Are you kidding me? Do you think I don't know what kind of person you are?"

Zhang Lingqi was silent for a moment, then suddenly whispered, "If Yan Yan is willing, I'm willing too. I just hope you guys come back soon. Okay, I'm not talking anymore, I have to go to class, bye-bye!"

"Okay, give me a kiss, wife, you have to wait for me to come back!"

Xia Fengyin said, hanging up the phone and putting away his phone.

Hehe! Qiqi is really good. When she finds Yan Yan, maybe the three of us can really have fun together! Haha, it seems that I, Xia Fengyin, am really lucky with women! Xia Fengyin thought, a lewd smile appearing on his face.

"Who did you just call 'wife'?"

Just as Xia Fengyin was excited, Huo Siyan's voice rang out from behind him.

"No! You must have misheard!"

Xia Fengyin said, quickly moving to Huo Siyan's side. He knew this girl was strongly against polygamy; if she found out, she'd probably castrate him.

"No, I clearly heard you call me 'wife.' Have you already found a girlfriend?"

Huo Siyan said, her beautiful eyes fixed on Xia Fengyin's to prevent him from continuing his lies.

"No, if I had, wouldn't I tell you?"

Xia Fengyin chuckled, then tried to head towards his room. The more he tried to cover it up, the worse it would get; he'd better get away

first! "Don't go yet! Actually, I don't object to guys who have two partners at the same time; on the contrary, I kind of admire them!"

Huo Siyan playfully blocked Xia Fengyin's path, giving him a dose of calm.

"Really? Didn't you used to say you hated polygamy the most?"

Xia Fengyin looked at Huo Siyan suspiciously. This girl's sudden change of heart regarding marriage must be strange.

"Yes, do you remember when you introduced me to Cuiweiju to read novels? I thought the novels there were quite good, and I wasn't so opposed to polygamy anymore; on the contrary, I even longed for it!"

Huo Siyan said, clasping her hands together in front of her chest, looking like she'd been longing for it for a long time. "Now you can tell me, are you two-timing?"

"No! Really!"

"Don't you believe me?"

Huo Siyan looked at Xia Fengyin slyly, looking incredibly cute.

"No, I'm not two-timing. Besides my girlfriend Yanyan, there's Qiqi, Sisi, Qingqing, Lanlan, Ziyan, Ruoxi—"

Xia Fengyin said, his face full of smugness. "Now I can't even count the women on two hands!"

"What?! So you're not a two-timing womanizer after all? You're a lecherous wolf who falls for every girl he sees!"

Upon hearing Xia Fengyin say he had so many women, Huo Siyan's face flushed red with anger. She stomped her foot and stormed off to her room.

"Hey, Siyan, Siyan, don't go! Didn't you say you wouldn't be angry?"

Seeing Huo Siyan was truly angry, Xia Fengyin panicked and quickly chased after her, blocking her path.

"I could tolerate you two-timing, but I never imagined you had so many women! It's like you're juggling a large fleet! Humph! I hate you!"

Huo Siyan said, her eyes filled with resentment. She had developed some feelings for Xia Fengyin, and this was the first time in her life she had experienced romantic feelings. But she hadn't expected this outcome. Huo Siyan had originally come to the garden to find Xia Fengyin, but instead, this guy was hiding here, talking to another girl on his phone, their sweet talk... oh my! Thinking about what Xia Fengyin had said on the phone, Huo Siyan couldn't help but get goosebumps.

"Siyan, I'm not what you think. I don't fall in love with every woman I meet! I swear!"

Xia Fengyin said, even raising his right hand in a mock-serious manner. "I usually need to meet several women before I fall in love."

"I know you won't fall in love with every woman you meet!"

"Really, Siyan, you believe me? You're so smart, so considerate, so gentle, so...you know!"

Xia Fengyin was overjoyed that Huo Siyan believed him even before he swore an oath.

"I don't believe you, but you're the kind of person who only thinks about possessing beautiful women, humph!"

I want to possess all the beautiful women in the world! That's probably every man's dream! Xia Fengyin envisions himself living a carefree life with a group of beauties, and of course, he would never let go of a stunning beauty like Huo Siyan. Looking at Huo Siyan's cute expression when she was angry, Xia Fengyin couldn't help but pat her head and said, "Since I've already admitted it, tell me what you want me to do to forgive me. If you don't forgive me, I won't let you into the house!"

"You're such a scoundrel!"

Huo Siyan gave Xia Fengyin a helpless look. "I can forgive you, but tonight you have to come with me to see the night view!"

Seeing the night view, that's a good idea. I always like to be active at night! Since Hong Kong is known as the Pearl of the Orient, its night view must be incredibly beautiful and captivating. Plus, with a beautiful woman by his side, this is a dream come true! Xia Fengyin grew increasingly excited, even starting to consider how to hold Huo Siyan in his arms tonight.

"What, you dare refuse?"

Seeing Xia Fengyin's sly grin but his continued silence, Huo Siyan immediately raised her small fist and waved it defiantly in front of his eyes.

Huo Siyan's hands were exceptionally beautiful; her fingers were like jade, and her arms were flawless and radiant. Last time on the plane, Xia Fengyin was attracted to Huo Siyan's hands, and now, with those hands just centimeters away from him, he was completely mesmerized.

"You pig, are you willing or not?"

Huo Siyan was starting to get angry. This was the first time she had ever invited another boy; how embarrassing it would be to be rejected!

"Yes, yes!"

Xia Fengyin snapped out of his daze, nodding like a chicken pecking at rice. "I just couldn't believe my ears! Our beautiful and gentle Siyan actually invited me to go see the night view with her! My apologies, my apologies!"

Xia Fengyin even clasped his hands in a gesture of respect, like an ancient scholar.

"I knew you'd say yes!"

Huo Siyan smiled smugly. Xia Fengyin's flattery had hit the mark. What girl in the world could resist a man's sweet words? Especially since this man was the one Huo Siyan loved!

Xia Fengyin and Xia Yuhe chatted for a while longer. Huo Siyan had to go out, leaving Xia Fengyin helplessly in his room to practice his gambling skills.

Around eight o'clock that evening, Xia Fengyin noticed Huo Siyan hadn't come to find him yet, and he started to worry. Was this girl playing a trick on him? They had agreed to leave at eight o'clock, and there wasn't a trace of her! "Fine, I'll go check her room!"

Xia Fengyin arrived at Huo Siyan's room, knocked on the door, and it opened. Huo Siyan appeared before Xia Fengyin with light makeup on. Xia Fengyin was immediately stunned. Huo Siyan looked even more beautiful than during the day. Not only did she exude a noble air, but her delicate, fair face also became more radiant. A diamond necklace adorned her flawless neck, and her long, smooth black hair cascaded down her back. Slender waist, full breasts, long legs—she had the face of an angel and the figure of a devil! As Xia Fengyin gazed at her, a few drops of saliva even trickled from the corner of his mouth.

Seeing Xia Fengyin's lecherous appearance, Huo Siyan wasn't angry at all; instead, she smiled smugly: "Are you in a hurry to go out with me right now?"

"Yes! No, no, I was just passing by and stopped by. Are you ready? Let's go right away!"

Although Xia Fengyin was currently overcome with lust, he hadn't forgotten his pride. He actually made up a story that he was just passing by Huo Siyan's room and stopped by to take a look. He pretended to be nonchalant, but his expression betrayed his true thoughts!

Chapter 231: A Romantic Night

Huo Siyan listened to Xia Fengyin's clumsy lie but didn't expose him. Since he cared about his pride, she would give him what he wanted! Huo Siyan smiled and said, "I'm so sorry, I was a little late because I was putting on makeup! I wonder if my makeup looks good?"

"Yes, no, it should be very beautiful!"

Xia Fengyin chuckled and sincerely praised.

"Okay, thank you. Let's go now!"

Hearing Xia Fengyin's praise, Huo Siyan felt a surge of sweetness in her heart. Although countless people had praised her beauty since childhood, and she had heard all sorts of flowery words, hearing Xia Fengyin's simple "okay" and "beautiful" filled Huo Siyan with immense satisfaction.

When Huo Siyan and Xia Fengyin left, they drove a luxurious Mercedes-Benz. As the daughter of the Huo family patriarch, Huo Siyan had always had her own sports car.

"Siyan, where are we going?"

Xia Fengyin was unfamiliar with Hong Kong. Looking out the car window, everything seemed the same, making him feel dizzy. He hurriedly asked Huo Siyan, who was born and raised in Hong Kong, for help.

Huo Siyan smiled charmingly as she drove, "Let's go to Kowloon! The night view there is the most beautiful! And there are lots of local snacks there. We can eat while enjoying the night view!"

"Snacks too!"

Xia Fengyin's eyes lit up when he heard about the food in Kowloon, and he exclaimed excitedly. But when he saw Huo Siyan's surprised expression, he quickly laughed it off, "I mean we should try to eat less junk food like snacks. They're not nutritious. Of course, I don't care! I'm mainly worried about you. If you eat too many snacks, you'll turn into a big fat pig!"

"You're the big fat pig!"

Huo Siyan rolled her eyes at Xia Fengyin and continued driving, no longer talking to him.

Huo Siyan's home wasn't far from Kowloon, about a ten-minute drive away. She parked the car in a parking lot and went with Xia Fengyin to a small square by the sea to enjoy the night view.

Hong Kong's night view truly lived up to its reputation. Everywhere was ablaze with colorful neon lights, which appeared at varying heights due to the varying building heights, creating an ethereal, otherworldly atmosphere. The wide streets bustled with traffic, and on both sides were densely packed snack shops and stores. Not far from Xia Fengyin were several seemingly simple guesthouses. These guesthouses catered specifically to couples strolling in the evenings or tourists visiting Hong Kong.

"It's so beautiful!"

Huo Siyan stood before the railing, arms outstretched, letting the sea breeze caress her face. Her long hair danced in the wind, giving her an ethereal, fairy-like appearance.

Xia Fengyin, however, was no longer interested in admiring the night view. His eyes were fixed on Huo Siyan's breasts, which were tightly bound by her top in the sea breeze, while his mind raced, trying to figure out how to win over this beautiful woman! Although Huo Guang had agreed to Xia Fengyin's request to marry Huo Siyan to him, it was on the condition that Xia Fengyin help Huo Guang defeat Huo Teng and his group. Therefore, Xia Fengyin was now only thinking about making it a fait accompli as soon as possible!

"What are you looking at?"

Feeling Xia Fengyin's intensely invasive gaze, Huo Siyan suddenly turned her head and asked shyly.

"Nothing, nothing!"

Xia Fengyin smiled awkwardly. "Hey, Siyan, what's that?"

Seeing that Huo Siyan didn't believe him, Xia Fengyin quickly pointed to the distant sea to divert her attention.

"Wow, what adorable dolphins!"

Huo Siyan looked in the direction Xia Fengyin was pointing and immediately clapped her hands excitedly. Not far from the water, two gray-black dolphins were happily playing with each other. They sometimes struggled forward and sometimes leaped out of the water. Their cute and comical appearance immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding tourists, and many of them took out their cameras to capture this precious moment.

"It's like God is helping me! I just pointed randomly, and two adorable dolphins appeared!" Xia Fengyin suddenly thought of a romantic TV series, "Lovers at Dolphin Bay." "Could it be that fate is arranging for Siyan and me to fall in love here? What am I waiting for?"

Taking advantage of Huo Siyan's attention being completely focused on the dolphins, Xia Fengyin slowly walked behind her, stretched out his arms, and pulled her into a tight embrace. Huo Siyan was startled, but when she turned around and saw it was Xia Fengyin, she didn't struggle much and let him hold her. However, it was the first time she had been held in a boy's arms, and Huo Siyan's face flushed, her ears turning red. She lowered her head, no longer paying attention to the two dolphins that were still performing! She placed her hands on top of Xia Fengyin's, her heart filled with sweetness and shyness!

"Siyan, will you be my girlfriend?"

Seeing that Huo Siyan was already moved, Xia Fengyin quickly seized the opportunity and asked in an extremely affectionate tone.

"Hmm! No, no, you already have so many women!"

Huo Siyan's first reaction upon hearing Xia Fengyin's words was to agree, but she suddenly remembered that Xia Fengyin already had many women, and she changed her mind shyly and somewhat angrily.

"Why not! So what if I have many women? Does that mean we can't be together if we truly love each other?"

"No, I'm just afraid, afraid that others will laugh at me!"

Seeing that Xia Fengyin's tone had hardened, Huo Siyan thought he was angry, so she immediately mustered her courage and boldly stated the reason.

"Silly girl!"

Xia Fengyin smiled and stroked Huo Siyan's rosy cheek. "Why should we care about what worldly people think? Let them say what they want, let them laugh if they want! As long as we truly love each other and rely on each other, no one can stop us from living together. Don't worry, I've already thought of a way to arrange things for you. After we finish dealing with things here, someone will naturally help us arrange a place to live. Then, we can live happily together every day!"

"Really? Can we really do that in the future?"

Huo Siyan's heart was filled with longing after hearing Xia Fengyin's words. Being able to stay with the one you love is indeed a great thing in life. Although Huo Siyan was beautiful, she was still a girl, and her mindset was the same as all girls in the world.

"Of course, don't you trust me?"

Xia Fengyin said, turning Huo Siyan around so she was facing him. To avoid Huo Siyan being embarrassed by being seen by passersby, Xia Fengyin considerately positioned her facing the sea, so she wouldn't feel awkward.

In such a romantic atmosphere, people are easily moved and impulsive. Listening to Xia Fengyin's eloquent and incredibly affectionate words, Huo Siyan finally relented.

"Yes, I believe you!"

Huo Siyan answered firmly, bravely raising her head, her beautiful eyes filled with tenderness and love as she looked at Xia Fengyin. Overwhelmed by emotion, looking at Huo Siyan's rosy and slightly trembling cherry lips, Xia Fengyin could no longer resist and slowly kissed her lips. Closer, closer! Their lips finally met completely. Huo Siyan gave her first kiss to the man she loved, and Xia Fengyin, in turn, marked Huo Siyan with his own unique identity.

After a long while, the affectionate couple separated, panting. Xia Fengyin held Huo Siyan tightly in his arms, and Huo Siyan nestled against him, greedily savoring Xia Fengyin's genuine love.

Suddenly, Xia Fengyin spotted a familiar young man. He and two middle-aged men in black suits quickly entered a simple inn near the square. This young man was Huo Fengtian, who wanted to vie for the position of Huo family head. Strange, why would someone of his status stay in such a low-class inn? The more Xia Fengyin thought about it, the more suspicious he became. There must be some unspeakable secret!

Thinking this, Xia Fengyin quickly released Huo Siyan, grabbed her hand, and ran towards the inn Huo Fengtian had entered.

"What are you doing? Where are we going?"

Huo Siyan, still immersed in the sweetness of love, was suddenly released by Xia Fengyin and inexplicably pulled away. She immediately asked in surprise.

"To the inn across the street!"

Xia Fengyin replied, turning around.

"Go to a hotel? Does he want to do 'that' with me so soon?" Huo Siyan misunderstood Xia Fengyin's meaning, thinking she was going to drag her to a hotel! She felt incredibly embarrassed, her face turning a bright red like a ripe apple. She didn't want her first time to happen in this shabby, low-class hotel. Calming her nerves, she mustered her courage and said, "Let's not go to that kind of place, okay? We can... we can do it at home!"

"Do it at home? What for?"

Xia Fengyin was completely focused on Huo Fengtian and didn't immediately understand Huo Siyan's words.

But Huo Siyan thought Xia Fengyin was pretending to be stupid and teasing her, and immediately got angry. She said coquettishly with a face full of displeasure, "What did you say? It's what you wanted to do with me at the hotel!"

"Oh!"

Xia Fengyin finally understood. He tried his best to suppress his laughter and explained with difficulty, "It's not what you think. How could I take you to such a low-class hotel to do that? I just saw Huo Fengtian sneaking into this hotel with two men in black suits, and I immediately became suspicious, so I decided to follow them in to see. You little rascal, what are you thinking!"

"Are you trying to kill me! You didn't explain clearly and scared me half to death!"

Huo Siyan said coquettishly, and kicked Xia Fengyin's leg with her small foot: "I'll teach you to scare me!"

"Okay, okay, I admit I was wrong, alright?"

Xia Fengyin knew that this was not the time to joke around with Huo Siyan, so he quickly apologized with a smile.

"That's more like it!"

Huo Siyan smiled with satisfaction, then followed Xia Fengyin into the hotel. Huo Siyan knew this wasn't the time for frivolity. Seeing Xia Fengyin's cautious expression, she knew this matter was definitely significant, and there might even be unexpected gains!

Xia Fengyin pulled Huo Siyan into the hotel, finding it surprisingly clean and luxuriously decorated. He went to the counter, found the receptionist, and asked, "A young man and two middle-aged men in black suits came in just now. What room are they staying in?"

The receptionist glanced at Xia Fengyin and lowered her head: "I don't know!"

Don't know? Are you blind?! Xia Fengyin cursed inwardly, then immediately understood the waitress's meaning. "Damn it, all she wants is money!" Xia Fengyin pulled out a hundred-yuan bill and threw it on the counter, grinning, "Miss, can I tell you now?"

Seeing how well-mannered and quick-witted Xia Fengyin was, the waitress quickly and cheerfully pocketed the bill, whispering, "Room 503!"

"Then I'll take room 504!"

Xia Fengyin said, pulling out two more hundred-yuan bills. He was truly wealthy now and didn't care about such a small amount.

"No!"

The waitress was overjoyed at Xia Fengyin's generosity, quickly pocketing the bills, but verbally refusing his request.

"What? You don't have it, yet you took the money so quickly!"

Xia Fengyin immediately became angry. Taking money quickly was fine, but you should at least do something for me!

Seeing that Xia Fengyin, who had just been all smiles and generous spending, was now angry, the waitress hurriedly explained, "That's not what I meant! Our hotel doesn't have room 504. It's because that number is unlucky, and the boss canceled it!"

"Unlucky? Why is it unlucky?"

Xia Fengyin asked curiously.

"That's because 504 sounds like 'I'm definitely going to die' in Chinese. Think about it, what guest would want to stay in a room like that!"

The waitress said, taking a key from under the counter and handing it to Xia Fengyin: "Here, this is the key to 526. You can use it!"

"We don't want the key to 526, we want 502!"

Xia Fengyin immediately understood that the waitress's words were a euphemism for something else. She thought he had brought Huo Siyan here to do *that*! If he wanted to do *that*, he wouldn't come to a low-class hotel like this!

"Hurry up and give me the key to 502!"

Xia Fengyin seemed impatient. Wasting time was a small matter; if it delayed something important, that would be unforgivable!

"Okay, here you go!"

Seeing Xia Fengyin's impatient expression, the waitress hurriedly took out the key to room 502. Xia Fengyin took the key and quickly pulled Huo Siyan upstairs.

Seeing Xia Fengyin's hurried manner, the waitress muttered, "They're clearly in a hurry to do 'that,' but they won't admit it. So hypocritical!"

When Xia Fengyin arrived on the fifth floor, he saw that room 504 was indeed missing. Room 503 was at the very end of the corridor, next to room 502, which Xia Fengyin had requested. The door to room 503 was already closed, so Xia Fengyin quickly pulled Huo Siyan into room 502.

The inn was very simply furnished; the room only had a large bed and a television. The soundproofing of the walls was very poor, with holes in some places. There happened to be a small crack in the wall between Xia Fengyin's room and room 503. Xia Fengyin quickly looked through the crack and saw Huo Fengtian sitting there, while two other middle-aged men stood there. Curious, Huo Siyan also came closer. Xia Fengyin quickly moved aside so that although they couldn't see clearly what Huo Fengtian and the others were doing, they could hear the sounds clearly.

Chapter 232: Simple Hotel

At this moment, the middle-aged man with a full beard spoke up: "Young Master Huo, you should consider our proposal. Now that the God of Gamblers has joined forces with Huo Guang, if you don't have the help of our Earth Demon Sect, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to take the position of Huo family patriarch!"

"Hmm, I know that too, but I need to discuss this with my father. Your conditions are indeed a bit harsh. You want me to give you 40 billion after I take the position of patriarch. That's one-third of our Huo family's assets!"

Huo Fengtian's face was full of hesitation. Obviously, he was reluctant to give 40 billion to the Earth Demon Sect.

"Hehe! Young Master Huo, you should understand that if you don't become the head of the Huo family, all of the Huo family's assets will belong to Huo Guang's daughter. Once she gets married, do you think you'll still have a share? She'll probably give the entire Huo family to her husband, and then all of you will be sleeping on the streets! Think about it, 40 billion is just a piece of cake compared to the entire Huo family. In a year or two, you can still earn it back!"

Seeing that Huo Fengtian didn't agree, another middle-aged man hurriedly added fuel to the fire.

"Alright, I agree!"

Huo Fengtian hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't resist the persuasion of the two middle-aged men, and patted his shoulder in agreement: "But you have to promise to help me take the position of head of the Huo family!"

"Haha, don't worry! You don't know the strength of our Earth Demon Sect. We mean what we say! But after it's done, you have to immediately fulfill your promise. Our young master wants to use this 40 billion as a wager!" After

the middle-aged man finished speaking, he patted Huo Fengtian's shoulder, his face full of cunning.

"That beast! He actually colluded with outsiders to seize the Xia family's property!"

Huo Siyan was already furious. Although she knew that Huo Teng and his son had long coveted the position of Huo family patriarch, she never imagined that Huo Fengtian would be so despicable. Huo Siyan stood up, intending to confront Huo Fengtian in room 503, but Xia Fengyin forcefully stopped her.

He whispered in Huo Siyan's ear, "Going there like that will only alert them. Let's keep our voices down. If they find out, we'll lose this unexpected gain!"

Upon hearing Xia Fengyin's words, Huo Siyan immediately understood his meaning and nodded obediently, inwardly blaming herself for her rashness, which had almost ruined everything. However, she admired Xia Fengyin more and more. Although this young man was usually playful and liked to flirt with girls and sometimes took advantage of others, he displayed extraordinary wit and intelligence at crucial moments. This kind of man, though a bit bad, knew how to take care of the woman he loved, and she would definitely be happy with him!

Seeing that Huo Siyan understood his meaning, Xia Fengyin quickly squatted down by the crack to listen again.

"Young Master Xia, our young master has made all the arrangements. You can rest assured, we will naturally make you satisfied. That's all for today. We'll contact you again if needed! Farewell!"

After saying that, the sound of the door opening came, indicating that they had left.

"They've left!"

Xia Fengyin stood up and said to Huo Siyan with a smile.

"Hmph! That beast! I'm going back right now to tell my dad to prepare!"

Huo Siyan no longer needed to suppress her anger. She abandoned all pretense of ladylike decorum and loudly cursed in front of Xia Fengyin.

"Eh!"

Xia Fengyin chuckled and sighed, even pretending to cover his ears. "Yuhe, I didn't expect you to be like this when you're angry!"

Hearing Xia Fengyin's teasing, Huo Siyan immediately realized her lapse in composure. Her face instantly turned bright red. She walked to Xia Fengyin's side, playfully pulling his arm, and whispered, "Was I ugly when I was angry?"

Huo Siyan felt very embarrassed for making a fool of herself in front of the man she loved.

"Yes! It was quite ugly!"

Xia Fengyin chuckled. Seeing how cute Huo Siyan was, he was suddenly seized by a playful impulse and decided to tease this adorable young girl.

"Really?"

Huo Siyan's face was full of anxiety, and tears even welled up in her eyes. Clearly, she cared a great deal about her image in Xia Fengyin's eyes. It wouldn't have mattered before, but now that he was her boyfriend, she had to always present her best in front of him.

Seeing Huo Siyan's pitiful appearance due to her anxiety, Xia Fengyin immediately felt that his joke had gone a bit too far. He reached out and pulled Huo Siyan into his arms, murmuring, "I said you're quite ugly because you're not as beautiful as Chang'e in heaven. As for the world, I can't find a girl more beautiful than you!"

Xia Fengyin's comforting words were indeed very effective; Huo Siyan immediately stopped crying and smiled: "Really? Didn't you say that your other women are all very beautiful, like fairies on earth?"

"Well, what I mean is, in my eyes, you are all equally beautiful!"

With that, Xia Fengyin lowered his head and kissed Huo Siyan's small lips.

Huo Siyan didn't dodge; instead, she reached out and tightly embraced Xia Fengyin's neck. She stood on tiptoe, responding passionately, her small, soft tongue entwining with Xia Fengyin's large tongue. Xia Fengyin, however, became even more greedy. His hands had already climbed onto Huo Siyan's full, firm breasts, and his mouth was desperately licking her fragrant saliva.

After a long while, the two finally separated, panting. Huo Siyan's face was flushed, her whole body hot; Xia Fengyin had aroused her desire. Her eyes were glazed, gazing longingly into his.

Xia Fengyin knew this was the perfect opportunity to take Huo Siyan's virginity, but he couldn't bear to do it in such a shabby inn. He struggled to suppress his burning desire and pulled Huo Siyan into his arms again: "Siyan, let's do it again tonight! Let's go to your super-sized one!"

"Who wants to do it with you?"

Huo Siyan spat lightly, quickly opening the door and heading out. But as she reached the door, she turned back adorably and said shyly, "Come to my room tonight!"

Without waiting for Xia Fengyin's reply, she ran quickly downstairs.

Hehe! "There's going to be something tonight," Xia Fengyin rubbed his hands together, his expression incredibly lewd, but then he quickly realized, "Siyan, wait for me! I don't know the way home!"

When the two returned home, it was already past ten o'clock at night. Just as they entered the door, a maid hurried over, bowing respectfully, and said, "Miss, the Second Miss came looking for you earlier and is waiting for you in the living room!"

"Okay!"

Huo Siyan giggled, turning to Xia Fengyin and saying, "I'm going to the living room now. Remember what I just said!"

With that, she followed the maid quickly towards the living room.

"I remember, I remember!"

Xia Fengyin shouted loudly from behind.

"Remember what?"

Madam Huo's clear and melodious voice rang out behind Xia Fengyin.

Xia Fengyin was startled. This was no joke! Saying he'd remember to do "that" in her daughter's room tonight in front of his future mother-in-law would be embarrassing for anyone. He turned around and feigned surprise, saying, "I was wondering why I smelled that wonderful fragrance! Oh, it's Madam. Hmm, Madam, why are you still up so late? Lack of sleep can affect a woman's skin!"

"Stop your nonsense! You took my daughter out, and she hasn't come back this late. How can I, as her mother, be at ease? Tell me, where did you go tonight? And what did Yan'er tell you to remember?"

Madam Huo was both angry and amused by Xia Fengyin's words. Xia Fengyin's flattery was getting better and better; he could flatter without batting an eye. But I still quite liked him.

"Oh, I just went outside with Siyan to see the Hong Kong night view. Wow, you don't know, the Hong Kong night view is really beautiful! Not only are the buildings very tall and everything is sparkling, but there are also many cars on the road, and so many shops along the street, selling shoes, clothes, and the food at the snack shops is also very delicious—"

Xia Fengyin rambled on and on. Mrs. Huo was getting tired of listening. Seeing that Xia Fengyin had no intention of stopping, she quickly reached out to stop him.

"Alright, I know what you two went out tonight. I'm asking you what Yan'er told you to remember?"

Damn, even this can't fool her. Xia Fengyin was quite impressed with Mrs. Huo's clear-headedness. He laughed and said, "I dare not say, for fear that Madam will say I'm flattering you!"

"Go ahead and say it, I won't blame you!"

Mrs. Huo smiled and gestured for Xia Fengyin to continue.

"Oh, it's like this. Siyan just told me that at home I must listen to Madam, saying that Madam is a wise woman who overlooks the world, and every word she says is golden advice. Whatever Madam tells me to do, I must do. If Madam tells me to go east, I must not go west. If Madam tells me to beat the dog, I must not catch the chicken. And also—"

"Alright, alright! I believe you!"

Madam Huo hadn't expected Xia Fengyin's flattery to be so effective, and hurriedly stopped him from continuing. For the sake of peace and quiet, she had no choice but to believe Xia Fengyin.

"You should get some rest!"

Madam Huo said, and walked towards the living room. Xia Fengyin watched Madam Huo's beautiful back from behind, but a cold sweat broke out on his back. Damn it, tonight, I've used all my skills.

Xia Fengyin didn't follow Madam Huo to the living room. Instead, he happily went back to his room to take a bath. His mind was filled with Huo Siyan's stunning beauty and enviable figure. Tonight, his long-held wish was about to come true! Ah! How wonderful! However, Xia Fengyin didn't expect that his failure to go to the living room would cause him to miss something important!

He returned to his room, soaked in some hot water, and sat down to bathe. While enjoying the bath, he unconsciously sang his favorite song, "The Counterfeit Shanghai Bund." The lyrics went something like this: "One day, I was taking a bath, and they secretly saw me. After they saw me, you laughed, laughing at me for being a little bird.

I said, brother, don't laugh. You can't judge a book by its cover. We're talking about skill and technique. Only after we've competed will we know.

I fell in love with a woman. I was ready to fire my bullet, but unexpectedly, she was a policewoman. She arrested me for sexual harassment. After releasing me, I was in a bad mood and wanted to find that policewoman to vent my anger."

I ran into a woman on the street who threw herself into my arms without a second thought. I asked, "Little sister, what's wrong?" She said she just wanted to sleep with me. My luck with women was about to change! Tonight, I was determined to have her! But then, I got the short end of the stick. It turned out this woman was a transvestite…

Chapter 233: The First Beauty

Xia Fengyin sang as she showered, taking about an hour. When Xia Fengyin emerged from the bathroom, refreshed, she saw the living room lights were off. Remembering what Huo Siyan had just said, Xia Fengyin quickly put on her pajamas and tiptoed towards Huo Siyan's apartment. When she got downstairs, she found the room lights were also off.

"Huh? Didn't Yuhe say she was waiting for me in her room?" "Oh! I know! That girl must be shy. Maybe she's wearing a sexy nightgown and waiting for me now!" Hehe! "I'm here!" Xia Fengyin chuckled lewdly, wiping the drool from his mouth, and immediately headed towards Huo Siyan's room. He was burning with lust, his mind clouded, and he wasn't thinking clearly.

When he arrived at Huo Siyan's room, he saw the door was ajar. Xia Fengyin grinned and immediately pushed the door open. The room was dark, and he could only vaguely see two mounds.

"Huh! Why are there two people?"

Xia Fengyin rubbed his eyes. Hehe, Siyan must have a habit of sleeping with a doll at night, but now that I'm here, that doll should retire!

Xia Fengyin walked to the bedside and bent down to touch the girl's soft breasts. Wow, so soft, so bouncy! Absolutely amazing! After touching them, Xia Fengyin put his hand to his nose and inhaled the girl's unique fragrance lingering on his fingers.

The girl felt someone touching her and immediately rolled over, muttering in her sleep, "You naughty Siyan! You can't even sleep properly!"

"What? It's not Siyan!"

Xia Fengyin was extremely surprised. It turned out that the person he had just touched wasn't Huo Siyan. At this moment, the woman on the other side heard the sound and immediately got up and covered Xia Fengyin's mouth, whispering in his ear, "Don't make a sound, it's me, Siyan!"

"You are Siyan!"

Xia Fengyin turned around. Although he couldn't see clearly, he could tell from the outline of her body that she was indeed Huo Siyan. "Then who is this?"

"Let's go outside and talk!"

After Huo Siyan finished speaking, she released her hand from Xia Fengyin and walked out of the room first. Xia Fengyin hurriedly followed behind.

The two arrived at Xia Fengyin's room. Upon entering, Xia Fengyin felt his nose almost bleed. Huo Siyan was only wearing a thin, silken nightgown, seemingly without anything underneath. Her breasts were almost spilling out, and her flawless, white arms shone with a pure, holy light under the lamplight. Her face was delicate and beautiful, especially her large, bright black eyes and cherry-red lips, which were incredibly alluring—the bane of every man!

"You bad boy, what are you looking at?"

Sensing the gleam in Xia Fengyin's eyes, Huo Siyan scolded him shyly.

"Siyan, you are so beautiful!"

Xia Fengyin exclaimed sincerely.

"Really?"

Hearing Xia Fengyin's praise, Huo Siyan felt a surge of sweetness in her heart. Although the blush on her face hadn't faded, she proudly thrust out her full, alluring breasts, as if wanting Xia Fengyin to admire them closely.

"Hmm, Siyan, I'm curious, who was that person sleeping on you just now?"

Xia Fengyin asked curiously. The delicate feeling of Shu Hua in his hand hadn't completely faded yet, and from that alone, Xia Fengyin was certain that the woman must be an absolute beauty. Sure enough,

as Xia Fengyin expected, Huo Siyan chuckled, "Luckily, Tingxiang didn't wake up just now. If she had found out that you dared to secretly touch her while she was sleeping, she would have broken your hand!" "

Tingxiang, could she be Huo Tingxiang, the daughter of your second uncle Huo Zheng?"

Xia Fengyin exclaimed in surprise. How could all the girls in the Huo family be so beautiful and charming!

"How do you know Tingxiang?"

Huo Siyan asked in surprise when she heard that Xia Fengyin knew Huo Tingxiang.

"Oh! I heard it from Dad! Huo Tingxiang must be very beautiful! You can tell just by your stunning looks!"

"Yes!"

Huo Siyan smiled brightly and continued, "Tingxiang was studying abroad, otherwise, with her looks, I wouldn't be the most beautiful woman in Hong Kong!"

What? Could Huo Tingxiang be even more beautiful than Siyan? Xia Fengyin exclaimed inwardly. He must see Huo Tingxiang tomorrow, and also find out what her hobbies are and what requirements she has for a boyfriend.

Seeing Xia Fengyin remain silent, Huo Siyan immediately understood his thoughts. She knew Xia Fengyin's character very well; he had women like a reinforced company—what else could he be but a lecher! Thinking of this, Huo Siyan felt a pang of sadness. She looked at Xia Fengyin with a resentful expression and said, "Are you really eager to see just how beautiful Tingxiang is, so you can find a way to add another boat to your 'boat'?"

"No, absolutely not! Right now, I only think of you. Who cares about Tingxiang! In my heart, our Siyan will always be the most beautiful woman in Hong Kong!"

Xia Fengyin said, quickly pulling Huo Siyan's soft, boneless, and supple body into his arms. He eagerly picked her up and hurried away.

Huo Siyan didn't resist. She knew what was about to happen. Having read so many online novels, she already had a basic understanding of matters between men and women. Now, facing the man she loved, she didn't even have the slightest thought of resistance, simply letting him place her on the soft Simmons mattress.

Xia Fengyin gently placed Huo Siyan's soft, supple body against his chest, then carefully removed her gossamer-thin nightgown. Huo Siyan's face flushed crimson, her ears burning. She didn't resist, only covering her shyly flushed face with her small hands.

"So beautiful!"

Xia Fengyin thought to himself, admiring the stunning beauty. Although he had known Huo Siyan for some time and often secretly admired her graceful figure, it was always through clothing. Now, with that barrier removed, he was unexpectedly taken aback.

The number one beauty in Hong Kong! That was no exaggeration. There were many beautiful actresses in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, but compared to Huo Siyan, they were worlds apart. If Huo Siyan hadn't entered the entertainment industry, she would undoubtedly be the number one beauty. But tonight, this exquisite young woman would be in Xia Fengyin's arms.

"Siyan, you are truly the immortal masterpiece of the Creator! You are so beautiful!"

Xia Fengyin stared at Huo Siyan's high, arched chest, his hands carefully caressing her soft, rounded arms.

"Really? Do you like it?"

Huo Siyan shyly removed her hands from her face and mustered her courage to ask.

"I like it, I like it!"

Huo Siyan's words were like an aphrodisiac, adding fuel to Xia Fengyin's already burning desire. He couldn't hold back any longer, quickly taking off his pajamas and slowly pressing himself against Huo Siyan's delicate body...

After a long while, the two reached the peak of pleasure with a comfortable moan. Xia Fengyin's essence entered Huo Siyan's body. They remained in the same position for a while, then Xia Fengyin rolled off and pulled the equally sweaty Huo Siyan into his arms.

"Fengyin, you must marry me in the future, you can't let me down!"

Huo Siyan nestled in Xia Fengyin's arms, tightly hugging his arm, and murmured.

"Don't worry!"

Xia Fengyin promised in an extremely solemn tone, "I, Xia Fengyin, will never let you down in this life. After I fulfill my master's wish, I will take you to a beautiful place with clear waters and lush mountains to live in seclusion. We will ignore the deceit and treachery of the world and live a carefree life like immortals!"

"Hmm!"

Hearing Xia Fengyin's words, Huo Siyan felt an infinite longing in her heart, but she immediately asked with doubt, "Your master's wish? Who is your master?"

"Oh!"

Xia Fengyin accidentally let slip, but now that Huo Siyan and he had consummated their marriage, there was no harm in telling her. So he said with a smile, "My master is the famous God of Gamblers, Gao Jin. Have you heard of the God of Gamblers?"

"No!"

Huo Siyan chuckled. "I'm usually at school, so I don't know much about things in society. Oh, by the way, does my dad know you're the God of Gamblers' apprentice? Will he object to us being together because of that?"

Xia Fengyin had already mentioned proposing to Huo Guang, and Huo Siyan was afraid his identity would affect their relationship, so she hurriedly asked. *

Object to us because of my identity? That's a ridiculous joke! Dad even sold you off because you're the God of Gamblers' apprentice!* Xia Fengyin chuckled inwardly and said, "Don't worry, I'm handsome, virtuous, knowledgeable, talented, wealthy, and charming! Dad might jump for joy if he knew we were dating!"

"You're the one who'd jump for joy!"

Huo Siyan retorted playfully. Xia Fengyin's smooth talk was getting better and better, but she wasn't annoyed at all. On the contrary, a bright smile appeared on her delicate face. She thought to herself, wasn't she initially attracted to his glib tongue? Now that things have come to this, as long as his father doesn't object, that's fine. As for his mother, he can persuade her slowly. After all, she's always loved him the most since he was little. If he tells her he likes her, she'll definitely agree in the end!

Xia Fengyin looked at Huo Siyan's smiling face, her allure overflowing, and his heart couldn't help but flutter. The part of him that had just softened slowly became hard again. However, although Xia Fengyin was lecherous, he knew how to cherish the girl he loved. Huo Siyan was a virgin, and after his passionate encounter, her whole body was sore and her limbs were weak. How could Xia Fengyin bear to disregard Huo Siyan's health for his own momentary pleasure? He struggled to suppress his rising lust and changed the subject, asking, "Siyan, why is Huo Tingxiang staying in your room tonight? You have so many rooms, you don't need two people sharing one!"

Huo Siyan smiled charmingly, "Tingxiang and I have been best friends since childhood. Although we were born into wealthy families, we had very few playmates as children. To keep us from feeling lonely, my father and Tingxiang's father arranged for us to live and study together. We studied together during the day and shared a bed at night, so we can be childhood sweethearts—hey, don't look at me like that! I meant Tingxiang and I are childhood sweethearts! Why are you so anxious?"

Huo Siyan suddenly noticed Xia Fengyin looking at her with jealousy and quickly explained to avoid any misunderstanding.

Good heavens, I thought you two were gay! Xia Fengyin finally breathed a sigh of relief. He chuckled, "How could I possibly doubt you? We're husband and wife now, in every sense of the word. Husbands and wives are one, we should love and trust each other!"

As he spoke, Xia Fengyin hugged Huo Siyan's soft, white body even tighter to match his emotions.

Neither of them spoke, quietly listening to each other's heartbeats, feeling the deep love emanating from the other. At that moment, their hearts were only for each other, and the whole world seemed to disappear in that instant.

After a long while, Huo Siyan finally spoke: "Fengyin, can you let go of me first? I can't breathe!"

"Oh!"

Xia Fengyin realized that he was holding her too tightly and hurriedly let go: "I'm sorry! I was just too emotional!"

"Silly girl, what are you apologizing for! I know!"

Huo Siyan chuckled and returned to Xia Fengyin's arms: "Tingxiang just came back from abroad and came here, and said that she still wants to sleep with me tonight like when we were little, so I had no choice but to—"

"Baby, it's okay! But from now on you only belong to me, and you can only sleep with me at night!"

"Okay!"

Huo Siyan nodded obediently, pressing her body even closer to Xia Fengyin.

Chapter 234: Discovered by Mother

"Ah!"

Huo Siyan's skin was as smooth as if it had been washed with milk, and especially her full and round breasts, when pressed against him, made Xia Fengyin groan comfortably. His hands couldn't resist the temptation and wandered all over Huo Siyan's body. Huo Siyan's body was extremely sensitive. Provoked by Xia Fengyin, she grew increasingly hot, her eyes gradually becoming hazy, and her limbs clung tightly to him like an octopus emerging from the sea.

At this moment, Huo Siyan's beautiful eyes were filled with affection, her heart pounding, and she couldn't help but call out, "Fengyin!"

Then, her delicate arms tightly encircled Xia Fengyin's neck, and she pressed her lips to his, kissing him passionately. Huo Siyan's lips were red, full, and elastic, and her kiss was passionate, intense, and eager. She slipped her bright red tongue into Xia Fengyin's mouth, letting him suckle. With Xia Fengyin's touch, waves of electricity quickly surged through Huo Siyan's body, and she began to moan sweetly. Their naked bodies embraced tightly, their burning cheeks pressed together, their intoxicated eyes staring intently, and their trembling red lips locked in a passionate kiss.

After a few kisses, Xia Fengyin began to explore Huo Siyan's soft, smooth skin. He gently licked her slender, smooth neck and the bare skin of her arms with his tongue. Huo Siyan, nestled in Xia Fengyin's arms, tilted her head back, her mouth slightly open, and moaned softly. Her full, round breasts rose and fell with her breath.

Xia Fengyin kissed and licked Huo Siyan's silky skin with lingering affection, focusing on her already erect nipples. Huo Siyan began to pant heavily, her body hot and restless. Xia Fengyin's hands caressed Huo Siyan's smooth, tender bare back. He lowered his head, opened his mouth, and swallowed her proud, full breasts, kissing and swallowing them skillfully and passionately. Huo Siyan felt as if she had been electrocuted. Her fair arms tightly hugged Xia Fengyin's hair, and she kept panting, "Fengyin—Fengyin—I want you—I want you to love me!"

Having tasted the pleasures of love for the first time, Huo Siyan was already unable to resist. She was full of charm, her angelic face slightly turned to the side in shyness, her eyes watery and overflowing with tenderness. Her flowing black hair half-concealed her beautiful face, which was shy and hesitant, making her even more alluring. Her fair, flawless skin was already flushed with a charming blush.

Her body, flushed with an alluring pink from the rising desire, accentuated Huo Siyan's delicate and slender curves, her soft, boneless skin trembling slightly. Her breasts, not only full and rounded but also large, blended seamlessly into her perfect form. The two rosy nipples stood erect, half-open, half-full, seemingly waiting to be plucked by Xia Fengyin. The pink nipples, set against her snow-white, smooth skin, were even more tempting.

Seeing that Huo Siyan's desire had been aroused again, Xia Fengyin no longer cared about anything else. He rolled over and straddled her once more, and the obscene and passionate scene from before was reenacted in the spacious bedroom…

In the morning, as the nth ray of sunlight streamed into the room through the window, Huo Siyan slowly woke from her sleep. Xia Fengyin had tormented her many times the night before, and now her whole body ached, her bones felt like they were falling apart! However, after Xia Fengyin's caresses last night, Huo Siyan became even more beautiful and charming. Her face not only retained the purity of a young girl but also the allure of a newlywed! She nudged Xia Fengyin, who was still sleeping like a log, but he didn't react at all. Looking at Xia Fengyin's peaceful sleep, Huo Siyan's face immediately lit up with a happy smile. Now she was Xia Fengyin's woman, and from now on, she would share joys and sorrows with him! Although there was no marriage agreement or matchmaker's words, Huo Siyan didn't care at all. How could those worldly things compare to the true love between two hearts?

"Oh no!"

Huo Siyan was about to bend down to kiss Xia Fengyin when she suddenly remembered that she had come out after Huo Tingxiang fell asleep last night. She had originally planned to rush back early this morning, but now the sun was shining brightly outside, and it must be very late. Huo Tingxiang might have already discovered her! Thinking of this, Huo Siyan became increasingly anxious, her body growing hotter and hotter. Although what she and Xia Fengyin had done wasn't anything shameful, they weren't married yet. She had secretly given herself to him in the middle of the night without her mother's consent; if her mother found out, she would surely scold her.

"Siyan, what's wrong? Hmm! Why is your face so red?"

Xia Fengyin, who was fast asleep, suddenly felt Huo Siyan's body become burning hot in his arms. He immediately opened his eyes in surprise and asked with concern.

Sensing the concern in Xia Fengyin's words, Huo Siyan's anxious heart calmed down considerably. She leaned back into Xia Fengyin's arms and murmured, "I followed you out last night after Tingxiang fell asleep. I planned to go back this morning, but I overslept, and it's very late now. I'm afraid Tingxiang has already discovered that I didn't sleep in the room last night! If Mother finds out, I'm doomed!"

This was indeed a thorny issue. Hearing this, Xia Fengyin also became secretly anxious. If Madam Huo found out that he had taken her daughter without her permission, she would surely beat him to death! However, Xia Fengyin was naturally unhurried. His mind raced as he thought of a way to deal with Madam Huo, while comforting Huo Siyan, "Honey, don't worry. Maybe Huo Tingxiang is a lazybones, still fast asleep! Besides, even if they find out, with my abilities, I'll have no trouble finding a reason to deal with them."

"That's true!"

Huo Siyan laughed upon hearing Xia Fengyin's words. Hadn't her mother overheard her asking Xia Fengyin to come to her room last night? In the end, Xia Fengyin had managed to fool her with a bunch of nonsense. Huo Siyan was already completely in awe of Xia Fengyin's superb verbal skills!

"Let's get up first!"

Xia Fengyin reluctantly released Huo Siyan's incredibly alluring body, lingeringly giving her shapely buttocks one last stroke before getting out of bed. He still hadn't thought of a good way to deal with her, and a sliver of hope remained that Huo Tingxiang and Madam Huo hadn't gotten up yet.

Hearing Xia Fengyin's words, Huo Siyan obediently got up and considerately picked up his clothes from the floor. With such a wife, what more could a husband ask for! Looking at the virtuous and lovely Huo Siyan, Xia Fengyin secretly rejoiced that he had married such a good wife.

While dressing, Xia Fengyin wasn't still; he would touch Huo Siyan's breasts with his hands or kiss her flawless, delicate face, teasing her until she blushed and gasped softly. If he weren't worried about being discovered by Mrs. Huo, Xia Fengyin would have already embraced Huo Siyan again.

Half an hour later, when they were dressed, Xia Fengyin led Huo Siyan out of the room and saw that the sun was already high in the sky. Xia Fengyin wondered why Mrs. Huo hadn't come to invite him for breakfast!

The two went downstairs to the garden and suddenly saw Mrs. Huo and a stunningly beautiful woman slowly walking towards them from the opposite direction. The girl had long, jet-black hair, styled in the currently popular South Korean curls, which, combined with her snow-white neck, accentuated the delicate smoothness of her skin!

As the two approached, Xia Fengyin couldn't help but be stunned. The girl was simply a rare beauty, an angel descended from heaven! Her two slender eyebrows resembled two willow leaves in early spring, and her pair of large, bright black eyes were like twinkling stars in the night sky. Below her delicate nose, a small, rosy, cherry-like mouth was constantly talking to Mrs. Huo, and the constant laughter clearly showed the dimples on her face to Xia Fengyin. Her thighs were long, her breasts were high and full, and her stomach was flat. Although Huo Siyan was also exceptionally beautiful, she was slightly inferior to this girl.

While Xia Fengyin was still in a daze, Mrs. Huo and the beautiful woman also noticed them.

"Siyan!"

the beautiful woman exclaimed, rushing towards Huo Siyan. Xia Fengyin quickly stepped in front of Huo Siyan, opening his arms to embrace the woman. But the woman was quick-witted, stopping a few meters away from Xia Fengyin.

"Siyan, where have you been? I woke up this morning and found you weren't in your room. I rushed to find your aunt, and we've been looking for you for ages!"

The woman didn't even look at Xia Fengyin, focusing only on talking to Huo Siyan, her face full of concern.

After speaking, the woman's beautiful, innocent eyes blinked as she stared at Huo Siyan. Huo Siyan, feeling guilty, immediately felt her ears burning and her face turning red. She hesitated for a long time, unable to find a suitable excuse, and could only look to Xia Fengyin for help.

Xia Fengyin had already guessed that the beautiful woman was Huo Tingxiang, but he pretended to be confused and asked in surprise, "Whose daughter is this beautiful lady?"

Huo Tingxiang still didn't answer Xia Fengyin's question, but Huo Siyan found a topic. She quickly stepped between the two and introduced them with a smile, "This beautiful lady is my cousin, Huo Tingxiang. Cousin, this is my—my guest, Xia Fengyin!" After

Huo Siyan finished speaking, she secretly glanced at Xia Fengyin, afraid that he would be angry because of her introduction. However, seeing that Xia Fengyin was still smiling and didn't care, she immediately felt relieved.

"Hello! Miss Huo Tingxiang!"

Although Xia Fengyin had been rejected several times, he was like an unkillable cockroach, and he wouldn't give up so easily! He smiled and extended his right hand, preparing to take advantage of the handshake.

To Xia Fengyin's excitement, Huo Tingxiang actually extended her flawless white arm to shake his hand. Closer and closer, Xia Fengyin's heart trembled. Finally, their hands clasped tightly, but instead of feeling any pleasure, Xia Fengyin's face contorted in pain.

"How are you?"

Huo Tingxiang asked with a playful smile, her eyes full of mischief, her mischievousness like that of a playful child.

"Fine, fine!"

Xia Fengyin forced a smile, desperately trying to pull his hand back, but it felt like it was held by an iron grip. No matter how hard he tried, Huo Tingxiang's hand remained firmly in his grasp. Finally, with a mighty effort, he managed to pull his hand away, only to find it had turned bright red.

"Are you alright?"

Seeing Xia Fengyin's red hands, Huo Siyan rushed over and asked with concern, "My cousin was the Hong Kong martial arts champion for three consecutive years. She went abroad to study Western fencing! You think you can take advantage of her? You're out of luck!"

"I never thought of taking advantage of Tingxiang!"

Xia Fengyin argued sincerely, but started calling her Tingxiang repeatedly!

At this moment, Madam Huo also came over. She looked at the three young people fooling around and couldn't help but smile kindly. However, she remembered her purpose for coming. She looked at her daughter and then asked seriously, "Siyan, where did you sleep last night? Why haven't I seen you this morning?"

"I, I, I!"

Huo Siyan stammered for a long time without being able to answer. Just as she was getting anxious, she suddenly heard Xia Fengyin say with a grin, "Auntie, Siyan and I went for a run this morning. Didn't you ask me last night what I was doing in Siyan's room? Now I'll tell you the truth. I went to discuss with her going for a run in the suburbs this morning. We're not like some people who just sleep in all day and don't even know when the people around them are up!"

Xia Fengyin's words were clearly an insult to Huo Tingxiang, implying she loved to sleep in. "Who told you to offend me? Just because you're beautiful doesn't mean you're so great! Just because you're a Hong Kong martial arts champion doesn't mean you can be so great! Humph, you've offended me, I'll make you pay! Your father and brother won't escape either!"

Sure enough, the clever Huo Tingxiang immediately realized Xia Fengyin was referring to her, and her face flushed red. However, she couldn't find a reason to lash out. If Xia Fengyin was telling the truth, then she really hadn't noticed Huo Siyan getting up. Although her martial arts skills were extremely high, her verbal skills were lacking, even inferior to Huo Siyan's.

Of course, Madam Huo also understood the meaning behind Xia Fengyin's words. She suppressed her laughter and pretended to be angry, saying, "Why are you two going to the suburbs for exercise so early? Remember to tell us next time you go out, so we don't worry!"

After saying that, Madam Huo looked at Huo Siyan with great affection and said, "Come on, let's go have breakfast!"

"Okay!"

Xia Fengyin agreed, feeling extremely relieved that he had finally gotten away with it. But when he looked at Huo Tingxiang again, he found that she was also looking at him. Their eyes met, and they both snorted and turned away. Madam Huo and Huo Siyan couldn't help but find it amusing to watch this pair of bickering rivals who started arguing as soon as they met.

Because of the stalemate between Xia Fengyin and Huo Tingxiang, the group didn't talk much during breakfast. After breakfast, Huo Tingxiang said goodbye and went home. She had just returned from abroad yesterday and had come to visit Huo Siyan because she missed her. Now she had to go back to spend some time with her father.

After Huo Tingxiang left, Xia Fengyin went back to his room to practice his gambling skills. He was particularly depressed today. Since he started pursuing women, he had never suffered such a setback! Not only had he been rejected three or four times in a row, but he had also made enemies with a stunningly beautiful woman. If he wanted to pursue her again, he would have to suffer a lot! However, Xia Fengyin had one advantage: he was determined to win over anyone he liked. He was the kind of person who wouldn't give up until he was completely determined.

When Xia Fengyin returned to his room, Madam Huo's expression suddenly turned extremely serious. She stared intently into Huo Siyan's eyes and solemnly asked, "Siyan, have you already slept with Xia Fengyin?"

Although Huo Tingxiang had been fooled by Xia Fengyin's words, and Madam Huo had almost fallen for his trick, she was, after all, a woman of many experience, and she immediately recognized that her daughter had.

"Mom, I!"

Huo Siyan knew her mother already knew about what happened last night, and her face immediately turned anxious. She lowered her head, not daring to look Madam Huo in the eye.

Seeing her daughter like this, Mrs. Huo couldn't bear to scold her anymore. She just sighed and asked, "Are you sure Xia Fengyin truly loves you? You've only known him for a few days!"

Seeing her mother's tone soften slightly, Huo Siyan bravely raised her head and said with absolute certainty, "I'm sure he absolutely loves me! Mom, we truly love each other, please grant us your blessing!"

"Now that things have come to this, what else can I say? It's just that Xia Fengyin already has a girlfriend, and his status is probably not good enough for you!"

Mrs. Huo's words were full of helplessness. Now that the deed was done, there was no point in regretting it.

"Mom, don't you know? Xia Fengyin is the apprentice of the God of Gamblers, Gao Jin. His status and position are definitely good enough for me. As for his girlfriend, Xia Fengyin said his master, the God of Gamblers, has a way to arrange it!"

Although Xia Fengyin had repeatedly told Huo Siyan last night not to easily reveal his identity to others, now that they had reached a crucial moment concerning their happiness, Huo Siyan no longer hid anything and unhesitatingly added chips to Xia Fengyin's scheme.

Chapter 235: Whose Room to Go To

? "What? You said Xia Fengyin is the God of Gamblers' disciple!"

Mrs. Huo's expression was one of disbelief. "Are you sure what he said is true?"

"Yes, Mom, is something wrong?"

Huo Siyan had never seen her mother so surprised before, and hurriedly asked worriedly.

"Hmm! Nothing's wrong!"

Mrs. Huo smiled reassuringly. "If Xia Fengyin really is the God of Gamblers' disciple, then we won't have to be afraid of anyone anymore. By the way, does Dad know Xia Fengyin's true identity?"

"Yes!"

Huo Siyan answered obediently, then seemed to remember something. "Why is it that just because Xia Fengyin is the God of Gamblers' successor, our Xia family has nothing to fear?"

Mrs. Huo wondered why her husband knew Xia Fengyin's true identity but didn't tell her! It must be to avoid involving herself and Si Yan. Could it be that he and Xia Fengyin are already planning something? Mrs. Huo calmed her emotions and smiled, saying, "You don't know, do you? The God of Gamblers, Gao Jin, is one of the two top masters in the Chinese gambling world. He holds an extremely high position in the underworld, especially with his Heavenly God Sect, one of the two largest gangs in China. The other is the Earth Demon Sect, founded by the God of Gamblers' rival, the Gambling Demon. If we get Gao Jin's support, then your father's rivals, Huo Teng and the others, won't dare to act recklessly anymore!"

Mrs. Huo had initially opposed Xia Fengyin's relationship with her daughter because of his unclear identity, but now that she heard he was actually the God of Gamblers' apprentice and the young master of the Heavenly God Sect, she felt relieved. If her daughter ended up with Xia Fengyin, it wouldn't be a bad thing. However, Xia Fengyin already had a girlfriend; he couldn't possibly have polygamy! She hoped that the God of Gamblers, Gao Jin, really had a way to arrange things for her daughter!

Seeing her mother smile, Huo Siyan knew her mother would no longer object to her relationship with Xia Fengyin, and her mood improved greatly. She didn't care about Xia Fengyin's power or influence; all she cared about was her parents and Xia Fengyin's safety and happiness.

"Siyan, you must never mention Xia Fengyin's identity as the God of Gamblers' apprentice to anyone, not even your best friend Tingxiang. This concerns the safety of our Huo family and even the fate of our family of three!"

Madam Huo had been with the Huo family for nearly thirty years and was well aware of the world's treachery. Although Huo Tingxiang was very close to the family, no one could guarantee she wouldn't side with her father, Huo Teng, in a critical moment. Madam Huo knew her daughter's personality; although somewhat mischievous, she was innocent and would tell everyone her thoughts, so she had to repeatedly remind her.

"I know, Mom! I'm going to find Fengyin!"

Huo Siyan nodded obediently to Madam Huo, and then thought about going to play with Xia Fengyin. She and Xia Fengyin were like newlyweds, inseparable and unwilling to be apart for even a moment.

"Go ahead!"

Mrs. Huo had already noticed that her daughter was a little absent-minded. Having been through similar experiences herself, she knew that once a girl had a crush, she would think about him constantly, unable to eat or sleep, overjoyed when she saw him, and like a lost soul when he wasn't.

Huo Siyan skipped and hopped from the living room towards Xia Fengyin's room. She was in a very good mood; she had finally obtained her mother's permission, and from now on, she could be with Xia Fengyin openly and legitimately. Watching Huo Siyan's retreating figure, Mrs. Huo couldn't help but shake her head and chuckle. "Daughters really are hard to keep at home once they grow up!" she thought. But as long as her daughter was happy, she, as a mother, had no other desires.

When Huo Siyan arrived at Xia Fengyin's room, she found the door open. Xia Fengyin was sitting alone at the table, fiddling with a brand-new deck of cards. Seeing Huo Siyan enter, he immediately put down his cards, walked over, and asked with a grin, "My sweetheart! What did Mommy say to you just now? Did she say anything bad about me behind my back?"

"My mommy would never say anything bad about someone behind their back!"

Huo Siyan pouted. "Hmm, why aren't you practicing your gambling skills? Is it because I disturbed you?"

Huo Siyan finished speaking and made a move to leave the room. In her mind, as the apprentice of the God of Gamblers, practicing gambling skills should be Xia Fengyin's top priority. However, Huo Siyan was wrong. Xia Fengyin had no interest in practicing gambling skills! He only studied them occasionally when he was extremely bored. Now, with a beautiful woman beside him, how could he possibly focus on playing cards?

Sure enough, Xia Fengyin quickly blocked Huo Siyan's retreat, pulling her soft, supple, and incredibly elastic body into his arms. He then used both hands simultaneously to caress Huo Siyan's breasts and buttocks, making her feel hot all over and her eyes filled with lust.

"No! It's daytime!"

Huo Siyan saw Xia Fengyin put his hand inside her clothes and pretend to unbutton them, so she quickly grabbed his mischievous hand and pleaded to stop him.

"No!"

Xia Fengyin chuckled, taking his hand out and greedily sniffing it. Suddenly, he said seriously, "I just wanted to see how my darling's figure is, but it felt so small when I touched it just now! Was what I felt last night just my imagination?"

"It's not small at all!"

Huo Siyan was most proud of her figure. Not only were her legs beautiful, but her abdomen was flat without any excess fat, and her breasts were extremely round. Now, seeing that the man she loved was saying that her figure wasn't good, she immediately became anxious. She didn't even see the sly look in Xia Fengyin's eyes and blurted out, "It's not small at all. If you don't believe me, touch it again!"

"That's not a good idea. It's broad daylight!"

Xia Fengyin pretended to be serious and declined, but his hand was faster than anything else. He slipped his hand inside Huo Siyan's collar again and squeezed her full, soft breasts in his hand. "So it was just my imagination. Yours is really big!"

Xia Fengyin said, a lewd smile on his face.

Huo Siyan had intended to proudly thrust her breasts forward even more, but she suddenly noticed Xia Fengyin's lewd expression and immediately realized he was playing a trick on her. Her face flushed crimson with anger. She grabbed Xia Fengyin's hand and pulled it from her collar, yelling, "You big bad guy, go to hell!"

As she spoke, Huo Siyan kicked Xia Fengyin's shin.

If Huo Tingxiang had kicked him, Xia Fengyin's shin would probably be broken, but Huo Siyan was different. She was now Xia Fengyin's woman, deeply in love with him, and he had the right to do so. Therefore, her kick was barely used.

"Ah!"

Although Huo Siyan's kick wasn't heavy at all, Xia Fengyin cried out exaggeratedly and pretended to fall forward. Huo Siyan immediately caught him, asking anxiously, "Are you alright? Are you hurt?"

"Yes, I was just hit by your Foshan Shadowless Kick. Luckily, I practice Iron Shirt, otherwise this leg would have been crippled long ago!"

Xia Fengyin said, feigning weakness as he leaned against Huo Siyan, greedily inhaling the faint fragrance emanating from her body. "If only it could last forever!" Xia Fengyin thought to himself happily.

Seeing Xia Fengyin's seemingly paralyzed appearance, Huo Siyan was terrified, but she was also filled with doubt. She whispered, "Isn't that Iron Shirt for protecting the upper body? How come you—"

"Oh! That's what people on TV use. I invented this Iron Shirt myself, specifically for protection. As for the lower body! That's very important! Hehe!"

Xia Fengyin stood up from Huo Siyan, grinning, and said, "Siyan, if you kiss me now, maybe my leg injury will heal immediately!"

"Really?"

Huo Siyan, surprisingly, obediently leaned in to kiss Xia Fengyin's lips.

"Young Master Xia! The Master wants you to go to his room right now!"

A servant's voice rang out inappropriately from outside. Huo Siyan quickly withdrew her lips.

Young Master Xia, why does that address sound so awkward! Xia Fengyin didn't react immediately, but quickly realized he was being addressed. Damn it! Xia Fengyin cursed inwardly, angrily touching his lips. "Damn it, why does someone always have to bother me when I'm having a good time with women?" he thought. "It seems I must build my future home in a very secluded place, preferably surrounded by high walls. Then, no matter day or night, no one will disturb me when I'm being intimate with my wife!

" "Coming!"

Xia Fengyin decided, kissing Huo Siyan's cheek before whispering playfully in her ear, "Are you coming to my room tonight, or should I come to you?"

"Hmph! I don't want to do 'that' with you again!"

Huo Siyan said shyly, pushing Xia Fengyin towards the door. Her father must have something important to discuss with him, and she couldn't afford to delay. Just as Xia Fengyin reached the door to leave, Huo Siyan suddenly tiptoed and whispered shyly in his ear, "Come to me tonight!"

Then she ran off like a shot.

"Yes!"

Xia Fengyin jumped up happily behind him, while the maid who had come to fetch him was bewildered. Wasn't her young mistress always supposed to dislike men? Why was she being so affectionate with Xia Fengyin, whom she had only known for a few days? However, she understood the basic rule of being a servant: don't ask what you don't understand.

The maid led Xia Fengyin to Huo Guang's room and then left. Xia Fengyin didn't even bother to knock and simply pushed the door open and went in. Inside, Huo Guang was talking quietly with Xie Canghai. Upon seeing Xia Fengyin enter, Huo Guang's face lit up with joy, while Xie Canghai looked somewhat embarrassed. After all, his previous act of faking an assassination attempt on Xia Fengyin to incite hatred towards Huo Teng wasn't exactly honorable. However, Xie Canghai had served Huo Guang for over ten years, and naturally, his shrewdness and cunning were extremely profound. He had only lost his composure for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure. He walked up to Xia Fengyin and apologized, "Young Master Xia, it was my fault last time. Entering your room in the middle of the night..." "You tried to assassinate me in my room, giving me quite a scare!" Damn it, a scare!

Someone came into my room in the middle of the night, brandishing a knife and trying to attack me. If I hadn't been quick-witted and had all my ears, I might be injured now. But Xia Fengyin wouldn't show his anger. He stepped forward, smiled, and said, "Uncle Xie, there's no need to be so polite. Just call me Fengyin; calling me Young Master Xia sounds awkward. And did you try to assassinate me in my room that night? I don't remember." He

immediately laughed, his expression incredibly sincere and frank, as if he had truly forgotten what happened that night.

"Haha! Brother Xie, since Fengyin has forgiven you, you don't need to feel guilty about that night anymore!"

Huo Guang had initially worried that Xie Canghai and Xia Fengyin would feel awkward because of what happened that night, but seeing that Xia Fengyin didn't seem to care at all, he immediately felt relieved and his goodwill towards Xia Fengyin increased. He waved his hand, gesturing for the two to sit down and discuss things.

Chapter 236: Sisters in Suffering

"I wonder what brings Uncle here so urgently?"

Xia Fengyin unceremoniously pulled up a stool and sat down beside Huo Guang's bed, asking knowingly, while Xie Canghai sat to Xia Fengyin's right.

"It's like this! Recently, Huo Guang and his gang have become increasingly outrageous. Yesterday, while I was negotiating a business deal with a foreign businessman, he openly opposed my opinion as the clan leader, ultimately ruining the deal and causing me to lose face in front of the foreign guests. Therefore, I've decided to take immediate action to remove Huo Teng and his associates from all power within the Huo family!"

Huo Guang's face was filled with anger as he spoke. Even a seasoned veteran of the martial world, who was usually unflappable, was angered by this, demonstrating just how excessive Huo Teng and his gang had become. After finishing, Huo Guang looked at Xia Fengyin with hopeful eyes. Clearly, his actions required Xia Fengyin's support; the Heavenly God Sect was his greatest asset!

Xia Fengyin was about to speak when Xie Canghai interrupted, saying solemnly, "Master, our strength is currently far inferior to Huo Teng's group. Moreover, Huo Zheng is watching from the sidelines. If he intervenes when we are both severely weakened, things will become extremely complicated!"

"I know that too!"

Huo Guang looked troubled, then looked at Xia Fengyin and said, "I think the method Xia Fengyin mentioned last time is feasible! So I've decided to do as he said. First, we'll seize control of the Huo family's economic lifeline, then incite Huo Teng and Huo Zheng to fight each other by determining the successor to the clan head. Then we can sit back and watch them fight, reaping the benefits. Once they've fought enough, we can easily deal with them! Doing so wouldn't violate my father's dying wish!"

"Yes, I think that's a good idea too!"

Xie Canghai nodded in agreement. Although Xie Canghai was a servant of the Huo family, he held a very high position in Huo Guang's heart, and the two were even on par with brothers. After speaking, Xie Canghai also looked at Xia Fengyin.

Upon hearing Huo Guang and Xie Canghai's words, Xia Fengyin immediately shook his head and denied it, saying, "No, now is not the time to act!"

"Why?"

Huo Guang and Xie Canghai asked in unison upon hearing Xia Fengyin's words.

Seeing these two seasoned veterans of the martial world react with such surprise in front of him, Xia Fengyin felt a great sense of accomplishment. He chuckled and said, "Because Uncle only recently had a conflict with Huo Teng. If we act immediately, it will inevitably arouse his suspicion, so we must wait a few days!"

"Yes, yes!"

Huo Guang nodded approvingly, then asked, "So what should we prepare now? How about I invite Huo Teng and Huo Zheng over for dinner tonight to show that I don't hold a grudge?"

"No!"

Xia Fengyin decisively rejected Huo Guang's suggestion, then pondered for a moment before saying, "If we invite Huo Teng and the others over tonight, they'll definitely think we're setting up a trap, and who knows what misunderstandings will arise! What we need to do now is spread the word that the Huo family assembly will be held in three days, at which time the list of successors to the Huo family patriarch will be announced. That way, Huo Teng and the others will definitely think you're going to designate Si Yan as the successor, and at the family assembly, they'll be prepared to resolve things by force. Then, you can announce that the successor to the patriarch will be chosen from Huo Fengtian and Huo Jingtao." Their plans will be completely disrupted, and their thoughts will be affected! Finally, add that Huo Fengtian and Huo Jingtao will not appoint Si Yan as their successor until they make a serious mistake. This will lower Huo Teng and the others' guard against us. Then, with just a little subtle instigation, they will fight for the position of clan leader! Hehe!"

Xia Fengyin finished his analysis, his usual sly smile returning to his face. Huo Guang and Xie Canghai were both impressed and a little afraid. Fortunately, Xia Fengyin was on their side; if he were an enemy, with the support of the Heavenly God Sect, their side would undoubtedly be annihilated.

"Do you agree with my assessment?"

Xia Fengyin asked immediately when Huo Guang and Xie Canghai remained silent. He was eager to be intimate with Huo Si Yan and didn't want to waste his precious time chatting with these two old men.

"What you said makes a lot of sense, we agree!"

Huo Guang smiled slightly. If Xia Fengyin really became his son-in-law in the future, then the Huo family would stand firm in Hong Kong, and might even suppress the other three of the four major families, thus becoming the leading force in Hong Kong's economic world. However, he never expected that his only precious daughter had already consummated her marriage with Xia Fengyin.

"I agree too!"

Xie Canghai nodded approvingly, and then said, "Then I'll arrange for someone to spread the news now, and then we can just wait and see the show!"

"Okay!"

Huo Guang nodded in agreement, his eyes filled with confident light. Damn it, after being suppressed by Huo Teng for so long, he finally had a chance to wash away all the humiliation.

After Xie Canghai left, Xia Fengyin was about to get up and leave when Huo Guang hurriedly stopped him, saying, "Wait a moment, I have something to discuss with you!"

"Oh!"

Xia Fengyin replied with annoyance, retracting his right leg that had already stepped out of the door, and said with a grin, "What is it? Let me tell you, Siyan is mine now, you won't kick me to the curb, will you?"

"I, Huo Guang, am definitely not that kind of person!"

Huo Guang replied with a smile, but inwardly he was cursing, "You little brat, how can you think everyone is as treacherous as you?" But although he was annoyed, he still smiled sincerely on his face: "Please sit down first. Last night I heard from Siyan that you two saw Huo Fengtian colluding with the people from the Earth Demon Sect in Kowloon. Is that true?"

Your information network is quite impressive! Even lying down every day, someone will report to you. Xia Fengyin returned to his seat, grinning, and said, "Yes, we did see Huo Fengtian with people from the Earth Demon Sect last night. They were discussing how to seize the Huo family's assets, and the Earth Demon Sect has already agreed to fully support Huo Teng and his son on the condition that they take one-tenth of your Huo family's assets, which seems to be 40 billion! Is it really that much?"

As Xia Fengyin spoke, a longing look appeared in his eyes. If only I had that much money.

"Beasts! They actually colluded with the Gambling Demons!"

Huo Guang's smile vanished, replaced by extreme anger. He pondered for a moment and said, "Our Huo family certainly has that much money, but if Huo Teng and his group get help from the Earth Demon Sect, shouldn't we change our plans?"

"You don't need to worry about that!"

Xia Fengyin chuckled, taking out his phone from his pocket and saying smugly, "Last night, while I was eavesdropping—no, monitoring—the bad guys and their chivalrous acts, I recorded their conversation. So, no matter what the Earth Demon Sect does in this matter, we can pin it all on Huo Teng and his son. At that point, we won't even need to lift a finger; the government will step in and smooth things over for us! Hehe!" Upon hearing this

, the gloom on Huo Guang's face caused by the Earth Demon Sect's involvement instantly disappeared. He sincerely gave a thumbs up and praised, "Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant!"

"So-so, third in the world!"

Xia Fengyin was unusually modest, but his face was full of pride. What Huo Teng, what Earth Demon Sect, you're unlucky to run into me, Xia Fengyin. I'll send you all to the Royal Hotel, hehe!

After leaving Huo Guang's room, Xia Fengyin immediately went to find Huo Siyan, only to be told by Madam Huo that Siyan had gone out to visit a friend. Xia Fengyin was left alone in the garden, idly playing cards, thinking to himself, "That Siyan, really! Why didn't she tell me she was going out? No, I'll punish that girl properly when she gets back tonight, hehe!" Thinking of last night's experience, Xia Fengyin couldn't help but smile.

Was Huo Siyan really visiting a friend? No, that was just an excuse. Her real purpose was to find Xia Fengyin's girlfriend, Qin Ruyan. The people she had sent out had reported back that a girl who looked very much like Qin Ruyan had been found in a restaurant in Kowloon, Hong Kong. At the time, Xia Fengyin was discussing matters in Huo Guang's room, so Huo Siyan had rushed off to Kowloon alone.

While Xia Fengyin was playing cards in the garden, his phone suddenly rang. He hurriedly took it out and saw that it was Huo Siyan calling.

"Hey! Xia Fengyin? I have some great news for you!"

Xia Fengyin had just answered the phone when Huo Siyan's excited voice came through.

"You silly girl, always jumping around like that! Unlike me, Xia Fengyin, I'm calm and collected. Hey, Siyan! What did you just say?! You found—found Yan Yan!"

Xia Fengyin was about to scold Huo Siyan when he suddenly heard her mention Qin Ruyan's whereabouts, and he jumped up excitedly. What do you mean, "not jumping for joy"?! Xia Fengyin was already incredibly excited; he kept asking about Qin Ruyan's whereabouts on the phone.

Hearing Xia Fengyin's excited words, Huo Siyan found it amusing. She chuckled and playfully said, "I'm currently in a restaurant in Kowloon. There's a waitress here who looks remarkably like the Qin Ruyan you described. Do you want to come and see for yourself? Hehe!"

"Yes, yes!"

Xia Fengyin nodded vigorously. His purpose in coming to Hong Kong was to find Qin Ruyan, but he had been delayed because of the Huo family's affairs. Now, hearing that Qin Ruyan's whereabouts were known, Xia Fengyin wished he could grow wings and fly to her immediately. After confirming the restaurant's exact location, Xia Fengyin hailed a taxi and sped towards Kowloon.

Sitting in the car, Xia Fengyin kept urging the taxi driver on while glancing at the clock on his phone. *Yanyan, I'm almost there! Why are you working as a waitress in a restaurant? You must have suffered a lot!* Xia Fengyin kept thinking about what he should say when he met Qin Ruyan.

Finally, they arrived in Kowloon. The ten-minute drive felt like an eternity to Xia Fengyin. As soon as the taxi stopped, he tossed down a hundred yuan and immediately ran towards the restaurant Huo Siyan had mentioned.

When Xia Fengyin arrived at the restaurant, he was immediately taken aback. The exterior decorations were incredibly familiar, practically identical to Yan Ruyu's restaurant. Could it be such a coincidence? Xia Fengyin pushed open the restaurant door with a face full of doubt. Everything was so familiar; the interior layout and decoration were almost identical to Yan Ruyu's restaurant. Suddenly, Xia Fengyin saw the beautiful, mature woman at the counter taking money. Wasn't that Yan Ruyu? How could the restaurant name be the same, even the owner?!

Xia Fengyin looked around the restaurant but didn't see Huo Siyan or Qin Ruyan. Curious, Xia Fengyin went to the counter and called out, "Sister Ruyu, is that you?"

The mature woman, who had been calculating accounts, looked up at Xia Fengyin's voice. She was initially surprised, then shook her head and smiled, saying, "My name is Yan Rubi. Yan Ruyu is my twin sister. Do you know her?"

Your twin sister! Xia Fengyin immediately understood what was going on! He smiled and said, "I know her! I used to go to Sister Ruyu's restaurant when I was in Moonlight City! The decorations of your two restaurants are almost identical!"

Yan Rubing smiled and said, "My sister and I originally planned to start a business together, and we finally chose the restaurant industry. In order to build a brand, my sister and I each opened a restaurant in Moonlight City and Hong Kong, with the same name, hoping that more people would remember the name. Unfortunately, although we have worked very hard, our restaurants have not developed much, let alone become a national chain!"

When Yan Rubing finished speaking, her face was full of gloom, obviously discouraged by the lack of reward for her efforts.

That's true, Xia Fengyin thought to himself. For the Yan Ruyu sisters, who have no power or support, it is indeed a very difficult thing to make extraordinary achievements in an industry.

Chapter 237: Take Me!

Seeing Xia Fengyin lost in thought, Yan Rubing assumed he was mocking her and her sister's unrealistic ideals. She sighed and said, "Actually, we've considered how difficult it would be, but we don't want to give up halfway. By the way, your girlfriend Qin Ruyan is working at my restaurant!"

Then, Su Yu flashed her charming smile again: "You two had a fight! How come she came to Hong Kong alone? Luckily, she went to my sister's restaurant before leaving Moonlight City. My sister found out and called me, asking me to take good care of her. So, as soon as she arrived in Hong Kong, I brought her to my restaurant. Qin Ruyan is a good girl; you mustn't let her down!"

It turned out that Yan Yan had been cared for by the Yan sisters. Xia Fengyin was surprised, but even more moved. A thought suddenly formed in his mind, and he resolved to repay the Yan sisters.

Xia Fengyin made up his mind and smiled at Yan Rubing, saying, "Thank you both for taking care of Yan Yan. It was my fault that Yan Yan ran away last time. Where is she now?"

Xia Fengyin was puzzled. Si Yan had clearly said she was waiting for him at this restaurant, but when he arrived, he saw neither her nor Qin Ruyan.

"Yan Yan was just here! Where did she go?"

Yan Rubing said, looking around the restaurant in surprise. Apart from a few customers and two waiters, Qin Ruyan was nowhere to be seen.

Just as Xia Fengyin was getting anxious, his phone suddenly rang: "Hello, is this Fengyin? Come quickly to the park next to the restaurant, your girlfriend is here..."

"Yan Yan!"

Before Huo Si Yan could finish speaking, Xia Fengyin shouted and ran out of the restaurant. The few customers inside looked on curiously. Yan Rubing quickly smiled apologetically, but her goodwill towards Xia Fengyin increased. From his excited expression, it was clear that Xia Fengyin truly loved Qin Ruyan.

"Yan Yan, Yan Yan! Where are you?"

Xia Fengyin called out excitedly as he ran quickly towards the nearby park. The park was crowded with couples everywhere, some sitting on the grass whispering sweet nothings, others with the woman sitting on the man's lap, their postures and actions extremely intimate. Normally, Xia Fengyin would have stopped to admire them, but at this moment, his mind was only on Qin Ruyan. He searched through pavilion after pavilion, ran along tree-lined paths after path, his forehead covered in beads of sweat, his clothes completely soaked, but Xia Fengyin didn't bother to wipe it away.

Seeing Xia Fengyin's anxious search, a girl standing outside a relatively secluded pavilion said to another girl beside her, "Yan Yan, you should go down and see him. Although he's a hateful person, his feelings for you are genuine. Look how anxious he is!" The speaker

was Huo Siyan, who was standing next to Qin Ruyan. Her words carried a hint of bitterness. From Xia Fengyin's anxious expression while searching for Qin Ruyan, it was clear that Qin Ruyan held an irreplaceable place in his heart.

"I! Siyan, but what he did really made me feel very embarrassed. How am I supposed to face my cousin and aunt after this? And if we do meet, how am I supposed to resolve the awkwardness?"

Seeing Xia Fengyin's sweaty and anxious appearance, Qin Ruyan felt a pang of heartache. Although her absence these past few days had given her some clarity, she still couldn't face the twisted relationship between her aunt and her boyfriend. "

That Xia Fengyin, he's truly hateful!" Huo Siyan cursed inwardly, but in front of Qin Ruyan, she could only offer words of advice. She had come today to help Xia Fengyin persuade Qin Ruyan to return home.

“Feng Yin did go too far in this matter, but we women can’t easily change our minds when we fall in love with a man. Although there are many men in this world, it’s not easy to find a man who truly loves you and whom you also like. Since Feng Yin has done it, I think he must have a good way to resolve this. He is now involved in the feuds and disputes in the world of gambling and his life is in danger at any time. At this time, as his woman, the only thing we can do is care for him and support him. Before, I always thought of myself as a rich young lady, a princess who was cherished by everyone. I scoffed at and disdained men’s pursuit. But when I met Feng Yin, I put all my feelings into him, and my emotions even changed with his mood!”

Based on her understanding of Xia Feng Yin, Qin Ruyan already knew that the beautiful and noble girl in front of her could not escape his clutches. Faced with her boyfriend’s philandering, Qin Ruyan could only sigh in her heart.

"Yan Yan, Si Yan, where are you?"

Xia Fengyin's heart-wrenching cries rang out again in the park. Many park visitors curiously observed Xia Fengyin. Had this guy been dumped by his girlfriend? But that didn't seem right; he had called out two girls' names. Could they be his wife and daughter? The surrounding tourists speculated.

"Fengyin, we're here!"

Qin Ruyan couldn't bear to see Xia Fengyin so anxious any longer and called out to him.

Hearing the call, Xia Fengyin turned around excitedly. In that instant, the air seemed to freeze, and time seemed to stand still. Xia Fengyin saw two stunningly beautiful women appear before him in the blink of an eye.

"Yan Yan, Yan Yan!"

Xia Fengyin snapped out of his mental daze, gazing at Qin Ruyan with deep affection, as if trying to see everything about her. "Yan Yan!"

After a long while, Xia Fengyin finally couldn't resist and reached out to embrace Qin Ruyan's delicate body, like holding a lost treasure regained, holding her tightly, unwilling to let go for even a moment.

"Fengyin, actually—I missed you too. Will you blame me for leaving without saying goodbye last time?"

Qin Ruyan buried her head in Xia Fengyin's familiar and warm chest, her face filled with excitement and happiness. Tears streamed down her face like pearls, falling onto Xia Fengyin's clothes, quickly soaking a large patch of them. At this moment, it seemed that all ethics, morality, and worldly prejudices ceased to exist; only two hearts tightly bound together, loving each other.

"No, no, how could I blame you! It's all my fault, Yan Yan, don't worry, as long as I, Xia Fengyin, am alive, my love for you will not diminish in the slightest!"

Xia Fengyin said, gently wiping away the tears on Qin Ruyan's face.

Qin Ruyan smiled happily, looked up into Xia Fengyin's eyes, and said with unwavering determination, "I never want to be separated from you again. Even if you try to drive me away, I won't leave. I'm sticking with you for life. Will you take me?"

"Take you?"

Xia Fengyin felt his blood rush to his head, his heart pounding with excitement. He pulled Qin Ruyan into his arms again, murmuring, "Yanyan, are you saying this because you're afraid we'll separate again? Don't worry, I promise you, we'll never be separated again in this life. Even if the sea dries up and the rocks crumble, nothing can break us apart!"

Xia Fengyin's promise filled Qin Ruyan's heart with sweetness. She hugged him tightly, her breasts pressed against his chest. "That's not why I'm saying this. I want to be your woman, like other girls. Will you take me tonight?"

"Yes, since you say so, then this gentleman will respectfully accept your offer!" Xia

Fengyin suddenly chuckled, revealing his lecherous nature. After this lesson, Xia Fengyin had long decided that he must give Qin Ruyan a proper status, allowing her to be his woman in peace. He would take care of her for the rest of his life; it was a responsibility, and more importantly, a wish.

As Qin Ruyan and Xia Fengyin embraced tightly, Huo Siyan, standing behind them, felt no jealousy or resentment. On the contrary, she was happy for Xia Fengyin and Qin Ruyan's reunion. She secretly thought to herself, "I must get along well with this Sister Yan in the future! She's not only Xia Fengyin's first girlfriend, but also the most important person in his heart!"

"Siyan, come over here too!"

Just as Huo Siyan was deep in thought, Qin Ruyan's voice suddenly rang in her ears. Qin Ruyan beckoned to her, gesturing for her to come over. "

Me? Why are you calling me over?" Huo Siyan was filled with doubt, and walked shyly to Qin Ruyan's side. Qin Ruyan smiled slightly, took Huo Siyan's small hand, and placed it in Xia Fengyin's palm.

Xia Fengyin was shocked. Was Qin Ruyan going to leave him again because he had another woman? Just as he was about to speak up to dissuade her, Qin Ruyan chuckled and said, "Don't think I'm so petty. Don't worry, I said I'd never leave you again!"

After saying that, Qin Ruyan turned to Huo Siyan and said, "Siyan, from now on we're good sisters living under the same roof and eating from the same pot! From now on we'll work together to manage Xia Fengyin!"

"Yes! Okay—okay!" Huo

Siyan was taken aback at first, but then shyly lowered her head and agreed.

Not only would they live under the same roof, but they'd also sleep in the same bed! Hehe! Xia Fengyin was overjoyed that Qin Ruyan was willing to accept Huo Siyan. She held Huo Siyan's small hand in her left hand and hugged Qin Ruyan's soft body with her right, her face full of smugness. She chuckled, "Yes, yes! You all have to work together to manage me. You see, I have terrible self-control. If I'm not managed by you wives every day, I get restless!"

"You're so shameless!" "

Qin Ruyan and Huo Siyan said in unison, then exchanged a glance and giggled.

Yes, my skin is thick, almost like a rhinoceros hide!" Xia Fengyin stared at the two laughing women, somewhat stunned. Qin Ruyan's face still bore traces of tears, as delicate and charming as a pear blossom after the rain, while Huo Siyan's face was slightly flushed, like a shy rose slowly blooming. These two beauties are my wives! Xia Fengyin secretly swallowed, his eyes gleaming with lust. Tonight, he definitely had to have one, hehe!

"Let's go back to Sister Rubi's restaurant first! I haven't told her yet when I came out! Oh, by the way, I'm so grateful for Sister Ruyu and Sister Rubi's care this time. Could you help them fulfill their long-cherished wish?" Qin

Ruyan, holding Huo Siyan's hand, looked at Xia Fengyin expectantly. Gratitude is a virtue, and it was Qin Ruyan's consistent style. She also believed that Xia Fengyin, as the apprentice of the God of Gamblers, had the ability to help.

"Well!"

Xia Fengyin, though already having a plan, feigned difficulty. "Alas, your husband is nobody, with no standing in the underworld or power in officialdom. I'm afraid it's difficult for me! However, if each of you kisses me once—no, twice—I might consider helping!" Xia Fengyin finished

speaking and arrogantly pointed to his old face. (Chapter 238: Business Plan,
March 5th ) "Hmm!"

This time, Qin Ruyan not only didn't refuse Xia Fengyin, but instead obediently kissed him twice. Seeing Qin Ruyan set an example, Huo Siyan, though shy, quickly tiptoed and pecked Xia Fengyin's other cheek twice.

Xia Fengyin was thrilled! Being kissed by two beauties at the same time was incredibly enjoyable. Seeing his scheme succeed, he smiled and said, "Actually, I've already thought of a way to help Sister Yu and the other two! Hehe! Hey, don't look at me like that! Oh my god! Don't hit me!"

Qin Ruyan and Huo Siyan, realizing they'd been tricked by Xia Fengyin again, pretended to be angry and swung their little fists at him. Seeing this, Xia Fengyin quickly ran away laughing, and thus, a wonderful scene of beauties fighting wild beasts unfolded in the park.

When the park visitors saw a boy holding hands with two stunningly beautiful women, their mouths were already agape in astonishment. When they saw the two beauties simultaneously kissing one boy, they were immediately filled with righteous indignation. Was there no justice in this world? There were already far more men than women, and beautiful women were even rarer. These two were the cream of the crop. This guy had one, fine, but he dared to defile both of them! This was simply intolerable!

Among the visitors were jealous, envious, angry, and of course, admiring: Visitor A: Did you see that? (Surprised) Visitor B: Yes! (Equally surprised) Visitor A: Is it real? Or am I seeing things? (Incredulous) Visitor B: It's real, more real than gold! They've already walked out of the park hand in hand. (Envious) Visitor A: What does that guy have that ability? He's just a little bit handsome, right? He's two-timing, and managing the relationships so well! Ah, you tell me, someone like me, Lin, handsome, dashing, well-read, and talented, when will I ever win the favor of two such beautiful fairies! (Frustrated!

Tourist B: Soon, very soon! (Sighs) Tourist A: Really? When? (Excited) Tourist B: In tonight's dream! (Laughs) Tourist A: You! (Angry and helpless) Xia Fengyin and the other two entered Yan Rubing's restaurant hand in hand. The restaurant was completely empty; business was exceptionally slow. Yan Rubing sat alone at the counter, staring blankly at the endless stream of cars outside the window. Seeing Xia Fengyin and the other two enter, Yan Rubing immediately smiled: "What, you two have made up?"

Seeing Xia Fengyin holding Qin Ruyan's hand, Yan Rubing immediately understood that they had reconciled. However, when she saw that Xia Fengyin was also holding Huo Siyan's hand, she was immediately surprised: "You two?"

"Oh! It's nothing. Yanyan is my future wife, and Siyan is my fiancée!"

Xia Fengyin didn't seem to realize that polygamy was illegal in society. He chuckled and said, "Yanyan and Siyan are the two people I love most in this life. The three of us are bound together in life and death, never to be separated!"

"Oh!"

Yan Rubi responded, immediately understanding what was going on. She was an open-minded person, not particularly concerned with worldly conventions. She chuckled and said, "Then I wish you both a long and happy marriage!"

"Sister Rubi!"

Hearing Yan Rubi's words, Qin Ruyan and Huo Siyan's faces flushed, their ears turning bright red. They lowered their heads shyly, their hearts filled with sweetness and happiness.

"Thank you, Sister Rubi. This time, thanks to Sister Ruyu and Sister Rubi's help, I've decided to help you turn your restaurant into a nationally renowned restaurant chain as a way of repaying you!"

"What? You want to help us turn our restaurant into a nationwide chain? That's easier said than done!"

Yan Rubing clearly didn't believe Xia Fengyin's words. After all, she didn't know the hidden strength behind Xia Fengyin. She smiled gratefully and said, "We're helping Yan Yan because we like her, not because we want your repayment! Come on, let's find a place to celebrate your reunion, you two, no, you three!"

As she spoke, Yan Rubing quickly instructed the kitchen staff to prepare food and personally brought out several bottles of fine French wine.

Xia Fengyin never knew how to be polite. As soon as Yan Rubing invited him, he quickly ran over and found a good table by the window: "This is nice, the air is fresh, and you can see the scenery outside!"

The three women immediately giggled when they saw him like that.

"Sister Rubing, why don't you discuss it with Xia Fengyin first? He really has a way to help you turn your restaurant into a large-scale nationwide chain!"

Others might not know Xia Fengyin's strength, but Qin Ruyan knew it very well. She chuckled and told Yan Rubing her idea.

"Really?"

Yan Rubing was still somewhat skeptical. She quickly walked to Xia Fengyin's side and asked, "What are you planning to do? Our restaurants are already struggling to survive in Guangzhou and Hong Kong, let alone a nationwide franchise! We have neither funds nor connections!"

"You don't need to worry about that!"

Xia Fengyin confidently patted his chest and said, "I'll figure out the funding and connections. Consider it my investment in the restaurant, while you and Sister Ruyu will be in charge of management. After the company goes public, we'll split the profits 50/50!"

This kid's boasting is too much! Putting aside the connections, just making the restaurant a nationwide franchise would cost at least a hundred million. But Yan Rubing only muttered this to herself. She smiled and said, "If that's really the case, we don't need to split the profits." "You give us some wages every month, consider it as my sister and I working for you!"

Hearing Yan Ruyu's words, Xia Fengyin was immediately annoyed. Why don't you all trust me? Don't I look like the kind of person who's rich and powerful? Xia Fengyin touched his faded jeans and said dejectedly, "Sister Ruyu, now I won't hide it from you anymore! I'm actually the disciple of the God of Gamblers, and Siyan is the only daughter of Huo Guang, the head of the Huo family, one of Hong Kong's four major families. As long as I raise my voice, the restaurant's name will be known throughout the country!"

"Really?"

Su Yu looked at Qin Ruyan and Huo Siyan in surprise, and the two women smiled and nodded at her simultaneously.

"So you have such great power behind you?"

Yan Rubing believed it now, and her voice was filled with excitement: "I'll call my sister right now and have her come to Hong Kong immediately!"

After saying that, she got up, picked up the phone, and told her sister in Moonlight City the good news.

"Feng Yin, what are your specific plans? Is there anything you need us sisters to do?"

After finishing the call, Yan Rubing took out a bottle of wine and filled all three of Xia Fengyin's glasses. She was extremely excited, and even the fact that there were no other customers in the restaurant couldn't dampen her excitement.

"My plan is to first open twenty chain restaurants in the capital cities of several coastal and central provinces. Once we've established a firm foothold, we'll expand to other cities. Ultimately, I want to have restaurants in every city in China, letting all the people of China know that China now has its own fast-food industry. Then, we'll send those foreign devils like KFC and McDonald's back to their home countries. I also plan to set up the flagship store in Macau, and on opening day, I'll invite famous singers Chen Huilan and Xia Xiaoqian to help out. Hehe! If we're going to do it, we'll do it big!"

Xia Fengyin said, revealing a typical shrewd businessman's face.

Actually, Xia Fengyin had his reasons for this plan. His restaurant chain was still in its early stages and needed a growth period. If it were to appear in every corner of China all at once, it might suffer losses due to cash flow problems and immature management. Setting up the flagship store in Macau was because most of Xia Fengyin's influence was there. The dozens of casinos owned by the Tian Shen Men (Heavenly God Sect) could provide a stable customer base for the restaurants, and with the Tian Shen Men's strength in Macau, other fast-food companies wouldn't dare to cause trouble!

Yan Rubing and the other two women were overjoyed upon hearing Xia Fengyin's plan. They all nodded in agreement, and Qin Ruyan couldn't help but kiss Xia Fengyin on the cheek: "I never imagined that someone as carefree as you would have such a talent for business!"

"Of course!"

Xia Fengyin touched the spot where Qin Ruyan had kissed him and said proudly, "I've always been multi-talented, you just haven't discovered it yet. But since you've been with me for so long, you've naturally improved a bit!"

"Pah!"

Qin Ruyan and Huo Siyan spat lightly at Xia Fengyin's smug look. This guy gets carried away after just one compliment.

Looking at the three bickering lovers, Yan Rubi felt both happy and envious. She couldn't help but think of her own unfortunate husband. Originally, both Yan Rubi and the Su Yanruyu sisters had happy families; both couples were loving and respectful to each other. Their husbands worked on the same ship. However, during a maritime accident, the ship struck a reef, and the two women never returned.

From then on, the young Yan Ruyu sisters became widows. Yan Ruyu also had a daughter, but she was lost due to special circumstances and has not been found to this day. Although countless men pursued the two women afterward, they were never moved. After emerging from their grief, they vowed never to marry again. To fill the void in their hearts, the two sisters used the compensation money given by the state after their husbands' sacrifice to open a restaurant together. However, things did not go as planned. Although the two sisters worked diligently day and night, the restaurant business never improved. Until today, when they met Xia Fengyin, the flame of hope in their hearts was rekindled by his grand plan. Yan Rubing even had a faint premonition that under Xia Fengyin's leadership, her restaurant would become the largest fast food chain in China.

However, when Yan Rubing heard Xia Fengyin mention hiring famous singers Chen Huilan and Xia Xiaoqian as spokespeople for the restaurant, she couldn't help but look troubled and said, "I know Chen Huilan and Xia Xiaoqian. They're the youngest divas in the pop music scene. They never endorse anything other than famous brands, let alone our fast food restaurant!"

Hearing Yan Rubing's words, Xia Fengyin couldn't help but chuckle. Others might not be able to hire Chen Huilan and Xia Xiaoqian as spokespeople, but he could! What kind of relationship did he have with them? They were husband and wife, sharing the same bed and meals!

Seeing Xia Fengyin's smug look, Qin Ruyan became angry and kicked him hard under the table.

"Ah!"

Xia Fengyin cried out in pain.

Yan Rubing and Huo Siyan were surprised to see Xia Fengyin's pained expression. Yan Rubing even thought she had said something wrong! She quickly comforted him, "Actually, it doesn't matter whether we invite Chen Huilan or Xia Xiaoqian. We can find another spokesperson. Anyway, there are plenty of celebrities in the entertainment industry. We can just hire a third-rate celebrity, which will save us money and trouble!"

Chapter 239: Two Women of One Heart

"Sister Rubi, Xia Fengyin's pained expression wasn't because of what you just said, but because of a leg cramp, right, Fengyin?"

After Qin Ruyan finished speaking, she looked at Xia Fengyin with a half-smile in her beautiful eyes.

"Yes! Yes! My leg cramped, cramped!"

Although Qin Ruyan kicked him, Xia Fengyin wasn't angry at all. On the contrary, he felt a sweet warmth in his heart. He chuckled and said, "Sister Rubi, leave the matter of asking Chen Huilan and Xia Xiaoqian to be spokespeople to me. You and Sister Ruyu, go find a suitable place to open a restaurant first, and let me know when you do!"

"That's right! This little thing is a piece of cake for Fengyin! Come on, let's all have a drink!"

After saying that, Qin Ruyan raised her glass and stood up first. Qin Ruyan had already guessed the relationship between Chen Huilan, her cousin Xia Xiaoqian, and Xia Fengyin, but now she didn't want to ask so much. As long as they were happy, that was all that mattered.

Yan Rubi originally wanted to ask more, but seeing that Xia Fengyin and Huo Siyan had both stood up, she hurriedly stood up and raised her glass as well.

"Come on, let's toast to the success of our 'Please Come' nationwide franchise!"

"Cheers!"

Four glasses filled with wine clinked together, producing a crisp and pleasant sound. This simple clinking completely changed the situation in China's fast food industry, which had been monopolized by foreign giants like McDonald's and KFC. A new fast food brand would be born through the efforts of these individuals.

After finishing his meal, Xia Fengyin, along with Qin Ruyan and the other two women, got up to say goodbye. Yan Rubing waited for her sister to discuss the restaurant's affairs.

As soon as they stepped through the gates of the Huo family mansion, Huo Siyan couldn't wait to ask, "Sister Yan, why was it so easy for Fengyin to hire Chen Huilan and Xia Xiaoqian as spokespeople for his restaurant? Although they're in the entertainment industry, our Huo family was firmly turned down when we asked them to endorse our food last time. My dad was willing to pay ten million for the endorsement!"

"You'll have to ask Fengyin himself!"

Qin Ruyan said, glancing slyly at Xia Fengyin, then added, "Chen Huilan and Xia Xiaoqian are probably just like us!"

"The same?"

Huo Siyan looked at Qin Ruyan in confusion.

"Yes, yes! Chen Huilan and Xia Xiaoqian are just like you, all incredibly beautiful girls! Hehe!"

Xia Fengyin chuckled dryly, then pulled the two women by the hands and led them into the mansion.

Knowing Qin Ruyan's personality, she wasn't about to let Xia Fengyin's scheme succeed. She whispered in Huo Siyan's ear that Chen Huilan and Xia Xiaoqian were also Xia Fengyin's girlfriends.

Huo Siyan's expression grew increasingly surprised. Before Qin Ruyan could finish speaking, she cried out in alarm, "What?! You actually gave Chen Huilan to me! You!"

Huo Siyan angrily swung her small fist at Xia Fengyin's chest, yelling, "You big pervert! How dare you treat my idol like this?!"

"No, Siyan, you've misunderstood!"

Xia Fengyin hurriedly dodged Huo Siyan's fist, his face filled with panic as he cried out, "Yanyan, explain yourself quickly! This could be fatal, ah!"

Huo Siyan's fist landed squarely on Xia Fengyin's shoulder.

Let's see if you dare to flirt with other girls outside again! Seeing Xia Fengyin's disheveled state, Qin Ruyan finally couldn't help but burst into loud laughter. It seemed Qin Ruyan's personality hadn't changed; she was still mischievous and liked to tease Xia Fengyin, but the bitterness in her heart was something only she knew.

Seeing that Xia Fengyin had been thoroughly subdued by Huo Siyan, Qin Ruyan finally spoke up. Suppressing a strong laugh, she said to Huo Siyan, "Siyan, actually, Xia Fengyin didn't force himself on her—that Chen Huilan, it was just that at the wrong time and in the wrong place, and the two of them happened to be together inappropriately. Chen Huilan already had feelings for Fengyin, so he was able to succeed!"

After saying this, she leaned close to Huo Siyan's ear again and told her some things.

"Oh, I see!"

Huo Siyan lowered her head somewhat ashamed, walked to Xia Fengyin's side, and affectionately took his hand, saying, "I'm so sorry! Did it hurt?"

"It hurt! You just attacked your future husband without asking any questions. Look, it's all swollen up here!"

After saying this, Xia Fengyin shamelessly held his hand high, as if wanting Huo Siyan to rub it for him.

The naive Huo Siyan was no match for Xia Fengyin. Already feeling guilty for wrongly accusing him, she now saw his erection and assumed it was genuinely swollen. She quickly reached out and gently massaged it for him. Her small hands were soft and smooth, and Xia Fengyin, enjoying this intimate treatment from the beautiful woman, almost cried out in pleasure. Qin Ruyan

watched this bickering couple, feeling a mix of sweetness, warmth, and bitterness. She had thought Xia Fengyin belonged only to her, but now she had to share him with many women.

Just as Qin Ruyan was deep in thought and Xia Fengyin was enjoying the services of a beautiful woman, Madam Huo, dressed in a light black cheongsam, walked out of the room with an air of nobility and elegance. When she saw her daughter rubbing Xia Fengyin's bottom in front of another girl, she felt both angry and amused. She was angry because her daughter had never been so kind to her before, and amused because Huo Siyan had always been stubborn and had a deep-seated prejudice against boys. Why did she immediately become a gentle and considerate lady when she saw Xia Fengyin? It's true that everyone has their match!

"Mom!"

Huo Siyan blushed immediately when she saw her mother. She took back her hand that was rubbing Xia Fengyin's bottom, lowered her head and stood aside, occasionally stealing glances at her mother, afraid that she would be angry because she was rubbing Xia Fengyin's bottom.

"Siyan, why did you stop? Mine's still swollen! Come here quickly and keep rubbing!"

Xia Fengyin was completely unaware of Madam Huo's arrival. When he felt the warm, soft little hand suddenly withdraw from his body, he hurriedly asked in confusion, while still swaying his big buttocks from side to side.

"You, Xia Fengyin! How dare you treat our Siyan like this!"

Madam Huo raised her little foot and lightly kicked Xia Fengyin's high, upturned buttocks, pretending to be angry as she scolded him.

Xia Fengyin was caught off guard and kicked by Madam Huo. He was about to turn around and curse angrily, but seeing that it was Huo Siyan's mother, his future mother-in-law, he quickly smiled and said, "Auntie, what you just saw wasn't Siyan rubbing my butt! How could a man like me, who loves and cherishes Siyan, let her do such a thing!"

Madam Huo found Xia Fengyin's righteous expression amusing. She had met countless people in her life, but she had never seen anyone so shameless! "Fine, since you call yourself a gentleman, I'd like to see what kind of explanation you can give me," Madam Huo chuckled. "So I saw it wrong? But I clearly saw Siyan rubbing you, rubbing!"

The word "rubbing" was indeed impolite, and Madam Huo's face involuntarily turned red as she said this.

Oh no, it turns out Madam Huo saw everything! Xia Fengyin panicked, his eyes darting around quickly. Soon he had an idea: "Actually, I was just making a bet with Siyan! She said I had a lot of fat on my upper body, and I said no, so I asked her to check with her hand! Right, Yan Yan?"

As Xia Fengyin spoke, he raised his eyebrows and kept winking at Qin Ruyan.

"Alright! I believe you!"

Madam Huo couldn't stand it anymore. She turned to Qin Ruyan and said with a smile, "This must be Fengyin's girlfriend. She's truly stunning!"

"How can I compare to you, Auntie! You are the real beauty!"

Qin Ruyan smiled politely and continued, "Fengyin has been staying at your house recently, which must have caused you a lot of trouble, right?"

"No trouble, but he has indeed stolen my daughter away!"

Madam Huo said, looking at Huo Siyan who was standing obediently to the side. Although she was scolding her, her eyes were full of maternal love. Suddenly, she seemed to remember something and hurriedly called out, "Everyone, come in quickly! I just made some excellent pastries and am waiting for you to come back and eat them!"

"Pastries? Where are they?"

Xia Fengyin loved pasta, and Madam Huo said that the pastries were made by herself, so the taste must be excellent. He no longer cared about manners (though he never really knew what manners were) and immediately headed for the living room.

Seeing his eagerness, Madam Huo and her two daughters giggled in unison. Qin Ruyan and Huo Siyan, appearing particularly ladylike, took Madam Huo's hand and escorted her slowly into the living room.

Madam Huo's pastries were indeed exquisite; each one was baked to perfection, golden brown, sweet but not cloying, and crisp but not crunchy. Xia Fengyin ate several large pieces, constantly exclaiming how delicious they were! By the time Madam Huo and her daughters arrived in the living room, only about half the pastries remained. However, they showed no displeasure. Xia Fengyin was Qin Ruyan and Huo Siyan's future husband, and they naturally wanted their beloved to eat more. As for Madam Huo, Xia Fengyin was her future son-in-law—a son-in-law is like half a son—and seeing him enjoy her pastries made her beam with joy. If Qin Ruyan hadn't stopped her, she would have gotten up and gone to the kitchen to make some more!

The pastries served as everyone's dinner. After they finished eating, Madam Huo began arranging accommodations for Qin Ruyan. Xia Fengyin, upon hearing this, hurriedly swallowed the pastry in his mouth and suggested, albeit unclearly, "Let Yanyan share a room with Siyan! She's a young lady; she might not be comfortable staying alone in this unfamiliar place!"

"Is that so?"

Madam Huo turned her questioning gaze to Qin Ruyan. Qin Ruyan knew perfectly well what Xia Fengyin meant; he wanted two women to serve one husband! However, Qin Ruyan had already made up her mind to give her body to Xia Fengyin that very night, thus truly becoming his woman. Therefore, when Xia Fengyin said this, Qin Ruyan simply rolled her eyes at him and nodded in agreement.

Seeing that the still-virgin Qin Ruyan agreed, Huo Siyan also shyly agreed, which delighted Xia Fengyin. He was overjoyed! However, he didn't show it on his face, but pretended to be concerned and said, "Remember to take a good shower before you go to bed tonight! We've worked up a lot of sweat today!"

Well, although Xia Fengyin is glib, he is still very caring. No wonder so many good girls like him. Mrs. Huo didn't understand the deeper meaning in Xia Fengyin's words at all, and her liking for Xia Fengyin increased even more. She looked at Qin Ruyan and the other two girls and said, "Xia Fengyin is right. You must be tired today. Go take a shower and rest!"

"Okay!"

Huo Siyan agreed shyly, and then pulled Qin Ruyan to her room to take a shower. In a super mansion like the Huo family's, almost every room has a bathroom. Huo Siyan's room is in a separate small building, so a large bathroom is of course indispensable.

Chapter 240: Swallows Flying Together

"I'm going to take a shower too!"

Xia Fengyin couldn't help but swallow hard, watching the stunning backs of Qin Ruyan and her companion. He jumped up from the sofa, ready to follow them to the shower.

"Stop!"

Just as Xia Fengyin was about to step out of the living room, Madam Huo's authoritative voice came from behind: "Come back! I have something to tell you!"

"Can we talk about it tomorrow?"

Xia Fengyin chuckled, preparing to continue walking. The two women had already reached Huo Siyan's pavilion; if he didn't go soon, he would miss a beautiful sight.

"No!"

Madam Huo stood up and came to Xia Fengyin's side, blocking his path. "Xia Fengyin, I know you have the God of Gamblers backing you, and I understand you are indeed a very talented young man. I have no objection to Siyan choosing to be with you! But you must promise to treat Siyan well for the rest of your life and never let her suffer the slightest grievance!"

"Of course!"

Xia Fengyin reluctantly withdrew his gaze from the two women, patted his chest, and loudly vowed, "I, Xia Fengyin, will never betray Si Yan's affection for me in this lifetime. As long as I am here, I will not allow anyone to bully her!"

Indeed, Huo Si Yan's feelings for Xia Fengyin were profound. As the heir to the Huo family, one of Hong Kong's four great families, she was originally a proud and arrogant princess who disliked interacting with boys since childhood. She didn't even look at any of Hong Kong's talented and charismatic men. However, after meeting Xia Fengyin on the plane, she completely changed. Not only was she gentle and kind to him even before knowing his identity, but she also gave him her virginity without hesitation. Even after hearing that Xia Fengyin had many women, she didn't mind too much and silently supported him in searching for Qin Ruyan, who had run away to Hong Kong. With such a beautiful girl and such a broad mind, if Xia Fengyin were still picky, he would no longer be a man of flesh and blood!

"Alright, I'm relieved to hear you say that. Go on! You've had a long day, take a bath and go to bed early!"

Madam Huo was very satisfied with Xia Fengyin's answer. She stepped aside to let him leave.

"Auntie, you should rest early too! Dark circles under your eyes won't make you pretty!"

Xia Fengyin said with a grin, then ran towards his room.

"That boy!"

Madam Huo chuckled and nodded slightly.

When Xia Fengyin left the living room, he went straight to his room. He dared not reveal his lecherous nature in front of Madam Huo!

That night, after seeing the lights in the Huo family's living room go out, Xia Fengyin knew that Madam Huo had gone to her room to sleep. He immediately sneaked out of his room and, using the garden lights as a guide, tiptoed to Huo Siyan's room.

"Yan Yan, Si Yan! My little darlings, my sweethearts, your husband is here!"

Xia Fengyin called out in a cheesy voice as he knocked on the door.

"Who is it?"

Huo Si Yan's playful voice came from inside the room: "We're not married yet! Where did this husband come from? Is he some big pervert? No way! Hehe!"

No way, Xia Fengyin panicked. He was burning with lust, his mind was filled with pent-up desire! Playing had always been Xia Fengyin's favorite pastime, and after taking the Yang ginseng, his desires had become even stronger. Sometimes, even one woman couldn't satisfy him. Xia Fengyin anxiously rubbed his hands together outside, then whispered into the room, "I'm not a pervert, I'm Xia Fengyin! Didn't you promise me you'd sleep with me tonight? I promise I won't do anything bad. If I break my promise, let me take care of you for the rest of my life! Okay?"

"You said it!"

The door suddenly opened, and Huo Siyan and Qin Ruyan looked at the anxious Xia Fengyin with giggles. "Come in! Hehe!"

So he'd been tricked by the two girls again! Xia Fengyin smiled helplessly. Why did he always become so foolish in front of the women he loved? No, it seems he needs to practice this skill more in the future! Otherwise, he'll be tormented by many women in the future!

"Hmm, why isn't the light on in the room?"

Xia Fengyin walked into Huo Siyan's room and saw that it was pitch black, even the windows were completely covered. He asked curiously.

There was no answer. After a long while, Huo Siyan's shy yet alluring voice was heard: "We're scared, go turn on the light yourself!"

"What's there to be scared of

turning on the light!" Xia Fengyin chuckled and casually turned on the room light. When the bright light instantly filled every corner of the room, Xia Fengyin was immediately stunned by the two women in front of him. Qin Ruyan and Huo Siyan were standing behind the door wearing sexy nightgowns. Qin Ruyan was wearing a pink silk nightgown that looked so smooth and pure. Her face was like the moon, her skin like cream, and her long eyelashes drooped naturally above her eyes. A pair of beautiful eyes, as beautiful as stars in the night sky, looked at Xia Fengyin with tenderness. Perhaps because of nervousness, her sexy and alluring lips trembled slightly. Her long, smooth black hair was still wet, and she was only wearing a pair of small slippers. Her pair of white legs were pressed tightly together, standing gracefully, like a beautiful lotus just emerging from the water.

Xia Fengyin's silvery gaze swept over Qin Ruyan before shifting to Huo Siyan. Although Huo Siyan and Xia Fengyin had already shared intimate moments, and her body was no longer unfamiliar to him, he was still taken aback when he saw her tonight. Unlike Qin Ruyan's gorgeous silk nightgown, Huo Siyan wore a cute style, with a large, clumsy bear embroidered on the chest. Huo Siyan was slightly fuller than Qin Ruyan, and the nightgown perfectly accentuated her adorable and lively side. Her face was flushed, her eyes were alluring, and the front of her nightgown was slightly open, revealing glimpses of her full, round, snow-white breasts. Several faint blushes, left by Xia Fengyin's mischief the day before, clung to her fair neck like plum blossoms blooming in the snow, complementing her white neck and making her incredibly alluring.

"Do you like us dressed like this?"

Qin Ruyan took Huo Siyan's small hand and walked slowly to Xia Fengyin's side. Xia Fengyin felt his whole body heat up and his mouth go dry. A fragrant scent wafted towards him—the natural fragrance of young girls mixed with the scent of shower gel. The fragrance was pleasant but not overpowering, giving him a sense of tranquility.

Faced with such temptation from two beauties, Xia Fengyin could hardly resist. He couldn't wait to reach out and pull the two women's soft, boneless bodies into his arms.

The two women had thoughtfully decorated the room romantically, with strings of colorful lights hanging on the walls, and even Huo Siyan's quilt was newly changed. However, Xia Fengyin had no time to notice any of this! Holding Huo Siyan's small hand and holding Qin Ruyan's arm, he took a few steps to the bedside.

"Which of you two wants to go first?"

Xia Fengyin looked at the two women lying on the bed, swallowed hard, and chuckled.

The two women blushed at Xia Fengyin's teasing, covering their faces and hesitant to agree. In the end, Qin Ruyan was the boldest, and she whimpered, "You choose! But tonight you can only have one of us. I read in a book that men shouldn't overdo it at night! Otherwise, their health will collapse."

"How could that be!"

Xia Fengyin chuckled. "Your husband is strong and robust, especially my little brother, which is incredibly powerful and unyielding! If you don't believe me, ask Siyan. That night—hey, Siyan, don't crawl under the covers!" As

Xia Fengyin spoke, he pulled Huo Siyan, who was too shy to resist, out of the covers.

Seeing Xia Fengyin pull Huo Siyan away, Qin Ruyan quickly sat up with a smile, coquettishly saying, "Yes! Siyan, we're the three of us now, so we should be more open about our intimate moments! Why are you still shyly hiding under the covers?"

"I knew my Yanyan was the most understanding!"

Xia Fengyin chuckled, releasing Huo Siyan and turning to pull Qin Ruyan into his arms. "Yanyan, you go first! I want you to be my woman, a real woman!"

With that, Xia Fengyin rolled over and pressed himself against Qin Ruyan's sexy and alluring body.

"Hehe! Sister Yanyan, set a good example for me!"

Huo Siyan, seeing that she had temporarily escaped Xia Fengyin's clutches, immediately whispered playfully in Qin Ruyan's ear.

"You little rascal, Siyan! Come on, come on!" Xia Fengyin said, pulling Huo Siyan down to his side as well. He then pulled the blanket over all three of them, covering them completely. The next morning, when the sun was high in the sky, Xia Fengyin slowly woke up. Looking at Qin Ruyan and the other woman lying on his arms, Xia Fengyin felt an unusual sense of peace and happiness. Last night, the two women, having been tormented by Xia Fengyin several times and brought to multiple orgasms, were still fast asleep in sweet dreams. Their faces were flushed, and smiles played on their lips; they must have been dreaming of something wonderful! And what made them both happy was the time they spent with their shared lover, Xia Fengyin.

Xia Fengyin kissed each of their delicate, pink faces before slowly removing their tightly embracing hands. He dressed and reluctantly walked out of the room. Xia Fengyin had to get back to his own room first; otherwise, it would be incredibly awkward if Madam Huo saw him coming out of Siyan's room.

As Xia Fengyin tiptoed into the garden, Madam Huo's clear, melodious voice suddenly came from behind: "Fengyin, what are you doing, sneaking around here all by yourself!"

"Nothing, nothing! I'm exercising! Oh! Three circles to the left, three circles to the right, twist your neck, twist! I'm exercising, going to bed early and getting up early to build up my body, so I can go to the battlefield next year to fight the enemy!"

Xia Fengyin sang a children's song without batting an eye, even pretending to twist his body as he sang. After he finished, he politely asked, "Good morning, Auntie! Why didn't you sleep a little longer?"

"It's still early! It's already past ten in the morning!"

Madam Huo cursed inwardly, then covered her mouth and chuckled. "Aren't Siyan and the others up yet? That girl is getting lazier and lazier. I have something important to discuss with her. Hmm, Fengyin, why don't you go and call them? Hey, I haven't finished speaking yet, why are you running off so fast!"

Xia Fengyin didn't want to leave Huo Siyan's room at all, but because this wasn't his own home, and he was worried that Madam Huo wouldn't accept the idea of two women serving one husband, he had no choice but to get up first. Now that he heard Madam Huo actually offer him a reason to go back to Huo Siyan's room, he immediately turned and ran back.

To Xia Fengyin's disappointment, Huo Siyan and the other woman were already up and dressed, combing their hair in front of the mirror!

Seeing Xia Fengyin enter, the two women immediately stood up shyly. Recalling the blissful experience of last night, their pretty faces involuntarily turned bright red.

"Good morning, my two wives!"

Xia Fengyin walked between the two women, pulled them into his arms, and let his mouth wander freely over their faces.

"No! It's daytime!"

Qin Ruyan's body was even more sensitive than Huo Siyan's. After only a few touches, she was already glazed over and panting heavily. While she was still lucid, she quickly pushed Xia Fengyin away.

"Hehe! Daytime debauchery is even more exciting!"

Xia Fengyin chuckled, then said seriously, "Auntie said she had something to do and asked me to wake you up. She even said you two are two particularly lazy pigs!"

Auntie, I'm so sorry! Xia Fengyin muttered to himself after saying that.

"Then let's hurry to the living room!"

Huo Siyan knew that her mother said it was something important, so it must be very urgent. She quickly grabbed Xia Fengyin and Qin Ruyan's hands and hurried out of the room.

Chapter 241:

When Shennong Yeren entered the living room, he saw four people sitting on the sofa. One of them was Madam Huo, and beside her was Huo Guang, who had been bedridden. On the sofa next to Huo Guang sat an elderly man with sharp eyes and a deep complexion. He looked to be about the same age as Huo Guang, but was much stronger. Beside the elderly man was an extremely handsome young man with fair skin and delicate features. He even looked more like a beautiful young woman. If it weren't for the suit he was wearing, Xia Fengyin wouldn't have recognized him.

Qin Ruyan looked at the young man and couldn't help but be surprised. There were such handsome men in the world! The world is truly full of wonders! However, her heart already belonged to someone else, and she only glanced at the young man before looking away. As for Huo Siyan, strangely enough, she didn't even look at this handsome man directly, but only gazed at Xia Fengyin with affection in her eyes.

"Come, Fengyin, Siyan, Ruyan, all three of you, please sit here!"

Madam Huo stood up and smiled, inviting Xia Fengyin and the other two to sit on another sofa. This sofa was directly opposite the young man, and what shocked Xia Fengyin even more was that the young man only glanced at the two stunning beauties, Qin Ruyan, without even changing his expression. Was he gay? Xia Fengyin wondered.

"Come, let me introduce you!"

Huo Guang said, pointing to the old man on the sofa, "This is my second brother, Huo Zheng, and this is his son, Huo Jingtao. And these two are Xia—"

"My name is Xia Fengyin, and this is my girlfriend, Qin Ruyan!"

Huo Guang was about to introduce Xia Fengyin when he was interrupted. Xia Fengyin cleared his throat, stood up, and introduced himself and Qin Ruyan.

"So you're that glib-tongued Xia Fengyin! I've heard my daughter Tingxiang mention you before! It's a pleasure to meet you!" As

soon as Xia Fengyin finished introducing himself, Huo Zheng across from him started to tease him. Yesterday, his daughter Huo Tingxiang told him that a young man named Xia Fengyin had come to Huo Guang's house. He was not only eloquent but also full of tricks and was a very formidable person. He couldn't wait to come and test him out, but he found that Xia Fengyin was just an ordinary-looking man. Apart from interrupting his elders when they were speaking, he didn't seem to have any special skills.

Xia Fengyin was furious that Huo Zheng dared to ridicule him in public, but he didn't show it on his face. Instead, he chuckled and said, "Xia Fengyin greets Uncle Huo. I've heard people talk about you since I was little! They praise you for being brave and resourceful, with exceptional wisdom, sweeping away thousands of troops, and never faltering! Not only is your fame widespread, but you're so powerful that even the female wild women of Shennongjia tremble with fear!"

"Thank you for the compliment!"

Huo Zheng thought Xia Fengyin was praising him and immediately became smug. But he quickly realized that Xia Fengyin was actually indirectly insulting him. What did he mean by "even the female wild women of Shennongjia tremble with fear"? Wasn't that implying that he often had affairs with female wild women? But he understood the meaning and couldn't retaliate. He could only snort and remain silent.

"Alright! Fengyin, don't be rude to your elders!"

Huo Guang, fearing the situation would escalate, immediately stopped Xia Fengyin from continuing. However, Huo Guang was secretly pleased. Huo Zheng was his elder brother, who was always plotting to usurp his position. Out of politeness, he had never spoken ill of Huo Zheng. Now, having been thoroughly scolded by Xia Fengyin, he felt a sense of satisfaction.

Xia Fengyin stopped speaking as soon as Huo Guang spoke, but in his heart, he had already cursed Huo Zheng countless times. Damn it, how dare he provoke me the moment we meet! I curse you to be hit by a car and die!

"Siyan greets Second Uncle!"

Although Huo Siyan was unwilling, she still politely stood up and greeted Huo Zheng.

"Hmm, our Siyan is getting more and more beautiful!"

Huo Zheng praised with a forced smile, then turned to Huo Guang and said, "Third brother, I came here today to ask if the next generation of the Huo family patriarch has been decided. Jing Tao just happened to be back from abroad, so let's settle this matter as soon as possible!"

Huo Guang had long anticipated Huo Zheng's words. His intention was simply to secure his son's position as the next patriarch of the Huo family while he was still alive. Huo Guang cursed inwardly, then smiled and said, "Not yet. I've been considering this matter for some time now, and I've decided to hold a family meeting tomorrow morning to announce my decision. As for who is most qualified for this position, that depends on their abilities."

"Whose abilities!"

Huo Zheng smiled confidently. "With Jing Tao's abilities, is there anyone among the younger generation of the Huo family stronger than him? I think the position of patriarch—"

"Hey, Second Uncle Huo, what you said is exactly the same as what First Uncle Huo said yesterday! Except for changing 'Fengtian' to 'Jing Tao,' the rest of the characters are almost identical. Truly brothers, we're in perfect sync!"

Xia Fengyin said, his face full of admiration, but inwardly cursing, "The position of patriarch of the Huo family belongs to my wife, Si Yan. You bastards, no one can take it from me."

"Oh?"

Huo Zheng looked at Xia Fengyin with a puzzled expression. "Did my elder brother come to see you yesterday?"

"Hehe! He didn't just come! He brought us a whole bunch of gifts!"

Xia Fengyin chuckled, preparing to sow discord between Huo Teng and Huo Zheng. Of course, it would be even better if he could receive some gifts as well.

"Yes!"

Huo Guang understood Xia Fengyin's meaning and immediately cooperated, though he rarely lied and was still a little uncomfortable.

Huo Teng came to the Huo family yesterday, so why didn't I see the spies I had placed around Huo Guang's room? Huo Zheng pondered for a moment, then said, "Since the family meeting is tomorrow morning, Jing Tao and I will take our leave now. We'll go back and prepare. We hope our third brother will be fair and impartial!" "

Don't worry, second brother. I, as the clan leader, have always been fair and impartial!"

Huo Guang smiled slightly and then instructed the steward Xie Canghai to see Huo Zheng and his companion out.

Gazing at Huo Jingtao's tall and dashing back, Xia Fengyin's doubts deepened. Why did he remain silent, as if the struggle for the clan leader's position had nothing to do with him? And why did he show no change in expression even when faced with a woman as beautiful as Yan Yan?

"You must be wondering why Huo Jingtao is so cold,"

Huo Guang seemed to sense Xia Fengyin's confusion and quickly asked with a smile.

"Yes!"

Xia Fengyin nodded in agreement.

"That's because Huo Jingtao suffered a great blow! About four years ago, Huo Jingtao had been in a relationship for five years, but his beloved girlfriend died in a car accident on the day they were supposed to get married. His mother also passed away two days later. The successive blows caused him great trauma. Since then, he has become taciturn, as if he has seen through the world and no longer cares about fame and fortune. His father, Huo Zheng, sent him and his sister Huo Tingxiang to study in the United States to help him get out of the shadow of grief. But judging from his current situation, Huo Jingtao still hasn't been able to get out of the shadow of grief! However, Huo Zheng has always wanted to help his son become the clan leader, so he specially asked the two siblings to come back from abroad this time!"

Huo Guang said, and his face showed a look of fatigue. He seemed extremely disgusted with the intrigue between the brothers. But in the world, one has no choice. For the Huo family to develop better and for his daughter to live a life of luxury in the future, he had to do this.

"I never imagined Huo Jingtao's fate would be so tragic!"

Xia Fengyin felt a pang of sympathy after hearing Huo Jingtao's story. Being devoted to love is a good thing, but it shouldn't go too far. After all, life is short, and living happily is the most important thing! Thinking this, Xia Fengyin no longer cared that Huo Guang and his wife were beside him. He reached out and tightly embraced Huo Siyan and Qin Ruyan. Compared to Huo Jingtao, although he wasn't born into a prestigious family, he was able to be with the girl he loved—this was truly immense happiness!

Next, Xia Fengyin discussed some details of the family meeting with Huo Guang. After lunch, Yan Rubing called, saying that her sister, Yan Ruyu, had arrived in Hong Kong and wanted Xia Fengyin to come over to discuss opening a restaurant chain. Qin Ruyan went shopping with Huo Siyan. Girls everywhere share a common hobby: shopping. They never tire of it.

When Xia Fengyin arrived at Yan Rubi's restaurant, the Yan sisters, Ruyu and Yan Rubi, were chatting together. Upon seeing him enter, they immediately stood up to greet him with extreme respect. Even Xia Fengyin, who was never one for modesty, felt embarrassed. Yan Ruyu and Yan Rubi truly lived up to their reputation as twin sisters; not only did they share a striking resemblance in appearance, but their figures were also quite similar. Although they had long since passed the bloom of youth, they exuded the unique charm of mature women. Every movement, every word, revealed the elegance and grace of a seasoned woman.

"Sister Ruyu, Sister Rubi!"

Xia Fengyin greeted politely, then revealed his true nature: "Sister Ruyu, long time no see! You've become even more beautiful. Do you have some unique beauty secrets?"

"Not at all!"

Yan Ruyu smiled charmingly, then said, "Thank you for supporting our joint restaurant company! I didn't expect you to become so capable in just a few months!"

"Not at all,"

Xia Fengyin was unusually modest: "Sister Ruyu, have you and Sister Rubi discussed it yet? I'm a novice, so you'll have to arrange the specific details of opening the restaurant!"

"Yes, we've planned everything out, we're just waiting for your approval!"

After saying that, Yan Ruyu took out a detailed topographical map of China, pointed to it, and said, "We plan to open three restaurants in Hong Kong, three in Macau, and two in the capital cities of other provinces, to test the waters first. If the profits are high, we'll continue to expand to smaller cities!"

"Good!"

Xia Fengyin nodded approvingly: "This arrangement is excellent! It's always best to proceed cautiously and steadily!"

“Oh, right, there’s one more thing!”

Yan Ruyu said, looking troubled. “When each of our restaurants opens, we need to invite some celebrities to show their support, but my sister and I don’t have that ability, so—”

“I know!”

Xia Fengyin smiled slightly. “Leave the matter of inviting celebrities to be restaurant spokespeople to me. You just need to choose the specific location and opening date of the restaurant and then tell me! As for the future profits, let’s split them 50/50!”

“How can that be?”

Yan Ruyu, who had been smiling and silent all along, interjected. “My sister and I have neither funds nor connections. How can we split them 50/50? Just treat us as employees and give us a salary every month!”

Xia Fengyin smiled and shook his head. “Sister Ruyu, just based on how well you two have taken care of Yan Yan and me, you deserve 50% of the profits. Besides, we don’t even know if we’ll make any money yet! So please don’t refuse!”

"Yes!"

Seeing Xia Fengyin's resolute attitude, the Yan sisters had no choice but to nod in agreement. Their woman's intuition told them that by following Xia Fengyin, they would surely become incredibly wealthy.

Chapter 242: Spokesperson for Two

After discussing some specific details about opening the restaurant with the Yan Ruyu sisters, Xia Fengyin took a taxi back to the Huo family home. Qin Ruyan and the other two women hadn't returned from the street yet. Feeling bored, Xia Fengyin decided to call Chen Huilan and Xia Xiaoqian to discuss the restaurant's endorsement. Thinking about it, Xia Fengyin felt ashamed; he hadn't called the two women in so long! However, Xia Fengyin often saw Chen Huilan and Xia Xiaoqian on television, either attending events or cutting ribbons for well-known companies.

"Hello! Who is it?"

As soon as Xia Fengyin answered the phone, Chen Huilan's lazy voice came from the other end; she was obviously sleeping. Being a celebrity was tough; not only did they often have their days and nights reversed, but sometimes they wouldn't sleep for days on end.

"It's me! Lanlan, my little darling!"

Xia Fengyin called out affectionately.

"Really? Is that Feng Yin?"

Lanlan's excited voice came from the other end. "You lazy pig, why haven't you called me in so long? Have you forgotten about me?"

"No, absolutely not! I think about you every single moment of every day, especially when there's thunder and lightning. I can't sleep at night, wondering if anyone is taking care of you!"

"Really? Don't worry, Grandpa and Mom will take care of me! When are you coming to Macau again? I miss you so much!"

"Soon, I'm in Hong Kong now. I'll come over after I finish things here!"

"Oh, what are you doing in Hong Kong?"

Gao Jin obviously hadn't told Lanlan that Xia Fengyin was in Hong Kong. When she heard that Xia Fengyin was actually in Hong Kong, Lanlan immediately asked in surprise.

"My darling! I'm preparing to open a restaurant chain in Hong Kong. I have to work hard to earn money! Otherwise, how can I support my precious Lanlan?"

"Really? You're so sweet!"

Lanlan gave the receiver a sweet kiss.

"By the way, my restaurant is looking for two spokespeople. I wonder if you have any suitable candidates in the entertainment industry?"

Xia Fengyin didn't directly ask Chen Huilan and Xia Xiaoqian to be spokespeople, but subtly sought her opinion. Knowing Lanlan's personality, she would definitely take on this task.

Just as Xia Fengyin expected, Lanlan immediately replied, "You lazy bum, why would we need to find someone else? Aren't Xiaoqian and I the best choices?"

"Hmm, right! But don't you two never endorse anything other than cosmetics? Besides, I don't want you to be too tired! I think we should find someone else!"

"You dare?"

Lanlan threatened angrily, "Your restaurant can only have Xiaoqian and me as spokespeople, otherwise I'll come and cause trouble all the time!"

"Is that so?"

Xia Fengyin pretended to be hesitant and said, "But our restaurant is just starting out and doesn't have much money. What about the endorsement fee?"

"I know! You miser! I don't want your endorsement fee!"

Lanlan scolded lightly, then said coquettishly, "When will your restaurant open? I really want to see you right now!"

"Soon, soon!"

Xia Fengyin suppressed a smile, "Our restaurant's main branch will be in Macau, and I'll come to see you then. It's been so long since I kissed my Lanlan, I've missed her terribly!"

"Get away from me, you big pervert! Don't I know you have so many girls you like outside!"

Lanlan felt a pang of jealousy at the thought of sharing Xia Fengyin with so many girls.

"Don't worry! With a pretty girl like Lanlan, how could I possibly have any other thoughts! You wait patiently in Macau, I'll be there soon!"

"Okay, I'll wait for you! Hurry up and come!"

With that, Lanlan hung up the phone, clearly having other things to do at her company.

The conversation between Chen Huilan and Xia Fengyin soon repeated itself between Xia Xiaoqian and Xia Fengyin.

Ah! Having many wives is great! Xia Fengyin happily stuffed his phone into his pocket. Just then, he suddenly saw Qin Ruyan and the other woman returning with large bags and small packages. Xia Fengyin hurriedly went to greet them: "My two wives, you've worked hard. Did you buy me anything?"

As he spoke, Xia Fengyin, like a child, started rummaging through the plastic bags Qin Ruyan was carrying.

"Wow! What's this?"

Xia Fengyin touched something that looked like a chain. "No way, Siyan, you guys are too good to me. Even though your family is rich, you didn't need to buy me such a thick necklace! Is it pure gold? It must weigh several ounces!"

"Yes! It's for you!"

Qin Ruyan and the other woman suppressed their laughter and handed the plastic bag to Xia Fengyin, letting him look through it himself.

"Wow! This doesn't seem to be made of gold! Why is there a bell on it?"

Xia Fengyin took out the necklace and, seeing that it was silver-white with a small bell hanging on it, immediately asked in surprise.

"It's for my pet dog, Jim! Haha!"

Huo Siyan couldn't help but burst into laughter when she saw Xia Fengyin looking at the chain from left to right.

"Hehe, my eyes are playing tricks on me. I overworked last night and didn't sleep well!"

Xia Fengyin smiled sheepishly and put the chain back in the plastic bag.

"Pah!"

Huo Siyan and Qin Ruyan spat simultaneously. "Where were you working last night? You were clearly bullying us!

" "Here, the stuff in this bag is for you!"

Qin Ruyan suppressed a laugh and handed Xia Fengyin another plastic bag. Xia Fengyin quickly opened it and saw a black, expensive suit, a light blue tie, and a pair of gleaming leather shoes.

"Thank you, my wife!"

Xia Fengyin kissed Huo Siyan and Qin Ruyan on the cheeks, deeply moved. His mother had passed away when he was young, and his father was always busy with work. In his memory, no one had ever bought him clothes before! Now, holding this expensive suit, Xia Fengyin felt a happiness he had never felt before. He had family in this world who cared for and loved him again, and not just one! Thinking of this, Xia Fengyin's eyes welled up with tears, and his heart warmed.

"Fengyin, what's wrong?"

Qin Ruyan noticed that Xia Fengyin's eyes were suddenly glistening with tears. She immediately used her handkerchief to gently wipe them away. Since she had known Xia Fengyin, this was the first time she had ever seen him cry! Her heart tightened immediately, and she hugged Xia Fengyin tightly.

"It's nothing, it's nothing! I'm just so touched that you bought me things! It's nothing!"

Xia Fengyin desperately held back his tears, forcing a bright smile.

"It's nothing! We're your wives, and we'll buy you things often in the future!"

Huo Siyan put down the plastic bag she was carrying and hugged Xia Fengyin from behind. The three of them hugged each other for a long time, with Xia Fengyin at the center, feeling each other's love and enjoying this rare warmth.

The next day was the Huo family's general meeting. To prevent any accidents, Huo Guang made careful arrangements, not only sending his elite subordinates to guard the area around the family's meeting hall, but also deciding to take Xia Fengyin with him.

Around eight o'clock in the morning, Huo Guang led Xie Canghai and Xia Fengyin to the small room behind the conference hall. The clan leader usually only appears when most of the clan members have arrived, in order to show his noble status and supreme power.

From this small room, one could clearly see everything happening in the Huo family's meeting hall. Shortly after Xia Fengyin and his companions arrived, members of the Huo family, numbering around thirty, arrived as well as ambitious young men. Huo Jingtao and Huo Fengtian were the most prominent. Clearly, the Huo family was divided into two factions: one supporting Huo Teng, and the other supporting Huo Zheng. Both sides were roughly equal in strength, numbering about fifteen people each. They sat on either side of a large table, discussing something.

Seeing the opportunity, Huo Guang immediately told Xia Fengyin and Xie Canghai to stay in the small room and went to the meeting room. As soon

as Huo Guang appeared, everyone quieted down. It seemed Huo Guang still held considerable prestige; however, because he had a daughter, according to Huo family rules, she could not be designated as the heir to the patriarch. This led some to join Huo Teng or Huo Zheng's side early on, hoping to secure their future.

"We've come today to discuss the successor to the next patriarch of the Huo family. After careful consideration, I've decided to choose between Huo Fengtian and Huo Jingtao!"

Huo Guang dropped a bombshell as soon as he took the patriarch's seat.

"Patriarch, what about your daughter?"

an elderly man, extremely loyal to Huo Guang, asked. "According to the clan rules, the position of patriarch can only be held by the son of the previous patriarch!"

"Uncle Feng, that's the clan rule!"

Huo Guang smiled slightly at the old man. "However, I am unfortunate and have no son. Therefore, I will not favor my daughter by passing the patriarchal position to her. I have decided that the successor will be chosen between Huo Fengtian and Huo Jingtao, and I also guarantee that Huo Siyan will not become the successor to the Huo family patriarch until either of them commits a serious offense!"

"What?"

Not only the old man called Uncle Feng, but all the Huo family members present were stunned. Hadn't Huo Guang always intended to pass the patriarchal position to his daughter? Why was he making such a guarantee now? Wasn't that cutting off his own path to succession?

"Third brother, you should really reconsider!"

An elderly man sitting next to Huo Fengtian said insincerely. Needless to say, this must be Huo Fengtian's father, Huo Guang's old rival, Huo Teng. He was a portly man with a bulging belly, and his small eyes darted around constantly; he looked every bit the cunning and treacherous villain.

"Yes, third brother, think it over carefully. If you're willing, we can give Siyan a fair chance. Although she's a girl, she's your only daughter!"

Huo Zheng, not wanting to be outdone, feigned concern, urging Huo Guang to change his mind.

Huo Guang watched his two elder brothers putting on a show and couldn't help but find it amusing. He waved his hand, interrupting the others who were about to speak: "Brothers, Uncle Feng, please stop trying to persuade me. I've thought about this matter for a long time and have decided that Huo Fengtian and Huo Jingtao will compete in both written and martial arts tests, and then I will assign them a family management task. Whoever wins will be designated as the next successor to the Huo family head! The written and martial arts tests are worth fifty points, and the task I assign is worth fifty points!"

"Alright, since our third brother says so, we have no choice but to obey!"

Huo Teng and Huo Zheng simultaneously agreed to Huo Guang's proposal. Now that Huo Siyan was out of the running, they were both thinking about how to defeat their only rival. Although Huo Jingtao was slightly stronger in the written test because he had studied abroad, Huo Fengtian had practiced martial arts since childhood and was absolutely certain to win in a martial arts fight. Therefore, this competition could be considered very fair, with both sides evenly matched and the outcome uncertain. This meant they were bound to play dirty tricks behind the scenes. In truth, Huo Jingtao had absolutely no interest in the position of family patriarch; he was now disheartened. If it weren't for his father, Huo Zheng, desperately trying to persuade him, he probably would have already given up and never returned from his foreign land.

Chapter 243: The Theory of Love

"Then let's hold the written and physical tests this afternoon! As for the tasks I assign, I'll tell everyone tomorrow!"

Having said that, Huo Guang, seeing no one had any further objections, announced the end of the family meeting.

Back in the small house from the meeting room, Huo Guang couldn't wait to ask Xia Fengyin, "Are we really not going to think about what tasks to assign them? What if—"

"No 'what if'!"

Xia Fengyin explained confidently, "Just wait and see the show. As for that task, don't even think about it!"

"I hope so!"

Huo Guang sighed, clearly unsure of the outcome.

"By the way, Uncle, are you sure Huo Fengtian will win the martial arts competition, and Huo Jingtao will win the written exam?"

"Yes, I watched them grow up, I'm absolutely certain of that!"

"That's good. At the latest tonight, the Huo family will definitely have a good show. As for who suffers, that depends on their scheming skills!"

Xia Fengyin suddenly thought of the stunningly beautiful Huo Tingxiang, hoping she wouldn't be implicated! Otherwise, he would regret it for the rest of his life.

The written exam took place two hours later. The exam papers had been prepared in advance, and the questions were all about Huo family history or family management. Huo Jingtao knew a little about these, while Huo Fengtian was completely clueless. The final result was predictable: Huo Jingtao won the first written exam.

The martial arts competition took place in the afternoon. After lunch, Xia Fengyin instructed Huo Siyan to call Huo Tingxiang, saying he had something important to discuss with her and asked her to come to the Huo family residence. Xia Fengyin did this entirely for Huo Tingxiang's safety; better safe than sorry!

The afternoon's martial arts competition was held in the open space outside the Huo family's meeting room. Almost everyone in the Huo family was present, especially Huo Teng and his son, who brought a large group of people to cheer them on. Huo Fengtian was full of confidence. Although he had lost the written test that morning, he was certain of victory in the afternoon's martial arts competition.

Sure enough, as soon as Huo Jingtao entered the arena, he was beaten to the ground by Huo Fengtian and had no chance to fight back. Huo Fengtian pinned him to the ground and beat him until his face was bruised and swollen.

After being beaten black and blue, Huo Jingtao's handsome face immediately became disheveled. Huo Zheng, worried that his son would be seriously injured, hurriedly asked the martial arts competition to stop, and so it ended with Huo Fengtian's victory.

That night, Xia Fengyin lay in bed, feeling restless, as if something important was about to happen. For the past two nights, he hadn't visited Qin Ruyan and the other woman; after all, this wasn't his own home, and it wasn't convenient to do anything.

Unable to sleep, Xia Fengyin got up and went for a walk in the garden. He ended up downstairs at Huo Siyan's room—a matter of habit, hehe! Just as Xia Fengyin realized he was coming and was about to go back, Qin Ruyan, who had come out from upstairs, saw him: "Fengyin, come on up! Play with us!"

"Hmm, Yanyan, Huo Tingxiang is in your room too, so I won't come up! Hehe!"

Xia Fengyin declined verbally, but his feet moved faster than anyone else's, and he was beside Qin Ruyan in just a few steps.

"Yanyan, aren't you two asleep so late?"

Xia Fengyin kissed Qin Ruyan's cheek, craning his neck and constantly peering into Huo Siyan's room.

"Come in! It's not like you've never been before!"

Qin Ruyan chuckled, pushing Xia Fengyin into the room before closing the door behind her.

"Fengyin, you're here!"

When Huo Siyan saw Xia Fengyin suddenly appear in her room, she didn't care that others were present and immediately ran into his arms. For the past two days, Xia Fengyin had been busy with the Huo family's annual meeting, neglecting the two girls. Seeing him now, they were incredibly excited.

Xia Fengyin happily kissed Huo Siyan on the cheek. Huo Tingxiang, who was also sitting there, was stunned to see Huo Siyan, who usually disliked boys, being so intimate with Xia Fengyin.

"Hehe! I'll sleep here tonight!"

Xia Fengyin said with a grin, looking at the blushing Huo Tingxiang, and sat down next to her. "Siyan, can I sleep here tonight?"

"Hmm! No—no! Tingxiang is sleeping here tonight too!"

Huo Siyan was about to agree, but seeing Huo Tingxiang's apple-red face, she quickly refused Xia Fengyin's offer.

"It's okay! I don't mind sleeping with her!"

Xia Fengyin shamelessly lay down, and Huo Tingxiang quickly moved away. Heh heh! Who told you to hold my hand so hard that day? Just because you're pretty doesn't mean you're so great! I'm a super handsome guy! Seeing Huo Tingxiang's nervous expression, Xia Fengyin felt incredibly satisfied.

"Xia Fengyin, you better get out of here right now! Or I'll scream!"

Huo Tingxiang threatened loudly, preparing to pull out her fist and physically attack Xia Fengyin.

"Heh heh! Okay then!"

Xia Fengyin was afraid Huo Tingxiang would really scream, and then the whole Huo family would know he'd come to Huo Siyan's room to harass someone that night. For the sake of his male pride and his own "innocence," Xia Fengyin had to suppress his impulse, giving Huo Siyan and Qin Ruyan a quick kiss on the cheek before leaving disappointed. However, Xia Fengyin didn't blame Huo Tingxiang at all; on the contrary, his interest in her grew even stronger. Such a thorny rose, once its heart was captured, would be absolutely loyal.

After Xia Fengyin left, Huo Tingxiang's tense emotions finally calmed down. She sat down on the edge of the bed again, asking with a puzzled look, "Siyan, Yanyan, what exactly is your relationship with Xia Fengyin? Why did he treat you so lightly, yet you still let him get away with it?"

"That's because—because Xia Fengyin is both of our boyfriends!"

Qin Ruyan paused shyly, then said firmly, "We both love him, and he loves us deeply, so whatever he does to us isn't lightly; on the contrary, we like it very much!"

After saying this, Qin Ruyan looked at Huo Siyan, who nodded firmly in return.

Everything was in chaos! Huo Tingxiang could hardly believe her ears. Having received a Western education, the idea of monogamy was deeply ingrained in her. At this moment, she stared at Qin Ruyan and the other woman in astonishment, as if looking at aliens: "Don't you think this is unfair to you? Monogamy is a universally accepted principle and has been proven in practice to be the most suitable marriage system for humanity. Only when you fully possess your lover can you receive all of his love!"

Hearing Huo Tingxiang's analysis, Qin Ruyan smiled and shook her head: "What you said is the same as my original thought. I originally believed that a girl shouldn't share the love of the same person with other girls, so after Xia Fengyin had several women, I left him without saying goodbye." I came to Hong Kong alone, but once there, I realized my initial assumptions were wrong. Not only could I not forget him, but I missed him even more, day and night. That's when I understood that loving someone isn't about making them love only you, but about how much they love you in return! It's like a man who has ten parts love; he gives six to another girl and gives you the remaining four without reservation. You receive his four parts of love, and nourished by that love, you feel incredibly happy. Another man also has ten parts love, but he keeps nine parts for himself. In the end, although you possess him completely, you only receive one-tenth of his love. Think about it, in which situation would you be happier?

“What you said seems to make a lot of sense!”

Huo Tingxiang nodded with a smile, then asked, “Are you sure Xia Fengyin has given you all his love without reservation? Could he just be a womanizer who deceives girls?”

“No way! Fengyin isn’t a womanizer at all!”

Huo Siyan wouldn’t allow anyone to speak ill of Xia Fengyin. If Huo Tingxiang weren’t her cousin, she probably would have already started cursing. But she was also angry at the moment, and she retorted to Huo Tingxiang’s opinion with a hint of displeasure.

“Siyan, that’s not what I meant!”

Huo Tingxiang didn’t expect Huo Siyan to defend Xia Fengyin like that, and immediately explained awkwardly. A new question arose in her mind: what was it about Xia Fengyin that made so many girls secretly fall for him? And all these girls were incredibly beautiful and came from prominent families!

"Siyan, don't be angry anymore. Tingxiang is only doing this for our own good!"

Qin Ruyan smiled and patted Huo Siyan's shoulder, then looked at Huo Tingxiang and said, "Tingxiang, you probably don't have someone you love yet, right? You'll feel that way when you're truly in love. Okay, let's go to sleep! It's very late now!"

After saying that, Qin Ruyan pulled back the covers and pushed Huo Tingxiang and Huo Siyan down onto the bed.

The next morning, Huo Guang would announce the final task for the successor review in the Huo family conference room: completing a task related to economic management.

Xia Fengyin and Xie Canghai were still in the small room behind the conference room. Huo Guang came to the conference room alone. Two-thirds of the people in the conference room were already there. Huo Teng and his son were already waiting there, their faces calm and showing no signs of nervousness. In fact, in terms of real ability, Huo Jingtao was more likely to complete this task, because it involved management knowledge. Huo Fengtian knew absolutely nothing about this, while Huo Jingtao had studied management knowledge before.

To Huo Guang's surprise, the usually punctual Huo Zheng and his son hadn't appeared yet. The Huo family rules clearly stated that anyone late for the selection of the patriarch would be disqualified. How could someone who couldn't even be punctual be fit for the responsibility of patriarch?

Huo Guang glanced at his watch; there were only three minutes left. If Huo Zheng and his son didn't appear soon, Huo Guang would have no choice but to declare Huo Fengtian the successor according to the rules.

Xia Fengyin, peeking through the crack in the small house, saw Huo Fengtian and his son sitting leisurely in chairs, sipping Longjing tea. Their expressions were normal, but Huo Fengtian's eyes held a hint of smugness. "

I understand!" Xia Fengyin turned to Xie Canghai and said, "The Huo family must have taken advantage of the clan rule that latecomers are disqualified from inheritance, sending people to trap the Huo family on their way here. Damn, their methods are quite clever! But you're still far behind!"

Xia Fengyin smiled smugly. After leaving Huo Siyan's room last night, Xia Fengyin hadn't returned to his own room but had gone out to handle a very important matter.

However, Xia Fengyin's guess was only half right. Immediately, a Huo family servant ran into the meeting room covered in blood. He was wounded all over, one arm was a bloody mess, and bright red blood dripped onto the floor.

"Clan—Clan Leader! Second Master—he, he was blown up—killed!"

At this point, the servant fainted from blood loss.

"This servant is Huo Zheng's driver!"

Xie Canghai, standing behind Xia Fengyin, exclaimed in surprise, "Let's go out and check!"
