Chapter 18: From Afar

The two embraced for a while before parting.

Only now did Wang Haoran realize that Ning Xueluo’s white robe was torn and dirty, and her long hair was disheveled. He suggested she take a bath first.

A few minutes later, the bathroom door opened.

Lying on the bed, Wang Haoran looked over.

Ning Xueluo, wearing only an oversized white shirt, hopped over and jumped onto the bed, pressing her delicate body against Wang Haoran, and nuzzling her head against his chest.

Wang Haoran stroked her hair, finding it dry.

After all, she was a martial arts master at the Transformation level. Even in her severely injured state, drying her hair was a minor feat.

Wang Haoran continued running his fingers through Ning Xueluo’s hair.

Ning Xueluo traced circles on Wang Haoran’s chest with her fingers, murmuring softly.

“Haoran…♥ husband… big bad guy… master…”

“Master… big bad guy… husband… Haoran…♥”

After repeating this several times, Ning Xueluo began to recount her experiences before coming to Wang Haoran’s home, her tone filled with grievance.

“Haoran, you know, after I failed to break through Grandmaster, I remembered you.”

“Then, I ran non-stop to find you.”

“I had no ID, no money, so I had to run on foot, day and night, for four days and nights!”

“I was injured and had no time to eat, but I didn’t stop. I just wanted to see you.”

“If you didn’t want me, I really wouldn’t know what to do!”

No, you know, you would have killed me if i dont want you!

Wang Haoran thought to himself.

Considering the distance from Ning Xueluo’s secluded location to S City, even a martial arts master would have to exert their full strength to make it in four days.

So Wang Haoran felt a bit sorry for her and began comforting her gently.

Before long, Ning Xueluo, feeling relaxed, slowly fell asleep.

Wang Haoran settled Ning Xueluo in and also prepared to sleep.

However, as if suddenly realizing something, he shuddered.

“What if other female leads also recover their memories?!”

After careful consideration, he realized he had already encountered three female leads.

Ning Xueluo had recovered her memory about four days ago.

Liu Yunshuang and Xia Xinyan showed no changes.

These two weren’t a big concern; even if they regained their memories, Wang Haoran was confident he could manage them. But if the remaining female leads remembered and were determined to kill him…

Wang Haoran hugged Ning Xueluo tightly.

No fear! With Luoluo here, even Lin Ming’s immortal master would die!

The next day, after the housekeeper prepared breakfast, Butler Fu noticed that Wang Haoran, who was usually punctual, hadn’t come down yet, feeling puzzled.

As he wondered, Wang Haoran came down.

“Master…?!”

Butler Fu rarely showed such surprise because he saw a woman holding the master’s arm.

Why? When did she come?

Butler Fu’s mind started working.

Yesterday, the master came home alone and hadn’t gone out since.

That meant the master must have snuck her in during the night while he was asleep.

Seeing Ning Xueluo’s clothes, Butler Fu’s eyes widened again.

Aren’t those the master’s clothes? This… this…

Late at night, firewood and flames, too impatient, tearing off clothes…

No wonder the master wanted to avoid him…

Seeing Butler Fu, Wang Haoran greeted him briefly, and Ning Xueluo sweetly said, “Hello, Uncle Fu!”

Butler Fu was moved, realizing the master had introduced her to the family?!

Butler Fu wiped his eyes, murmuring to himself.

“Master, last night, young master brought a woman home for the first time!”

“Young master has finally grown up, you can rest in peace!”

As Wang Haoran sat down, he saw Ning Xueluo looking expectant, feeling a bad premonition. He quickly instructed Butler Fu.

“Uncle Fu, I have things to do today. Cancel my scheduled appointments!”

“Understood, Master.” Butler Fu responded and bowed before leaving.

As expected, the moment Butler Fu left, Ning Xueluo half-pouted, half-demanded they play the “blow and feed” game.

To hold onto this advantage, he had to agree!

Luckily, Butler Fu had left, or it would have been really awkward.

Meanwhile, Butler Fu, now mumbling to himself.

“Young master has already reached this stage… I need to go back and review what to do next…”

When Wang Haoran first took over the Wang family, Butler Fu changed his title to “Master” to show that Wang Haoran was the real head of the family, though he preferred calling him “Young Master.”

To ease the young master’s worries, Butler Fu had looked up many resources online, learning how to be a better butler.

One article titled “Flash Marriage Husband is the Richest Man in S City” caught his attention.

Upon reading it, he realized it was a story.

After finishing it, Butler Fu was excited.

In the story, the male protagonist was young, handsome, cold, domineering, and the richest man—just like his young master!

And the butler in the story was diligent, devoted, and assisted the young master in every aspect, making him look even more impressive while wooing women—exactly what Butler Fu aspired to be!

So Butler Fu immediately bookmarked the article, read it thoroughly, and saved it.

He learned a lot from it.

Unfortunately, the techniques for assisting the young master in wooing women hadn’t been used yet.

Previously, the young master said he wanted to handle Liu Yunshuang on his own, forbidding any interference from others. And now, he had already won over this new woman.

Butler Fu decided to re-read the article when he had time to understand what a butler should do and what precautions to take when the young master and young mistress were in love.

Half an hour later.

Butler Fu had finished the tasks Wang Haoran assigned and, with nothing else to do, was sipping tea while looking at his phone.

Butler Fu suddenly thought.

If the young master takes the young mistress shopping, there’s a good chance they’ll encounter snooty shop assistants who would make things difficult for her.

At that point, the young master would protect her with authority, call him to buy the store, let the young mistress take whatever she wants, and fire the shop assistant.

So, Butler Fu prepared himself, ready to act as soon as he received the young master’s call, ensuring the young master’s display was even more impressive.

Unfortunately, when Wang Haoran and Ning Xueluo returned with a car full of goods, Butler Fu hadn’t received a single call from Wang Haoran.
