Chapter 41: Xiaoxiao’s Anticipation

Everyone planned to return to S City in five days, so the remaining time was spent enjoying themselves.

Wang Haoran stayed in Yunlai Village, while Old Mo and the other bodyguards stayed at their residence in Baichui Town.

After Old Mo learned that the mistress was a Hua Jin expert, he was completely at ease.

With a Hua Jin expert personally protecting the master, what was there to worry about safety?

Since they would just be a burden, they decided not to be third wheels and followed Wang Haoran’s orders to enjoy themselves around Baichui Town.

As for Wang Haoran, he spent the following days constantly with Luoluo and the others.

Regarding Wang Yuxiao, after being knocked out by Luoluo the first time, she woke up the next morning.

Unfortunately, she hadn’t recovered her memories.

Upon waking, she resumed cursing and insulting Wang Haoran, which annoyed the just-awake Luoluo, who delivered another hand chop to the back of her neck.

The “crack” sound made Wang Haoran a bit worried.

Don’t break her! If she doesn’t recover, we’ll find another way!

By dusk, Wang Yuxiao woke up again.

This time, she didn’t curse but looked pitifully at Wang Haoran with tear-filled eyes.

Upon questioning, it was confirmed she had recovered her memory.

After that, Wang Haoran, Luoluo, Xia Xinyan, Liu Yunshuang, and Wang Yuxiao spent their time eating, drinking, playing, and taking photos.

At night in Yunlai Village, Wang Haoran naturally did what needed to be done with Xia Xinyan, Liu Yunshuang, and Wang Yuxiao.

On the first night, Luoluo and the bound Wang Yuxiao shared a room, while Wang Haoran shared a room with Xia Xinyan and Liu Yunshuang.

On the second night, Luoluo, Wang Yuxiao, and Liu Yunshuang shared a room, while Wang Haoran shared a room with Xia Xinyan.

On the third night, Luoluo, Wang Yuxiao, and Xia Xinyan shared a room, while Wang Haoran shared a room with Liu Yunshuang.

On the fourth night, Luoluo, Xia Xinyan, and Liu Yunshuang shared a room, while Wang Haoran shared a room with Wang Yuxiao.

Everyone was very considerate.

Wang Haoran couldn’t help but recall the unforgettable night of the fourth day.

Xiaoxiao, who liked special challenges, hoped to feel gentleness and care during the first game.

So Wang Haoran opted for the gentle mode instead of the wild mode.

After the game, Xiaoxiao took the proof of being a novice player, folded it neatly, placed it by the pillow, and then leaned on Wang Haoran’s chest, the veteran player, whispering softly.

“Husband, do you like it? We’re together again… this time we can be together forever…”

Seeing her affection score at 101, Wang Haoran curiously asked.

“When will you go back to Blood Butterfly?”

Xiaoxiao answered straightforwardly.

“I won’t go back. I’ll find a time to step down and hand over. Some people are eager for me not to return anyway.”

“Aren’t you planning to expand Blood Butterfly?”

“That was my dad’s dream, not mine. Now I think, being with you, husband, is the best comfort for my dad.”

“Think about it, it’s so chaotic there, with groups like Seven Kill Hall, Heaven’s Sect, Death God Society fighting all the time. Being an assassin is so dangerous. If I die, my dad’s line ends.”

“But being with you, husband, having ten or eight kids, my dad’s bloodline continues. He’d be so happy he’d jump up and praise my filial piety!”

“Just as well we both have the surname Wang, no worries about the kids’ surname.”

At this point, Xiaoxiao perked up, looking at Wang Haoran’s face.

“Husband, I remember your dad also died… passed away early…”

“How about… we try hard, and by next year, we can bring our child to honor him?”

Hearing this, Wang Haoran felt moved.

“Of course we can!”

On the fifth day, during the day, everyone explored the scenery on a mountain in Yunlai Village, taking photos, wading in the water, having a picnic, and so on.

By evening, they returned to their lodging, where Yun Ling’er was already waiting.

These days, Yun Ling’er was busy, constantly discussing the Love Gu with her grandmother. She only joined them for dinner each evening.

Seeing them return, Yun Ling’er snorted and silently walked into the kitchen.

After putting down their things, Luoluo and Liu Yunshuang followed her in.

Once everything was ready, everyone gathered around the table for dinner.

Except for Yun Ling’er, everyone was chatting and laughing.

As they were about to finish, Yun Ling’er suddenly spoke.

“You’re leaving tomorrow?”

“Yes,” Luoluo answered.

“Sister Ling’er, do you want to come with us?”

“No, I have many things to do here.”

She glanced at Wang Haoran, then looked at Luoluo disdainfully, sneering.

“I’m not like you. I just use this scoundrel as a tool to complete the Love Gu.”

“Of course, if I feel like it, when I’m free, maybe I’ll go and favor him.”

Finished eating and wiping his mouth, Wang Haoran was speechless but didn’t argue.

After a few more bites, Yun Ling’er put down her chopsticks, said, “I’m full,” and walked out of the house.

“…”

The others looked at Wang Haoran.

Xia Xinyan, Liu Yunshuang, and Wang Yuxiao all had expressions saying, “I don’t know what’s going on, but I can tell Ling’er is upset, Haoran, go and comfort her!”

Even Luoluo spoke up.

“Haoran, go quickly, don’t let Sister Ling’er run off!”

“Alright—”

Wang Haoran agreed, standing and walking outside.

At first glance, he saw Yun Ling’er standing in the moonlight.

Wang Haoran walked over and hugged her from behind.

“Ling’er.”

As his footsteps echoed, Yun Ling’er’s body trembled slightly.

Now, wrapped in his warmth, she felt her whole body stiffen.

“Wha… what is it…”

Wang Haoran lowered his head and whispered in her ear, “Come back with me!”

“No, I still have things to do in the village.”

“Stop lying. Your grandmother told me. She said you’ve been reading at her place these past few days, often daydreaming, looking troubled.”

“…” Yun Ling’er was silent for a moment, then refused again.

“You already have Xiaoyan and the others. I don’t need to join the fun. They love you so much; you don’t need me there, right?”

“But I want you to be there.”

“You want me, I don’t want to.”

“I love you!”

“…” Hearing this, Yun Ling’er was quiet for a moment, then her voice grew colder.

“So what? Is your love worth anything?”

“Just because you love me, do I have to go with you?”

“Or do you think this is charity?”

“Do you think hearing this makes me happy?”

Yun Ling’er forcefully broke free from Wang Haoran’s embrace, turning to face him resolutely.

“Unfortunately, I don’t love you!!!”
