Chapter 115: Chapter 115: Fiery Passion
Xiao Jihan slowly opened his mouth and said, "The surname Xie should be from the Xie Family in Frost State."
"Moreover, with such financial resources and exceptional appearance and temperament, he is very likely the rumored Young Master Xie."
"The Xie Family is a Gate阀 Family, the pinnacle of the Noble Family, with wealth beyond measure, so using Crystal Stones as a curtain is not surprising."
Being from the Xiao Family, Xiao Jihan had some understanding of the Xie Family in Frost State, though not much.
"There is very little information about Young Master Xie, and no one has seen his true appearance."
Regarding this point, Mei Qingchen was also aware, "It is rumored that Young Master Xie has always been frail and is recuperating in the villa."
"Master Xie has kept the entire Xie Family’s information sealed from the outside, and no one knows any detailed information about this Young Master Xie."
"Even our Mei Family couldn’t find anything."
"However, there are also rumors that this Young Master Xie died long ago, but my father says Young Master Xie is still alive."
"So he very likely is Young Master Xie."
Xiao Jihan said, "Did you get a clear look at his strength just now?"
Mei Qingchen’s expression tightened, "He is very strong, so I couldn’t see his real strength."
Xiao Jihan said, "With him around, the wife will be safer."
So regardless of what he thought, for the sake of the wife, they both needed to accept Xie Guixue’s presence.
Otherwise, the wife might have been in trouble last time.
He dared not imagine the scene from that day.
Hua Linye listened to the words of Xiao Jihan and Mei Qingchen and felt for the first time that he was unaware of these matters.
A deep sense of helpless inferiority overwhelmed him.
He had been kept in a remote courtyard of the Xu Family since childhood, and his mother, who was the Family Head, did not allow him to learn anything.
His mother bore the surname Xu, and all her other sons bore the surname Xu, except he was not allowed to share it.
He had to take his father’s surname, Hua.
Had it not been for her initial infatuation with the Xu Family’s gentleman, Xu Heping, and the Xu Family’s reluctance leading to his substitute marriage, he would not have been able to leave the Xu Family to survive.
Moreover, the wife had already relieved more than half of his Fire Poison, and his body seemed to be getting better.
He wanted to do something for the wife, but he had no familial background or financial resources, and even his knowledge was limited.
An intense burning sensation filled Hua Linye’s chest.
His fox-like eyes flickered.
Suddenly, something clicked in Hua Linye’s mind.
Right, he could embroider and make clothes.
His embroidery and clothes were unique, and even the Xu Family didn’t fully grasp these skills.
He could make all sorts of clothes for the wife.
As for what his father had asked him to promise, he couldn’t follow his father’s wishes.
If he continued to be useless, he might not even be qualified to stay by the wife’s side.
...
Su Muyao was naturally unaware of Hua Linye’s thoughts. At this moment, she was helping Xie Guixue arrange the room.
However, Xie Guixue stopped her, "Wife, there’s no need for you to bother. I’ll handle it."
Su Muyao watched Xie Guixue carefully arrange the room and thought about how, in his Oasis, everyone served him.
These things were things he didn’t need to do at all.
"When you’re at your own house, you don’t need to do these things."
Xie Guixue’s voice was gentle and soft, "Wife, I know how to do these; it’s something every beast learns from a young age."
Although his mother was very fond of him and always wanted to protect him, she was very strict about his health and didn’t let him develop feelings.
But he was needed to inherit the family business, and knowing that he would have a wife someday, he learned many courses early on, including how to be a good beast husband.
"Let me take care of you in the future."
He hoped to make the room more inviting so that his wife would stay with him more often.
He actually wanted to arrange the wife’s room as well, but when she said it was fine, he didn’t insist.
Su Muyao looked at Xie Guixue’s cool and aloof eyes and found it hard to imagine him taking care of someone.
In his previous Oasis Villa, his health was poor, and he was recuperating.
Many matters were handled by Xie Yi’s subordinate team.
Now that he followed her back, he didn’t bring Xie Yi, considering the situation at home and the limited number of rooms.
If they needed to build more rooms, it would be quite troublesome and require many resources.
"Besides, wife, everything I have is yours."
"If you need money, you can use the Jade Token at any Money Shop to withdraw Crystal Coins as you wish."
Xie Guixue gave her a Jade Token, representing his identity, which could be used at the Money Shop to draw Crystal Coins freely.
The Xie Family had their own Money Shop.
So she could use it freely.
But Su Muyao didn’t want to be a freeloader.
She had her own aspirations, her own career ambition, and wanted to accomplish something on her own.
Su Muyao looked at Xie Guixue and said seriously, "It’s not that I don’t want to use your Crystal Coins."
"I will use them when I need them, but right now I have things I want to accomplish."
"I want to have my own career; I want to open a restaurant chain across the entire Beast World Continent."
She wanted to establish her own brand and wanted to open many workshops to spread the knowledge of various grains and crops.
Moreover, she wanted to create granary areas to accumulate enough resources.
Rather than always being called an incompetent fool.
In the Beast Emperor City, the harsh words people said about her still echoed in her ears.
One day she would prove herself.
If people from the Xie Family knew she was Xie Guixue’s wife, who knows what they would think.
To earn respect, she had to become stronger herself.
Xie Guixue looked at Su Muyao at that moment, thinking that the purity and brilliance in her charming eyes radiated with a bright and dazzling light.
So captivating it was awe-inspiring.
"Okay, whatever you want to do, I support you."
"But keep the Jade Token with you."
"Everything I have is yours; in the future, the Xie Family will be your support as well, I won’t allow anyone to harm you."
He would protect her well.
Su Muyao couldn’t help but smile when she looked at Xie Guixue.
Being with him made her very happy and relaxed.
"I will also become strong and protect you."
On the Beast World Continent, it’s usually the beast protecting the she-beast; people think it’s only natural.
But she felt she could also become strong and protect her Beast Husband.
These days she could cultivate on her own, absorbing the Spiritual Energy in the air to enhance her superpower.
In the future, using the superpower wouldn’t deplete her strength, and she would help him recuperate.
Xie Guixue’s heart moved; he gently embraced her, tenderly stroking her hair.
Su Muyao knew Xie Guixue wasn’t good with words but loved holding her closely.
...
That night, as everyone had dinner, the atmosphere became even more nuanced.
Su Muyao pretended not to notice and kept her head down, focusing on her bowl of food.
Everyone had put food on her plate, and it was filled to the brim.
She could only eat in silence.
After dinner, naturally someone else would clean up.
Wen Nanxi looked at her with gentle, captivating eyes filled with a dark allure.
As Su Muyao met that gaze, her heartstrings trembled.
Uncontrolled, her heart raced.
Su Muyao almost fled back to her room to wash up and bathe.
Of course, she took her time, not deliberately procrastinating, but just thinking about a possibly intimate scene made her face hot.
What should she do?
Her heart was pounding.
When Wen Nanxi finished washing up and entered the room, locking the door, he went to the side of the tub.
Fortunately, her clothes were on the rack next to the tub, providing some cover.
Wen Nanxi softly asked, "Does the wife need help with bathing?"
