Shen Jingyu lay down for a moment longer before finally heading to the bathroom to take a shower. When he emerged, he was enveloped in a chill. Su Xing had finally figured out how to wear the white dress and had already rushed downstairs to wait for him.
Shen Jingyu felt that it wasn't easy to stay together in this bedroom; it was too easy for things to heat up.
As the two of them stepped out of the villa, the evening glow had already spread across the sky. Not far away on the lawn, many people in various training outfits were moving things around. Shi Shaowen sat leisurely under a large umbrella, watching his computer.
Seeing Shen Jingyu and Su Xing appear from afar, he thought they made quite a picturesque scene. He immediately took out his phone and snapped a court-style photo of them, which he quickly sent to their group chat.
It was then that Shen Jingyu noticed he had hundreds of unread messages on his phone. Had a hacker infiltrated his phone? Wasn't that just asking for trouble? It seemed that being overly confident led to negligence.
"Tsk tsk, what a perfect couple! I wonder if your sister-in-law would be interested in coming to our country; I could introduce her to a prince! She looks like she belongs among our country's nobility," Shi Shaowen said without getting up to greet them. His status made him accustomed to such behavior, and besides, he and Jing Yu were close enough that there was no need for formality.
Su Xing smiled gently and said, "Now that you call me sister-in-law, are you sure introducing a prince won't cause trouble?"
Shi Shaowen raised an eyebrow at Shen Jingyu. "With him around, no trouble is too big."
A smile couldn't be hidden from Shen Jingyu's face. He hadn't expected Su Xing to accept her new identity so well.
"When are you going back home?" Shen Jingyu asked as he pulled Su Xing down onto the chair beside him and casually brought over a plate of fruit for her.
Shi Shaowen raised an eyebrow at Shen Jingyu. "You really know how to treat others! You used to be so aloof; now you’re serving someone else!"
"She's not just anyone," Shen Jingyu thought but refrained from saying anything overly sentimental in this situation; everyone present understood.
Shi Shaowen smirked. "I'm not doing this just for you; once you two go back home, I'll be leaving too." He suddenly felt nostalgic about the snacks from Hua Country.
Shen Jingyu raised an eyebrow and said, "I'll come over a few days before my wedding. I want to thank you properly."
"Tsk! How thoughtful! Duan Yu’s culinary skills are lacking; no chef here can replicate that flavor. It’s tough for me," Shi Shaowen lamented.
Su Xing hadn’t expected Xiao Jue to be such a foodie. When were she and Shen Jingyu planning to get married? He really dared to say anything!
Jing Yu had changed quite a bit, but it seemed only in front of his sister-in-law.
Shen Jingyu didn’t think so: "If nothing unexpected happens, it will always be like this in the future."
"Is there really any humanity left? How did you manage to make Luo Hao spend the whole day complaining at the computer?"
Shen Jingyu unconsciously rubbed his nose. "It's to train him!"
Writing reports is definitely not a pleasant task. I bet he’s been receiving quite a few calls from the domestic organization department.
You’re heading back too, right?
Shi Shaowen understood the situation well; things in Hua Country were about to get chaotic!
"Yeah, it’s getting late." Shen Jingyu felt a twinge of melancholy. There wouldn’t be many more leisurely days like this, especially with Su Xing by his side. Things would be different once he returned home!
"If you need anything, just let me know anytime. In this life, I’ve helped all my brothers as much as I can."
Xiao Jue’s position was crucial; he could still be quite influential at critical moments.
"For now, it’s not necessary. Not only are your reach limited, but the situation in the country is also quite chaotic."
"You really know a lot! Your reach is impressive!" Shi Shaowen remarked with a hint of meaning.
Listening to their conversation, Su Xing felt that Shen Jingyu's identity and situation seemed far from simple.
"Where's A Ye? Why hasn’t he come back yet?"
Shen Jingyu glanced around; there was no sign of him in the yard.
"He probably got caught up in something."
With the whole lamb and roasted pig being prepared, he should be back soon once he catches a whiff of the aroma!
As soon as Shi Shaowen finished speaking, Nan Gong Ye's voice echoed from afar.
"Cough, cough! I've been smelling burnt all day. Why are we still having barbecue for dinner?"
"Oh, look who finally decided to show up!"
"Sister-in-law, you look quite elegant today, very much like royalty!"
Nan Gong Ye immediately complimented Su Xing without treating her like an outsider at all.
Su Xing couldn’t help but feel amazed that Shen Jingyu had made such interesting friends.
"Thank you, A Ye. Where have you been working so hard?"
He looked disheveled and covered in dust.
"Don’t even mention it! That Lawrence is ruthless! The forest burned down; we’re looking at losses in this range!" He held up three fingers.
Seeing him encouraging her, Su Xing guessed, "Three hundred million?"
"It’s three hundred billion! And that’s a conservative estimate!"
Just saying it made Nan Gong Ye wince at the thought of such losses.
Su Xing was shocked as well; how many zeros was that? What a huge asset!
Shen Jingyu responded with a smirk, even teasing Nan Gong Ye a bit: "Are you envious of his dirty money?"
"Who has a grudge against money?" Nan Gong Ye looked at Shen Jingyu with a hint of annoyance. "I'm not even causing trouble for you back in the country, so stop staring at me!"
Ever since I became friends with you, I've lost so much money!
As a proper prince of the underworld, he was almost on the verge of turning over a new leaf, pushing his entire family towards legitimacy! How frustrating!
Shen Jingyu snorted coldly. "Don't think I don't know how much help Shao Wen has given you!"
"Hey, we can say it openly—I'm legal on his side! So you have no say in it!"
Nan Gong Ye was the typical type who took advantage and then acted innocent.
However, he would eventually have to return to the country; it all depended on whether his sister-in-law could assimilate him!
I heard your sister-in-law runs a bar too? She must be quite capable, right?!
In truth, Nan Gong Ye was just trying to steer the conversation towards Su Xing to avoid leaving her out among the group of men.
Su Xing didn't mind; she raised an eyebrow at him. "I never cross the line into illegal activities."
Besides, this bar is about to close down soon.
Actually, Su Xing felt quite reluctant. After all, she had invested so much effort there.
Hearing this, Nan Gong Ye suddenly became serious. "Your sister-in-law should try to close that bar as soon as possible."
Shen Jingyu's brows furrowed instantly. "Have they made any moves?"
Nan Gong Ye finally revealed the key point: "The fire didn't stop them; they managed to move out ten trucks of goods. I've got people watching, and one is almost at Hua Country's border."
Your people reported back home; Rong Xigu should be preparing for a mission.
Shen Jingyu shook his head lightly. "Things might not be that simple."
He took out his phone and sent a message to Rong Xigu: "It's best not to act rashly for now."
A quick reply came back: "Understood, we're keeping an eye on it."
They were using a special system's chat interface. Su Xing glanced over and thought that this man's password seemed unusually complex.
So what exactly is he? A soldier with a prince of the underworld as a brother? What does his future hold?
Watching Shen Jingyu calmly put away his phone, the group resumed their preparations for dinner as if nothing had happened.
A large gathering of brothers surrounded five tables, but only Su Xing, being the sole woman present, received the highest level of treatment. She was taken care of without any discomfort at all.
