Chapter 97 [VIP]

Since Zhao Tianhe intended to hand Jiannan over to Xiao Chuan, those who showed goodwill to Xiao Chuan were no longer wealthy households with little influence, but rather powerful and influential families.

However, their ways of showing goodwill were all quite similar.

Send money and women.

Not to mention that the Yu family wanted to send a concubine's daughter who looked similar to her and was younger to Xiao Chuan.

Other families all wanted to send women into the Xiao family's backyard.

Xiao Chuan has three children under his name, but none of them are actually his biological children. This is enough to excite them, and they even think that she, who cannot have children, should take the initiative to find women for Xiao Chuan.

Those who previously gave women as gifts still had some self-respect; they hinted that Xiao Chuan wouldn't accept them and couldn't force him to.

Now that the world is in chaos, they need a powerful backer, so they're thinking of sending women to them again.

“A few days ago, a few elderly women rushed up to me and pretended to be alive. I thought your mother had come back to life.”

Mi Yao is not the type to keep quiet when she's wronged.

He immediately explained that he hadn't been in the city during that time, and that those families who had been causing her trouble...

Xiao Chuan was busy in the days leading up to the Lunar New Year, and she wasn't much better off.

The temporary shelters outside the city were constantly taking in refugees, and the supplies distributed to the previous batch of people who had been taken in from various counties also needed to be calculated and ensured to be delivered.

Fortunately, she could hand over the shop to Shuanghua and Yuxiu, and the Tzu Chi Hospital to Yan Yun and the others, which gave her a chance to catch her breath.

Who would have thought that someone would also ruin this brief respite?

That day, when she returned to the mansion, she was first stopped by her carriage. When she lifted the curtain, an old woman who was blocking the entrance of the Xiao mansion immediately began to lecture her.

"As a married woman, you still fool around outside every day and are never home. No wonder your family doesn't recognize you. If a woman like you were in our Wu family, she should be taken home and hanged to avoid bringing shame upon us!"

The old woman was dressed in bright red, wearing a bright red jacket, and her half-white hair was adorned with gold hairpins and jewels.

It's obvious that Xiao Chuan missed the chance to rob the rich and help the poor at her house.

After the old woman finished speaking, she saw that Mi Yao did not speak and looked tired and sleepy. She thought that Mi Yao was afraid and put on a smug look.

Unexpectedly, Mi Yao stepped forward and slapped her.

With a snap, the surroundings became so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Force is an interaction. After hitting her, Mi Yao's palm felt numb and painful. She shook her hand and said, "Nonsense."

In the past, all she had to do was read storybooks, so she had extra energy to argue with people. Now, she has a lot of things to do and not enough energy, so she doesn't have the leisure to argue with people.

"Just throw them out, don't kill them."

After giving Qi Niang some instructions, Mi Yao left first.

The old woman, after regaining her senses, screamed and cried, never expecting that Mi Yao would dare to hit her, making her lose all face.

"How dare you hit me! Do you know who I am? Your Yu family isn't even worthy to carry the shoes of my Jin family! What are you all standing there for? Grab her!"

The old woman brought a large group of people, but no matter how many she brought, they were no match for the Xiao family's retainers.

Because Mi Yao had instructed that she shouldn't be beaten to death, Qi Niang, seeing that the old woman was frail and old, simply stuffed her mouth with the smelly socks of her servants and beat up most of the people around her.

That very night, Mi Yao had a dream about Xiao Chua.

After the dream, she got up very early and had Pu Qing list out the addresses of all the families she had been planning to send women to Xiao Chuan. She then led her people to each of these families to throw rotten eggs at them.

Those who resist should be attacked directly.

She had traveled all over Jiannan, and these people were really strange. When she was giving them women, they all tried to lecture her and treat her like an elder. When she became arrogant, they all became cowards.

Not a single one dared to come knocking on our door.

When Mi Yao told Xiao Chuan about her battle record, she certainly didn't say how fierce she was. She only talked about being bullied, and spread out her hands to recall how painful it was to hit someone.

Xiao Chuan held Mi Yao's fair hand and blew on it for a long time. If Mi Yao hadn't found it disgusting, he would have been willing to lick her wounds to heal them.

Mi Yao's palms itched from his blowing, and she impatiently pulled her hand away: "Is that all you've got?"

"I'll stay with you a little longer, then I'll go settle accounts with them and make sure they don't dare bother you again."

Hearing that she had been wronged, he knew he should immediately set out to seek justice for her after several days.

But right now he was still immersed in the sweetness of her willingness to live a good life with him, as if he had fallen into a honey pot, feeling sticky all over, unable to leave the bed or her.

“Huhu, thank you for your hard work. I know you hate these things the most, but to be honest, I’m glad you’re protecting me like this. I’m yours, and no one else should covet me.”

Xiao Chuan was afraid that Mi Yao would notice his barely suppressed smile and then get angry with him, so he simply told her what he was happy about.

His words were acceptable at first, but the last sentence made Mi Yao unable to resist punching him in the chest.

However, he did not refute it.

Her tacit agreement made Xiao Chuan's lips curl into an even wider smile.

"It's done. What's wrong? Why are you smiling like an idiot?"

Mi Yao said irritably, but when she saw Xiao Chuan's smiling face, she couldn't help but laugh too.

I don't know what they're laughing about.

After laughing enough, the emotion in her eyes changed without her realizing it. Their lips touched. Mi Yao tried to be the more assertive one between them.

Her initiative, however, did not soften Xiao Chua's resolve; it only made his excited body tremble slightly, and the presence of his lips and teeth became more intense and obvious, like a masculine dog.

She successfully straddled Xiao Chuan and looked down at him, but because Xiao Chuan's waist strength was too prominent, Mi Yao realized that she could not create the atmosphere she wanted, so she bit his lip hard.

Seeing that he stopped because of the pain, she sat up high, pressing her palms against his chest.

Mi Yao narrowed her hazy almond-shaped eyes slightly and put on a fierce look: "Xiao Chuan, if you ever dare to betray me, I will definitely take your life."

The original owner hated Xiao Chuan for only venting his anger on innocent children, but she was different; she would only target the real person.

“If we hadn’t talked about feelings, you would have enjoyed just as much. You provoked me by acting like a pitiful, unwanted stray dog ​​begging for my pity. You brought this trouble upon yourself, so you should bear the consequences.”

Seeing Xiao Chua open his mouth to speak, Mi Yao pinched his chin. "I'm a man of my word. You don't need to feel that I'm working hard in Yizhou. I'm not doing this for you. I'm accumulating my energy so that I won't be without anyone to deal with traitors."

She is a rational person. She can indulge herself in responding to Xiao Chuan and building a bond with him, but that doesn't mean she will completely trust him.

She didn't even trust herself. She liked Xiao Chu's body and his passionate, impulsive feelings, but what if she fell for someone else one day?

Feelings are unpredictable, so in order to enjoy love, she was prepared to participate in the power struggle. When Xiao Chuan gained enough power, her position wouldn't be too bad.

After all, she needed to ensure that after dealing with the traitors, she would still have enough ability to stand on her own in the chaotic world.

Thinking about it, she couldn't help but become excited, just like Xiao Chuan beneath her. She was somewhat looking forward to Xiao Chuan pushing her to that point, and then she would fight for power and profit, carving a bloody path through the chaos of the world.

Xiao Chuan watched as Mi Yao's deliberately arrogant expression transformed into one filled with ambition.

This ambition was clearly none of his business. He gritted his teeth and wrapped his arms around her waist: "You can still be distracted when you're hurling threats at me. If I get in your way in the future, will you label me a traitor so you can get rid of me?"

Although her thoughts had indeed wandered to the extent Xiao Chuan described, it was really too hurtful to speak such blunt truths in the atmosphere of romance.

Mi Yao widened her eyes and feigned innocence, saying coquettishly, "Hu Hu is not that bad. Hu Hu would never put labels on people. Hu Hu only wants Xiao Lang to be devoted to Hu Hu and would never want to get rid of Xiao Lang."

As she spoke, Mi Yao extended her finger and playfully tapped Xiao Chu's nose.

Xiao Chuan caught her fingertips and looked into her charming and lovely eyes, which showed no sign of shyness.

She can say such deliberately cheesy things so naturally. If she wants to coax him in the future, won't she have to coax him into becoming a placenta?

Feeling his body tremble at Mi Yao's soft, seductive voice, unable to resist her every move, Xiao Chuan felt useless as he picked Mi Yao up by the waist and made her sit on his lap.

"If I betray you, I believe you can kill me. As for you, try your best to coax me; with your abilities, you should be able to do so."

Mi Yao was stunned when she realized that Xiao Chuan meant that if she betrayed him in the future, she could escape punishment simply by coaxing him. She never expected that such a good thing could exist in the world.

If that's the case, wouldn't it be a sign that she doesn't trust her own abilities if she doesn't betray him a few times?

Mi Yao was distracted by Xiao Chuan's words, but Xiao Chuan didn't disturb her. He simply peeled off her clothes one by one, making her feel as if she were riding a mad horse that had lost its mind and was out of control.

"You...you're insane!"

Mi Yao was so jostled around that she couldn't even curse properly. She clung tightly to Xiao Chua, afraid he would throw her off.

God knows there's a risk of being thrown off the bed during this kind of exercise.

To better exert force, Xiao Chuan straightened his back and sat up like Mi Yao, facing her. In this position, Xiao Chuan's eyes held not only desire but also a hint of ferocity.

After being tormented by him so early in the morning, Mi Yao couldn't help but touch the bed while lying down and catching her breath. Even after it was over, she could still feel the bed shaking.

That scoundrel has such sweet words, saying he can forgive her betrayal if she's coaxed.

In fact, just thinking about it made him want to fuck her to death in bed.

"You stingy person!"

Having regained some strength, Mi Yao began to provoke Xiao Chua.

"It's good that Hu Hu knows."

Compared to her clenched teeth, Xiao Chuan's lips curled up, and he buried his head in her lips, taking a deep breath. He looked at her and said, "A stray dog ​​like me can win over an owner by playing the victim. Once I do, I will only recognize that one owner for life. If my owner abandons me or touches other animals, I will become a mad dog and bite anyone I see!"

After saying that, he pried open Mi Yao's tightly clenched teeth, bared his own teeth, and made a fierce expression.

Mi Yao: ...

她这才刚开始准备爱他，就由衷地想揍他一顿是怎么回事。
