I looked at Su Xiaoniu, wanting to ask for her consent, but she just lay down on the bed, as if to say, "You decide for yourself."

Late at night, I had a midnight snack with Su Xiaoniu in the room and was about to go to sleep when Zhao Xi came and knocked on the door. When I opened the door, I found that she was only wearing a thin lace pajamas, her hair was disheveled, her breasts were half exposed, and a mature and charming female body was placed in front of me.

I swallowed hard when I saw it, especially when I saw the bulge in her chest, I couldn't contain my excitement... But I am a rational man, so I quickly looked away.

"Are you guys...still awake?"

"Just about to go to bed! What do you want from me?"

After closing the door, Zhao Xi walked into the room, sat on the sofa, and drank a sip of tea before saying, "I was so happy during the day that I forgot about the important things. I just remembered it, so I came over to disturb you..."

Su Xiaoniu was lying on the bed with her arms and legs spread out, covered with a quilt, looking "uninterested".

I smiled wryly and asked, "What's the matter?"

The previously charming blush on Zhao Xi's face gradually dimmed. She said, "Xu Fei, you are the only man I trust in this world, and only you can help me with this."

I was suddenly a little flattered and asked hurriedly, "What's wrong? What happened?"

Zhao Xi said with a sad face, "Huo Liang...is back."

I said "Oh" and then what?

"You just said 'Oh'? You're not surprised at all?"

"It's something expected. What's so surprising about it? When Yu Jie brought me to your house at noon, I saw that Old Liu, and I also heard the conversation between you. But why did Huo Liang suddenly come back to see you?" I asked curiously.

"What other purpose could he have? Of course, he discovered that the Candle Dragon Blood he took from me back then wasn't an heirloom of my Zhao family, and that its effects wouldn't last long. Over the years, there's probably no Candle Dragon Blood left in him anymore, and he's pretty much like a normal person." Zhao Xi glanced at me and said, "Huo Liang's return this time is most likely for this. You also know that I gave you the authentic Candle Dragon Blood Jade of my Zhao family back then, so I'm here to remind you not to let Huo Liang know that the Candle Dragon Jade is in your possession, otherwise you'll be innocently implicated again."

Candle Dragon Jade? I broke out in a cold sweat. Damn it! The Candle Dragon Jade Zhao Xi gave me, the blood jade essence within it had long since merged with my body and soul when we went to Tianmen Mountain. Now, the Candle Dragon Jade is just an ordinary stone. Of course, I won't tell Zhao Xi about this, or I don't know if she'll beat me to death!

I just said to her, "If he really wants it, I'll give it to him."

"No!" Zhao Xi stopped me in fear, "You can't give the Candle Dragon Jade to a man like Huo Liang. It will kill many innocent people. If you really give it to him, you will become an indirect murderer! What's more, are you going to give away something I gave you without any regrets?"

I scratched my head and smiled, "Zhao Xi, it's not what you think. In fact, I have already taken the Candle Dragon Jade..." "Hmm" Su Xiaoniu's panting sound came from the other side. I looked back and saw that she had turned over and curled up into a ball. She didn't even notice that the quilt had fallen to the ground. She must have fallen asleep.

I shook my head, feeling both amused and helpless, and went over to pick up the quilt that had fallen on the ground and covered her with it.

Behind me, I heard Zhao Xi's soft and itchy voice. She came close to my ear, wrapped her hands around my waist, and whispered in my ear: "It seems that fate has played a joke on us. This joke has made us lose our tenderness to each other."

"Zhao Xi, don't be like this..."

"Xu Fei, don't worry. Since you've made your choice, I won't make it difficult for you. Although I'm not quite sure why you can't say love to each other, I can see that she loves you very much. You're not young anymore. Find a time to take her to a bridal shop. I'll help you with all the wedding matters and expenses. - Oh, and Ning Xue, I'll also ask her to come and attend your wedding..."

Before she could finish, I quickly shook my head and said, "Wedding? Zhao Xi, you're thinking a little too far, aren't you? I can hardly keep up with your train of thought."
