Seeing the expectation in Xu Xiwang's eyes, Liu Qingyan's heart softened.
She knew that her son had grown up.
He is no longer the baby who needed his protection.
"you...."
She was about to say something when a scene flashed before her eyes: Xu Yunfan had burned his primordial spirit and risked his life for her.
Why should I stop my son?
This might be very unfair to him.
"I... okay, when you leave, Mom will give you something."
Liu Qingyan ultimately chose to compromise, gently stroking Xu Xiwang's aged cheek.
"Mom, can you push me outside for a walk? I want to explore Yanjing."
Xu Xiwang said softly.
"Okay, Mom will go with you!"
Liu Qingyan nodded, helped Xu Xiwang slowly stand up, and walked towards the courtyard.
Xu Xiwang felt her mother's warm embrace, her eyes slightly closed, and a happy smile appeared on her lips.
"During your absence, the girls in Yanjing have been in an uproar."
"What?"
Xu Xiwang blinked in confusion, her eyes sparkling with curiosity.
"After you left, Li Kexin from the Li family came looking for you every few days."
"Su Yueyao, who stayed at our house, couldn't eat or drink and kept talking about you."
Where is Lin Qingxue?
Xu Xiwang was silent for a moment before asking.
"She's still your fiancée on the surface, and she comes to the family every few days to pay her respects. Her grandfather, Lin Yunshan, comes often and keeps urging me to get your marriage arranged, but I told him it's up to him."
Xu Xiwang fell silent, a hint of bitterness in his eyes.
Caught between so many women, how should I choose?
I don't like Lin Qingxue at all!
Upon arriving at the front courtyard, one would find that the Xu family compound was already occupied by people.
"Make way, make way."
"I've come looking for hope."
"Me too, me too, I'm his lapdog."
"Excuse me, let me in."
......
Many reporters also surrounded the Xu family compound, eager to get in and interview Xu Xiwang.
After all, Xu Xiwang is a celebrity now.
Xu Xiwang killed two Transcendent Realm monsters!
To break through to the Transcendent Realm in less than three months of cultivation—what incredible talent!
Moreover, the news of Xu Xiwang's injury and aging has already spread, and everyone wants to grab the headline.
Many women from prominent families in Yanjing also gathered at the Xu family's gate, hoping to get to know Xu Xiwang, since Xu Xiwang's reputation for being devoted to love was known throughout Yanjing.
If any woman could marry Xu Xiwang, it would be a great honor, as she would gain wealth and status.
These people naturally tried every possible way to get close to Xu Xiwang.
A woman appeared at the gate of the Xu family's residence, attracting envious, jealous, and hateful glances from many other women.
She wore a white dress, her skin was as smooth as jade, and her eyebrows were as dark as distant mountains. She was so beautiful that she seemed untouched by worldly affairs. Every frown and smile touched people's souls, as if she wanted to steal everyone's hearts.
"Which family's young lady is this?"
"So beautiful..."
Many men looked at her with eyes full of love.
"Don't even think about it, this is Xu Xiwang's fiancée, Lin Qingxue!"
"Is she Lin Qingxue, the one Xu Xiwang proposed to 249 times?"
"She's really beautiful..."
Lin Qingxue stepped out of the luxurious Rolls-Royce and ran quickly toward the Xu family compound.
At that moment, she disregarded everything and rushed towards the door, shouting, "Where is hope! Where is hope! What happened to hope!"
The guards of the Xu family mansion immediately blocked Lin Qingxue's way.
"Miss Lin, no one is allowed to enter the Xu family compound at this time!"
"Let me in, I am Hope's fiancée!"
The guards resolutely refused to let them pass.
A large number of reporters had gathered outside the Xu family mansion and were already writing headlines.
What love and hate among the wealthy?
What rich young master's one-night stand turns his hair white!
Shocking! The eldest son of the Xu family cheated on his wife with another woman, and his fiancée came to his door demanding an explanation!
It's as outrageous as can be!
"Let Miss Lin in. She is Xiwang's fiancée, in case Xiwang wants to see her."
Su Yueyao spoke to the guards at the door.
The guard hesitated for a moment, but finally stepped back and made way for Lin Qingxue to pass.
What are your hopes?
Lin Qingxue looked anxiously at Su Yueyao and asked.
"Young Master Han, you have brought us hope. Please tell Miss Lin what has happened."
Su Yueyao looked sadly at Han Yijian beside her and said.
"We were attacked simultaneously by two Transcendent Realm monsters in South Sea City. Hopefully, we managed to break through using some secret technique. Although we killed both monsters, we consumed too much of our life force."
"What are your hopes now?"
Lin Qingxue looked anxiously at Han Yijian beside her and asked.
"Now, the only hope is..."
Han Yijian hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.
"I hope I'm still alive and well, cough cough."
Everyone looked over at the sound and saw Xu Xiwang slowly walking over, supported by Liu Qingyan.
Looking at the face she once loathed, Lin Qingxue's eyes were filled with guilt.
She quickly walked towards Xu Xiwang, trying to take his hand, but Xu Xiwang dodged her.
"I hope so."
Even though she was somewhat prepared, she was still shocked by Xu Xiwang's aged appearance!
