Chapter 233: Debt of Gratitude

Ash's smile became strange, "Where in this world is there a free lunch? If you want to borrow money from certain forces, first you have to prove your own value, don't you?"

Su Su Xiran nodded. She didn't think Ash was wrong; after all, in China, social resources are always controlled by those in power, which is an unchanging iron law.

However, she hesitated again, "But, wouldn't that make you owe a debt of gratitude?"

"Debts of gratitude are hard to repay, but in this world, who can really owe whom? In the end, they just cancel each other out!"

Ash touched his nose and laughed, "My favor is more precious than gold; Sister Sister Xixi, you've hit the jackpot."

He wasn't just bragging; he had once beheaded an extraordinary powerhouse at the Martial Venerable level. If you really counted it,

that was a life, so it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it was precious.

"Hmph! So that means I have to thank you, then!" Su Su Xiran gave a light hmph and scolded with a smile.

"Pah! Shameless!" Su Su Xiran's pretty face flushed, and she scolded coquettishly, but there was a hint of anticipation in her eyes.

"Haha, Sister Sister Xixi, are you shy? Then I'll take it that you agreed." Ash said with a wicked smile.

The two teased each other for a bit, and Su Su Xiran's expression returned to normal as she held Ash's arm and continued toward the bank.

After arriving at the bank and handling the loan business, Ash paid three million.

This level of expense was naturally a drop in the bucket for him.

After he handed the card to the counter clerk, he was informed that the card could not be used for the time being and that he needed to apply for a VIP credit card.

This type of credit card could be overdrawn up to fifty million. Although Ash was a bit surprised, he wasn't really shocked.

This bank was the largest private bank in Yuehai City, possessing the world's top facilities and management,

and it also had many internationally renowned experts sitting in.

Applying for a VIP card was a very normal thing.

Ash came out of the bank and took Su Su Xiran straight home.

On the way, Ash suddenly asked, "Sister Sister Xixi, do you know how my mother's health is?"

Su Su Xiran was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said:

"I heard your mother mention it occasionally a while ago, saying she had caught a cold recently and wasn't feeling well. As for the specific situation,

I'm not clear. However, I think nothing should happen; after all, your mother's physical fitness is very good!"

"En, I hope so."

Ash felt a slight tightness in his heart, thinking to himself that he had been too busy with things lately and hadn't managed to go back,

otherwise he wouldn't have been unaware that his mother wasn't feeling well. 0

"By the way, why did you suddenly start caring about your mother?" Su Su Xiran couldn't help but ask.

"Uh... I..."

Ash hesitated for a moment, then shrugged and said, "I was just asking casually.

By the way, I heard your mother's life is quite hard; has she asked you for money?"

"My mother did mention it, but she didn't ask me for anything; she's working hard herself. She's a very stubborn woman!"

After Su Su Xiran finished speaking, she suddenly felt a bit guilty, "I'm sorry, actually I've helped her quite a bit, but she doesn't seem to like me.

I don't know what I did wrong to make her dislike me!"

Ash patted Su Su Xiran's head and said with a grin:

"Silly, I'm your husband, why are you still saying sorry to me?"

Su Su Xiran was stunned for a moment, then revealed a happy and sweet smile.

She didn't know why, but even though Ash wasn't exceptionally outstanding, she was willing to marry him.

Perhaps it was his sunny, righteous, kind, and optimistic personality that attracted her,

or perhaps it had to do with his resilient and stubborn character.

The two arrived at the entrance of Su Su Xiran's villa. Su Su Xiran stopped and turned her head:

"By the way, where are you staying tonight? Do you want to stay here?

Anyway, this place isn't far from your school, and it will be convenient for you to cultivate after you go back!"

Ash thought for a moment and laughed, "Since that's the case, I'll stay here for the night.

When your mother is discharged from the hospital, take me to pay her a visit."

"Alright! Then I'll tidy up a room for you!"

Seeing that Ash was willing to stay here for the night, Su Su Xiran's cheeks flushed, her eyes shining brightly, and she looked very excited.

Ash looked at her and asked strangely, "Sister Sister Xixi, you aren't staying behind on purpose just to be lazy and not do any work, are you?" 10

Su Su Xiran rolled her eyes at Ash and said, "No way! I'm a CEO's secretary now.

I have many things to deal with every day; where would I have time to do chores!"

"Then why were you so excited just now? Could it be because someone is finally here to keep you company?" Ash teased.

Su Su Xiran instantly turned beet red and scolded, "Hateful! I'm not talking to you anymore; I'm going to tidy up the room for you."

After saying that, she quickly ran into the house. Clearly, Ash's guess was not wrong.

"Hehe."

Looking at Su Su Xiran's back, a warm smile appeared on Ash's face. To be able to marry such a virtuous wife as Sister Sister Xixi in this life,

was truly a blessing he had cultivated over several lifetimes.

Not long after, Su Su Xiran had Ash's clothes organized and took him into the bedroom to rest.

Ash lay on the soft bed, smelling the elegant fragrance emanating from Su Su Xiran beside his pillow, and began to feel drowsy.

"Sister Sister Xixi, I'm falling asleep, okay?"

"Mm, I'm tired too."

Su Su Xiran answered softly, then lay down as well, covered herself with the quilt, and closed her eyes. However, very quickly,

seemingly sensing something, she opened her beautiful eyes and looked to her side.

She saw Ash staring at her with a burning gaze.

"What are you looking at?" Her face flushed.

Ash laughed wickedly, "I'm looking at you, little demon, you're getting prettier and prettier!"

Su Su Xiran's pretty face turned even redder, and she glared at Ash, "Smooth talker!"

She reached out her jade arms to hook around Ash's neck and took the initiative to offer her cherry lips.

A moment later, Su Su Xiran lay on Ash's chest, panting lightly, a happy blush on her face.

Ash held the beauty in his arms, feeling a bit restless in his heart, but he also knew he absolutely couldn't mess around right now.

Although he was married to Sister Sister Xixi, he wasn't ready to have children yet.

Otherwise, no matter how much his parents urged him, he would never agree.

In this era, there were too many children from single-parent families, and his own mother had passed away early; he really didn't want to endure the pain of losing maternal love again.

Ash looked at Xiaojun, who was still fast asleep, and sighed.

He also wanted to give Xiaojun a complete home, but Xiaojun was simply too immature; she hadn't realized

how important her existence was to Ash and Su Su Xiran.

Even in her eyes, Ash, who had lost both parents, wasn't qualified to take care of them, and Ash had to leave them.

"Sigh. Xiaojun is still young; maybe she'll be sensible when she grows up slowly."

Ash whispered to himself, then looked at Su Su Xiran, who was fast asleep, his eyes flashing with an unreadable look.

"Sister Sister Xixi, don't worry. Once I deal with that guy Zhao Zhao Haokun,

I will definitely make you and Xiaojun the happiest people in the world."
