Chapter 1004

"Alright!"

"By the way!" Su Yang suddenly asked, "Mom, how about you move to Shengjing City?"

Shengjing City is definitely much safer than Changwu City.

Marshal Xu and several generals of the Federation all reside permanently in Shengjing City; with them there, Shengjing City is as impregnable as a fortress.

With Su Yang's current status, transferring his mother and sister to Shengjing City would only require a simple notice to the City Guard Corps.

"Can we not move?" Zhang Xiuru asked softly, "Mom has only just gotten to know some people in Changwu City..."

Su Yang fell silent.

Zhang Xiuru added, "Actually, Changwu City is quite safe too—we've been very happy here!"

Changwu City is indeed excellent; from a safety standpoint, it ranks among the top three cities in the nation!

The southwest has superior terrain, and with Qin Qin Pengcheng, Yao Xing, and Ma Wenhong in full control, the Southwest Military Department is by far the strongest among the Federation's eight military departments, nearly crushing all other factions underfoot!

This has also resulted in the southwest having the least internal friction and the strongest overall strength.

"Mm!" Su Yang nodded, "I'll ask for her opinion once my sister comes back!"

Liu Mengyun, sitting beside Su Yang, said, "Auntie, may I go home now?"

Seeing Liu Mengyun rise to leave, Zhang Xiuru hurriedly said, "Mengyun, stay and have lunch first!"

Just as Liu Mengyun was about to refuse, Su Yang grabbed her hand.

Liu Mengyun's hand recoiled as if shocked.

A flush instantly spread across her fair skin.

Su Yang had already noticed that Liu Mengyun had been nervous since entering his home, but she concealed it so well that only those unfamiliar with her couldn't tell.

Su Yang smiled, "Stay and have lunch first!"

"Son, you and..."

"Mm!" Su Yang nodded, "Mengyun... Mengyun is my girlfriend now!"

"Really?"

Zhang Xiuru exclaimed in delight.

"Really!"

Su Yang reached out again, pulling Liu Mengyun back down to sit.

Liu Mengyun dared not look up.

Despite her usual calmness and boldness in battle, Liu Mengyun remains an extremely reserved and introverted woman when it comes to emotions.

If she were truly the clingy type, she never would have let Su Yang keep calling her Deputy Liu.

In matters of emotion, Su Yang may be a bit of a fool, but he has courage!

"That's wonderful! I'll go call Xiao Yue to prepare lunch!"

Zhang Xiuru rushed off eagerly.

Su Yang's marriage had always been Zhang Xiuru's greatest worry.

Many excellent girls surrounded Su Yang, yet he remained as dense as a lump of wood, making Zhang Xiuru anxious.

Before Su Yang returned home, Zhang Xiuru worried not only about her son's safety but also about his marriage.

Zhang Xiuru didn't care which woman her son married; her standards for a daughter-in-law were not high—indeed, they were rather low.

As long as she was virtuous and could take care of her son, appearance and family background didn't matter!

Zhang Xiuru had a very good impression of Liu Mengyun.

Good background, good manners, proper appearance, and a fine figure—her children would never go hungry.

Plus, she was slightly older than her son, so she'd surely take good care of him...

Most importantly, her son liked her.

That was perfect!

"Su Yang, how could you do that?"

"Do what?" Su Yang laughed. "Isn't it bound to be made public eventually?"

"Not now!"

"It's inevitable!" Su Yang grinned. "Do you really think you can escape?"

"..."

At that moment, Su Yang and Liu Mengyun both heard Su Xiaoxiao's voice coming from the Bieshuda.

"Xu Ye, goodbye!"

"Goodbye!"

After a rustle of footsteps, the slightly ajar Bieshuda door was pushed open.

Su Xiaoxiao stepped in cheerfully, carrying several large bags.

Only after placing the bags on the coffee table did she realize something was off.

She turned her head slightly and saw Su Yang sitting on the sofa, smiling at her.

"Brother?"

"Mm!"

"Brother!"

Su Xiaoxiao screamed and dashed toward Su Yang, flinging herself into his arms.

The impact was as powerful as the blow from Elder Xu Wei's Black Demon Whale—she slammed Su Yang straight into the sofa back.

Su Yang hugged Su Xiaoxiao and laughed, "Just this short time apart, you've gotten fatter!"

"You're the one who's fat!"

Su Xiaoxiao lifted her head and said bitterly.

"Fine! You're not fat, you're just heavy!"

Su Xiaoxiao snorted and quickly got off Su Yang, for she had been too excited to notice Liu Mengyun beside him.

"Big Sister Mengyun!"

"Xiaoxiao, it's been so long—you've become even more beautiful!"

"Big Sister Mengyun has better eyes than my brother!"

Liu Mengyun said, "Your brother was just teasing you!"

"Hmph!" Su Xiaoxiao stayed angry for a second, then asked, "Brother, when did you get back?"

"Just now!"

"Will you leave again after this visit?"

"Yes!"

"What's that supposed to mean!"

Su Yang said proudly, "I've got good news for you—I'm a General now!"

"What!" Xiaoxiao's face filled with shock; her big, beautiful eyes widened wide. "Brother, you're not lying to me, are you?"

"When have I ever lied to you?"

"Really?"

"Of course it's true!"

"Wonderful! Wonderful!" Xiaoxiao bounced in place. "So that means I can walk around Wucheng however I want now?"

Su Yang warned, "Be careful—you might get caught by General Qin and have your legs broken!"

Walk around however you want… too much imagination!

"Brother, can you really be so cruel?"

"Of course not!" Su Yang replied. "If your legs really got broken, I'd visit every famous doctor to heal them—you won't be left with a permanent disability."

"You're probably not my real brother."

Xiaoxiao began to doubt life itself!

At the dinner table, Zhang Xiuru kept serving dishes to Liu Mengyun, leaving Xiaoxiao utterly confused; only after Liu Mengyun left did Zhang Xiuru tell Xiaoxiao about Su Yang's relationship with Liu Mengyun.

Xiaoxiao asked curiously, "Brother, are you and Big Sister Mengyun together?"

"Yes!" Su Yang smiled and asked, "How's that? Happy?"

"Happy!"

But Xiaoxiao's expression didn't look happy at all.

"I feel like you're about to cry? What's wrong? Isn't it good to have a sister-in-law?"
