Chapter 1454: But He Doesn't Look Like the Sort Who Likes Killing!

After the wedding, Su Yang did not leave Qingluan City right away; he took Qin Xiaoxiao to visit her family.

The members of the Qin clan from Qin Xiaoxiao's branch gave Su Yang an extremely warm welcome.

Even Qin Xiaoxiao's parents were extremely warm toward Su Yang.

Su Yang figured it was very likely that Qin Longyun had given them a heads-up in advance.

Still, he felt quite good about it—of course he hoped everything would go smoothly.

After the wedding, a happy smile had been hanging on Qin Xiaoxiao's face the whole time.

Happiness is something you only know by comparison.

Compared with other women in royal arranged marriages, she felt that heaven had truly been too good to her!

Qin Xiaoxiao's mother Yun Ji, seeing this, was also happy for her daughter.

"Xiaoxiao, stop smiling—look at you, you're just like a lovesick fool!"

Qin Ningshuang found it a bit hard to watch.

She still remembered how, just a few days ago, Qin Xiaoxiao had clung to her and cried.

But now, Qin Xiaoxiao sat on the bed, and the moment Su Yang came up in conversation, she would clutch a pillow and grin foolishly…

Add to that the charm of a woman newly wed, and the whole of Qin Xiaoxiao was filled with a different kind of allure!

"Is that so?"

Qin Ningshuang said firmly, "Absolutely a lovesick fool!"

"If I want to laugh, I'll laugh!"

Qin Xiaoxiao didn't mind Qin Ningshuang's teasing in the slightest.

"You really are—!"

Qin Ningshuang didn't know what to say.

Seeing Qin Xiaoxiao happy, Qin Ningshuang was happy for her too.

But the smile on her face was so dazzling it stung Qin Ningshuang's eyes.

She was almost jealous, and couldn't help wanting to take a jab at Qin Xiaoxiao.

"Xiaoxiao, your husband and that Xia Na who's always by his side—there's something going on between them, isn't there?"

Hearing Qin Ningshuang bring up Xia Na, the smile on Qin Xiaoxiao's face finally gradually faded; she knit her brows slightly, but three seconds later broke into a smile again.

"There is!"

"And you can still laugh?"

"It's all like that anyway!" Qin Xiaoxiao said gleefully. "Come to think of it, I'm the one who got the bargain—Xia Na and the others knew Su Yang way before I did!"

Qin Ningshuang felt that her little lady-friend was being a bit too optimistic.

"Not jealous at all?"

"What's there to be jealous over?" Qin Xiaoxiao said. "I do get a little unhappy sometimes, but then I think about my mother, think about my father, and it doesn't feel like anything. A man as amazing as Su Yang marrying a few wives—isn't that normal?"

She had a point!

Qin Ningshuang couldn't argue against Qin Xiaoxiao's reasoning.

"I heard that Su Yang has another wife?"

"One wife is already very few—I'm a co-wife!" Qin Xiaoxiao said proudly. "I'm his second wife!"

"Did Su Yang tell you whether that wife of his is easy to get along with?"

"She should be easy to get along with, right!" Qin Xiaoxiao pressed her lips together. "Sister Xia Na has stayed by General Su's side all this time without any trouble, and General Su even said that his original wife agreed when he married me!"

"Fine then!"

Qin Ningshuang nodded.

If the original wife could put up with that Xia Na, she could certainly put up with Qin Xiaoxiao too.

"Xiaoxiao, where exactly is that General Su from?"

Qin Xiaoxiao tightened her grip on the pillow and beckoned Qin Ningshuang over; Qin Ningshuang immediately got the idea and leaned her ear in.

Qin Ningshuang only heard Xiaoxiao whisper by her ear, "Sorry, Sister Ningshuang, that's classified—I can't tell you…"

Seeing the mischievous smile on Qin Xiaoxiao's face, Qin Ningshuang angrily pushed Qin Xiaoxiao down onto the bed!

"Hahaha… no…"

Su Yang came back from outside, pushed the door open and walked in, just in time to see Qin Ningshuang and Qin Xiaoxiao roughhousing.

"Sister Ningshuang, let me go… stop tickling me!"

As he came in, Su Yang happened to see the two of them in slightly disheveled clothes.

And Xiaoxiao—her hair in disarray, laughing till tears sparkled at the corners of her eyes, completely pinned down by Qin Ningshuang.

He froze for a moment!

"Help~ Sister Ningshuang's bullying me, come teach her a lesson for me!"

Su Yang gently closed the door, turned around, and walked right back out.

Just as he reached the doorway, Su Yang slapped his forehead: "Why am I running? That's my wife!"

Inside the room, Qin Ningshuang looked at Qin Xiaoxiao, and Qin Xiaoxiao's face showed a look of terrified despair.

"Still dare to ask him to teach me a lesson?"

"Sister Ningshuang, I was just joking!"

"Then I'll joke around with you too!"

"Husband, help me!"

"…"

Xia Na stood behind Su Yang and said in a low, eerie voice, "Not going back to save your wife?"

"It's nothing, just horsing around!" Su Yang said with a smile, "But you, you don't seem to have given me a pleasant look lately…"

"I haven't!"

"You have!"

"I'm just learning from Sister Mengyun!"

"Don't learn from your Sister Mengyun!" Su Yang said, "Today I'll teach you something good!"

Xia Na shot Su Yang a withering glance.

Su Yang gazed at the distant sky and said softly, "Xia Na!"

"Mm?"
