Chapter 66

Hongyue, it's really you, your fiancé certainly didn't deceive me.

As soon as she heard the sound, Yue Qingxue turned around delighted, saw Yang Hongyue happily rushing over, and the two embraced.

You said Shen Tianxing? How could you be here, and how could you meet him? Uncle Yue certainly wouldn't let you come out on your own, you wouldn't have sneaked out, would you?

Yang Hongyue suddenly let go of Yue Qingxue with some reluctance, her face full of suspicion as she questioned. Yue Qingxue, for once, showed an embarrassed smile.

"I really did sneak out, there was no way around it; hearing what happened in Jingcheng, knowing that Old Master Yang and the whole Yang Family had been locked up in Tianlao, I begged my father to take troops to Jingcheng to rescue them."

But my father said we must prioritize the bigger picture, and even if we went we might not be able to rescue them, and we might all die in Jingcheng; so I had a big argument with my father, then found a chance to sneak out—if he wouldn't save them, I would.

I never expected you and your fiancé to have already rescued them, and to meet here—it's wonderful; how are Old Master Yang and the others now?

Yang Hongyue was still deeply moved; she and Yue Qingxue usually competed and bickered, always trying to outdo each other, but their sisterly bond was genuine—whenever one faced trouble, the other would spare no effort to help.

"You do care about my grandfather, but Old Master Yang still wants to set you up with Shen Tianxing—how could the two of them end up here together, and what just happened?"

Yang Hongyue secretly thought, suddenly realizing something was off.

"My grandfather and the others are fine, but how did you end up coming here with Shen Tianxing? What just happened?"

Seeing Yang Hongyue's anxious look, and not denying that Shen Tianxing was her fiancé, Yue Qingxue couldn't help but tease:

"Calling Hongyue so affectionately, you really are her fiancé—not bad looking, decent strength; I never thought you'd end up being the one taken."

"I came with him because he saved me—it's fate; how could such a good man take a liking to you? You wouldn't be pointing a gun at him to make him your fiancé, would you?"

As expected, Yang Hongyue knew Yue Qingxue wouldn't stay serious for more than a quarter hour; of course, she wasn't a pushover either.

"Isn't that nonsense? If you weren't strong enough, how could you be my fiancé? Saving you is perfectly normal, after all your strength is just mediocre."

I really don't understand how General Yue, who is supposedly a Ninth Grade First Layer expert, could have no martial talent at all; after years of effort, you're only at Fifth Grade First Layer.

As for Shen Tianxing being my fiancé, he's the one who desperately pursued me; besides, I can't beat him, and he's sincere toward me—just like you said, such a good man, how could I not want him?

Shen Tianxing was also quite surprised; at this moment Yang Hongyue seemed like a petty Eldest Young Lady—indeed, a woman only shows another side and reveals her sharp claws when facing an equal opponent.

"Hongyue, if you say that, it's great; since it's really that good, I can't let it pass—I wonder how Young Hero Shen sees me, whether I'm worthy of you?"

Yue Qingxue, while speaking, also took off her hat, letting her long hair flow down; she truly was a beauty like a celestial maiden, especially when she winked at Shen Tianxing, her big, watery eyes seeming to speak.

"Not bad; speaking of suitability, it should be whether I'm worthy of you, but you—Old Master Yang originally intended to have me matchmake with your father, so you and Hongyue would both marry me."

I originally thought Miss Yue wouldn't be interested in someone like me, but now it seems I was overthinking; if so, when we reach Leizhou, the four of us will get married together.

Shen Tianxing spoke frankly; this was never something that needed to be hidden.

Yue Qingxue stood there stunned; he didn't deny having some fondness for Shen Tianxing, but it hadn't reached the point of discussing marriage—he had originally just wanted to use Shen Tianxing to annoy Yang Hongyue, but now he'd ended up implicating himself as well.

"What, you're not willing now, right? I knew you were stubborn, with nothing left but that mouth; just now you were praising how good Shen Tianxing was, but now that you know you could marry him, you're too scared, aren't you?"

Yang Hongyue truly was a divine assist—this remark immediately provoked Yue Qingxue to glare at her fiercely!

"Who says I don't dare? I, Yue Qingxue, keep my word; since he also agrees, I'm willing. When you follow me back to Leizhou, I'll have my father arrange our wedding—but why four people, and who is the fourth?"

People just can't hold back when they argue; once they start arguing, they'll say anything—yet Yue Qingxue still cared a lot about the so-called fourth person.

"Miss Yue, let me introduce you: this is my principal wife Qin Mingyue; moreover, if you and Hongyue marry me, you can only be side wives—I wonder if Miss Yue would still be willing?"

Shen Tianxing, while speaking, pulled Qin Mingyue over; she had originally been standing behind Yang Hongyue, and being pulled to his side, she immediately blushed and lowered her head.

"Hello, I'm Qin Mingyue; actually there's no real distinction between principal and side wives—if you marry Tianxing, we'll just be good sisters, with no seniority."

Yue Qingxue found it hard to accept at once; putting up with her good sister was fine, but another one had appeared, and she seemed gentle and generous—so Yue Qingxue couldn't lash out at her.

"See? I knew you wouldn't accept it, but it's fine—I'm not really keen on letting Tianxing marry another anyway; your reluctance works out well, saves me from having you constantly underfoot."

Yang Hongyu was still trying the provocation tactic, but this time Yue Qingxue wasn't provoked—after all, with another person added, it was quite different.

I think I need to calm down, and this marriage matter also needs to be discussed with my father. Let's not talk about this issue for now; instead, let me go see Old Master Yang.

Yue Qingxue suppressed his emotions and still managed a smile, changing the subject.

Then let's go inside and wait; grandfather doesn't know where he ran off to, nor when he'll return.

Yang Hongyue looked triumphant, but as soon as her words fell, the sound of Yang Tieqiang's voice came from behind her.

"Qingxue girl, how did you come? It's been half a year, you've grown a lot, your looks surpass before."

Yang Tieqiang laughed heartily; he wasn't alone, but came walking shoulder‑to‑shoulder with a plump middle‑aged man.

Old Master Yang, I originally intended to go to Jingcheng to rescue you, but I didn't expect you'd already been rescued; seeing you're still in good shape, I can relax.

Yue Qingxue stood straight, his words full of respect; he always behaved this way before Yang Tieqiang, after all, even his father was the same—like a mouse seeing a cat.

Haha... Qingxue girl, you're thoughtful; come on, let me introduce you—this is the old fellow, son of my old sworn brother, now the governor of Luoxia City, Wang Dagang; don't just stand there, call him Uncle Wang.
