Chapter 327: Chapter 330 - This is an Expression of Love _1

The first time Zhang Yu saw Zhang Miao make such a serious face, he was surprised and quickly said, "Oh, sister, I understand."

The two chatted a bit more before Zhang Yu left.

Zhang Miao sat by the river, quietly staring at the flowing water in a daze.

Suddenly, her phone rang.

She glanced at the caller ID, her face gradually growing heavy. After scanning her surroundings, she pressed the answer button.

"Hello, Miss Miao?" A middle-aged man’s voice echoed.

"Mmm, it’s me," Zhang Miao responded lightly.

"Oh, Miss Miao, our people have already arrived in Hangcheng ahead of time to lie in wait," the middle-aged man said.

"Oh," Zhang Miao responded noncommittally.

The voice on the other end of the phone hesitated slightly, "Err, Miss Miao, don’t you agree with this action? This is the best chance to kill Noah. If Noah dies, Gothic Kingdom will naturally fall into the hands of the Little Prince, and then..."

"Enough!" Zhang Miao’s voice suddenly turned frosty.

The person on the other line was clearly wary of Zhang Miao, quickly saying, "I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I was talking out of turn."

"I understand. I’ll rendezvous with you later." After finishing, Zhang Miao hung up the phone.

Her gaze fell back to the shimmering river. She sighed softly, her thoughts a mystery.

About half an hour later, as Zhang Miao prepared to rise and leave, a voice sounded from behind her, "Huh? Miao Miao, it’s rare to see you here by the river, reflecting on life alone."

The person who had arrived was Zhang Miao’s best friend, the official fiancee of Young Master Yang, Su Xiaoxi.

Zhang Miao collected her emotions, turning her head to give a small smile, "Reflecting on life is better than fantasizing about men, right?"

Su Xiaoxi’s face darkened slightly, "You’re not talking about me, are you? Just to be clear, I might have moved to Yang’s villa, but I haven’t moved in with Yang Gang. I’m a woman with morals. I’ve always believed that cohabitation before marriage is immoral."

Zhang Miao rolled her eyes, "Your Gang might not think the same. If you ask me, Xiaoxi, moving to the Yang’s place is a big mistake. The poor man can look but can’t touch. If that doesn’t make him frustrated, I don’t know what will. If it were me, I would surely cheat on you."

Humph! He wouldn’t dare cheat!" Su Xiaoxi glared fiercely.

Zhang Miao considered it for a moment before breaking into a smile, "Xiaoxi, I heard Gang say, your marriage agreement includes a clause that if one party cheats, they owe the other 1 billion US dollars in emotional damages. If Gang cheated, would he only need to pay the emotional damages?"

Su Xiaoxi grinned, "Would that be it?"

The next moment, her eyes filled with murderous intent, "He would also be castrated."

Zhang Miao shuddered, "Such a fearsome woman. Gang’s really out of luck to have fallen for such a violent woman."

Su Xiaoxi laughed mischievously, "How could I bear to castrate my cute little Gang? I was talking about any woman who tempts Gang to cheat. I’ve waited so long for Gang to grow up. If some woman tricks him into giving up his first time, you can imagine my loss."

With a blank look, Zhang Miao said, "You care so much about Gang’s first time but won’t let him sleep with you? What a troublesome woman."

"Hey, Miao Miao, how could you talk about your closest friend like that? I’m going to tickle you to death!" Saying this, Su Xiaoxi tried to pounce on her.

"Stop messing around, Xiaoxi!" Zhang Miao hurriedly stored away the porcelain bottle at her side, "Don’t break my treasure."

Su Xiaoxi glanced at the porcelain bottle, "This is a Song dynasty plum bottle, from the looks of it, seems it could be authentic. Miao Miao, where did you get this?"

Zhang Miao replied calmly, "Oh, I found it myself at the antique market."

"Really?" Su Xiaoxi looked incredulous, "When did you develop such a skill? In the past, your judgement was always off. This time you managed to spot a real treasure? I’m sure some man helped you find it. You’re just too embarrassed to admit it."

"Why would I feel embarrassed to admit it?" Zhang Miao retorted.

"You once said that whoever helps you find a treasure, you would marry. Fortunately, you only said this to us few. If it got out, who knows how many men would be breaking their heads to help you find treasures at the antique market," said Su Xiaoxi.

Zhang Miao laughed, "I was only making a joke. Besides, I found this treasure by myself. It’s the first real antique I’ve found. Otherwise, why would I treasure it so?"

"Hmm, that makes sense. If a man had given it to you, you, the romance-phobic and feminist, definitely wouldn’t care about it so much," Su Xiaoxi said.

Zhang Miao winced, "Feminist... Su Xiaoxi, don’t slander your big sister. At least I wouldn’t mistreat Gang."

Su Xiaoxi collapsed, "Hey, Miao Miao, you’re the one slandering me! Me being hard on Gang is just a way of showing love. Haven’t you heard the saying, ’to hit is to care, to scold is to cherish?’"

"Oh, so that’s how it is. But I’m too ugly to have been in a relationship, so how would I know?" Zhang Miao responded sheepishly.

Su Xiaoxi grimaced, "Acting cute, I’ll hit you with a brick."

Zhang Miao laughed, then after a moment of contemplation, looking at Su Xiaoxi, she asked, "Xiaoxi, why do you think people forget happiness so fast, yet hold on to hatred so long?"

"Uh, Miao Miao, what’s happened? Why do you suddenly bring this up?" Su Xiaoxi asked.

Zhang Miao chuckled, "Nothing. I just watched a news story about a middle-aged woman who, despite being over fifty years old, hired thugs to assault someone because she was unable to withdraw money from a bank twenty years ago and had held a grudge against the clerk ever since. How frightening, to hold onto a grudge for two decades."

"Uh, that’s just an extreme case. If we have to delve into a reason, it could be because ’grudge culture’ has been part of Huaxia since ancient times. Just look at the renowned phrase ’A gentleman takes revenge, ten years is not too late’", Su Xiaoxi said.

"So, it’s because of the blood of Huaxia," Zhang Miao remarked.

Su Xiaoxi gave a look of disbelief, "It’s not unique to Huaxia. Other cultures also hold grudges."

Zhang Miao chuckled, "I was just musing. By the way, Xiaoxi, any news about the Perfect Form?"

Su Xiaoxi shook her head, "The Diviner said the Perfect Form might be in Hangcheng. But with millions of residents, how can we perform a search? The divination isn’t always a hundred percent accurate. If there’s a prediction error, even if we tore Hangcheng apart, we still wouldn’t find the Perfect Form."

"Sigh, how things change. Just a little while ago, we weren’t even sure about our identities as genetically modified beings, and now, things have already progressed to this stage. If the legendary Perfect Form truly exists, events might rapidly evolve into an all-out confrontation between the new humans and normal humans. The scenes depicted in the Hollywood movie ’X-Men’ could actually happen," Zhang Miao lamented.

Looking at the tranquil flowing river and the people enjoying the sunshine by the riverside, Su Xiaoxi said softly, "Witnessing this scene of peace, it’s hard to believe how intense the undercurrents really are."

"Indeed." Zhang Miao fell silent for a moment, then continued, "By the way, I heard that the Radical Faction has also sneaked people into Hangcheng. Do you know their identities?"

Su Xiaoxi shook her head, "Right now, we only know that the leader is a woman. As for her age, name, or appearance, we have no information."

After finishing, Su Xiaoxi added, "The biggest variable at the moment is ’Snow in White,’ the legendary bounty hunter, who is still a mystery. Reliable sources indicate she has also come to Hangcheng, but her exact purpose is unknown. Some speculate that ’Snow in White’ is actually part of the Radical Faction."
