Chapter 192: Chapter 192: Wife

Su Luo looked at the embarrassed Xia Yi and couldn’t help but reveal a hint of a smile on his face.

Although Xia Yi already had a daughter, she was ultimately a woman who had never been in love, so such a form of address would make her blush and her heart race!

"Wife!"

Su Luo jokingly called out again.

Xia Yi couldn’t help but reach out and gently punch Su Luo in the chest, rolling her eyes at him to signal that he should not push his luck.

Su Luo smiled.

He had already found the trick to winning over Xia Yi, to make Xia Yi accept him, he needed to be a bit shameless, and Nian Nian was a perfect "tool", she could serve as a great wingman.

Thinking this, Su Luo hugged Nian Nian again and couldn’t help but kiss her on the face, making Nian Nian giggle nonstop.

However, seeing this scene, Xia Yi was somewhat distracted.

Su Luo was getting along better and better with her and her daughter, and moreover, he had risked his life to save them, something that ninety-nine point nine percent of men in the world wouldn’t do. After all, she was not Su Luo’s wife, and Nian Nian was not Su Luo’s daughter, but Su Luo could go to such lengths for them, which moved and grateful to Xia Yi beyond measure.

Last night, she was worried about Su Luo and hardly slept until later when she received a strange message claiming Su Luo was safe. Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief and drift off to sleep.

In her dreams, she dreamed that she had married Su Luo and was living happily with Su Luo and Nian Nian.

And she had given Su Luo another son.

After waking up, she even wondered whether Su Luo risking his life to save her and Nian Nian meant that maybe, just maybe, he wouldn’t mind that she already had a daughter. After all, strictly speaking, she had never been in love, nor had she been intimate with any man.

Her heart was restless, but she nourished such hope.

But... then she heard about the affair between Su Luo and Lin Ruoxi.

It turned out that Su Luo already had a relationship with Lin Ruoxi, and they were the real couple.

She felt dejected, but having self-awareness, she planned to suppress those improper thoughts that had surfaced.

But just then, Su Luo was getting so close to her and Nian Nian again, leaving her somewhat dazed...

Should she... maintain a distance from Su Luo?

To avoid affecting Su Luo and Lin Ruoxi’s relationship?

"Wife, what are you thinking about?"

Just as she was distracted, Su Luo’s voice rang out beside her ear again.

Wife?

He was getting really fluent at calling that.

Xia Yi couldn’t help but glare at Su Luo: "You’re calling that again?"

Su Luo leaned in and whispered, "In front of Nian Nian, if I don’t call you ’wife,’ she might start to doubt."

Xia Yi found herself without an argument in response.

In the end, she didn’t try to stop him.

Moreover, with the word "wife" echoing in her ears, Xia Yi found her heartbeat speeding up a bit.

"Wife, do you still want to go back to the Jinling Xia Family? To be entered into their family registry?" Su Luo’s voice rose again, just as Xia Yi dared not meet his gaze.

Upon hearing this, Xia Yi immediately looked up, met Su Luo’s eyes firmly, and declared, "No, I have no relation with the Jinling Xia Family anymore! I won’t go back, and I won’t allow Nian Nian to have any ties with them either!"

"Then that’s good," Su Luo said.

"What happened?" Xia Yi asked.

Su Luo recounted the incident from yesterday when he ambushed Xia Hongbo.

Xia Yi widened her eyes in disbelief as she looked at Su Luo: "You... you’re saying, you crippled Xia Hongbo?"

Su Luo nodded.

"You’re a Martial Arts Grandmaster now?" Contrary to Su Luo’s expectations, Xia Yi’s first reaction wasn’t to enquire about Xia Hongbo’s condition, but to ask about his.

Su Luo smiled and said, "No, but a Martial Arts Grandmaster like Xia Hongbo isn’t my match anymore."

"Su Luo, thank you." After a moment of silence, Xia Yi finally spoke.

"Thank me for what?" Su Luo looked at her.

Xia Yi said, "I want to thank you for crippling Xia Hongbo, for avenging the insult to my mother! I also thank you for sparing his life, leaving him alive. I think... this is what my mother would have wanted to see."

As for what she was thinking, she didn’t say, and Su Luo didn’t ask further.

However, Su Luo could tell that Xia Yi felt somewhat emotional, but not heartbroken.

Perhaps, from the moment Xia Hongbo indifferently watched her and Nian Nian being humiliated, having given up on them, the last thread of father-daughter affection in Xia Yi’s heart, had also been severed.

...

Jiangnan, Governor’s Mansion!

The Governor of Jiangnan, He Weiyuan, looking at Jiang Hongying’s corpse, had a grim expression and remained silent.

"Governor He, I’m very sorry!" Zhou Shihao was also present and spoke in a solemn tone.

He Weiyuan looked up at Zhou Shihao, suppressing the murderous intent in his heart, and said, "You are not the one who killed my wife; there’s no need for apologies."

This incident was initiated by Jiang Hongying herself, leading the team to Jinling to capture Su Luo. The plot to lure Su Luo was also devised by Jiang Hongying; he couldn’t blame Zhou Shihao for that.

Moreover, he was aware that Zhou Shihao had also suffered heavy losses.

One of his right-hand men, Grandmaster Lei Yanwu, had been killed by Su Luo.

Wan Chuanxiong was also seriously injured.

"Once I return to Jiangbei, I will definitely make Su Luo pay the price. I’ll certainly drag him out. Then, his life, I can bring to your mansion for you, Governor He, to decide his fate," Zhou Shihao pondered for a moment before speaking.

He was determined to find Su Luo and kill him. It might as well be an opportunity to curry favor with Governor He.

"Good, Mr. Zhou, as long as you can bring Su Luo to my mansion, dead or alive! From this day forward, the entire underground world of Jiangnan will be yours!" He Weiyuan directly made a promise.

This secretly delighted Zhou Shihao, finally a piece of good news.

"Rest assured, I will definitely deliver Su Luo alive to you! As for how long Governor He wishes him to live, and how he dies, that is for Governor He to decide!" Zhou Shihao also made a promise.

...

After leaving the Jiangnan Governor’s Mansion, Zhou Shihao and his party headed straight back to Jiangbei.

In the vehicle.

"Old Wan, Su Luo has already returned to Jiangbei. After getting back to Jiangbei, do you have confidence in facing him?" Zhou Shihao looked toward Wan Chuanxiong beside him and asked in a deep voice.

Su Luo must die.

And soon.

Otherwise, where would he place his dignity?

"Mr. Zhou, to be honest... that kid is too freakish, I’m not very confident," even though Wan Chuanxiong was a Pinnacle of Third-Grade Grandmaster, he had lost his confidence at this moment and did not dare to guarantee that he could handle Su Luo.

"However, over at the Jinling Xia Family, they definitely won’t let things go. They are most likely to send someone else to join forces with us to capture Su Luo," Wan Chuanxiong added.

Zhou Shihao asked, "If the Jinling Xia Family sends another Grandmaster, do you have confidence then?"

"The Jinling Xia Family still has a Third-Grade Grandmaster and a Great Grandmaster. It’s impossible for the Great Grandmaster to take action, so that leaves only the Third-Grade Grandmaster Xia Tingjing, who is at the same level as me," Wan Chuanxiong took a deep breath before speaking, "But even so, there’s still not much confidence. After all, in Jiangbei, that old man Lin Songbai would not sit idly by and watch us attack Su Luo. Moreover, Su Luo is from the Jiangbei Martial Association; Cui Fengyi also wouldn’t do nothing as we try to capture Su Luo."

Zhou Shihao said, "Don’t worry, I have a way to deal with Cui Fengyi. As for that old man Lin Songbai, he is indeed troublesome."

A moment later, Zhou Shihao rubbed his temples, "Forget it, we can’t afford another failure this time. If Su Luo escapes, he will become a huge problem. I will request the Dragon Soul Chamber of Commerce to dispatch a Grandmaster expert. Once we catch Su Luo, we’ll force his secrets out of him, then send him over to He Weiyuan. That way, we can take over the entire underworld of Jiangnan as well."

"This time, we absolutely cannot fail!" Zhou Shihao looked out the window, his eyes turning exceptionally cold.
