Chapter 1083: Chapter 1084: A Harmonious Union

Qi Lanqin stayed in such a villa for the first time, and it was also the first time sleeping on such a soft bed. The air conditioner in the room was set to the most comfortable temperature for the human body. Under the blanket with a faint fragrance, she indeed felt like she was in a dream.

She knew that she might be living this kind of life from now on, and it seemed like, even if she wanted to refuse, it was impossible. Her identity was unchangeable, and being this Princess, whether she wanted it or not, couldn’t be altered.

She could accept the change in identity, after all, the difference was like going from hell to heaven for her. She knew where her roots were and who her family was before, and she carried a special responsibility on her shoulders.

However, there was another responsibility that made her feel indescribable.

This Princess would eventually become Song Xiaodong’s woman, even though Song Xiaodong already had so many wives. How could she still become Song Xiaodong’s woman? This was completely different from the love she imagined. It even made her feel like it was a marriage determined by a mere pledge, a forced marriage.

Is Song Xiaodong a good man? At the very least, from the interactions they’ve had, Qi Lanqin had to admit, Song Xiaodong was indeed very good. Although not particularly handsome, he had a great temperament, was incredibly capable, and was indeed the kind of man a woman should like.

She really couldn’t understand why those women followed Song Xiaodong like this. Could it be they were all after Song Xiaodong’s money and status? Was it because a man was too powerful, so even if the women didn’t like him in their hearts, they could only endure silently?

Anyway, this night, Qi Lanqin’s mind was quite a mess, even more so than the day before in the hotel. She hardly slept for a few hours the whole night.

“Lanqin, time to get up.” A knock on the door was followed by Feng Kexin’s voice outside.

Qi Lanqin hurriedly sat up and anxiously said, “I’m coming, I’m coming.” She quickly ran over and opened the door.

“Everyone’s here in the morning, we all have breakfast together. Huh, your eyes, did you not sleep well?” Feng Kexin examined Qi Lanqin.

“I indeed didn’t sleep well, I’ll go wash up right away.” Qi Lanqin nodded embarrassedly.

Feng Kexin continued, “Then go ahead, usually in our house, the mornings have the most people. But in the afternoons and evenings, everyone is busy with their own affairs, and many people don’t eat at home.”

“Oh, okay.” Qi Lanqin quickly went to freshen up and then followed Feng Kexin to the dining room.

Upon entering, Qi Lanqin was startled. Around a large round table sat more than ten people; except for Song Xiaodong, who was the only man, the rest were all beautiful women.

And each of these beauties had their own unique traits, leaving Qi Lanqin dazzled.

Feng Kexin chuckled lightly and said, “Brother, good morning to all sisters-in-law.”

Song Xiaodong gestured and said, “Sit down.”

Qi Lanqin sat down with Feng Kexin, but her heart was pounding. Could all these women really be Song Xiaodong’s wives?

At this time, Feng Kexin continued, “This is Qi Lanqin, Lanqin, let me introduce everyone to you.”

Feng Kexin introduced everyone one by one. Qi Lanqin greeted each of them and then realized that the eight beauties sitting here were all Song Xiaodong’s wives.

Adding Feng Kexin made nine, and if she included herself, that would make ten.

In the past, Shui Qinghe and Wu Xiaoya also used to eat with everyone, but later Wu Xiaoya felt it was too uncomfortable, so she stopped joining everyone for meals, and Shui Qinghe, who lived with her, also simply stopped coming.

Song Xiaoru said, “Lanqin, there are no outsiders here, so there’s no need to be restrickt. We all know about your special identity, and everyone will treat you like family in the future.”

“Thank you, Sister Xiaoru.” Qi Lanqin clearly remembered Song Xiaoru’s identity, as Feng Kexin had specifically told her about it.

Song Xiaoru smiled slightly and said, “Alright then, let’s start eating.”

During the meal, everyone occasionally chatted quietly, some talked about work, while others engaged in gossip, but everyone appeared quite relaxed, occasionally laughing softly, making everything appear so natural and harmonious.

In Qi Lanqin’s mind, with so many women together, one would expect conflicts and jealousy, but she didn’t notice any of that in them.

Even Song Xiaodong was quite relaxed, and even when everyone teased him, he just laughed, his eyes full of affection.

Moreover, everyone was obviously taking care of her too, occasionally speaking a few words to her. Although Qi Lanqin couldn’t blend in completely, at least she didn’t feel very awkward.

After the meal, everyone left the dining room together, reminding Feng Kexin to take good care of Qi Lanqin. Since everyone was busy, they didn’t have time to accompany her, making everything seem so friendly.

As Feng Kexin and Qi Lanqin walked towards the room, she humorously asked, “How do you feel?”

Qi Lanqin didn’t know how to respond, so she just said, “Pretty good.”

Feng Kexin winked and asked, “Hehe, what’s pretty good?”

Qi Lanqin stammered for a moment, finally summoning the courage to ask, “Sister Kexin, can I ask a question?”

“Go ahead, whatever it is, just say it directly. In our house, you shouldn’t keep any dissatisfaction to yourself. If there’s any unhappiness, just say it out loud, and everyone will work together to resolve it.”

Blushing, Qi Lanqin said, “Oh… so do you all usually not have these… jealous fights?”

Feng Kexin chuckled, “Have you been watching too many palace dramas? That kind of thing doesn’t happen in our house. Everyone is with him because they like him, because they love him, so they’re together. And everyone understands that for this family to be good, we have to give up such petty schemes. If anyone harbors too much self-interest, everyone will definitely end up disliking her.”

Qi Lanqin said, “But… I always feel such things seem too dreamy. Everyone has a selfish side.”

Feng Kexin nodded and said, “You have a point. So this depends on our brother’s personal charm. As long as he can treat everyone equally, I think it shouldn’t be a big problem. At least from what I see now, our home is quite stable and united, everyone is like real sisters.”

“Oh…” Qi Lanqin didn’t know what else to say, but subconsciously felt a sense of relief.

“Hehe…” Feng Kexin laughed softly and said, “Are you feeling relieved now, so you’re not afraid of being ostracized?”

“No, I wasn’t…” Qi Lanqin quickly denied it, but in her heart, she had to admit that she indeed had that thought just now.
