Chapter 440: Chapter 441 Pampering Miao Xuanxuan

Miao Xuanxuan instantly read the meaning in Chen Zixu’s eyes. However, seeing Song Xiaodong chuckle there, it was obvious that he didn’t mind. This made her feel so smug inside—Song Xiaodong really doted on her. Otherwise, he wouldn’t let her speak so freely in front of others.

After some drinking, a subordinate walked in, holding a bag, handed it to Chen Zixu, and then left. Chen Zixu brought the bag in front of Song Xiaodong and said, "Brother Song, this time I’ve gotten such great benefits, all thanks to Brother Song for taking down Jin Long. I know that with Brother Song’s status, money and beauties aren’t lacking, but I can’t just enjoy the perks without showing any gratitude. This is the property deed of the Hualong Guildhall. The guildhall is now yours, Brother Song."

"Oh, is that necessary?" Song Xiaodong frowned slightly.

Chen Zixu immediately replied, "Brother Song, rest assured. The property of this guildhall is absolutely clean and legit."

The guildhall’s annual rent alone was over a million, and its value was even over thirty million. Chen Zixu’s gift was truly substantial.

Miao Xuanxuan took the bag, looked inside, and said, "This is the property deed of the guildhall, oh, doesn’t that mean this property is yours now? And then President Li can freely run the guildhall there, which means President Li will surely be more grateful to you, right?"

Chen Zixu’s face darkened. He cursed internally, realizing he hadn’t considered this issue. Indeed, the deed was intended for Li Sijie, but now Miao Xuanxuan was the one with Song Xiaodong, and this flattery seemed to have hit the wrong target.

Forcing a laugh, Chen Zixu hurriedly said, "Sister-in-law, I wasn’t thorough in handling this matter. But it’s also because I didn’t know what you like, so I didn’t rush to send you any gifts. If you could tell me what you like, I’ll have someone prepare it right away."

"What I like? I like a lot of things," Miao Xuanxuan said irritably.

Chen Zixu became even more anxious, and said, "Sister-in-law, this mistake is on me, please don’t blame Brother Song. How about this, you go shopping, and I’ll just pay for whatever you buy, does that sound good?"

Song Xiaodong laughed and said, "Xuanxuan, stop teasing him. You’ve scared Zi Xu."

Miao Xuanxuan pouted and replied, "I’m not teasing, even President Li can receive such a big gift. Shouldn’t mine be even better than President Li’s?"

Sometimes the way women compete is just baffling. Miao Xuanxuan couldn’t compete with her own sister, and now even Xiao Yingying seemed to have more confidence than her. If she couldn’t outdo even Li Sijie, she would really be annoyed.

Chen Zixu hurriedly said, "Then how about this, any property under the name of Hualong Company that catches your eye, I’ll transfer it directly to you. Does that work?"

Upon hearing this, Miao Xuanxuan finally perked up, saying, "Now that sounds reasonable."

Chen Zixu finally breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Then it’s settled. By the way, there are quite a few good things under Jin Long’s name, and many are even bigger than mine. I remember there’s a KTV that just finished renovations and hasn’t started operating yet. It’s quite luxurious and high-end. How about I acquire that and put it under your name afterward?"

Miao Xuanxuan nodded, saying, "Okay, I’ll check it out later, and if it satisfies me, I’ll reluctantly accept it."

Chen Zixu eagerly agreed, "As long as sister-in-law is happy, as long as sister-in-law is happy."

Song Xiaodong didn’t object. This time, although it seemed like Chen Zixu had given a lot, with Jin Long gone, the benefits he could gain were even greater, so giving something in return wasn’t a big deal.

Moreover, he could see that Miao Xuanxuan was competing with Li Sijie, and if he intervened again, it would undoubtedly upset Miao Xuanxuan. She had already suffered enough, and after giving so much, even if she was occasionally whimsical, it was completely worth being spoilt by Song Xiaodong.

Song Xiaodong patted Chen Zixu on the shoulder and said, "Zi Xu, as long as you don’t do anything outrageous or incite public anger, I’ll save your life in the future."

Chen Zixu was startled for a moment, staring blankly at Song Xiaodong, then suddenly stood up, holding a glass of wine, and respectfully said to Song Xiaodong, "Brother Song, thank you."

Others might take this as a joke, but Chen Zixu understood the significant meaning behind these words, which could be interpreted in two ways.

One was that if he fell ill or met with a disaster, Song Xiaodong would intervene to help him.

The second was about his involvement in illicit businesses; if there were any official actions against him, he might well be arrested—an understanding shared by everyone in the underworld, no matter how careful one was. But when it genuinely came to facing the music, no one could counter the might of the state machinery.

This also meant that Song Xiaodong possessed significant influence in this regard, enough to save him in the most dangerous times, which was more important than anything else.

Song Xiaodong smiled faintly and said, "However, I hope this guarantee doesn’t make you reckless."

"Brother Song, I know, this will make me even more cautious."

Song Xiaodong nodded, clinked his glass with Chen Zixu’s, and then both of them drained their drinks in one gulp.

After leaving Chen Zixu’s place, sitting in the car, Song Xiaodong said, "Xuanxuan, it’s still early. Shall we go out for a stroll?"

"Stroll?" Miao Xuanxuan, sitting in the driver’s seat, looked at Song Xiaodong and then said, "Where do you want to go for a stroll?"

Song Xiaodong said, "Anywhere is fine, just to walk around."

Miao Xuanxuan raised her chin and said, "Hmph, I don’t want to walk with you. I’m just your aunt by marriage, not your girlfriend. Going out with you, I would easily be at a disadvantage."

Song Xiaodong placed his hand on Miao Xuanxuan’s thigh and said, "What if I wanted to take advantage of you?"

Miao Xuanxuan glared at Song Xiaodong and said, "If you want to take advantage, then take advantage. I definitely won’t play along, hmph, now you have a girlfriend and a lover, yet you still care about me, your little aunt. Stop dreaming, remove your hand, or I will scream."

"Then scream, I won’t move my hand." Song Xiaodong said, while his hand gently caressed Miao Xuanxuan’s leg.

"Ah, you scoundrel, don’t touch me, I’m your little aunt! Is this how a brother-in-law should act? Ah, don’t touch there; I’ll agree, I agree, oh please, this place is crowded, do you want people to see us performing in the car?" Miao Xuanxuan grabbed Song Xiaodong’s arm, but her hand was feeble and she quickly began to plead.

Yesterday, I only updated two Chapters, I’m truly sorry; I couldn’t handle it physically, couldn’t write anymore. I felt better this morning and shouldn’t miss updates today.
