Chapter 843: Chapter 844: This Is a Real Man

The meeting went on until late, and then everyone dispersed, but they all stayed in the Su Family Courtyard. In these critical times, staying here not only ensures safety, but also facilitates timely communication.

Song Xiaodong sat on the sofa, with Qingqing massaging his forehead from behind, while Xiao Yingying and Lin Su’er sat on either side, pounding his legs for him.

Song Xiaodong, with his eyes half-closed, smiled and said, "What’s with today? I’m being treated so well."

Xiao Yingying said, "Brother Dongzi, watching you commanding and directing with such confidence today, you were really handsome and so manly."

Normally, Miao Qingqing doesn’t often praise Xiaodong, but she couldn’t help saying at this moment, "Dongzi really has more spirit now, more like a towering man."

Song Xiaodong chuckled and asked, "Then what do I usually look like?"

"You usually look like a little hoodlum." Miao Qingqing spat at Xiaodong.

Song Xiaodong laughed heartily, touched Xiao Yingying and Lin Su’er on their chests, and said, "In front of my wife, I prefer to be a little hoodlum, taking advantage of you every day, that’s life’s greatest joy."

Even though they had been with Xiaodong for a long time and were not so embarrassed in bed, being taken advantage of by Xiaodong in the living room while everyone was watching still made Lin Su’er blush.

And everyone was at a loss for words, but they had to admit that this side of Xiaodong made him even more approachable.

Miao Xuanxuan said, "People say a man wants a woman who can be presentable in the hall, capable in the kitchen, and adventurous in bed. I think, Dongzi, you are imposing and domineering outside, playful and smiling at home, and especially wild in bed, definitely a perfect boyfriend."

"Pfft... Hahaha..." As soon as Miao Xuanxuan’s words fell, everyone burst into laughter.

Song Xiaodong also laughed heartily. Joking like this with family was definitely a heartwarming treat.

Compared to the Su Family’s tense atmosphere as if facing a formidable enemy, the women of Xiaodong’s family seemed quite relaxed at the moment. After all, they didn’t feel a strong sense of belonging to the Su Family; although they enjoyed a superior status here, they felt more like Xiaodong was a senior executive of a company and they were just the accompanying family members.

They didn’t feel anxious about potential gains or losses, nor were they worried about the fear of failure.

Moreover, after Xiaodong gave them reassurance, they had even more confidence in him, and they were even looking forward to and excited about participating in this kind of family power struggle.

That night, Song Xiaodong slept with Song Xiaoru and Lin Su’er.

Lying in bed, Xiaoru nestled against Xiaodong’s right side, her hand resting on his chest, and said, "Dongzi, I feel like your burden is just going to get heavier."

Lin Su’er, in the same pose as Xiaoru but on the left side, gently nodded and said, "Yeah, I wonder if we’ll always be in the middle of competition from now on?"

Song Xiaodong caressed their shoulders with both hands, and sighed softly, "It’s inevitable, I can’t escape it even if I want to, I just have to face it head-on."

Xiaoru raised her hand to stroke Xiaodong’s face, and said softly, "I feel like it’s going to be very hard for you."

Song Xiaodong smiled faintly and said, "Manhood is about accomplishing great deeds, and that is the greatest glory. If I can resolve this matter in my lifetime, perhaps I will leave a name for the ages and be remembered for a hundred generations."

Song Xiaoru thought of that possibility and couldn’t help but feel heartened. She said, "No matter what you do, Sister will always support you. We all will support you."

Song Xiaodong turned to peck Song Xiaoru on the forehead lightly. His hand was already sliding down her shoulder as he said, "With your support, I’m truly blessed."

Then he turned and kissed Lin Su’er on the forehead as well.

Although there were almost no jealous rivalries among the girls whenever they were with Song Xiaodong, he still paid careful attention to his actions, striving for absolute fairness, not wanting his own carelessness to cause any discontent.

Song Xiaoru and Lin Su’er both squinted their eyes, enchanted every time by Song Xiaodong’s touch, and then they too caressed Song Xiaodong. Particularly when their hands touched a certain place and met each other’s, there was no awkwardness, and they coordinated very well.

Song Xiaodong’s breathing grew heavier as he asked, "Who’s going to start today?"

"Sister Xiaoru," Lin Su’er chuckled.

Song Xiaoru hurriedly said, "No, let’s have you start today, or I’d feel awkward."

Song Xiaodong laughed, "Alright, then Su’er it is today." With that, he had already flipped over and pressed Lin Su’er beneath him.

"Brother Dongzi..." Lin Su’er murmured, but her arms were already wrapped around Song Xiaodong’s neck.

The next day, the Su Family gathered together again, having more or less come up with a concrete plan. Minghe was the foundation of the Su Family, while the Cao Family was from a neighbouring city. Apart from being weaker than the Su Family, even if they were stronger, it was impossible to stretch their reach so far and bring all their strength to bear, so they were bound to make concessions.

No doubt, the Cao Family would focus their resources on the Zhao Family, letting them take on the Su Family.

All crucial confrontations would center on the Zhao Family.

As long as the Zhou Family didn’t interfere, the Su Family was confident they could take down the Zhao Family.

At last, Su Yuya mentioned, "Family Head, I think, for us alone to take down the Zhao Family will be quite difficult. Why not reach out to the Sun family? If they could cooperate with us, our strength would increase greatly, as would our chances of winning."

Song Xiaodong nodded, "I will attend to this matter right away. In such a conflict, no one will sit by and do nothing. Friends are always better than enemies."

Seeing that Song Xiaodong was not too proud to refuse help, Su Yuya secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as she had been really worried that he might not take the suggestion.

This gave Su Yuya another insight into Song Xiaodong; this man was neither rash nor impulsive, rather he knew how to leverage strengths, understanding priorities and urgencies—a person truly capable of achieving great things.

Song Xiaodong then said, "Yuya, go and contact the other families, I’ll pay a visit to the Sun family first and gauge the attitudes of the various households."

Su Yuya quickly responded, "Okay, I’ll get right on it."

At this moment, a family member came to report: "Family Head, the Patriarch of the Sun Family has come to visit."

Song Xiaodong laughed heartily, "Please invite him in! No, I’ll go to greet him personally."
