The City’s Strongest Son-in-law

Shen Hanxue couldn’t help but laugh, quickly saying to the manager, ”Don’t mind him, he just loves messing around.”

The manager, on hearing this, was almost in tears—such words could only be said by Shen Hanxue; he didn’t have the courage to agree.

”Wife, we’re out in public. Shouldn’t you give me some face?” Su Changfeng said with a look of grievance.

Unexpectedly, Shen Hanxue really thought about it seriously, then looked at the manager and asked, ”Do you think I should give him some face?”

The manager felt a shiver run down his spine. Why drag him into their flirting banter? If he accidentally said the wrong thing, how could he survive in the future?

”Miss Shen, please go ahead and order. I’ll just be waiting outside. If you need anything, just let me know.” With these words, he hurriedly left without waiting for Shen Hanxue’s response.

Shen Hanxue’s eyes were filled with laughter as she looked at Su Changfeng and said, ”See how scared you made him.”

”Is that my fault? Wife, I think you’re getting naughtier by the day. Believe it or not, I’ll deal with you tonight,” Su Changfeng threatened.

Shen Hanxue blinked at him and said, ”Hmph, I’m not messing around with you tonight. I’m going back to spend time with Niannian. You can take care of putting the little girl to sleep.”

Su Changfeng nodded. He would be setting off for Tuo Shi tomorrow, and who knew when they would meet again. He was happy to spend more time with Niannian.

After they ordered, the couple started their public display of affection, exchanging glances and feeding each other, leaving the nearby staff feeling a bit overwhelmed.

”What? Earlier they said Shen Hanxue was cheating. Isn’t that a joke?”

”Yeah, who cheats like this?”

”It’s definitely a rumor. We have to be careful not to say it again; if they hear it, we’re done for.”

”The guy is handsome, the woman is beautiful—they’re a perfect match.”

Ye Family Villa.

In the kitchen, Chen Qingqing and her mother were tidying up when Zhao Xiaona asked, ”Are you leaving again this time after returning?”

”Yes.” Chen Qingqing nodded. She understood what Su Changfeng was going to do, so she knew he wouldn’t stay in Jiang City for long.

Zhao Xiaona couldn’t help but sigh, looking at Chen Qingqing with some reluctance, ”Even though I don’t want you to leave, I feel more at ease knowing you’ll be there to take care of Su Changfeng. But you have to keep an eye on him and make sure he doesn’t do anything he shouldn’t. He has a wife and child now, and he must take care of himself first no matter what he does.”

Chen Qingqing inwardly smiled bitterly, knowing that Su Changfeng would soon be heading to the Outer Domain, which was a dangerous venture.

However, she could understand that although it was dangerous, it was indeed something that needed to be done, and she could understand his choice.

”Mom, don’t worry. I’ll make sure he’s careful. But aren’t you a bit too concerned about Brother Changfeng? Aren’t you worried that I’ll get jealous?” Chen Qingqing pretended to be angry.

”What he has done for us is far beyond what we could ever repay. What’s wrong with being concerned about him? Without him, who knows where we’d be today,” Zhao Xiaona, always grateful, had been trying to take care of everyone in the Ye Family.

”Yes, if it weren’t for Brother Changfeng, we wouldn’t have such a stable life now,” Chen Qingqing said.

”Qingqing.” Zhao Xiaona suddenly looked at Chen Qingqing with a serious expression.

Seeing Zhao Xiaona like this, Chen Qingqing knew she probably had something important to tell her, so she waited silently for further instructions.

”If Changfeng is in danger, will you protect him?” Zhao Xiaona asked.

”Mom, I will. I’ll stand in front of him,” Chen Qingqing replied firmly.

Tears welled up in Zhao Xiaona’s eyes as she said, ”I know, this is unfair to you. But the kindness he has shown us is something we can never repay. As a human being, you must understand repayment. We have nothing else to repay with, but if it ever comes to that point, you must protect him even if it means your life.”

Chen Qingqing walked over and gently wiped Zhao Xiaona’s tears, saying, ”Mom, don’t worry. If things truly come to that point, I will definitely protect him.”

”Qingqing, I’m sorry for you. If there is a next life, I will repay you well,” Zhao Xiaona’s tears flowed even more. This was her child; how could she not feel heartache?

However, Su Changfeng’s safety was paramount to her; he had changed their lives, and they had no other way to repay him but this.

”Mom, you haven’t wronged me. If there really is a next life, I’d still want to be your daughter, and then I’ll be filial to you.”

For a while, the mother and daughter wept silently.

Outside the kitchen, Ji Hong wiped her eyes. She was initially helping wash bottles for Niannian, but she happened to overhear the conversation, and her face was moved.

This group of deeply affectionate people, with emotions Ji Hong had never felt in the prestigious Ye Family in Beijing, just an ordinary mother and daughter, could take gratitude so seriously. Compared to the cold, heartless Beijing where only interests mattered, this place indeed felt heartwarming.

Su Changfeng and Shen Hanxue returned to the villa very late, and the little girl Ye Nianhai was already asleep.

The couple carried Ye Nianhai back to her room, watching the little girl sleeping sweetly, with gentle smiles in their eyes.

The family of three stayed together quietly, as if it was the greatest happiness in the world.

Su Changfeng held the little girl all night, unwilling to let go, even though he didn’t sleep at all, he was still spirited the next day.

In the early morning, Ye Qingtian called Su Changfeng to the backyard. Shen Hanxue’s health was no longer an issue, and the matters in Jiang City were fully resolved, so Ye Qingtian wanted to ask when Su Changfeng planned to leave.

”I’m leaving today.” Upon hearing this, Su Changfeng said decisively. Honestly, he was also reluctant to leave so soon, but Elder Wu had also said that energy fluctuations from the Outer Domain were getting stronger, and there was no time to delay.

”So soon?” Ye Qingtian couldn’t help but frown.

”Yes, there’s still something very important to do, and it can’t be delayed,” Su Changfeng said.

”Is it dangerous?” Ye Qingtian asked.

”Yes.”

”Is there a risk to your life?”

”Yes.”

Ye Qingtian couldn’t help but shake his head, but he didn’t say much more. He understood Su Changfeng’s nature—once he made a decision, he wouldn’t change it easily.

”Then you must be very careful. No matter what danger you encounter, don’t forget that Shen Hanxue and Ye Nianhai are waiting for you in Jiang City.” Ye Qingtian said.

”Grandpa, don’t worry. I will definitely come back safely.” Su Changfeng said with a determined look.

Ye Qingtian patted Su Changfeng on the shoulder, saying, ”Grandpa knows you can do it. Everyone in Jiang City is waiting for you.”
