Celestial Night Emperor

Chapter 8: Chapter 8: We Are Now Husband and Wife

Inside the tent, Han Biwei still felt as if this were all a dream.

Niannian was right beside her, snuggled in her arms. ”Little Mom, Niannian’s here. Don’t be scared anymore.”

Han Biwei’s heart was filled with unease. What worried her most was the detestable Zhao Family.

Just then, her phone began to vibrate wildly. It was an unknown number.

She answered with a sense of dread.

A sinister voice came through the line. ”The Zhao Family won’t let a single person go. Not you, you bitch, and not that little bastard. Oh, right, and as for that guy surnamed Qin—my Zhao Family will tear him limb from limb!”

The call, filled with death threats, was quickly disconnected.

Han Biwei felt a chill run through her entire body. She hurriedly asked Niannian, ”What on earth happened at the wedding?”

Niannian shook her head. ”I don’t know either. Daddy must have chased the bad guys away.”

”That’s impossible!” Han Biwei’s face instantly went pale. ”He probably called the police, and that’s how he got me out. But that’s not enough. The Zhao Family could retaliate at any moment!”

Niannian was confused. ”Little Mom, why don’t you trust Daddy? I think he’s the bravest man in the whole world.”

”Sigh... Do you think the Zhao Family is that easy to deal with? Calling the police won’t help. The two of us aren’t safe, and especially not your father. The Zhao Family might kill him...”

At this thought, Han Biwei began to tremble.

’Niannian has already lost her mother. I can’t let this poor child lose her father, too.’

Han Biwei gritted her teeth and, after a long while, made a decision.

From beneath her wedding dress, she took out a marriage certificate. She had hidden it away, originally planning to find a way to destroy it when the time came.

The marriage certificate hadn’t been signed yet.

”Niannian, what’s your father’s name?”

”Um, Qin Tianxuan. Yes, that’s the name. Mommy told me and even taught me how to write it.”

There was no pen and ink in the tent, so Han Biwei raised her hand, bit her delicate finger until it bled, and wrote two names on the marriage certificate.

Qin Tianxuan and Han Biwei!

The tent flap lifted, and Qin Tianxuan walked in carrying two bowls of ginseng chicken soup, only to be met by this very scene.

”Miss Han, what are you doing?” he asked, frowning at the names on the marriage certificate.

”I’m doing this to save you!” Han Biwei said, hugging Niannian and biting her lip. ”To be honest with you, my Han Family has a bit of influence in Su City, and the Zhao Family has always wanted to establish a foothold there. We’re husband and wife now. Once you become the Han Family’s live-in son-in-law, I hope the Zhao Family will think twice!”

At this, she lifted her head and looked at him with a reproachful gaze. ”I don’t want Niannian to lose her father!”

Qin Tianxuan was speechless.

He put down the chicken soup, picked up the marriage certificate, and shook his head calmly. ”Shuanghua is gone. I swore to myself that I would never marry again. I’m sorry, but my wife was, and only ever will be, Ye Shuanghua!”

He raised his hand to tear it up, but Niannian grabbed his hand and snatched the marriage certificate away.

”Niannian...” Qin Tianxuan gave a wry smile. ”Stop fooling around.”

”No! I want Daddy and Little Mom to be together!” Niannian hid the marriage certificate, then pulled Han Biwei’s hand with one of her own and took Qin Tianxuan’s with the other.

Han Biwei’s face flushed red, while Qin Tianxuan looked completely helpless.

Just then, Niannian lowered her head. ”This way, I’ll have a daddy and a mommy again. Then people can’t say I’m a kid that nobody wants anymore!”

A tremor went through Qin Tianxuan’s heart. He reached out a trembling hand to stroke Niannian’s head, his eyes welling up with tears.

’Just how much injustice has my daughter suffered all these years!’

Looking at Niannian’s expectant expression, Qin Tianxuan gritted his teeth, then smiled and nodded. ”Alright! I promise you. But with your Aunt Han... it’ll just be a fake marriage for now. Is that okay?”

’It’s just a fake marriage certificate, anyway,’ he thought.

Niannian just smiled without a word. She was a clever little imp, thinking to herself, ’No matter what, I’m definitely going to get you two together for real.’

But Han Biwei was not pleased. She blushed and said, ”I should be the one saying that! You think I’m interested in you? Look at how down on your luck you are. You didn’t come looking for Niannian for all these years. Were you too ashamed to show up?”

Qin Tianxuan answered seriously, ”Over the years, I established a small organization with a few people under me. I retired from it later. I didn’t know about Niannian’s situation, so I was delayed until now.”

Han Biwei was speechless. ”Oh, so you started a small company and had a few employees? Did it go under? Never mind. I’ve been working while raising Niannian all these years. We’re doing just fine financially.”

She glanced at the tent again. ”You don’t even have a house, do you?”

Qin Tianxuan frowned. ”I want to watch over Shuanghua’s grave by Mirror Lake for a few days. The house isn’t an urgent matter. Once I’ve picked a good location, I’ll arrange it quickly.”

Han Biwei gently interrupted him. ”Don’t push yourself. You’re living in a tent out in the wilderness, and you’re talking about buying a house? I have some savings. When we get back to Su City, I’ll rent an apartment so you and Niannian can get settled. Then I’ll help you find a job.”

Qin Tianxuan fell silent.

’Some things were just impossible to explain to this kind, naive girl.’

’Besides, he didn’t want Han Biwei and Niannian to step into his terrifying Dark World.’

With this in mind, Qin Tianxuan stepped out of the tent and gave an order. ”Find a hotel nearby and arrange for Miss Han and Niannian to stay there. After we’ve handled matters here, we’ll choose a good location. Hmm, Miss Han is from Su City. It’s the top city in Southern County, with beautiful scenery. Not a bad choice.”

Venerable Yuan of the Intelligence Hall immediately bowed. ”Sir, the Prince of the God of Wealth Hall has already begun preparations. Since you have chosen Su City, I will have him come at once!”

The Prince of the God of Wealth Hall rushed over and bowed deeply. ”Sir, the Dongshen Group, the number one financial group in Su City, is one of the minor enterprises under your name. I will have Dongshen immediately acquire the top ten corporations in Su City and reorganize them.”

Arranging for the Sir’s future life under the name of the Dongshen Financial Group would be a prudent move.

Qin Tianxuan said casually, ”Go ahead. Just don’t let Niannian and Miss Han know about any of this. Do it discreetly.”

With that single sentence, the entire landscape of Southern County’s Su City was thrown into turmoil.

Ten major financial groups were reorganized in an instant, and the Dongshen Group abruptly became the number one conglomerate in all of Jiangnan!

And the identity of this conglomerate’s true owner became the biggest mystery in the business world of Da Xia!
