Celestial Night Emperor

Chapter 40: Chapter 40: Weiwei’s Former Fiancé?

Chen Hai handled the matter swiftly and decisively, ultimately appointing himself as the principal of Tianjiao Primary School.

In his capacity as the nominal principal, he immediately convened a school-wide assembly and sternly addressed the situation.

Then, he went to the principal’s office and processed Qin Niannian’s enrollment with the utmost speed.

It was already in compliance with regulations and fell under the policy for exceptional talents, so everything went smoothly.

Once everything was settled, Chen Hai inquired and learned that Qin Tianxuan and Wutian had already gone to Teacher Wang’s apartment. He also heard that the other two parents were there as well.

So, Governor Chen personally carried the three admission notices and went to Teacher Wang’s apartment.

He felt deeply ashamed and wanted to apologize in person to Teacher Wang and the parents.

Meanwhile, the apartment was filled with cheerful laughter, as everyone inside had already received the good news from outside.

The two aggrieved parents were now in high spirits, pressing their palms together and repeatedly chanting ”Chen Qingtian.”

”Governor Chen is truly a man of justice! Such a high-ranking official handled this personally. My child can finally go to school, WAHHH...”

”That’s right! I have to tell my family when I get back. We must send a silk banner to Governor Chen.”

Wutian’s voice cut in, ”Actually, this is all thanks to our Master.”

Inside, Han Biwei smiled. ”You two did a good thing by reporting it, but it was really Governor Chen who was just and decisive. My parents have even said that ever since Governor Chen arrived, the whole atmosphere in Su City has improved.”

Outside the door, Chen Hai grew even more ashamed.

Qin Tianxuan also spoke up. ”We just put in a word, it’s not some great achievement. Since Chen Hai is so capable and has a good reputation, let’s spare him this time.”

Han Biwei was speechless. ”Who do you think you are? Some high-ranking official from the Imperial Capital?”

The atmosphere inside was cheerful.

But Chen Hai felt too embarrassed to go in.

He waited for a long time until Wutian happened to come out. Wutian frowned upon seeing him.

”This was my subordinate’s error, I will give you a personal report later. These are the admission notices for Niannian and the other two children. Please pass them to the Master,” Chen Hai said with his head lowered, his face pale.

Wutian replied coldly, ”Fine. Go back and handle this matter properly. Our Master just said he’d spare you, but if there’s a next time... I, Wutian, will be the first to not let you off!”

After sending Chen Hai away, Wutian brought the admission notices inside, and the people in the room became even more joyous.

”Madam, it’s getting late. Shall we head back?” Wutian asked.

Han Biwei was very happy now and grateful to Wutian. ”Thank you for everything today, too. But I really can’t stand you always calling me ’Madam.’ Since you’re Tianxuan’s brother, don’t be so formal.”

Wutian didn’t quite dare.

Qin Tianxuan made a gesture. ”From now on, everyone calls her ’sister-in-law’!”

Ah!

’Is the Master really together with Miss Han?’

Wutian was overjoyed. He snapped to attention, shouted a resounding ”Sister-in-law!” and then stepped out to send the good news to the Night Emperor’s subordinates in their group chat.

All the subordinates rejoiced for Qin Tianxuan.

Ever since Madam Ye Shuanghua’s passing, the Master had been lonely for so long. Now, he finally had someone thoughtful to care for him.

Back inside, Teacher Wang was also incredibly excited and decided on the spot to return to her teaching position.

”Leave Niannian to me. I’ll take a regular class at the school, and I will definitely be strict with her!”

Ah! Han Biwei was ecstatic. ”Teacher, that’s wonderful! I’ll feel so much more at ease.”

Qin Tianxuan, however, stood up directly. Filled with infinite respect and gratitude, he bowed to the white-haired elder. ”My daughter... I’ll have to trouble you to look after her from now on, Teacher.”

Teacher Wang laughed. ”You kid... you and Weiwei really are a pair, always bowing at the drop of a hat. What’s with all the formality? I’ll watch over her like my own granddaughter!”

A warmth spread through Qin Tianxuan’s heart. He bowed deeply once more, then straightened up and said to Wutian, ”From now on, Teacher Wang is my adoptive mother. All of you, remember this!”

With everyone overjoyed, a relaxed Han Biwei walked out hand in hand with Qin Tianxuan.

Night had fallen outside, and a bright moon hung high in the sky.

The brilliant streets, the bright neon lights—everything was so beautiful.

”Brother Tianxuan, look at the sky in our Su City. It’s so clear,” Han Biwei said, filled with a beautiful vision for the future, and couldn’t help but lean against his shoulder.

Qin Tianxuan also looked up at the moon and stars, but his thoughts turned to the war in the Northern Domain.

His brow furrowed, and he let out a soft sigh.

”Brother Tianxuan, what are you sighing for? Oh, look, there’s so much street food over here! This was my favorite when I was a kid.”

Qin Tianxuan roused his spirits and led Weiwei into the food street.

This was one of the few moments of relaxation he had enjoyed in years. The two took photo booth pictures, rode a toy car around the pedestrian street several times like children, and finally sat on a stone bench, eating pan-fried buns from Deyue Building, chicken feet from Three Treasures Hall, and cherry pork from Songhe Building.

Han Biwei had never been this happy. She took out a tissue, gently wiped the corner of his mouth, and said in a sweet voice, ”Let’s work hard and save up, buy a big house, and settle down right here. I’ll take you to eat all the best food in Su City.”

Qin Tianxuan looked at her eyes, which were full of tenderness, but his thoughts turned to Shuanghua again, and his expression dimmed for a moment.

But in this perfect, beautiful moment, a cell phone rang urgently.

It was Han Biwei’s phone. She answered with a smile, ”Mom, we’re coming back soon. I bought lots of snacks for you... Ah! What? People from the Gu Family are there?”

She flared up instantly. ”Tell the people from the Gu Family to get lost!”

On the other end of the line, Jiang Wan Jun sounded anxious. ”I know it was a long time ago, before you got sick, but you were engaged to them, after all. Now that they’ve shown up at our door, we should at least hear what they have to say. You should come back right away, by yourself. Don’t let Tianxuan find out about this, it’s too embarrassing...”

Han Biwei stood there, looking completely devastated.

Qin Tianxuan had already stood up, holding the snacks. ”I heard that. Your former fiancé?”

Han Biwei bit her lip. ”It was a long time ago. Later, when I got sick and was on the verge of death, the Gu Family considered me bad luck. They didn’t even bother to see me and broke off the engagement directly. The truth is, I’ve never even met that Young Master Gu.”

Qin Tianxuan gently draped his jacket over her shoulders, his tone calm. ”You don’t have to say another word. If the Gu Family wants to renew the engagement, I’ll reject it for you! If the Gu Family wants to cause trouble, then I’ll annihilate them for you! My dear girl, I hope you can always be as happy and joyful as you are tonight.”
