Chapter 948: Chapter 952: Living Up to Expectations
Rose was feeling a bit sulky too—Xia Liu had been gone for almost three months without even bothering to make a single phone call.
When he cos back, he’s definitely getting a lesson in manners. What does he think? That we sisters have no tempers?
“I second this idea,” Gu Fangxia raised her delicate hand and said.
“It’s a decent proposal, but how exactly should we teach him a lesson?”
As soon as Fang Fei brought this up, the other three won fell silent.
Xia Liu was so ridiculously strong it was almost absurd.
No matter the skill, none of them could compete against him.
That old saying about “a tired ox breaking no fertile field” didn’t apply here—not with Xia Liu.
“How about this: when we hear he’s about to co back, we just retreat to the deep mountains to cultivate—let him stew in his own worry!”
“Xue’er, your idea is really amusing, but what if he catches us?”
“What else can we do? Just toss the salad and carry on…”
…
“Pfft… hahaha…”
Just as the four won were gleefully deliberating over their plan.
The sound of chuckling drifted in from outside the office.
Upon hearing the laugh they’d dread of day and night, the four won froze in place.
Crack.
Then, the office door swung open. A slim figure strolled inside leisurely.
“Ladies, where exactly were you all planning to run off to?”
Xia Liu grinned at Fang Fei and the others.
“Xia Liu!”
After their brief separation, upon seeing Xia Liu for the first ti in months, the four won were utterly stunned.
They felt as if their bodies were nailed to the floor—unable to move even an inch due to the overwhelming excitent and joy swelling in their hearts.
“That’s right! I returned without letting you down!”
Xia Liu opened his arms wide and walked toward the won, wrapping all of them in a big hug.
“You scoundrel! You’ve been gone for so long and couldn’t even bother to let us know you were safe!”
“And then you go and do this—trying to make people cry with happiness?”
“Exactly! Coming back without warning—what, did you want to scare us to death?”
“I’m going to hamr you to death, you little fiend!”
…
The won exchanged glances before they began playfully pounding Xia Liu with their delicate fists.
Facing these harmless punches, Xia Liu’s grin grew even brighter.
It was his fault—he hadn’t shared anything with the ladies to avoid raising suspicions from Guo Man.
This ti, he ca back intending to surprise them.
It seed he’d succeeded, albeit only slightly.
“By the way, you said you didn’t let us down—does that an you managed to acquire the Youth Preserving Pill?”
Both Fang Fei and Gu Fangxia were deeply curious, as their age was considered among the older tier within the sisterhood.
If they didn’t acquire such a heaven-defying pill to preserve their looks, a few years down the line, they’d age visibly.
Such a thought was terrifying.
Rose and Huang Xue’s eyes quivered as they stared at Xia Liu. The Youth Preserving Pill was sothing they deeply yearned for as well.
It could be said that all won aspired to keep their youthful beauty.
To remain bright and radiant every single day.
“Of course I got it. But let’s wait until tonight when everyone’s present for the sacred unveiling ceremony,” Xia Liu replied.
“Wow! I knew you could do it!”
“You’re amazing, bro!”
“Respect, oh mighty one!”
“Brother Xia Liu really is terrifyingly capable!”
Upon Xia Liu’s confirmation, the four won broke into joyful enthusiasm.
Although they tried their best to hide their excitent.
They decided to wait until nightfall to celebrate the event alongside the other sisters properly.
“Hehe, before heading back, let
introduce soone to you first.”
Noticing it was the perfect ti, Xia Liu chuckled softly.
“Now this is interesting. Could it be a future sister?”
“I’m thinking the sa as Xue’er.”
“That’s amazing! Another sister to share responsibilities!”
…
“Shh, don’t scare her, you guys…”
…
“Yanzi, bring Little Man inside.”
Once the won had composed themselves, Xia Liu relayed instructions using Divine Consciousness Sound Transmission.
Before long, two figures stepped into view.
The mont they saw Guo Man, the four won stared in shock.
“My heavens! It’s Little Man!”
“Unbelievable! Truly incredible!”
The instant they recognized Guo Man, Fang Fei and the others grew visibly excited.
They all rembered her profile clearly.
It had noted that Guo Man didn’t fancy the company of n and had a proud, aloof nature.
Yet Xia Liu was extraordinary—he actually managed to bring her back ho!
An astonishing feat!
Upon hearing her na called out by Fang Fei and the others, Guo Man felt quite surprised, letting her gaze shift toward Xia Liu.
This guy better provide a satisfactory explanation—or else, he’s dead!
“Little Man, let
introduce you. This is Fang Fei, also known as Sister Fang; that’s Gu Fangxia, or Sister Gu…”
After Xia Liu finished introductions, Guo Man shyly nodded and smiled, “Hello, ladies, I’m Guo Man. Feel free to call
Little Man.”
“Oh my! Little Man, co here and let
take a good look at you—so pretty!”
“How on earth do you keep your skin this flawless? Absolutely incredible!”
“I’m so envious! I wish I could be this gorgeous too!”
…
Following introductions, Fang Fei and the others imdiately stepped forward and took Guo Man by the hand.
All their remarks revolved around admiration and envy toward Guo Man.
The flurry of attention made Guo Man blush bright red.
Indeed, as Xia Liu had assured her, his wives were all incredibly kindhearted and got along wonderfully.
Still, she felt slightly uneasy; after all, she wasn’t entirely perfect.
In terms of looks, she felt she was on par with these newly acquainted sisters.
That was her perspective.
Among them, Huang Xue and Rose radiated the epito of youthful charm.
anwhile, Fang Fei and Gu Fangxia exuded a mature elegance beneath their radiance.
Each had their own unique appeal.
“Alright, ladies, at this rate, she won’t even know how to respond—don’t scare Little Man now.”
“How could Little Man be as shy as you’re making her out to be?”
“We’re just being friendly.”
“Little Man, ignore him—let him stew in his own awkwardness.”
…
As a seasoned company leader, Guo Man knew how to handle different types of people.
Yet around Xia Liu, she felt entirely inexperienced, leaving her bashful and reserved.
Perhaps with ti and familiarity, she’d manage better.
Her initial worry was morizing everyone’s nas and faces.
Getting them wrong would be terribly embarrassing.
A half hour later, Xia Liu suggested heading ho.
The won insisted he go ahead without them.
They planned to take Guo Man shopping in the county for fresh ingredients before throwing a celebratory feast that evening!
Faced with this decision, Xia Liu could only leave reluctantly.
His next destination was the county office.
From Fang Fei, he’d learned Li Qianqian had been aiding Li Zhong consistently since earlier this year.
Once the county redevelopnt project wrapped up, Li Zhong was expected to retire.
Being able to oversee such a monuntal project made Li Zhong’s career well worth the effort.
After asking around, Xia Liu finally pinpointed Li Zhong and Li Qianqian’s exact location.
The two of them were currently in a conference room hosting a eting.
Interestingly, the conference room door was wide open.
Nurous county staff mbers were seated within the spacious eting hall.
Xia Liu quietly snuck inside, found an empty seat, and listened intently to Li Qianqian, who was speaking earnestly at the front.
She appeared to have slimd down quite a bit.
But her energy was remarkable; her presentation was captivating, keeping everyone fully engaged and furiously taking notes.
“Hey, you in the back—what’s going on? Where’s your notebook?”
