44: Honey, let's get down to business.

Although Short for Ning Fengya was usually unreasonable, tyrannical, cold-hearted, glaring, and arrogant... but!

When it came to protecting her own, she never hesitated.

Zhao Yunsou's face turned alternately green and white after being rebuffed by Short for Ning Fengya.

If it were normally, he would have long since exploded in anger, flipped the table, and forced himself upon her.

But at this moment, in order to leave a good impression on the woman he desired, Zhao Yunsou chose to swallow his anger.

He could ignore Short for Ning Fengya's cold words, but he could not tolerate the humiliation from a useless Live-in Son-in-law.

"Kid, I'll say what I said before!"

"If you dare lay a finger on Sister Fengya, I will definitely make you regret coming into this world!" Zhao Yunsou glared fiercely at Lin Du.

Zhao Yunsou had coveted Short for Ning Fengya's family background and beauty for a long time.

Even if he couldn't have her right now, he would absolutely not allow Short for Ning Fengya to bear someone else's child!

Zhao Yunsou tried to use his identity to pressure and threaten Lin Du, forcing Lin Du to back down, but he underestimated Lin Du's character and even more so, Short for Ning Fengya's determination to protect her own.

"Zhao Yunsou, the Ning Family is not a place for you to act presumptuously!"

"If you rely on your status to bully Lin Du, then bring it on, and let's see whether it is you or Lin Du who ends up regretting it!"

"The Ning Family doesn't mind tearing things up with your Zhao Family!"

Short for Ning Fengya displayed the forceful demeanor of the mistress of the house, and her merciless words caused Zhao Yunsou's expression to shift repeatedly.

Zhao Yunsou desperately suppressed the anger in his heart, "Sister Fengya, this usele—"

"Wait!"

Zhao Yunsou was cut off mid-sentence when Lin Du suddenly stepped forward.

"Young Master Zhao, could you stop calling her Sister Fengya every time you open your mouth? Is that a name you're allowed to call her?"

"Baby Fengya, Little Cutie Fengya, Sister Fengya... these are all terms of endearment I use for my wife. As one of the magnificent four young masters of the divine dragon country, isn't this kind of nonsense inappropriate?"

What audacity!

Short for Ning Fengya looked at Lin Du, who was speaking eloquently beside her, and a hint of surprise flashed in her beautiful eyes.

On the other hand.

Lin Du's blatant humiliation made Zhao Yunsou's rage completely uncontrollable.

Not only was he humiliated by Lin Du, but he was humiliated right in front of Short for Ning Fengya.

The damage was instantly doubled!!

Zhao Yunsou had lived for so long and had never been humiliated like this; which member of the younger generation didn't treat him with utmost respect and courtesy?

"Lin Du! I hope you never step outside the Ning Family gates!"

"If you dare step out of the Ning Family Villa, This Young Master will surely take your dog life!"

Killing intent surged around Zhao Yunsou, and he looked at Lin Du as if he were looking at a dead man.

What astonished Zhao Yunsou and Short for Ning Fengya was that after Zhao Yunsou's threat, Lin Du did not verbally retaliate but instead nodded seriously.

"If I don't leave, I don't leave. What's the big deal!"

"Hmph!"

Short for Ning Fengya: ... Zhao Yunsou: "You bastard, are you even a man anymore!!"

Zhao Yunsou was completely broken. Short for Ning Fengya impatiently waved her hand, and Bodyguards immediately rushed out, escorting Zhao Yunsou out of the Ning Family Villa... The farce ended just like that, with Zhao Yunsou forcibly driven out of the Ning Family by Short for Ning Fengya.

Perhaps others might fear the power behind Zhao Yunsou, but Short for Ning Fengya wouldn't worry about it so much.

Not long after Zhao Yunsou left, Ning Fengnian appeared in a rush.

"Short for Ning Fengya, where is Young Master Zhao?"

Short for Ning Fengya glanced outside the door, "I drove him away."

Ning Fengnian's eyebrows shot up upon hearing this. He was about to reprimand her, but Short for Ning Fengya spoke before he could.

"Don't bring just any stray cat or dog home in the future!"

"It ruins my mood!"

After speaking, before Ning Fengnian could react, Short for Ning Fengya dragged Lin Du toward the bedroom.

"Let's go, back to the room to sleep!"

...Inside the bedroom.

Short for Ning Fengya sat on the bed with her arms crossed over her chest and her legs crossed, examining Lin Du.

"Lin Du, you truly have quite a nerve."

"If you weren't currently in the Ning Family, Zhao Yunsou could have killed you 100 times just for those few words you said!"

"Aren't you afraid of death?"

In the corner of the room, Lin Du curled up like a wronged young wife.

"Wife, of course I'm afraid of dying, but I just don't want Zhao Yunsou to harbor malicious intentions toward you."

"Didn't Zhao Yunsou say that I'd be fine as long as I stay in the Ning Family? At worst, I just won't leave the Ning Family from now on."

The expression on Lin Du's face was aggrieved and pitiful, a mixture of fear and stubbornness.

Short for Ning Fengya frowned slightly, "Alright, then you stay put in the Ning Family and go get down to business!"

Hearing the phrase "get down to business," Lin Du instantly brightened up.

He shook off his slump, his entire being revitalized!

Was this day finally here?

Lin Du secretly glanced at Short for Ning Fengya's curvaceous and sexy figure, subconsciously licking his lips.

"Baby, here I come~"

He quickly stripped off his shirt, revealing his sharply defined upper body, and a strong hormonal scent surged out... Just as Lin Du was about to take off his pants, Short for Ning Fengya on the bed suddenly glared fiercely at him.

"What are you doing!"

Short for Ning Fengya's cold voice made Lin Du instinctively stop his movements.

"Uh..."

"Wife, getting down to business!"

"Didn't you just say we were going back to the room to have a baby?"

Short for Ning Fengya's vision went dark, and she subconsciously clenched her fists.

"The business I meant was for you to go cook!"

"What are you thinking!!"

Lin Du was stunned.

Cooking can be called getting down to business?

What about the baby we agreed on? I was about to take off my pants, and you tell me this?

Constrained by Short for Ning Fengya's dominating influence, Lin Du reluctantly chose to compromise.

"Got it, Wife, I'll go prepare right away."

Short for Ning Fengya nodded expressionlessly.

"Make sure the nutrition is balanced when you cook lately, and you should also supplement your own nutrition."

"In half a month, I'll have the family doctor give you a physical exam..."

Short for Ning Fengya's words made Lin Du see hope again.

Lin Du happily rushed toward the kitchen... After dinner, Short for Ning Fengya entered the game early.

After Lin Du confirmed it was safe, he locked the door and also entered the game.

It was past nine o'clock in the evening, and Lin Du appeared under the old tree next to the Qin Kings Underground Palace Instance.

As soon as Lin Du appeared, he was startled by the surrounding scene; the forest, which had barely anyone in the afternoon, was now densely packed with players.

The number of players around was so great that they stretched as far as the eye could see.

Tonight was the first settlement of the Qin Kings Underground Palace Instance, and many players came here to join the excitement, wanting to see who would ultimately ascend the throne.

Lin Du's sudden appearance attracted the attention of many surrounding players.

"Holy crap!"

"Brothers, Night Ember is here!"

"I saw the real thing."
