589: Big brother is not here

“Hmph, don't try that with me, Chen Xuan. You've been gone for so long, and then you show up with all these things, even hiding a way to leave this vast space, yet you haven't said anything until now. Tell me, do you still have me, your Sister-in-law, in your heart?”

Xia Chuwei bit her lower lip, her chest heaving violently, feeling both angry and wronged.

Shi Meitong stood by, looking at the tense atmosphere, feeling a bit lost. She quietly moved aside, wanting to reduce her presence.

Hmm, right now she was just Chen Xuan's Little Mei. Everything else could be put aside for now.

Seeing this, Chen Xuan quickly put on a flattering smile, taking a few steps forward, his Face full of ingratiation: “Sister-in-law, please don’t get angry. I was just delayed by something, you see. You are the most important person in my heart. How could I dare to forget you?”

Xia Chuwei snorted coldly and turned her head away: “Hmph, don’t try to sweet-talk me. If you really cared about me, you wouldn’t have disappeared for so long.” Although she said this, her tone had softened slightly.

After all, Chen Xuan had personally said she was the most important, right in front of Shi Meitong.

After a pause, Xia Chuwei continued: “Forget it, I won’t argue with you. Come to my house tomorrow. There are some things I need to have a good talk with you about. Don’t make excuses not to come again.”

After speaking, she glanced at Chen Xuan sideways, her eyes still holding some dissatisfaction, but more of it was anticipation.

“Ah, tomorrow?”

“What? Don’t want to go?” Xia Chuwei’s eyes turned dangerous.

“That’s not it, it’s just my elder brother he…”

“He and that guy named Duan Fei have an outing mission tomorrow!”

“What?! They have an outing mission and they’re not calling me?!” Chen Xuan immediately grew anxious, putting Xia Chuwei down and about to head out.

He still needed to go and mess things up with that outdoor matter, otherwise, Yu Guili would likely follow the original plot, and the people and strength around him would grow stronger and stronger.

“Chen Xuan! If you dare to walk out of this door today, you and I will be strangers from now on!” Seeing Chen Xuan wanting to leave, Xia Chuwei’s eyes instantly turned red.

You keep saying I’m the most important person to you, but as soon as you see a chance to go out, you immediately abandon me! Don't I have any Face?

Watching Xia Chuwei with red eyes, on the verge of tears, Chen Xuan’s heart tightened, and the foot he had just stepped out was forcefully pulled back.

“Alright, alright, Chu Wei, don’t be like this. It’s my fault, I was confused for a moment. I’m not leaving, I’m not going anywhere, okay?”

Xia Chuwei’s body trembled slightly, her voice tinged with a sob: “You only care about those messy things, and you don’t put me in your heart at all, and here I was, always thinking of you.”

“Chu Wei, no one can replace your place in my heart. Yu Guili having an outing mission and not calling me, that’s why I was anxious for a moment. But if this matter makes you sad and upset, I would be to blame even if I died ten thousand deaths.”

As Chen Xuan spoke, he gently wiped away the tears that were about to fall from Xia Chuwei’s eyes.

Shi Meitong watched silently from the side, feeling a bit uneasy, but she couldn't say anything.

‘Hmph, Xia Chuwei, you’re monopolizing Chen Xuan like this now, but when… when you beg for mercy, I won’t help you at all!’

Afterward, Chen Xuan pulled Xia Chuwei to sit on a chair and coaxed her softly: “Sister-in-law, don’t be angry anymore. Tomorrow I will definitely come to your house, accompany you well, and tell you everything that has happened recently.”

Xia Chuwei sniffled, looked up at Chen Xuan: “You’re not allowed to lie to me again, or I really won’t talk to you anymore.”

Chen Xuan nodded solemnly: “I will never break my word, I swear. If I break my promise, then let me…” Before he could finish, Xia Chuwei reached out and covered his mouth: “Bah, bah, bah, who wants you to make such a poisonous oath? You just need to do what you say.”

Seeing Xia Chuwei’s tears turn into a smile, the big stone in Chen Xuan’s heart finally fell.

It seemed that he absolutely had to get that one million Heaven's Mandate Value tomorrow. As for Yu Guili… forget it, even if he had some fortuitous encounter, he would bring it back. It was better to eat the meat by his mouth first.

Subsequently, the two chatted for a while longer, and then Xia Chuwei reluctantly left.

The next morning, Chen Xuan went to Yu Guili’s palace early and, after finding that he was indeed not there, only then did he come to Xia Chuwei’s place.

Sunlight streamed through the window into the room. Xia Chuwei wore a light pink dress, her hair softly falling over her shoulders, looking fresh and gentle.

When she saw Chen Xuan walk in, the corners of her mouth unconsciously curved upwards, her eyes full of smiles.

“You’re finally here. I thought you were going to break your word again,” Xia Chuwei said playfully, though her tone couldn’t hide her joy.

Chen Xuan smiled as he walked to her side and gently flicked her nose, “How could I? I’ll definitely do what I promised you. Look, I even brought you a little gift.” As he spoke, he took out an exquisite small box from behind him and handed it to Xia Chuwei.

Xia Chuwei’s eyes lit up, and she eagerly opened the box. Inside was a beautiful necklace, with a sparkling crystal pendant.

“Wow, it’s so beautiful!” she exclaimed, her Face beaming with a happy smile.

With her current Realm and status, she actually wouldn't care about these things at all. What she cared about was who gave her this item.

“Do you like it?” Chen Xuan looked at her, his eyes full of doting affection.

“I like it, of course I like it! As long as it’s from you, I like it!” Xia Chuwei looked up, her eyes sparkling.

“Really?” Chen Xuan suddenly hugged her.

“Then I’ll give you a treasure, do you want it?”

“Treasure? What treasure?”

“It’s literally…”

“Get out of here! This, how is this possible?! I’m already a half-step Immortal King now, how could I still have… that kind of thing!” Xia Chuwei lightly punched Chen Xuan.

“Hahaha, oh right, you said yesterday you had something to tell me, what was it?” Chen Xuan suddenly remembered and asked curiously.

Xia Chuwei’s Face flushed slightly upon hearing this, and she hesitated for a moment: “Actually… it’s not a big deal, I just wanted to spend more time with you, to talk.”

“And then…”

“And then what?”

“And then it’s about the treasure pearl you gave me last time… I think I’ve figured out how to use it!” Xia Chuwei’s Face was completely red.

“Oh?” Chen Xuan’s expression was subtle.

“However, this, the function of this treasure pearl, needs to be told to you inside the secret room… only then!” Xia Chuwei grew even more shy.

“Alright, then I’ll see how you know how to use a treasure that even I don’t know how to use!” Chen Xuan said, directly scooping Xia Chuwei up by her waist and, with practiced ease, entered the secret room, as if it were his own home.

As soon as they entered the secret room, Xia Chuwei broke free from Chen Xuan, her Face flushed with shyness, and went to the bedside. She picked up a box from the bedside, and inside was indeed the grape treasure pearl Chen Xuan had given her!
