Chapter 250: Chapter 250: Siblings Meet, Return Home (Part 4) Chapter 250: Chapter 250: Siblings Meet, Return Home (Part 4) “Nangong Family?” Madam Sheng Yue snorted, “That Nangong Family is seeking death. With new grudges compounding old ones, how could I possibly let them off? Thus, the Nangong Family has already been destroyed by the Xiao Family. This time those old fellows actually didn’t say a word.”
As her words fell, she lifted her head to gaze at Ye Wuchen beside her, a satisfied smile appearing on her face, “So you are Ghost King Ye Wuchen? My precious daughter’s fiancé?”
Ye Wuchen flashed a charming smile and respectfully bowed to Madam Sheng Yue and Xiao Tianyu, “Son-in-law pays his respects to father-in-law and mother-in-law.”
The way he called her ‘mother-in-law’ brought a laughter from Madam Sheng Yue. However, Xiao Tianyu was somewhat displeased. His daughter had not been back for long, and already a brat had whisked her away. He had wanted to keep her for a few more years.
“Young man, although Yue’er hasn’t lived with us for many years, she is still our Xiao Family’s treasure. If you want to marry her, you must promise me a few things. First, you must not take concubines or have ambiguous relationships with other women in this lifetime. Second, you must not allow my daughter to feel sad or shed tears. If you dare make her cry or betray her, I will ensure she severs ties with you forever, and your regret will be in vain. Third, you must protect Yue’er’s life and not let her encounter any danger that could lead to her losing her life,” he said.
In fact, Xiao Tianyu was already being lenient with these words.
He understood that, given Mu Ruyue’s character, she didn’t need a man’s protection. Overprotecting her would only hinder her growth, which she wouldn’t want. Thus, he only mentioned that she should not face any life-threatening dangers.
As for injuries in battle, those were common occurrences.
However, Xiao Tianyu did wish he could keep her in the Xiao Family under his protection for a lifetime, never suffering a single injury. Yet, he understood that he could never bind this daughter forever.
Her heart was in the Central Province, and had not stayed in the Saint Realm…
“Lord father-in-law, please rest assured. Should I commit even the slightest wrong against Muer, I am willing to be forever childless and never again partake in the matters meant for men. My person and my heart belong only to Muer. Aside from her, if I spare another woman even a single glance, I would rather blind myself. Of course, that excludes our future daughters,” Ye Wuchen said.
The smile slowly faded from Ye Wuchen’s handsome face, his purple pupils filled with determination.
“She is the one I will protect for life. Even if I were to die, she must live on. I won’t ever do anything to make her sad. Lord father-in-law, you can confidently entrust her to me. I will use all I have to love and protect her,” he added.
Xiao Tianyu sighed, and though he was reluctant to see his daughter marry, he didn’t want to sour such a fine marriage prospect. The thought that his daughter would rarely return home after marriage filled him with reluctance.
“Father,” Mu Ruyue glanced at Ye Wuchen and smiled softly, “I forgot to tell you one thing. Wuchen is here to be a live-in son-in-law. Our wedding will be held in the Xiao Family, and likewise, we will only return to the Xiao Family thereafter.”
Xiao Tianyu was overjoyed, for this was undoubtedly wonderful news.
Perhaps it was Mu Ruyue’s words that reassured him, as he found himself increasingly satisfied with this prospective son-in-law, impatient to hasten their wedding.
As long as it was in the Xiao Family, everything would be easier.
Seeing that Xiao Tianyu changed his face faster than flipping a book, Ye Wuchen’s god-like features lifted into a faint smile. If he could please the father-in-law, being a live-in son-in-law wasn’t too bad…
