"It’s fine, just do as she requests. After all, she is a member of the Gu Family, maybe the Dragon King will be interested in this business. Don’t forget, right after the Young Madam of the Gu family blew our cover last time, Dragon King took over Chengbei. In a way, Su Xiaofeng can also be considered a matchmaker for Dragon King, who is known for his loyalty." Wolfman flashed a dark smile, leaving his following words unsaid.
"Master, it’s because you’re brilliant," Feifei had no doubts upon hearing her master’s words.
As long as Su Xiaofeng made this request, given the Dragon King’s loyal nature, he would definitely agree. So now, all she had to do was to convey Su Xiaofeng’s intentions to Dragon King.
"You handle this matter."
Lan Shuixian stepped out of the dance hall and glanced at the place she had just entered, then looked at Xiaofeng: "Xiaofeng, from the way they talk, your status seems quite impressive. You’re married, and you’ve even had a baby. It’s amazing how none of that shows—I thought you were still unmarried like me."
She had listened in a daze but roughly grasped the content.
"If you didn’t ask, of course, I wouldn’t say."
Lan Shuixian chuckled. She and Su Xiaofeng had a longer chat today; previously, they would just briefly chat about the weather and then part ways.
"So, it seems like you’ve harvested both in family and career. I’m really envious. Actually, I also dream of having my own baby, but I think in the future if I meet a man I like, I will marry him, and then surely have my own baby, don’t you think?"
Every woman has a dream of motherhood, and she was no exception.
"Definitely." Xiaofeng hailed a cab and returned to where they had boarded the car earlier. Lan Shuixian waved goodbye to Xiaofeng.
"Dragon Lord, you must have heard of the Young Madam of the Gu Family. She grew up in the countryside and later returned to the Quan Family, intending to marry into the Gu Family. But before her wedding with the young master of Gu could take place, he got into trouble. I heard he’s bedridden now, turned into a vegetative state. She intends to establish a factory in Chengbei, but she doesn’t have enough manpower there, and wants to borrow some from us. She’s from the Gu Family, so naturally, I must be cautious in lending people."
Feifei paused, gave the other party a glance, her crimson lips curling more seductively than before, "Dragon Lord, I think she’s daydreaming, wants us to slip up, and aims to take us down in one fell swoop. Such a cunning woman, I don’t think there’s any need to cooperate, what do you say?"
Of course, Feifei couldn’t say that she was the one who approached Su Xiaofeng first.
Dragon King didn’t even glance at Feifei, his voice impassive, "What you want to do to her, I’m not interested. However, the fact that she wants to establish a factory in Chengbei does interest me."
The meaning behind Dragon King’s words was clear—he understood their implications, but he didn’t want to know what they intended to do.
"Dragon Lord, won’t you reconsider? You just took over the powers in Chengbei. If Su Xiaofeng senses that your influence in Chengbei is strong, it won’t be good for you. You know her—always seeking great achievements. At that time, she will surely call the police, and might even ensnare us all."
"I really want to cooperate with her, so what do I have to fear? Of course, if you don’t want to take this risk, you don’t have to be involved. I can partner with her alone."
"Since Dragon Lord agrees, we have no reason to disagree." Feifei smiled: "Then I will set up a time with the Young Madam of the Gu Family, and we can all discuss the details of the cooperation and get to know each other better."
Dragon King’s expression remained wooden, and he did not speak again.
Feifei thought to herself, the Dragon King’s silence was probably his tacit agreement.
In the evening, Xiaofeng played with Erbao for a while before returning to her room. Just out of the bath, she was startled by a towering figure blocking her way.
Xiaofeng, drying her hair with a towel, looked up at the man who had come home early today: "You’re back early today?"
Ye Cheng took the towel from her hand and began to dry her hair: "You’re planning to build a factory in Chengbei?"
"I was just thinking about it. That woman who almost fell into your arms the other day came to see me. She had probably guessed I was sure to build a factory and wanted to cooperate."
Ye Cheng didn’t respond, listening to her continue.
"I figured you’re not reclaiming your identity because you have serious matters to attend to. I might as well cooperate with them outright. Who knows, it might even uncover some plot twists you haven’t found. Of course, we can’t keep meeting only at night . I’m your wife, and you’re my husband; I should find a way to work with you openly, right?"
