Chapter 3 – Marry Me?


“Ahh


Xiao Lingxi shouted and jumped back like a frightened rabbit. Her fingers touched her numb lips as her beautiful eyes widened in surprise and a touch of red color quickly spread from her pretty face to her nape, “You.. You... You kissed me again !!”


“You have the same reaction as usual.” The innocent face of Xiao Che had a heartbroken expression on his face, “When we were kids, we always played your favorite kissing game. Lately, you've been in shock every time I tried to kiss you. "


“Y-you... You knew that when we were kids!” Xiao Lingxi's face was flushed into a red rose color, “We are now adults and can't mess around! You ... You'll have a wife soon! In the future you can only kiss your wife! ”


"Why…"


“Because I'm your little aunt!” Xiao Lingxi stomped her feet as she was out of breath.


"Then…. What should I do if I want to kiss you? ” While smiling mischievously, Xiao Che placed his hand under his chin. The adorable fifteen-year-old girl before him did not have the slightest precaution of a "little aunt".


“Then...you must marry me!” Xiao Lingxi raised her nose in anger.


"Hey! You're my aunt, how can I marry you…. ” Xiao Che said with his voice lowered as his eyes widened.


“Even you know that! If you dare steal another kiss, I'll let your wife know and let her handle you. Hmph! Xiao Lingxi looked at him triumphantly, with her nose raised.


Xiao Hong's voice came from outside once again, “Young Master, are you ready? It's time to pick up the bride. "


“Ya, I'm out now.” Xiao Che looked at his current clothes, and prepared to leave. After two steps, Xiao Lingxi grabbed his hand and said with a serious face, Little “Che! Before leaving, repeat the promise we made yesterday, word for word, or I won't let you go. ”


Promise yesterday? Xiao Che thought for a moment and could not help but say, “Alright…. After marrying Xia Qingyue, I will not forget little aunt just because I have a wife. I will spend the same amount of time with the little aunt as before, I will listen to the call of the little aunt and will arrive as soon as I am called as before… I don't think I forgot a word. ”


"Hehe, what a good boy." Xiao Lingxi smiled sweetly but did not let go of Xiao Che's hand, “However, we will add one more hand today, which I forgot yesterday…. Although Xia Qingyue will be your wife, she cannot surpass me in your heart! Repeat that now, hurry, hurry! ”


Xiao Che looked into her beautiful eyes and said, "If you kiss me, I'll make that promise."


“Then... marry me?”


“.....” Xiao Che defeated.


“Young Master, are you still not ready?” Prohibited passing “ favorable time.” Xiao Hong's urgent voice sounded from outside again.


Xiao Che put his hand on the door but had not yet pushed it to open. He whispered, “I can't make that promise because in my heart, you've become my number one. Even if there were a hundred Xia Qingyue, she couldn't catch up to you. You are irreplaceable. ”


As his voice faded, he pushed the door open and left.


Xiao Lingxi stood still, frozen for a moment. A bow formed on the edge of her lips and she happily jumped out afterwards, like a girl who had been given her favorite candy.


The moment Xiao Che walked out of the room, his beautiful wedding team had been waiting for him. Xiao Hong kindly smiled at him, “Young Master, please get on his horse. On the way I will protect you with all that I have…. But of course, today is the big day of the young master. I don't have to worry too much because there will only be good things waiting to happen. "


“It looks like I came at the right time. Is Brother Xiao Che going to pick up his wife now? Congratulation. ”


Xiao Che's eyebrows slightly furrowed at the sound and saw two young men walking slowly to his side. The one who spoke was a twenty-year-old youth with a medium body. He's handsome and graceful. His eyes were clear on top of a refreshing face and he put on a bright smile. Behind him was a younger, thinner man. His footsteps followed quickly behind the speakers.


“Seeing them, Xiao Che smiled,“ Oh, Big Brother Yulong and Big Brother Xiao Yang, did you guys specifically make this trip here to escort me? ”


Xiao Yulong was the son of the leader of the Xiao Clan. At the age of twenty, whether it was his appearance, talent, use of speech and wisdom, they were at the peak of the younger generation in the Xiao Clan. His profound strength had reached the third level of the Nascent Profound Realm at this moment. He was his father, Xiao Yunhai, pride and joy and was also the future hope of the Xiao Clan. The clan had high hopes on him because he would be the next leader if no mishap occurred. He has a lot of good qualities but he is never arrogant. He was kind and polite to everyone. Even towards Xiao Che, who was considered to be flawed in everyone's eyes, he had never ridiculed Xiao Che but he was as gentle as he was polite. Not only that, though,


Xiao Che had always liked Yulong. He admired and appreciated Yulong's kindness…. Of course, that feeling came from Xiao Che earlier.


The identity of the person behind Xiao Yulong was not that simple either. He was not just an ordinary Xiao Clan disciple; he was the youngest grandson of the Second Elder, Xiao Yang. At nineteen years old, he was at the ninth level of the Basic Profound Realm. Ever since she was a child, she had always followed Xiao Yulong around and listened to her every word. However, he was not as kind to Xiao Che as he was to Xiao Yulong. Although they were both Elders grandchildren, he never cared about Xiao Che. Every time Xiao Che tried to start a conversation, he would ignore or respond with his nose turned up.


As the grandson of the Xiao Clan Elder, not only did Xiao Che have his own residence, he also had a separate small courtyard. Other than her grandfather Xiao Lie, her little aunt Xiao Lingxi, and her only best friend, very few people actually came to visit. This time, Xiao Yulong had come with Xiao Yang with the intention of watching him on his wedding trip.


"Haha of course." Xiao Yulong approached with a cold laugh and said, “The person you married today is the number one smartest gem of our Floating Cloud City. This is not only our Xiao Clan's big event, but also our Floating Cloud City's big event. Since you have the chance to marry this treasure, your brother here is very happy for you. Of course, I am also envious and ashamed. Ha ha ha ha."


Xiao Che also laughed, “Kakak Yulong told a funny joke. With Brother Yulong's talent, the entire female population in Floating Cloud city is yours to choose from. "


"Young Master, we have to go." Xiao Hong warned.


“Sister Xiao Che, hurry up. We are looking forward to you spectacularly bringing the Bright jewel of the Floating Cloud city into the Xiao Clan. " Xiao Yulong said with a smile.


Xiao Che nodded and immediately sat up straight. The marriage guard team passed through the courtyard to listen to the sounds of drums and gongs directly towards the Xia Clan Residence.


As Xiao Che disappeared from sight, Xiao Yulong's smile froze and darkened. He suddenly turned around and violently slapped Xiao Yang's face hard. In a low voice, he hissed, "Pathetic!"


Xiao Yulong's slap was a direct blow and Xiao Yang's left cheek began to swell. He hurriedly rushed to Xiao Yulong's feet and fearfully spoke, "I ... I clearly inserted the Killer Heart Powder and the message I received confirmed that he had completely fainted ... I ... I also don't know what's going on here ...."


"Hmmm!" Xiao Yulong's eyebrows stiffened and changed his face. “I spent so much money to get the poison that even Doctor Situ was unable to cure, but you messed it all up! Don't tell me you want me to personally see Xia Qingyue marry that bastard Xiao Che? "


“Bos, the kid just left. We will have a chance on the wedding road.Although we cannot personally take care of this for fear of being seen, we can incite the resistance force of the Yuwen Family and others. There were other nobles who wanted Xia Qingyue. Just listening to the people talking about Xia Qingyue's marriage with Xiao Che would make their teeth itch. If we encourage them a little and go out together, we will be able to…. ”


“If it's that simple, why did I spend so much time to get the Killer Heart Powder!” Xiao Yulong coldly interrupted Xiao Yang and continued, “Xiao Che is a useless person but his grandfather is at the tenth level of the Spirit Profound Realm. Who would dare offend him? Also, Xia Qingyue's father did not mind this marriage at all. Who would dare to openly offend the Xia and Xiao Che Clans? Even if the boys of the Yuwen Family were to join the sons of the city lord, their families would obviously prevent them from doing anything…. And didn't you see that old jerk Xiao Hong accompany him personally? With him around, how could the problem begin? "


As he spoke, Xiao Yulong clenched his hands. The sound of a sprained bone appeared in the air. The first time she saw Xia Qingyue, she had thought that she had met an angel and was already lost. From then on, he vowed to make Xia Qingyue his woman for life.


But Xia Qingyue, was actually going to marry the Xiao Che that the Xiao Clan hated the most! How could he be willing to accept that!


“Bos, actually... actually you don't need to worry too much.” Xiao Yang glanced at Xiao Yulong's facial expression and carefully spoke, “Think, with Xia Qingyue's temperament that never even bothered to glance at one of the talents in Floating Cloud City, would he like that child Xiao Che? The only reason he married Xiao Che was because of the deal made sixteen years ago. If he were to marry into the family, it would be very impossible for Xiao Che to touch his finger…. Once he enters our Xiao Clan, the chances of the Boss meeting him will greatly increase. Xiao Che's trash was not comparable to the Boss' natural good looks and talent. After a while, how could it not impress Xia Qingyue? At that time…."


Listening to Xiao Yang's words, Xiao Yulong's gloomy frown began to stretch while his narrowed eyes narrowed. He touched the tip of his nose with his finger and whispered, "You're making a pretty reasonable point .. It doesn't seem like being able to poison the trash related to death can also be a good thing."
