"Huh?"
The black bead exuded a cold, malevolent aura that made one's hair stand on end.
It was absolutely no ordinary object!
Li Yurou studied it for a long time, nodded silently, and then gave her brother a significant look.
Li Yusheng understood, cleared his throat, and said, "Brother Lin's condition is not impossible to consider."
Li Yurou asked, "Where did this bead come from?"
Lin Fan pointed to Zheng Yue beside him. "It's a Buddhist charm belonging to her. Inside was a... demon that made baby cries, which I killed. This thing dropped."
"You killed it?!"
Li Yurou exclaimed, staring intently at Lin Fan.
Lin Fan was bewildered. "What's wrong?"
Li Yurou came back to her senses and explained, "What you killed was a Demon Child, and this bead is the Demon Child's relic, named the Wuchen Bead."
"Oh."
Lin Fan had suspected this bead was nothing good.
Li Yurou took the Wuchen Bead and asked, "Aren't you afraid of being at a disadvantage?"
Lin Fan smiled. "What's there to lose? It's useless to me."
Li Yurou chuckled. The Wuchen Bead was very useful to her. For one thing, it would keep other Demon Children away, which alone made it a valuable item.
Afternoon.
Taking advantage of Zheng Xingchao's tribute, Lin Fan told Rama X the fortune of the tenth.
The result was as expected; Rama X's fortune had run out!
However, Lin Fan guessed that the next king would not be from the Zheng family, or rather, not of Chinese descent, but a genuine Siamese, as it was their nation.
After finishing these matters, Lin Fan flew home.
Midnight.
A round moon hung in the dark sky, casting its bright light.
Creak~
A figure stealthily slipped into the room.
Xia Xue was not yet sound asleep.
Lin Fan slowly crept into the covers.
"Xue'er."
"Mmm~"
A soft call almost scared Xia Xue out of her wits.
"Xiao Fan."
Xia Xue turned her head, her beautiful eyes wide. "You're back? Why didn't you say anything beforehand? Why are you back in the middle of the night?"
"For you!"
Lin Fan grinned, wrapping an arm around Xia Xue's slender shoulder.
Xia Xue did not resist. She knew this day would come sooner or later.
"Did you miss me?"
"Miss... what a silly question!"
Xia Xue playfully pinched Lin Fan, saying, "If you missed me, let's not do it here. We might wake up Song Yue."
Lin Fan thought about it. It would be a shame if Song Yue burst in halfway through something good.
Xia Xue got out of bed and dressed, suggesting, "Xiao Fan, shall we go to the clinic?"
"Okay."
Lin Fan's face, eyes, and heart were filled with happiness.
After waiting for so long, his wish was about to come true!
Xia Xue was neither flustered nor shy.
In Lin Fan's eyes, she saw her own desire.
"Mwah, I'll carry you."
Lin Fan, unable to contain himself, picked up Xia Xue and flew to the clinic.
...
In the clinic.
Xia Xue held Lin Fan tightly, her voice husky. "Xiao Fan, actually... I've been waiting for this day for a long time."
As Lin Fan was about to speak, Xia Xue kissed him.
"Mmm~"
A passionate kiss ensued.
As their passion deepened, they slowly fell onto the bed...
The lights were on all night!
Until dawn broke.
"Xiao Fan, I didn't expect you to not be very muscular, but your stamina is incredible."
Xia Xue's damp hair stuck to her face as she spoke weakly.
"Of course, you're the one I love most."
Lin Fan was still not satisfied.
A hint of apprehension flickered in Xia Xue's eyes. "Sister Song Yue wakes up early. She'll be here soon. It won't be good if she sees us."
Lin Fan shook his head. "She's not my wife. It doesn't matter if she sees."
"Oh, alright."
Xia Xue nodded helplessly and sat up, kissing Lin Fan.
In fact, Song Yue had just arrived. She had listened carefully for a moment, heard Xia Xue and Lin Fan's voices, and then left.
Another hour passed.
Lin Fan gently cupped Xia Xue's chin. "Xue'er, let's go get our marriage certificate, and we can continue tonight."
"We're still going tonight?"
Xia Xue's face showed a mixture of fear and shyness.
How could this be!
After getting the marriage certificate, shouldn't they have a wedding banquet?
Why were they going straight to the bridal chamber!
Xia Xue searched for a while and finally gathered all the scattered clothes around them.
They dressed and quickly went to the Civil Affairs Bureau, where they obtained their marriage certificates.
Each received a small red booklet.
Back home, Xia Xue couldn't wait to show off to Song Yue.
After dinner, Song Yue pulled Lin Fan to the backyard and asked, "Xiao Fan, you've finally gotten your wish. You won't want me anymore, will you?"
Before Lin Fan could speak, Song Yue added with a huff, "Hmph, I don't care. I'm already yours, and I'll stick to you for the rest of my life."
Lin Fan laughed heartily. "Don't worry, Yueyue jie. Xue'er and I getting married only means Xue'er is my first wife; it doesn't mean I don't want the others."
"Of course, besides the existing few, I won't take any more in the future."
Lin Fan added.
"That's more like it."
Song Yue gave Lin Fan a sidelong glance. "I saw and heard you two doing good things in the clinic. When will you be that powerful with me?"
"Probably not for the next few days, I need to accompany Xue'er."
Lin Fan changed the subject. "Yueyue jie, I have a task for you. Go to the city and buy things for the wedding. Buy whatever looks good. We have plenty of money now."
He had earned nearly fifty million US dollars from his trip to Siam.
While Song Yue and Xia Xue were in the city shopping, Lin Fan first went to school and broke up with Jiang Hadao Xue.
He had already made up his mind to love only Xia Xue and naturally did not want to tarnish Jiang Hadao Xue's purity.
Then he went to the village committee and explained the situation to Tian Mengyao.
Tian Mengyao refused to agree, even offering to give herself to him immediately, but he refused.
In the end, he had no choice but to agree and swear that he would treat Tian Mengyao as a sister for his entire life. Only then did Tian Mengyao stop bothering him.
As for Su Yurou and Wang Ying, he had already been intimate with them and couldn't abandon them. He planned to find an opportunity to explain the situation to Xia Xue.
He believed Xia Xue would accept them.
In fact, he knew Li Yurou liked him, but he could no longer accept any woman's love.
He had also severed contact with Zheng Yue.
And so, along with a child, the family of six lived happily ever after.
Many years later.
A group of children surrounded Lin Fan, calling out in unison, "Dad, Dad..."
