Upon hearing the words, Wang Xiaoqiang's heart stirred, and he immediately recalled the night he flew with the three men from Taiyi Sect, unconsciously blurting out, "Actually, people can fly up into the sky!"

"Little Qiang, you must be talking in your sleep!" Xu Qingxue lightly patted Wang Xiaoqiang's face with her delicate hand.

"I'm telling the truth, Qingxue, one day I want to take you up to the sky to pick a star for you..."

Upon hearing Wang Xiaoqiang's words, Xu Qingxue's heart trembled, too moved to speak. She hugged Wang Xiaoqiang tightly and after a long time, choked up, "Mmm, Little Qiang, I really do wish to fly with you side by side, heedless of everything..."

Wang Xiaoqiang knew that Xu Qingxue's 'heedless of everything' referred to worldly restraints. Thus, he said to her, "Qingxue, you could completely give up your job and stay in Thailand to help me. I have a gold mine here and I still don't have someone trustworthy to manage it. If you could stay, that would be more than I could ask for..."

"What? Little Qiang, you have a gold mine here too, Little Qiang, just how much money do you have now?" Xu Qingxue asked in surprise.

"Qingxue, excluding other properties, just the income from this gold mine in Thailand alone could ensure prosperity and wealth for us for a lifetime..." Wang Xiaoqiang declared spiritedly.

Xu Qingxue was taken aback by his words and remembered that when she first met Wang Xiaoqiang, he was just a humble, genuine, and impoverished peasant. But in just over three years, he had amassed such wealth, which made her sigh and feel relieved... "Little Qiang, you're really incredible!"

"How about it, think about quitting your job and coming to help me, so we can also be together often..." Wang Xiaoqiang said, his hand wandering naughtily on the fragrant hips of the beautiful Director.

Theoretically speaking, Xu Qingxue reaching the position of Director of the Public Security Bureau of the province and city at just under thirty, and being a member of the standing committee of the Municipal Party Committee, would seem a smooth sailing career. But when compared to Wang Xiaoqiang, what was it really? To hang up her role as landlady and crack cases all day? After a brief ponder, Xu Qingxue said, "Mmm, Little Qiang, I promise you, I hope you won't let me down..."

"Qingxue, how could I ever let you down? Though at home I will follow my parents' wishes to marry and have children, in Thailand, you are my wife and will bear me a son. And yes, have your parents move here too, to live in the estate and enjoy their twilight years... However, Qingxue, now that I have properties in five countries, I can't be with you every day of the year, you must understand that..."

"Mmm, Little Qiang, if you could spend two months of the year with me, I would be completely satisfied..." Xu Qingxue said. "Also, I need to hurry and have our child, next year I turn thirty, and age, it does not spare anyone!"

"Alright, when you go back this time, go ahead and resign, then bring your parents over with you," Wang Xiaoqiang said, "Here in Thailand, I have a more powerful backer than in our country, so you can feel secure living here, and you can manage the gold mine with confidence..."

"Mmm!" Xu Qingxue nodded obediently. She placed her mouth near Wang Xiaoqiang's ear and whispered seductively, "Little Qiang, then later on, let's do it again, and I just won't take birth control, okay?..."

"What, Qingxue, you, you want more?" Wang Xiaoqiang teased Xu Qingxue solemnly.

Instantly, Xu Qingxue blushed deeply, playfully hitting Wang Xiaoqiang lightly... "Every day you always want it several times, huh! If you don't want it, I'd hardly miss giving it to you..."

Xu Qingxue turned over, escaping Wang Xiaoqiang's embrace, leaving him a charming view of her back.

Wang Xiaoqiang moved closer, kissing her fragrant shoulder, "Wife, I was just teasing you. The issue of childbirth is a national affair, we need to work hard for the future flowers of our country..."

"Pah, you're so bad..." Yet, being called 'wife' made Xu Qingxue's heart blossom with joy, but then she twisted her waist coquettishly and dodged away.

The two of them began chasing and playing around.

A week later, Xu Qingxue returned to her home country to resign from her position. Her resignation shook the higher leadership of the River City Public Security Bureau and caused a huge sensation throughout the police system. Usually, the resignation of a common police officer was nothing unusual, but Xu Qingxue had a promising future. Anyone in her position would think of advancing rather than retreating. Yet, the youthful and capable Xu Qingxue was really resigning. However, shocking as it was, the necessary approvals still had to be granted, and the superiors would not forbid the Director from resigning.

Xu Qingxue's resignation wasn't met with any opposition from her family, including her brother Xu Kunpeng. They believed that being a policewoman wasn't a good career for a woman, and finding a good person and a good place to belong was obviously better. Moreover, the man she was to find was Wang Xiaoqiang, the "Vegetable King" of the United States, who also had significant industries in other countries. However, the couple Xu Yongqian refused to join their daughter in Thailand, and ultimately, on her parents' advice, Xu Qingxue went alone to help Wang Xiaoqiang in Thailand.

After arriving in Thailand, Xu Qingxue took over the management of the gold mine. Within less than a month, she was pregnant with Wang Xiaoqiang's child. Fortunately, the gold mine didn't require her to constantly monitor it firsthand; she only needed to visit occasionally.

Looking at Xu Qingxue's belly, Wang Xiaoqiang remembered his mother's words— if a woman's belly looks like a winter melon, then it's definitely a boy, if it resembles a pumpkin, then it's definitely a girl. Currently, Xu Qingxue's belly wasn't showing enough to tell if it was a boy or girl, but Little Xu Xiaoya's was already quite evident. Little Xu Xiaoya often called to say that her baby was very active, indicating it might be a mischievous child. When she talked about this, her voice was exceptionally tender, also filled with the warmth of becoming a mother.

Wang Xiaoqiang felt a bit excited—next year, they would have four children. Haha, it really seemed like what Zheng Ru had said, he might be blessed with seven sons! Otherwise, one son couldn't possibly inherit such a massive empire.

Although Wang Xiaoqiang had helped his brother eliminate competitors, he couldn't change his brother's superstitious beliefs. Wang Dali was convinced that Liu Juyi was a White Tiger, an Evil Star, and thus, he would never accept her. During this period, Liu Juyi became slightly petulant; after all, four years had passed without a single visit or call from her husband's family. She endured these grievances, but the gossip in the village nearly drove her to despair. When Wang Kuishan and his wife saw their daughter-in-law in constant distress, absent-minded and distracted all day, they called their elder son, Wang Dali. However, he would hang up every time Liu Juyi's matter was mentioned, simply stating that he had found someone else in Guangzhou and told Liu Juyi to remarry.

The Two Elders of the Wang Family were furious, but they also knew their eldest son was stubborn, and once he made up his mind, not even ten horses could pull him back. Out of desperation, they had no choice but to call Wang Xiaoqiang.

After receiving the call, Wang Xiaoqiang felt it was necessary to return home to handle the matter. Liu Juyi had suffered too much injustice in the Wang family for too many years to let it continue.

It was simply unfair to her.

When Wang Xiaoqiang got home, he saw his son and "daughter-in-law." That evening, when he went back to the old house for dinner, he took Liu Juyi aside and candidly revealed his brother's attitude. Keeping it a secret was deceitful and unethical. Since his brother was unwilling to continue the relationship, they should tell her the truth. Then Wang Xiaoqiang said, "Sister-in-law, I apologize on behalf of my brother for his inadequacies. I'll make up for what he owes you…"

Liu Juyi, hearing that Wang Dali didn't want her, showed no emotion on her face. She had long known this. The reason she stayed with the Wang Family for so many years was initially because The Two Elders of the Wang Family had no one to care for them and their down-and-out younger son, who was then like a child. The household couldn't function without her. Later, she stayed entirely to help Wang Xiaoqiang manage the fishpond.

Also, she knew of her physiological abnormalities, which were greatly taboo in the countryside. She could imagine that any unenlightened young man would treat her the same way Wang Dali did; hence, she didn't want to remarry in the countryside. Additionally, after experiencing a failed marriage, she had developed a fear of marriage and didn't dare to entertain the idea again.

Hearing Wang Xiaoqiang's words, Liu Juyi was somewhat comforted and weakly smiled at Wang Xiaoqiang, "Little Qiang, your brother doesn't owe me anything, really. These years I've been at your house were of my own free will, it wasn't because I was hoping for a perfect ending with your brother…"

"Sister-in-law, continuing this way isn't fair to you; you're still young and have a long road ahead of you," Wang Xiaoqiang awkwardly said, "I want to hear what your plans are…"

"Little Qiang, can I go abroad with you?" Liu Juyi hesitantly asked, "Little Qiang, don't misunderstand, I mean, changing the environment might make me feel better…"

"Of course, you can," Wang Xiaoqiang had previously considered this. He really hoped Liu Juyi wouldn't remarry; he thought such a beautiful and wise woman marrying any man would be an insult to her, and if she married, they would become strangers, no longer having any interactions. A person who had lived and worked with him for several years, who had helped him for years, and sacrificed her youth for the Wang family, would be completely forgotten in the Martial World. This would forever leave a debt of gratitude in the heart of the Wang family, eternally burdened with guilt—a situation Wang Xiaoqiang didn't want to see. If she could continue helping him overseas, that would be ideal. But surprisingly, Liu Juyi's thoughts perfectly matched his. Was this what's called "telepathy"?

So he readily agreed.

Seeing Wang Xiaoqiang agree, a smile brightened Liu Juyi's melancholic face. "But then, your fishpond will be left unattended…"

"We'll find someone else to take care of it. Anyway, that fishpond is dispensable to me now… including the businesses back home," Wang Xiaoqiang grandly declared.

"Little Qiang, it seems like your career has indeed grown big!" Liu Juyi looked at the young man who had been down-and-out three years ago, a mere country bumpkin, and now, seeing the empire he had built, she felt immensely pleased.

"I owe it all to you, Sister-in-law. My success is partly your doing!" Wang Xiaoqiang sincerely expressed his gratitude.

"Little Qiang, don't call me Sister-in-law anymore. I'm no longer your Sister-in-law…" Liu Juyi frowned slightly. She really didn't want to hear that title anymore! (To be continued.
