Chapter 1236 -1237: There Will Be a Place for Your Talents

Originally, Song Xiaodong wanted to learn more about the Dragon Gate after meeting the Elders. Now, however, he’s not in a hurry. His own strength isn’t there yet, and meeting the Dragon Gate’s top members too early would make him unprepared.

Song Xiaodong believes that at the Elder level, they aren’t disloyal to the Dragon Gate, but they certainly won’t follow blindly. As the Dragon Gate Young Master, he must truly earn their recognition for them to genuinely help rebuild the Dragon Gate.

On the contrary, the more it is so, the more Song Xiaodong respects these Elders. If they blindly followed him, it would make Song Xiaodong a bit worried about them instead.

After Dragon Six and Dragon Seven left, Qi Lanqin said, “Big Brother Song, these Elders seem a bit… arrogant?”

Song Xiaodong smiled slightly and said, “This isn’t a bad thing. It shows they’re more prudent in their actions. They know stepping out now wouldn’t accomplish anything and might even bring great danger to me. It’s better to let me develop on my own first, like in a game, let me evolve first, get stronger, and then team up for the battle.”

“Well… I haven’t played games, but it seems what you’re saying makes sense,” Qi Lanqin said a bit shyly.

Song Xiaodong patted Qi Lanqin on the shoulder and said, “Hmm, then let’s develop quietly. When the Dark Night Sect truly sees us as enemies, we need to have enough resources to contend with them.”

Qi Lanqin said with a bitter face, “It’s just that I never know what I can do. I feel so useless now that I don’t even dare to call myself the Dragon Gate’s Princess.”

“Don’t worry, sooner or later, you’ll have a place to show your skills. Just do what you’re comfortable with.”

Qi Lanqin pouted and said, “I’m anxious, seeing Big Brother Song busy every day, and I’m here doing nothing except attending university, it doesn’t feel good.”

Song Xiaodong gently said, “It’s not something you can rush. Maybe the Elders know what we should do, but since they see we’re not strong enough, they haven’t spoken. Protecting yourself is the most important thing for you to do right now.”

“Alright then, that’s all I can do. I’ll definitely stay far away from those boys.” Saying this, Qi Lanqin blushed a little and said quietly, “I certainly will save myself for Big Brother Song.”

Song Xiaodong laughed heartily. He naturally understood what Qi Lanqin was saving. The fact that she could say such words showed her deep feelings for Song Xiaodong. He said, “My dear Lanqin, Big Brother Song will treat you well too.”

“Hmm!” Qi Lanqin snuggled into Song Xiaodong’s embrace, gently holding Song Xiaodong’s hand and caressing it tenderly.

After a pleasant weekend with Qi Lanqin, as they were parting, Qi Lanqin held Song Xiaodong’s hand and said softly, “Big Brother Song, you shouldn’t come over again.”

“Oh?” Song Xiaodong looked at Qi Lanqin with confusion.

Qi Lanqin pursed her lips and said, “You’re so busy with so many big things to handle every day, how can I let you run over here to see me?”

Just as Song Xiaodong was about to speak, Qi Lanqin continued, “I’ll go back to Minghe on weekends so I can see you, Big Brother Song, and this won’t make the sisters upset. If you come to find me alone on the weekends, the sisters might be unhappy.”

Song Xiaodong smiled slightly and said, “That’s good, but this way… I won’t be able to spend more time alone with you.”

Qi Lanqin pursed her lips and said, “One weekend like this is enough for me. I can’t get special treatment.”

“Lanqun, you’re such a good girl. So let’s do it like this: you come back on the weekends, but if you want to do something else, you don’t have to come back every week.”

“Hmm… I understand.” Qi Lanqin smiled sweetly at Song Xiaodong and suddenly tiptoed to give him a gentle kiss on the lips.

“If you’re so forward and I don’t reciprocate, wouldn’t that be unfair?” Song Xiaodong wrapped his arms around Qi Lanqin’s waist and looked at her with a grin.

“I… suit yourself.” Qi Lanqin avoided Song Xiaodong’s gaze, bashfully, yet clearly with anticipation.

At this moment, Song Xiaodong didn’t hesitate and kissed Qi Lanqin directly.

However, in less than two minutes, Song Xiaodong let go of Qi Lanqin, smiling as he said, “Let’s just mark it for now. Next time when you come home, I’ll properly savor Little Lanqin’s kiss.”

Qi Lanqin leaned weakly against Song Xiaodong’s chest, softly “hmm”ed; the kiss was so sweet, she now eagerly anticipated when Song Xiaodong would kiss her next.

Song Xiaodong didn’t linger too much with Qi Lanqin, as they couldn’t progress their relationship too soon. Savoring slowly would be better; if it happened too quickly, it would lose a lot of charm.

Additionally, for Qi Lanqin, it would also be a loss of many beautiful experiences.

As the number of women around him increased, Song Xiaodong began to consider the feelings of others more and more. It’s one of the signs of a man’s growing maturity.

On Sunday, after returning to the Su Family, while having dinner, Song Xiaodong noticed Miao Xuanxuan and Miao Qingqing looked a bit restless. He didn’t ask them directly, waiting until after dinner to take them into Miao Qingqing’s room.

“Qingqing, Xuanxuan, what’s wrong with you two? You seem a little off.”

Miao Qingqing shook her head and said, “It’s nothing serious.”

Song Xiaodong frowned and said, “Why are you hiding things from me?”

Miao Xuanxuan shrugged and said, “My sister is being a worrywart. I tried to comfort her but she wouldn’t listen, so I ended up being worried too.”

“What’s the matter?” Song Xiaodong seemed puzzled by their behavior.

Only then did Miao Xuanxuan say, “My dad went to Africa to discuss some business a few days ago, but we haven’t been able to contact him recently, which made my sister worry something might have happened to him.”

Miao Qingqing sighed lightly and said, “I know the signal over there isn’t good, and my dad told me before he left. But given the past incident, I can’t help but worry a bit.”

Song Xiaodong said, “I see, it’s natural to worry. But you don’t need to be too anxious. I have some connections there; I’ll ask someone to check and see where your dad is. It shouldn’t be a big issue.”

Miao Xuanxuan immediately said to Miao Qingqing, “See, I told you we should have told him sooner, but you didn’t let me.”

Miao Qingqing said, “Our husband already has so much going on, I didn’t want to bother him with my unnecessary worries.”

Song Xiaodong put his arms around their shoulders and said, “That’s not right. Your issues are my issues as your husband; your family’s matters are naturally my concerns too. Otherwise, how can we be one family?”
