Chapter 612: Meeting Alone

Chapter 612: Chapter 612: Meeting Alone

In the Dragon Group, the Dragon King said to Xia Wan’er, "Did you tell Ting Yu about that matter? How did Ting Yu react?"

Xia Wan’er replied, "Of course, she was very happy. It’s clear to see. Ting Yu is truly happy when she’s with Ling Feng. She’s found her happiness, and that puts my mind at ease as her Aunt!"

A hint of relief appeared on the Dragon King’s solemn face. Liu Tingyu was his only concern, and as long as she was well taken care of, he could fully concentrate on preparing for the duel two days away!

"Did you go see Long Guangyi yesterday?" the Dragon King suddenly asked.

Xia Wan’er’s complexion shifted slightly, "What are you talking about? Didn’t you say not to see Long Guangyi? How could I possibly go see him?"

The Dragon King walked up to Xia Wan’er and wrapped his arms around her delicate body, whispering, "We are one as husband and wife. Don’t I know what you would do? You went to see him together with Ling Feng yesterday, didn’t you?"

Xia Wan’er’s body trembled, then she said helplessly, "That’s right, it seems I really can’t hide anything from you. We indeed did go see Long Guangyi!"

"You two are no match for him!" the Dragon King said confidently, "It seems that my junior brother must have shown you mercy!"

Xia Wan’er argued, "Why do you say we’re no match for Long Guangyi? Although Long Guangyi is your junior brother, both Ling Feng and I are experts at the Demi-God Domain level. United together, we fought Long Guangyi for three hundred rounds, locked in a fierce battle, and he couldn’t overcome us. That’s why we left!"

The Dragon King pinched Xia Wan’er’s nose, laughing, "Alright, stop making up stories. I’m well aware of yours and Ling Feng’s strengths. Even if you combined your forces, you wouldn’t stand a chance against my junior brother! The only reason you are back now is that he wasn’t serious and spared you!"

Xia Wan’er deflatedly said, "Yes, your wonderful junior brother is indeed too powerful. I couldn’t handle him at all. If it weren’t for Ling Feng’s outburst, you probably would have waited to see me after two days!"

Reaching this point, Xia Wan’er looked up at the Dragon King, "Long Guangyi said that Ling Feng has less than five years left to live. Did you know?"

The Dragon King hesitated and then nodded, "I know about this. It’s because Ling Feng, when he was with the Divine Gate organization, was stimulated by Gene Medicine, causing his Gene Lock to overload and activate. It uses up his Life Force each time it’s unleashed, and after all these years, Ling Feng has less than five years of Life Force left!"

A trace of distress flickered through Xia Wan’er’s eyes, and she said softly, "Ting Yu and Ling Feng are good children. Why is fate so cruel? Why are they destined not to grow old together? Fate is too unfair to them!"

The Dragon King said softly, "Fate is just like that. If they want to break the chains of fate, they have to rely on themselves! Besides, even if they only have five years left, as long as they are happy and fulfilled, that’s enough! The value of life lies not in its length, but in its depth and breadth!"

"I was just expressing a thought. There’s no need for you to preach at me like that!" Xia Wan’er rolled her eyes at the Dragon King and said, "But speaking of which, how confident are you about your duel with Long Guangyi?"

"If it’s a duel to the death, it’s fifty-fifty! But if we stop at first blood, I am sixty percent confident," the Dragon King replied after some thought.

A match of equals! Xia Wan’er couldn’t help but grasp the Dragon King’s hand, "Cheng Feng, now that Ting Yu’s affairs are arranged, I will always stand by your side. No matter what happens in the future, we, as husband and wife, must always share our joys and sorrows, and face life and death together!"

"Good! To share our joys and sorrows, and face life and death together!" The Dragon King also tightly held Xia Wan’er’s hand, unable to refrain from dipping his head and giving her a light kiss on the lips.

"Creak," the door opened, "Dad, Aunt Wan, I..."

Liu Tingyu barged in, just in time to see her father and Aunt Wan’s lips meeting.

"Ahem!" the Dragon King and Queen of Summer quickly parted. The Dragon King coughed as if he suddenly had an allergy in his throat.

Xia Wan’er’s face turned slightly red—it was the first time that Liu Tingyu had caught them being intimate!

"Tingyu, you’re here!" Xia Wan’er said as if nothing happened, "Have you taken care of everything? I’ll give the orders now, and you and Ling Feng can go on your romantic trip to Europe tomorrow!"

Liu Tingyu shook her head, "Aunt Wan, I’ve come to Dragon Group to tell you that I’m not going to Europe!"

"What!" Dragon King and Aunt Wan couldn’t help but exclaim in unison.

Xia Wan’er said with some urgency, "Tingyu, what happened? Why aren’t you going? Did Ling Feng make you mad?"

Looking at Xia Wan’er’s genuine concern, Liu Tingyu’s heart warmed, "This has nothing to do with Ling Feng. I’m not going to Europe because I don’t want to live with regret for the rest of my life!"

What does that mean? Dragon King and Xia Wan’er exchanged glances, not understanding Liu Tingyu’s meaning.

Liu Tingyu’s gaze swept past Xia Wan’er and looked at Dragon King, "Dad, am I not a part of the Liu Family? Why then, when such a big problem arises, do you and Aunt Wan think of sending me out of the country?"

Dragon King was startled, then frowned, "Tingyu, you know about it? Who told you?"

Liu Tingyu shook her head, "Dad, it doesn’t matter who told me. I’m here to let you and Aunt Wan know that I’m not leaving at a time like this!"

"Nonsense!" Dragon King scolded in a low voice, "Liu Tingyu, don’t be too presumptuous! The battle between me and your Uncle Long is a matter of the state, an internal affair of Dragon Group, unrelated to family affairs! What’s the use of you staying? You are not a part of Dragon Group."

Xia Wan’er also advised, "Tingyu, listen to your dad and go relax. Your dad is very powerful, you know. Your Uncle Long is no match for him at all!"

Liu Tingyu said sadly, "Aunt Wan, after all that has happened, do you still want to deceive me?"

Xia Wan’er looked at Liu Tingyu’s eyes, brimming with tears, and opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.

Dragon King scolded in a low voice, "This is Dragon Group, what are you doing crying and weeping like this! The trip abroad was something we planned half a year ago; it just coincided with this matter!"

Liu Tingyu looked at Aunt Wan, "Aunt Wan, may I speak with my dad alone?"

Xia Wan’er glanced at Dragon King, gave him a meaningful look, then turned and left, closing the door behind her.

Outside the door, Xia Wan’er saw Ling Feng and couldn’t help but say fiercely, "Ling Feng, did you tell Tingyu about this?"

Ling Feng gave a helpless wry smile. Tingyu had learned the truth of the matter from Bai Feifei. Naturally, he couldn’t involve Bai Feifei, so he said helplessly, "Aunt Wan, something happened to Tingyu just yesterday, and today we’re arranging for her to go abroad. With Tingyu’s intelligence, she must have sensed that something was wrong long ago."

Xia Wan’er shook her head; she had forgotten about that, indeed a cruel twist of fate!

"I hope father and daughter can talk calmly and peacefully!" Xia Wan’er looked at the door and sighed softly.
