Chapter 715: Rare Peace
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
In a place like Earth, where every inch of land was precious, it was extremely difficult for a small village to be surrounded by mountains. It was precisely because of this layer of natural protection that the small village was able to develop with the times. However, many people did not know of its existence.
Many of the young people in the village had already gone out to work, and most of the people who remained in the village were old people and children.
It was almost New Year’s Day. The snow was already falling heavily and the entire village was filled with a solemn white, quiet, and peaceful atmosphere.
Da Bao and Little Treasure liked to play with the remaining children in the village. They liked to have snowball fights, hide-and-seek games, and they would not get tired of playing the game of soldiers and thieves.
Yan Kuan’s recovery had greatly reduced Shen Xiaoxiao’s burden. She did not have to wake up every day thinking about what the Dark Empire was going to do today and what the company was going to do today. She only needed to think about what kind of food she would arrange for her family today, what clothes her children and husband would wear today, or where they would go for a walk after dinner.
This kind of life of being a husband and raising children was something that Shen Xiaoxiao had never imagined even if she had lived for two lifetimes.
These few days, she and Yan Kuan had been living in peace. Neither of them had taken the initiative to bring up a series of topics such as harm, exploitation, jealousy, and so on. They had experienced great sorrow and joy, experienced life and death together, and those things that they had cared about in the past… The things that they thought were very important had become unimportant.
“Are you tired today?”
Yan Kuan returned to his room and saw Shen Xiaoxiao tidying up the toys for the children. He walked over and held her in his arms as he asked.
“Why would I be tired? Aren’t you here? I have never felt so relaxed before.”
Yan Kuan smiled as he held the beauty in his arms. He lowered his head and gently kissed her hair. Such a day was also a rare existence for him.
He would even be grateful for everything that he had experienced, allowing them to clearly see each other’s position in their hearts. It was irreplaceable.
They loved each other with their lives even though they had experienced hardships, even though they had kidnapped each other in the name of love.
But it was undeniable that their original intention was for each other’s happiness.
The two people who had never known family, how love should be run, and how it should exist had finally found a thread after experiencing all sorts of things. They did not want to miss such an opportunity again. They also did not want to let such an opportunity slip away from their eyes.
Therefore, they would rather stay in this remote and sparsely populated old house, avoid the bustling city, and be left behind in a peaceful and quiet place.
“The resort is almost finished, but I’ve released the news that it’s still in the initial stage of construction. I’ve also secretly moved the base of the Dark Empire. This place, including the entire mountain behind, will be under our control. Even if Jiang Haoting wants to make a move against us, it won’t be so easy to take us down.”
“You can decide on these things.”
“Well, you take care of the rest, and I’ll take care of everything. You don’t have to worry about these things.”
“Of course, I won’t worry. But you said you wanted to cooperate with the old woman. I want to wait until we find the entrance of the base. Have you heard anything from Han Jia?”
“Yes, she has already contacted Jiang Haoting. I think Jiang Haoting already knows where the Shen family’s base is.”
“If Han Jia wants to convince Jiang Haoting to help them deal with us, the only way is to take out extremely high stakes and benefits. I think the so-called immortality and time travel are Han Jia’s conditions.”
“Yes, that’s the only way. That’s why I asked our base to be deployed here as well. Fortunately, you had people spend a lot of money on advertisements before. Now, not to mention the whole of China, even 80% of the people in China know that this area is developed by the KN Group. Even if Jiang Haoting wants to, he can’t do anything about it, especially when we exposed all the development licenses and other certificates during the advertisement. It’s impossible to tamper with these things. You blocked the way out with one move. Little thing, you are really smart.”
“I learned it from Jiang Haoting. Wasn’t that how he dealt with the Ouyang family back then? Some of the evidence can be said to be fake by the authorities. They play politics, and some of them have ways to deal with us. That’s why they made the first move. We just had to expose what he had covered up under everyone’s eyes. Even if he wants to make a move, he has to think twice.”
“Yes, that’s true.”
“But at Jiang Wendong’s coming of age ceremony, I think Jiang Haoting will very likely make a move.”
“Don’t worry. I’ve already recovered. If they want to make a move, it depends on whether I agree or not. Didn’t Jiang Haoting create a fake there? When the time comes, he’ll have to slap himself.”
When Shen Xiaoxiao heard Yan Kuan say that it was a fake, she thought of that celebrity, Nan Ya. She just didn’t know if Yan Kuan knew that she was currently in a heated relationship with that ‘fake Yan Kuan’. This person… At that time, it would be best if he did not smack his own mouth.
“That’s right. Sometimes, it’s best not to smack your own mouth.”
Shen Xiaoxiao smiled and turned to leave. However, how could Yan Kuan not hear the hidden meaning behind Shen Xiaoxiao’s words? He pulled her into his embrace. She was still so thin. From the moment the two of them recovered until now, he had not touched her. For one, he was worried about her body. For another, Shen Xiaoxiao had also said that he should not think about anything else since his vitality was severely damaged. He should focus on recuperating his body first.
Therefore, now that the beautiful woman was in his arms, the words that he was about to say made him somewhat reluctant to say them at this moment.
His head was gently buried behind her ear as he exhaled hot air. That kind of numbing feeling made Shen Xiaoxiao feel goosebumps all over her body.
As long as this man moved, she would know what he was thinking.
“I will be gentle.”
“Mm.”
