Chapter 18: Xia Qingxue’s Complete Submission
“No~”
Xia Qingxue’s face flushed crimson. She gently shook her head, lowering it with the demeanor of an obedient young wife.
“Meier, what about you?”
Su Chen chuckled, turning his gaze towards Su Meier who was standing to the side.
Su Meier’s cheeks reddened even more. She shyly glared at Su Chen and softly said, “Young Master Su, there’s no need.”
Upon hearing this, Xia Qingxue inwardly scoffed.
No need? You were clearly enjoying it just now, weren’t you?
“Qingxue, since you’ve chosen to become this Young Master’s woman, I will naturally help you resolve the Xia Family’s crisis. Perhaps the Xia Family’s strength can even be further enhanced.”
Su Chen pulled Xia Qingxue into his embrace and spoke tenderly.
“Thank you, Young Master!”
Hearing this, Xia Qingxue felt a surge of warmth in her heart, her attachment to Su Chen growing even stronger.
“Don’t get too excited just yet, this Young Master hasn’t finished speaking.”
Looking at Xia Qingxue’s excited expression, Su Chen said calmly, “The marriage agreement between us has been annulled. You can only be this Young Master’s concubine.”
Su Chen paused, then continued, “What are your thoughts on this?”
Xia Qingxue’s initially excited expression instantly froze upon hearing these words.
Although she had some inkling of this before she came, she couldn’t hide her disappointment when she actually heard it from Su Chen’s mouth.
But for the sake of her family, she had no other choice at this moment. Biting her red lips, she remained silent for a moment before looking up at Su Chen. “This concubine is willing.”
Hearing Xia Qingxue’s prompt reply, Su Chen nodded slightly, a satisfied expression appearing on his face. “That’s right! To be this Young Master’s concubine is something countless daughters of noble families in Donghua Region desire, but this Young Master has never looked favorably upon them. It’s a great honor for you to become my concubine.”
As he spoke the last sentence, a wicked smile played on Su Chen’s lips. His gaze roamed uninhibitedly over Xia Qingxue’s delicate body, as if wanting to see through every inch of her skin.
“What Young Master says is true.”
Xia Qingxue lowered her head, appearing incredibly bashful.
Su Chen nodded even more satisfied, reaching out to lift Xia Qingxue’s chin. He stared at her intensely. “This Young Master likes intelligent women like you the most.”
A hint of sadness flickered in Xia Qingxue’s beautiful eyes, but she quickly bit her lip and nodded.
Seeing Xia Qingxue nod, Su Chen suddenly asked, “I heard you’re quite familiar with Xiao Ruoyu of the Xiao Family?”
Xia Qingxue was taken aback, feeling somewhat puzzled.
Why was Su Chen suddenly interested in her relationship with Xiao Ruoyu?
Could it be that he was coveting Big Sister Ruoyu’s beauty?
Thinking this, she tentatively nodded. “Yes, Big Sister Ruoyu is a good friend of mine.”
“Oh? Is that so?”
Su Chen narrowed his eyes, a thoughtful expression on his face. “Help this Young Master pursue Xiao Ruoyu.”
What?
Pursue Big Sister Ruoyu?
Su Chen wants to pursue Big Sister Ruoyu?
Hearing these words, Xia Qingxue’s eyes widened, staring at Su Chen in disbelief.
Su Chen’s idea was too crazy.
Who was Xiao Ruoyu? She was the future successor of the Xiao Family, the second most powerful family in the Donghua Region.
She was one of the most outstanding talents in the entire Donghua Region!
How could such a talented woman take a liking to Su Chen?
Although Su Chen was the Young Master of the most powerful family in the Donghua Region, the outside world only knew him as a good-for-nothing playboy who relied on his family’s power and couldn’t cultivate.
“What? Are you unwilling? Or do you think this Young Master is not worthy of her, Xiao Ruoyu?”
Seeing Xia Qingxue’s hesitation, Su Chen asked coldly.
“No, no, Young Master is handsome, elegant, and incredibly powerful. You are a true prodigy of this era. It would be Big Sister Ruoyu’s good fortune to meet Young Master. Big Sister Ruoyu would definitely be happy to marry Young Master.”
◈◈◈
Feeling the icy killing intent emanating from Su Chen, Xia Qingxue trembled with fear.
How could she dare to refuse?
Besides, Su Chen was right. It would indeed be an incredibly fortunate thing for Big Sister Ruoyu to be with someone like him.
Su Chen was powerful and had a noble status, making him a perfect match for a talented individual like Xiao Ruoyu.
Hearing this, Su Chen raised an eyebrow, a charming smile returning to his face. “That’s good.”
With that, he casually waved his hand, tossing a spatial ring in front of Xia Qingxue. “Take this. There are one hundred million high-grade spirit stones inside, enough to raise the level of your Xia Family’s elite by a notch.”
One hundred million high-grade spirit stones?
Xia Qingxue stared blankly at the spatial ring in front of her, her mind buzzing. She was so excited that she nearly fainted.
This many spirit stones were a fortune she could never earn in her lifetime.
Su Chen was treating her so well even though she was just his concubine. If she were to bear him an heir, wouldn’t that…
Thinking of this, Xia Qingxue’s pretty face couldn’t help but blush. She tightly gripped her skirt, stealing a glance at Su Chen. “Thank you, Young Master. This concubine will definitely help you successfully marry Big Sister Ruoyu.”
“Mm.”
Su Chen nodded in satisfaction and added, “Remember, this matter must not be leaked to anyone, including your parents.”
Xia Qingxue nodded vigorously, assuring him, “Don’t worry, Young Master. This concubine knows what to do.”
Seeing Xia Qingxue’s obedient and sensible demeanor, Su Chen nodded in satisfaction. “Alright, you may leave now.”
Xia Qingxue, who was once so unruly and defiant, had finally submitted to him.
No matter how rebellious a woman is, she will become docile when she meets a man who can conquer her.
“This concubine takes her leave.”
Xia Qingxue bowed and turned to leave.
“Wait!”
She had only taken a few steps when she suddenly heard Su Chen call out to her.
She stopped, turned around to face Su Chen, her eyes filled with anticipation and nervousness. “Young Master, what are your orders?”
“In three days, the Heavenly Dome Auction House will hold an auction. An item that’s very important to the Xiao Family will appear. Accompany her there at that time.”
Su Chen thought for a moment and instructed.
“This concubine understands. I’ll make arrangements right away.”
With that, Xia Qingxue stood up and bowed deeply to Su Chen.
“Mm.”
Su Chen nodded, watching Xia Qingxue leave.
After Xia Qingxue had gone far away, Su Chen slowly sat down on a chair, picked up a cup of tea, and took a small sip elegantly. A meaningful smile played on his lips.
“Xiao Tiancheng, Ye Fan, heh.”
The reason he took Xia Qingxue in was because he knew from the original novel that she had a very good relationship with Xiao Ruoyu, like sisters.
He wanted to use this to get Xia Qingxue to help him get close to Xiao Ruoyu, and then obtain Xiao Ruoyu and the entire Xiao Family.
His ultimate goal was because the Xiao Family and Xiao Ruoyu were Ye Fan’s fortuitous encounters.
He wanted to s*atch away all of Ye Fan’s fortuitous encounters.
I’d like to see if you’ll despair after your fortuitous encounters, women, and power are gradually taken away by me.
A wicked smile appeared on Su Chen’s lips.
