Lin Xiaotian's face was beaming. "I knew my wife treated me the best. Let me have a kiss."
Chu Nianxue's face flushed. After saying those words, she felt shy. She had spoken too quickly and quickly pushed Lin Xiaotian's face away with her small hand, deliberately putting on a stern expression. "I'm being serious with you!"
Lin Xiaotian said with a smile, "Some people need to be taught a lesson."
"If he doesn't learn his lesson, he won't know what he's doing. Besides, I was already merciful just now. Otherwise, that guy would have already been sent to the Yellow Springs."
Seeing that Chu Nianxue still wanted to say something, Lin Xiaotian smiled and changed the subject.
"By the way, wife, what's the deal with that blood jade?"
"Is someone trying to buy the blood jade? Why is it related to the Antique Association?"
Chu Nianxue's delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly. Thinking about this matter, she also found it a bit strange. "A while ago, an old lady pawned a blood jade at our pawnshop, and we agreed she would redeem it in three months."
"During the antique fair, the company was very busy, and the person in charge wasn't at the pawnshop. This blood jade was placed on the counter by an employee, as it was only the last day."
"Someone took a fancy to this blood jade. Just after someone bought it, the old lady returned to redeem it."
"We had already agreed to give her twelve million, but the old man refused, insisting on taking the blood jade back, saying it was their family heirloom."
"And the person who took the blood jade was the vice president of the Antique Association, Wu Jie."
"He is also Wu Yuxuan's uncle. Coincidentally, we are currently applying to join the Antique Association. Previously, our company's antique shops were not qualified. Now, with this incident, most of the association members will not agree."
Hearing this, Lin Xiaotian's eyes narrowed slightly.
A smile also appeared on his face. "Wife, this is clearly someone deliberately targeting us."
"Is that old lady still at the pawnshop?"
"She's scheduled to come tomorrow."
After a brief chat, Chu Nianxue returned to her room, worrying about what to do.
Lin Xiaotian smiled and took out seven blood jades from his bag. "Wife, look what I have here?"
Chu Nianxue was pondering with a frown. When she turned her head and saw what Lin Xiaotian was holding, she was slightly stunned, but then her face lit up with surprise.
"How do you have so many blood jades?"
"Of course, I earned them back. Tomorrow, I'll go to the pawnshop and see if that old lady wants her family heirloom."
"See if these items are as good as the one the old lady brought out?"
Chu Nianxue observed them carefully, and then her eyes filled with surprise. "The quality of each one is much better than the one the old lady brought out. When Wu Yuxuan came today, the blood jade in his hand was exactly the one Wu Jie took away earlier."
Hearing this, Mr. Zhu already understood. "It seems they had already set up a trap to deliberately swindle us."
"But it doesn't matter. Tomorrow I'll meet that old lady and see if she wants money or wants to cooperate with those people."
Chu Nianxue's eyes were filled with joy. "What I'm most worried about is that someone will deliberately tarnish the reputation of our pawnshop. Blood jades are already rare. Once the news gets out, people might say that our pawnshop deliberately delayed the time, wanting to turn that blood jade into a dead pawn."
"But now that you've brought out so many blood jades, it will surely make them all know that our pawnshop doesn't lack such treasures."
"As long as the old lady is willing, we can exchange them at any time."
"After all, there are bound to be some mistakes in work. We can't be completely written off because of one incident."
With her worries gone, Chu Nianxue's smile increased.
Lin Xiaotian seized the opportunity, hugged her slender waist, looked at her flawless and beautiful face, and his smile became even brighter.
"Wife, it's fortunate that Xiao Tongtong isn't here today, so no one will disturb us."
Chu Nianxue's face turned red, and her heart fluttered like a startled deer. Just as she was about to say something,
Lin Xiaotian kissed her directly.
His hot breath brushed against her face, and the passionate kiss was intoxicating.
Chu Nianxue was initially a little stiff, but after feeling the heat, she slowly softened in Lin Xiaotian's arms.
After more than two minutes, Chu Nianxue suddenly trembled and grabbed Lin Xiaotian's hand.
Her beautiful eyebrows were filled with annoyance and shyness.
"Don't mess around!"
"If you do this, I'll never let you into my room again."
Lin Xiaotian chuckled. "Wife, this is completely out of my control."
"You can't blame me. After all, I'm a normal man. And having such a beautiful wife that I can only look at but not touch, do you know how difficult it is for me?"
"I feel like I'm about to explode."
"If you don't believe me, feel it."
Saying this, he suddenly hugged her tighter, as if he wanted to melt her into his embrace.
Chu Nianxue also felt something, and her beautiful, flawless face instantly turned crimson.
She hurriedly pushed the scoundrel away, her eyes not daring to meet Lin Xiaotian's. "You must come into my room tonight. Hurry up and get out!"
Lin Xiaotian grinned mischievously and dived onto the bed.
"Wife, what did you say? I didn't hear anything. Don't worry, before we officially get married, I definitely won't mess around. I just want to hold you while I sleep tonight."
"Without you by my side, I feel restless all the time."
Chu Nianxue looked at the bright and sunny smile on Lin Xiaotian's face, glared at him shyly, then put on a stern expression and walked into the bathroom.
After closing the door, she felt her heart pounding like a startled deer. Especially the internal heat she felt, it was as if she had been burned. All sorts of thoughts raced through her mind.
As the night deepened, Lin Xiaotian held her tightly in his arms.
Listening to her slightly disordered breathing, he smiled and said, "Wife, sleep peacefully. From now on, I will be your strongest fortress. I definitely won't mess around until you agree."
"When you say that, can you please take your hand out of my embrace?" Chu Nianxue's deliberately cold words, spoken with feigned anger, carried a slight tremor.
Lin Xiaotian hugged her tighter, as if he hadn't heard her, and only uttered a few words: "Goodnight, wife!"
The night was as dark as ink. Outside the villa, several figures appeared indistinctly. They landed silently and crept to the door of the room.
