My Brilliant CEO Wife

Chapter 826 - 827: The Calm Before the Storm

"Old master, rest assured, I will definitely not let down little Seductive Snake!" Yun Hao looked seriously at Xiao Zhenye, promising him as a younger generation would."That's good. I believe you. However, I want to remind you that quite a few young people will likely challenge you because you've taken the woman they admire. The latest will be tomorrow. If no elder from their families steps in, I also cannot help you, but I can guarantee your safety!"

Xiao Zhenye nodded with satisfaction and then turned the conversation to give Yun Hao a solemn reminder.

"I anticipated this. Even if they don't come, I will seek them out. My woman, Yun Hao's woman – how dare they lay a finger on her? However, there is one thing, please help me, old master!"

Yun Hao paused here, then continued, "If I accidentally kill these people..."

"Don't worry, as long as this old man is here, even if you kill many people, no one will dare to touch you!" Before Yun Hao could finish, Xiao Zhenye had already guessed Yun Hao's point and assured him, alleviating his concerns.

As Yun Hao left Xiao Zhenye's room, Seductive Snake hurriedly approached him, wordlessly and attentively checking Yun Hao's body for injuries.

"Little Seductive Snake, even if you're really impatient, there's no need to be so eager. We're still outside, after all. Although no one usually comes in, what if your grandpa sees us? It would be so embarrassing!"

Yun Hao looked at Seductive Snake with feigned shyness, speaking with embarrassment.

Oh, please, this guy is never serious for a moment. How does he not see that I'm concerned whether he's hurt?

"Let's go back to my place!" Finding Yun Hao unharmed, Seductive Snake didn't want to waste words, so she turned and pulled Yun Hao outside the yard.

"Emma, my little Seductive Snake, let's have the kitchen send some food. I'm afraid I won't have enough strength to serve you comfortably if I'm too hungry!" Yun Hao seemed reluctant as Seductive Snake led him out.

"There's a kitchen at my place; I'll have the chef cook for you when we get back! Hope it fills you up!" Seductive Snake retorted, exasperated by Yun Hao, whose every word seemed to take on a suggestive tone.

"That's great! While the chef's cooking, we can get cozy for a bit. Let me give you a kiss first!" Yun Hao quickly closed the gap between him and Seductive Snake with two big steps.

"Ugh..." Seductive Snake was utterly undone by this guy who was somehow more forward than her. People were passing by; couldn't he wait until they were back in her courtyard to tease her?

But the feeling was undeniably wonderful. How did this rascal get so good at kissing? He must have practiced with other women!

The passing Xiao Family members were wide-eyed in disbelief at seeing their eldest miss openly kissing this mysterious boyfriend right on the street.

Ultimately, unable to resist Yun Hao's advances, Seductive Snake was scooped up into Yun Hao's arms, nestling against him like a delicate bird, her lotus-like arms tightly encircling his neck.

Unbeknownst to Yun Hao and Seductive Snake, a young man not far away watched their silhouettes departing, his eyes flashing with malice.

"Damn it, how dare you steal my woman, damn you!" The young man fumed, punching a nearby tree in anger.

"Greetings, Third Young Master!" Passing servants bowed respectfully upon seeing the young man.

If Seductive Snake were here, she'd recognize this man as the son of her third uncle, Xiao Sanhai. He was Xiao Tian, the third in his generation.

However, Xiao Tian wasn't actually his third uncle's biological son. Xiao Sanhai had been injured young and couldn't father children; Xiao Tian was adopted from an orphanage.

Because of this, Xiao Tian had liked Seductive Snake since childhood, liked her fervently. When he learned she'd been betrothed to Hua Qiang, he'd vowed to cultivate hard, defeat Hua Qiang, and win Seductive Snake for himself!

Now he'd reached the middle stage of Fifth Grade, but out of the blue, Yun Hao swooped in and stole Seductive Snake away. How could he not be furious?

Seeing Yun Hao and Seductive Snake so intimate was nothing less than adding fuel to the fire for him!

Yun Hao knew nothing of this; even if he did, he wouldn't concern himself with the likes of Xiao Tian. It's not like potential threats were sparse – he couldn't possibly take every Tom, Dick, and Harry seriously, could he?

If he did, he'd spend all day just managing those cats and dogs!

After arriving at Seductive Snake's courtyard, she instructed the chef to prepare some food, then was carried inside by Yun Hao for the first round of "battle"!

Yun Hao timed it perfectly; ten minutes before the food was ready, he finished the first 'battle' with Seductive Snake, cleaned up, and was ready to eat.

Yun Hao and Seductive Snake were living leisurely, but during their leisure, the entire Xiao Family was astir. Many families, having learned of Seductive Snake's return with a boyfriend, were rushing over!

This included the Hua Family on Hua Haojing's side, the Huang Family contacted by Xiao Erhai, and the Li Family reached by Xiao Sanhai!

Within the Xiao Family, discussions were rife, and those with sharper instincts detected something unusual in the air!

It seemed that upheaval was brewing in the Xiao Family!

By evening, Yun Hao and Seductive Snake were already dressed, waiting in the courtyard to be summoned by Xiao Zhenye!

Though they hadn't left the courtyard, they were aware of the outside commotion. Now that everyone had arrived, there was no need to wait until tomorrow. Tonight seemed perfect!

Indeed, just before dinner, Xiao Zhenye sent someone, saying members from the other three families had arrived, and the old master was inviting them to the banquet hall!

Yun Hao and Seductive Snake stood up, following the servant to the Xiao Family's banquet hall!
