As the three people wandered on the streets, Ren Baqian and the empress walked side by side while Xin Zhe followed silently behind.
After the excitement of receiving her glasses, Xin Zhe reverted to her normal quiet self, but continued observing everything around her. The blue sky, white clouds, birds, people, cars… etc. Everything looked refreshing and wonderful to her.
With the pedestrians looking at the two peerless beauties accompanying him, Ren Baqian was bursting with pride.
This type of behavior wasn’t present in Dayao, but would appear when he was on Earth.
Not returning to the homeland after striking it rich was like wearing fine clothes in the dark.
Regardless of material knowledge, the three viewpoints, and the thought processes, this was the homeland. Everyone had similar growth experiences, and everything indicated that this was the homeland.
That was why this happened here, and it accounted for his eagerness to let the world know that the person by his side was his fiancée.
“Hey! Over there!” The empress suddenly stopped and stared fixedly at a spot.
The fragrance coming from that direction was especially alluring and stopped her in her tracks.
Ren Baqian took a sniff and didn’t even have to look to know what the empress had seen.
It was a cake shop!
A short time later, they came out from the cake shop. The empress was carrying various types of desserts in her hands and throwing them into her mouth as she walked.
Behind her, Xin Zhe was taking small bites from her cake. While walking, she used her finger to measure how much was left. It was as if she was afraid of finishing the cake in two or three bites.
However, the shop behind them was busy with half of the shop staff packing cakes for delivery to the villa.
One aboriginal could support a restaurant; one empress could support one restaurant and two dessert shops.
“Why can’t you do it?” The empress threw a piece of cake into her mouth with one hand and poked his arm with the other.
She felt it was a pity that she could only eat this type of delicious food when she was on Earth, and it would be wonderful if it was available in Dayao.
“Except for bearing children, I can do anything!” Ren Baqian laughed. Learning to make cakes wasn’t hard, it was just that he hadn’t thought of it before.
However, being the husband of the empress was something an ordinary person couldn’t do. He had to understand physics and chemistry, know about industry and commerce, and cultivate his skills to the Earth Wheel level. Plus, he had to cook food, roast meat, and bake cakes…
What a versatile guy he was! How come he didn’t realize he was so talented before?
The empress looked for a place on Ren Baqian’s body to strike. After a long while, she jabbed directly at his waist with her finger. Ren Baqian was instantly paralyzed and fell forward like a log, but was caught by the neck after falling halfway and carried along with her.
From behind, Xin Zhe watched these frivolous actions between the two of them, lowered her head to look at the empress’s heels, and followed her step by step.
One day passed by and just after putting breakfast on the table the next morning, Ren Baqian rushed out excitedly to his car upon receiving a phone call.
“Big brother! I’m here to join you.” At the high-speed rail station, Ren Wannian put aside the package he was carrying and gave Ren Baqian a hug.
“You have come at the right time since we are short on people.” Ren Baqian laughed as he patted his brother’s shoulder. “You have grown taller! You are in the fourth year of university already—have you found a girlfriend yet?”
“Yes…” Ren Wannian laughed in delight.
“Did you bring her along? Let me take a look!” Ren Baqian laughed heartily.
“Coming!” Ren Wannian retreated one step and called loudly, “Qingyun, this is my older brother!”
Ren Baqian turned to look and saw a graceful lady with long hair. She was about 1.65 meters tall, wore a light blue dress, was gentle-looking, and smiled demurely when she greeted him, “How do you do?”
“This is Zhou Qingyun, my girlfriend!” Ren Wannian held her proudly by the shoulders.
“Great, let’s get into the car,” Ren Baqian said.
“Is this a self-driving car?” Ren Wannian was visibly excited when he saw the dashboard.
“Do you like it? You can drive it since I seldom use it,” Ren Baqian said casually.
“Come on, I’m just a student and not fit to drive such a good car.” Ren Wannian shook his head.
“In the future, don’t think of yourself as a student. You are working here and will need to give that impression. The people you will meet in the future will be different from those you have met as a student, so you must look the part. I do not need to care about stuff like this, but you need to care because the clothes make the man!” Ren Baqian said.
“I know! I will learn properly!” Ren Wannian nodded.
“I’m not going to let you learn—I want you to start working now, but I have someone who will help you.”
While Ren Baqian was talking with Ren Wannian, Zhou Qingyun was looking curiously at Ren Baqian from behind.
Looking at his demeanor, he didn’t look like an average person.
His comments about not needing to care about his appearance wasn’t something an average person could say. Only a person of rather high standing could say this.
On the way back to the villa, Ren Baqian and his brother chatted in the car. Zhou Qingyun managed to understand that the older brother of her boyfriend wanted to set up a martial arts company. Although she didn’t know much about this, she knew that taekwondo, MMA, and karate were more popular than other martial arts at the moment.
She wondered whether there was a future for this business.
However, to a fourth-year university student, it was a good internship program.
When she looked out of the car window after entering the villa, she was stunned.
There were two flagpoles in the courtyard with a man tightly bound to a flagpole… What was this situation?
In the courtyard, there were giant men exercising with giant barbells. They were vicious looking and exuded a murderous air from head to toe.
She had the feeling that she was entering a forbidden place.
Although Ren Wannian’s older brother looked very valiant and she wasn’t on her guard, the sight of those vicious looking men with the murderous air made her imagination run wild.
She felt like a lamb in a wolf’s den.
Was Ren Wannian’s older brother part of the underworld? Wasn’t it said that there were no gangsters in China?
Perhaps they were businessmen who did illegal deals.
Were all these people hatchet men?
Ren Wannian had seen the man hanging on the flagpole even earlier than Zhou Qingyun and couldn’t help but ask, “Big brother, what’s that?”
“Just teaching him a small lesson! Some people need it to reinforce their memory!” Ren Baqian’s plain words jolted Zhou Qingyun. Was this the lynching mentioned in legends?
His brother didn’t look like a good person! He looked more like a terrorist! This won’t do! Tonight, Ren Wannian must be persuaded not to follow in his older brother’s footsteps.
“Familiarize yourself with this place because you will be coming here quite often in the future. At night, I will get someone to send you back to the hotel,” Ren Baqian said.
“Sure!” Ren Wannian nodded. Regardless, he would listen to whatever his brother said and would come to no harm.
Ren Baqian got out of the car and shouted at the winged cavalry warriors, “Let him down.”
Although Ren Baqian had intended to let him hang until they had left the place, it wasn’t nice to hang him up there as his brother and his brother’s girlfriend were around. This was considered sparing the guy.
A winged cavalry warrior went to cut the rope. Then, Xu Wei, who was hanging there, dropped into a freefall.
The ground shook as his body, which weighed over 150 kilograms, crashed down from a height of more than ten meters.
Zhou Qingyun turned even paler. Wouldn’t this guy die from the fall?
