The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Chapter 1371 - 1370: Merging the Jade Pendants

Both Jade Pendants are in hand, and without knowing what consequences might arise, recklessly joining them is a test for Tang Rao's anxious heart.Having obtained the items and repeatedly assuring the old man that he hadn't understood Tai Chi Boxing, while continuing to guide him, and promising to consider the marriage with Zhang Kexin, the old man reluctantly left.

"Ladies, such a big event like the reopening of Wen Rou Xiang, why did none of you tell me? I only saw it in a notification from Illusion City."

The women returned after closing up, just in time for Tang Rao's entrance, and he gave a playful slap on the buttocks of each one, except Bai Xiaotong.

That's Tang Rao's aunt, after all; a slap might bring heavenly retribution.

"Since you could see it in Illusion City, why should we bust ourselves telling you over and over? We have other things to do."

Besides, today Wen Rou Xiang was packed with business, even Li Shengxuan with a child in tow was called in to help at the cash register, showing just how busy they were.

Tang Rao, on the other hand, didn't concern himself, but instead kept probing just to learn something new.

"Who says so? If I'd known earlier, even if the sky was falling, I'd come to support you. Even if I forgot, I'd rush back immediately. You keep such distance; it scares me."

Pfft, who said scared? Everyone believed him except for Tang Rao.

"I believe your nonsense! It's a fact that there are many girls in Wen Rou Xiang, but can you guess who visited our Wen Rou Xiang today?"

No matter how much Tang Rao wracked his brain, he probably couldn't guess.

"Who? A celebrity? A big shot?"

No?

The women understood what Tang Rao meant. Under the introduction of Fang Jinxiu and Lei Li, the remaining women were well aware of terms like celebrity and superfan on Blue Star.

"None of that, it was Zhou Juan, the stepmother of brother Zhang Yishan. Even more unexpectedly, a woman of Zhou Juan's status, at the very least, should not step out the main doors and be sheltered, yet she not only helped us draw traffic on our reopening night but also gave me a big surprise. In front of all those people, Zhou Juan played live, and just one piece could evoke numerous memories."

Old songs are indeed old songs; in the face of what they consider classics, a woman who can sing those classics with the desired flavor is inevitably captivating.

Zhang Yishan's stepmother attended and helped Tang Rao so much, though he said nothing outwardly, his heart warmed deeply.

Who knows if Zhang Yishan has been trying to return to the Zhang Family. His wife is still waiting for good news from him at her parents' home. If he doesn't cherish every moment, why should Tang Rao worry about Zhang Yishan?

"You conceited guy, are you still hoping to know about Zhang Yishan's affairs?"

The ladies jestingly pressed Tang Rao for answers.

What Tang Rao didn't know was that before he returned, they had privately set up a bet, wagering on whether Tang Rao cared about both men and women or just the women and not the men.

Except for Lei Li's belief that Tang Rao cared about everyone, the others unanimously believed that Tang Rao would only care about the women.

This only shows how well the ladies understood Tang Rao and felt sorry for Zhang Yishan.

"Him? Who wants to know about him? The boy's got potential. I've calmed the Zhang Family for him; only a few stubborn ones remain. If he can't make a move now, he'll never make a move, with such a simple test, in three days, at most, he'll give me an answer."

He's confident enough to predict others' progress?

Arrogant fool!

Several pairs of eyes rolled toward Tang Rao's direction.

"Beauties, at Wen Rou Xiang, help me look after the ladies well. If they lose even a single hair, I'll ensure you can't get out of bed!"

Before the ladies could react, he had already bolted outside.

It's easy to obtain power, but hard to earn a lady's heart.

It's easy to earn a lady's affection, but managing relationships is tough.

Just handling the relationships among women required the same effort as governing a country for Tang Rao.

Returning to Tang Xiaobai's room, where Tang Xiaobai was relatively safe at the Kao Shan Sect, Li Shengxuan had just left, and she hadn't expected Tang Rao to come over alone without saying a word.

Tang Xiaobai was sleeping soundly, and Tang Rao didn't disturb his sweet dreams.

Holding a Jade Pendant in each hand, Tang Rao revealed a pair of Jade Pendants, discovering that the left was a dragon and the right a phoenix, with life-like carvings that almost pulled him in.

"Xiao Bai, these Jade Pendants belong to you. Dad got them all back for you."

He placed the left Jade Pendant beside Tang Xiaobai's left and the right beside his right.

Before combining, both Jade Pendants were inert, exhibiting no reactions, peacefully resting on each side of the child. The Pendants graced Tang Xiaobai's dreamy sleep.

Tang Rao continued to murmur to himself beside him.

"Son, in my lifetime I can't give you a lot, but in an instant, you're already two. By the age of three, you must possess a divine physique, because you're Tang Xiaobai, so you need higher standards."

In the end, perhaps even Tang Rao didn't know what he had said to Tang Xiaobai, who wrinkled his little brow in annoyance, stretching his limbs, only doing so much.

"Later, no matter what happens, you must believe that Dad is by your side. Your old man will be here with you, so don't be scared!"

This was Tang Rao's first expensive gift to Tang Xiaobai, a gift said to shake the entire circle, waiting in anticipation of what it could be.

Holding the Dragon-Phoenix Jade Pendants again, one in each hand, his slowly merging hands started to tremble, beyond his control.

When the Dragon and Phoenix Jade Pendants were still a palm's distance apart, Tang Rao distinctly felt a surge of suction.

After prolonged clear skies, thunder and lightning, and rain began suddenly, before the Dragon-Phoenix Jade Pendants fused, bizarre weather appeared outside; it was hard to imagine, once fused, whether the sky outside would collapse as well.

"Dad, what are you doing?"

Woken by the tremendous thunder outside, Tang Xiaobai sobered up without a tear, acting like a little adult to first question why Tang Rao was there.

"I came to check on you and bring you a gift."

Tang Rao didn't understand why, when he was about to give a gift to Tang Xiaobai, Tang Xiaobai looked utterly shocked.

Unfazed by thunder, unfazed by the dark, rainy sky, only seeing the Jade Pendants about to merge, he shouted, "Dad, they can't be joined together."

Tang Xiaobai rushed towards Tang Rao.

The Dragon-Phoenix Jade Pendants, almost merged by the suction, were forcibly separated because of Tang Xiaobai.

The thunder outside diminished, leaving Tang Rao shaken.
