Long Wu’s scent could be smelled from afar as she ran out of the mansion. She ran directly towards Long Kun, grabbed onto his arm, and said, “Father, I don’t want to marry him. I want to be with you forever!”
Ling Yun found it funny when he heard that. He sniffed his tea while staring at Long Wu daringly. Long Wu’s face was blushing as Ling Yun kept staring at her tall and fiery figure.
Ling Yun even intentionally sniffed the fragrance off Long Wu’s body. He felt that Long Wu’s face, figure, and fragrance were really fitting to be a wife.
Long Wu became even more humiliated when she saw how Ling Yun was sizing her up. She simply shook Long Kun’s arm and said, “Father, did you forget about the time when Ling Yun hit me? It still hurts even now...”
Long Kun looked meaningfully at Ling Yun before chuckling. “This is between the two of you. I’m in no position to interfere...”
Ling Yun was sweating profusely. This Uncle Long was indeed very straightforward regarding this matter. Ling Yun had only met Long Wu several times, and he was willing to accept him merely because of some ridiculous arranged betrothal?
Long Wu grew even shyer, but her shyness didn’t last long. Shortly after, she extended her delicate arm towards Ling Yun and said, “Hand it over!”
Ling Yun was taken aback as he asked, “Hand what over?”
Long Wu stomped her foot and glared at Ling Yun. “What else? My betrothal gift!”
Doughty, way too doughty!
Ling Yun rubbed his nose and looked at Long Wu as though he was looking at a monster. “Didn’t you just say that you don’t want to marry me? Since you’re not going to marry me, why is there a need for the betrothal gift?”
Long Wu shook her hand once more as she said with pride, “Marrying and gifting of the betrothal gift are two different matters! Hand it over!”
Ling Yun didn’t answer as his gaze shifted to Long Wu’s perfectly round and perky bottom. He was considering which part of her butt he should hit so that it would result in the greatest bounce.
“What are you looking at!” When Long Wu saw the direction of Ling Yun’s gaze, she hurriedly covered her butt as her face turned red again.
Ling Yun snickered and started making fun of Long Wu. “Since my wife isn’t listening to me, I’m wondering if I should implement some house punishments...”
“You... if you dare to hit me again, I’ll bite you to death!” Long Wu made the biting action towards Ling Yun.
Long Kun laughed out loud as he pretended not to have seen or heard anything. He simply lifted his head to admire the scenery of the mountains as though none of this was related to him.
“You really want the betrothal gift?” Ling Yun chuckled as he continued staring at Long Wu’s alluring and graceful figure.
Long Wu grunted, “Of course I want it! Only a fool wouldn’t want it! If I leave it with you, you might give it to some other vixen!”
Ling Yun realized that Long Wu’s guess was indeed right. He gave out eighteen Night-Luminescent Pearls to Xue Meining, one to Kong Xiuru, and was about to give out one more to surprise Yao Rou. He was indeed constantly giving them away.
“I can give you the betrothal gift, but you must promise to marry me. Only then will I...” Ling Yun intentionally teased Long Wu.
Long Wu refused to budge from her stand as she replied, “If you want me to marry you, you have to make me like you. Otherwise, you can forget about it. However, you have to give me the betrothal gift first!”
This was obviously harassment, so Ling Yun had no other choice. He simply took out two Night-Luminescent Pearls from his spatial ring before saying, “These two are for you. Are you happy now?”
Long Wu saw two of Ling Yun’s Night-Luminescent Pearls at the Linjiang Garden previously. Now that Ling Yun actually brought out both of the pearls, happiness flashed past her dazzled eyes.
“This is what I expect of you...” Long Wu cautiously took the two Night-Luminescent Pearls from Ling Yun’s hands.
The afternoon sunlight piercing through the leaves of the trees was reflected off the Night-Luminescent Pearls. It was simply too gorgeous for Long Wu to take her eyes off it.
“Father, this is for you...” Long Wu’s face was blushing as she turned towards Long Kun.
Long Kun didn’t even look at his own precious daughter as he nodded towards Ling Yun. He smiled and said to Long Wu, “Wu’Er, since Ling Yun gave the betrothal gift to you, you should keep it well. There is no need to ask me about it.”
“En...” Long Wu nodded as she looked deeply into Ling Yun’s eyes. “You have a good heart, but I have yet to agree to marry you. I will need to see your future performance in front of me...”
Ling Yun thought to himself that she could continue acting all she wanted. If she didn’t want to marry him, why did she come all the way to Qingshui High just to sit beside him?
Ling Yun laughed and said, “What do you want to see from me?”
Long Wu smiled and said, “I don’t want you to bully me anymore. Also, I don’t allow you to be unfaithful! I don’t want you to have so many unclear relationships with so many girls!”
Ling Yun was wondering who he could bully if he didn’t bully her. Moreover, he was going to head back tonight to be intimate with Lin Menghan. Before she agreed to be his wife, she was already trying to control him? Wasn’t she controlling a little too much?
Ling Yun refused to comment and simply smiled and said, “You don’t have to be so anxious because I want to see how you perform too. If you don’t perform well, I will cancel this marriage with you anytime I want and take back the betrothal gift...”
While Long Wu’s face was still red, she started scolding him, saying, “Don’t you dare!” However, she whispered after shouting, “You... How do you want me to perform?”
Ling Yun felt that Long Wu was really a two-faced but lovable doll. When she got demanding, she was even more ridiculous than Xue Meining.
He lifted his head to look at Long Wu’s innocent face before replying, “You have to fulfill two conditions. The first is that you aren’t to put on so much brainless makeup on your face. Is it really fun to turn your beautiful face into something so ugly?”
“As for the second... you simply have to wear a little more next time!”
After hearing the first one, Long Wu wanted to refute, but when she heard the second condition, she was inwardly shy and delighted in her heart. However, she muttered, “Why must you care so much about what makeup I put on and what I wear? I won’t care about you anymore!”
As Long Wu spoke, she glared at Ling Yun and held onto the two Night-Luminescent Pearls tightly. She walked back into the mansion cautiously.
Long Kun was enjoying himself while listening to the ‘couple’ argue. Only when Long Wu went into the mansion did he speak. “Nephew ah, my daughter has been spoiled by me, so you have to give in to her occasionally. However, don’t worry too much about it either. Wu’Er studied in America for six years and is a graduate with a master’s degree from Harvard Law. She is still a logical person.”
Naturally, Ling Yun knew that Long Wu was a well-mannered person with strong willpower. It was because she was so independent that she became too opinionated. She was merely a little unreasonable, but this better portrayed her true character, which Ling Yun liked very much.
He simply smiled faintly. “Uncle Long, I know.”
Long Kun nodded his head before coughing to clear his throat. Shortly after, he started talking to Ling Yun about a serious matter. “Nephew, I think Luo Zhong will fall from power over the next few days. I wonder, what is your plan for the future?”
Ling Yun replied, “Uncle Long, I am still a senior high school student, so the most important thing ahead of me is the college entrance exams. I’ve promised my mother that I will get into Yanjing University.”
Long Kun nodded and scratched his chin. “Then Green Dragon...”
Ling Yun was already prepared for this. He smiled and said, “Uncle Long, you’ve managed Green Dragon for so many years now... Are you really willing to hand Green Dragon over to me?”
Long Kun laughed and said, “Nephew, Uncle Long knows that you’re really strong and that you might not think of Green Dragon as anything much. However, I’m not exaggerating when I say that Green Dragon is definitely a formidable force in Jiangnan Province and especially in Qingshui City. If a man wants to make it big, you cannot do everything by yourself. Sooner or later, you will need help...”
“Uncle Long is getting old, and nothing I do is as strong as I wish. Moreover, I don’t think I can continue hanging out with all these youngsters nowadays. Therefore, I was hoping you could take over for me earlier so that I can have an early retirement...”
After hearing Long Kun explain it this way, Ling Yun knew that he was already preparing for his retirement. He simply smiled and said, “Uncle Long, I actually established a force just yesterday, and they’re called Judgement. The first batch of members we accepted were Dao Yong and his men from Linjiang Road. I’ve allowed Tie Xiaohu to take charge...”
Long Kun laughed. “Dao Yong? They have been offering us gifts every month. Looking at how obedient they’ve been, I’ve never found any trouble with them. It’s great that you’ve managed to recruit all of them!”
“Judgement... This is a pretty decent name! Really aggressive! I did nurture Tie Xiaohu myself, and he managed to make a name for himself in Green Dragon too. How about this? You let Tie Xiaohu come visit me when he’s free, and I’ll let him handle the matters of Green Dragon. What do you think?”
Ling Yun wanted this to happen too. He had no time to settle the matters of a gang, but the reason he wanted to take over Green Dragon was so that he could garner enough manpower if he ever needed them in the future. As for the other matters, he really wasn’t too concerned about it.
Ling Yun nodded in agreement immediately and heard Long Kun again. “In Green Dragon, there are two very important things. The first one is the name list of Green Dragon, then there’s Green Dragon’s account book. Do you want me to hand this to you or hand it straight to Tie Xiaohu...”
Ling Yun knew that Long Kun was still slightly skeptical of Tie Xiaohu. Therefore, he smiled confidently. “Uncle Long, I feel at ease trusting Tie Xiaohu with these.”
Ling Yun didn’t say much as Long Kun understood the meaning of his words. “It seems like Uncle Long thinks too much. Alright, then I’ll hand everything to him.”
“Uncle Long, don’t worry! It’s not going to be a problem.”
After the two of them finished their discussion, Long Kun suddenly looked towards the living room, lowered his voice, and said to Ling Yun, “Nephew, it’s normal for an outstanding man to have a few ladies around him. Wu’Er might say some things, but she is quite an open-minded girl at heart. I hope you don’t take some of her words too seriously...”
After hearing that, Ling Yun felt that it was hard to find such a fair and reasonable father-in-law nowadays. He simply transmitted a telepathic message to say, “Uncle Long, don’t worry... I will continue to spoil her.”
