Ye Tong Is So Good It Hurts

Xu Shou didn't say a word, smoking a cigarette while watching the video.

He really couldn't figure out which sect or school Xu Mu came from.

His combat skills were incredibly formidable. He didn't seem like a young man at all, but rather a veteran who had spent years honing himself on the brink of death.

Xu Shou frowned. Something wasn't right.

Hadn't this kid been living right under his nose all this time?

Of course, there were times when he wouldn't come home for a few days, but Xu Shou had always assumed he was just out partying with other rich kids.

It seemed the kid had been using that time to go out and train.

Otherwise, how could he possess such exquisite skills?

"Hahaha! This kid really lives up to being my son."

Xu Shou couldn't help but laugh out loud. "I really misjudged him before."

"Boss, your reaction time is too slow. We're talking about Old Fan. He isn't dead yet."

Jiang Mingzhuo chuckled from the side.

"I heard you. So what are we waiting for?"

Xu Shou tossed the phone to Jiang Mingzhuo. "Let's go to Kunlun!"

...

After getting up and washing up, Xu Mu looked at his body in the mirror and found that the areas injured yesterday were almost completely healed.

It seemed that with a stronger physique, his natural recovery ability had also increased.

Opening his door, he went to Ye Yu's room and saw that Ye Tong was already up and getting dressed.

"Hubby."

Ye Tong looked a little surprised when she noticed Xu Mu. "How did you know I was here?"

"Underestimating me? With my current realm, I'd be useless if I couldn't sense someone in the next room."

Xu Mu smiled as he walked over to Ye Tong. "Wifey, it's still early anyway, how about we have some fun for a bit?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? I have to go to work soon."

Ye Tong's cheeks instantly turned bright red. "Go find Feng Yue."

Hearing this, Xu Mu's eyes suddenly grew serious. What did Ye Tong mean by that?

Did she already know about his relationship with Feng Yue?

He had decided to come clean to Ye Tong this time anyway; keeping it a secret was weighing heavily on his conscience.

"Wifey, there's something I need to tell you."

Xu Mu dropped his joking demeanor and took the initiative to sit beside Ye Tong. "I actually... have a relationship with Feng Yue now."

Ye Tong's expression froze at these words, but then, she felt a bit moved inside.

She hadn't expected Xu Mu to bring it up on his own. Clearly, he still thought she was kept in the dark.

Instead of choosing to sneak around forever.

Seeing Ye Tong remain silent, Xu Mu felt uneasy.

He understood how she felt. Any woman in her shoes would definitely be furious.

"Then there's nothing to be done."

Ye Tong sighed softly.

Hearing this, Xu Mu's expression changed. He gripped Ye Tong's hand tightly, not wanting her to leave him.

But if she truly insisted on leaving, he would respect her choice.

Quietly protecting her from the shadows in the future would be enough.

"Hubby, you'll just have to marry her. Anyway, the Xu family is considered a hidden aristocratic family now, so people won't gossip."

"Ah?"

Xu Mu was dumbfounded on the spot upon hearing this.

He hadn't expected Ye Tong to give such an answer.

In truth, after confessing, he had been genuinely a little afraid.

He was afraid she would leave him, and afraid she would make him choose between them.

Like, he could only pick either her or Feng Yue.

Xu Mu didn't want to face either of those scenarios.

"Hubby, I've told you before that I don't care about your other women. You are the leader of this family, and I will unconditionally support whatever you want to do. You just have to promise me one thing."

Ye Tong paused for a moment. "In the future, if you marry a woman who is better and more beautiful than me, please don't cast me aside."

"How is that possible? You will always be my wife. I'll never meet a woman better than you in this lifetime."

Xu Mu pulled Ye Tong tightly into his arms.

Ye Tong was not only a good woman, but she was so good that it made Xu Mu's heart ache for her.

"Actually, I can tell that it's not just Feng Yue. Wanyue and Xingluo, and Guoguo too, are all interested in you. Why don't you take them in as well?"

Ye Tong prepared to strike while the iron was hot.

She had realized her own shortcomings. She and Feng Yue together couldn't fully handle Xu Mu.

But if they added a few others, they could definitely manage.

Currently, the best candidates in her mind were Meng Wanyue and Dai Xingluo. Both of them liked Xu Mu, which was obvious to anyone with eyes.

But if she had to say which of the two would make the first move, she thought it would be Dai Xingluo.

This time, it was mainly because Xu Mu went out and took Meng Wanyue and Dai Xingluo with him.

That was why Ye Tong's plan had been delayed. But this time, taking advantage of this opportunity, it might actually succeed.

"Don't talk nonsense. These things depend on fate."

Xu Mu tapped Ye Tong's forehead, not knowing what was going through her mind.

"I'll listen to you, since you're the leader of the family."

Ye Tong chuckled softly.

"Wifey, do you know how to write the character for leader?"

Xu Mu asked suddenly.

"How?"

Ye Tong was confused, not understanding what Xu Mu meant.

"With a little extra on top of today's page."

Xu Mu pinned Ye Tong down and whispered in her ear.

Hearing this, the base of Ye Tong's ears turned pink. "You're so bad!"

In the end, the two still engaged in a frank exchange.

"Hubby, I'm going to be late."

"You're already late."

"I'm an hour late."

...

Finally, Ye Tong pushed Xu Mu away and left Ye Yu's room as if fleeing.

Xu Mu watched Ye Tong's retreating back with a smile on his face.

Sometimes, Xu Mu felt that he was truly lucky to have met a woman like Ye Tong.

After washing up, Ye Tong went to the kitchen to cook.

"Weren't you running late? You still have time to cook."

Xu Mu walked downstairs.

"I took the morning off."

Ye Tong poked her head out from the kitchen.

Xu Mu nodded slightly and sat on the sofa, preparing to briefly clear the messages on his phone.

Apart from the few familiar people from before, there were also messages from a few people he hardly ever contacted.

For example, Qin Ju, the old patriarch of the Qin family in Jiangnan.

He specifically congratulated Xu Mu and asked why he hadn't been notified when the Xu family's businesses expanded to Jiangnan.

Xu Mu knew very well that the Qin family had long known about the Xu family expanding their business to Jiangnan, but they had never stepped forward.

Perhaps they were waiting for Xu Mu to visit them first; if they took the initiative, they would appear inferior.

But they also hadn't expected the Xu family to establish a firm foothold so easily.

Now, Qin Ju had no choice but to speak up first, because Xu Mu's strength could suppress the geniuses of the five major sects.

This had already exceeded the Qin family's imagination. If they kept putting on airs now, they would end up wasting this powerful connection.

Xu Mu simply replied that he had been too busy recently to pay attention to the family company, and that he would find time to pay them a visit.

Besides Qin Ju, Gu Yongming, the patriarch of one of the three major assassin families whom Ye Chen had hired before, also sent a message.

If he hadn't sent a message, Xu Mu would have forgotten about this person.

He was one of the founders of the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons software, and his granddaughter, Gu Ruoruo, was part of Ye Chen's harem.

Gu Yongming also congratulated Xu Mu and asked why he still hadn't come over to visit the Gu family as promised before.

Xu Mu looked at the messages and shook his head slightly. "Once a person rises in status, distant relatives and long-lost friends suddenly start coming out of the woodwork."

...

Meanwhile, Ye Chen emerged from a ruin. He looked up at the sky, his gaze as sharp as a blade.

Sometimes, even he couldn't help but marvel at his own incredible luck.

Xu Mu... was finally going to pay the price.
