ry-like demeanor didn’t help her at all. Several security guards claimed that Liu Meng had stolen something in the supermarket and wanted to take her to the security office."I’m not a thief!" Liu Meng...Chapter 1297 Reveal Your Veil, Worry-Free Chinese Network
"This place is..." Qiao Xiaoqiao glanced around and couldn't help exclaiming, "Ah, this is the Immortal Island"
Qiao Xiaoqiao had been here before. Although it was nighttime now, the island was brightly lit up, making it easy for her to recognize.
"That's right, this is the Immortal Island." Xia Tian chuckled and said with a smile, "Wife, I told you I would take you home, and this place is truly our home."
Qiao Xiaoqiao nodded lightly and couldn't help but ask again, "But husband, isn't this place not yet completed"
She had been keeping track of the progress on the Immortal Island all along. She knew that while the most important buildings were finished, there were still some other supporting structures that hadn't been completed.
"It's indeed not fully built yet, but our new home is already ready." Xia Tian tugged Qiao Xiaoqiao and pointed ahead, "Come on, I'll take you there."
Qiao Xiaoqiao nodded without speaking further. She let Xia Tian lead her to the large hybrid classical building at the center of the island.
"This is going to be our home from now on!" Upon stepping into the building, Qiao Xiaoqiao felt a bit emotional. Although it wasn't decorated yet and one couldn't feel its luxury, it was already apparent how grand this structure was, and once fully constructed, its opulence wouldn't fall short of any other building in the world.
Qiao Xiaoqiao also knew about the specific design of this building. She knew that her bedroom should be on the second floor, where there were many bedrooms, all roughly the same size to avoid distinguishing each person's space differently. However, the exact decoration would depend on each individual's preferences.
Of course, not everyone's bedroom was on the second floor; the third floor had one large bedroom for Moon Qingya, highlighting her unique status. In this future household, Moon Qingya would be singularly special, while others would be alike.
Upon reaching the second floor, Qiao Xiaoqiao immediately spotted her own bedroom—because she could see a big red double喜 character!
"Husband, this..." Qiao Xiaoqiao was somewhat surprised.
"Of course our bridal suite has to be different," Xia Tian chuckled and pulled Qiao Xiaoqiao towards the door, opening it and stepping inside.
The room was also festooned with festive colors; there were no lights on, but a pair of red candles were lit.
"Hehe, wife, put this on too," Xia Tian picked up something and handed it to Qiao Xiaoqiao.
Qiao Xiaoqiao was stunned again. Wasn't this a red veil Back then, when she was on the mountain, she really did have a wedding ceremony with Xia Tian in summer, and she had also worn this red veil.
However, Qiao Xiaoqiao quickly recovered her senses, walked to the side of the bed, put on the red veil, and then gently sat at the edge of the bed. Although the evening dress looked a bit strange with the red veil, she didn't mind. She knew that her husband wanted her first night to be special, and she was undoubtedly the first woman who truly began living on God Island.
"Honey, I'm going to lift your red veil now," Xia Tian said at this moment.
Qiao Xiaoqiao didn't say anything; she just nodded gently. Then, she found that her sight brightened again, as Xia Tian had lifted the red veil from her head.
Beneath the illumination of the red candles, Qiao Xiaoqiao's fair face was now tinged with a light blush. At this moment, she looked even more luscious and enticing, like a hibiscus flower about to bloom.
"Honey, tonight is our real wedding night," Xia Tian gently lowered his head and kissed Qiao Xiaoqiao's cherry lips as they slowly fell onto the bed together.
Three years ago on Green Peak Mountain, Xia Tian had lifted Qiao Xiaoqiao’s red veil but then merely cuddled with her in bed. At that time, she was frail and couldn't endure such vigorous activity. But now three years later, Qiao Xiaoqiao was no longer the same person; her body had been conditioned to be even better than most girls, and she had matured physically. She was now at her best condition to welcome this sacred moment.
She had always believed that in Xia Tian's eyes, she was unique. Although after descending the mountain, Xia Tian spent more time with other women and didn't seem to stay at home for long each time he returned, she had always been confident that he doted on her. And tonight’s actions further confirmed this belief; choosing a special place to consummate their marriage night which they should have done earlier.
The next day, the weather was clear and fine.
In the early morning at North Lake, a cool breeze blew gently. At this time of year when there is still a significant temperature difference between day and night, one couldn't help but shiver from the cold wind. When Qian Duoduo first arrived on the island, he shivered a few times and instinctively fastened his overcoat tighter.
Qian Duoduo personally oversees the construction site every day now, although he isn't an expert himself. However, it doesn't matter because he has a group of professionals under him. All he needs to do is manage these experts and ensure that each area is done perfectly. Although building houses isn't his expertise, he currently considers this task as one of the most important things.
As for making money, while it's also important, there must be life to enjoy wealth. The events in the capital a few months ago left him disheartened and even frightened. Even though it was his own brother who had targeted him, he well understood that this wasn't simply due to jealousy but involved deeper reasons. To put it bluntly, someone else in the capital wanted to harm him.
When one can no longer rely on their siblings, Qian Duoduo realized he needed an ally or, more accurately, a protector. The power of the Qian family has always been in making money. Money can change many things and buy many people, but it often cannot buy someone who could save your life at a critical moment.
Qian Duoduo knew that Xia Tian was such a person who could save lives at critical moments, whether from illness or strong enemies. Of course, he also understood that Xia Tian wasn't the kind of person who could be bought with money. Unfortunately for him, unlike Zhao Gongzi who had many beautiful sisters under his care, their Qian family didn't lack girls, but they truly lacked beautiful ones.
Unable to use beauty to attract Xia Tian, Qian Duoduo could only personally help Xia Tian himself now. Currently, he was already in charge of managing money for Xia Tian, yet he knew that what Xia Tian valued the most wasn't money; it was building this house.
Qian Duoduo was very clear that Xia Tian placed great importance on this house, and he believed that if he could build this house well, Xia Tian would surely remember him in the future. If anything needed help, Xia Tian should also be willing to assist him. Furthermore, even if Xia Tian didn't want to personally intervene, Qian Duoduo felt he could simply ask for Xia Tian's wife's assistance.
In these months, Qian Duoduo found that the greatest benefit of building this house himself was that he had developed some rapport with Summer's wives. In the future, whether for big or small matters, asking them for help shouldn't be a problem.
"Qian Duoduo, are you taking a cool morning breeze" A voice suddenly came from behind, startling Qian Duoduo out of his thoughts.
When Qian Duoduo turned around, he was momentarily stunned. Not only did he see Summer, but also the radiant and charming Qiao Xiaoqiao dressed in a fiery red wedding gown, leaning against Summer as if she were a little bird dependent on its mother. Her fair face still had traces of lingering blush, and her eyes still held hints of passion from last night. Even without experience in this matter, one could guess that Qiao Xiaoqiao had officially evolved from a genius girl to a genius woman.
"Summer, Miss Qiao, good morning!" Qian Duoduo greeted them with a smile but felt relieved inside.
Yesterday, Summer had asked him to prepare the house and later requested red candles and a red veil. Although he had prepared everything as instructed, he couldn't shake off an uneasy feeling. He thought that Summer was about to harm Wang Xiaoya who was only twelve years old. Despite repeatedly telling himself that Wang Xiaoya would eventually fall victim to Summer sooner or later, it felt strange in his heart, like pushing a little girl into a fiery pit.
Seeing Qiao Xiaoqiao today finally made him understand that last night wasn't about bringing Wang Xiaoya here for the night but instead was about spending their wedding night with Qiao Xiaoqiao. He couldn't help telling himself that his impression of Summer had been correct all along; though this guy often acted unpredictably and irrationally, he hadn't sunk to the level of harming a twelve-year-old girl.
"Mr. Qian, you've come so early, thank you for your hard work," said Qiao Xiaoqiao with a gentle smile, then tugged at Summer's sleeve in a lowered voice, "Honey, shall we go back to my place"
"Alright." Summer nodded and then embraced Qiao Xiaoqiao as they walked away on the water.
Qiao family, Qiao Xiaoqiao's villa.
"Hey, Feng'er, wake up!" Qiao Feng'er was roused by Qiao Huang'er and realized that she had actually slept on the sofa all night.
"It's already eight o'clock!" Qiao Feng'er looked at the time and grumbled before asking, "Huang'er, has Miss Qiao returned"
"Not yet." Qiao Huang'er shook her head and added at last, "Summer hasn't come back either."
"That damn rogue, he's really messing with Miss Qiao," said Qiao Feng'er resentfully.
"If you don't want Miss Qiao to be messed with, just give yourself to Summer to mess with," Qiao Huang'er teased half-jokingly.
"I wouldn't give myself to that rogue for him to mess with!" said Qiao Feng'er resentfully.
Just as she finished speaking, a voice was heard from the doorway: "I'm too lazy to mess with you!"e" Xia Tian was still confused.Song Yumei seemed to be pondering as she got dressed. When she finished dressing, it was as if a sudden thought struck her: "Oh right, didn’t you say that someone from C...
