Chapter 651: That Day, Sang Zhe Remembered
The next morning, Sang Zhe took Little Ying You back home.
He thought the little girl would throw a fit, whining that she wanted him to play with her a few more days, but she didn’t.
She was strangely quiet all the way.
So much so that Sang Zhe felt a bit on edge, wondering if she was plotting something behind his back.
However, until they got home, Little Ying You still looked obedient. After a simple meal and washing up, she immediately suggested going back to school.
This made Sang Zhe a bit suspicious.
“Wifey, why do I feel like I’ve messed up my daughter during this trip? Is she going to become a recluse?”
“Let’s set aside Little Ying You’s matters for now.”
Zhang Xiaoying coughed lightly: “Let’s talk about business first.”
“Come out.”
Sang Zhe was still confused until he suddenly saw Xu Hongyi peeking her little head from the doorway.
Xu Hongyi seemed a bit shy, and after glancing at Sang Zhe, she immediately withdrew.
Sang Zhe: “?”
“Wait, what are you doing here? I searched for you for years and couldn’t find you, yet you just show up in my house?”
“I…” Xu Hongyi nervously averted her gaze.
“What if I told you she’s been hiding in our house all these years?” Zhang Xiaoying sighed dramatically, “She’s even been seeing your, um, bare self every day.”
Sang Zhe: “??”
……
That was quite a lot to take in, and it took some time to process.
Once Sang Zhe figured everything out, he fell into silence for a long time, then suddenly burst out laughing.
“……Impressive.” This was seemingly the only adjective he could come up with.
After all this time, the mastermind behind everything was himself from start to finish.
Sang Zhe even felt guilty for a moment, wondering if he was too cold-hearted.
He ended up laughing at himself.
“So, my underwear didn’t go missing; it was taken by you guys, huh?”
In the end, he could only chuckle and shake his head: “I actually thought there was a pervert in the hotel who stole my underwear.”
Zhang Xiaoying stared at him and asked, “Is that all you want to say, my husband?”
“Uh, there’s more.”
Sang Zhe eagerly said, “So, can I have that underwear back now?”
Zhang Xiaoying: “…”
One could tell.
Her husband really liked that piece of underwear.
“Shouldn’t you be asking how to handle her instead?”
Zhang Xiaoying softly said, “I already talked to Miss Hongyi. She is willing to accept all your decisions.”
“If you know she lied to you and don’t plan to forgive her like before, then let her leave the Abyss Realm. She won’t complain.”
Sang Zhe looked complicated and sighed for a long time: “……I can’t say I forgive her either.”
“After all, I’m the one who came up with this lame plan. If anything, she’s innocent.”
“Let’s just drop this matter.”
Zhang Xiaoying exchanged a glance with Xu Hongyi.
“Well then, Miss Hongyi, moving forward…”
“This, rather than asking me,” Sang Zhe walked over to Zhang Xiaoying and cleared his throat, “you should probably ask your wife.”
“Our Sang family rules state that regardless of marrying wives or concubines, one should always seek your opinion first, right?”
Upon hearing this, Xu Hongyi immediately snuggled up to Zhang Xiaoying, looking pitiful.
She tightly held Zhang Xiaoying’s hand, her eyes shining with hope and pleading built up from the past.
Zhang Xiaoying: “…”
“……Sigh.”
In the end, it only turned into a long-suffering sigh.
“What else is there to say?”
“The Sang residence is so big; it’s not like there isn’t enough space.”
Xu Hongyi’s face instantly lit up with joy.
“However, there’s just one requirement.”
Zhang Xiaoying looked at Xu Hongyi and said, “We’ve all heard about your deeds in the Falling Red Realm.”
“In your territory, it’s your freedom to do as you please. But once you enter the Sang’s, you’ll need to follow the rules.”
Not only did Xu Hongyi look confused, but Sang Zhe was also puzzled.
What rules does the Sang family have?
How come I don’t even know?
“……There’s only one rule: my husband is not to be monopolized for too long; you need to learn to share with the sisters.” Zhang Xiaoying whispered into Xu Hongyi’s ear, “I’ll add you to the group, and I’ll send the schedule in there.”
Xu Hongyi obediently nodded.
Sang Zhe: “?”
So you really do have a secret group behind my back.
“Alright, the next part of the time is for you two.”
Zhang Xiaoying slowly stood up, and before leaving, she casually turned around and said, “But remember to come to my room tonight, I have something to tell you.”
With that, she turned and left, even shutting the door behind them.
The room was left with only Sang Zhe and Xu Hongyi, facing each other.
Xu Hongyi looked really anxious and finally whispered, “Are… are you really not angry with me anymore?”
“What’s there to be angry about?”
Sang Zhe smiled helplessly: “Even if I knew it was a play, it wouldn’t make much of a difference.”
A Primordial Deity.
Even if it was just a play, being able to fully restore her entire causality for himself was enough to move him.
He could only say, no one knows oneself better than oneself.
The First Deity/Demon’s plan was almost an open scheme; even if Sang Zhe knew the truth from the start, it was hard not to feel touched when Xu Hongyi restored her causality.
“In comparison, what I really want to say is…”
He pondered for a moment, walked over, and rubbed Xu Hongyi’s hair: “Even if it’s acting, don’t pay such a heavy price for others next time.”
Xu Hongyi’s cheeks bloomed with a shy, happy blush, and she softly said, “It’s okay, as long as it’s for you, I have no regrets at all.”
Seeing her like this, Sang Zhe realized that his lecturing was basically useless.
This girl’s love-struck brain was extremely exaggerated; it was better not to argue with her.
“And about Yi Yi…”
Sang Zhe added: “I owe you an apology.”
“It’s okay.”
Xu Hongyi gently hugged Sang Zhe, burying her head in his embrace, murmuring, “I’ve accepted the fact that Yi Yi is fake.”
“But if you really want to make it up to me…”
“Then let’s create a real child of our own, shall we?”
Sang Zhe: “?”
He looked at Xu Hongyi, who had quietly untied her clothes, and after a long time managed to sputter out:
“Wait, are you that eager?”
“Can I not be eager?!”
At that moment, Xu Hongyi finally revealed a greedy and desperate look in her eyes: “Four years! Four years!”
“Do you know how I lived these four years?”
“I smelled your scent every day as I watched you being all lovey-dovey with other women, yet I had no outlet for my feelings.”
“I was seriously about to go crazy! I can’t take it anymore!”
With that, Xu Hongyi pushed Sang Zhe onto the bed, and not only did terrifying memories from a certain period gradually resurface in his mind, but Sang Zhe suddenly felt a surge of fear.
“Wait… let’s talk this out; I just brought my daughter back. Can’t you at least let me rest for a bit—ah! Wuwu help—”
That day, Sang Zhe remembered.
The fear of once being drained by a woman to the point of having a psychological shadow.
