Translator: 549690339
Almost everyone wanted to come forward to toast Xue An and An Yan.
An Yan just symbolically sipped some juice, with the rest naturally blocked by Xue An.
But Xue An refused no one, emptying each glass that came his way, until many had fallen, yet he showed no hint of drunkenness.
At that moment.
A timid voice came from behind.
“Xiao An, may I toast you?”
Xue An turned his head and saw Xie Jingjing holding a glass of wine, gazing at him intently.
Xue An smiled, “Sure! But you’d better not drink alcohol!”
Xie Jingjing obstinately shook her head, “Just one glass, okay?”
Xue An paused for a moment, then nodded.
They gently clinked glasses, and Xie Jingjing watched Xue An with a complex expression before whispering, “Xiao An, I wish you happiness!”
After speaking, Xie Jingjing emptied her glass in one gulp.
Xue An sighed lightly and then drank from his glass as well.
Xie Jingjing, with tears glistening in her eyes, took one more look at Xue An and then turned and ran away!
It was then that An Yan stood up and said, “I’m going to take Xiang Xiang and Nian Nian upstairs first!”
Xue An nodded.
Afterward, An Yan smiled at Tang Xuan’er and Fan Mengxue, “This is a man’s drinking party. We women should go back too!”
With that, An Yan led Tang Xuan’er and Fan Mengxue upstairs.
After they left, the atmosphere around the drinking table grew even more relaxed.
At this time, Old Xie came forward to offer his toast.
Today, Old Xie had also seen the world.
Many of Beijiang’s, and even the provincial city’s, important figures held their breath in awe before Xue An.
It seemed that Xiao An’s achievements were now beyond his own imagination.
Even so, Xue An hadn’t changed at all and was still happily drinking with him.
This made Old Xie feel very comfortable.
Therefore, after downing three glasses, he left contentedly.
At this moment, Qin Yuan came over with a glass of wine, “Mr. Xue, I’d like to offer you a toast!”
Xue An smiled and downed it in one go.
Qin Yuan smiled, “Mr. Xue, you truly can hold your liquor!” he said, and also finished his glass.
After setting down the glass, Qin Yuan’s expression turned serious.
“Mr. Xue, I have something to ask, though I’m not sure if I should.”
“Oh? What is it?”
Qin Yuan hesitated for a moment, then asked in a low voice, “May I ask what relation your wife has … with the An Family of Zhongdu?”
Xue An smiled, “That’s right, she is from the An Family!”
Understanding flashed in Qin Yuan’s eyes as he nodded, “I see, what does Mr. Xue plan to do in the future?”
“It’s simple, whoever owes me, I naturally intend to collect!” Xue An said indifferently.
Qin Yuan’s expression grew solemn, then he spoke very earnestly, “Mr. Xue, even though the An Family of Zhongdu is known as one of the top ten elite families, if you need us, the Qin Family will surely support you with all our might!”
“Moreover, I just don’t believe those elite families of Zhongdu are as formidable as the rumors suggest!”
As he spoke these words, a resolute and grim determination flashed across Qin Yuan’s face.
Xue An smiled, “A mere An Family is not worth my attention,” he said, looking up at the star-filled sky, continuing softly, “This world is much more vast than what you all see.”
That night, many people got drunk.
It was only in the early hours of the morning that people gradually dispersed.
When Xue An went upstairs, he found that An Yan was sitting on the sofa waiting for him.
A cup of hot tea was also placed on the coffee table.
Although the alcohol meant nothing to Xue An, he still drank the hot tea with a merry chuckle.
At this moment, An Yan softly said, “Fan Mengxue has left!”
Xue An was slightly taken aback, then asked with some curiosity, “Why did she leave so late?”
An Yan smiled teasingly, “What? Should she have stayed the night instead of leaving?”
Xue An was somewhat at a loss for words.
Then An Yan sighed and said, “We talked about some woman-to-woman stuff, and then she left, oh!”
Xue An wisely kept his mouth shut.
An Yan waited for a while, but Xue An did not speak. She couldn’t help but ask, “Aren’t you curious at all?”
Xue An gave a bitter smile, “Then what did you guys talk about?”
An Yan snickered, cryptically saying, “I’m not telling you! This is a little secret amongst us women!”
Xue An was both annoyed and amused by An Yan’s childish behavior. Suddenly, he picked her up and walked into the bedroom, tossing her onto the bed.
“For playing tricks on your husband, what’s the charge?” Xue An said with a stern face.
An Yan looked at Xue An with a pitiable expression, “You bully me, you actually dare to bully me… Wuu wuu wuu, I bore you two daughters, and you still dare to bully… Hahaha!”
Towards the end, An Yan couldn’t help but break into laughter first.
Xue An was also amused.
As they laughed, the room fell silent.
At this moment, the two little girls were already asleep in the next room.
All was quiet.
You could even hear each other’s heartbeat.
An Yan’s face gradually turned red, and then she carefully laid down on the bed, patting the pillow beside her.
“Aren’t you going to sleep?”
Xue An snickered and lay down as well.
The two of them just lay there silently, looking at the ceiling.
After a while, An Yan turned over and gently embraced Xue An’s waist.
Xue An smiled and gently stroked An Yan’s hair.
Then, Xue An felt a warm sensation on his chest.
He felt a tightness in his heart and looked down at An Yan.
“Wife, what’s wrong?”
An Yan lifted her head, her face wet with tears.
“Husband, I don’t even dare to sleep now. I’m afraid that all this is just a dream.”
Xue An tenderly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, “Don’t worry, this is not a dream, and in the future, I will always be by your side!”
After a silence.
An Yan whispered, “Husband, I love you!”
Xue An nodded, “I love you too!”
“Mhm!” An Yan nodded, then broke into a smile and whispered in Xue An’s ear.
“Husband, do you want it?”
The orchid-like breath tickled Xue An’s ear.
Xue An’s heartbeat sped up a half-beat and he nodded, “Of course, I do!”
An Yan’s face turned serious, “Even if you want it, not giving! Hold it in!”
But immediately after, she laughed again, then buried her head in Xue An’s chest, mumbling like a big ostrich, “If you want it… I’ll give it to you!”
Yet, Xue An shook his head, “Wife!”
“Hmm?” An Yan lifted her head.
“Your body is still weak due to the seal… Even if I want to, I have to hold back. It’s been three thousand years, anyway; I’m not afraid to wait a few more days!” Xue An said seriously.
An Yan’s eyes reddened again. Ever since she got together with Xue An, she had become more prone to crying!
“So, wife, rest assured, for my lifetime of happiness, I will also lift your seal as soon as possible!” Xue An said with a smile.
An Yan made a sound of agreement and contentedly lay in Xue An’s arms.
After a long silence.
An Yan quietly said, “Husband, did you fall asleep?”
“I’m asleep!”
“You’re terrible!” An Yan punched Xue An and then said seriously, “Xiang Xiang and Nian Nian said An Qing came over, right?”
Xue An nodded, “She did come, but then her unit was assigned a mission, and she left!”
An Yan said with some concern, “I wonder how she is doing, if there is any danger!”
Xue An smiled, “Don’t worry! She’s a computer expert and doesn’t need to go to the battlefield!”
And while they were whispering in bed.
On the highway outside Beijiang, a man covered in blood struggled to walk.
In his heart, he had only one goal.
That was to go to Beijiang, to see the man named Xue An!
This is what An Qing told him before she was captured—the last words she said!
An Qing was clear; if anyone could save her and the Phoenix Immortal troops, it would only be Xue An!
