Chapter 37

Xiao Bing naturally couldn't starve to death. In fact, when he got home, he was already quite full, at least from drinking. He and Ye Tianming each had more than ten bottles of beer that night, and he returned home drunk.

Walking into the house, he glanced at the clock on the wall; it was already past eleven at night. Xiao Bing lay directly on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

The next morning, perhaps due to the alcohol from the previous night, Xiao Bing woke up a bit late. When he finally got out of bed, he looked at the time and saw it was already past eight in the morning. Su Xiaoxiao was still in the kitchen making soup.

Xiao Bing walked in and said in surprise, "You're still at home? Don't you have to go to school? Taking too many days off isn't good..."

"Instead of caring about your little girlfriend, you come to care about me..." Su Xiaoxiao seemed to realize that her tone was a bit off and quickly changed the subject, "It's the weekend today. I'm making soup to take to my mom."

Xiao Bing smiled and said, "Your mom must be very happy to have such a filial daughter."

Su Xiaoxiao glanced at Xiao Bing and asked, "Since it's a holiday today, aren't you planning to go on a date with Ye Xiaoxi?"

"You don't remind me, I would have forgotten." Xiao Bing's eyes lit up, and he said, "I'll call her in a bit."

That little girl Ye Xiaoxi was really attractive. Xiao Bing felt as if he had been immersed in a honey jar for the past two days. Just hearing Ye Xiaoxi's name made his heart feel sweet.

Su Xiaoxiao glared at Xiao Bing, looking straight at him with a serious face, "Xiao Bing, I have to remind you."

Xiao Bing hurriedly listened attentively. She was calling him by his full name, so he must have unknowingly offended her.

"Don't let your personal feelings affect the noodle shop's business. The Little Noodle Shop was founded by my parents through hard work. They toil every day to run the shop, not just for money, but for their hard-earned efforts, which have come at the cost of neglecting me and my sister."

Seeing Su Xiaoxiao's serious expression, Xiao Bing couldn't argue. Since he had promised to stay in the shop, he indeed hadn't been there much. Although there were some special circumstances, and sometimes it was for the Su family's affairs, now that the Su family's affairs were long over, he was the only one who could make the signature noodles. He couldn't let his personal issues affect the shop's business.

So, Xiao Bing humbly accepted the criticism. He could handle it well when faced with criticism.

Seeing that Xiao Bing didn't argue, Su Xiaoxiao huffed and said, "Actually, you inviting the divine doctor Zhang to treat my mom shows that you are quite capable. That's why he was willing to do it for you. Running a noodle shop might be a bit beneath you. But if you don't want to do it, you can say so."

Xiao Bing said, "I humbly accept the criticism and promise not to do it again."

After saying that, Xiao Bing smiled and said, "How about I make breakfast for you as an apology?"

Seeing Xiao Bing's playful smile, Su Xiaoxiao felt annoyed. She really couldn't understand what Ye Xiaoxi saw in him. He was lustful, not serious, and always had a playful smile. Was it that school beauties were all blind now?

Xiao Bing had no idea what Su Xiaoxi was thinking. If he did, he would have been furious. He was a good man, capable in bed and in the kitchen, but in her eyes, he was just this kind of person.

Su Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes at Xiao Bing and said, "Breakfast is ready, go eat it."

Su Xiaoxiao went back to making the soup.

Xiao Bing sat down and started eating his breakfast while saying, "When you go to the hospital, tell Auntie that I'm here at the shop, so she can rest assured."

"She might be at ease, but I'm not."

Xiao Bing chuckled and said, "Brother Bing is actually quite reliable. After breakfast, I'll go straight to the shop. Oh, by the way, you look really good in that outfit, like a cute little sister."

Su Xiaoxiao looked down at the apron tied around her waist and her fresh, simple clothes, and her face turned slightly red. She huffed and said, "Smooth talker."

Xiao Bing started eating with his head down. After a few buns, he put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth, and said, "I'm off."

"Come back early tonight!"

"I know!" Xiao Bing walked out the door, but suddenly thought, hearing her last words, it felt like a married couple... No, don't think too much, don't think too much.

On the way, Xiao Bing thought clearly. It wasn't Su Xiaoxiao's fault. Anyone would probably find it hard to keep a freebie in their own shop, especially when the shop lacked its signature noodles, which would affect business. But this would mean that Ye Xiaoxi would be disappointed. Sigh, today's weather was so nice, the sun was shining, and it would have been great to hold hands and walk in the woods...

Xiao Bing unknowingly walked to the noodle shop. As he stepped inside, he was surprised and asked, "Ye Xiaoxi, what are you doing here?"

The noodle shop was packed with customers. Ye Xiaoxi was wearing an apron, smiling sweetly, and serving noodles to the customers.

Putting down the bowl, Ye Xiaoxi smiled sweetly and said, "I came to help you. It's boring at home anyway. I'll come to help you every weekend, free labor!"

At the end, Ye Xiaoxi winked. Xiao Bing clutched his chest, damn, she was electrifying.

In the Heavenly King Hall.

The Northern Heavenly King, Peony Fairy, was dressed in red gauze, her face covered by a veil. She was sitting on the Heavenly King's throne. Xie Lun stood below, looking up at the alluring Peony Fairy. Even though he couldn't see her face clearly, just seeing this woman made Xie Lun's breathing quicken and his nostrils flare.

The Peony Fairy smiled seductively and said, "Mr. Xie, what brings you here again?"

Xie Lun quickly averted his gaze, took a few deep breaths, and sat down on the chair below. He took a sip of tea to calm the flames in his heart and then said, "The method the Fairy gave me last time failed."

"Oh?" The Peony Fairy laughed, "I heard about it, but there was a reason. Does Mr. Xie want to hold me accountable? Or are you asking for compensation?"

"No, no," Xie Lun laughed, "I'm not that petty. As the Fairy said, there was a reason. I didn't expect Xiao Bing to be so terrifying. The evidence of Chang Huian's bribery was in his hands. Fortunately, I had no financial dealings with Chang Huian before. Although I gave him a lot of money this time, no one has any evidence. Otherwise, I would have been implicated too!"

"Hmm." The Peony Fairy laughed, "So, Mr. Xie, are you just here to reminisce?"

"I want to ask the Fairy to take action..." Xie Lun gritted his teeth, "After much thought, only the Fairy can eliminate Xiao Bing."

"I want all your assets in the North District."

Xie Lun was taken aback and exclaimed, "Fairy, that's a huge demand! Last time..."

The Peony Fairy laughed, "I'm not finished. In addition to all your assets in the North District, I also want 50 million in cash."

Xie Lun's face turned grim. All his assets in the North District plus 50 million in cash was almost half of his wealth!

Anyone who wanted to use half of their wealth to take someone's life would refuse without hesitation, unless it was a matter of avenging a child or a spouse.

The hatred between Xiao Bing and the Xie family was deep, but it was far from that level.

Xie Lun was about to refuse when the Peony Fairy suddenly laughed, "I don't mind, but it's up to you. However, Xiao Bing and Chang Huian must have some deep-seated grudge. He had already gathered evidence of Chang Huian's crimes in advance, showing that he is vengeful and ruthless. If your family has a deep grudge with him, and given his character, he will seize any opportunity to strike back..."

Thinking of the killing intent Xiao Bing had in the hospital, Xie Lun felt a chill run down his spine. His hand trembled, and the teacup fell to the ground. The Peony Fairy saw this and a cruel look appeared in her eyes. She enjoyed this feeling, the feeling of playing with any man in her hands. These so-called clever men were not even as good as dogs in her eyes. She enjoyed watching them fight each other to the death, like two dogs tearing each other apart, covered in blood, and dying.

Although it was difficult, Xie Lun finally said what the Peony Fairy had expected, "I agree... I will transfer the companies in the North District to you, and I will immediately transfer 50 million in cash, but I have one request."

The Peony Fairy's eyes gleamed with satisfaction, and she said seductively, "Mr. Xie, what is it?"

"I want him dead!"

Xie Lun's eyes flashed with madness, and his tone was filled with madness, "If I don't kill him, he will come back to take revenge. I want him dead, to cut off the root!"

Even though Xie Lun had done many bad things, he suddenly felt that he had never been so mad in his life.

The Peony Fairy smiled, her smooth and tempting hand gently resting on the armrest, and she said seductively, "Of course, since Mr. Xie has said it, he must die..."
