Chapter 16 Marrying Jin Ruoyan
"Senior Brother Chen Xuan, Xiao Ping'an looks just like you. He'll definitely grow up to be a handsome young man!" Liu Yanxin said, looking at Chen Ping'an with mixed feelings.
Strictly speaking, this is her brother-in-law...
Although she was very disappointed in Qin Feng, she did not have the ability to annul the engagement at the moment.
"Of course, how could my son not look like me? Could he possibly look like you?" Chen Xuan teased with a smile, making Liu Yanxin blush.
"I'm going to cultivate!"
After saying that, Liu Yanxin pulled Jin Ruoyan away.
"System, what is this family system?"
"Ding, this is a branch system of this system. Because the host will inevitably produce his own offspring due to the plundering of destiny value, the family system was born."
"It will award rewards based on the number of family members in the host's family. The more family members there are, the richer the rewards will be! Currently, there are 3 family members. We hope that the host will work hard to reach 100 family members, at which point there will be incredible rewards!"
Chen Xuan: "???"
"No, isn't that a huge number? 100 people? It's not that simple. How many wives do you expect me to marry? And, including Ruoyan, there should be four members, right?"
"Ding, the host needs to get married for it to count, and the host's descendants will also be considered family members."
"100 people! 100 people! Where am I supposed to find that?!"
……
"Ruoyan, what's wrong with you lately? It's only been seven or eight months, how come you're already at the eighth level of Qi Refining?! And I'm still stuck at the sixth level of Qi Refining!" Liu Yanxin asked Jin Ruoyan with envy and disappointment.
"Well...maybe it's because I've been in a good mood lately, so I broke through faster!" Jin Ruoyan blushed and stammered as she answered.
It all started with her best friend introducing her to Chen Xuan, and before she knew it, she'd fallen for him without even realizing it, and ended up being won over by him...
"Is that so?" Liu Yanxin asked with a look of suspicion.
“That’s definitely true, just relax!” Jin Ruoyan affirmed directly.
"And your family's grand competition is coming up soon, so you'd better prepare well!"
"Don't even mention it. With my level of Qi Refining Level 6, I'm practically at the bottom of the Liu family. This kind of competition has nothing to do with me!" Liu Yan sighed.
Why is it that her fiancé, who has a flawed character, is so talented, while someone like her has absolutely no talent for cultivation?
"Okay then~_~"
……
night.
Chen Xuan gently stroked Jin Ruoyan's hair, but the latter was clearly preoccupied with her own things and ignored Chen Xuan.
"Ruoyan, you've been with me for so long, and your sister Yaoyao has already had a baby. Shouldn't we start planning our wedding?"
Jin Ruoyan gave Chen Xuan a charmingly disdainful look, but she had her own things to do and couldn't speak.
After a long silence, she finally replied, "If my husband wants to get married, then let them get married. I can accept that, but my good friend..."
"This has nothing to do with Liu Yanxin, right? Are you going to stay single forever?"
"It's not because of that, but because I've been hiding things between us... and now that we're suddenly getting married, I'm afraid she won't talk to me anymore!"
"How could that be? Yanxin is a well-educated and reasonable girl. She wouldn't blame you for something like this," Chen Xuan said with a smile.
"Hmph, she's a well-educated and sensible girl, so what am I!" Jin Ruoyan said coquettishly.
"You are my darling!" Chen Xuan pinched Jin Ruoyan's delicate face.
"Husband, do you understand Yanxin well?" Jin Ruoyan suddenly asked.
"Well, I think I know her pretty well. I can tell she's a good girl," Chen Xuan replied without hesitation.
Jin Ruoyan was silent for a moment, glanced at Chen Xuan, and then said, "Alright, husband, then I agree to your request, let's get married as soon as possible."
Chen Xuan smiled happily and gently kissed Jin Ruoyan's forehead.
However, this elicited a coquettish reproach from the beauty, who knew why Chen Xuan didn't kiss her on the lips.
The next day, Chen Xuan instructed Qin Minghao to widely publicize that his wedding with Jin Ruoyan was approaching, hoping that all the major families would give him face.
He then took Jin Ruoyan back to the Jin family home and told Jin Dafu the news.
At first, Jin Dafu was shocked, but he quickly realized that his son-in-law was a Golden Core cultivator. He immediately beamed and started preparing for the wedding. He also said that he would give Jin Ruoyan a large dowry!
……
"You little brat, Ruoyan, have you been with Senior Brother Chen Xuan all along?!" In Jin Ruoyan's boudoir, Liu Yanxin was grabbing her and questioning her.
"Hehe, I was a bit confused at the time, and then I confessed my feelings to my husband, who also happened to be interested in me, so we..."
"You mean Senior Brother Chen Xuan has feelings for you?!"
"Of course, otherwise he wouldn't have married me!" Jin Ruoyan said with a happy expression.
"..." Liu Yanxin looked at Jin Ruoyan's appearance and was speechless.
Then, as if remembering something, she grabbed Jin Ruoyan's hand again.
"You, your cultivation level, is it, isn't it..." Her face turned red, and she couldn't say those two words.
"Of course, I'm sorry to have kept it from you for so long. My husband and I started cultivating together a long time ago, otherwise I wouldn't have reached the eighth level of Qi Refining now!"
"..." Liu Yanxin was momentarily lost in thought.
She felt like a piece of her heart was missing. She should be wishing her best friend well, but why did she still feel a little sad?
There was even some jealousy!
They should have started on equal footing, and she had a genius fiancé who was much better than her!
Now that her cultivation level has been surpassed by so much, and even her future husband is far inferior to Chen Xuan, and Jin Ruoyan might even be a generation older than her in the future, she will naturally feel unbalanced!
And it was she who introduced Chen Xuan to Jin Ruoyan, yet now she's an outsider! She was the one who came first!
"I was here first..." she muttered to herself, growing angrier with each passing thought.
"What?" Jin Ruoyan's eyes flashed with a sharp light.
Her best friend was just as she thought! But for her sake, she'd better pretend she didn't hear it...
"No, it's nothing. I'm not feeling well, so I'll head back now!" With that, Liu Yan left without looking back.
……
Chen Xuan and Jin Ruoyan's wedding was held as scheduled, and they became husband and wife amidst everyone's blessings.
All the major families also sent their congratulatory gifts!
After all, they only thought Chen Xuan was a useless person last time, so they didn't come to give him gifts. But little did they know that he was actually faking it!
Meanwhile, they were all thinking to themselves: If you had shown your strength earlier, would we not have come? You're making it seem like we're so clueless!
It's worth mentioning that Zhao Dalong also came over, bringing Zhou Wan'er with him. She immediately grabbed Jin Ruoyan's hand, asking her all sorts of questions and showing concern for her well-being.
"Lord Zhao has arrived too! I was too busy earlier and failed to provide adequate hospitality. Please forgive me!"
"Not at all, Brother Chen, it's your big day, so naturally we should put you first!"
"But why did you bring your lady along? Her health is still..."
"Oh, don't even mention it. I didn't want her to come in the first place, but she insisted on coming, so I couldn't stop her!"
"I see..." Chen Xuan smiled slightly.
