The streets of the winter Spring Festival are filled with a strong festive atmosphere. Red lanterns are hung high in the streets and alleys, like strings of ripe persimmons, decorating the streets particularly beautifully. Colorful flags flutter, as if dancing in the wind, adding a touch of joy to the festival.

People wore new clothes and had happy smiles on their faces. The streets were filled with fragrance, and vendors were shouting out various delicacies. The aroma of candied haws, fried chestnuts, and roasted sweet potatoes was so delicious that it made people salivate.

"Time flies so fast." Zhao Xi murmured and sighed.

Her eyes moved to Jiang Shuliu who was buying roasted sweet potatoes in front of her. He was wearing a black Tang suit with silver patterns. His tall figure made him look unrestrained and chic. He walked towards her with a sweet potato in his broad hand with a silver watch.

They could smell the sweet potato from a distance. Zhao Xi happily took it, but Jiang Shuliu teased her and asked, "Can pregnant women eat sweet potatoes?"

Zhao Xi glared at him: "What else? You said it was just a temporary solution."

"You were very decisive in rejecting me at the party." Jiang Shuliu said as if aggrieved.

"I didn't know it was you." Zhao Xi took a bite of the sweet potato, which was so hot that she couldn't speak clearly: "If I didn't know it was you and I still agreed to dance with you, would you be angry?"

"Huh? No way." Jiang Shuliu said.

"Why are you pretending to be so petty? You've stopped smiling all of a sudden." Zhao Xi complained.

Jiang Shuliu said expressionlessly: "Zhao Xi, you are getting bolder and bolder."

He has a gloomy face now, just like when he was a young lady.

But now Zhao Xi will not be scared anymore.

She handed over the sweet potato she had taken a bite of: "It's too hot. I won't eat it yet."

Jiang Shuliu couldn't maintain his indifferent look anymore and obediently took the sweet potato that the little girl had taken a bite of.

A week has passed since Jiang Shuliu came back. He no longer concealed himself, but submitted evidence that Jiang Jin had committed murder, and bluntly stated that it had nothing to do with the Jiang family and that everything was a lie of the Jiang family.

Jiang Shuliu returned safely, so there was naturally no doubt about the shares. Zhao Xi wanted to inquire about the situation, but Jiang Shuliu told her that her most important task now was to think about whether the wedding should be held in half a month or a month, whether she wanted to wear diamonds or gems, and whether she wanted to wear a wedding dress or a phoenix crown and bridal bridal gown.

Zhao Xi knew that Jiang Shuliu had always felt guilty about the accident that happened to him.

This guy looks more handsome than any woman, but he is actually very feudal at heart. He believes that a good husband is one who can make his wife beautiful and worry-free.

He didn't do it, and Zhao Xi had to support him for so long, which made Jiang Shuliu uncomfortable.

The Jiang family recently started selling off their property due to a reduction in shares and difficulty in circulating assets.

Jiang Shuliu truly took control of the Jiang family and fulfilled the ambition he had since he was young.

And his wish after that was to grow old together with Zhao Xi.

The Ji family is far away from the turmoil, but Ji Xingyu and Fang Fei have completely broken up. Fang Fei's child is gone, and their wedding has been cancelled. Fang Fei is still staying in the Ji family. I don't know when their relationship will wear off.

Zhao Xi looked at the plot value which had reached 99%, checked her final task, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart: I don't know if she can stay until the day of her wedding with Jiang Shuliu.

They came here just to buy some things for the Spring Festival. Originally, the wedding was scheduled to be held before the Spring Festival, but too many unexpected events occurred in the middle, so they finally decided to postpone it until after the Spring Festival.

The servants in the mansion would buy, they just came to enjoy the atmosphere.

In the end, Zhao Xi selected a pair of couplets and some window decorations and prepared to go back and paste them up himself.

When I got home, I found a lot of noise outside the door. It turned out that the workers who were unloading the goods came to collect their wages after finishing their work.

Because it was close to the Spring Festival, Qinghe paid twice as much wages as usual. The bulging pockets made the workers express their gratitude and a series of blessings came out.

Qing He saw the two people coming back, pointed at them and said to the workers with a smile: "Why thank me? Look, my master and his wife are back, thank them."

The workers surrounded them again, and their enthusiastic voices made Zhao Xi smile and say, "It's okay, just treat it as a Spring Festival blessing, everyone should keep it well."

The crowd surrounded the two people, and they couldn't figure out what was going on when they heard a "crack".

"Bang--" The loud gunshot plunged the originally noisy scene into deathly silence.

Zhao Xi lowered her head slowly and found that blood was slowly seeping out of her chest. The pain was like a reptile crawling up her nerves, and her trembling pupils contained the dazed Jiang Shuliu.

"Zhao Xi——" Zhao Xi did not finish listening to Jiang Shuliu's roar, she fell into darkness.

"He was the one who did it, hold him down, quickly!" The workers reacted quickly and subdued the scarred man.

"Hehe, it's such a pity that I didn't hit you, Jiang Shuliu." Scarface, also Gao Quan, was pinned to the ground by several workers. The gun in his hand rolled to the side, but he snorted and laughed: "A useless woman died. God is blessing you."

Gao Quan was filled with hatred. He hated why he didn't bypass Fang Mao and kill Jiang Shuliu directly. If he had done that, this day wouldn't have happened, and what happened later wouldn't have happened.

After scratching his face and escaping the wanted list, Gao Quan's only thought was revenge.

Jiang Shuliu's hands, which were holding Zhao Xi's, kept shaking. He wanted to stop the shaking because he was afraid.

He put his face against Zhao Xi's, trying to get some courage. Their noses touched, but there was no warm breath.

Jiang Shuliu collapsed. He maintained his composure and carefully put Zhao Xi on the ground. Ignoring the roar of his soul, he picked up the gun on the ground and fired several shots at Gao Quan.

The fierce gunfire scared the workers so much that they all dodged away, leaving Gao Quan's body constantly shot by gunfire, blood splattered everywhere, and he curled up in pain like a boiled shrimp.

Jiang Shuliu just looked at Gao Quan's miserable condition indifferently. He no longer had the strength to speak. His heart was empty and he was crying. He felt surprised: How could this be a blessing from God? This was clearly the cruelest punishment.

Gao Quan opened his mouth, but what gushed out was a huge mouthful of blood. He stared at the enemy in front of him until his death.

Qing He looked at Jiang Shuliu with an expressionless face. Having been with him since childhood, she did not dare to speak at this moment.

Zhao Xi seemed to have come into a blank space. She thought that her mission was completed and her body had left this world, and she felt a little depressed.

"Host——" It was the long-lost voice of 1314.

The snow-white kitten climbed onto her hands and cried, "We're finally connected. If I hadn't been watching the progress of the mission, I would have thought you were dead!"

"I don't know why, but I couldn't have a conversation with you. It was as if the connection between us had been cut off. Now that you've left the world, I've finally found you."

Zhao Xi suddenly realized that 1314 in this world was indeed extremely quiet. She didn't find it strange at all, but now she realized that it was abnormal.

1314: "We suspect that you have been targeted by the Outer Gods as the host. They like to completely trap the tasker in the world, so that they no longer remember their mission and are eventually devoured."

It twitched its tail, very happy: "But fortunately, host, you always remembered your mission, so you can leave the world safely."

"Let's go quickly, host. This is not the system space and there are still hidden dangers. Let's leave quickly..." 1314 didn't finish his words before he saw the host's figure flashing as if it was broken. The golden seal between his eyebrows was shining brightly. The sacred light made 1314 explode.

"What are you talking about..." Zhao Xi wanted to say that I couldn't hear you, but the scene in front of him suddenly became dark, just like a TV that was turned off.

1314: Meow——The host is pulled back again!

When Zhao Xi opened her eyes again, she saw Jiang Shuliu, dressed in a neat suit, sitting next to her, holding her hand with one hand and pointing a gun to his temple with the other.

Without time to think, Zhao Xi immediately stood up and shot away the gun, cursing: "Jiang Shuliu, what are you doing?!"

Jiang Shuliu stared at her blankly, tears streaming down his face. His expressionless face was quite scary.

Zhao Xi was held tightly in his arms and felt that she had difficulty breathing, but she did not struggle because she felt that Jiang Shuliu was in an abnormal mood.

There was a ray of white gauze hanging by her eyes, and when I pulled it over, I saw it was a veil.

Zhao Xi was wearing a wedding dress at this time.
