Xiao Fan stared intently at Chen Yang, his killing intent almost impossible to suppress!

He already knew that the three Liu sisters were using Chen Yang as a shield.

He knew very well that the marriage of the three Liu sisters to Chen Yang was just a pretense.

In Xiao Fan's view, there was no need for him to be angry that three beautiful women had married a blind good-for-nothing and a pitiful wretch who had been tortured like a dead dog by the Ma family.

But at this moment, upon seeing Chen Yang, Xiao Fan suddenly realized that things were not as he had thought at all!

Chen Yang is hardly a pitiful wretch.

Wearing sunglasses, he actually looks incredibly handsome!

Moreover, Liu Qingxia was incredibly intimate with him, and the way she held his arm was so natural that it didn't seem like they were a fake couple at all!

Xiao Fan took a deep breath, frantically chanting in his mind: It's fake! It's all fake! I, the young master of Qingzhou City, have been humiliated like this by you! Just you wait!

He forced himself to remain calm for three seconds before suppressing his surging killing intent. He laughed and walked towards Liu Qingxia, his tone feigning warmth: "Qingxia, it's been several days since we last met. I've truly missed you!"

Liu Qingxia simply nodded to Xiao Fan, then stepped aside and introduced, "Young Master Xiao, this is my husband, Chen Yang. You've probably met him before. Young Master Xiao couldn't attend our wedding, but we'll make it up to you later."

Standing beside Liu Qingxia, Chen Yang, fully aware of his role as a shield, nodded slightly to Xiao Fan and said calmly, "Greetings, Young City Lord Xiao. On the day of Qingxia and my wedding, we really did leave a table full of delicious food for Young Master Xiao, but unfortunately, we didn't get to see him. Qingxia and I were both a little disappointed, haha."

Xiao Fan was furious when he heard this!

In his view, what did these so-called powerful families in Qingzhou City matter? Everyone and every family had to submit to the power of his father, Xiao Daoyun!

All he wanted was to have the woman in front of him; what was so difficult about that?

I was originally thinking of giving the Liu family some face, but now, those two bastards, Liu Qingxia and Chen Yang, have publicly humiliated me!

Xiao Fan snorted coldly, about to get angry on the spot.

Just then, a tall woman strode over and went straight to Liu Qingxia's side. She laughed and said, "Xiao Fan, you go and entertain the others. I'll take care of my cousin here."

After saying that, Zhao Manmei gave Xiao Fan a wink.

Xiao Fan was taken aback, then suddenly realized.

Why should I be in such a hurry now?

Anyway, we've already prepared a program for Liu Qingxia today, so let's just bear with it a little longer!

At that time, not only will I be able to get Liu Qingxia, but I can also slap Chen Yang, that blind man, to death. Everything will be logical and won't arouse public anger.

Xiao Fan nodded slightly and cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards Zhao Manmei: "Then I'll have to trouble you, sister-in-law."

Zhao Manmei is Xiao Fan's cousin-in-law. Her husband is Xiao Fan's cousin and he doesn't spend most of his time in Qingzhou City.

Zhao Manmei grabbed Liu Qingxia's arm, feigning intimacy, and said with a smile, "Qingxia, we're best friends! I'm your cousin, even if we're distant, we're still related. Why didn't you tell me about such a big event as your wedding beforehand?"

Liu Qingxia nodded slightly to Zhao Manmei and then ignored Xiao Fan.

Her original intention was very clear: to deliberately provoke Xiao Fan, make him furious in public, so that she and Chen Yang could turn around and leave in a natural way.

Liu Qingxia knew Xiao Fan's magnanimity all too well. That guy couldn't hide his anger at all. He was used to being bossy and domineering in Qingzhou City. He was arrogant and couldn't stand the slightest grievance.

Unexpectedly, using Chen Yang as a shield failed to directly provoke him into a rage.

Zhao Manmei seemingly affectionately linked arms with Liu Qingxia, pulling her to sit down at a rectangular dining table near the front. She lowered her voice and said, "Qingxia, as your older cousin, I have to give you some advice. Marriage isn't a game! Tell me, why are you three sisters so troublesome?"

"Look at Chen Yang, he's blind, his dantian is ruined, he's just a complete waste! If you marry him, not to mention anything else, we women will lose our happiness!"

Liu Qingxia understood Zhao Manmei's meaning, but calmly said, "Cousin, what's done is done, don't try to persuade me anymore. Besides, I feel very happy with Chen Yang."

"Pfft!" Zhao Manmei laughed out loud, then leaned on Liu Qingxia's shoulder, giggling and whispering, "I could tell at a glance that you were just using Chen Yang, that good-for-nothing, as a shield! You have no idea what a woman's happiness is!"

"The happiness I'm talking about is that kind of thing between a man and a woman! You'll understand once you've truly experienced it; that's when we women are happiest!"

Liu Qingxia's face suddenly turned bright red!

She had originally planned to dismiss Zhao Manmei with a few words, but she never expected that her cousin would suddenly utter such explicit remarks!

And coincidentally, Chen Yang was sitting not far away at that moment, so he might have heard everything!

Liu Qingxia was flustered and embarrassed.

Seeing her expression, Zhao Manmei became even more certain: Liu Qingxia is definitely still a virgin!

She smiled gently and continued, "Qingxia, I'm saying this for your own good. Think about it carefully. Whether it's strength, character, appearance, or family background, Xiao Fan is absolutely top-notch in the entire Qingzhou City! Only by marrying Xiao Fan can you have true happiness. There's no need to resist like this."

"Cousin, considering we're related, I won't hold your previous words against you." Liu Qingxia's face darkened. "That's enough. Don't say anything more, or we'll even have to end this distant family relationship!"

"Alright, alright, I know, you're just too stubborn!" Zhao Manmei chuckled and stopped trying to persuade her. "You sit here, the National Day banquet is about to begin."

She patted Liu Qingxia on the shoulder, then walked over to Chen Yang and looked him up and down.

Chen Yang, wearing sunglasses, is indeed strikingly handsome.

Zhao Manmei leaned down and said in a voice only the two of them could hear, her tone vicious, "Useless thing, keep your hands to yourself! Now that you've lost your eyes, be careful you don't lose your legs and hands too!"

"Sister, this is a kind reminder. If it weren't for the fact that you're quite handsome, I wouldn't have said that at all."

"Remember this: Xiao Fan only needs to say one word to make you, a cripple, wish you were dead!"

After saying that, Zhao Manmei smiled gently, swayed her waist, and walked towards the main table in the middle.

At the only table placed horizontally in front, Xiao Fan was sitting in the main seat, while the others sat in two rows, with the empty space in the middle for singing and dancing performances.

Zhao Manmei walked up behind Xiao Fan, smiled gently, and whispered, "Xiao Fan, I've already tested it for you."

"Chen Yang, that blind man, is indeed just a shield; Liu Qingxia is still a virgin."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Fan's lips curled into a sinister smile, and he said darkly, "Of course I know! How could Liu Qingxia possibly be interested in a piece of trash like Chen Yang?"

"Even if they're acting, I'm still furious! I, the esteemed young master of the Xiao family, am pursuing the Liu sisters, and they dare to show me such disrespect!"

Zhao Manmei chuckled, leaned closer to Xiao Fan, and lowered her voice even further: "Xiao Fan, you don't understand. The three Liu sisters are actually treating you better now that they have this 'husband'!"

Xiao Fan frowned as he looked at Zhao Manmei.

Zhao Manmei chuckled softly, coaxing, "Just imagine, if you had the chance to make love with Liu Qingxia in front of Chen Yang, how exciting would that be? That feeling would be far more thrilling than simply marrying Liu Qingxia!"

Xiao Fan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized!

That's right! A wife is not as good as a concubine, and a concubine is not as good as a stolen lover!

If I could have sex with Liu Qingxia in front of that good-for-nothing Chen Yang, that would be even more awesome!

Xiao Fan burst into laughter, unable to resist exclaiming, "Sister-in-law, you really understand me!"

Zhao Manmei chuckled, stood up, and said, "Alright, the banquet should begin. Besides, didn't we prepare some excellent performances for you and Liu Qingxia to put on?"

Xiao Fan immediately nodded: "Yes! I was originally thinking of slapping that bastard Chen Yang to death later, but after your reminder, I think it's better to keep his dog life alive!"

Then, Xiao Fan stood up and announced loudly, "The City Lord's National Day Banquet officially begins!"

"Our Great Ming Dynasty was founded 1800 years ago by Emperor Taizu, who drove out the barbarians, hunted down monsters, and saved the people from suffering! Now, 1800 years later, may our Great Ming Dynasty prosper forever!"

All the young people who had been invited stood up together, raised their glasses, and cheered for National Day.

The banquet began soon.

Liu Qingxia and Chen Yang sat at the same small long table. She naturally poured wine and served food to Chen Yang, behaving like a truly virtuous wife.

Sitting in the main seat, Xiao Fan saw this scene and, even though he knew it was an act, he was still furious!

Halfway through the banquet, Xiao Fan couldn't hold back any longer. He didn't want to wait any longer and was eager to make Liu Qingxia submit to him in public!

He stood up abruptly and said loudly, "Today is National Day, and I, Xiao Fan, am very grateful for everyone's presence! According to National Day tradition, each city will select outstanding young people who have made contributions in the previous year."

"The royal family of our Great Ming Dynasty has prepared five cloaks to bestow upon five outstanding young women who have made significant contributions to our Qingzhou City!"

"Someone come here! Go and collect the prize—the 'Great Ming Dynasty Splendor' cloak!"
