Chapter 38
This Is a Family

After a night of conversation, Xiao Ci's favorability for Wang Da Dong had reached 90.

At this time, Wang Da Dong's parents had also returned.

But compared to usual, Wang Tian Yang and his wife seemed much more down-to-earth.

Both of them were wearing white lab coats, clearly having rushed back from somewhere.

"Dad, Mom, I'm going to class first."

Wang Da Dong knew that his parents were going to meet with Xiao Ci's grandmother.

After all, the matter involved two timelines and couldn't be taken lightly.

Furthermore, the extent to which Wang Da Dong had changed Xiao Ci was still unknown.

"Xiao Ci."

"I'm going to school first."

"Give me a kiss."

Wang Da Dong looked at Xiao Ci's expression.

As the saying goes, a wife is newly found and they are in the midst of a passionate romance, so they must be inseparable.

Xiao Ci blushed under the brazen treatment from Wang Da Dong.

However, being a lively girl, she didn't argue with Wang Da Dong.

Xiao Ci leaned forward and kissed Wang Da Dong on the cheek.

Just as Wang Da Dong was about to enjoy the moment, the Dragon Pattern Furnace activated again.

Wang Da Dong seemed to understand something.

He reached out and embraced Xiao Ci once more, directly sucking in her energy.

Wang Tian Yang and Zeng Mei were quite surprised to see their child kissing Xiao Ci.

Suddenly, they sensed the presence of the Dragon Pattern Furnace.

A wave of Wu Li Zhi Shu, belonging to Xiao Ci, was being continuously absorbed by Wang Da Dong.

Simultaneously, the Dragon Pattern Furnace was also absorbing energy from the heavens to replenish Xiao Ci's depleted Wu Li Zhi Shu.

Wang Tian Yang and his wife observed this scene carefully.

It wasn't a kind of auntie smile, but rather an observation from a researcher's perspective.

Even though it only flashed by, after activating the fire's inherent properties, Xiao Ci's Wu Li Zhi Shu was confirmed to be over 10,000.

After absorbing Xiao Ci's Wu Li Zhi Shu, Wang Da Dong's own Wu Li Zhi Shu was rapidly rising.

"So that's how it is."

"It's possible."

Zeng Mei had realized what was happening before her eyes.

Wang Da Dong was not enveloped in the aura, and he soon released Xiao Ci.

The Wu Li Zhi Shu he had taken from Xiao Ci began to gradually stabilize.

The Dragon Pattern Furnace automatically began to reforging Wang Da Dong's internal Wu Li Zhi Shu, transforming it into a permanent boost.

According to calculations, Wang Da Dong's current Wu Li Zhi Shu was around 9000 points.

"Xiao Ci, see you tonight."

Wang Da Dong said with a smile.

He was looking forward to holding Xiao Ci again tonight.

Wang Da Dong quickly ran off, leaving Wang Tian Yang and his wife with Xiao Ci at the doorstep.

Xiao Ci was now completely flustered by Wang Da Dong.

A pure girl encountering a handsome and charming prince, embarking on a love affair across timelines.

Xiao Ci had begun to be enchanted by it all.

Watching Wang Da Dong disappear into the distance, Xiao Ci gently waved her hand, her gaze fixed on the end of the street.

"Alright, Xiao Ci, your love has run off."

Zeng Mei saw Xiao Ci standing there like a wooden post, looking completely lovestruck.

She called Xiao Ci back to her senses.

Xiao Ci realized she looked like a statue waiting for her husband, and she instantly blushed.

Seeing Xiao Ci like this, Zeng Mei liked her even more.

"Now, take us to your grandmother."

Xiao Ci was such a good girl.

She was obedient and docile, with a hint of mischief.

Although she was suppressing her personality, Xiao Ci was actually very similar to Wang Da Dong.

Zeng Mei liked her even more because of that.

"Next, we're going to observe your body, and your guardian must be present."

Zeng Mei said softly.

"Yes, Auntie."

Xiao Ci hesitated slightly when she heard this.

Her grandmother was family.

In a way, Wang Da Dong's parents meeting her grandmother could be considered a pre-requisite to their marriage.

Xiao Ci felt very shy at the thought.

"Hey, why are you calling me Auntie?"

"It sounds so distant."

"Call me something else."

Zeng Mei found Xiao Ci's "Auntie" a bit off-putting.

Her son was practically about to eat her daughter alive.

This address needed to be changed.

"Mom."

Xiao Ci understood Zeng Mei's meaning.

She obediently called her "Mom."

"Yes."

Zeng Mei was overjoyed.

Good, good. As expected of Wang Da Dong's girlfriend.

She was a really good girl.

Mhm, mhm.

However, Wang Tian Yang was a little envious.

But as the head of the household, he had to be strong.

He couldn't be jealous of his wife.

Xiao Ci, with her observant nature, noticed that the smile on Wang Tian Yang's face was a bit too forced.

"Dad."

Xiao Ci also politely called Wang Tian Yang "Dad."

"Yes."

Wang Tian Yang felt a warm feeling in his heart when he heard Xiao Ci calling him "Dad."

Good, good, good.

As expected of his good daughter-in-law.

"By the way, Xiao Ci, I don't know the customs in your timeline."

"This is a small token from Dad and Mom, please accept it."

Wang Tian Yang directly handed Xiao Ci a large red envelope.

It wasn't that he didn't want to give anything else, but in truth, he didn't know what to give Xiao Ci.

Suddenly, his child had brought home a wife, and they hadn't even had time to prepare.

After discussing with his wife, Zeng Mei, they decided to give her a large red envelope as a gesture of goodwill.

"Dad, Mom."

Xiao Ci's eyes widened when she saw the large red envelope.

Her usually clever and obedient demeanor instantly crumbled.

Her innate love for money, which had been buried since she was a child, was awakened.

This red envelope was so big, it had to be at least two thousand yuan.

She wanted to open it right away.

But then, Xiao Ci realized she might have revealed something, and she felt embarrassed.

Xiao Ci gave an awkward smile, then tucked the red envelope inside her clothes.

Wang Tian Yang and Zeng Mei saw this and understood that this girl definitely loved money.

It seemed she had gone through some hardships.

They, as a couple, saw through it even more.

Xiao Ci's love for money stemmed from her personal circumstances, not social problems.

However, Xiao Ci was not a perfect character; in the eyes of Wang Tian Yang and Zeng Mei, she was perfect just the way she was.

A girl who wasn't detached from the material world, with a decent personality, made them feel more at ease.

"Alright."

"Let's go."

Wang Tian Yang signaled for them to leave.

"After all, there's a lot more to deal with."

With Wang Tian Yang leading the way, the couple took Xiao Ci out of the house, got into a car, and headed towards a distant location.
