I'm so embarrassed!

Such a beauty throws herself at him, would he hurt her feelings if he rejected her? Xu Hao was still in a muddle-headed train of thought, while Jiang Xue Zhu lightly stepped past Xu Hao to tightly hug Liu Ruyan, "Ay, Ruyan, I missed you so much! I was just thinking about when to come and see you!"

"Me too, Xue Zhu, you actually got transferred to Jing'an City and didn't even tell me. You deserve a spanking!" Liu Ruyan gently slapped Jiang Xue Zhu a couple of times.

Xu Hao was somewhat sheepish on the side, realizing that the beautiful officer had intended to embrace Liu Ruyan. It seemed that they knew each other!

After exchanging pleasantries, Liu Ruyan quickly came over to link arms with Xu Hao and introduced, "Let me introduce him—this is my husband, Xu Hao! This is my bestie from university, Jiang Xue Zhu, Officer Jiang!"

"Ah? Your husband?" Jiang Xue Zhu looked Xu Hao up and down with some surprise, his security guard outfit didn't seem to match at all with Liu Ruyan's urban office look.

Liu Ruyan didn't care at all, "Xue Zhu, don't underestimate my husband, he's really powerful! He has invested 2.5 billion yuan in my company, and just now..."

Liu Ruyan pulled Jiang Xue Zhu a bit closer and said, "Just now, those bastards were really beaten up by my husband, it was so cool, I bet you're no match for him!"

The excitement on Liu Ruyan's face was just like a little girl showing off her beloved toy to her friends.

Xu Hao was going to stop Liu Ruyan at first, but seeing the overflowing smile on her face, he held back.

Jiang Xue Zhu, who had been calm, suddenly changed her expression and looked sharply at Xu Hao, "Just now... was it really you who took them down?"

Xu Hao touched his nose, "Officer, if I say yes, you won't take me in, will you?"

Jiang Xue Zhu gave a wry smile, "Of course not, after all, they can't prove that it was you who started it, right!" Jiang Xue Zhu looked at Xu Hao with intense curiosity in her eyes. Although Xu Hao didn't directly admit it, he had essentially acknowledged it as the truth.

A single person knocking down a dozen muscular men, what kind of strength is that?

"Ruyan, you found yourself a good husband!" Jiang Xue Zhu pats Liu Ruyan on the shoulder, "Alright, I still have things to deal with today. I'll come to find you after I'm done with my work. Also, Xu Hao, right? Let's have a spar next time we meet. I'm really curious about your strength!"

As she spoke, Jiang Xue Zhu threw a challenging glance at Xu Hao.

Xu Hao helplessly touched his nose; this girl was a bit fierce! Meeting for the first time and she already wanted to spar!

Jiang Xue Zhu took Ma San and the others away, and naturally, the vehicles blocking the exit were also moved. Xu Hao and Liu Ruyan got into their car and hurried towards the company.

All the way, Liu Ruyan was bubbling with excitement, bombarding him with questions like a child with a hundred thousand whys.

"Xu Hao, why is your Kung Fu so amazing?"

"I remember you weren't that powerful before, have you been playing dumb in front of me?"

"And with all your money, why would you marry into the Liu Family?"

...

A string of questions made Xu Hao somewhat headachy, "Ruyan, I'm not kidding you! Honestly, I also don't know why my Kung Fu skills have become so powerful. It feels like intuition, I just suddenly became powerful. There are several moves etched in my mind, and when danger arises, they automatically come to the fore..."

Xu Hao selectively answered some questions, yet naturally omitted some key details.

For instance, his strength had surged notably after sleeping with Qin Yao. He had a faint Dragon Pattern on his body, along with a Floating light that others couldn't see...

Although Xu Hao still didn't quite understand why these things were happening to him, he was certain that they were no ordinary matters and couldn't be revealed carelessly.

...

After Xu Hao and Liu Ruyan left, Wang Zhong came down swiftly with a group of bodyguards. Watching Xu Hao's departing car, a relieved smile spread across Wang Zhong's face.

"The power awakened by the young master is indeed strong. Given the young master's talent, the return of Tian Ji Pavilion's glory is just around the corner!" Wang Zhong sighed deeply, "Let's go, keep up with the young master!"

...

Wang Zhong and the others left, but they didn't notice in the crowd an old man wearing beach shorts, stroking his beard thoughtfully with a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl by his side. "Xiao Wan, did you see? That was your future husband just now. Are you satisfied?"

Next to him, the young girl dressed in khaki shorts and wearing a face mask could not fully hide her beauty that seemed otherworldly. "That big brother seems nice enough... But Grandpa, why do I have to marry him?"

Always read from the source: *.

The old man in the beach shorts smiled mysteriously. "Because your destiny is that of an Empress!"

...

Liu Ruyan and Xu Hao, of course, had no idea about this Empress destiny. After they had driven the jadeite raw stones to the company's secure warehouse and unloaded them, Liu Ruyan couldn't wait to speak, "Quick, quick, Xu Hao, let's cut open a few to have a look!"

Xu Hao smiled slightly. "Heh, you're sure to lose!"

There was a cutting machine available in the warehouse. Xu Hao started the machine and began to cut the stone that Liu Ruyan had picked, right along the edge where the floating light shimmered.

Zzzt zzzt zzzt!

The cutting machine sliced open the outer shell. Liu Ruyan immediately saw the green color inside, "Ah, there's green, there's green... cat's eye..."

The second one!

"Green again! Glass type!"

The third one!

"Emerald, oh my heavens!"

The fourth one!

The fifth one!

...

Initially, Liu Ruyan was extremely excited, but after cutting open a dozen or so, her excitement became numb.

As Xu Hao had said, just picking any stone, every stone contained jadeite.

This whole truckload, with at least several hundred pieces, and every piece containing jadeite, these stones were enough to sustain the Liu Corporation for more than three months.

Xu Hao turned off the machine and looked at Liu Ruyan with a smile. "How about it?"

Liu Ruyan's face flushed with a touch of shyness. "You... you've won!"

The next moment, without waiting for Xu Hao to react, Liu Ruyan tenderly wrapped her arms around Xu Hao's neck and kissed him smack on the lips.

...

After a long while, as they parted, Liu Ruyan straightened her disheveled hair. "Husband, thank you!"

Xu Hao waved his hand magnanimously. "Do we need to say thanks to each other? We're family... But just getting these raw gemstones is only a temporary solution. We need to find a way to get past the Zhou Family, so we can have direct access to the raw stones!"

Liu Ruyan sighed deeply. "To get past the Zhou Family, we must secure the South Myanmar agency rights in Huaya. But that's easier said than done, isn't it?"

"Oh? We just need to secure the agency rights? That might be doable!" Xu Hao smiled mysteriously, knowing full well that the power of his enigmatic father was beyond his comprehension.

However, after the changes that had occurred in his own body, Xu Hao felt that maybe, just maybe, he could try without relying on his father's power...
