Chapter 365: Chapter 365 News.
The room temperature spiked up as it was silenced by the firm words that came out from Xiao Lian's thin lips. Everyone stares dumbfounded at the girl with her unusual face filled with strong emotion.
Hina and Serafina shrugged as they exchanged glances, each mouth parted ways relieved, washed away their chest, and whispered to themselves. "It's about time she faced this phase!". Both of them nodded solemnly and gave the girl respect for daring to state that embarrassing line in the crowd.
Xiao Rui was distinctly shocked. Xiao Rui felt stunned that despite knowing her niece's feelings, she thought the matter was already done by the time Xiao Lian consulted her, but it seemed prolonged.
As for Xiao Bai, she thought that the two had a special relationship already, but to think it wasn't like what she thought. "I am sorry for jumping to a conclusion, but, way to go, young Lady. Man these days needs an aggressive approach for your feelings to get across, just like my experience taught me". She clenched her fist under the table, excited to see the continuation of the event.
Xiao Luan's heart skipped a beat and momentarily froze. From her perspective, her daughter felt it was getting across to her that it reminded her of the old times. "Oh my, Lian'er. you seemed truly grown without knowing. Fuuh, this mother of yours is truly proud". She mumbled inside her heart but soon shifted her gaze toward the boy who sat in the corner opposite her.
His gaze was calm; he seemed to have foreseen this situation after spending time with my daughter, but instead of moving himself, he decided to let the girls recognize her true feelings first and then make a move. "He seemed experienced in this… Wait, don't tell me!?".
Before Xiao Luan could reflect on what was on her mind, the clattering sound of a chair being pushed attracted everyone's attention as they saw Soma stand up and approach the seat in honor where Xiao Luan and her daughter were near each other.
"Soma!?".
Xiao Lian, who recognized what she had done, her face burned with embarrassment; each step Soma took increased the rhythm in her heart, beating so loudly that she worried it might leak out to the surface.
Looking at his figure closing in, Xiao Lian faltered as she staggered to stand up, but faster than her mind and body could act. Soma grasped one of her hands, interlocking their fingers together; he stared at her blushing cheeks, and tears began to accumulate in her eyes.
"It seemed I was lagging behind, and to think of letting a girl confess her feelings first".
"Soma!?".
Not answering, Soma spread his lips, showing her sincere smile to give her a sense of calmness. He tightly grasped her hand, which made her body stiffen. Then, as if a hero who would challenge the world, he turned his gaze to Xiao Luan, who was secretly waiting in excitement for the event to progress.
"Mrs, Xiao Luan… No! Mother, would you be willing to entrust your daughter's future to me? I can't show much for now, but I promise to let her be happy by my side!".
The females in the room skipped a beat, hearing Soma's serious and heartfelt confession that seemed to enrapture everyone in place. His girlfriends were sure, but the other females also had a furious blush on their cheeks. However, there is one girl who was filled to the brim by the sweet atmosphere that she momentarily passed out, her forehead touching the table.
"Oh my, Uhum… Xiao Ma was it? Or should I call you Soma?".
Xiao Luan cleared her throat as she regulated her own mind to calm down for a few seconds.
"Neither of them is fine, Because that was the name my late parents used to call me".
"...I see".
For everyone in the room who knows his backstory, their faces are knitted in sorrow—even Xiao Rui's eyes glitter for recalling the old times that are suddenly replaying in her brain.
"Do you love my daughter?".
"Yes!".
"Are you willing to make her happy as you promised? Because I hate people who can't keep their promises".
"Like I said earlier. I can't give you enough proof of that for now, but once I decide on something. I will do it until the end, so… Please give us your blessing, Mother".
Soma, under the gaze of everyone present, bowed his head ninety degrees, making Xiao Luan and the other's eyes bulge out, but Xiao Lian, who was touched by his earnestness, also followed suit and bowed her head by the side.
"Lian'er, you…!?".
"Mother, I know this is hard to take for you who just woken up, but this is my choice and I hope you can give us your blessing, so mother, please…".
"Of course I will give you my blessing".
Xiao Lian earnestly pleaded, but she got cut off by her mother, who sensed something wasn't clicking in her gear. Xiao Lian lifted her gaze and looked at her mother with incredulous eyes before she burst into tears and generally leaped into her embrace.
"Fufu... I am happy for you, Lian'er. Now, as his partner, you should give him your best support, understood?".
"Mm, thank you, Mother!".
Soma felt another load of problems lifted from his shoulder; he straightened his posture and smiled, watching the mother-daughter's warm relationship. Then he turned to the other two, Hina and Sera, and witnessed them fully support him in this situation.
Soon, he submerged into his own thoughts, looking at the deep past he had in his two lives. He chuckled inside his heart and felt like wanting to boast about something. "Having three Beautiful girlfriends in hand and each of them had no qualms over it. This feels absolutely the best!".

After the sweet moment at the dining table, news started to spread as Xiao Luan, with her healthy complexion, walked under the ray of light. It brought chaos upon the place as they saw a wandering Ghost.
"Is that true!?".
Xiao Long glared at his adjutant, who delivered the news he received from the servants who came to his side when he was having a matter outside his office.
"Yes, it is certain, for I am checking it myself!".
As soon as those words left his mouth, Xiao Long trembled, his limbs losing their strength, unable to support his body as he flopped to the floor, the act that was supposed to be unbecoming of a ruler.
However, he didn't care about it. Instead, he felt his body lighter because the burden of guilt that kept weighing him down all these years had been lifted; unbeknown to him, his vision turned blurred, and he felt tears streaking down his cheeks.
"Luan'er, thank god! Trully, thank god!".
"My liege!?".
The adjutant came to his side and soon helped his master to rest properly in his chair. Before he could pull out, he felt a strong grip on his clothes coming from Xiao Long.
"I need to go there! I need to see her!".
Xiao Long, as if possessed by a demon, urged his body to move and hurriedly moved away toward the place where his beloved wife was staying. The adjutant who saw his master like that cold only swallowed back the words that almost spilled from his mouth concerning the matter in the family.
Without waiting for his adjutant acceptance, he ignores his job, throws away the pen in his hands, and swiftly moves his feet toward the place where his beloved is. With a 'bang', the door in his office blasted, startling the servants passing by.
"My liege!?".
"!?".
Xiao Long dismissed the greeting of the servants as he was in a hurry; he moved his feet, storming away the corridor before disappearing under the dumbfounded gaze of the servants,
Meanwhile, the adjutant who left behind shrugged his shoulders and sighed in resignation; he picked up the scattered papers and pen on the floor before arranging them in neat order and speaking in deep regret.
"...My liege, I am happy that Mistress Xiao Luan has recovered from her illness, but this matter would be troublesome to deal with. I am sure the other mistresses have also heard about this news! Fuuh, I am really about the future!".
He picked up the last document on the floor before storming away from the room, following the steps of his master.
*****
Within one of the luxurious houses in the Xiao family, in one of the innermost rooms hidden from the eyes of the house, the air was thick and pungent with the odor of sweat and nectar from the human body. The golden light flickered gently in the dimly lit room, its warm light scattered strategically beside the king-size bed. A red curtain of desire cascades from the ceilings, forming a cage of adultery.
From within, a soft creak resounded as an alluring soft and toned leg emerged from the cage, followed by a thick smell of sweat, the proof of her intense labor. Behind her was a glimpse from the bed, where two men with healthy and robust physiques lay out of breath.
The woman pushed aside the hair that stuck to her neck and body as she approached the drawer to take some gown to cover her birthday suit.
"Huuf, this day is really irritating".

Not only did her niece come home, but the outsider woman also presented before her and dared to block her path. Recalling that only worsened her mood, and feeling frustrated, she turned to the bed and found out that the two men still had not recovered, yet she was frustrated, wanting to release it.
"Hmph, useless".
As she fixed her appearance, the flickered golden light swayed as shadows loomed over the room. Xiao Yin turned her back, startled with eyes wide open before speaking.
"You are!".
