King of Assassins

Gotta know, Golden Source City is a fully artificial city, and the so-called Golden Radiance Sea is also man-made. Owning twenty kilometers of private beach next to a man-made sea, that's the kind of treatment someone of Xiao Jun's status can enjoy.

Xiao Wan can't help but feel a little jealous when she talks about it; she's been to Mr. Xiao Jun's villa twice. Unfortunately, she only got to look around.

Who would've thought Mr. Xiao Jun was so generous, gifting the villa directly to Gao Xuan.

"Mr. Xiao's got guts and vision, he knows I'm a unique genius, hahaha..."

Gao Xuan, feeling smug, said to Xiao Wan, "You make the arrangements, I'm moving in this afternoon."

"You, don't get too cocky."

The more Xiao Wan thought about it, the angrier she became. Gao Xuan was having a sweet time with Helen, while she had to play housekeeper for the two of them.

Helen, knowing Xiao Wan was there to work, brightened her eyes and said, "I like gold and green, the decorating style should be Baroque, and the home products should be from the Yun Jin Xuan Divine King series..."

Xiao Wan stared blankly at Helen, she hadn't heard of any of those things.

What on earth was all that?

One thing she did understand was that Helen wanted to redo the villa's interior and replace all the furniture.

"You don't understand, that's fine, I'll send you the detailed requirements."

Helen was used to directing people and wasn't shy about ordering Xiao Wan around.

She added Xiao Wan as a friend, then sent all her requirements at once via light computer.

Xiao Wan used to think Helen was pretty and cute, but now she found her annoying.

"Sweetheart, you should change clothes."

Gao Xuan sent Helen off and said to Xiao Wan, "You don't have to listen to her entirely. But the home products do need to be replaced. I'll leave that to you."

Gao Xuan patted Xiao Wan for comfort and said, "It's all for work. Accompanying Helen is work for me, providing good service is work for you. In the end, it's all for the family."

Xiao Wan sneered; she only now realized how thick-skinned Gao Xuan was.

"Don't worry, all expenses will be reimbursed by Mr. Xiao."

Gao Xuan pushed Xiao Wan out the door, "Thank you for your hard work, keep it up."

Before Xiao Wan could say anything, the door slammed shut.

Standing at the door, Xiao Wan tightly clenched her fists, for some reason, she suddenly felt an urge to hit someone!

Xiao Wan's execution capability was strong. In the afternoon, when Gao Xuan entered the villa with Helen and Yun Qingshang, they found all the everyday items in the villa replaced with new ones.

The bedroom's home products were entirely switched to the Yun Jin Xuan Divine King series.

Although the Xiao Family, as a top noble family, did not advocate extravagant pleasures, they still had a solid foundation.

Of course, in such a short time, it was impossible to change the decorating style.

Luckily, the vacation villa was styled in a modern fashion, easy-going and comfortable. Due to Xiao Jun's personality, the overall design was extremely simple and natural.

The picky Helen took a tour and was quite satisfied with the villa.

Of course, the best part was the golden sea in front of the villa. In an artificial city, enjoying a natural sea view was the most luxurious aspect of the villa.

This stretch of artificial sea also had a complete natural ecosystem, with various shells and crabs scrambling on the beach.

Helen was very pleased with the sea view; the golden sea was truly beautiful.

A private beach fully ensured privacy.

Helen switched to a bikini swimsuit and splashed around in the sea, fully enjoying the sun, ocean, and sand.

Gao Xuan lay back on a deck chair, watching the happy Helen, and felt quite content himself.

"This is the life..."

Standing beside Gao Xuan, Xiao Wan wore a cold expression. To her, this was also life. But as for the taste of it, hard to say.

Xiao Wan couldn't help but ask, "Gao Xuan, are you really going to marry Helen?"

She couldn't help but shake her head, "That's impossible. Hercules, the golden bloodline, won't intermarry with outsiders. Especially not with Helen's direct lineage, who has even awakened the power of the golden bloodline."

She seriously told Gao Xuan, "You know, Helen represents the glory of the Golden Bloodline. No matter what, Hercules will never allow you to marry."

Gao Xuan chuckled, "Who said anything about getting married, Helen is my lover, but she won't be my wife. I'm not planning on getting married at all."

"What?"

Xiao Wan was stunned; she knew Gao Xuan was pretty scummy, but to say it so openly, he wasn't embarrassed at all?

"I'm not marrying Helen, so there's no contradiction. Everyone's happy."

Gao Xuan asserted confidently.

"Does Helen know?" Xiao Wan didn't believe Helen could accept that.

"I haven't told her, but she'll understand in time."

Gao Xuan said indifferently, "Marriage is a social contract between two people. To me, it's a form of constraint. I can't break the contract, but I can choose not to sign it..."

"You're truly scummy."

Xiao Wan expressed her utter disdain as she asked, "You can freely choose women, then Helen can freely choose men!"

"Of course."

Gao Xuan spread his hands, "It's freedom for both parties."

"You're actually that generous?" Xiao Wan found it hard to believe.

"Helen choosing another man would mean giving up on me forever."

Gao Xuan said, "I won't stop her from doing what she wants, but I'll make it clear to her the price of indulgence."

"But you're indulging too!" Xiao Wan pointed out the most important thing.

Gao Xuan laughed heartily, "Helen can also choose to ignore me forever. It's up to her own choice."

"You're truly great." Xiao Wan was left speechless.

"You don't understand, marriage is a societal need, not an individual one."

Gao Xuan said, "Marriages creating families are the most stable and efficient social relations. They're the cornerstone of a stable society."

"You always have a lot of theories."

Despite not liking what Gao Xuan was saying, Xiao Wan didn't know how to refute him.

She also didn't understand why, despite Gao Xuan's young age, he had such a complex thinking process. Sometimes he spoke as if he were the older Xiao Jun's age.
