Young Master in Flower City

"I'm a god!" Xiao Tianyu said.

"Be serious!"

"Really, I'm serious!" Xiao Tianyu gave a look that said, "I'm not lying to you."

"Why don't you just say you're the ruler of the entire universe?" Shangguan Biyue rolled her eyes. "Gods don't exist; we're living in a scientific era now, superstitions are long gone."

However, there was a look of surprise in Xiao Tianyu's eyes: "How did you know?"

Uh?

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Biyue was dumbfounded. How thick-skinned could this bastard be, claiming to be Sovereign? Why not just say you're the Nine Heavens Profound God? That's all fantasy novel stuff!

Shangguan Biyue was speechless, but luckily only she heard it. If anyone else had, they'd definitely be dragging him off to a mental institution, and clearly, he'd be beyond treatment.

"If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do!" Xiao Tianyu shrugged.

"Who would believe you, ghost!" Shangguan Biyue giggled, "By the way, come with me to the auction tomorrow!"

"Do I have to go?"

"You're the Director of Administration!"

That actually seemed kind of reasonable, Xiao Tianyu thought to himself, and nodded, "Alright then!"

"That's more like it!" Shangguan Biyue nodded in satisfaction, just about to say something more, when Xiao Tianyu interrupted: "Babe, I'm tired, should we go home?"

Tired?

Go home?

Shangguan Biyue eyed Xiao Tianyu skeptically: "Do I look like a fool to you? Every time we go home, you suddenly have tons of energy, just like a starved wolf!"

Even after just a few days, does this woman already know me that well? Xiao Tianyu stared blankly at Shangguan Biyue, feeling a bit speechless. Am I really that fierce?

Then, to prove his innocence, Xiao Tianyu explained: "Babe, that's not what I meant, I'm really tired. How about you go for a walk... hey, don't pull me, I just had a big fight, I'm out of strength..."

"There's a bench over there, let's rest for a bit!"

"No, I just want to sleep... Ah... why are you pinching me?"

"Just say if you're coming or not!"

"..." Xiao Tianyu was at a loss for words, why can't I just go home and sleep? Did I ask for this? I didn't say we had to have a three-hundred-round showdown at home, so why torture me like this?

Looks like marriage is something to be careful about.

Just as Xiao Tianyu thought this, Shangguan Biyue spoke up: "Tianyu, why don't we get married?"

Clatter~

This... is this woman my inner worm? I just thought about it, and now she wants to marry me, no way. You're bossy enough now, how bad would it be once we're married?

"Tianyu, why aren't you saying anything? Are you too happy to speak? Can't blame you, you're getting a big beauty back home, laughing behind everyone's back!"

Laughing? More like crying, Xiao Tianyu thought to himself.

And Shangguan Biyue continued: "Tianyu, you're so lucky to marry someone like me who's understanding, gentle, virtuous, and both a good cook and a socialite!"

Hearing this, Xiao Tianyu felt like coughing up blood. Are you complimenting me, or yourself?

I can believe you're a socialite, but as for the cooking part, I can't say much because I'm the one who cooks every day, for crying out loud. Talking nonsense with a straight face.

Thinking about this, Xiao Tianyu said: "About marriage... actually..."

"Actually what?" Shangguan Biyue's beautiful eyes sparkled, thinking he was so happy he couldn't even speak properly.

"Actually... I think marriage is a lifetime affair and it shouldn't be rushed. We should at least consult our parents, right... Anyway... let's decide after I ask my parents!" Xiao Tianyu said.

"Xiao Tianyu, you... you... you want to eat the meat and wipe your mouth to deny it?"

Immediately, Shangguan Biyue was furious, her chest heaving with emotion. She continued: "Xiao Tianyu, I'm telling you, no way. We're getting a marriage certificate tonight!"

"Ah..." Xiao Tianyu was bewildered. What's happening? Tonight? Can it happen that fast? A flash marriage.

"What's with the 'ah', it's tonight!"

"The Civil Affairs Bureau is already closed!"

"Just a phone call!" Shangguan Biyue, being the president of Biyue International, could make one call and the Civil Affairs Bureau would jump to process it.

"I can't do it!"

"Why, are you backing out?"

"It's not about backing out. The main point... the main point is that it's a one-husband-one-wife system, so... you know!"

"You mean Ye Qingcheng?"

"Of course!" Xiao Tianyu nodded seriously, damn it, even though Ye Qingcheng had a high opinion of herself, she wasn't entirely useless. At least she could block this for me.

Marriage?

Ha ha~ Am I that dumb? Didn't know marriage is a grave? Wouldn't make sense for me to be digging into the grave, am I that stupid?

Actually, with Xiao Tianyu's capability, forget one husband to one wife, even one husband to a hundred wives wouldn't be a problem for him. It all depends on whether he wants to or not.

This bastard seems quite reasonable, but... how long will I have to be the other woman? And doing this, why does it feel like I'm stealing someone else's man?

Shangguan Biyue thought to herself, surely she couldn't force him to divorce, right?

No way, the ancients had a saying, better to dismantle ten temples than ruin one marriage. Can't do this immoral thing.

Then, Shangguan Biyue's beautiful eyes locked on Xiao Tianyu: "Okay, but us being like this... is it really fine?"

"Fine!" Xiao Tianyu nodded earnestly.

As long as there's no marriage, everything's fine.

However, at that moment, a slight murderous aura approached, unnoticed by Shangguan Biyue.

But Xiao Tianyu, being who he was, couldn't possibly miss it. Seems like a lot of people want me dead, huh!

Swish swish~

A bullet with a frightening sound of breaking through the air came whistling, yet without a gunshot sound, apparently because the shooter used a silencer.

Xiao Tianyu frowned, a hint of murder flashing in his eyes.

He then grabbed Shangguan Biyue in his arms, causing her to stagger. What's this guy doing?

The next second, Xiao Tianyu's two fingers pinched swiftly, and a bullet stopped an inch from him, held between his fingers.

Seeing this, Shangguan Biyue was dumbfounded: "Tianyu, someone's trying to kill us!"

"Not us, me. Wait here!" Xiao Tianyu snorted coldly, tiptoed, and his whole body soared into the air.

"What, he can catch bullets with his bare hands? Is... is this even a human? No way, I'm not doing this mission, I want to live."

At this moment, a black-clad sniper clutching a rifle in a nearby building widened his pupils. Never had he seen anyone catch a bullet with two fingers.

This isn't human, this is friggin' a god.

Thinking this, the sniper quickly packed up, clutching his rifle ready to flee, but was stopped in his tracks by the scene before him.

For one reason alone, Xiao Tianyu was already standing behind him, without him noticing.
