Looking at Jing Xiangwei, who was as beautiful as an ethereal fairy without makeup, Shen Qiang said softly, "I missed you too."

Jing Xiangwei smiled charmingly, her dimples appearing so delicate and cute. Despite her blushing face, she gathered her courage and said, "Shen Qiang, while you were away, you were all I could think about. I kept giving wrong change at the store because of it."

Seeing Shen Qiang's smile, Jing Xiangwei's gaze became even shyer, and she continued softly, almost unable to look at him, "Especially at night, I couldn't sleep. I kept thinking about you, and I could even smell your scent in my dreams."

Shen Qiang smiled, lifting her chin gently with his finger, "I hope you didn't find that unpleasant."

Jing Xiangwei's face turned as red as fire. She said softly, "A few days ago, my mother visited. She advised me to go back with her, to stop enduring hardship outside. She even said that it doesn't matter who you spend your life with. But I've made up my mind, Shen Qiang, I like you, I love you, and I want to be with you!"

With her face red like fire, Jing Xiangwei looked at Shen Qiang with shining eyes and said, "So I told my mom that I had found the person I love. Even if I'm just a cashier at a bun shop, thinking about you makes me very happy!"

Hearing those words, Shen Qiang couldn't help but hold her tenderly in his arms, his heart aching slightly.

After all, Jing Xiangwei was the eldest daughter of the Jing Family.

The Jing Family, although a second-rate family in the cultivation world, was still significant. Even among the lower ranks of second-rate cultivator families, the starving camel is always bigger than a horse. In the secular world, Jing Xiangwei was undoubtedly a top-tier wealthy beauty.

"I'm sorry for making you suffer," Shen Qiang sighed.

Resting in Shen Qiang's arms, Jing Xiangwei looked up, her beautiful eyes filled with joy.

She spoke with happiness and shyness, "It's not suffering at all. Just thinking about being with you makes me happy. Besides, being a cashier is not tiring at all. Moreover, last time when I made a mistake, you fought with the Long Yan Sword Sect because of me, yet you never blamed me once."

"So I feel incredibly blessed and grateful to heaven for giving me this opportunity to meet you in the right place at the right time. I told my mom that unless you don't want me anymore, I will never leave you."

Looking into Jing Xiangwei's devoted eyes,

Shen Qiang, who originally wanted to confess that he had killed her brother, swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue. It would be too cruel to say such things now.

Gently brushing aside the hair falling over her temples, looking at her beautiful face and the expecting eyes, Shen Qiang couldn't help but respond softly, "Silly girl, you're so wonderful. Even if I would give up everything, I could never give you up."

"Yes! We will always be together," Jing Xiangwei's eyes were full of happiness.

Shen Qiang smiled, casually picking up the Daluo Heavenly Tribulation Heart Sutra that the Beautiful Demon Fox Chu Qing had returned to him, "This is for you. After practicing it, remember to give it back to me."

"Daluo Heavenly Tribulation Heart Sutra!" Jing Xiangwei's eyes lit up, but then she merely placed the Heart Sutra on the bedside table, without the exhilaration or pride Shen Qiang had anticipated, as if it were just an ordinary textbook.

This made Shen Qiang acutely aware that Jing Xiangwei truly liked him, not the so-called Supreme Scripture. Yet, he still couldn't help but say, "I thought you'd be excited."

Jing Xiangwei laughed lightly, "Of course I'm happy. Previously, you were adamant about not giving it to me, even asking for six billion. But now, without saying a word, you handed it to me. This proves that I was not mistaken; you like me and you want to be with me."

...

Early the next morning, as the frost on the window turned into a hazy mist in the morning light,

Feeling Jing Xiangwei waking up in his arms, Shen Qiang opened his eyes and saw her charmingly shy yet infinitely satisfied gaze stealing glances at him. Shen Qiang hugged her tighter and said softly, "You're definitely going to be late today."

Jing Xiangwei, avoiding his gaze shyly, wrapped her soft jade-like arms around Shen Qiang's neck and said softly, "Last night, before coming, Sister Gao Hui repeatedly told me that I could go to the store at any time today."

Hearing this, Shen Qiang's eyes lit up, "Really?"

Unaware of what Shen Qiang was thinking, Jing Xiangwei cutely replied, "Of course it's true."

"Then I will take my time," Shen Qiang said, flipping over to press Jing Xiangwei beneath him. Her face turned red instantly, and she playfully scolded, "No, you bad guy."

Shen Qiang laughed and shook his head.

But at that moment, a valiant figure suddenly appeared by the window. Shen Qiang was startled to see Qian Shanxue, with a calm expression, not only wiped the mist off the window with her jade hand but also used True Yuan to push open the curtains. She then looked seriously at the confused Shen Qiang and Jing Xiangwei on the bed and said earnestly.

"The Dragon Group's notice has been issued. You need to come out and meet me immediately."

Hearing this, Shen Qiang's anger flared up instantly. "How many times do I have to tell you to use the door?" he roared.
