The Mad Warriors

If Liang Zhixia truly disliked Wang Xuan, she wouldn't have brought her parents tonight. However, at this moment, Liang Zhixia had her head bowed low, almost burying it under the table.

Liang Qiyun suppressed his slight surprise, his face now completely dark. He wasn't going to let this handsome, spirited young man get away with anything tonight. He couldn't just so easily snatch his daughter away from him; she was his precious little darling.

Dr. Xia Wenyin naturally liked the energetic and capable young man in front of her, and immediately urged Wang Xuan, "Quickly, sit next to Zhixia." Liang Qiyun, on the other hand, rolled his eyes at Wang Xuan and thought to himself, "This young man has no manners at all. He should at least have brought some fruit. Do you want people to talk about you like this?"

As soon as Wang Xuan sat down, he quietly asked Liang Zhixia, "Should we give your parents the gift now, or wait until after dinner?" Liang Zhixia then looked up at Wang Xuan. After not seeing him for many years, Wang Xuan was still as cheerful as ever, with his ever-present smile.

However, what Liang Zhixia didn't know was that Wang Xuan used to not smile at everyone. It was because he saw her that Liang Zhixia's smile had touched Wang Xuan.

Liang Zhixia finally asked, "How have you been all these years?" The two had developed feelings for each other back in their war-torn country, but they hadn't seen each other since that incident. It was Liang Zhixia's father who said that Liang Zhixia would look at a photograph of a man when she was at home.

Wang Xuan finally felt that his return to China was worthwhile because of Liang Zhixia's sudden concern.

Liang Zhixia suddenly snapped out of her emotional turmoil and asked her father, "Mom and Dad, Wang Xuan brought gifts. Should we give them to you now or take them with you later?"

Only then did Liang Qiyun feel relieved. It wasn't that he coveted Wang Xuan's gift; he was worried that Wang Xuan might be an impolite and foolish young man, in which case Liang Qiyun would directly reject it. Dr. Xia Wenyin was naturally overjoyed: "Oh, we're just having a simple family meal, why make such a fuss?" Despite her words, Xia Wenyin seemed quite looking forward to Wang Xuan's gift.

Wang Xuan poked Liang Zhixia's arm with his finger, moving closer to her. Liang Zhixia didn't seem to mind Wang Xuan's proximity. Wang Xuan whispered in Liang Zhixia's ear, "Did you keep your word back then?"

Liang Zhixia's other, undisfigured side of her face instantly flushed red. Love is such a strange thing. If two people truly have feelings for each other, even after many years apart, a single sentence can bring them back to the past.

Wang Xuan took a moment to call out, "Waiter, bring the things in."

Carrying it in? Liang Qiyun and Xia Wenyin were both dumbfounded. How many gifts did Wang Xuan bring? And he had to carry them in?

Liang Zhixia poked Wang Xuan with her finger, turned her face to the side and asked, "Are you really back, or is it because of something else?" Liang Zhixia didn't really know what Wang Xuan did, she only knew that he had once served as their protector.

Wang Xuan chuckled but didn't say anything. At the same time, two waiters carried in a large wooden box, and interestingly, there was a big "double happiness" character on the box.

Although this was Liang Qiyun and Xia Wenyin's first time having dinner with their future son-in-law, they had seen other people's engagement scenes before, so this seemed a bit exaggerated.

Xia Wenyin seemed to realize then that Wang Xuan was serious, so she immediately changed her tune and asked, "Hey Xiao Wang, you're all dressed up so formally today, you—" Wang Xuan knew what Liang Zhixia's mother was asking, so he quickly said beforehand, "Auntie, I'm all alone at home." [Actually, Wang Xuan was deliberately lying, after all, if the old folks in his family knew, this would be a real problem.]

Liang Qiyun's expression turned somewhat surprised; he hadn't expected that this energetic and capable young man in front of him had no parents.

"Wait!" Just as Wang Xuan was about to open the wooden box himself, Liang Qiyun suddenly called out to him sternly. Liang Qiyun knew very well that he had to be careful now, for the sake of his poor daughter's happiness. Therefore, even though Wang Xuan's personal background was unfortunate, Liang Qiyun still had to keep his emotions in check and couldn't let Wang Xuan pass the test too easily.

Of course, there is another crucial matter right now, one that most men would not be able to handle.

Xia Wenyin seemed to know what Liang Qiyun was going to say, which was also what Xia Wenyin wanted to ask. Since her husband was going to be the bad guy, she would be the good guy. After all, in this situation, it wouldn't be good to go too far.

Their family was, after all, a scholarly family, but they had too many rules.

Liang Zhixia knew exactly what her father was about to say and stood up nervously. She had always been afraid that Wang Xuan would come back to find her, not for any other reason than this crucial one, which she herself had told Wang Xuan before.

Liang Qiyun still had that villainous look on his face, standing there arrogantly: "Young man, it's not that I'm trying to make things difficult for you, it's just that my daughter's marriage isn't something my parents and I can decide. Her maternal grandfather has already set a rule that if she wants to marry Zhixia, she must become his son-in-law." Actually, Liang Qiyun himself hated saying these words, but he had no choice; Xia Wenyin's father was just too troublesome.

Liang Zhixia was terrified. She feared Wang Xuan might suddenly fly into a rage and leave. She had witnessed similar incidents before, so she was incredibly scared, her heart pounding even faster than when she had been kidnapped earlier that day. Moreover, for Liang Zhixia to make such an "unreasonable" request in her current state was indeed going too far.

Xia Wenyin was just as nervous, afraid that her daughter would miss out on this outstanding man.

It seemed that the family of three was extremely nervous, waiting for Wang Xuan to speak.

Wang Xuan, however, still watched the tense family of three with a sunny smile. Many men find it unacceptable to become a live-in son-in-law. In rural areas, only men without ability become live-in sons-in-law, usually to wealthy families. Moreover, they have no status whatsoever after becoming a live-in son-in-law.

At this moment, Wang Xuan was not in a hurry at all. He slowly walked over to Liang Zhixia's side and stood next to her with a smile: "Uncle and Aunt, you may not know how much I did to get back to China and be with Zhixia." Yes, Wang Xuan almost made the underworld shut down in order to get back to China.

Liang Qiyun and Xia Wenyin were both full of questions. What exactly was this kid trying to say?

Wang Xuan brazenly took Liang Zhixia's hand in front of the two elders: "We had feelings for each other many years ago, and I've only come back to fulfill a promise I made. No matter what Zhixia becomes, I will always love and cherish her. As for your concerns about me becoming a live-in son-in-law, I don't care about it at all, and it won't stop Zhixia and me from being husband and wife."

Tears streamed down Liang Zhixia's face. Years ago, Wang Xuan had made a promise, but after Liang Zhixia was disfigured, she stopped thinking about it because she was afraid that Wang Xuan would abandon her if he saw her now. So she had been trying her best to reject Wang Xuan from her heart. However, the poison of love is deeply ingrained and cannot be removed even by a bone-scraping knife.

Xia Wenyin visibly relaxed and slowly sat down. Xia Wenyin knew all too well the hardship her daughter's fate had endured, and she feared her daughter would encounter bad men. But given her daughter's current state, any normal man would avoid her. Therefore, she never dared to actively arrange blind dates for her daughter.

Liang Qiyun was the same; it was as if a huge weight had been removed from his heart, and he sat down comfortably in his seat.

After calming Liang Zhixia, who was a little agitated, Wang Xuan went to the wooden box. "Uncle and Aunt, this is a gift for you and Zhixia, not a betrothal gift, so don't be nervous." Wang Xuan then slowly opened the lid of the wooden box. Humans are naturally curious, and the family of three almost simultaneously stood up and looked inside the box.

Wang Xuanxian took out two scrolls and handed them to Liang Qiyun: "Uncle, these were given to me by a friend when I was abroad. I don't know if they're real or not. He said they were genuine works by Liu Zongyuan and Tang Bohu." Liang Qiyun almost choked on his breath. Genuine works by Liu Zongyuan and Tang Bohu? You couldn't buy them even if you had a billion dollars these days.

Then, Wang Xuan took out another document and handed it to Xia Wenyin: "Auntie, I heard that you've always wanted to equip your hospital with these instruments, but due to technological blockades by certain countries, they won't be given to you. These instruments were a gift from someone else, and I'm just giving them to you as well. They're not of much value to me. The real gift for you is this; this diamond necklace should be genuine."

Wang Xuan first handed a document to Xia Wenyin, and then took out a huge jewelry box containing a necklace made of pure blue diamonds.

When Wang Xuan bought it, he only spent a few hundred thousand US dollars, of course, by pointing a gun at the boss's head.

Although Xia Wenyin was an aunt, she was also a woman who loved beauty. When she saw the dazzling sapphire necklace, she was so shocked that she choked up.

Then Wang Xuan took out a small box from the trunk; it was clearly filled with rings. Wang Xuan approached Liang Zhixia, who was so excited she was practically spinning around. Wang Xuan opened the box; inside were what appeared to be a very ordinary pair of gold rings: "I'm willing to be your live-in husband."

At this exciting moment, Liang Qiyun suddenly exclaimed excitedly from the side, "My God, this, this, this is the original! I'm going crazy, I'm going crazy!" Indeed, it was the original. Wang Xuan had obtained it from the home of a wealthy American tycoon without paying a single penny.

Wang Xuan smiled and handed the ring box to Liang Zhixia: "Keep this safe for us, we'll use it when we get married."

Wang Xuan had just finished speaking to Liang Zhixia when Liang Qiyun, whose attitude had already changed, became agitated: "Little Wang, this gift is too valuable, really too valuable. I can't accept it."

Meanwhile, Xia Wenyin's hands trembled as she held the documents: "This, this UH airway breathing impact device, this special blood recovery machine, are they, are they, are they real?" At this moment, the dazzling diamond necklace was no longer important. Sometimes, gift-giving truly is an art.

Liang Qiyun was very satisfied, but these things were too precious for a university professor like him and would also cause trouble. So after thinking it over, Liang Qiyun said, "Xiao Wang, it would be troublesome for me to keep these things. How about I donate them to the country for you?"

Xia Wenyin was overjoyed and was about to call out, "Waiter, bring the food!"

The door was pushed open, and a deep male voice rang out: "Wait!"
