My Sexy CEO Wife

Chapter 320 - 317: This is bad

The sky is so vast.

The earth is so wide.

Gao Fei wished to transform into a mighty eagle, soaring into the sky, gliding at the edge of heaven, looking down upon the land, free and carefree.

"Living feels so good."

With his hands clasped behind his back, Gao Fei strolled slowly along the mountain path.

The gentle breeze brushing against his face was tingling, tickling, and ever so comfortable.

"Hmm, this place isn't bad, it has mountains and water, flowers and grass, and it's also very quiet, very suitable for closed-door cultivation." Gao Fei halted, surveying his surroundings: "I'll start my closed-door cultivation here!" Having made up his mind, Gao Fei excavated a cave at the foot of the mountain. After tidying it up, he began his closed-door cultivation.

...

Flowers bloomed, each branch displaying its unique beauty.

Next, let's talk about Dongfang Jian's situation.

Since joining the Niu Family, Dongfang Jian had been working hard to show off his abilities, diligently carrying out his duties, modestly living his life. By a stroke of luck, he had made the acquaintance of the Niu Family's young miss. After a few interactions, the two had become great friends with no topic off-limits.

That afternoon.

The Niu Family's young miss approached Dongfang Jian, her face beaming with a smile: "I have something I want to give you."

"What is it?" Dongfang Jian asked curiously.

"Here, it's this." Niu Huahua handed a delicate little box to Dongfang Jian.

Dongfang Jian asked with puzzlement: "What is this?"

"Open it and see for yourself."

"Oh?"

Dongfang Jian lifted the lid of the box, looked down, and was immediately taken aback: "Is this... a treasure?"

"That's right, it's a treasure." Niu Huahua smiled: "Do you like it?"

"This..." Of course, Dongfang Jian liked it. It was a treasure, after all. Anyone but a fool would like it: "This gift is too precious, I can't accept it."

"What? You don't like it?"

"Like it! Of course, I do!"

"Since you like it, then take it."

"It's too valuable..."

"If you consider me a friend, then hurry up and take it!"

...

Persuaded by Niu Huahua, Dongfang Jian eventually accepted the treasure.

"Dongfang Jian, I'm going to ask you a question, and you must answer me immediately, without any hesitation," Niu Huahua said. "You must tell the truth."

Dongfang Jian nodded: "Ask away. I'll tell you everything I know."

"First question!" Niu Huahua raised a finger: "Am I pretty?"

"Pretty," Dongfang Jian nodded.

"Second question." Niu Huahua lifted a second finger, her smile beaming: "Is my figure good?"

"Good." Dongfang Jian continued nodding.

"Third question." Niu Huahua held up a third finger, her smile blooming like a flower: "If I asked you to marry me, would you be willing? No hesitation, answer now."

"..." Dongfang Jian was stunned, he had not expected Niu Huahua to ask this, "I... well... you..."

"Answer me quickly!" Niu Huahua's expression darkened: "Is it that hard to answer?"

"It's not that, I just... uhm..." Dongfang Jian stammered: "The young miss is beautiful like a flower, of noble status, anyone who marries you must have burned high incense in a past life... To be honest, I also admire the young miss... "

Niu Huahua's eyes lit up: "So, you're saying you agree?"

"Miss, it's impossible between us."

"Why?"

"The difference in our social status is too great."

"How great?"

"You are a high and mighty lady, while I'm but a common disciple. To say there's a world of difference between us is not an exaggeration. Your future husband will surely be a man of earth-shattering importance, and I am nowhere near worthy of you."

"I don't care much about status."

"You might not care about status, but what about your parents? Your grandfather? Your brothers and sisters? Will they not care?"

"They are them, and I am me. They have no right to interfere in my affairs."

"Miss, be reasonable," Dongfang Jian said with a bitter smile. "Don't let your emotions cloud your judgment…"

"Dongfang Jian, I'll just ask you one thing. Do you like me?" Niu Huahua asked. "I am a straightforward person. I can't hide my feelings—I'm direct. If I like someone, I say so, and if I don't, I say so too. I don't beat around the bush.

Now I'm telling you clearly that I have taken a liking to you, that I like you, and I want to be your wife. Are you willing? Give me a straight answer. If you don't want to, I'll turn around and leave right now and never bother you again."

"Miss…"

"Answer me!"

"…I like…," Dongfang Jian gritted his teeth and said, "I like you."

Niu Huahua smiled, a smile that was particularly joyful. "You like me and I like you. Isn't this what people call mutual affection?"

Dongfang Jian nodded. "Yes, it's mutual affection."

"Let's get married."

"Married?"

"Yes, don't you want to marry me?"

"This is not something to rush into…"

"I'm in a hurry! I've already told you, I'm a straightforward person who doesn't like to dawdle. I will lay my cards on the table with my family tonight…"

"Don't," Dongfang Jian hurriedly said. "Don't tell your family."

"Why not?"

"Your family will definitely not agree."

"Even if they don't agree, I still want to marry you."

"Listen to me, we must keep our relationship a secret. Don't tell your family. When my cultivation is higher, and my status within the Niu Family is improved, then we can talk to your family. Maybe they won't oppose me as strongly then." Dongfang Jian had thought it through carefully.

In this day and age, marriages were about equal social status, especially for a lady of a prominent family like Niu Huahua; the expectations would be very high.

"Fine, I'll listen to you." Niu Huahua finally changed her mind after Dongfang Jian's persuasion.

After chatting for a few more moments, Niu Huahua left.

"Phew…"

Dongfang Jian let out a long sigh. "This has come too suddenly, and I was completely unprepared. The Miss of the Niu Family has taken a fancy to me? What a surprise! Well, this matter could be a big deal, or a small one, depending on how we handle it. Niu Huahua is beautiful and of noble birth; having her as a wife wouldn't be bad."

If he could become the son-in-law of the Niu Family, it would definitely benefit his future cultivation.

To tell the truth, Dongfang Jian did not have strong feelings for Niu Huahua. He was more interested in her status and position. If Niu Huahua were an ordinary woman, he wouldn't even give her a second glance.

…

As evening approached,

a group of people burst aggressively into Dongfang Jian's dwelling.

"Dongfang Jian, come out here!!!" a man with thick eyebrows and large eyes shouted loudly.

"What's happened?" Dongfang Jian came out from his room.

"Dongfang Jian, you've got some nerve, daring to seduce the Miss! It looks like you're tired of living!" the man with thick eyebrows and large eyes said sternly.

Dongfang Jian was taken aback and then his brows furrowed. What's going on? Didn't I tell Niu Huahua to keep it a secret? How did it get out? This is bad!
