"Mingxi, what are you spraying on the bed?" Cheng Xiaofan noticed Li Mingxi holding a miniature spray bottle and spraying it on the bed incessantly.
Li Mingxi turned back with a smile and said, "Master, I'm spraying a disinfectant. It not only improves the air but also creates a romantic atmosphere!"
"A disinfectant can create a romantic atmosphere?" Cheng Xiaofan couldn't help but shake his head.
Li Mingxi chuckled, "Master, don't disbelieve me. I'm telling the truth. Its fragrance can stimulate the nerves in the brain!"
"..." Damn it!
Cheng Xiaofan couldn't be bothered to listen any further.
He waved his hand, "Go take a shower. Stop polluting the air!"
"Okay, I'm going to take a shower!" Li Mingxi put down the spray bottle, picked up a change of clothes, and hopped to the bathroom.
Cheng Xiaofan glanced sideways and shook his head again.
What was this vixen up to? Why wasn't she closing the door when she went into the bathroom?
Was this beautiful disciple intentionally testing her master's patience?
Listening to the sound of water from the bathroom, he couldn't help but shake his head and smile wryly.
Inside the bathroom.
As Li Mingxi washed herself, she wondered if anything would happen tonight.
However, when she finished bathing and walked out, she found Cheng Xiaofan lying on the sofa with his legs curled up, already asleep.
Listening to his pleasant snores, Li Mingxi was dumbfounded.
How could this "Night Romance" spray have no effect on him at all?
"Master, Master, wake up..." Li Mingxi called out several times, but Cheng Xiaofan showed no reaction.
He was sleeping so soundly!
At this moment, Li Mingxi had no idea that her master was in a dragon boat on the vast starry sky, intertwined with his Bai goddess, their dragon roars and phoenix cries mingling.
After an unknown amount of time, Cheng Xiaofan woke up. His gaze pierced through the window and he saw a hint of fish-belly white appearing in the eastern sky.
"I should go back!" Cheng Xiaofan jumped out of bed with a roll.
At this moment, he noticed Li Mingxi sleeping soundly on the opposite bed.
To avoid disturbing her, Cheng Xiaofan tiptoed to the bathroom and washed up.
When he came out of the bathroom, he found that Li Mingxi had already sat up in bed. He couldn't help but smile slightly and say, "I'm sorry, I disturbed your rest!"
Li Mingxi smiled, "Master, it's not even dawn yet, and you're in such a hurry to go back?"
Cheng Xiaofan said with a smile, "Mingxi, to be honest, today is the day my Bai goddess and I get engaged. Of course, I have to rush back early."
Upon hearing this, Li Mingxi exclaimed in surprise, "What, today is the day you and Mistress are getting engaged?"
"No wonder you were in such a hurry to rush back last night. So there's such an important matter on your shoulders. Master, it was my fault for being ignorant and delaying your precious time."
Cheng Xiaofan chuckled, "It's alright. After all, it's about your safety. It's only right that I stayed to keep you company for a night. When I went to the bathroom just now, I took the opportunity to survey the surroundings and found no signs of danger. After daybreak, you can leave safely."
"Thank you, Master!"
Li Mingxi said, "I wish you and Mistress a son soon!"
"..." Cheng Xiaofan was speechless.
There was still a distance between engagement and marriage!
How could the words "a son soon" have slipped out of her mouth.
It was impossible to have a clear conversation with this demon.
"Alright, I'm leaving!" Cheng Xiaofan slung his backpack over his shoulder and fled the room as if escaping.
He opened a window in the corridor, leaped out, and floated outside. Just as he was sensed by the Sky-Breaking Seat, it flapped its wings and flew to his side, carrying him on its back.
"Chirp—"
The Sky-Breaking Eagle rolled up an energy ball, concealed its form, and like a released arrow, carried its master towards Zhuxi Village.
At the same time, Li Mingxi had also tidied up and left the hotel, getting into her car.
However, after she quickly started the car and drove out of the city, she didn't head towards the provincial capital where she was supposed to return, but took a shortcut towards Cheng Xiaofan's hometown.
As dawn broke, Cheng Xiaofan had already arrived at Zhuxi Village. 138 Reading Network
As soon as he entered the house, he found Luo Changsheng and Tu Biao, accompanied by his father, sitting at a table drinking tea and eating snacks.
Luo Changsheng and Tu Biao had been appointed as the matchmakers by Miao Xiuhua, so their status was naturally very esteemed today.
The three daughters of the Tu family and Tang Guihua, along with some women from the village, were busy steaming rice cakes to be distributed to everyone at the new villa.
Today was both the day Cheng Xiaofan and Bai Yiling were getting engaged and the day to celebrate the completion of the new house.
With both events combined, it was naturally exceptionally busy.
"Xiaofan, you're finally back!"
Miao Xiuhua saw her son. Her originally beaming face suddenly fell like a curtain, "I thought you were going to play outside for a few days. It's rare to see you!"
"Call Yiling and tell her you're back!"
Cheng Xiaofan asked curiously, "Where did Yiling go? Why should I call her?"
Miao Xiuhua glared at him fiercely, "Are you not from Zhuxi Village? Don't you even understand the local customs?"
"Today is your engagement day. How could she still stay with us? She moved to the construction site last night!"
Upon hearing this, Cheng Xiaofan remembered the local custom that for engagement, the bride's family, to avoid suspicion, must not stay at the groom's house but must return to their own home.
Only then could the groom's matchmakers go to the bride's family to propose, exchange birthdates, etc.
At the same time, invite people from the bride's side to visit the groom's family.
"Yiling, I'm home!" Cheng Xiaofan, following his mother's orders, immediately dialed his Bai goddess's number.
Bai Yiling chuckled, "Xiaofan, you stayed at the hotel in C City last night, and you're back so early this morning. You're really fast!"
"Ah, Yiling, how did you know I stayed at the hotel in C City last night?" Cheng Xiaofan asked curiously.
Bai Yiling smiled, "The hotel where you stayed is an industry under Lu Yinshuang. She happened to be there yesterday receiving two friends and saw you registering with a beautiful woman at the counter!"
"Lu Yinshuang also told me that you and that beautiful woman shared a room!"
Cheng Xiaofan's head buzzed as if it was about to explode.
This was bad, a huge misunderstanding had occurred.
He never expected that the hotel was owned by Lu Yinshuang, and he and Li Mingxi had booked a room together, only for her to witness it.
"Did Lu Yinshuang reach you that quickly?" Cheng Xiaofan asked with sweat beading on his forehead.
Bai Yiling said, "Lu Yinshuang didn't arrive that quickly. She called me yesterday and sent me a video of you with that beautiful woman."
Cheng Xiaofan's breathing became unsteady.
To avoid his parents overhearing his conversation with Bai Yiling, he had to walk out of the house and quickly said, "Yiling, actually, it was just a misunderstanding!"
