"Cough, cough, I'm back, wife."
Lin Xiaotian had a rough idea why the people at the company were so surprised; they must have seen these priceless treasures, which was why they were so excited.
Just by looking at Chu Nianxue's reaction, he was eighty percent sure.
"Xiaotian? You better tell me honestly, how did you get your hands on these treasures?"
Upon seeing Lin Xiaotian, Chu Nianxue quickly pulled him aside, demanding an explanation.
The previous batches of antiques had already shocked her, but she never expected this batch to be ten times more valuable than the previous ones.
These antiques, worth two hundred billion, were not something an ordinary person could obtain.
Lin Xiaotian shrugged and calmly replied, "Of course, I bought them with money. It cost me a full two hundred billion. Don't worry, wife, sell them with confidence. As far as I know, these things can fetch a high price of five hundred billion."
"Two hundred billion? Where did you get two hundred billion?" Chu Nianxue continued to question.
"Well..."
Lin Xiaotian's eyes darted around. To avoid worrying Chu Nianxue, he smiled slightly and said, "A friend gave them to me. I helped him out a lot, and he had too much money to spend, so he gave me two hundred billion."
"Really?"
Chu Nianxue looked at him with disbelief and pressed on, "If you're lying, you'll never be able to marry me in this lifetime."
"Heh heh, wife, why would I lie to you? I'm doing all this for you. If you miss out on me, you'll never meet such a good man again in this life."
Sensing Chu Nianxue's inner joy, Lin Xiaotian consciously walked up to her and wrapped his arms around her slender waist.
She hit Lin Xiaotian a couple of times, signaling him to let go. "Don't think you can coax me like this and I'll forgive you for what happened last night. Maybe you treat other women like this outside too."
"Wife, I swear to heaven, I have nothing to do with that girl. I was really joking with you last night. If I'm lying, may lightning strike me the moment I step outside, and may I have a child with no nose, and also..."
"Enough!"
Chu Nianxue looked at him angrily and stopped him. "Are you cursing yourself or me? Do you want me to be a widow for life and have a disabled child?"
"Heh heh, I knew you weren't angry anymore, wife."
Lin Xiaotian played around with her, and she eventually became happy with his coaxing.
Looking at her joyful expression, Lin Xiaotian said again, "By the way, wife, we haven't gone out for a meal together in a long time. How about I treat you to Western food tonight?"
"Okay, but I don't want just any Western food. I want the most expensive in Songzhou City," Chu Nianxue said playfully.
"No problem, wife, just watch."
Lin Xiaotian snapped his fingers, agreeing with great confidence.
However, after agreeing, he fell into deep thought, thinking that he didn't know anyone in the catering industry.
Moreover, he didn't even know which was the best Western restaurant in Songzhou City.
Just as he was pondering, an assistant suddenly walked in, smiling at Chu Nianxue. "President Chu, someone just came from outside. She said she's from Langyun Pavilion and represents their pavilion master to personally wish President Chu and Mr. Lin a long and happy marriage."
"She also specifically brought a box of ancient high-quality jade and a prestigious restaurant membership card."
"Langyun Pavilion Master?"
Chu Nianxue looked confused. She had heard of Langyun Pavilion and knew it was the largest jade shop in the gambling stone industry.
The jade in their pavilion was the best in the entire Songzhou City, and even the high-end luxury jade in some famous stores came from Langyun Pavilion.
Legend had it that the master of Langyun Pavilion was a beautiful woman who was rarely seen, like a dragon that shows its head but not its tail.
Why would she suddenly send her a gift?
After a moment of confusion, she suddenly thought of Lin Xiaotian beside her and curiously asked, "Xiaotian, did you do this again?"
"Wife, this has nothing to do with me. I don't know any Langyun Pavilion Master. Wait... Langyun Pavilion?"
Lin Xiaotian's words trailed off, and he was also shocked.
Didn't he just cause trouble at Langyun Pavilion?
Shouldn't their pavilion master come to find him for trouble? Why would she come to give gifts?
Something felt a bit off about this.
After thinking for a moment, he looked at the assistant and said, "Where are the items from Langyun Pavilion? I want to see them myself."
"They're outside," the assistant replied directly.
Without further ado, Lin Xiaotian immediately got up and went outside to inspect the items.
He had thought the items might contain some trap or even poison, which would not be good.
However, after inspecting them, he found no traps in the jade and emeralds. Instead, all of them were rare and precious items that were impossible to find on the market.
Lin Xiaotian stroked his chin, wondering, "What exactly is going on? Why is the Langyun Pavilion Master sending gifts for no reason?"
Buzz!
Just then, Lin Xiaotian's phone vibrated twice!
He took out his phone and saw a message from his master. It read: "Little punk, what trouble have you stirred up in Songzhou City again? There's an opponent of equal strength pursuing you. I've found a helper for you."
"If you can't defeat that person, go find Shao Hongyu. She is the master of Langyun Pavilion, with countless experts under her command, and she has the things you need most."
"By the way, she also has some clues about your parents. What exactly they are depends on your own abilities."
"So it's Master?"
After reading the message, Lin Xiaotian suddenly understood!
His master had helped him smooth things over with Langyun Pavilion, and they were here to help.
In that case, his master was quite considerate.
"Xiaotian, I can't believe you've been hiding so much. You just said you wanted to treat me to Western food, and now someone has sent us a membership card for a Western restaurant. This is the best Western restaurant in Songzhou City, and it's usually impossible to get a reservation."
"This kind of membership card is a rare limited edition in Songzhou City. I never expected someone to give it to us proactively."
Chu Nianxue picked up the restaurant card next to the jade, her face full of surprise.
"Heh heh, I originally wanted to give my wife a surprise, but I didn't expect Langyun Pavilion to be so unreliable. They leaked such a small matter."
Lin Xiaotian rubbed his head, pretending to be boastful.
The only thing he regretted was that the Langyun Pavilion Master hadn't left a phone number.
With so many gifts, he felt he should at least express his gratitude.
But it was okay; Langyun Pavilion wasn't far from here. After dinner tonight, he would go thank her in person tomorrow morning.
Chu Nianxue's face bloomed into a radiant smile, and her affection for Lin Xiaotian deepened.
Even the assistant standing nearby found the scene incredibly romantic!
"President Chu, this is bad, something has happened at the antique shop."
Just as Chu Nianxue was arranging for the jade to be moved and stored, she suddenly received dire news from the antique shop.
Her eyebrows furrowed, and she asked, confused, "What happened?"
