After the two of them came out, Yan Tiannong's previously calm and composed demeanor disappeared, and he asked in a trembling voice, "Are you really Mei's husband?"

Xiao Zihan decisively replied, "Absolutely. Father-in-law, do you still have any doubts?"

Shaking his head, Yan Tiannong, excitedly, inquired, "Where is Mei now? Is she doing well?"

Xiao Zihan sighed deeply and said with a touch of melancholy, "After hardship, there will be sweetness. This is an unchanging truth in the world. Father-in-law, and Mother-in-law provided Mei with an environment for independent living and creation from a young age, fostering her resilient and perseverant character. Mei is intelligent, and the burden of life gave her practical experience early on, enriching her with experiences others lack in their twenties. Now, she is successful in her career, living without worries, but lacking the love that belongs to parents. Father-in-law, can you give it to her?"

Yan Tiannong felt extremely bitter in his heart and said sadly, "We have wronged her. My union with Jiaojiao was impulsive. I was a well-known playboy at the time, and Jiaojiao was a notorious flirt. After we met, we felt a mutual connection, and our hearts turned to each other. For a period after marriage, we indeed lived like immortals. However, gradually, we spent all our savings, and not knowing how to earn money, we had to resort to our old ways. The biggest mistake in this was giving birth to Mei. Xiao Han, I don't mind telling you the truth; my skills at the time were not just boasting. Every woman praised them, and even during those debaucheries, I was already thinking about the next time. Jiaojiao was no less than me; she was also the object of desire for many men. Alas—no matter what is said, it's all in vain. We have wronged Mei, and now I only hope to see her once. I don't ask for anything more."

Xiao Zihan chuckled inwardly. Although he had a brief interaction with Yan Tiannong, he understood his character to some extent. Timid and afraid of trouble, with a penchant for boasting and an eagerness for success, he was likely playing a trick to make an exit strategy. Yet, he was, after all, Mei's father. Despite Xiao Zihan's anger at him for abandoning Mei and not fulfilling his fatherly duties, which caused Mei much suffering, if Yan Tiannong hadn't done that, Mei wouldn't have become a hotel owner and wouldn't have met Xiao Zihan. Life was often like this; the person you despised the most might indirectly lead you to success, leaving you unsure whether to hate or thank them. In the end, it was a balance between achievements and flaws, prompting a reassessment of the person—whether to love or hate them.

After realizing this, Xiao Zihan suddenly smiled and said, "Mei is now in Changliao, owning a hotel. Father-in-law and Mother-in-law, when you go there, take good care of Mei. What she lacks most now is the love of parents."

Upon hearing that Mei owned a hotel, Yan Tiannong's heart trembled with joy, thinking that he would no longer have to toil for a living. A hotel owner—aha, there was hope for the second half of his life. Despite feeling pleased, his distressed expression didn't escape Xiao Zihan's vigilant eyes. Yan Tiannong's awareness of being on guard made him appear even more remorseful.

Xiao Zihan, knowing what he was thinking, chose not to expose it. He said, "Father-in-law, no need to blame yourself. Mei won't blame you, and I won't either. Tomorrow, you and Mother-in-law will go to Changliao. After that, Father-in-law, you won't have to pickpocket anymore."

Yan Tiannong felt embarrassed for a moment and smiled wryly, "Xiao Han, I was forced to do it for survival. Can you please stop mocking me?"

Xiao Zihan nodded with a smile. Thinking about Hu Weimin's wallet still in his possession, he realized that if Hu Weimin discovered it, knowing his temperament, he would surely make a fuss. The best way was to take it secretly and return it without leaving any traces. After Xiao Zihan mentioned this matter, Yan Tiannong patted his chest, solemnly promising that he would do it without leaving any evidence.

Xiao Zihan nodded again and shifted the conversation back to business, saying, "Father-in-law, what do you think of this young man, Jianghu?"

Yan Tiannong's eyes lit up, and he expressed his satisfaction, "The young man seems a bit inexperienced, but he's a good person, especially in martial arts. He can be considered outstanding. What's the matter, Xiao Han? Are you interested in him?"

Xiao Zihan smiled slightly and said, "Mei, as the owner of a hotel, should have a decent bodyguard. What do you think of Lin Jianghu for this role?"

Yan Tiannong's eyes sparkled with approval, and he said, "Not bad, not bad. It's just right. Use him."

"Then, Father-in-law, please go and talk to him. I think he and Father-in-law get along particularly well. Father-in-law, your persuasion might be more effective than mine. What do you think?"

"No problem, Xiao Han. I'll take care of this. Besides, it's for Mei's safety. I'll definitely do my best to convince Jianghu."

Not long after the two returned, Lin Jianghu came back, but he looked quite different. When he went out, he was holding a beauty in his arms, but now he had a clear slap mark on his face, surprising everyone. They inquired about what had happened.

Lin Jianghu complained, "That girl accused me of taking advantage of her, saying that I deserved this."

Duan Jiaojiao, feeling sorry for him, approached and asked, "Why didn't you dodge, young man? With your skills, how could you let that little girl beat you?"

Lin Jianghu lowered his head, blushing, and said, "She's right; I deserved to be beaten because..."

"Because of what? Tell me," Duan Jiaojiao urged.

"Because I accidentally pressed my hand on her... her chest," Lin Jianghu mumbled.

"How did it feel?" Duan Jiaojiao didn't give him a chance to breathe, continuing with her questions.

Without much thought, Lin Jianghu blurted out his thoughts, "Very soft, like cotton. No, more elastic than cotton. Holding it in my hand..." He suddenly realized he shouldn't have said these things, feeling awkward and embarrassed as if he had done something wrong, lowering his head even more.

Everyone burst into laughter, and the atmosphere became lively. In the afternoon, the slanting sunlight dispelled the chill of early winter, making it feel like spring had arrived.

Xiao Zihan took Yan Tiannong, Duan Jiaojiao, and Lin Jianghu to his affiliated gambling den. Although the casino was quiet, with few gamblers playing cards, Xiao Zihan didn't mind. The lower profile, the better.

As they entered, Xing Ao came forward with an excited and joyful expression on his face, looking as if he had obtained some precious treasure.

Xing Ao asked eagerly, "Boss, guess who's here?"

Xiao Zihan was puzzled, "Who?"

Xing Ao said, "You'll know when you go in."

Xiao Zihan frowned for a moment but then stretched out, laughing heartily, "Which one of my treasures has arrived?"

Just as Xing Ao was about to reveal the name, Xiao Zihan waved his hand, interrupting him, and started introducing Yan Tiannong and the others. Xing Ao's expression became strange upon hearing that the man and woman were Mei's parents, and it got even more peculiar when he heard Xiao Zihan introducing Lin Jianghu. Someone who made Xiao Zihan praise his legwork in front of him was undoubtedly extraordinary. Especially when Xiao Zihan mentioned speed, even Xing Ao, who usually felt self-confident, was extremely surprised and began to look at Lin Jianghu with a different perspective.

Xiao Zihan asked Xing Ao to take the three to the lounge to rest, while he went to see if Mei or Xiao He was inside. He had interrupted Xing Ao earlier because he was afraid Mei might be the one coming. He needed to inform her first before introducing her to her parents. Despite Mei's years of actively searching for her parents, Xiao Zihan knew she still harbored some resentment towards them. He needed to prepare her psychologically.

Inside the gambling den, there were two doors, one on the west side and one on the north side. Xing Ao took the three through the west door, while Xiao Zihan went towards the north door. After entering the north door, there was a corridor. Although not long, it connected to three rooms. Judging by the distance between the doors, the first two rooms were quite small, while the third one had a relatively spacious area. Without hesitation, Xiao Zihan headed towards the third door.

As soon as he pushed open the door, a figure rushed out from inside, as fast as the wind and thunder. She pressed Xiao Zihan against the outer wall of the corridor, covering his big mouth with a kiss.

This type of kissing style made Xiao Zihan, even with his eyes closed, know who it was. Moreover, he had a clear view of the alluring face of the visitor. Xiao He's kisses were different from those of other women. There was no romantic and tender atmosphere, but there was a unique, refreshing pleasure. For this long-missed tender lip, Xiao Zihan also felt extremely nostalgic. His tongue, like a fierce snake, rushed into Xiao He's mouth, entwining her sweet lilac tongue and savoring it. At the same time, his big hand, unable to stay still, climbed onto Xiao He's soft and delicate chest.

Feeling around, Xiao Zihan found that the sensation was not very clear because Xiao He was wearing too much. No matter how he touched outside the clothes, he couldn't feel the desired pleasure. Without thinking, he pulled up Xiao He's cashmere sweater. His big hand smoothly entered, freely groping one of Xiao He's plump and firm snow peaks, kneading it ceaselessly. The other hand also timely sneaked into Xiao He's waist, crawling down towards the mysterious and charming area.

Xiao He's delicate body kept trembling, becoming hotter and hotter, and the sound of her gentle gasps continuously emanated from her small mouth. The waves of her charming voice constantly impacted Xiao Zihan's mind.

Just as Xiao He thought a war was about to break out, Xiao Zihan's hands suddenly stopped, swiftly retracting from Xiao He's clothes. Xiao He gradually regained her composure, pouting and dissatisfied, "Oh my, Big Brother Han, what's wrong? I was getting excited, why did you suddenly stop?"

Xiao Zihan, with a wry smile, said, "My dear Little He, I am currently in a state of self-discipline, and I can't afford to give you too much."

Xiao He tilted her head, puzzled, and asked, "Why, Big Brother Han? The day before yesterday, I watched your intense battle with Mei Sister, it was truly spectacular. Why can't you continue now? Hey, Big Brother Han, give me a break. It's rare for me to take the initiative."

Xiao Zihan, upon hearing her mention the recording, suddenly felt anger rising. He said, "Where's Mei? Where is she?"

Xiao He was taken aback and said, "She's right here in the room."

Xiao Zihan gently pushed Xiao He aside, opened the door, and walked in.

Yan Mei was sitting on the large bed against the wall, lost in thought. Upon seeing him, she immediately lit up with joy. Her enchanting and lively eyes were radiant, exuding an otherworldly beauty.

Seeing Yan Mei so happy, Xiao Zihan forgot all his grievances. He let Yan Mei, who fluttered like a little bird, pounce into his arms, rubbing her beautiful face against his chest for a long time.

After a while, Yan Mei raised her head, smiled sweetly, and said, "Master, are you still mad at Mei?"

Xiao Zihan, holding Yan Mei's soft and plump body, sat at the edge of the bed, snorted and said, "Vixen, you've done something wrong, and you dare to bring it up? Aren't you afraid I'll discipline you?"

Yan Mei confidently replied, "Is it about Mei not being able to get out of bed for ten days? Mei said she's not afraid. Do you have any other tricks? But let's make it clear, yesterday Mei fell off the bed, and her buttocks still hurt. You're not allowed to spank her."

Xiao Zihan was immediately annoyed. He couldn't punish her in bed, nor could he spank her. If he couldn't pull down his pants to spank her buttocks, then wouldn't all his skills be unusable? No wonder Mei was so calm.

Hehe, but if it was just that, and Mei thought he couldn't do anything to her, then she was completely wrong. Xiao Zihan was an extraordinary figure; how could his skills be limited to this?

Xiao Zihan smiled slyly, starting to undress Yan Mei. Yan Mei slapped away his wandering hands, laughing, "Didn't you say you can't do this lately? Why are you trying to undress me? Aren't you afraid you can't control yourself and ruin the hard-earned energy?"

Xiao Zihan burst into laughter and confidently said, "My self-control has always been firm and unyielding, unbreakable. Mei, don't worry about it. You should worry about yourself. People must be punished for doing wrong."

So, Yan Mei's resistance became futile. Even with Xiao He coming to help, it was of no avail. In a short time, the upper bodies of the two women were completely exposed, with nothing covering their snow-white bodies.

Xiao Zihan laughed heartily, and his big hands first pushed away Yan Mei's arms covering her chest. Amidst Yan Mei's shy and coquettish resistance, his hands directly grabbed her proudly standing twin peaks.

Just when they thought Xiao Zihan was using the usual tricks, he had already started working. The "Soft Qi Transformation Spiral" on his left hand rapidly surged out, the unique spiral Qi hit Yan Mei's exceptionally soft and full body, causing her to feel numb and soft, unable to resist moaning. On the other hand, the "Primordial Dao Infinite" Qi on his right hand was like an all-powerful heavy hammer, one after another, striking the sensation of her body. It made her entire body blossom with a rose-like brilliant red, ecstatic and joyful as if in a fairyland. Such a simultaneous attack made the pleasure generated within Yan Mei's body no less than that of joining with Xiao Zihan. It was truly extraordinary.

When Xiao Zihan finished his move, Yan Mei surprisingly forced herself to prop up her already limp body, forcefully hugging Xiao Zihan's tiger waist, tears of joy streaming down her face. This wasn't punishing her; it was actually giving her satisfaction in a unique way. Xiao Zihan repeatedly claimed he would punish her, yet he couldn't help but think of ways to make her happy, devising this laborious method to alleviate her "suffering from lovesickness." How could Mei not be in love with Xiao Zihan?

Xiao He watched beside, feeling bewildered. Sister Mei first yelled for no reason, then hugged Big Brother Han's sturdy body and cried bitterly. What on earth was happening? Xiao He complained, "Hey, which one of you is going to explain to me what happened?"

Xiao Zihan and Yan Mei both glanced at each other and shifted their gazes. Yan Mei gently wiped away the tears on her cheeks, broke into laughter, and said, "Master, Xiao He doesn't know the taste yet. Go try it with her once; this girl can't endure it any longer. Hehe."

Xiao Zihan proceeded to do the same, pressing his hands on Xiao He's full twin peaks. First, he gave them a vigorous massage. After eliciting a strange cry from Xiao He, he activated the "Soft Qi Transformation Spiral" and "Primordial Dao Infinite" Qi simultaneously. Under the impact of these two completely different Qi, Xiao He fared even worse than Yan Mei. From head to toe, she kept moaning, her snowy body wriggling incessantly, until she nearly passed out. Xiao Zihan burst into laughter, and when Xiao He tried to crawl into Yan Mei's arms after being pushed away, he playfully licked Xiao He's cherry-like bosom. This tired Yan Mei's tender body once again trembled lightly, and she chuckled while pushing Xiao He's little head away, not daring to let her nestle into her bosom again.

Xiao Zihan gently helped the two women put on their clothes. Embracing the two warm bodies, he sat for a while before slowly saying to Yan Mei, "Mei, I've found your parents."
