My beautiful CEO wife-Chapter 1621: Hades’s Expectation

"It’s chilly at night, hurry inside and rest. Your injuries have just healed, don’t catch a cold." After a little while, Yuan Ying gestured to Xiao Zheng.

Xiao Zheng smiled at her and said slowly, "You go inside and rest first, a young girl shouldn’t be harmed by the night wind and cold, otherwise I’d feel terribly guilty. I’m just a rough man, staying out a bit longer at night doesn’t matter.

I want to be alone for a while and see if I can remember things about the past."

Yuan Ying nodded, telling him to go inside and rest early, then she left.

Xiao Zheng looked up at the starry sky, letting out a long sigh, his gaze somewhat confused. He sat here alone, stretching out his right hand to hold it tightly, then relax.

He could feel an incredibly immense power within his body!

If this power were to erupt, it could instantly demolish everything. Who was he before, to possess such formidable strength?

As Xiao Zheng pondered his body, inside the nearby house, Grandpa was not sleeping, but watching Xiao Zheng.

While treating Xiao Zheng, he could already feel the power inside Xiao Zheng, though Little Haozi and Yuan Ying were unaware, he felt it clearly.

Such power he’d never seen before, nor felt in anyone; even the strongest person he had met seemed as weak as a baby compared to Xiao Zheng!

It’s hard to imagine what kind of a person Xiao Zheng used to be, to be so powerful, this power startled him!

Having saved Xiao Zheng, he was somewhat worried about inviting calamity, but after days together, he felt Xiao Zheng was not that kind of person, Grandpa finally sighed.

"If it’s fortune, it’s not disaster; if it’s disaster, it can’t be avoided. Whether it brings calamity is yet unknown, I’m just an ordinary person helping a patient, nothing else matters. Now that he lives in my home, he’s part of my family."

Grandpa inexplicably thought of the past, when Yuan Hao and Yuan Ying were little, taking care of the two kids alone, those days were just like now.

...

During his time here, Xiao Zheng learned a lot about herbal knowledge from Yuan Ying and Yuan Hao, progressing incredibly fast, even surprising Grandpa Yuan.

"Little Haozi, look at him, then look at yourself. He remembers nothing, yet learns faster than you. You’re lazy every day, can’t even match half of him." Grandpa scolded.

"Hehe." Hearing the praise, Xiao Zheng merely touched his head and chuckled foolishly.

On the other side, Yuan Hao hung his head dawdling, muttering, "That Xiao Zheng is a monster, how can he memorize so much herbal knowledge so fast? I see those things every day and just want to sleep."

"Lazy yet making excuses, look at Xiao Zheng, so smart, then at yourself, still not improving. You’re punished not to eat tonight." Grandpa pretended to be angry.

The little boy’s expression changed urgently, quickly tugging at Grandpa’s clothes, "Oh no, Grandpa, you know I’m growing right now, can’t miss meals. As the saying goes, people need iron, meals are steel, miss one, you’re hungry.

If you don’t feed me, I’d become a little shorty."

Hearing the boy’s playful words, Xiao Zheng laughed heartily, and even Yuan Ying smiled, with a doting expression.

At the table, Yuan Hao gobbled down food, afraid Grandpa wouldn’t feed him, while Xiao Zheng ate voraciously, like wolves competing in a feast. Grandpa tapped his plate slowly and said, "Are you two not letting us eat at all."

The mute girl almost spat out her food, covering her mouth to giggle softly, gesturing to the little boy, which made him unhappy.

The gesture meant, in herbal knowledge you can’t beat Xiao Zheng, now not even in eating, you’re really nowhere near him.

Grandpa saw the gesture and laughed.

"Who knew Xiao Zheng could eat so much? I used to be the biggest eater in the family, and now he eats more, how could his family afford him?" The little boy said sullenly.

Unknowingly, half a month passed quietly, Xiao Zheng and the Yuan Family grew closer, especially Yuan Ying, who often took Xiao Zheng out to play, frolicking by the little rivers she frequented, at night snuggling watching stars with him,

this made Yuan Hao complain, saying since Xiao Zheng arrived, his sister wouldn’t play with him.

Xiao Zheng possessed great strength, some logs that three strong men couldn’t lift he could with one hand, such god-like power made Yuan Hao marvel.

Xiao Zheng proactively helped Yuan Ying with chores, grabbing dirty work, easing Yuan Ying’s burden.

Yuan Hao applauded too, for he could laze around, yet hadn’t slipped away before Grandpa caught him back, placing him before the herbal classic.

"Xiao Zheng helps with work, you should study well, lest in the end you’re inferior in every way, weaker, less smart, useless." Grandpa said angrily.

Xiao Zheng and Yuan Ying smiled, watching the frustrated Yuan Hao flipping through books.

As Xiao Zheng, Yuan Hao, and Yuan Ying played, within the Blood Clan castle, Netherworld King Hades sat in the hall, alone without attendants, sitting silently.

She stretched a hand, gripping tightly, wondering if that man was truly dead?

Back then, relying on her late-stage Martial Saint cultivation, she dragged the half-step Supreme Realm Wolf King to the brink of exhaustion, otherwise, she wouldn’t have easily defeated Wolf King.

Evil God Xiao Zheng left the deepest impression on her in this life, the man she favored couldn’t possibly die so easily, and she mobilized the Blood Clan’s entire force, yet failed to find Xiao Zheng’s body beneath the cliff.

This meant the possibility of Xiao Zheng being alive, as long as there’s no body, there’s hope!

"Awaiting your return one day!"

Hades clenched a hand, surveying silently.

She firmly believed Evil God Xiao Zheng hadn’t died, despite lacking evidence, the feeling remained vividly strong.
