Return to the City: The Strongest King-Chapter 1750 - 1686: Opening Up (Quadruple Update)_5

It's truly difficult to find another person besides Song Xiaodong in Minghe who can receive such a warm reception from the mayor's wife.

"You and Little Yue..." Sitting by the coffee table, they set up the chessboard, and after just a few moves, Shen Dongyang casually remarked.

Song Xiaodong coughed lightly, saying, "Uncle Shen, I'm truly sorry, I still didn't manage to control myself and ended up being with Little Yue..."

Shen Dongyang's mouth twitched; as a father, hearing such news is always uncomfortable. However, Shen Dongyang was no ordinary person and said, "So what are your plans for Little Yue?"

Song Xiaodong gave a bitter smile, saying, "To be honest, right now I really can't give Shen Yue a title nor can I make our relationship public for the time being."

Shen Dongyang said, "It can't be publicized. Both of us are public figures; I wield power, you wield financial resources. At least in the eyes of outsiders, that's how it is. If you and Little Yue are together, others might suspect collusion between officials and businesses. Besides, Little Yue isn't your lawfully wedded wife, and this matter...it doesn't sit well with me."

Song Xiaodong said, "Indeed, I understand this well, so coming to see you today really makes me nervous."

Shen Dongyang glared at Song Xiaodong, and to his surprise, that glare was surprisingly confident, without any guilty feelings.

This feeling... is actually quite refreshing.

"I only have one daughter, and this really makes me feel she's being wronged. As a father, I still feel uncomfortable about it."

Song Xiaodong hurriedly said, "I completely understand, but I've already found a solution for Little Yue's status. I have another important identity, and if I use it, being with Little Yue won't be a problem at all. However, I can't tell you about this identity right now, Uncle Shen."

"Oh?" Shen Dongyang's eyes lit up suddenly, "Do you mean you have another identity that allows you to marry multiple wives?"

Song Xiaodong nodded.

"Foreign nationality?"

"It's not that... it's even more powerful." The identity of Dragon Gate Young Master isn't owned by any country, but in any country, it's still very prominent. Organizations like Dark Night Sect and Dragon Gate are special, and no country dares to easily offend them; they even want to establish connections.

So if Song Xiaodong were to marry multiple wives under this identity, every country would recognize it because Dragon Gate has surpassed national limits as a special sect.

Shen Dongyang said, "I really can't think of it, but since you said you can't tell me, I won't ask. I believe you won't lie to me." 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

"As long as Uncle Shen believes me, it's fine. Please, Uncle Shen, explain this to Auntie first. I fear if I say it directly, Auntie might kick me out." At this, Song Xiaodong felt quite awkward.

Shen Dongyang burst out laughing, saying, "You, Patriarch Song, are actually afraid of this. Our family's Dongxiang really is bold beyond measure."

"This is my future mother-in-law, a big deal. No matter how great I am, I'm nothing compared to my parents-in-law, right?"

Hearing this, Shen Dongyang felt quite pleased, saying, "Alright, then let's not mention this to her today. Sometimes your aunt is impulsive and indeed doesn't listen to reason."

Song Xiaodong breathed a sigh of relief, saying, "By the way, Little Yue is coming back soon."

"Oh? She actually agreed to come back with you?" Shen Dongyang looked at Song Xiaodong in surprise.

Song Xiaodong laughed, "She agreed, but it cost me ten billion to win her back."

"What's going on? What ten billion?" Sun Dongxiang happened to come out of the kitchen with something, and upon hearing Song Xiaodong's words, she asked curiously.

Shen Dongyang said, "Dongzi said he spent ten billion to bring Little Yue home."

"What?" Sun Dongxiang's eyes widened immediately.

Song Xiaodong quickly explained everything.

The expressions on Sun Dongxiang and Shen Dongyang's faces suddenly became quite fascinating.

"Dongzi, your investment is too large, ten billion, that's not okay...," Sun Dongxiang shook her head repeatedly. Ten billion was really a huge sum, so much so that even she, as a mayor's wife, was shocked.

Song Xiaodong smiled slightly, saying, "Auntie, you're overthinking it. For charity work, you need someone passionate about it, only then can it be done well. Otherwise, the money is easily embezzled. I also wanted to do some charity, but I hadn't found the right person. After observing, I think Shen Yue is the most suitable candidate."
