Xiao Feng didn't think much and directly pushed the question to Du Qingyue: "It's up to you."

"Why is it up to me?" Du Qingyue was a bit annoyed: "You're a grown man, can't you have your own opinion?"

Xiao Feng fell silent. He hadn't really considered this question before. Initially marrying Du Qingyue was purely to spite Shen Tianze, but gradually he realized that this proud goddess's heart wasn't as unbreakable as her exterior!

As he got to know her, Xiao Feng felt that Du Qingyue was a rare good girl. When the Du Family oppressed her, he stood up without hesitation to protect her. Thinking about it, this wasn't really based on their superficial marriage relationship.

Rather, Xiao Feng seemed to want to protect her from the bottom of his heart, as if he had long regarded her as his own woman.

After thinking for a long time, Xiao Feng said in a deep voice: "I think we should continue as we are. However, I must tell you, anyone who stays close to me from now on may encounter danger, and you are naturally at the forefront. Similar explosion attacks are likely to happen again. I can only do my best to minimize the danger but cannot guarantee absolute safety."

Du Qingyue smiled slightly: "I said on the rooftop that day, if you can stand up and protect me, I can stand with you and face the difficulties. Since that's the case, let me ask you a question... why haven't you chosen to end our marriage?"

As she asked this question, Du Qingyue's cheeks burned, and her heart pounded like a drumbeat, but she looked straight into Xiao Feng's eyes, unflinching!

Xiao Feng thought it over and smiled: "Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"

"Just say what you want, I can tell the difference between true and false," Du Qingyue said expressionlessly, silently grumbling inside, is it that hard for this guy to honestly answer a question?

Xiao Feng mused for a moment and said: "Before we got married, I didn't have any assets, just a few dozen bucks in my bank account, so a divorce would really benefit me. At least I could get a lot of money, but now it's different."

"How is it different?" Du Qingyue frowned slightly.

Xiao Feng glanced at her: "You might not believe it, but now I'm worth billions. These several billions are the money I earned after getting married, so they count as joint property. If you want a divorce, you'd have to wait until I transfer the assets first."

"..." Du Qingyue remained silent for a while, then suddenly laughed: "How about we just divorce then?"

To Du Qingyue, Xiao Feng's words were half true and half false. It's likely true Xiao Feng is worth billions. Though it sounds a bit far-fetched, for some reason, Du Qingyue chose to believe it.

But transferring assets is just a joke. Who announces they are transferring assets before they actually do?

Xiao Feng firmly refused: "Divorce is not going to happen, even if I transfer the money out... No, even if I do, I still won't divorce."

"Why?" Du Qingyue blinked her big eyes, curious.

"Is that a question to ask?" Xiao Feng suddenly approached Du Qingyue, their faces almost touching, no more than five centimeters apart.

Their eyes met, and they could even feel each other's breath, everything seeming so real, yet so dreamlike.

After a long time, Xiao Feng deeply kissed Du Qingyue's forehead and whispered softly in her ear: "I'm sorry for the hardship you've endured!"

This apology immediately made Du Qingyue's nose tingle, her eyes welling up with tears. Xiao Feng gently hugged her, comforting her: "Take good care of your injuries, when you're healed..."

As he said this, Xiao Feng paused and didn't finish the sentence.

Du Qingyue gritted her teeth; speaking halfway is deliberately trying to irritate me, isn't it?

The stronger she is, the more annoyed she feels. Du Qingyue rolled her eyes and inhaled sharply: "Hiss..."

Xiao Feng asked with concern, "What's wrong? Are you uncomfortable somewhere?"

"No, nothing." Du Qingyue pretended to be in great pain: "What were you going to do after I recovered?"

Xiao Feng, being who he is, immediately understood what was going on. A mischievous smile appeared on his face: "Do you really want to know? Fine, I'll tell you right now."

As he spoke, he reached a hand under Du Qingyue's quilt.

Du Qingyue panicked, instinctively wanting to move away, but as soon as she moved, she felt pain all over. She gritted her teeth, trying her best not to make a sound, afraid Xiao Feng might worry for her.

But to her surprise, Xiao Feng, once his hand was under the quilt, only placed it on her waist without further movement.

Xiao Feng sat by the bedside and said, somewhat tired, "Can I nap for a while?"

Du Qingyue blushed and nodded, allowing Xiao Feng to lie down beside her, her heart uncontrollably pounding.

Xiao Feng held Du Qingyue, nuzzling against her fair neck like a cat, soon letting out a gentle snore, his breathing becoming steady.

Du Qingyue looked at Xiao Feng, who quickly drifted into dreamland, and couldn't help but think he must be truly exhausted.

For some reason, at this moment, Du Qingyue felt no fear regarding the danger Xiao Feng mentioned, as long as he was by her side, she feared nothing!

Because she understood, no matter how fierce the storm, they could eventually make it through together.

"Thank you for appearing in my world!" Du Qingyue whispered, snuggling closer to Xiao Feng, then closed her eyes, feeling unprecedented peace.

When she reopened her eyes, the room was dark, but Du Qingyue noticed that Xiao Feng was no longer by her side.

Did he leave without saying a word because he didn't want to wake me?

Just as she was thinking this, a familiar voice spoke up: "You're finally awake?"

Du Qingyue was startled, turning her head to find Xiao Feng standing by the bed, smiling at her, the moonlight on his profile adding to his charm, giving him the air of a prince under the moon.

"Why didn't you turn on the light?" Du Qingyue complained.

"I was afraid you'd rest poorly," Xiao Feng chuckled.

Just then, Xiao Feng's phone rang, the upbeat melody echoing in the room: "Sister, you're on the boat, brother's on the shore, loving each other..."

Du Qingyue couldn't help but smile wryly; this ringtone really ruined the mood.

But she stayed silent, only asking Xiao Feng who it was after he finished the call.

Xiao Feng didn't beat around the bush: "Someone named Chang Xinyan wants to invite me to dinner."

Du Qingyue frowned slightly; in her eyes, Chang Xinyan and Shen Tianze were in the same league.

"This person is the leader of the younger generation of the Chang Family. Previously, the Chang Family and the Shen Group were the two giants in Jiangcheng. Now that the Shen Group has fallen, they probably fear you taking action against the Chang Family." Du Qingyue analyzed calmly.

Xiao Feng nodded, indicating he understood. He knew long ago that Chang Xinyan was involved in the ten-billion-dollar bet. Seeing Shen Tianze fall, it was normal for him to feel unsettled.

However, Xiao Feng believed that Chang Xinyan was smarter than Shen Tianze, which could be seen from how he warned Wang Lubo earlier.

"Are you going?" Du Qingyue asked.

Xiao Feng answered without hesitation: "Of course, it'd be a waste not to go. Maybe I could even make some money."

Du Qingyue was amused: "You already have billions and still care about little money?"

"That's not how it works." Xiao Feng said seriously, "Flies, no matter how small, are still meat. Making money is making money. Other people's wives are riding in luxury cars and wearing designer brands. If you dress too poorly, it would embarrass me when we go out, wouldn't it?"

Xiao Feng continued without a pause: "So here's the problem, how do we buy luxury cars and designer brands? Isn't it all with money?"

"Alright, alright, you're right, happy now?" Du Qingyue rolled her eyes, but her heart felt sweet.

"Close your eyes." Xiao Feng reached for the ceiling light switch, looking at Du Qingyue.

Du Qingyue was stunned, not expecting gentle Xiao Feng to be so sweet, worrying the light might hurt her eyes and making sure she closed them before turning it on.

At this moment, the ice in Du Qingyue's heart melted away, turning into a warm current flowing within.

Du Qingyue closed her eyes and, after hearing a "click," opened them after adjusting to the brightness. She saw Xiao Feng holding two bank cards, placing one by her pillow.
