Chapter 317: Chapter 114: Bai Xi vs. Song Chi
Xu Xingguang lit the fireworks on the far left; with a fizz and a few seconds of flickering fuse, a dozen fireworks simultaneously soared towards the sky of Divine Concealment Island in the south.
Xu Xingguang bought the latest model of remote fireworks released by the fireworks company this year, with a maximum range of thirty kilometers.
The fireworks bloomed simultaneously in the sky between Divine Concealment Island and Xu Xingguang.
The blue and purple interlaced fireworks burst into rose-shaped patterns in the night sky. Counting them carefully, there are eleven in total.
Eleven roses represent eternity.
This act might seem clichéd, but it crudely and directly expresses Xu Xingguang’s love for Huo Wen’an. Because just this batch of fireworks cost her over two million.
If you love someone, lavish them with money.
Xu Xingguang firmly believes this won’t go wrong.
Seeing the vibrant fireworks blooming in the northern sky, the pallor on Huo Wen’an’s face from illness was tinted with a flush.
He greedily gazed at those fireworks, as if seeing Xu Xingguang.
The fireworks continued with wave after wave, shaking the sky non-stop, scaring the Old Helmsman of Huo Family, thinking another round of battle had begun.
The Old Helmsman hastily climbed out of bed, trembling to the window, gazing north.
When he saw not cannon fire but stunning fireworks exploding in the sky, he angrily cursed, "Which scoundrel dared to set off fireworks in the airspace of Divine Concealment Island!"
Meanwhile, all the residents on Divine Concealment Island were awakened. Staring at the distant fireworks, they felt crazy.
Which wealthy young master spent a fortune just to make a beauty smile?
Zheng Lie standing behind Huo Wen’an was filled with awe, looking at those extravagant fireworks.
Is this the spectacle created by the future Lady Captain?
The lady is indeed... impressively extravagant.
The fireworks lasted a full three minutes before ceasing. Only when confirming they had ended did Huo Wen’an reluctantly withdraw his gaze.
He lowered his eyes to the black gemstone ring on his middle finger, murmuring hoarsely, "When will you emit blue brilliance?"
When the Luo Fei Stone emits blue light is the day Xu Xingguang comes to his side.
He eagerly anticipates that day.
"Tch. These fireworks are expensive; setting them off for three minutes wouldn’t be possible without two to three million." Ye Mingluo sourly complained, "Giving someone 11 roses, that was outdated when I was in middle school. So tacky, such a disgrace; the master has no creativity at all."
Huo Wen’an faintly smiled and retorted Ye Mingluo, "Well, people like you who can’t even find someone willing to light fairy sticks for you wouldn’t understand this value."
Ye Mingluo laughed in anger, "Only when you die will your mouth spare people."
Zheng Lie eyed Ye Mingluo unkindly, reminding him, "Doctor Ye, watch your words."
Ye Mingluo snorted coldly, "Bootlicker."
Rubbing his goosebump-covered arms, Ye Mingluo turned and went down the mountain.
Huo Wen’an stared at the sky where the fireworks bloomed, touched the Luo Fei Stone proposal ring, and told Zheng Lie, "Remember, that is your Lady Captain."
Zheng Lie said, "I remember."
Noticing Huo Wen’an still looking at him, seemingly expecting more words, Zheng Lie pondered briefly and said, "There’s a saying, love someone, be willing to spend money on them. The lady set off fireworks for the Pilot, clearly not cheap, definitely spent a lot."
"Pilot, the lady’s feelings for you must be deep as the sea."
Huo Wen’an curled his lips, "Of course."
"You just said, love someone, must be willing to spend money on them?" Huo Wen’an focused on the point.
Zheng Lie nodded.
Inspired, Huo Wen’an decided from tomorrow to insist on giving gifts to Xu Xingguang every day.
He is not in West Continent City, can’t provide warmth to Xu Xingguang, but money can.

Early the next morning, Cheng Xizhou encountered Xu Xingguang in the hotel restaurant, surprised to see her alert as if she’d been up long ago. "Teacher Xu, what time did you return last night? Up so early and looking so energetic."
Last night, when Xu Xingguang left the hotel, it was nearly ten o’clock.
Cheng Xizhou hadn’t noticed what time she returned to her room.
"Just returned." Xu Xingguang slept for three hours on the way back, and was in good spirits now. Not seeing Cheng Xizhou’s sidekick Bai Xi, Xu Xingguang asked her, "Where’s your Bai Xi?"
Cheng Xizhou touched his nose, somewhat embarrassed, "She can’t handle her alcohol and got drunk last night, hasn’t woken up yet." Bai Xi is an assistant Cheng Xizhou found for himself, not through company contract, having more flexible working hours.
