“Third Brother, what is this? How is it called again… Promising oneself in marriage.” Liu Kun began to tease.

His words eased Nie Zhenbang’s embarrassment. Li Lixue also helped her younger brother up and carefully dusted him off. Meanwhile, she took out a new set of clothes from the car. She said to Li Chunshan, “Chunshan, I’ve been a burden to our family and to you all these years. Even our father is gone. But from today on, everything is in the past now. The man who killed our father has met his retribution. Chunshan, from now on, let’s start a new life. Change into this set of clothes. Let’s say goodbye to our past hardships forever.”

At this moment, Nie Zhenbang could see that as Xu Tianci was executed and as Li Chunshan was released from prison, even Li Lixue’s attitude seemed brighter. The woman who rarely showed any emotions managed to joke around now.

The group got straight into the car and left Desert Prison. Three hours later, the car arrived in the provincial city of Caoyuan Province and stopped right in front of the Prairie Hotel.

At this moment, Li Chunshan, who had changed into a new set of clothes, was particularly noticeable. These two sisters, they were really something. The woman was beautiful and the man was handsome. They were quite a pair of beauties and hotties.

The suite on the top floor of the Prairie Hotel. Here, it was temporarily rented out by Liang Ligui. As a newcomer to the power circle in Caoyuan Province, the governor’s son, Liang Ligui, certainly had the clout and resources.

Currently, Nie Zhenbang sat in the main seat on the sofa in the suite, while Tiger was resting by the door. Long had also gone over to the window.

Seeing all this, Li Chunshan felt like a country bumpkin who had ventured into the city. At this moment, Zhou Ye also stood up and took out two stacks of hundred-yuan bills from his bag, placed them on the table and then looked at Li Chunshan, saying, “Brother Chunshan, I am from Hulun City. Your case has been thoroughly investigated by the Hulun City Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government. You were completely framed by Xu Tianci, which led to your unjust imprisonment. On behalf of the Hulun City Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, I apologize for your experience. This money may not be much, but it shows our sincerity. Please accept it.”

This was a roundabout tactic played by Zhou Taiping, the newly appointed

Secretary of the Hulun City Municipal Committee. Instead of having the Hulun City Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government come forward, he let his own son, Zhou Ye, do it. Although they repeatedly said it was on behalf of the Hulun City Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, everyone knew it was merely a formality.

Moreover, twenty thousand yuan wasn’t a huge amount. Of course, for the common people of this era, especially those in the Inland, it was a significant sum. In an era where ten-thousand-yuan households were still rare, a compensation of twenty thousand by the government was already quite a lot.

If there were any changes in the situation, Hulun City and Zhou Taiping could completely dodge any responsibility. After all, it was just twenty thousand yuan, Zhou Taiping could afford this expenditure with any excuse.

Although Nie Zhenbang understood Zhou Taiping’s intentions, he didn’t plan to expose them. In everything, one should leave some leeway for future encounters. This time, he had already caused quite a stir in Caoyuan Province. He had removed the Secretary of a prefecture-level city, brought down a county-level city’s Secretary, along with his team. Caoyuan Province didn’t comment. If he kept pressing on this matter, it would be excessive.

Then, Nie Zhenbang also laughed and said, “Chunshan, this is a token of sincerity from Secretary Zhou and the Hulun City Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, a compensation for your years in prison. You should take it. If Third Brother tells you to accept it, don’t hesitate. Later, I will have someone drive you home first to see your mom and your grandma. Once the family matters are settled, you can go to Manzhouli and wait for your sister at the Golden Platform Hotel. From then on, stay with your sister and protect her. Now, your sister is working for me. Protecting her means you are also working for me.”

Li Chunshan was a simple-minded person, but he was not stupid. He was just straightforward and upright. Hearing Nie Zhenbang’s words, Li Chunshan nodded, then stood up and said, “Sure! I will do whatever Third Brother says.

I’ll listen to Third Brother. I’ll go first then, Sister, take care of yourself.”

That boy, he was really naive. He left in such a hurry. At this moment, Liang Ligui also started laughing, “Young Master Nie, don’t be in a rush to leave this time. Stay a few more days here. Allow me to treat you well.”

After the Liang family had become aligned with the Nie family, this time, Liang Ligui’s words were much more relaxed than before. At this moment, he even enthusiastically asked them to stay.

Nie Zhenbang also laughed and said, “Ligui, you are too polite. The overwhelming hospitality is hard to refuse. So be it. I will stay today and return to Jingcheng tomorrow.”

In a large private room on the second floor of the Prairie Hotel, Liang Ligui had ordered a table full of Manchu Han Imperial Feast dishes. Roast flower duck, roast gosling the entire menu from the comic dialogue was served. The liquor consumed was vodka from the Soviet Union. This strong liquor had quite a market in Caoyuan Province.

At the end of the meal, Nie Zhenbang was surprised to find out that Zhou Ye, among this group of people, had an astonishing capacity for alcohol. Including Dragon and Tiger, the seven people there had consumed a total of fourteen bottles of vodka.

On returning to his suite, Nie Zhenbang was somewhat dizzy. Dragon and Tiger were already resting next door. But at this moment, there was a sudden knock at the door.

As Nie Zhenbanz opened the door, he saw Li Lixue standing at the doorwav.

She was dressed in a purple chiffon nightgown with black lace edging peeking from underneath.

Li Lixue’s face was flushed. Under the dim light, she looked somewhat beguiling. Her perfectly proportioned figure radiating an irresistibly tempting aura.

Looking at Nie Zhenbang, Li Lixue seemed a little shy. As they stared at each other and after a brief silence, Li Lixue softly said, “Zhenbang, without you, I might not have avenged in this lifetime. My younger brother could have ruined his entire life. Zhenbang, I know your background is impressive. You are an extraordinary person. I’m of low status and not a match for you. But this is the only way I could think of to show my gratitude.”

As she spoke, Li Lixue took the initiative to embrace him. Her arm, white as lotus root, wound tightly around Nie Zhenbang’s neck, while her breath was as fragrant as an orchid. With her delicate fragrance, she provoked Nie Zhenbang’s male pheromones.

In his past and current life, Nie Zhenbang had matured to the point that even his physiology at the age of seventeen had matured where it needed to. At this moment, Nie Zhenbang couldn’t help but react. Li Lixue’s lightly clad body made her acutely aware of it. She blushed even deeper, and then murmured, “Zhenbang, be gentle. It’s my first time.”

At this, Nie Zhenbang was completely stunned. After some waited in vain for Nie Zhenbang’s response, Li Lixue looked up at him in surprise. Seeing Nie

Zhenbang’s stunned expression, Li Lixue took the initiative and kissed him.

At this moment, Nie Zhenbang came to his senses. Immediately, Nie Zhenbang struggled to stand up, pushed Li Lixue away, and went to sit down on the edge of the bed. Looking at Li Lixue’s puzzled expression, he said, “Li Xue, no, we can’t. This isn’t fair to you. You know I can’t marry you. There is no future between us. Moreover, I don’t love you. I only admire you. You are merely grateful to me. We are not suitable for each other at this moment.”

With tears in her eyes, Li Lixue looked at Nie Zhenbang and murmured, “No, Zhenbang, you are wrong. In fact, from the moment I saw you again, I found myself falling in love with you. I love you so deeply and so indelibly that I can’t extricate myself. I don’t care about the outcome. I care only about the present.”

However, Nie Zhenbang had now completely regained his composure. Being an illegitimate child himself, he had always been very strict about such matters. Looking at Li Lixue – a remarkable and rare good woman – he knew that there was no future for them. He then softly said to her, “Li Xue, listen to me. I’m no Liuxiahui, but nor do I wish to be a Chen Shimei. I don’t want to touch you until I’ve figured out how to arrange your future.. Do you understand what I mean?”
