BTTH: Bearing Children to get Reward, I'll Create the Strongest Family

"Brother Chen Feng, if Nalan Yanran looks down on Xiao Yan and wants to break off the engagement, is she afraid of facing the backlash herself? Could it be that she's using you to take the blame on her behalf?" Ya Fei's beautiful eyes sparkled with indignation as she spoke, her tone tinged with frustration.

In her opinion, Chenfeng was extremely talented, of noble birth, had unlimited future potential and was inherently flawless.

But this time Nalan Yanran sent him to the Xiao family to break off her engagement. If word got out, it would probably a stain on his reputation and people would gossip behind his back.

Therefore, she was very dissatisfied with Nalan Yanran.

After sharing her first night with Chenfeng, Ya Fei had already come to see him as her man. The thought that her man might be criticized or stigmatized in the future left her deeply unsettled. She couldn't help but feel a surge of protectiveness, unwilling to let anyone tarnish his reputation, especially when it was tied to another woman.

"Something happened to Yanran, so it's not convenient for her to travel for the time being." Chenfeng naturally would not tell Ya Fei that Nalan Yanran was pregnant.

"Hmph, what could be more important than breaking off the engagement? She clearly cherishes her own reputation and doesn't want to come in person."

Ya Fei naturally didn't believe it. She only thought that Chenfeng was protecting Nalan Yanran, and suddenly felt jealous.

"Brother Chenfeng, you defend Nalan Yanran like this, but why doesn't she thinks about you too?"

Seeing Ya Fei looking like she was indignant on his behalf, Chenfeng couldn't help but pinch her pretty face.

"Okay, isn't it just an engagement annulment? It's not as serious as you think. It's just a weak Xiao family in a remote city, no need to take tham so seriously."

If it weren't for Xiao Yan, the son of fate, Chenfeng would not have thought too much about the situation at all.

Chenfeng was not like Yun Yun, who constantly prioritized the reputation of the Misty Cloud Sect over personal matters. If Xiao Yan failed to recognize when to retreat, Chenfeng wouldn't hesitate to use underhanded methods to deal with him.

Even if Xiao Yan felt wronged or aggrieved, what could he do? In this world, strength ruled all, and complaints held no weight in the face of power.

"Well, that's true." Ya Fei nodded. The Xiao family is just a small family in Wu Tan City. Even the Miteer family can easily suppress the Xiao family. What's more, a behemoth like Misty Cloud Sect.

She pressed her bare boobs into Chenfeng's chest as she layed her head on his shoulder and asked, "Brother Chenfeng, are you planning to go directly to the Xiao family to break off the engagement?"

"No. Before coming to Wu Tan City this time, my teacher had already instructed me that the divorce should not be too public. After all, it is not a glorious matter." Chenfeng shook his head.

Since he didn't want to provoke the hatred of Xiao Yan, the son of the fate, he naturally couldn't just come to his house to break off the engagement like Nalan Yanran did in the original work.

That was too insulting and offending to Xiao Yan's pride as a man.

On the Dou Qi Continent, a broken engagement was a mark of disgrace for any man. If a woman canceled the engagement, it brought immense humiliation, branding him as unworthy in the eyes of society. Such a stigma would follow him for the rest of his life, leaving him unable to hold his head high or regain his dignity.

In the original work, Nalan Yanran also gave Xiao Yan a public humiliation, making him lose face in front of his entire family.

Even Xiao Yan's father lost face. Such a powerful slap was stinging.

Not to mention Xiao Yan, any man go mad at such an insult.

Chenfeng and Xiao Yan have no previous grievances, naturally, he does not want to attract the other humiliate him for no reason.

Therefore, he already thought on a course of action before coming to Wu Tan City. This time to break off the engagement, he should keep it as low-key as possible.

Trying his best not to let the word spread about the breakup. If he do this, no matter if it's Xiao Yan, Nalan Yanran or Chenfeng himself - there are benefits for everyone.

After all, breaking off the engagement is disgraceful. By keeping a low profile, he can attract less criticism and it will not damage the reputation of Misty Cloud Sect.

"Then brother Chenfeng, what are you going to do?" Ya Fei asked curiously, her finger drawing circles on Chenfeng chest.

In her opinion, Chenfeng, being an inner sect disciple of the Misty Cloud Sect, coming to Wutan City in person to break off the engagement. Even if he want to keep a low profile, it will be difficult to do so.

"You have been in Wu Tan City for three years now, you should be somewhat familiar with the Xiao family, right?" After hearing her question, Chenfeng suddenly looked at Ya Fei in his arms and said with a smile.

"It is true that we had many dealings in the last few years. What of it? Do you need my help to step in and break off the engagement for you?"

The Xiao family is one of the three major families in Wu Tan City. As the person in charge of the Miteer Auction House, Ya Fei naturally have had many dealings with the head of the Xiao family.

"I really do need your help, but you don't need to take action directly." Chenfeng nodded and said, "Sister Ya Fei, please send an invitation to the Xiao family, inviting the Xiao family head and his son to a banquet at the Miter Auction House."

"Remember, you must use your own name in the invitation, don't mention me at all," Chenfeng explained.

"Do you plan to meet with the Xiao family father and son alone to discuss breaking off the engagement?" Ya Fei asked, quickly catching on to Chenfeng's intentions as a look of understanding flashed in her eyes.

"Yes, if I went to the Xiao family in person, it would be too ostentatious. Even if I wanted to keep a low profile, I might not be able to do it." Chenfeng is an inner sect disciple of Misty Cloud Sect and a direct descendant of the Miteer family.

With his prominent identity, merely stepping into the humble Xiao family would attract immediate attention. Before he could even take a seat inside, news of his visit would inevitably leak, sparking an uproar that couldn't be contained.

When the time comes, he won't beable to hide the issue of breaking off the engagement even if he wanted to. In this case, it would go against Chenfeng original purpose.

"Brother Chenfeng, aren't you making a fuss out of a molehill? They are just a small Xiao family, why do you need to tread so carefully just to entertain them?"

Ya Fei frowned slightly, with some confusion in her eyes. She felt that Chenfeng toke the Xiao family too seriously.

"Sister Ya Fei, the reason why Yanran wants to renounce her engagement this time is more or less related to me. I am doing this as a way to express some good will on behalf of Yanran, at least so that Xiao Yan will not be too embarrassed." Chenfeng said this, but in his heart he knew the real reason.

If Xiao Yan, the son of this fate, didn't exist in the Xiao family, he would naturally not be so polite.

"Hmph, even without you, according to Nalan Yanran's temperament she would not like Xiao Yan, a useless person." Ya Fei snorted coldly as she had some understanding of Nalan Yanran's character.

She had been proud and self-assured since childhood, so how could she possibly fall in love with the Xiao family's well-known good-for-nothing, whose lack of talent was the talk of Wu Tan City?

"Sigh, brother Chenfeng, you are still too kind-hearted."Ya Fei looked at Chenfeng and felt pity for him to need to apologize on Nalan Yanran behalf.

Even if there was no Chenfeng, with Nalan Yanran's character she will still break off the marriage.

'Am I kind? Does this count as giving me a good guy card?' Hearing this, Chenfeng felt like laughing.

It seemed that his friendly attitude toward Xiao Yan had led Ya Fei to misunderstand his intentions.

However, a misunderstanding was just that—a misunderstanding. In the end, it didn't matter much. If he earned a "good guy" reputation out of it, so be it. It only added to his decent and upright image, and there was no harm in that.

He didn't want to explain anything, nor did he want to dwell on this topic.

"Really? Didn't someone said before that I was bad." Chenfeng pressed on Ya Fei's delicate body again, with an evil smile on his face.

"I want to do something evil again."

Ya Fei rolled her beautiful eyes at Chenfeng and immediately begged for mercy: "Good brother, my waist is really swollen, let's do it tonight."

After Ya Fei's pleading, Chenfeng let her go.

The two lingered in bed for a while, took a shower together, and didn't walk out of the room until evening.

When Ya Fei returned to the office at the auction house, she found her table piled with gifts.

"This is?"

Ya Fei opened some of them and found that these gifts were medicinal materials for nourishing the body, and she couldn't help but look puzzled.

"Miss Ya Fei, these are gifts from the guests who attended the auction today," the steward beside her explained respectfully. "They heard you were feeling unwell and specially prepared these to help restore your health."

"Miss Yafei, you are finally willing to show up. Did you completely forget about today's auction?" At this time, Gu Ni walked in and couldn't help but joke.

Hearing this, Yafei's delicate and pretty face immediately showed a blush. Naturally, she has not forgotten today's auction.

However, her condition this morning was that she could not even stand up, so she had no strength to host the auction.

"Supervisor Gu Ni, please send someone to deliver this invitation to the Xiao family." After a while, Ya Fei prepared an invitation and handed it to Gu Ni.
