Doomsday: I Can Get a Hint-Chapter 430 - 265: Cooperation (Part 2)

Wang Hao looked at him innocently and said very seriously:

"Lingxue and I are indeed attracted to each other, and Lingxue indeed doesn’t want to marry you."

"What?"

The smile on Xu Xiang’s face instantly disappeared. He sat up straight, looked at Wang Hao, and said in a deep voice:

"Brother Hao! Some jokes can be made, and some cannot. My marriage with Lingxue was decided by both our parents long ago.

This marriage cannot be changed."

"Decided? You haven’t been engaged, have you? And it seems like you haven’t even met, right?"

Wang Hao said calmly.

This....

Xu Xiang was momentarily dumbfounded. Wang Hao was right.

He and Chen Lingxue indeed were not engaged, and the face he saw was from a photo.

However, this matter was decided by the parents of both families, as a political alliance.

They had no choice but to passively accept it.

Chen Lingxue, whether in terms of looks or superpower, fits his standards perfectly.

The Phoenix superpower, if it can combine with his Cyan Dragon superpower, would undeniably greatly enhance their abilities.

The baby they have in the future would be extraordinary as well.

Feelings can be cultivated.

When it comes to marriage, suitability is what’s most important.

Xu Xiang remained silent for a long time, then looked at Wang Hao and said seriously:

"Brother Hao, public matters are public, private matters are private. The Corpse Poison Serum is critical for humanity’s survival; if needed, I, Xu Xiang, won’t refuse.

But as for Lingxue, I will not yield."

"That’s great, I think the same way. Public matters are public, private matters are private. A fair lady is something a gentleman pursues actively!

We can compete fairly, and in the end, whoever wins Lingxue’s heart, the other should not hold a grudge, okay?"

Wang Hao had a faint smile on his face.

He didn’t expect this Xu Xiang to be so clear-headed.

If he had acted recklessly, it would have been quite troublesome.

The Corpse Poison Serum is still very important, after all, it concerns the survival of all humanity.

Chen Guofu’s Office

"Master!"

The butler hurriedly ran over.

"What? Has Xu Xiang killed that brat Wang Hao?"

Chen Guofu said while working:

"If he’s killed, then he’s killed. It’s no big deal. I’ll handle the matter with Lingxue."

Butler: "Master, he didn’t kill him!"

"Hmm? Didn’t kill him? Lingxue even took that little brat.... took that little girl out to play. With such a good opportunity, he didn’t kill him?

This Xu Xiang is somewhat soft-hearted! But it also shows he gives me some face. Even if he just cripples him and throws him far away, it wouldn’t be too bad. This way, it wouldn’t make the relationship between him and Lingxue too awkward."

Chen Guofu said to himself.

"Master, he didn’t kill Wang Hao, nor did he hit him. The two of them chatted in the room for an hour, and then he just walked out.

The surveillance at the door caught it; Wang Hao was intact and even sent him away while smiling, and Young City Lord Xu also had a full smile on his face."

The butler finished explaining in one breath.

"What?"

Chen Guofu finally paused, looking at the butler in disbelief:

"Say that again?"

"Master, you didn’t hear wrong. Although it’s very unbelievable, it is indeed true."

The butler also felt quite helpless.

If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn’t have believed it either.

This is too bizarre.

Utterly incredible!

"This Wang Hao is quite interesting!"

A gleam of sharpness flashed in Chen Guofu’s eyes.

The fact that he was able to reach his earlier position before the apocalypse was no accident.

He had some understanding of Xu Xiang.

Originally a military officer, decisive and resolute, he held a significant position in the army, a true young talent.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have considered marrying Chen Lingxue to him.

Logically, with such a good opportunity, he should have killed Wang Hao directly.

However, not only did he not kill, he even appeared to be friends.

This proves that Wang Hao is not simple. Whatever method he used, if he could bluff Xu Xiang, then he truly is remarkable.

"Interesting, very interesting!"

Chen Guofu suddenly burst into laughter, suddenly not seeming as averse to Chen Lingxue being with Wang Hao:

"Don’t question a hero’s background. It’s the apocalypse now, everything is reset. I’ve been too narrow-minded. Let them do as they please!

I want to see just how capable this Wang Hao really is."

"And those people below..."

"Don’t bother with them. These people, clinging to their shares, pretending to be wise just because they’re old. They don’t realize that if not for Lingxue, if not for our family,

They would have long been devoured by monsters. Even if they were alive, they would be just bottom-tier trash.

If Wang Hao truly has some capability, then let him knock some sense into them, let them know who the real boss is in this sanctuary."

A sly smile briefly flashed across Chen Guofu’s lips, then he continued to bury himself in work.

The butler bowed deeply and then retreated.

The news spread quickly.

For a time, almost everyone was shocked beyond belief.

They all thought Xu Xiang would have slaughtered Wang Hao.

After all, this was done with Chen Lingxue’s tacit consent; she had taken Xiaoyueyue away before Xu Xiang arrived.

What’s going on?

Even Chen Lingxue, upon receiving the news, was utterly baffled.

How could they have gotten along so well?

Although she knew that Wang Hao had some strength, even if he were on par with Xu Xiang, they would still have had to fight!

How could it be possible that nothing happened, and Xu Xiang just left?

Moreover, they were both grinning, and Wang Hao even saw him out.

This is beyond bizarre.

Did they reach some kind of agreement?

Or did Wang Hao voluntarily kneel and admit fault, saying it was all just a joke?

Wang Hao doesn’t seem like the kind who would do such a thing!

Despite being smart and cunning as ice, even Chen Lingxue felt her head hurt.

"Sister Lingxue, didn’t I tell you? Don’t worry about my brother, my brother is quite remarkable."

Yueyue, licking her ice cream on the side, sweetly smiled at her.

"Yueyue, can you tell Sister what your brother’s abilities are?"

Chen Lingxue’s curiosity was driving her crazy.

"Yueyue doesn’t know what abilities my brother has either."

Xiaoyueyue shook her head.

Chen Lingxue: ...

She didn’t continue asking.

She felt Xiaoyueyue was helping Wang Hao keep secrets or, in other words, didn’t want to disclose too much of Wang Hao’s privacy.

This sort of thing is better said by the person himself; otherwise, it could cause resentment.

If she continued to press, that might also cause Xiaoyueyue to resent her.

However, the truth was, Xiaoyueyue truly didn’t know what superpowers Wang Hao had.

Shield? Lightning? Seal?

How could one person have so many superpowers?

"Wang Hao...."

Chen Lingxue’s eyes shimmered with thoughts.

She had quite the fondness for Wang Hao.

Moreover, Wang Hao held a life-saving grace for their entire Chen Family.

She, Chen Lingxue, was never someone who forgets kindness.

Previously, she had thought of keeping Wang Hao, letting him live safely for the rest of his life in the sanctuary. If the conditions allowed, she would even marry him; it wasn’t out of the question.

However, marrying Wang Hao required removing many, many obstacles.

Firstly, those uncles within the family would not agree.

Now that Wang Hao had pulled off this move, it proved he had some skills.

With that, many things would become easier, and if Wang Hao could handle everything, she was willing in her heart to marry him.

She would be able to work with Wang Hao to manage the sanctuary and then expand outward.

She believed that as time went by, there would be a day when she could surpass the First Settlement Camp.

It’s undeniable that Chen Lingxue had a strong sense of ambition and a share of great ambition.

The main reason she was so resistant to marrying Xu Xiang was that once she’s at the settlement camp, she couldn’t exercise her abilities.

At most, she could only be the woman behind Xu Xiang.

Maybe even be forced to stay home, tending to the house and children.

That was not what she wanted.

Even if the Xu Family was willing for her to be involved in decision-making, the top position would never be hers.

However, she didn’t know that Wang Hao also had his territory. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Ultimately, he would be leaving; he wouldn’t really join her sanctuary and stay with her to develop it.
