Dragon King's Son-In-Law

Little White stretched its legs, digging against Hao Ren's chest, and its furry body rubbed against Xie Yujia's face.

"Little White, why are you here?" Xie Yujia was surprised when she saw Little White, and her blush slowly vanished when she saw it.

Although her heart was still pounding hard, she tried to act calm in front of Little White.

Little White chirped and looked at them with watery eyes.

Zhen Congming was staying at Wu Luoxue's place, so he didn't even bother with Little White.

Little White missed Hao Ren, so it followed their plane to New York. Then, it used the faint connection it had with Hao Ren to track him down.

Hao Ren and Xie Yujia had been wandering the city for the whole day. They had taken taxis, subways, and buses, running around the city.

Little White had searched for them around this big city.

Finally, Hao Ren and Xie Yujia stopped at Columbia University to take a rest, allowing Little White to catch up.

There was a telepathic bond between Little White and Hao Ren since their relationship was spirit beast and owner, so Hao Ren suddenly pitied this little animal since he felt how much it had been through.

"OK, I won't leave you alone anymore. But you're the one to blame for being so close with Zhen Congming," Hao Ren said as he patted its head.

Little White looked up and smiled delightfully. Xie Yujia laughed when she saw its energetic figure, so she reached to rub its soft white fur.

She stood up and returned the book to the American students. Then, she went back to Hao Ren's side.

Just when she was going to reach for Little White, it ran toward the stone path across the grasses.

A pretty blonde girl bent down to play with it, and Little White lightly bit her finger and then jumped into her arms.

"Damn you, Little White…" Xie Yujia couldn't help but cuss.

"How shameless! It wouldn't even let go of pretty blondes…" Hao Ren thought. He just felt a bit sorry for Little White, but he now wanted to choke it to death.

...

It was almost dusk.

Although the nightlights in the heart of New York City were pretty, Xie Yujia wanted to go home and have dinner with her family.

They took the subway back to Brooklyn, and they went back just in time to enjoy the freshly cooked dumplings made by Xie Yujia's mom.

Little White was now 'locked up' in Hao Ren's necklace. Because Zhen Congming was on Little White's side before, Hao Ren didn't put it in his storage space.

However, he couldn't let it run around now, so he had to lock him up.

Since everyone was there for dinner, it had a great atmosphere. Xie Yujia looked happy and a bit more charming than before with her pink cheeks.

"Ren, why not stay here for the summer?" Xie Ming suddenly asked after a bite of dumpling.

Hao Ren looked up with a surprised look, and Xie Yujia looked at Hao Ren with anticipation.

"That would be good. I'll stay here for two more days, but Ren can stay here. I'm sure his visa allows him to stay here," Hao Zhonghua said.

"That's not a problem! Staying for the summer is not a problem at all," Xie Ming said as he patted his chest.

"Yeah. I like Ren. Stay for the summer with Yujia," Xie Yujia's mom, Cheng Qian, said with a smile.

Hao Ren and Xie Yujia were childhood sweethearts, and the two families were very close as well.

Xie Ming asked Hao Ren to stay with them not only because they wanted to match Xie Yujia and Hao Ren up; it was also because they wanted to thank Hao Ren for taking care of Xie Yujia at East Ocean City.

Of course, Xie Yujia and Hao Ren were a perfect match after taking both family background and age into consideration.

If they wanted to date each other, Xie Ming and Cheng Qian would never object to it. Instead, they would support and encourage them to be together.

They had been in the U.S. for a while now, and they were more open. If Hao Ren and Xie Yujia were in a stable relationship and wanted to live together, it was fine by them. Moreover, they thought Hao Ren was a good kid.

"If Ren doesn't want to stay here for two months, we'll give you some money! You guys could go to Niagara Falls, Disneyland, the Grand Canyon, San Francisco, Mead Lake, Hollywood… We'd pay for all your expenses! If you want to go to Canada for a few days, we'll organize it for you as well!" Xie Ming looked at Hao Ren and said with generosity.

"Ming, you said it yourself!" Zhao Zhonghua pointed at Hao Ren happily.

"I said it!" Xie Ming patted his chest again. "As long as you two want, I'll pay for everything!"

Xie Yujia originally just wanted to spend a peaceful summer with her parents. Now that her dad said this, she wanted to go a little bit.

"It's ok, Uncle. I'll pass this time." Hao Ren shook his head and smiled. "I'm not too familiar with the U.S."

"What's the matter? It's a good opportunity! Treat it as a trip!" Xie Ming tried to convince him.

"Dad!" Xie Yujia started talking, looking a bit embarrassed. "If Hao Ren doesn't want to go, you don't have to force him."

Hao Ren looked at her and felt a bit guilty.

If it were before, he would have stayed and played in the U.S. for the whole summer. However, he had promised to go through the special training with Zhao Kuo. Therefore, he couldn't stay at Xie Yujia's place.

"Hehe… Our Ren is a bit shy. He's too used to home." Hao Zhonghua tried to make the situation less awkward. Then, he glared at Hao Ren, not understanding why he didn't accept Xie Ming's invitation.

It would be beneficial for his English if he stayed in the U.S. for two months.

"Don't worry. Treat this as your home." Cheng Qian smiled and reached out to pat Hao Ren's firm shoulder.

There were usually multiple kids in an American family, and Xie Yujia's parents' neighbor had four kids.

Cheng Qian helped her husband with their business in the day and missed her daughter at night. Sometimes, she wished she had a son.

However, she couldn't have any more children at her age. That was why she liked Hao Ren and treated him as her godson.

Xie Ming and Zhao Zhonghua were men who were more careless, and they didn't think through a lot of stuff and weren't as delicate and thorough with many things. Cheng Qian was a woman and tended to pay attention to details.

She could tell that Hao Ren and Xie Yujia were a secret couple through things such as how they looked at each other, how they held hands when going up and down the stairs, and how they went out together. Cheng Qian knew her daughter well and knew she had a crush on this Little Older Brother.

The timing was perfect for the two to slowly progress into an official relationship. It was going to be beautiful.

"Mom, why are you staring at him?" Xie Yujia looked a bit discontent as she poked Cheng Qian with the back of her chopsticks.

"Hehe, hehe…" Cheng Qian giggled a bit. Hao Ren looked better and better in her eyes.

"What a dumb daughter of mine! She needs to hold tight to such a good guy. Obviously, Ren liked Xie Yujia," she thought.

Xie Yujia was pretty and kind, smart and considerate.

She hadn't even held a boy's hand before since this Little Older Brother was always on her mind. In a sense, she was extremely conservative.

There was no way Hao Ren didn't like such a good girl.

"Young people should be proactive!" Cheng Qian was shouting on the inside.

"Mom…" Xie Yujia murmured when she saw her mom staring at Hao Ren.

"Kids your age should go out and see the world. You guys could travel by yourselves and book your own hotels. Your dad and I won't interfere at all," Cheng Qian said to Xie Yujia.

Xie Yujia was clever, so she understood what her mom meant. Going out together for several weeks on their own, they would be in the same room all the time. It wouldn't be hard to guess what could happen then.

"Hehe…" Hao Zhonghua smiled and looked at Hao Ren. "Ren, why don't you reconsider?"

He liked Yujia. In his mind, if the two were to date each other, it would be a great thing.

With Hao Ren's personality, he would for sure treat Xie Yujia well given his character.

Xie Wanjun was also very attentive to this conversation.

He thought Hao Ren was a bit weak and unreliable before. However, now he knew that Hao Ren was honest and strong. In a way, he admired Hao Ren.

If Hao Ren stayed in the U.S. this summer, they could play a lot of basketball together.

"No. It's really fine. I'll just stay for a few days," Hao Ren said.

"Sigh…" Xie Ming sighed helplessly.

Cheng Qian also looked disappointed. She didn't understand what Hao Ren was thinking. She knew he liked Xie Yujia, so she couldn't understand why he wouldn't stay.

It seemed like Xie Wanjun was a bit disappointed as well. He was hoping that Hao Ren who he became appreciated could really become his cousin's boyfriend and husband.

"Mom, I'm full. I'm going up to rest. I'm tired today." Xie Yujia put down her chopsticks and smiled. Then, she walked straight upstairs.

Hao Ren was very observative and saw that her eyes were a bit red.

"I'm full too!" Hao Ren followed her up the stairs.

Xie Ming watched them leave and smiled powerlessly. "Just let them figure it out," he said.

"If Hao Ren hurts Yujia in the future, I'll break his leg!" Hao Zhonghua made a promise to Xie Ming.

He and Xie Ming were best friends for tens of years. He liked Yujia from the bottom of his heart because she was kind and considerate. If Hao Ren were to break her heart or play with her feelings, Hao Zhonghua would not spare his son!

Not only would he give Hao Ren a lesson, but Grandma also would!

"It's all right. Let the kids figure it out themselves." Xie Ming opened his hands and shook his head.

From Xie Ming's perspective, even if Xie Yujia and Hao Ren's relationship didn't work out, it shouldn't destroy his friendship with Hao Zhonghua.

With Yujia's appearance, temperament, and his own relationships, Xie Ming felt like he could easily find a good guy to protect her!

In Hao Ren's mind, he wanted to hurry up and improve his own strength! This was a time when the strong devoured the weak. If he were weak, he wouldn't be able to protect the ones he loved!

Since there was one Black Wolf, there would be thousands who were like him.
