My Wife is Unbeatable in the Whole World, Touch Me If You Dare!
Chapter 553 - 356: What People's Hearts Desire_3

She flew away in anger and annoyance. At this time, Anning took Jiaren's hand and said, "Let's go find the female physician for a recuperation too..."

Soon, only Li Nuo and Phoenix were left in the small pavilion at the center of the lake.

Yesterday they were still friends, but today their relationship was forcibly changed. Li Nuo was experiencing this for the first time, he looked at Phoenix with slight embarrassment, moved his lips and said, "I..."

Phoenix stepped forward, raised a finger, and said softly, "Shh, there's no need to say anything..."

The distance between them was so close that Li Nuo could feel the strong pressure coming from his chest.

Phoenix gently stood on tiptoe, and an ethereal fragrance wafted over.

A quarter-hour long deep kiss was enough to erase all awkwardness.

After a long time, they parted lips.

Phoenix held his hand and said, "I want to take you to the Jade Sound Pavilion to meet my sisters..."

Li Nuo nodded, and as the two walked out the gate of Li Mansion, Housekeeper Wu looked back, smiled, and said, "Young master, heading out..."

He widened his eyes at the woman beside Li Nuo, speechless for a long time.

After their figures disappeared, he looked at Huang opposite him and said, "That old guy is really amazing, he even foresaw this..."

In Chang'an, when Li Nuo and Phoenix walked hand in hand on the street, countless citizens greeted him proactively.

"Greetings, top scholar!"

"Hello, Lord Li!"

By amending the law, he greatly weakened the privileges of the nobles, increased the cost of crime, and using iron-handed measures, reformed the medical system, solving the people's difficulties of expensive and inaccessible healthcare in Chang'an. His reputation among the citizens was unparalleled for a time.

His father, Minister of Justice Li Xuanjing, had a mixed reputation among the citizens.

Though he executed many corrupt officials and nobles deserving death, many good people also perished at his hands.

Unlike his father, the top scholar himself has been unassailable since entering the official career.

After the two walked away, people started to whisper again.

"That lady beside the top scholar, is that the Phoenix girl from the Jade Sound Pavilion?"

"Wasn't it said they weren't in a romantic relationship?"

"They're even holding hands, how can they not be a couple?"

"Didn't someone refute the rumors earlier?"

"You believe that? Haha, I always knew that Phoenix girl would be the top scholar's wife, yet some didn't believe..."

...

Jade Sound Pavilion.

"Congratulations to Sister Phoenix for finding a good match."

"Congratulations to Brother-in-law, finally winning the beauty!"

"When can we have a drink at your wedding feast?"

"Brother-in-law must take good care of Sister Phoenix in the future..."

After greeting the girls at Jade Sound Pavilion, Phoenix needed to pack her things. Seeing that she wouldn't finish quickly, Li Nuo planned to go to the Secretariat first, and pick her up at noon to return together.

At the window on the second floor of Jade Sound Pavilion, an old woman watched Li Nuo's figure disappear, then turned to Phoenix with a slight smile on her old face.

She gave Phoenix a month.

But she only used two days.

Looking at Phoenix, she exclaimed, "Just as expected from you..."

Phoenix gave her a faint glance and said, "For Daqi, I even gave myself, didn't you all think of showing some gratitude?"

For the sake of the mission, secret agents like them were supposed to sacrifice greatly.

But seeing her complete the task perfectly, the old woman didn't argue with her, and asked, "What do you want?"

Phoenix said indifferently, "I want to manage the Green Bird Society of Daxia."

The old woman raised her eyebrows; the Green Bird Society is Daqi's highest intelligence agency. With Phoenix's rank, even a branch is impossible for her to manage.

She herself had no power to agree to her request.

She thought for a while and said, "Considering the great contributions you made this time, I will pass your request to the upper level..."
