Seeing the figure approaching, Xu Qianghua gave her a soft smile while his hand gently patted her head. He asked Liu Anwei, "Why are you ladies here?"
"We got the news about the Zerg invasion and came to check if the plan is in motion," Liu Anwei said, rocking her body slightly back and forth.
"And from what I heard, the meeting is scheduled in a few days, correct?" Bai Lingyun added, taking out another chair from her space ring and placing it beside Xu Qianghua's.
"That's right," Xu Qianghua confirmed, a thoughtful expression on his face. "But don't worry. The plan is already set, and everything is going as planned."
"That's good," Liu Anwei murmured, resting her head comfortably against his chest.
Bai Lingyun nodded, a faint smile on her face. "How are the preparations going?"
"Everything is going smoothly," Xu Qianghua replied, his hands still gently stroking her hair. "The top families have been notified, and the meeting will be held at the Xu family branch office in Jingzhong City."
"Does this include the Monster Clan?" Liu Anwei asked curiously.
"Yes. It seems the Matriarchs of the Fox and Snake clans have recently come out of seclusion. We'll be meeting them soon," Xu Qianghua explained, his hand continuing its soothing movements. "From the looks of it, they'll arrive in a few days, which is why the meeting is being held so quickly."
He paused before adding, "I want to introduce them to the world because it's necessary to bring the Monster Clan onto the main stage. They've been isolated for too long, and if we want the whole world to work together, we can't afford that anymore."
"I see," Liu Anwei said softly, her breathing steady as she relaxed further.
"The families will be surprised when they find out," Bai Lingyun commented, her gaze shifting to the holograms in the room.
"No kidding." Liu Anwei giggled, her shoulders shaking slightly. "Imagine the look on their faces when they see the matriarchs. They'll probably pass out."
"Well, we can't have that," Xu Qianghua said with a smirk, though the image of that scenario played in his head and made him chuckle.
"We'll have to keep an eye on them. No fainting allowed."
Liu Anwei hummed in agreement, her eyelids drooping slightly as she rested against him. "Mmm."
"And we'll also have to make sure the meeting goes smoothly. No disagreements," Xu Qianghua added.
"Yeah," Liu Anwei said with a small pout, pressing her face into his chest. "Maybe next time."
"Hopefully," Bai Lingyun added with a soft smile, gently patting his shoulder.
Before Xu Qianghua could continue, a familiar voice interrupted their conversation.
"What are you three doing here?"
Liu Anwei, Bai Lingyun, and Xu Qianghua turned toward the voice, their eyes landing on Liu Meiying as she approached.
She wore a striking red dress, her hair tied back in a simple ponytail, adding an air of elegance to her casual demeanor.
She stopped in front of them, her lips curving into a slight smile. "Just talking about the upcoming meeting," Liu Anwei answered, her hands still resting on Xu Qianghua's chest.
Liu Meiying raised an eyebrow, her gaze sweeping over the relaxed group. "Looks more like lounging than strategizing," she teased, but there was no malice in her tone.
"Maybe a bit of both," Xu Qianghua said with a small grin. "But we're prepared. Everything is on track for the meeting."
"Good," Liu Meiying said, sitting in another chair she summoned. "Because if anything goes wrong, we'll have much more than just the Zerg to deal with."
"Nothing will go wrong," Xu Qianghua assured her. "We've accounted for everything."
"I hope so," Liu Meiying muttered, crossing her legs.
"Anyway," she continued, her voice becoming more serious. "Have you decided who will go to the meeting?
We can't go together, so you need to choose at least three people who will attend this meeting."
"Yes," Xu Qianghua nodded, his fingers running through Liu Anwei's hair. "I'm also going."
"Are you sure?" Liu Meiying asked, frowning slightly. "Wouldn't it be better to send one of the elders?"
"I'm the best person for the job," Xu Qianghua said confidently. "It's time to put a face to the name and let the other family heads meet me."n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
