Chapter 528: Just One Step Away from Transforming from Girl to Woman (Part One)
In the luxurious metropolis that is Dubai, Xu Cheng and Lin Chuxue arrived at the airport in sunglasses.
Haber’s second eldest son personally drove an extended white Rolls-Royce to pick them up.
“Mr. Xu, right? My father had been waiting for your arrival for a long time.” Haber’s eldest son, Zawa, was sitting on the front passenger seat, and he turned to the back and greeted Xu Cheng enthusiastically, “Mr. Xu, why not just come and live at our house? My father said he prepared a lot of red wine there.”
“My wife had been wanting to stay at the Burj Al Arab hotel for a long time, and I didn’t have the time to bring her over before. Since it’s already been booked now, we will just live at the hotel.”
Zawa: “Oh I see, my father is very happy about your arrival. We will for sure bring you around and make sure you and your wife have a great time!”
The car then directly drove to Haber’s big villa first. Last time, Xu Cheng already visited this place butt-naked, so he wasn’t a stranger to this place.
Haber, his current wife, and his youngest son and daughter had all been waiting at the front hall. When the car arrived, Xu Cheng got off, shook his hands, and hugged them.
When Haber saw Lin Chuxue slowly come out of the car, that gentle sight… As she took off her sunglasses, her blue eyes were as mesmerizing as the ocean.
“Oh, I think I’ve seen you somewhere before.” Haber was a bit surprised.
“My name is Nicole, and I’m from England. Of course, my father was originally from Huaxia, and right now I have Huaxia nationality, following my husband.” Lin Chuxue smiled and shook his hands.
“You are the Rose of Britain! I know you! You were on the global beauty list every year, no wonder I found you so familiar! It turned out to be Miss Nicole! Wait, you said, your husband?”
Lin Chuxue looked over at Xu Cheng and chuckled, and Haber looked over at Xu Cheng and became a bit dumbfounded. “Today’s not April Fools, right?”
Xu Cheng patted him on the shoulder and said, “How about it? Big surprise, right? I think I heard the sound of your heart shattering, but I’m already used to it. I will just have my arm around my wife and let the others cry about it.”
Haber was between laughter and tears. “It is truly difficult to understand why a person like you can have a wife like this. Oh well, anyways, it’s good that you are finally here. Winnie, I will have to trouble you for the next little while.”
Winnie was Haber’s wife and she obviously knew how to take care of guests, especially women. After all, they do mostly share similar interests.
“Don’t worry, Ms. Nicole, just treat this place like home. Anything you like to eat, play with, or buy, just let me know.”
“Alright, let’s get inside first.” Haber dragged Xu Cheng into the house.
He said to Xu Cheng in a low voice, “Speaking of buying, a few days ago, that Mandala medicine really got me drooling. Unfortunately, I didn’t have time to go, or else I would’ve gone to the auction too. The key is, initially, no one believed that it works, but when Hawking was successfully treated, I booked the plane ticket right away! But, I couldn’t get a ticket, what a pity.”
Xu Cheng: “I heard the final bidder was also from the Middle East? He got killed?”
Haber nodded. “It’s from another big local family, and they already found out who the murderer is. That guy’s still on the run. Remember, you promised me a favor! Now that I’m getting older and older, I don’t know why, but I’m getting more and more afraid of death.”
Xu Cheng: “It’s because you are enjoying your comfortable life too much.”
“Maybe that is why. I was on the streets when I was young too, but who knew, the older I got, the more scared of trouble I am.” Haber sighed. “Oh right, about the Sanling Financial Group, you really shocked me. But, your wife being the Rose of Britain shocked me even more. To be honest, how did you manage to successfully court her? Right now I feel like I’m becoming more and more unable to see through you, Buddy, but I feel you are a very interesting person.”
Xu Cheng: “In fact, I can’t see through myself too. Recently, I got this unprecedented idea, and this time I came to ask for your help.”

Haber’s eyelids jumped. “Don’t tell me first, I’m a bit scared, man. Right now, I’m really scared of hearing from your mouth what you are going to do. Everything you facking do can shock the entire world, so I’m really scared of you coming to me for help, you know?”
Xu Cheng: “I don’t have many friends that I can rely on.”
This sentence indeed was very useful on Haber. He laughed. “Woah dude, I know I am. To be able to be called a reliable friend by you means at least I have some use, haha. Since you are here for a couple of days, don’t worry about this for now. Does your wife know you are here for business or to take her out to play? I can see, outside of home, she listens to you on everything, but at home, it seems like she calls the shots.”
Xu Cheng’s eyes opened wide. “How do you know?”
Haber laughed. “Because I am also this kind of good man.”
Xu Cheng: “Don’t BS me.”
Haber still glanced at Xu Cheng with a bit of uncertainty and asked, “She’s really your wife?”
“Do I have to show you my marriage certificate?” Xu Cheng was between laughter and tears. “Why do all men in this world ask me this question? Am I really that ugly?”
Haber pouted and said, “Did those men also never tell you that your wife still hasn’t lost her innocence? Are you the abnormal one or her? Or are you two just simply acting to be in a marriage?”
Xu Cheng’s eyes got even bigger as he looked at Haber and said, “You can see through this too?”
“Of course! The transformation from a girl to a woman seems just one step away, but there’s actually a big difference, you know? A girl has her unique innocence, and you can clearly tell the difference from her eyes and demeanor. Did you not notice how many of the mature men that tried to court her addressed her as Miss Nicole?”
Xu Cheng was a bit stunned. So that was the case.
“Are you the not-okay one?” Haber looked at Xu Cheng with a bit of mockery.
“How the fack am I not okay? I just… I just only like girls, can’t that be the case? No, I think you are just blind,” Xu Cheng said.
Haber: “You facking pedo, I must not let you see my daughter.”
“Fack off, I’m a man with principles,” Xu Cheng said.
In fact, he had a lot to worry about. There was a big secret he didn’t dare to tell anyone.
Why did he choose the Land of Mercenaries to be his home for development?
It was because if his secret really gets exposed and he became the mutant in other people’s eyes, then only the Land of Mercenaries would allow for his existence.
What Dr. Koman said was still lingering in his heart. Gene contamination could cause death.
After spending an afternoon chilling at Haber’s house, at night, Xu Cheng and Lin Chuxue arrived at the Burj Al Arab hotel. When they walked into their room, a subtle feeling made them both a bit awkward.
It was because the whole room only had one big bed, and there was a candle-light dinner prepared on the terrace outside. A petal bath had been set up, and the sweet aroma was emanating from the washroom.
Lin Chuxue was too shy and immediately lowered her head, put down her luggage, and went to take a bath. Xu Cheng walked to the table, and there was a card with Haber’s ugly-a$$ writing: Hope You Make That Step Forward Today.
Xu Cheng bitterly smiled.
