After sending Zhong Tian back and giving him some money, Li Chen warning him about a few things, returned to the villa.
Inside the villa, after Li Chen entered, he found Lin Xiaoxiao watching TV.
As Li Chen came closer, he noticed Lin Xiaoxiao was absorbed in a Korean drama, completely engrossed, unaware of his presence next to her.
This girl was dressed quite nicely today, Li Chen quietly observed Lin Xiaoxiao’s attire, his eyes lighting up. Lin Xiaoxiao was dressed simply in a loose top, her hair flowing freely, but she wore tiny shorts that showcased her long, beautiful legs out in the air.
It looked like she had just taken a bath.
Li Chen sat down on the couch suddenly, startling Lin Xiaoxiao.
"You scared me to death, brother-in-law. Next time you appear, could you make some noise?" Lin Xiaoxiao complained, then immediately became engrossed in the Korean drama again.
"It’s because you are too captivated," Li Chen said. "I suspect even if someone kidnapped you during a Korean drama, you’d go willingly."
"What do you know?" Lin Xiaoxiao turned her head, sizing up Li Chen, "Brother-in-law, are you jealous, perhaps?"
"Jealous?" Li Chen was confused. "Jealous of what?"
Lin Xiaoxiao put on a knowing look, "Isn’t it because the male lead in the Korean drama is more handsome than you, richer than you, and surrounded by beautiful women? Don’t deny it, brother-in-law, I feel sorry for you."
Damn, being teased by my younger sister-in-law, can I tolerate this?
"That’s where you are mistaken," Li Chen chuckled, "Look at those pretty boys in the Korean drama, most of them are frail. Am I not more robust and mighty? Don’t rush to deny it. I could take a thousand of such male leads without a sweat."
Lin Xiaoxiao pouted her lips, remembering the terrifying combat power Li Chen had shown the other night at the hospital.
"So what? Didn’t you still faint afterwards?" Lin Xiaoxiao retorted.
"Wasn’t it because you pushed me that day? It messed up my True Qi!" Li Chen said irritably.
"How would I know you are so fragile, unable to withstand even a touch?" Lin Xiaoxiao stood her ground.
Damn, is this little sister-in-law really forcing me to unleash my ultimate move?
"Alright, let’s not argue about this." Li Chen said, "The second issue, you said that his family is richer than mine—that’s not acceptable. Do I look like a poor person?"
Lin Xiaoxiao turned her head and spoke seriously, "It’s not about looking like one, you are a poor person."
God damn it, Li Chen was furious, how could he be suppressed by his younger sister-in-law?
"NO." Li Chen shook his head. "First of all, I am a person of great substance. Unlike the male lead in Korean dramas who only knows how to love fiercely. Secondly, your sister is mine. Would I still lack money?"
"You." Lin Xiaoxiao was also infuriated, her chest heaving up and down, "My sister must have had something wrong with her eyes to choose you as my brother-in-law."
"What’s wrong with me being your brother-in-law?" Li Chen said proudly, "That’s your good fortune."
"Humph." Lin Xiaoxiao scoffed, "Besides my sister, do you have a crowd of beauties around you?"
Li Chen seriously took another look at Lin Xiaoxiao, and then said unhurriedly, "I currently do not because a certain person can’t be counted as a beauty at all."
Lin Xiaoxiao immediately caught on. This bastard! His verbal skills were really top-notch. Wasn’t this a roundabout way of insulting her looks?
"But you know, when you’re not around, I often get troubled," Li Chen sighed deeply. "Those beauties keep throwing themselves at me, and I can’t even stop them."
"Oh, please, you’re just putting on a show," Lin Xiaoxiao said disdainfully. Wasn’t he just lucky enough to end up marrying my sister?
"Haha," Li Chen laughed heartily, then added, "Besides, compared to a certain aspect, the male leads in Korean dramas are no match for me, I could leave them in the dust."
Lin Xiaoxiao glanced at Li Chen, "What aspect are you so confident about?"
Li Chen started chuckling mischievously, a hint of a wicked smile appearing on his lips: "Your sister is very satisfied, you know. Haven’t you noticed her rosy cheeks every day? Calling me a ’seven times a night guy’ doesn’t even begin to cover it, at least ten times at the minimum."
My sister is satisfied? A flicker of confusion passed through Lin Xiaoxiao’s eyes. What does this have to do with my sister? But as soon as Li Chen finished his sentence, Lin Xiaoxiao’s face turned red instantly, realizing what aspect he was referring to.
This bastard, doesn’t he know this topic is completely inappropriate to discuss with me?
Lin Xiaoxiao’s teeth itched with hatred, while Li Chen remained completely composed, a mischievous grin on his face. Trying to out-talk me? You think you can win?
After a long while, Lin Xiaoxiao looked up at Li Chen with a serious expression, "Brother-in-law, you’re just a rogue."
Li Chen chuckled, "Appreciate the compliment. Otherwise, how could your sister have fallen for me?"
Since Lin Yi wasn’t around, anything goes.
"You." Lin Xiaoxiao was so agitated by Li Chen that her chest heaved.
Turning her head away, Lin Xiaoxiao looked at the screen of the Korean drama and said, "The male leads in Korean dramas are nothing like you, so creepy."
"Creepy? How am I creepy?" Li Chen rolled his eyes. "Don’t tell me the male leads in Korean dramas don’t need to eat, sleep, or go to bed? These are all normal physiological needs. I don’t see anything wrong with that, unless the male leads aren’t human."
This time, Lin Xiaoxiao was truly left speechless. This asshole, she really couldn’t argue with him.
"Plus," Li Chen paused, looking at Lin Xiaoxiao, "it’s not that I’m creepy, it’s you who’s abnormal."
Lin Xiaoxiao turned her head away, no longer speaking to Li Chen, and suddenly lost interest in watching the Korean drama.
Watching Lin Xiaoxiao’s reaction, Li Chen chuckled mischievously. Trying to out-rogue me? You think you can edge me out in brazen gallantry?
Just at that moment, Lin Xiaoxiao suddenly received a phone call.
Picking up the phone, Lin Xiaoxiao checked the caller ID.
"Hello, Mo’er," Lin Xiaoxiao said. Mo’er was her college classmate, practically a best friend and die-hard confidante. The two shared everything, so seeing Mo’er’s call brought a bit of joy to Lin Xiaoxiao.
"Xiaoxiao... hurry... come... save... me." Mo’er’s voice was panic-stricken from the other end of the phone, tinged with fear.
Li Chen, sitting beside her, pricked up his ears, catching every word from the conversation.
"What’s wrong, Mo’er?" Lin Xiaoxiao suddenly had a bad feeling.
"Xiaoxiao... Emperor Heaven... hotel... room 1024... if you don’t come... I’m... I’m done for," Mo’er said, her voice breaking with a sob.
"Mo’er, wait for me." There was no time to ask for the reason, as Mo’er had already hung up the call.
Lin Xiaoxiao swiftly stood up and went directly to her room to get dressed.
