xia ling's breath was like an orchid, and her words were somewhat coquettish.
long chen looked at her, a little excited.
"i suspect you're hinting at something, but i don't have any evidence."
long chen teased.
xia ling rolled her eyes at long chen and said,'you call this a hint? i don't think it's a hint anymore, it's an indication."
"oh, really? ahem, another day then. i still have things to do, so i'll take my leave first."
long chen decided to escape.
xia ling hurriedly pulled long chen back and said pitifully, " "you want to run again? don't go, okay?
the nangong family and the yang family are both eyeing us covetously, and they might come at any time. are you willing to let me face this storm alone?"
"if i'm here, there will be a storm too. are you willing to face my storm?"
"if it's a storm from you, then i'll gladly accept it."
xia ling blinked her eyes.
" oh? " long chen smiled in surprise. " then i'll accompany you tonight and treat you to a big meal. i'll have to go to the pill factory now. "
"alright, if you dare to trick me, i'll bite you to death."
xia ling fiercely threatened.
"i won't fool you. i'll be leaving first."
long chen waved his hand and turned to leave.
xia ling looked at long chen's back with a sweet smile on her face.
she knew that she had already fantasized about what would happen after dinner.
hence, xia ling was filled with anticipation.
xia ling had already mentally prepared herself for certain things and was looking forward to its arrival.
xia ling secretly prayed that nothing unexpected would happen.
...
after long chen left, he went to dragon shadow security company and transferred all the people in the company to the pill factory.
he had these people cultivate in the pill factory and protect it.
under long chen's training, everyone's combat strength had reached a certain level.
he was already able to deal with ordinary martial artists.
however, this was still far from being strong enough.
long chen had given these people some pointers in the pill factory, helping them improve.
under the support of the breathing technique, the speed at which they became stronger could be said to be changing with each passing day.
in the blink of an eye, night fell.
after long chen greeted li yuechan and zhao churan, who were at home, he went to the dragon doctor to pick xia ling up from work.
xia ling personally drove long chen. her car had been replaced with a six million dollar FLL, and as they walked on the road, many people turned their heads to look at them.
because very few people could drive such a good car in qianzhou province.
"what do you want to treat me to?"
xia ling asked long chen in the car.
"anything is fine, you decide."
long chen said with a smile.
"then i'll take you to a place."
xia ling increased her speed.
not long after, xia ling and long chen arrived at the shore of lake qian.
the shore at night was bustling with life.
there were all sorts of snacks, barbecue, and so on.
when the car stopped outside a barbecue stall, it immediately attracted countless attention.
"that car is awesome."
" he's indeed awesome. he drove such a good car and came to this night market to eat barbecue. he's just here to fill his cup, right? "
"i think so too."
" maybe she's more easy-going. don't say, the beautiful woman driving is really pretty. "
"you're envious of the guy beside her, right? hahaha."
in the vicinity, there were all sorts of discussions. their gazes were either intentionally or unintentionally on xia ling's body, or on xia ling's car.
"that's too ostentatious,"
long chen whispered to xia ling.
xia ling stuck out her tongue and said in an adorable manner, " "i didn't know it would turn out like this. i don't have any intention of showing off."
"i'll believe you for now."
long chen said with a smile.
"order, order."
xia ling took the menu from the boss and started ordering. she even ordered a dozen beers.
"we still have to drive later, and you actually want to drink."
" it's soulless to eat barbecue without drinking. the car is fine. i'll find a designated driver later. " xia ling laughed.
"that's fine."
"hey, you rarely come to this kind of place, right?" xia ling sat down beside long chen, gently leaning on his shoulder.
long chen wrapped his arm around xia ling's waist and smiled, " "indeed, i rarely come."
"i knew you didn't come here often. do you find it cheap? or do you find it unhygienic?" xia ling asked.
"none of them." long chen said softly, " i used to want to come here for a barbeque and a drink every time i passed by. but i don't have any money. i'm poor. i can only stand far away and smell the barbeque. "
"oh, really? you're just bragging, right?"
xia ling was shocked.
"i'm not bragging." "i didn't have any spare money to spend when i married into the li family," long chen said.
alas, i'm ashamed to say that my grandfather was seriously ill and struggled on his deathbed, but i couldn't borrow money for his medical expenses."
"isn't the li family very rich? to actually treat you like this, truly detestable." xia ling clenched her jade-like hands and furrowed her brows, her eyes flashing with cold lightning.
the current xia ling was no longer the xia ling of the past.
at this moment, in her heart, whoever dared to bully long chen would have to accept the cruelest punishment.
moreover, she had the ability to do so now.
long chen observed xia ling's expression and guessed her thoughts. he hurriedly smiled and said, " "it's all in the past. it's a good thing that yuechan helped me behind her family's back. otherwise, i'd be in so much debt that my sister and i would have been forced to die."
"do you have a younger sister? why didn't i hear you mention it before?"
xia ling glared at long chen, i realized, why didn't you tell me anything?
"well, i didn't find an opportunity to do so." long chen laughed drily.
"i don't care. call your sister right now."
"alright, alright, i'll do it."
long chen found long xue 'er's number and called her.
long xue 'er received long chen's call out of the blue. she was both excited and happy."big brother."
"xue 'er, are you asleep?" long chen asked.
" you're not asleep yet, brother. it's so noisy around you. are you outside? " long xue 'er asked.
"yes, with a ... his girlfriend is eating out."
"hmph, you big pig trotter. be careful that i don't tell on you to sister-in-law." long xue 'er said in a tender voice.
" yes, go and sue him. let him get beaten up when he gets back. "
xia ling, who was listening by the side, immediately said.
long xue 'er was startled. she then reacted and hastily said,"sister-in-law, i'm just joking. i won't tell you."
sister-in-law?
xia ling was stunned.
"i'm not li yuechan, my name is xia ling." xia ling smiled bitterly.
"i know you're not my sister-in-law, i can tell from your voice. but that doesn't stop me from calling you sister-in-law. you're all my sister-in-law, hehe."
said long xue 'er with a charming smile.
" haha, i see. that's great. if you call me sister-in-law, we'll be sisters for life. what's your wechat number? i'll add you as a friend. "
xia ling was so happy that the corners of her lips curled up.
" let my brother push me to you. sister-in-law, let's have a video call later. "
"sure, hehe, i want to see you too."
"yeah, i want to see sister-in-law too."
" then let's hang up now. we'll take the video call. "
xia ling was swift and decisive. she immediately hung up the phone and got long chen to recommend long xue 'er's wechat to her.
