Chapter 167: Chapter 146: Beautiful Lady, Come with Me

In the end, Lin Yi was no match for Li Chen and succumbed to his advances.

That night, Li Chen comfortably shared a bed with Lin Yi and took full advantage of the situation, but Lin Yi firmly guarded her last line of defense. Knowing that rushing things could lead to loss rather than gain, Li Chen understood that everything needed to be taken step by step. After all, Rome wasn’t built in a day, and empires couldn’t be destroyed overnight either. Women needed to be conquered slowly.

The next day, when Li Chen opened his eyes, he was surprised to find that Lin Yi had already left the bed.

Glancing at the time, geez, it was already past eight o’clock.

It seems the pleasures of love really do make one lose track of time.

Li Chen chuckled to himself and sniffed; Lin Yi’s scent still lingered on the bed. The fragrance of her perfume mixed with her body scent was utterly intoxicating.

After getting out of bed, Li Chen freshened up. Since he was already late, arriving at the company a bit later didn’t really matter—there wasn’t much for him to do there anyway. He could easily skip going altogether.

A while later, as Aunt Wang saw Li Chen coming down to the hall, she shook her head and said, "Young master, although the matters of men and women are full of mystery, you must exercise restraint. Otherwise, it could harm your health, and that would not be good."

Li Chen was stunned but then couldn’t help but laugh bitterly. Aunt Wang, I do want to get it on with my beautiful wife, but Lin Yi simply won’t let me.

Sensing Aunt Wang’s misunderstanding about him waking up late, Li Chen didn’t bother to explain, "Aunt Wang, I’ll remember that."

Aunt Wang nodded and took out breakfast from the microwave, "Miss has already gone to work."

After a quick breakfast, Li Chen, too, set out but didn’t head straight to work; instead, he decided to go shopping.

Staying in the company for too long was really boring, especially when he had nothing else to do.

Soon, Li Chen arrived at Dawan Street, the most famous street in Linchuan.

Beyond its fame, Dawan Street is also one of the busiest centers of Linchuan City, along with the old street and the Champs-elysees Street—they could be considered the three bustling hearts of the city.

Though Linchuan City is still some distance away from being a first-tier city, it isn’t far off, being one of the top second-tier cities. Hence, some industries that are... colorful in nature are quite developed here.

Cough, I digress.

At the moment, Li Chen was leisurely strolling down the street, catching glimpses of foreign beauties here and there, all dressed provocatively with eye-catching long legs.

It must be said that Eastern European girls naturally have a leg up when it comes to their figures.

As Li Chen was mentally rating the passing beauties, a figure ahead caught his attention.

Isn’t that Yang Xin?

What are the odds?

At that moment, Yang Xin was holding two bags, but her path was blocked by a burly man.

The burly man was simply dressed in a vest, with his developed fat giving him an imposing look.

There were remnants of stubble on his face, suggesting he hadn’t shaved cleanly, his arms were covered in thick sweat hair, and he had a substantial belly. However, this burly man seemed completely unaware of his unflattering appearance.

"Hey, beauty, you should at least give me some face. I’ve been following you for two streets now," the burly man blocked Yang Xin’s path, dissatisfaction written all over his face.

"Sorry, I’m not going to agree to that," Yang Xin declined flatly. What a joke; first off, although she wasn’t a neat freak, she had no fondness for those who were slovenly and looked unkempt; and secondly, to her, the man in front of her was just too ugly and not at all to her aesthetic standards.

No matter what, she couldn’t agree to be his girlfriend.

The burly man snorted, "You’re refusing the toast only to drink a forfeit. Let me tell you, you must give face to me, Fei San. It’s okay if you don’t agree to be my girlfriend; just spend the day with me today, and I won’t trouble you."

Yang Xin’s expression was utterly cold, "You have no right to demand that, and I certainly won’t accompany you. It’s best if you just step aside or I will call the police."

"Police?" The burly man laughed, "Then go ahead and call them. Usually, the police take a detour when they see me; there’s never been a time when Fei San had to avoid them."

Yang Xin’s brow furrowed at the burly man’s words. He was nothing but a hoodlum, and she truly didn’t know how to deal with him. The passersby around them paid no attention to Yang Xin’s predicament, making it impossible for her to find someone to ask for help.

"So, what do you say? If you don’t agree to be my girlfriend, that’s fine too; just spend the day with me, and I’ll leave you alone," the burly man shook his jowls, as if feeling discomfort in his throat, then spat on the ground—a wad of phlegm flew out and landed.

Yang Xin took an involuntary step back; the man before her was truly uncouth.

"I won’t go," Yang Xin shook her head definitively, "I’m not going to accompany you."

"I, Fei San, don’t usually force people, but your reluctance is causing me to lose face in front of my friends," the man’s face took on a fierce glint, "Today, you will leave with me whether you want to or not."

Yang Xin shook her head, "That’s none of my concern. Please step aside, I have things to do."

"That means you’re forcing me to be rough," Fei San suddenly reached out, grabbed Yang Xin’s arm, and turned to drag her away.

"What are you doing?" Yang Xin, frightened, didn’t expect Fei San to care about proprieties as he attempted to take her with him. But just then, a hand suddenly appeared, placed on Fei San’s arm, and immediately Fei San found himself unable to move his hand.

Could a girl really be this strong?

Puzzled, Fei San turned his head and to his surprise found a man smiling at him.

Fei San took a step back in shock, "What do you want? Trying to scare me to death? Get lost, I’m not into that."

Seeing Li Chen arrive, Yang Xin breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully Li Chen showed up; otherwise, she truly had no way to handle this thug.

Li Chen watched Fei San with a smile. "Forcing a woman, what you’re doing isn’t right. You need to learn to respect women. You can only take her with you if she agrees, otherwise, you have no right."

"Who’s this kid trying to play the hero?" Fei San snorted coldly. "You don’t have the guts to do that in front of me."

"Is that so?" Li Chen smiled lightly, grabbed Fei San’s hand, and gently pushed it forward. Suddenly, Fei San felt himself uncontrollably stepping backward, it took several steps for him to stop.

Fei San had been a street tough for years, been in plenty of fights, and being pushed by Li Chen like that didn’t diminish his momentum, it only grew stronger.

"Playing the hero?" Fei San snorted coldly again. "Well, you also need to see if she’s willing to go with you."

"Why wouldn’t she be?" Li Chen chuckled. "This beauty was about to go with me anyway."

"Stop talking big," the fat on Fei San’s body quivered again. "I’m telling you, don’t interfere with my business, or it won’t be good for you if you end up with broken arms and legs later."

"Don’t believe me? Then I’ll have to prove it to you." Li Chen chuckled, turned to Yang Xin and asked, "Beauty, are you willing to go with me?"

Seeing Li Chen winking at her, Yang Xin felt annoyed and turned her head away, not answering.

Damn, how uncooperative, how am I supposed to help you.

"Ha ha, I told you, kid, don’t overestimate yourself. Trying to play the hero," laughed Fei San upon seeing this.

Li Chen was speechless, "Well then, since the beauty isn’t willing to go with me, I might as well go to the movies by myself. When this fatso either X’s you and then kills you or kills you and then X’s you, it won’t be my problem."

Li Chen shrugged his shoulders and began to walk away, but his words had startled Yang Xin.

"Hey, don’t go, I’ll go with you," Yang Xin hurriedly said.

Li Chen chuckled. Trying to compete with me?

He stopped in his tracks, turned to Fei San and said, "How about that? This beauty is willing to go with me now."

Fei San was dumbfounded; this seemed impossible.

"I don’t care whether she goes with you or not, she must go with me today," Fei San huffed, raising his right fist. "Scram, or I’ll beat you up."

"Looking for a fight?" Li Chen chuckled, instead of backing down, he put out his face, "Come on, hit here, don’t be shy."

Fei San, not holding back, rushed over, his fist raised, roaring!

But the next moment, a fist rapidly grew larger in his field of vision!

Bang!

The miserable cry of Fei Shan as he was sent flying!

Li Chen nonchalantly dusted off his hands as Fei San landed heavily on the ground, the thud made one wonder if the ground had cracked.

Fei San got up, a flash of surprise in his eyes, but realizing Li Chen was not to be trifled with, the unyielding Fei San charged at Li Chen again, only to be thrown even more pitifully.

After being thrown twice, Fei San’s courage finally shrank. Standing up, he said menacingly, "Just you wait."

Then he turned and ran.

When Fei San had left, Li Chen turned back, chuckling, "Teacher Yang, what a coincidence."

Yang Xin softly hummed in acknowledgment, "Thanks again."

"No worries, we’re all friends here," Li Chen waved his hand, and Yang Xin felt a little warmth in her heart, but unexpectedly, Li Chen added, "Since there will be a next time, you can owe me for now and pay back when it accumulates."

Well, that left Yang Xin utterly speechless.

"Just kidding," Li Chen chuckled, "What are you doing here?"

"Shopping," said Yang Xin, lifting the bags in her hand.

"What a coincidence, I am shopping too," Li Chen grinned, "Shall we shop together?"

"No, I’ve already got what I needed."

"Ah, never mind, I also don’t feel much like shopping. Let’s just walk together." Li Chen shamelessly changed his purpose.

Yang Xin slightly smiled, not calling him out on it.

"What did you buy?" Li Chen walked alongside Yang Xin and couldn’t help but ask.

"Aside from personal items, mainly medicine," Yang Xin replied.

"Medicine? For what?" Li Chen was puzzled. Yang Xin wasn’t sick anymore, and he had already healed her chest problem.

"Medication for rheumatism," Yang Xin said, "My mother suffers from rheumatism. She needs medication all year round, and we recently ran out, so I bought some."

Rheumatism is quite troublesome, especially for older people. They often rely on medication for treatment but can’t be completely cured, suffering greatly whenever the weather turns bad.

However, for Li Chen, rheumatism was nothing more than an ailment easily cured with the right approach, incredibly simple.
