Chapter 173: Chapter 152: You Are So Beautiful

Li Chen brought Lin Yi back to the villa, and Aunt Wang was extremely excited to see Lin Yi return.

The elite members of the Li Family, brought by Gao Gu, had all left the villa, but the hall was still somewhat dirty and in disarray, with overturned and shattered items everywhere.

However, these were all trivial matters, as Lin Yi had been safely brought back.

"Miss, are you hungry? I’ll go get you something to eat," Aunt Wang quickly said.

Lin Yi nodded slightly, and Li Chen then carried her to the couch.

Looking at Lin Yi’s somewhat pale face, Li Chen also felt a twinge of heartache.

After having dinner with Lin Yi, she was very tired and wanted to go back to her room to rest.

Supporting Lin Yi, they arrived at her bedroom.

"Alright, baby, take a rest today; it will all be fine tomorrow," Li Chen comforted her.

With his right hand stroking Lin Yi’s hair, Li Chen’s eyes were filled with tenderness.

"Mhm," Lin Yi gently nodded.

"Then you should rest early," Li Chen said with a smile, and after speaking, he intended to rise and leave.

"Don’t," Lin Yi suddenly grabbed Li Chen’s hand.

"Then I won’t go," Li Chen said, "Rest easy."

Lin Yi hummed softly, feeling warm inside.

After a while, Lin Yi softly said, "Li Chen, I can’t sleep."

"Then I’ll keep you company and chat," Li Chen said.

Lin Yi shook her head, "The power of the Li Family is too overwhelming; I’m still worried."

The name of the Yanjing Li Family was not to be taken lightly. Why was Gao Gu so confident, thinking that merely mentioning the Yanjing Li Family name allowed him to act with such impunity?

Wasn’t it because the Yanjing Li Family indeed had the power to turn the clouds with a flip of their hand?

"Beautiful wife, I am right here. Where are you putting your husband?" Li Chen caressed Lin Yi’s cheek, "The Yanjing Li Family can’t do anything to me, and they won’t take you away from me; they lack the ability to do so."

Lin Yi’s furrowed brows did not unwind, she only thought that Li Chen was trying to comfort her. The Li Family was not so easy to provoke, and moreover, for saving her today, Li Chen had killed two of the Li Family’s experts and crippled Li Xinshan. Just for these two points alone, the Li Family would not let Li Chen go, let alone her.

Sighing inwardly, Lin Yi realized that the only way to safeguard Li Chen’s life was to return to the Lin Family and sever ties with Li Chen, as only if the Li Family could not find Li Chen could he be safe.

Once she returned to her family, the Li Family would have to think twice before making a move against her.

"Still worried?" Li Chen pretended to be displeased, "If you keep worrying, I will have to punish you. How dare you not trust your husband?"

Lin Yi looked at Li Chen, and observing him from such a close distance, she couldn’t help but think back to when they first met. He had just been a pancake seller, then helped her develop perfume, fending off threats from Ferdinand’s team. Later, they faced assassin attacks, he accompanied her to Beihe City, and covertly helped her deal with business rivals targeting her. All these memories flashed rapidly through Lin Yi’s mind.

The times when Li Chen flirted with her, took advantage of her, and acted shamelessly seemed to be etched into Lin Yi’s memory.

It was only at this moment that Lin Yi realized, after so many days of being together, she truly had fallen for Li Chen.

"What’s wrong?" Li Chen, seeing Lin Yi suddenly smile faintly, paused, wondering what was on his beautiful wife’s mind.

"Li Chen, do you still remember the first time we met?" Lin Yi asked.

"Of course I remember, you even said there were a hundred ways to make me disappear from Linchuan City." Li Chen laughed heartily; at that time, he hadn’t expected that upon returning to the country he would be dragged into becoming the husband of a beautiful CEO.

Lin Yi’s face turned slightly red, "I did that because of special circumstances at the time."

Back then, Lin Yi’s company was short of money, and just then, a mysterious person had proposed that Lin Yi take Li Chen as a husband in exchange. Although reluctant, Lin Yi agreed, but she hadn’t anticipated that, through a twist of fate, she would come to genuinely fall for Li Chen.

If Li Chen knew the reason, he would guess that the mysterious person was the Ghost King, using Lin Yi to hold him back and, if the plan succeeded, to ensnare him in a romantic trap, thus Lin Yi would become his vulnerability.

The seemingly invincible King of the Netherworld suddenly had a fatal weakness, and that weakness was a woman. At which point, the Ghost King could use this weakness to eliminate Li Chen.

On several occasions, Lin Yi was indeed targeted, but as fate would have it, both Li Chen and Lin Yi were unharmed, instead, they ended up together.

The two started chatting, talking about the time when they first met, the various experiences they had been through together, and the times when Li Chen took advantage of Lin Yi.

Every now and then, Lin Yi showed a girlish smile, while Li Chen teased her, and Lin Yi, like a bashful girl, would punch Li Chen’s chest.

Is this happiness?

Lin Yi felt an unprecedented warmth in her heart.

Time flew, and after a whole hour passed, Li Chen said, "Baby wife, you rest well. When you wake up tomorrow morning, everything will be fine."

Lin Yi hummed softly, but as she saw Li Chen about to leave, her heart struggled with a decision, and suddenly she blurted out, "Li Chen, stay with me tonight."

After saying that, Lin Yi’s face turned beet red, and she felt her heart racing.

Stay over?

Li Chen was also stunned, then looked at Lin Yi, only to find that she had shyly turned her head away.

Could it be, might it possibly, should it, probably, be what I’m guessing?

Li Chen chuckled to himself, it seemed his spring had arrived.

"Okay."

Li Chen didn’t waste any words. He quickly took off his shoes and outerwear and with lightning speed, whipped back the covers and dove in, settling down in one fluid motion, the entire process taking no more than three seconds.

Feeling the masculine scent of Li Chen lying next to her, Lin Yi panicked slightly, "Li Chen, go turn off the lights."

Turn off the lights, no problem.

Almost instantly, Li Chen reached out to turn off the lights and settled back into bed. Then the two lay in silence, the room engulfed in darkness, accompanied only by the sound of Lin Yi’s heartbeat.

Li Chen’s hand quietly reached out towards Lin Yi, and when it touched her hand, he could feel her whole body seem to tremble.

However, Lin Yi did not shrink back; instead, she held onto Li Chen’s hand.

Encouraged, Li Chen was overjoyed and immediately rolled over, pinning Lin Yi down.

Lin Yi was startled by Li Chen, but with her eyes tightly closed, she waited for Li Chen’s "attack."

But after waiting for what seemed like an eternity, there was no movement. Unable to bear it anymore, she opened her eyes, only to see Li Chen staring at her, utterly infatuated.

"You’re so beautiful," Li Chen said, and then kissed Lin Yi directly on her rose-like lips!
