Chapter 279: Chapter 257: Will I Become a Dad in the Future?

Cruel!

Shadow’s move was indeed cruel. If Li Chen had tried to kill himself or intercept himself, then the Ginseng Doll would definitely have died. By now, Shadow’s wounds in the water had almost healed, so the Ginseng Doll was no longer of much use to her, especially with Li Chen present, who would never let her take the Ginseng Doll away.

Thus, this move forced Li Chen to rescue the Ginseng Doll, while Shadow had already broken the window.

"Pop"

The glass shattered into fragments as Shadow leapt down.

"King of the Netherworld, I’ll entangle you, and I’ll make you watch your loved ones die one by one. Hahaha!"

Shadow’s wild laughter still echoed as Li Chen had already rescued the Ginseng Doll.

Looking at the empty room, Li Chen frowned in silence.

The Ginseng Doll in his hands was still drowsy, but had improved a lot and seemed a bit more comfortable in Li Chen’s arms, even turning to his side.

Almost simultaneously, Qilin Princess and Ouyang Wan’er rushed over, and, upon seeing the empty room, both were taken aback.

"She’s escaped," Li Chen turned around, "It was Shadow."

"Qilin, could you send someone to check, and find out where Shadow is hiding?" Li Chen turned to Qilin Princess.

Qilin Princess nodded. "Don’t worry, she can’t hide in Linchuan."

Ouyang Wan’er stepped forward, reassuring Li Chen, "Brother Chen, there’s nothing to worry about, she can’t stir up much trouble."

Li Chen managed a smile, but the knits in his brow did not relax. If Shadow was targeting him personally, he naturally wouldn’t worry, since with his abilities, he could easily overpower Shadow. However, if Shadow was targeting his family, that would be problematic.

With so many people around him, he had no idea who Shadow would strike at; one in the open, and one in the dark, leaving him completely on the defensive.

All he could do was take things one step at a time, Li Chen sighed internally.

"So cute, Brother Chen, what is this?" Suddenly, Ouyang Wan’er noticed the Ginseng Doll in Li Chen’s arms.

The Ginseng Doll seemed to be waking up too, making a soft "awoo" sound. It appeared that it had learned to make a couple of sounds during this time.

"This is the Ginseng Doll, Wan’er, hold it." Li Chen handed over the Ginseng Doll to Ouyang Wan’er who carefully took it, completely enchanted by the Ginseng Doll.

Girls naturally liked such cute things, and since the Ginseng Doll was also a Spiritual Object and Ouyang Wan’er studied traditional Chinese medicine, she naturally had a fondness for such things.

Li Chen, Qilin Princess, and the three of them left the Fuli Nightclub, with Ouyang Wan’er holding the Ginseng Doll, her mind and energy seemingly completely captivated by the Ginseng Doll, while Qilin Princess maintained a cool expression.

"That’s it for tonight’s operation, I’ll notify you if there’s any news," Qilin Princess said to Li Chen coldly.

Li Chen nodded with a smile, sincerely saying, "Qilin, thank you."

Qilin Princess stiffened, touched by the thanks, unable to restrain a smile creeping over her lips.

In fact, Qilin Princess was not a cold person; her heart, like that of gods, was rich and grand, especially when she was angry, her beauty was simply too stirring.

By then, the Ginseng Doll had also woken up, opening its large eyes, looking at Li Chen and Ouyang Wan’er, and blinking curiously.

"Brother Chen, it’s awake!" Ouyang Wan’er exclaimed happily.

"Mom, mom..."

At that moment, the Ginseng Doll let out a cry similar to "mommy," and looking at Ouyang Wan’er, a smiling expression appeared on its face.

It can even call mommy?

Qilin Princess was also stunned by this little thing; it was truly magical.

The Ginseng Doll wasn’t afraid of Ouyang Wan’er at all and climbed straight onto Ouyang Wan’er’s shoulder, giggling, then mixed in a "mommy" sound— as mischievous as any child.

"Brother Cheen, it is just too cute," exclaimed Ouyang Wan’er, unable to contain her joy.

Li Chen blinked and looked at Ouyang Wan’er, "Wan’er, I suddenly realized a very serious issue."

"What?"

Li Chen spoke earnestly, "If this Ginseng Doll is calling you mommy, doesn’t that make me a dad somehow?"

At those words, Qilin Princess rolled her eyes and huffed. This guy, always finding peculiar ways to gain an advantage, immediately made Ouyang Wan’er’s face turn red.

"Brother Cheen, we haven’t even had our ceremonial bows under heaven and earth yet. After we do that, then you can be the Ginseng Doll’s dad," Ouyang Wan’er said with flushed cheeks, while Qilin Princess was already speechless. Why does Wan’er always fall into Li Chen’s arms, really?

"Wan’er, it’s time to go," said Qilin Princess from the side.

"Qilin, just wait a little longer," Ouyang Wan’er said reluctantly. She had only just met Li Chen.

Li Chen looked at Qilin Princess, who had an indescribable expression, and laughed out loud: "Qilin Princess, don’t be jealous. I can share half of my love with you."

"What did you say?" Qilin Princess suddenly furrowed her brows, ready to start a fight at any disagreement.

Really, would this guy die if he didn’t provoke others?

Li Chen teased, as if saying: Did you forget the last time I forcefully kissed you in the hospital?

"By the way, Wan’er, we have a junior brother named Zhong Tian. The Ginseng Doll has been following him lately," Li Chen said, "You should meet him sometime."

Ouyang Wan’er smiled slightly, "Brother Cheen, I’ve known about it for a while now. Third Grandpa already told me."

Well, okay, Li Chen scratched his nose.

Finally, Ouyang Wan’er and Qilin Princess left. The Ginseng Doll also followed Ouyang Wan’er. Catching the Ginseng Doll was hard, and who knew, it might run off to play with Zhong Tian in a few days.

Li Chen also returned to the villa. It was very late, and upon opening the door, Li Chen saw Lin Xiaoxiao.

"Brother-in-law, why have you only just come back?" Lin Xiaoxiao was munching on an apple, sporting a ponytail and wore a loose top, but the lower half was significantly exposed, revealing shorts underneath.

It looked like she had just taken a bath.

I could play with those legs of my sister-in-law for a year.

Li Chen’s eyes fixed on Lin Xiaoxiao’s legs, practically drooling. Lin Xiaoxiao was already a beauty, and generally, the legs of beauties were very attractive—Wang Qianqian, Lin Yi, and Lin Xiaoxiao were no exceptions.

But, Lin Xiaoxiao’s legs seemed even whiter and more eye-catching.

"Brother-in-law, do you want to massage my feet?" Lin Xiaoxiao’s eyes twinkled mischievously, she looked like a sly fox.

And after saying this, she lifted her dainty feet, playfully wriggling them in the air.
