The Rise of Dragon Son-in-Law
Chapter 101 Little Secret

Chapter 101: Chapter 101 Little Secret

"Grandpa, is there something you want to tell me?"

Long Chen sat down.

Elder Li patted Long Chen’s hand and asked gravely, "You said just now that three years of military service, in a place where you couldn’t contact the outside world for three years, must be very unusual. Could it be the Northern Territory?"

"Yes, it is the Northern Territory," Long Chen replied.

"It seems I wasn’t mistaken," Elder Li said softly. "Back in the day, your grandfather also went to the Northern Territory."

"So that means the father I’ve never met is also some big figure in the Northern Territory?" Long Chen asked with a smile.

"This..."

Elder Li hesitated for a moment.

He knew, but he didn’t dare to say.

"Ha ha," Long Chen chuckled. "Elder Li, I spent three years in the Northern Territory and went through a lot. I already know who he is.

But he hasn’t contacted me, and I haven’t contacted him, no interference between us."

"Really?" Elder Li was astonished. "You and your father are quite the pair. It’s interesting that you both could hold out."

"Let it be. I can’t be bothered guessing what he’s thinking. Maybe it’s because we haven’t seen each other for so long that it doesn’t matter." Long Chen said with a smile.

"That’s not possible," Elder Li insisted. "Your father cares about you a lot. From what I know, you are his only son, he couldn’t possibly ignore you."

"Well, perhaps. Let’s not talk about this anymore. Grandpa, tell me about what my grandfather experienced in the Northern Territory back then."

Long Chen said with a smile.

"I really shouldn’t tell you, but now that you’ve figured out who your father is, keeping it secret is pointless."

"Go on, Grandpa. I’m listening," Long Chen said.

"Alright."

Elder Li took a deep breath and began to recount the tale.

Long Chen listened intently.

It took Elder Li half an hour to finish the story.

And Long Chen sighed, never expecting his grandfather to have gone through so much in the Northern Territory.

Slaughter, bloodshed, surviving from the brink of death—his grandfather had experienced it all.

And he, too, had gone through all of this in the Northern Territory.

Only, he had been luckier than his grandfather!

"Sigh, your grandfather devoted half of his life to Great Xia and spent the remainder accompanying you.

Remember to visit him on holidays, bow in respect, and offer incense," Elder Li said in a gentle voice.

"Yes," Long Chen nodded. "I will."

Bang, bang.

At that moment, a knock at the door sounded.

"Grandpa, may I come in?"

Li Yueyue’s voice came from outside.

"Don’t come in. Take your brother-in-law to the dining area and get him something to eat," Elder Li said with a smile.

"Grandpa, I’ll go out first then and come to see you when I have time."

Long Chen stood up and said.

"Go ahead, and try to show some understanding towards Yuechan. She’s a smart girl, she’ll come to her senses," Elder Li said softly.

"Yes, don’t worry, Grandpa. Nothing will go wrong," Long Chen smiled.

"In that case, I can rest easy. Go ahead."

The Elder waved his hand.

"Alright."

Long Chen opened the door and walked out of the study, gently closing the door behind him.

Li Yueyue looked at Long Chen excitedly, gripping the hem of her skirt, so nervous she could hardly speak.

Long Chen chuckled and said, "You little girl, you weren’t like this three years ago. Now you’re nervous seeing me?"

"I... I’m not nervous, it’s just that my heart is beating a little fast," Li Yueyue said somewhat incoherently.

"Ha ha, all right, all right, let’s go."

Long Chen walked ahead with his hands behind his back.

Li Yueyue hurried to keep up with Long Chen’s pace, looking very happy and light on her feet.

"Long Chen, these past three years..."

"Call me brother-in-law."

"No way."

"If you don’t, then I won’t talk to you," Long Chen threatened.

"Brother-in-law, you’re so mean."

Li Yueyue glared at Long Chen fiercely.

Long Chen was somewhat surprised, "Why are you so resistant to calling me brother-in-law?"

"Because I feel like Li Yuechan doesn’t deserve you," Li Yueyue said softly. "Some of her ideas, I really can’t understand, like her wanting to marry Zhou Haiyang this time, I just really don’t get it. If she truly loved you, even if the sky fell down, she wouldn’t marry someone else."

"She has her difficulties, fortunately, it was stopped and didn’t go through," Long Chen smiled.

"I heard from my dad, lucky you arrived in time, otherwise it would have been unthinkable," Li Yueyue said.

"It’s all okay now, Yueyue, have you dated anyone during these three years?" Long Chen asked with a smile.

"Nope, none of them caught my eye," Li Yueyue said.

Long Chen smiled and casually asked, "Why? What kind of person are you looking for?"

"I’m looking for someone like brother-in-law. After seeing brother-in-law, I feel like other men just don’t measure up and can’t make my heart flutter," Li Yueyue said sincerely.

"But I’m your brother-in-law, and a brother-in-law getting involved with his sister-in-law is not right, so don’t get any ideas about your brother-in-law," Long Chen teased.

"What’s wrong with that, as long as we don’t talk about it, right?" Li Yueyue’s eyes sparkled.

"Get out of here with that," Long Chen said with a laugh. "There are plenty of good men out there, you just haven’t met one yet."

"Yeah, yeah, let’s not talk about this. Brother-in-law, I’ll go get something for you to eat."

"No need," Long Chen said. "I have to go back for a bit, there’s something I need to do."

"Are you in such a hurry? What can you possibly have to do at this time, I can’t let you go, it’s so rare for us to meet. Stay and chat with me for a while. How about this, let’s go eat barbecue."

Li Yueyue took hold of Long Chen’s hand.

"Let’s do it tomorrow, I’ll treat you tomorrow. It’s not proper this late at night," Long Chen said with a smile.

"Fine, then it’s tomorrow, and don’t you try to fool me. I need your help with something tomorrow, too."

"Alright, you go and get some rest."

Long Chen waved his hand and walked away.

Li Yueyue watched Long Chen’s retreating figure, feeling extremely joyful.

She had a little secret she hadn’t told anyone.

This little secret was the reason why she hadn’t dated anyone for three years.

Watching Long Chen walk away, Li Yueyue took out her phone and dialed a number.

After the call connected, Li Yueyue said excitedly, "Nuannuan, I have some good news for you. That man, he’s back."

"Huh? What are you talking about?"

"That man, you know." Li Yueyue’s smile was radiant.

"You mean, the man you’ve been secretly in love with for three years?"

"Yes."

"Wow, Yueyue, congratulations. You have to seize the opportunity and not let him slip away again. Tomorrow, find a time to ask him out; I also want to see what kind of man has been on your mind for three years."

...

Meanwhile, Long Chen quickly arrived at Li Yuechan’s house.

After giving it some thought, he made a decision and called Li Yuexin.

Li Yuexin was very surprised to receive a call from Long Chen.

"Brother-in-law, you’re not asleep yet?"

"Not yet, why is it so noisy over there?" Long Chen frowned.

"I’m at the bar with my sister. She’s had too much to drink, and I can’t get her to leave," Li Yuexin said with a bitter laugh.

Long Chen had originally intended to ask Li Yuexin for help in getting hair samples from Li Shiqi and Han Min to run a DNA test.

But now that he heard Li Yuexin and Li Yuechan were at the bar, he temporarily dismissed that thought.

"Which bar? Send me the location, I’ll come over," Long Chen said.

"Okay, okay, hurry up, brother-in-law," Li Yuexin said.

"Okay."

After hanging up the phone, Long Chen immediately left for the bar upon receiving the location from Li Yuexin.
