Chapter 118: Chapter 118 Preparing for a Rainy Day

Fortunately, this time it was all shock and no harm, Xia Ling quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Long Chen, I’ve made up my mind."

Suddenly, Xia Ling opened her eyes.

"Decided on what?" Long Chen asked.

Xia Ling clenched her fists and said, "I’ve decided to hire two super tough bodyguards. Our company is growing faster and faster, and there’s bound to be more and more danger; I can’t keep counting on luck."

"The idea is good, but when facing an assassin like Satan, are bodyguards really effective? They won’t actually risk their lives to protect you, don’t be naive," Long Chen said with a smile.

"What should I do, then? Seriously learn Martial Arts from you? That’s even more unrealistic." Xia Ling rubbed her temples, feeling a headache coming on.

"You’ll understand."

Long Chen said with a mysterious smile.

With his personal guidance and assistance, even if Xia Ling had no talent for Martial Arts at all, he could make her into a master capable of defeating a common Martial Arts expert with no problems.

"Let’s just take it one step at a time."

Xia Ling didn’t think further on it.

Long Chen escorted Xia Ling all the way to her company office. Before parting, as Xia Ling closed the office door, she stared at Long Chen and asked, "Are you leaving now?"

"I have to go back and continue Alchemy, the orders are piling up."

Long Chen gave a wry smile.

The thought alone gave him a headache.

"That’s indeed a big problem, but right now, we should talk about some other issues."

Xia Ling locked eyes with Long Chen, "Today, you came alone to rescue me, fearless of life and death, and I was quite touched. It’s the first time a man has risked his life for me. Do you understand what I’m saying?"

"Don’t overthink it," Long Chen said. "To me, it was just a small matter, and it didn’t take much effort. Don’t harbor any other thoughts. If I wasn’t sure of myself, I wouldn’t have come."

With those words, Long Chen waved his hand decisively and left.

Xia Ling stomped her foot in frustration. Suddenly, the scene on her chest was quite spectacular, a pity that Long Chen didn’t see it.

...

When Long Chen got home, after chatting with Li Yuechan for a bit, he went to his carefully-prepared Alchemy room.

Additionally, Long Chen also called over the two maids from Dragon Medical Hall to join him in Alchemy.

Under Long Chen’s direction, after several failures, the two women gradually discerned a pattern, while Long Chen only had to intervene at critical moments.

By the end of the day, the production of the Cancer Healing Pills had greatly increased.

Deep into the night, Tang Ying and Jiang Tong, finally free to move about after their work, started to relax.

"Long Brother, the essence of the Elixir must be that thing you added that’s like light. Without it, the Elixir has no effect, right?" Jiang Tong asked curiously.

"Smart, that’s the soul. But the Elixir itself is also crucial; otherwise, what I add wouldn’t work," Long Chen laughed. "Alright, rest here tonight, we’ll continue with Alchemy tomorrow."

"Long Brother, how long do we have to do this?"

Tang Ying made a pouting face.

"Keep going continuously, here’s what we’ll do; both of you will earn a monthly salary of one hundred thousand each from now on."

Long Chen said with a smile.

"One hundred thousand?"

"Wow, Long Brother, really?"

The two girls were stunned.

"It will increase in the future," Long Chen continued. "Are you willing?"

"Yes, definitely!"

"Long Brother is so good, I’m suddenly filled with energy."

"Alright, go get some rest," Long Chen said.

...

Watching the two girls go to sleep, Long Chen was far from sleepy.

He quietly left, heading to Zhao Churan’s villa, and sneaked into Zhao Churan’s room.

Slipping under the covers, Long Chen suddenly realized that there were two people in the warmly enticing bed.

Hiss.

Long Chen sharply inhaled in surprise.

And the two people in the bed had already been woken by the disturbance.

"Ahh, Churan, there’s a pervert, get up quickly."

A sharp scream rang out.

Then, the woman who had been sleeping with Zhao Churan began to furiously hit Long Chen.

Zhao Churan woke up startled, turned on the light, and saw it was Long Chen. She said, amused and exasperated, "Qianqian, stop hitting him. He’s my boyfriend, not a thug."

"Your boyfriend?"

Qianqian was stunned.

Then, she hurriedly covered her private parts, her face flushing red.

With an awkward laugh, Long Chen turned away, "Sorry, I didn’t know you were here. I thought it was just Churan."

"Bad man, didn’t I tell you during the day that my best friend was going to sleep with me tonight?"

Zhao Churan gave Long Chen a disdainful look.

"I forgot."

Long Chen was quite embarrassed.

"You... get out for now, Qianqian isn’t dressed," Zhao Churan said softly.

"Then I’ll go home," Long Chen said.

"Don’t you dare," Zhao Churan immediately said, "wait for me in the living room."

"Alright."

Long Chen walked out of the bedroom and closed the door.

Zhao Churan turned and looked at her blushing best friend, chuckled and said, "He accidentally saw you naked, and you’ve hit him quite a lot, so we’re even, hehe."

"Churan, you better give him a good scolding later, darn it. I, Fang Qian, have never been seen naked by any man, wuu, I’m tainted."

"Haha, stop it, I’ll treat you to a great meal tomorrow to make up for it, okay?" Zhao Churan couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

"You’ve got yourself a deal,"

Fang Qian pouted.

"Come on now, let’s get some sleep; I’ll go have a chat with him," Zhao Churan winked.

"Go ahead, but keep it down."

Fang Qian waved her hand and lay back down under the covers, while Zhao Churan went to the living room to find Long Chen.

But Fang Qian never would have imagined that for her, this would be a sleepless night.

...

The next day, early morning.

The three of them sat together for breakfast, Fang Qian with dark circles under her eyes, looking somewhat dispirited.

"Qianqian, didn’t you get a good rest?"

Zhao Churan asked with concern.

"Do you really have the nerve to ask?" Fang Qian whispered, "Your noises were so loud last night... I just couldn’t sleep to them."

"Cough cough cough, shut up,"

Zhao Churan’s face turned red.

Long Chen pretended he heard nothing and concentrated on his food.

Fang Qian glared at Zhao Churan bitterly, biting her teeth, but then stopped herself from saying more.

"Qianqian, you’re not getting any younger, it’s about time you found yourself a boyfriend,"

Zhao Churan said earnestly.

"I won’t," Fang Qian said, "You’re not tricking me into being tormented ’til dawn like you."

Pfft.

Long Chen, who was drinking water, couldn’t help but spit it out.

Zhao Churan was also at a loss for words, staring blankly at Fang Qian.

Fang Qian also realized she misspoke, but was unable to explain.

After breakfast, Fang Qian left in a hurry.

Zhao Churan lay in Long Chen’s arms, feeling drowsy and tired, "Honey, I don’t feel like moving today, I’m so tired."

"How about we endure it and go to your parents’ place? I’m worried we might not have time later," Long Chen said.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Churan suddenly perked up, "Are you sure we’re going today?"

"Yeah, let’s go to your house today, have a talk with your parents, and then you can move in with me. Otherwise, if you live here alone, I won’t feel secure," Long Chen said seriously.

The incident with Xia Ling had left Long Chen somewhat apprehensive.

If Zhao Churan was ever kidnapped and something irreparable happened, just the thought was terrifying to Long Chen.

Some things must be prepared for before they happen...
