Chapter 187: Chapter 185 Frustrated Long Chen

As soon as Han Min finished speaking, Long Chen immediately said, "No."

If Han Min moved in, constantly scheming, it would severely affect his relationship with Li Yuechan and Zhao Churan.

Moreover, looking at Han Min, Long Chen really felt uncomfortable, no matter how he looked.

If Han Min truly moved in, Long Chen felt that he wouldn’t enjoy anything he ate.

Han Min knew Long Chen would refuse, so she faced Long Chen without hesitation, and knelt down: "Long Chen, I beg you, let me move in. I promise not to do anything that would make it difficult for you.

I know I’ve done too much in the past that made you uncomfortable. Now, I realize my mistakes. Li Shiqi doesn’t want me, and I have no money. Now, I can only come here shamelessly. If you don’t take me in, I really don’t know what I should do."

As Long Chen listened to Han Min, he also listened to her inner voice.

In her heart, there was not a trace of remorse, not a single bit.

If Long Chen didn’t possess the Heart Observation Technique, he might really have been deceived by Han Min.

"You don’t need to kneel to me; you are my elder, and I am your junior. There’s really no need for this."

Long Chen reached out and helped Han Min up.

"So, does this mean you agree to let me move in?" Han Min asked anxiously.

"I didn’t say that," Long Chen said. "Where did the eighty million you took from me recently go?"

"All that money went to Li Shiqi—used to fill the gaps in his company. Just mentioning this frustrates me. That heartless man, after I helped him so much, even threatening Yuechan at her company to get that money, now thinking about it, it makes my face burn, it was so wrong."

Han Min was grinding her teeth in anger.

Mentioning this made her truly angry.

But Han Min was angry because she gave all the money to Li Shiqi, not because she felt guilty towards Li Yuexin.

The two are worlds apart.

But Li Yuexin and Li Yuechan didn’t know what Han Min was thinking; seeing Han Min had knelt down, as her biological daughters, they couldn’t help but feel soft-hearted.

"Mom, do you really realize what you’ve done wrong?" Li Yuexin asked.

"From the moment your father hit me, I knew. No matter how much I sacrificed for him, he would never appreciate it.

Thinking about how, for his sake, I repeatedly hurt you both really tears my heart apart. So, even if you don’t take me in today, I can understand."

Han Min’s tears kept falling.

Such acting, truly Divine Transformation.

Only Long Chen knew that it was all an act.

"Aunt Han, moving in is not possible, but I can lend you money to buy or rent a place. What do you think?" Long Chen stared at Han Min.

Hearing this, Han Min immediately said, "How can I still ask for your money? I absolutely can’t do that, and besides, I really want to mend the relationship with Yuechan and Yuexin. After all, there’s a bond between us we can’t sever and I want to genuinely make amends."

"Mom, have you really thought it through?" Li Yuechan’s eyes started to moisten, obviously completely softening.

Han Min was cunning, immediately filling Li Yuechan with sweet words.

Li Yuechan couldn’t hold back her tears and hugged Han Min.

Li Yuexin was the same; both sisters were deeply moved by Han Min’s apparent turnaround.

Seeing this, Long Chen truly found it hard to say anything else.

After all, neither of the women, unlike him, knew the Heart Observation Technique, nor could they hear Han Min’s true thoughts.

Han Min’s acting was indeed impressive.

Li Yuechan sniffled and slowly turned to Long Chen, softly saying, "I know it’s very hard for you to accept mom, and I won’t push you or bear to distress you. Therefore, I want to take mom to rent a place. Once everything settles down and everyone’s relations have somewhat mended, if then you’re willing to let mom come back, we can move back home. What do you say?"

"Yuechan, what do you mean by that?"

Long Chen stared at Li Yuechan.

Li Yuechan hurriedly said, "Husband, I didn’t mean anything else. I just don’t want to make things difficult for you or affect our relationship or bring up any grudges".

"Sister, brother-in-law, she really means just that, don’t think too much. In sister’s heart, you are the most important," Li Yuexin hurriedly said.

She was also worried that Long Chen might misunderstand Li Yuechan.

Long Chen didn’t want Li Yuechan to leave this home. He looked at Han Min and weighed his options.

After a moment, Long Chen said, "Aunt Han can move in, but we will be vigilantes first, gentlefolk later. Aunt Han, if I ever find you scheming again, I’ll ask you to leave my home immediately.

Of course, if you truly reform, I will respect you just as I did long ago."

These final words were intended for the ears of Li Yuechan and her sister.

As for Han Min, Long Chen didn’t believe she would truly reform.

Seeing Long Chen agree, Han Min was secretly thrilled and said, "Xiaochen, I knew you were a kind-hearted person. Don’t worry, I will start anew and won’t cause you any trouble."

"Alright, Yuechan and Yuexin, why don’t you take her to arrange a room," Long Chen said.

"Thank you, husband," Li Yuechan said excitedly, hugging Long Chen.

Then, the two led Han Min upstairs to tidy up a room.

Zhao Churan stood up, lightly biting her lip, hesitating to speak.

"Churan, what’s wrong?"

Long Chen asked gently.

"Husband, should I go and buy a new apartment outside?"

Zhao Churan whispered.

"That won’t do, you can’t," Long Chen immediately refused.

Zhao Churan gave a bitter smile and said, "Staying here, I might be a big trouble for you all because Han Min definitely won’t like me. She won’t accept that besides Yuechan, there is also me. You know what I’m talking about, so... I’ll just move out. I won’t make things difficult for you. If you miss me, you can come and find me. I am still me, and no matter what happens, I will continue to love you as I always have, eternally your woman."

"Churan, what nonsense are you talking about?" Long Chen reached out and hugged Zhao Churan, saying softly, "Even if the sky were falling, you’d still be my woman. I won’t let anyone bully you. In the future, I will give you a status; you will be my lawful wife outright, and no one dare say otherwise.

As for now, you don’t need to go anywhere. I will tell Han Min that Zhao Churan is my woman. If she can’t accept that, she’d better leave my house."

"Husband, you’re so good to me."

Zhao Churan wept with joy.

What she wanted was just an affirmation from Long Chen.

"Churan, don’t ever say things like you did just now again. How could I bear to let you go? And besides, I promised your parents I’ll make you happy and not let you suffer. That wasn’t just to appease them, I was serious. Do you understand? If you say things like that again, I’ll be upset."

Long Chen stared at Zhao Churan.

Zhao Churan looked at Long Chen’s firm and sincere eyes, nodded vigorously and said, "Mm, husband, I know I was wrong. From now on, Churan will never say such things to upset you."

"Alright, go take a shower, my dear. Tonight, I want to see if your apology is sincere."

Long Chen grinned mischievously.

Zhao Churan blushed and responded coyly, "Whatever you say, husband. Anything you want."

"Really?"

"Mm, really, I can accept all of you."

"Then go, take a shower."

"Mm-hmm."

Zhao Churan happily headed to the bathroom.

Soon after, Li Yuechan came downstairs.

She sat next to Long Chen, took his hand, and whispered, "I know you agreed to let mom move in for my sake. Don’t worry, I will convince her not to be as horrible as before."

"Do you think she will change?" Long Chen looked at Li Yuechan.

"She kneeled before you, lowered her pride completely, just to seek forgiveness. She’s taken these steps, I think she genuinely wants to change. Otherwise, with mom’s proud temper, she definitely wouldn’t have acted like this. She probably really knows she was wrong."

Li Yuechan spoke softly.

"Hopefully that’s the case," Long Chen said slowly.

Long Chen couldn’t say Han Min wouldn’t change. He couldn’t tell Li Yuechan that he had the Heart Observation Technique and could see what she was truly thinking.

Saying it wouldn’t make Li Yuechan believe him; it might even cause misunderstandings and might lead to her actually moving out.

If Li Yuechan were to move out, Long Chen wouldn’t be happy, and that was not the result Long Chen wanted.

So, Long Chen temporarily suppressed his thoughts.

Though feeling frustrated, there seemed to be no better solution for now.

In the future, when Han Min couldn’t help but make a mistake, that would be the time to rightfully make her leave.

By then, both Li Yuechan and Li Yuexin would be completely disappointed in her, and everything would be perfectly resolved.

"Husband, no matter what, thank you for considering me. I wasn’t wrong about you; you are indeed the man worth entrusting my life to."

Li Yuechan leaned gently on Long Chen’s shoulder.

Long Chen lowered his head slightly, looking at Li Yuechan’s perfect face, and spoke softly, "Don’t worry too much. Whether your mom will change or not, time will prove everything. If she causes issues again, blurring the boundaries, then we’ll deal with it. What do you think?"

"If she goes back to being her old self, you won’t need to tell me to make her leave; I won’t be able to stand the old her either," Li Yuechan quickly said.

"Good, let’s not discuss this anymore. Let’s talk about you."

"What’s there to say about me?"

"There’s much to say, like I noticed recently, your slim waist seems stronger."

Long Chen reached out and gently pinched it.

Li Yuechan’s body trembled, she blushed slightly and playfully complained, "That’s because I’ve been exercising every day. Sadly, what’s the use of being strong when a certain someone isn’t interested? Days go by and you don’t come to my room."

"Weren’t you saying you had ’visitors’?"

"When the visitors weren’t around, you didn’t come either," Li Yuechan said somewhat resentfully.

"So you’re hoping that I’d come, right?"

"Hmph, I’m not talking to you anymore, I’m going to sleep."

Li Yuechan got up to leave.

She hadn’t taken more than a couple of steps when she suddenly stopped, turned around, and said, "I’ll be free the day after tomorrow, and by the way, Churan saying she’s not free tonight is just to fool you. Tonight, take good care of her."

Having said that, Li Yuechan then briskly went upstairs.

Watching Li Yuechan’s youthful and beautiful figure retreat, Long Chen’s gloominess dissipated quite a bit.

"Husband, are you done talking? Aren’t you coming in?"

Zhao Churan’s voice came suddenly.

Long Chen turned his head to see Zhao Churan poking out her head, blinking her bright eyes cutely at him.
