Chapter 192: Chapter 190: A Call of Sister-in-law, a Lifetime of Sisterhood

Xia Ling exhaled with a fragrant breath, her words tinged with a playful naivety.

Long Chen looked at her, a bit excited.

"I suspect you’re implying something, but I have no evidence,"

Long Chen teased.

Xia Ling rolled her eyes at Long Chen, "Is this what you call implying? I think it can’t even be called implying, but an explicit hint."

"Really? Well, some other time then, I have things to do, I must be off."

Long Chen planned to make a quick exit.

Xia Ling anxiously grabbed onto Long Chen, pleading pitifully, "You want to run away again, can’t you just not go? The Nangong Family and the Yang Family are both eyeing us like tigers, who knows when they might attack, can you bear to leave me alone to face this storm?"

"I am the storm here, are you willing to face my storm?"

"If it’s your storm, then I gladly accept,"

Xia Ling blinked her alluring eyes.

Long Chen was taken aback for a moment, then he said, "Then I’ll come to keep you company tonight and treat you to a big meal, but now I have to make a trip to the Elixir Factory."

"Okay then, but if you dare to con me, I will bite you to death."

Xia Ling threatened menacingly.

"I won’t con you, I’m off now."

Long Chen waved his hand and turned to leave.

Xia Ling watched Long Chen’s retreating back, with a sweet smile on her lips.

She knew full well, already fantasizing about what might happen after a cozy evening meal.

So, Xia Ling was filled with anticipation.

For certain matters, Xia Ling had long been psychologically prepared and was very much looking forward to their arrival.

Xia Ling silently prayed that nothing would go awry.

...

After Long Chen left, he went to the Dragon Shadow Security Company and summoned all the staff to the Elixir Factory.

He had them train at the Elixir Factory and protect it.

Under Long Chen’s training, their fighting ability had modestly developed.

They could already handle the average Martial Arts practitioner.

But this was still far from strong enough.

At the Elixir Factory, Long Chen gave them further guidance to enhance their strength.

With the breathing techniques, their strength improved rapidly day by day.

As night fell,

Long Chen informed Li Yuechan and Zhao Churan at home, then went to pick up Xia Ling from work at Dragon Doctor.

Xia Ling drove Long Chen herself, her car now a 6-million-plus FLL. Driving on the roads, it turned heads extraordinarily high.

Because in Qianzhou, those who could afford such a fine car were as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.

"What are you treating me to?"

In the car, Xia Ling asked Long Chen.

"Anything goes, you decide,"

Long Chen said with a smile.

"I’ll take you to a place."

Xia Ling accelerated.

Soon after, Xia Ling drove Long Chen to the lakeside of Qian Lake.

The lakeside at night was bustling.

A dazzling array of snacks and barbecues were on display.

When their car stopped outside a barbecue stand, it immediately attracted countless gazes.

"That car is freaking cool."

"Seriously cool. Driving such a great car, yet coming to night markets for barbecue... they’re just showing off, right?"

"I think so too."

"Maybe they’re just down to earth, speaking of which, the woman driving the car is really beautiful."

"You’re just jealous of the guy with her, right? Haha."

Nearby, there were all kinds of stares, some intentional, some not, either on Xia Ling or on her car.

"Too ostentatious."

Long Chen whispered to Xia Ling.

Xia Ling stuck out her tongue, looking adorably naive as she said, "I had no idea it would be like this, I really didn’t want to show off at all."

"I’ll take your word for it."

Long Chen laughed.

"Let’s order, let’s order."

Xia Ling took the menu from the boss and began to order, and she ordered a dozen beers too.

"You still have to drive later, and yet you want to drink."

"Eating barbecue without beer is soulless. The car will be fine; I’ll get a designated driver later," Xia Ling said with a smile.

"Alright then."

"Hey, do you seldom come to places like this?" Xia Ling sat down next to Long Chen, leaning gently on his shoulder.

Long Chen put his arm around Xia Ling’s waist, smiling, "Indeed, I hardly come here."

"I knew you wouldn’t frequent this kind of place. Is it because it’s too cheap, or do you think it’s unclean?" Xia Ling asked.

"Neither," Long Chen said softly. "In the past, every time I passed by here, I really wanted to come and enjoy some barbecue and a little drink, but I had no money. All I could do was stand at a distance and smell the aroma of the barbecue."

"Really? You’re bluffing, right?"

Xia Ling was astonished.

"No bluffing," Long Chen replied. "When I married into the Li Family, I had no spare cash to spend here. Sigh, it’s embarrassing to say that when my grandfather was seriously ill and struggling on his deathbed, I couldn’t even borrow enough money for his medical expenses."

"Isn’t the Li Family very rich? To treat you like that, it’s really detestable!" Xia Ling clenched her fists, furrowing her brows, her eyes flickering with a cold glare.

The Xia Ling of today was no longer the person she had been before.

At this moment, in her heart, anyone who dared to bully Long Chen was going to face the most brutal punishment.

And now she had the power to do that.

Observing her reaction, Long Chen quickly smiled and said, "It’s all in the past now. Fortunately, back then, Yuechan helped me behind her family’s back. Otherwise, burdened with a mountain of debts, my sister and I would probably have been driven to our deaths."

"You have a sister? How come I’ve never heard you mention her?"

Xia Ling glared at Long Chen: "I’ve noticed, you never tell me anything!"

"Well, I just haven’t found the right opportunity," Long Chen chuckled awkwardly.

"I don’t care, you’re going to call your sister right now."

"All right, all right, I’m calling."

Long Chen found Long Xue’er’s number and dialed it.

Long Xue’er was surprised and happy to receive an unexpected call from Long Chen, "Brother!"

"Xue’er, have you gone to bed yet?" Long Chen asked.

"I haven’t slept yet; brother, it’s so noisy around you, are you outside?" Long Xue’er asked.

"Yeah, I’m out with a... a girlfriend, eating," Long Chen said.

"Hmph, you big playboy, be careful or I’ll rat you out to sister-in-law," Long Xue’er said coquettishly.

"Yes, rat him out, so he gets a beating when he goes back," Xia Ling, listening in, immediately said.

Long Xue’er jumped, then realizing, she hurriedly said, "Sister-in-law, I was just joking, I won’t tell."

Sister-in-law?

Xia Ling was taken aback.

Then she smiled wryly and said, "I’m not Li Yuechan, my name is Xia Ling."

"I know you’re not Yuechan sister-in-law, I can tell, but that doesn’t stop me from calling you sister-in-law. You’re all my sisters-in-law, hehe," Long Xue’er giggled.

"Haha, so it’s like that, what great news then, sister-in-law, we’re sisters for life. What’s your WeChat? I’ll add you as a friend," Xia Ling was over the moon, grinning from ear to ear.

"Have my brother send you my WeChat, sister-in-law, let’s video chat later," Long Xue’er said.

"Absolutely, hehe, I want to see you too," Xia Ling replied.

"Me too, I want to see sister-in-law," said Long Xue’er.

"Let’s end the call now, then, and connect on a video call," Xia Ling said prompting action, hanging up immediately and then asking Long Chen to recommend Long Xue’er’s WeChat to her.
