Chapter 229: Chapter 225: I Know I Was Wrong

"What did I say wrong?"

Li Yuechan was completely baffled.

"You shouldn’t have mentioned repaying the money.

Think about it, if he wanted you to repay him, he wouldn’t have lent you the money in the first place.

We’re talking about seventy or eighty million here, not just seven or eight thousand. He gave you that money purely because of you.

Now that you’ve mentioned repaying him, and given the friction between him and your aunt, I think he must feel very upset."

Zhao Churan spoke seriously.

Li Yuechan suddenly realized.

Recalling what she had just said and Long Chen’s reaction, she slapped her forehead and finally understood what had happened.

"It’s all my fault for speaking without thinking. What should I do now?"

Li Yuechan smiled bitterly.

"What else can you do? Just coax him," Zhao Churan said. "Have a serious talk with him, he probably won’t really be angry.

It’s not a big deal, but it can’t go unsaid, you know what I mean?"

"I understand, I’ll go right now."

Li Yuechan took a deep breath and stood up.

"Go on, have a good talk."

Zhao Churan waved her hand.

"If it doesn’t work, let us know and we’ll help you figure it out," Xia Ling added.

"Okay."

Li Yuechan took a step and walked upstairs, knocking on Long Chen’s door.

"Long Chen, can we talk?"

Li Yuechan said softly.

"Let’s talk tomorrow, I’m tired."

Long Chen replied indifferently.

Hearing Long Chen’s calm response, Li Yuechan felt somewhat uneasy.

"No, I need to talk to you tonight."

Li Yuechan’s tone was very firm.

Long Chen sighed and reluctantly opened the door.

Li Yuechan entered the room and closed the door.

"What do you want to talk about?"

Long Chen glanced at Li Yuechan.

Actually, Long Chen had a vague idea of what Li Yuechan wanted to discuss.

Li Yuechan sat down and gently leaned against Long Chen.

It took her a while to finally speak. "Earlier downstairs, I shouldn’t have spoken that way. I’m sorry, it was my mistake."

"What did you say?"

Long Chen pretended not to understand.

Li Yuechan bit her lip and whispered, "It’s about repaying the money. I know I was wrong."

"Wrong in what way?"

Long Chen asked.

Li Yuechan pouted, "You originally lent that money to my mom because you cared about me. I mentioned repaying you without any other intention, but I worried you might misunderstand. I didn’t mean anything else."

"I understand what you mean."

Long Chen smiled. "The fact that you came up here to talk to me about this shows you’ve thought things through. I’m not angry anymore."

"Really?"

Li Yuechan was taken aback.

"Really," Long Chen said, "I’m not that petty."

"Um, I really do realize my mistake, it’s all because I don’t know how to speak properly."

Li Yuechan hugged Long Chen’s arm.

Long Chen stretched out his hand to embrace Li Yuechan and said, "I’m just worried that you would hold a grudge against me over this little amount of money.

In fact, I don’t care about the money at all. When I mentioned the money to your mom, I wasn’t asking her to pay it back, but rather to get her to calm down a bit and not to always target me. There’s no other intention, you understand?"

Long Chen spoke earnestly.

Li Yuechan also understood Long Chen’s thoughts and said, "I won’t talk recklessly anymore. We both know my mom’s temper. Long Chen, don’t worry, from now on I’ll try to control her, and if I really can’t, then I’ll ask her to move out."

"Are you sure about this? Aren’t you afraid of being accused of being unfilial?" Long Chen asked with a smile.

"I’m not afraid," Li Yuechan said. "If it really comes to that, it would mean that my mom has done something unforgivable."

"I hope she really can start treating me like family. If she can’t do that, perhaps she is still looking for opportunities to break us up," Long Chen sighed.

"That shouldn’t happen anymore," Li Yuechan whispered. "Think about it, before she was trying everything to break us up because she thought others were richer than you. My mom is very mercenary.

But now she knows that you are the owner of Dragon Doctor, that you have extraordinary abilities and countless assets. She definitely won’t have those worries anymore and won’t think about splitting us up."

"Let’s hope that’s true," Long Chen said with a smile.

Yet in his heart, Long Chen was very clear that Han Min wouldn’t change.

Unless Li Yuechan’s birth father, in some aspects, completely devastated Han Min.

Otherwise, Han Min would always think about returning to Li Yuechan’s birth father’s side, and for that, she would spare no cost.

"Alright, let’s not talk about this anymore. Let’s talk about something else."

Li Yuechan lifted her eyes, looked at Long Chen seriously, and asked, "Why have you never thought about teasing me a bit, or about ’eating me up’? Does this mean you’re actually not interested in me?"

"Eh, what nonsense are you talking about? How did we get onto this topic?" Long Chen was stunned.

"I’ve wanted to ask you for a while now, not just now," Li Yuechan said somewhat resentfully. "Other men try every means to get their girlfriends into bed, but you, you just ignore me."

"The most beautiful things must be waited for until the most beautiful moment, just like fruit. If it’s not autumn yet and you forcefully pick and eat it, it won’t be sweet enough," Long Chen said seriously.

"Is that so?"

Li Yuechan was skeptical. "Then when do you think it will be sweet enough for us?"

"Let’s get through this busy period, and we should have a perfect wedding. Only then it will be the sweetest," Long Chen said.

Li Yuechan was momentarily stunned, then her eyes moistened with emotion. "You said it, I didn’t force you. If you don’t give me a wedding, don’t blame me for making a fool out of you."

"A gentleman’s promise is hard to break."

"I believe you, darling, you’re really wonderful."

...

The brief day passed quickly.

The next morning seemed ordinary, but unusual events were unfolding.

Indeed, these unusual events had begun yesterday.

Individuals from the Martial Alliance were conducting various detailed investigations on people around Long Chen.

Under careful analysis and planning, Cao Qiu quickly focused on Han Min, starting to formulate a detailed plan revolving around her.

In a certain office at the Martial Alliance.

Hua Qingfeng frowned deeply and said, "Brother Cao, you’re putting so much effort into this Han Min to use her against Long Chen. Wouldn’t all this be in vain? After all, Han Min is his mother-in-law, and Long Chen has the huge entity Dragon Doctor behind him. She most likely won’t agree to help us."

"Not necessarily," Cao Qiu said with a smile. "Though I haven’t completely understood Han Min’s information, I’ve grasped some key things.

I am certain that Han Min is an extremely mercenary person, with little ability but high aspirations, and she is ruthless. Such people are the easiest to exploit."
