Chapter 865: Chapter 862: Special Assistant Leng, You’ve Ended Up in a Wolf’s Den (Chapters 859, 860, 861, and 862 Combined)

The couple fell asleep peacefully, however, Gu Chen was troubled with a headache.

In order to gather information for Lu Jinyang, Gu Chen brought Gu Li to seek help from someone, and this time, they happened to find a drunkard. Before they could say much, the drunkard insisted on drinking for fun.

Drinking wasn’t supposed to be an issue; Gu Chen could easily avoid it by claiming he just had stomach surgery. But somehow, the drunk directed his attention towards Gu Li.

Gu Li refused to drink, but the drunk explained that if each of them had a drink, he’d definitely help them out. That condition was very tempting. Almost as soon as he finished speaking, Gu Li picked up the drink and downed it in one go.

Downing the fifty-eight-degree liquor felt like burning the heart.

As for Gu Chen’s drink, there was no way to avoid it. Just as he tried to find a way to decline, a slender hand reached over again, took the drink, and drained it.

The cooperation was achieved, but Gu Chen’s head spun as he looked at the drunken, incoherent Gu Li.

Returning to the hotel with great difficulty, Gu Chen was drenched in sweat, and Gu Li, unaware of her actions, kept moving closer to him. That feeling was driving him crazy.

At this moment, Gu Chen felt like he was about to lose his mind.

After placing Gu Li on the bed, he took off her shoes, tucked her in, and then turned towards the bathroom, grabbed a wet towel, and proceeded to wipe her face.

Gu Li had always been a good drinker; the instances of her being drunk could be counted on one hand. Moreover, Gu Chen had never seen Gu Li throw up, though she did occasionally go wild when drunk.

While he wiped her face, her hand restlessly patted his hand, mumbling incomprehensible words.

As time passed slowly, Gu Chen noticed the temperature of his palm rising, the force pulling his hand had long disappeared, yet his hand remained in place.

Realizing the issue, Gu Chen withdrew his hand as if shocked by electricity, feeling ashamed of his behavior. He strode into the bathroom, his retreating figure resembling an escape.

The shower lasted an entire thirty minutes before the water’s sound ceased.

When Gu Chen emerged from the bathroom, he unexpectedly donned the hotel’s bathrobe. Standing at the bedside for quite a while, he waited until her silhouette was asleep before slowly lying down.

This night was destined to be hard.

After sleeping for an indeterminate amount of time, in a half-conscious state, he felt something moving on him and suddenly woke up, witnessing a scene he’d never forget.

Unbeknownst to him, Gu Li woke up at some point, more accurately, half-drunk and half-awake.

Gu Chen was startled and quickly pushed her away, switched on the light.

What he saw was alarming, Gu Li’s face was unusually red, her gaze dazed, resembling the effects of having taken those drugs.

Without a moment of hesitation, Gu Chen carried her to the bathtub and turned on the cold water, dousing her.

Initially, Gu Li shivered from the cold water, squinting her eyes and yelling loudly. Gu Chen couldn’t bear it, so he adjusted the water temperature a bit warmer. Against expectations, Gu Li leaned back against the tub and fell asleep, her head tilted back.

Gu Chen instinctively swallowed his saliva, rarely cursing aloud.

No need to guess, this evening would likely entail several more cold showers. During such cold weather, it was truly torturous.

Once she recovered, he intended to return to the bathroom for another shower, but he discovered this troublesome little enchantress persistently held onto his hand.

Gu Chen’s inner world was collapsing.

Regardless of whether Gu Li could hear him, he spoke to her, "If you don’t let go, I won’t be polite!"

Who would have thought, Gu Li, amidst her confusion, suddenly peeked at him through a slit and coquettishly asked, "How will you be impolite?"

"Damn it!"

Gu Chen cursed under his breath, determination flashed through his eyes, he leaned closer to her, coaxing, "If I’m impolite to you, you can’t blame me~"

She nodded, semi-understanding, "I won’t blame you~"

...

The next day, Gu Chen was the first to awaken. Somehow, upon seeing her, he suddenly felt guilty. Without a second’s thought, he dressed and left the room, opting to evade post-event concerns.

Coincidentally, he hadn’t visited Fan Min in a few days, providing him an excuse to go check on the situation there.

With that in mind, Gu Chen hastily made his exit.

After departing from Fan Min’s place, a whole day had passed. Gu Chen found a spot, ordered a dish, eating while contemplating his next move. However, he hadn’t yet formulated a plan when Lu Jinyang called.

He answered, Lu Jinyang’s voice transmitted from the other end, "Gu Chen, you don’t need to worry about Fan Min anymore. Go look for the whereabouts of Old Master Xiao, you must find him. Furthermore, I’ll send you more information; you must gather all the individuals on the list, leaving none out."

Gu Chen frowned, "Why is this?"

"It’s hard to explain over the phone; once you find them, bring them back together."

"Alright."

Gu Chen sighed, thinking Lu Jinyang’s call came at a perfect time, providing him an excuse not to return to the hotel.

-

In a remote village in the United States, a few elderly newcomers went out together every day, one of whom was the Xiao Family’s Old Man they were looking for.

Unlike during the Xiao Family reunion, Old Man Xiao’s face was now full of smiles, looking lively rather than like a stiff old man.

"Old Xiao, now that the brothers are finally together, should we wash our hands of everything, or should we expand our past endeavors?" one of the accompanying elderly men asked.

Old Man Xiao said, "Having barely escaped with our lives, our good days are numbered, let’s just live each day as it comes."

When Xiao Sewei put him in this place, Old Man Xiao used the connection method among them to call everyone over and escaped with his life. Compared to the others, he was definitely more cautious with his life.

He gazed into the distance, eyes deep, lost in thought.

-

A month passed, and Qin Huaixin reached her due date, while Xiao Qing was already over seven months pregnant, their bellies so big that even a large coat couldn’t hide them.

Leng Yixing applied for paternity leave from Lu Jinyang, only to be denied!

The reason: Just show up when your wife is giving birth.

Seeing Lu Jinyang was no help, Leng Yixing switched his plea to Xiao Qing, pitifully saying, "Sister-in-law, you know Xin’er’s bad temper, if I don’t take leave early to be with her..."

He left the last half of the sentence for Xiao Qing to imagine herself.

But what did he know, having been with Lu Jinyang for a long time, Xiao Qing was influenced by him, and she said, "Why don’t you let Xin’er come and stay with me, we can watch out for each other."

Leng Yixing knew it was hopeless the moment he heard this, immediately feeling disheartened, "Lu Jinyang, I feel like our brotherhood is doomed to end soon."

"No worries, I still have Gu Chen."

Leng Yixing: "..." 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Xiao Qing laughed, "Special Assistant Leng, you walked into the wolf’s den."

Leng Yixing helplessly spread his hands. Indeed, Lu Jinyang was not only a capitalist but also a devious boss who set up his brothers.

"Forget it, let Xin’er stay with you."

But just as he finished speaking, Lu Jinyang, who refused to grant his leave earlier, suddenly came around, "Go and hand over the work tomorrow, leave whenever it’s done."

Leng Yixing looked at him in disbelief, "Are you serious?"

"You can choose not to believe it, but your wife can’t come to me."

Leng Yixing: "!!!" Was it because he didn’t want Xin’er to come and stay with Xiao Qing?

He glanced at Xiao Qing, who had an expression of "I knew this would happen", leaving him at a loss whether to laugh or cry. The way this couple interacted was truly...

As soon as Leng Yixing left, Lu Jinyang walked over to Xiao Qing.

His aura was so overwhelming that Xiao Qing couldn’t help but step back, retreating several steps until she could retreat no further, she said, "Lu Jinyang, I’m helping you."

"Oh?"

"Look, Special Assistant Leng has done so much for you, if you won’t even grant him this little time off, who would dare to work as your assistant in the future? Wouldn’t you be exhausted?"

Lu Jinyang nodded in agreement, "You make a valid point."

Xiao Qing gave him a slight smile, "Of course. Hubby, the weather is nice today, shall we go for a walk?"

"After dinner, I’ll take you to the new villa." He originally planned to move there after the two kids started school, but seeing as the start of school coincided with Xiao Qing’s due date, he now planned to move earlier.

"Great, Da Bao and Xiao Bao will be starting school soon, it’s good for them to get familiar with the place in advance."

Ye Han, happily playing with the two kids, pulled a face as soon as she heard Lu Jinyang mention taking them to the villa, "I’m not going, you guys go."

The villa gave her a psychological shadow, she still felt panicked thinking about being stuck there by Lu Jinyang.

Xiao Qing couldn’t help but laugh, "Mom, Da Bao and Xiao Bao’s school is right next to the villa, you know that. If they don’t start school soon, they won’t be able to attend kindergarten."

"It’s perfect if they don’t! My two grandkids are so outstanding, they’ll skip grades in elementary and middle school anyway!"

Lu Jinyang lazily leaned back on the sofa and said leisurely, "They’re my kids, and I’ll decide if they skip grades."

Hearing this, Xiao Qing discreetly tugged on his sleeve, he was truly someone who didn’t fear making things worse, yet at this time, he still insisted on contradicting his mother, his emotional intelligence was indeed concerning.

Sure enough, as soon as Lu Jinyang finished speaking, they heard Ye Han’s voice, filled with rage, "Qingqing, look at this, this is my son! Fine, I won’t deal with your matters anymore, tomorrow your dad and I will go on a world tour!"

Xiao Qing pressed her temples in frustration, unable to think of a better solution before seeing Ye Han turn and leave.
