The Rise of Dragon Son-in-Law

Li Yuechan's face also turned slightly red; she gently closed her eyes, and her long eyelashes trembled faintly.

Long Chen, with a tender motion, massaged Li Yuechan's lower abdomen, secretly channeling the mysterious energy within his body in conjunction with a special technique.

This method was also passed down from the Medical Immortal Treasure Manual.

Li Yuechan, feeling so comfortable, couldn't help but let out a hum. After making a sound, she felt incredibly shy but also didn't want Long Chen to stop.

Because she felt her stomach pain had truly ceased; not only did it not hurt but it was also extremely comfortable.

After massaging for a while, Long Chen's hands moved from Li Yuechan's lower abdomen, releasing tension in other parts of her body as well.

Li Yuechan's face grew more and more flushed.

Finally, she couldn't resist pushing Long Chen away and hid under the covers.

"What's wrong?"

Li Xiu was puzzled, "Did I massage you too hard?"

"No… it's not that, your massage was very good, I just don't want to continue."

Li Yuechan nervously said.

"Okay, then you have a good sleep, and I will rest as well."

Long Chen returned to his own sleeping mat and lay down.

Li Yuechan stealthily glanced at Long Chen, seeing him silently return to the mat and lay down; she felt a pang of guilt.

After contemplating a bit, Li Yuechan asked softly, "Is the sleeping mat too hard and cold?"

"Not at all, I think it's quite comfortable."

Long Chen said instinctively.

"Oh, then you can sleep there in the future."

Li Yuechan's tone suddenly became cold.

Long Chen was stunned for a moment, sensing something was amiss.

After thinking carefully, Long Chen suddenly realized, "Wife, the mat is too cold and hard, I don't want to sleep on the mat anymore."

"Too late."

Li Yuechan coldly replied, but out of Li Xiu's sight, the corners of her lips quietly curled into a stunningly beautiful arc.

Long Chen was heartbroken and cursed himself for being slow to respond, missing a great opportunity.

...

The next day, early in the morning, Li Yuexin carefully dressed up and indeed acquired a bit of the aura of a capable businesswoman.

"Mom, does this look okay?"

Li Yuexin twirled in front of Han Min.

"Beautiful, truly beautiful, this aura is simply exceptional, Yuexin, the hopes of our family rest on you, perform well and sign that contract."

Han Min helped Li Yuexin tidy her collar, which didn't really need any adjusting, with a beaming smile.

"Mom, Dad, don't worry, I will definitely succeed, just stay at home and wait for my good news, I'm off."

Li Yuexin left home spiritedly.

Li Shiqi and Han Min sat on the sofa, both full of smiles.

"Yuexin is truly promising; in the future, our family might need to rely on her."

Han Min chuckled.

"I, Li Shiqi's daughter, is of course extraordinary. However, speaking of which, if our family's elder hadn't accidentally become a vegetative, the Li Family would certainly not have fallen like this, and we wouldn't need to struggle so hard for the Wanxing Group project."

Li Shiqi sighed.

Beside him, Long Chen overheard this, suddenly recalling his sister's reminder to never leave the Li Family, no matter what.

Since the marriage between him and Li Yuechan was arranged by the elders, the words of his grandfather before his passing must have had a deeper implication, probably concerning the comatose elder of the Li Family.

"Perhaps there are some clues from the state of the Li Family's elder."

Long Chen thought to himself.

Right then, Long Chen made a decision; he decided to try and wake the comatose elder of the Li Family.

"Dad, grandfather has been unconscious for over half a year, what exactly is the cause?"

Li Xiu inquired.

"It was a car accident, doesn't everyone know that? As a son-in-law of the Li Family, you don't even know this."

Li Shiqi glanced at Long Chen, his gaze somewhat cold.

"Is there no other reason?"

"There isn't, you don't need to worry about this issue, Long Chen, you should be more concerned about yourself. We had an agreement beforehand, if you can't secure the Wanxing project, you would leave the Li Family by yourself. Now, I think it's time for you to fulfill your promise."

Li Shiqi sternly said.

"Don't panic, that project, Yuexin couldn't secure it. Until the very last moment, nobody knows the outcome," Long Chen was very composed.

"What do you mean? Are you cursing our Li Family to fall?"

Li Shiqi suddenly stood up.

"Not at all," Long Chen said. "I can be frank with you, that project was negotiated by me, and apart from the person I designated, nobody else would suffice, and the person I designated is Yuechan, not Li Yuexin."

"Nonsense, just yesterday I personally heard Yuexin call Wang Wanli, and Wang Wanli agreed, don't spread rumors here."

Li Shiqi coldly said.

"Some people are just jealous, desperate to cling on, claiming only your appointed person can sign the deal. You've really lost face, considering yourself even mightier than Wang Wanli? How pathetic."

Han Min sneered.

Long Chen frowned, Han Min's words were too harsh, making him very uncomfortable.

In the past, Long Chen had dreamt of the day he could fiercely slap Han Min's face.

But now, Long Chen was no longer eager because, sooner or later, Han Min would realize just how formidable her despised son-in-law really was.

Li Yuechan looked at Long Chen, feeling extremely conflicted.

Although Long Chen's words were in her favor,

she still felt embarrassed.

Because she felt that Long Chen was just pretending to be someone important, still putting on airs.

"I... I'm going to the company."

Li Yuechan wanted to leave.

"What company? You should wait here with us, patiently awaiting news. I want to see if the outcome is as Long Chen claimed. If Yuexin successfully signs the contract, then Long Chen must leave forever, no discussion whatsoever."

Li Shiqi said gravely.

"What if Yuexin fails to sign, and they insist that Yuechan must do it, Dad, what then?"

Long Chen countered.

"If that's the case, Yuechan will have full authority over the Wanxing department store project, and you won't need to leave. Moreover, I'll reward you with a million—will that suffice?"

Long Chen smiled, "Sufficient."

"Ha, such delusional confidence, just a clown."

Han Min disdainfully said.

"Long Chen, just keep quiet, aren't you embarrassed enough?"

Li Yuechan's eyes teared up as she sternly glared at Long Chen.

"I won't speak anymore."

Long Chen gave a bitter smile, too weary to argue further with Han Min, patiently waiting instead.

Suddenly, two hours later, Li Shiqi's phone rang.

He picked up and saw it was a call from Li Yuexin. Excited, Li Shiqi said, "It's Yuexin's call, surely she has signed the contract successfully."

After speaking, Li Shiqi answered the call, even purposely activating the speakerphone and provocatively glancing at Long Chen before asking, "Yuexin, how did it go?"

"Dad, I... I don't know what happened, Wanxing wouldn't sign with me, they specifically asked for... for sister, they explicitly stated that no one but her could sign the contract."

On the phone, Li Yuexin's voice was filled with grievance.

Boom.

Li Shiqi stood there, thunderstruck.
