This al was delightful for the three of them, with much talking and laughing.
When Zhao Jinxi asked, Liu Sanming briefly talked about the Daoist Sect conference.
He didn't ntion becoming the newcor king, only that he taught a lesson to two troublemakers, intimidating his enemies.
Zhao Xue and Zhao Jinxi were both smart won, and while they praised Liu Sanming's prowess, they could guess there were many hidden dangers involved.
After the al, the sisters went to wash the dishes and clean the kitchen.
Liu Sanming went to the living room to watch TV.
The phone on the coffee table buzzed constantly with ssage and call reminders.
But he didn't glance at it even once.
He now had enough confidence to stay composed, or rather, put so people and matters temporarily aside.
All he wished for at this mont was to enjoy a pleasant and comfortable family life.
This was the warm harbor of Liu Sanming's heart.
Outside, there were treacherous plots and struggles for fa and fortune. He didn't want to listen or participate for now.
Zhao Jinxi was the first to co out of the kitchen, hopping over to sit beside Liu Sanming.
Before her sister ca over, she leaned in and gave Liu Sanming a quick peck on the cheek, then playfully poked his crotch.
"You create trouble, you're responsible to solve it. Whoever causes the problem should deal with it."
Liu Sanming teased.
"Hmph, just you wait, brother. Tonight, I'm going to drain you dry, make you beg for rcy, and see whether the trouble is big or my ways of solving it are bigger."
Zhao Jinxi quipped mischievously.
Liu Sanming burst into laughter at her words.
At that mont, Zhao Xue walked over with a plate of fruit in her hands.
"What are you two laughing about? Tell ."
"Brother Sanming said he earned a bonus this ti and wants to give us red envelopes. I said the minimum should be 6,666, but he said that's too little and decided on 8,888 each."
Zhao Jinxi couldn't help but giggle and cover her mouth after she said this.
Liu Sanming, hearing this, imdiately pretended to be astonished, turning to tickle Zhao Jinxi on the waist!
"You little girl, naming 8,888 right away! Sister-in-law wouldn't be so harsh, right, sister-in-law?"
After tickling Zhao Jinxi, Liu Sanming looked at Zhao Xue with a smile.
"Right, I'm not that harsh. I only want 88; the rest you can give to Jinxi. She's the little princess of our family, after all, and princesses need to be pampered."
Zhao Xue said seriously.
Her words sent Zhao Jinxi into another fit of happy laughter, while Liu Sanming feigned being the wronged fool, beating his chest and lanting being tricked.
The living room was filled with cheerful laughter and chatter.
Compared to the honor and status at the Daoist Sect conference, this was the life Liu Sanming preferred.
But then there was a knock at the door.
Liu Sanming was instantly a bit annoyed, not knowing who was visiting from outside.
But soone visiting at this ti was really dampening his spirits.
He was busy teasing two beautiful won at ho, and any visitor was an eyesore.
"Brother, who's here? I'll go check."
Zhao Jinxi stood up and said.
"It should be soone visiting Sanming. Let's open the door first and then we can go to our room later, so we're not in the way."
Zhao Xue suggested sensibly.
"Co on, you two are the mistresses of this house; anyone can be in the way, but you won't be."
Liu Sanming quickly added.
With that, he got up and headed to the door, calling out with so displeasure, "Who is it? Visiting in broad daylight?"
"Yes, visiting and also dropping by to see this year's newcor king, bring so gifts, and build so connections."
A familiar voice, with a playful tone, rang out.
Hearing it, Liu Sanming's annoyance vanished, and a smile crept onto his face.
It was Sun Yuanyuan's voice.
Among the won by his side, if ranked by intimacy, Sun Yuanyuan was definitely in the top five.
"So it's Sister Sun! Your little brother is opening the door right now!"
Liu Sanming said with a smile as he walked over to open the door.
But once the door opened, he was a bit dumbfounded...
Sun Yuanyuan was indeed standing outside.
She was wearing a fitting black long dress with a white shawl over it, fashionable yet elegant. Her figure was graceful and slender, and her face was beautiful and charming, truly captivating.
Beside Sun Yuanyuan stood another person.
This person turned out to be a middle-aged woman.
Liu Sanming didn't recognize her, but it was obvious she was no ordinary person.
She was adorned with exotic pearls, large wild pearl earrings, an icy green jade pendant, and a thick enaled gold bangle.
She wore a silk long dress with golden embroidery, depicting peonies, showcasing high craftsmanship, and was obviously handmade, costly indeed.
According to Liu Sanming's perception, he could judge the woman was around forty-five years old based on her vitality.
Yet looking at her, she appeared like a woman in her early thirties, well-maintained, with fair and smooth skin without wrinkles, bright and clear-eyed, with no dullness or murkiness.
Her figure was long and graceful, curvy and well-endowed, extrely alluring.
She was truly a top-notch mature beauty.
Even compared to Li Qiuyun, it was like comparing a peony to a hibiscus, both equally matched.
What was stranger was that Liu Sanming found this beautiful woman sohow familiar.
But he couldn't recall seeing her anywhere before...
"And this is?"
Liu Sanming asked curiously.
Sun Yuanyuan imdiately smiled. She winked secretly at Liu Sanming and said, "This is Madam Lin from the Lin Family, Lin Xi and Lin Langyuan's mother, Madam Lu Lian. She made a special visit with today, so Sanming, you have to give Madam Lin so face."
Only then did Liu Sanming suddenly realize.
No wonder she seed sowhat familiar; she was Lin Xi and Lin Langyuan's mother.
Looking now, her eyebrows indeed held so resemblance.
Although Lin Xi and Lin Langyuan were notorious young heirs with poor conduct, their looks were exceptionally high.
It seed they inherited the excellent genes from Lu Lian.
As the saying goes, it's better to resolve enmities than to start them.
Though the Lin Family had displeased Liu Sanming, he understood that continuing to fight against a top-tier family like the Lin's offered no benefits.
Knowing when to back off was the right choice.
Even though he was the Daoist Sect conference newcor king, gaining fa, he remained a rising star compared to the Lin Family.
Their decades of foundation far surpassed his.
Even if they couldn't take him down, it wouldn't be hard for them to play dirty tricks or get in his way.
Liu Sanming always rembered the classic saying by the founding father: Make fewer enemies and more friends to accomplish great things.
Since the Lin Family had Madam Lu Lian pay a personal visit, he might as well go with the flow and reconcile.
He gave a cheeky smile and warmly extended his hand to Lu Lian.
"I'm sorry for not welcoming you more readily, Madam Lin. I'm genuinely delighted by your visit. I've caused so trouble for the Lin Family in the past; please pardon . How are the two young gentlen's health now?"
"Dr. Liu is truly too polite and gracious. My two sons are quite the handful, and they troubled you yet you still care about them, truly humbling for . Both are recovering well, thanks to your earlier leniency, Dr. Liu."
Lu Lian said gently with a smile, extending her hand to shake Liu Sanming's.
Her hand was warm and soft, seemingly boneless, truly exquisite.
Liu Sanming couldn't help but feel a tingle in his heart.
If he could win over this Madam Lin, it would truly be satisfying...
