Chapter 1177: Chapter 1149: Acceptance
“Darling, I’m back!”
Li Chen shouted loudly as soon as he opened the villa’s door.
However, what responded was silence.
After the last incident, the villa had been renovated and restored to its forr appearance. But Li Chen hadn’t been living there for a while, so he wasn’t aware of the renovation.
Still, seeing the house restored made him happy.
Li Chen suspiciously glanced around the living room. If they were back, there should be so noise, right?
He cautiously wandered in.
At a glance, Li Chen saw the two won sitting on the sofa, leisurely watching TV as if they hadn’t heard his shout at all.
He carefully moved his head closer to them and softly said, “Um, darling, I’m back?”
At this point, the two won seed to co to their senses, turning their heads to look at him.
Their gazes were piercing, making Li Chen feel a bit uncomfortable.
Yet, they still didn’t speak.
Being stared at like that, Li Chen didn’t know what was going on and felt awkward saying anything.
One of the two won couldn’t hold it in and burst out laughing.
Then, both won started laughing out loud.
“Qianqian, I told you, this guy would be shocked!”
“Sister Qing, you’re so good at this! It’s my first ti seeing Brother Cheen with that expression! Hahaha…”
Li Chen’s face darkened a bit as he said sinisterly, “Wow, you two brats tead up to scare the boss!”
“Um, Brother Cheen, it was Sister Qing’s idea, I only went along with it!” Wang Qianqian quickly distanced herself from the bla.
“Qianqian! You’re so disloyal!”
Li Chen turned a slightly sinister gaze to An Qing, “Hmm, one mastermind and one accomplice, seems like I need to punish you two for not respecting your husband’s authority.”
With that, amidst their startled cries, Li Chen lunged towards the sofa.
After a round of playful mischief, when both won were a bit disheveled and out of breath, Li Chen finally let them go.
Leaning against the sofa, thinking of sothing, Li Chen fell into silence.
“What’s wrong? Did you encounter sothing when you ca back early this ti?” An Qing asked, noticing Li Chen’s expression.
“Yeah.” Li Chen nodded, “You should have heard about Wan’er’s situation, right?”
“Yes,” An Qing said with a hint of jealousy, “Your childhood sweetheart, right?”
Li Chen silently nodded; this situation was difficult to explain: “Wan’er got hurt and is now undergoing healing at the base.”
“Wan’er got hurt?” Wang Qianqian, who knew Ouyang Wan’er, was a bit surprised by Li Chen’s words.
“Yes.” Li Chen recounted the Hongng Pavilion disciples’ incident on Beilang Mountain, not holding anything back from the two won.
“That’s how it is.” An Qin nodded, consoling him, “You shouldn’t bla yourself too much. After all, the responsibility doesn’t entirely fall on you.”
“But I feel it’s because of .” Li Chen took a pack of cigarettes from under the table, silently lighting one.
The two won, not knowing how to comfort him, silently joined him.
“Brother Cheen, smoke less. It’s bad for your health.”
Li Chen chuckled, “You know there’s an old general nad Zhang who indulged in every vice but lived past a hundred.”
Hearing Li Chen still in the mood for jokes, the two won were sowhat relieved.
After sitting for a while, Li Chen suddenly asked, “How long have Lin Yi and Xiaoxiao been gone?”
The question seed abrupt, but the two won imdiately understood Li Chen’s words.
“About half a year, since you disappeared last ti,” An Qing hesitated, then answered.
“Half a year.” Li Chen slightly raised his head, looking up, “Half a year… is quite a while.”
“Brother Cheen, do you want to bring them back?” Wang Qianqian asked.
“Yes.” Li Chen nodded, “I think, after being away so long and I’ve been back for quite a while, they should co back too.”
“So, I wanted to ask your opinions,” Li Chen said.
Wang Qianqian said, “Brother Cheen, back then Lin Yi and Xiaoxiao went to Mystic Star Sect to train for everyone’s sake, now that they’ve been gone so long, I think it’s ti to bring them back.”
Li Chen nodded, then glanced at An Qing.
“If you want to go, just go, why beat around the bush,” An Qing said, pouting.
Li Chen smiled, feeling very happy.
“That’s good.”
Li Chen was a little worried about possible conflicts between the girls, but now it seems he was overthinking it.
However, what he didn’t know was that An Qing and Wang Qianqian had struggled internally.
But thinking of Li Chen, that struggle gradually dissipated. They understood that a man like Li Chen would always have won around him. What they needed to do was be as accommodating as possible within their limits.
Love, after all, is about acceptance, right?
They truly loved this man, just as he would do anything for them, they too were willing to do anything for him.
The next morning, Li Chen left the villa early.
Not going to the Nether Army Base, but to a small courtyard near the old town.
This courtyard was once called a Haunted House by the locals, but after a sowhat quirky middle-aged man moved in, those bizarre happenings seed to stop.
Li Chen knocked on the door, only to find it unlocked, swinging open with his knock.
He stepped inside and headed to a house, knocking on the door again.
Yes, this ti the door was locked.
After a bit, a girl in white opened the door, showing a hint of fear on her face upon seeing Li Chen.
But Li Chen just smiled and greeted her, “Little Bai, long ti no see.”
Without waiting for a reaction, he stepped inside.
However, the scene inside left Li Chen speechless.
Fan Bayin was indeed holed up inside the house, but to Li Chen’s surprise, Shi Ying, the Old Devil, was also there, and they seed to get along well.
Why seed to get along well?
Because next to Fan Bayin was a computer, seemingly running so ga, and he was sitting with Shi Ying and another fiery figure at a table.
Li Chen cast a glance and couldn’t help but roll his eyes.
The three of them were playing “Fight the Landlord”!!
