Chapter 133: Encountering Sister-in-law

After rinsing off, they returned to the bed.

Wen Yao, like a lazy kitten, curled up in Li Chen’s arms with a content smile on her face and said, "Brother Chen, I really love it when you hold me, it’s so comforting, so safe."

Li Chen was enjoying the girl’s youthful body, her skin soft as silk satin, a beautiful touch.

Upon hearing this, something suddenly stirred in his heart.

"Yaoyao, how about we rent a place outside for now? When you don’t want to stay at school, you can stay there instead, so we won’t have to always come to a hotel."

Wen Yao, who had been lying with her back to him, suddenly turned around.

Her innocent face lit up with uncontainable joy, but then darkened as she considered the property prices in Dragon City. Even a modest apartment would cost at least thirty thousand a year.

She knew that Li Chen hadn’t been working long and didn’t want him to spend so much.

"Yaoyao wants to be with Brother Chen, but I’m content just to be by your side occasionally. There’s no need to rent an apartment," Wen Yao hesitated before saying.

"Silly girl, always saying the opposite of what you mean!"

Li Chen kissed her fair forehead.

Wen Yao’s changing expressions did not escape his eyes—how could he not see what she was hesitating about?

"Don’t worry, Brother Chen has money."

He wouldn’t have dared to say such words before, but after the scar-removing ointment was produced and judging by Jiang Qing’s reaction, it was clear that it was selling well and at a high price.

With this new income, what’s a little rent?

Wen Yao was truly tempted.

In Li Chen’s eyes, it may just be about renting an apartment, but to her, it was their love nest.

"Brother Chen, I’ve received scholarships these past two years and have saved some money—let me give it all to you!"

"No need, Brother Chen really does have money."n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Li Chen felt helpless.

How could there still be such naive girls?

A deep sense of affection rose within his heart.

They slept soundly that night.

The next morning, after another lovely time together, they left the hotel, hand in hand.

After breakfast, they went to look for an apartment together.

Having spent the morning searching, Li Chen finally insisted on a nice condo they could move into immediately. After some haggling, the annual rent came to thirty-six thousand.

Once the payment was made and keys obtained, they went out to buy some essentials for daily life.

After a lengthy shopping trip laden with bags, they waited by the roadside for a taxi. Li Chen glanced at the woman next to him and felt a momentary domestic bliss of cohabitation.

Just then, a BMW 5 Series pulled up in front of them.

As the window rolled down, Li Chen saw a familiar face.

Who could it be but Shen Mengxue?

"Li Chen!"

Shen Mengxue looked at Li Chen, then at the heavily laden pair, with a hint of reproach in her beautiful eyes.

"Sister-in-law!"

Li Chen hadn’t expected to encounter his sister-in-law on such an occasion, feeling like he’d been caught red-handed, instinctively feeling guilty.

"Brother Chen, who is this?"

Wen Yao was startled by Shen Mengxue, turning to Li Chen.

She was also pretty, sweet, and innocent, but still just a student; her youthful air couldn’t match Shen Mengxue’s dazzling glow.

"I’m Li Chen’s sister-in-law."

Before Li Chen could say anything, Shen Mengxue had replied, then parked the car by the roadside and got out.

The moment she took off her sunglasses, it caused a ripple of admiration around.

Experience tales at empire

"Sis..."

Wen Yao paused for a second, surprised by Shen Mengxue’s identity.

At a loss for words, she instinctively exclaimed, "Sister, you’re so beautiful!"

"You’re very beautiful too. I didn’t know Li Chen had such a pretty female friend, and he never told me," said Shen Mengxue, her glance at Li Chen fraught with reproach.

Li Chen could clearly feel the strong jealousy in her tone, like a vat of vinegar overturned.

"Right, where are you two headed? Let me drive you," Shen Mengxue quickly composed herself.

"Sister-in-law, it’s really not necessary..."

Where would Li Chen dare to let Shen Mengxue drive them?

Feeling caught, he was already struggling with guilt. If she knew he was renting another place outside, who knew what she would think.

"Okay! Then I won’t disturb you two," Shen Mengxue said with a meaningful smile, got back in the car, and drove off.

As the car vanished at the end of the street, Li Chen’s heart remained unsettled for a long time.

He couldn’t guess what his sister-in-law might be thinking.

"Brother Chen, your sister-in-law is so beautiful, like a star," Wen Yao said, unaware that this ’sister-in-law’ was actually her boyfriend’s sister-in-law.

Li Chen offered no explanation. Instead, he accompanied Wen Yao back to the rented apartment, got everything settled, and it was almost five o’clock.

"Yaoyao, I need to go back. Are you returning to school?" Li Chen recalled the wistful look his sister-in-law had given before leaving and couldn’t let go of the feeling.

"Yeah!" Wen Yao nodded, none the wiser.

After dropping Wen Yao off at school, Li Chen didn’t delay any further and went straight home.

Jiang Qing hadn’t returned yet. Only Shen Mengxue was at home, watching TV on the couch.

"Sister-in-law!"

"Hmm!"

Shen Mengxue turned to glance at him, gave a noncommittal response, and stayed put.

Li Chen knew his sister-in-law must be upset about earlier, so he quickly walked over and swept her graceful form into his arms.

Shen Mengxue struggled slightly, but couldn’t resist Li Chen and soon gave in, her eyes becoming a bit red.
