Chapter 283 You Have Good Taste

In the small bedroom, the two of them held each other tight.

Just holding on, Li Chen felt very comfortable, very content, because he had confirmed that Sister Qian truly loved him, loved him deeply.

"Naughty brother, lying in your arms feels really good!"

"When can you sleep with sister again, huh? Sister really loves the feeling of your embrace, it makes me feel so secure..."

After embracing for a while, Lin Qian broke the silence.

She looked up, her eyes filled with anticipation, hoping for an affirming answer from her beloved.

At that moment, Li Chen really had the impulse to move in with her, to hold her every night as they slept.

But when he thought of his sister-in-law and Aunt Qing, his heart filled with reluctance.

He could never abandon his sister-in-law and Aunt Qing.

Suddenly, he felt really guilty towards her.

"Sister Qian, I will, I promise you..."

As he spoke, he gently lifted Lin Qian’s graceful body and kissed her tempting red lips.

After a long while, their lips parted, and Lin Qian, beaming with a smile, teased, "Naughty brother, as long as you love sister, that’s enough for me. Don’t overthink it, it’s pretty good this way too."

Li Chen did not respond but held her even tighter.

They reluctantly separated only when it was time to go to work.

Shortly after arriving at the clinic, Xu Jia came back too.

"What’s that nice smell? Little rascal, don’t tell me you couldn’t settle down during lunch break and ran off to find a woman?" Xu Jia said with a curious gaze.

"Nah, who could I go to when the teacher’s not around?" Li Chen chuckled awkwardly, hastily changing the subject, "Did the teacher go to him? How did it go?"

"He doesn’t want a divorce, but I’ve already made up my mind. If he really keeps pestering me, it’ll just end up in court. Anyway, I’m determined to divorce," Xu Jia declared resolutely.

They chatted briefly, and then the conversation stopped when a patient came in.

By the time they were free again, it was already late, and Xu Jia had to leave early to pick up her child.

When Li Chen got home from work, Shen Mengxue had already returned.

Jiang Qing was taking care of Han Jianye and mostly stayed at home these days, only occasionally visiting the beauty salon for a short while before returning.

"Xiao Chen, a few days ago, someone from the beauty salon inquired about the scar-removing ointment. The visitor was from Pfizer, and it seemed like they were interested in a partnership. What do you think?" Jiang Qing asked.

"Aunt Qing, I was actually going to talk to you about this." Li Chen said with a smile.

He had come back too late the day before to mention it.

He had planned to bring it up today, but Aunt Qing had beaten him to it.

After hearing what Li Chen had to say, Jiang Qing and Shen Mengxue were both surprised.

"So, you’re saying that the woman who drove you home that time is the president of Pfizer Biopharmaceuticals North China Region?" Jiang Qing asked in astonishment.

"I didn’t know at the time either, I found out later," Li Chen said with a wry smile, nodding.

Jiang Qing and Shen Mengxue both fell silent for a moment.

They were both somewhat taken aback.

"Xiao Chen, the scar ointment really does have extraordinary effects. Customers who have used it all speak highly of it. But selling it just at Aunt Qing’s beauty salon really isn’t as good as partnering with them,"

"You have such talent, and since they value you, Aunt Qing thinks you should seize this opportunity," Jiang Qing offered her candid advice.

During this time alone, just with this ointment, the beauty salon’s business had improved a lot.

But, now there was this opportunity, she didn’t want to hoard it to herself and let Li Chen miss out on a chance to make money.

After discussing for a while, the whole family was supportive.

Li Chen himself was also somewhat moved; after all, who doesn’t like making money?

All the women around him, even though many did not need him to provide for them, still, as a man, especially one who held strong traditional views on masculinity, who wouldn’t want their women to live a better life?

After talking for a while, he gradually firmed up his decision in his mind.

He’d find a good time to have a proper talk with Chen Wanqiu.

After taking a shower, he lay in bed.

Shen Mengxue soon sent a message.

Although they were under the same roof, yearning and missing each other, neither dared to be too obvious.

The cell phone became the medium for expressing their heartfelt sentiments.

That night, Jiang Qing did not come over again; Li Chen lay in bed, and the lithe figure of Shen Mengxue kept coming to mind.

It’s a pity she didn’t have Aunt Qing’s courage; Li Chen thought if he could hold her while he slept, he would feel extremely blessed.

He dwelled on this for a very long time, until he grew tired and closed his eyes to sleep.

"Dear, after work today, let’s go get a room, shall we?"

First thing in the morning at the hospital, Xu Jia said excitedly.

She was dressed to kill and had put on beautiful makeup, clearly prepared for what was to come.

"You don’t have to pick Miaomiao up today?" Li Chen was a bit surprised.

"My parents are free today, so they’ll do it. Come on, agree with me! You’re not allowed to refuse..." Xu Jia shook Li Chen’s arm, her eyes full of hope.

"Alright! You’ve dressed up so beautifully, teacher, I’m tempted right now," Li Chen said with a sly grin.

"Hmmph, at least you little rascal have taste," Xu Jia said proudly and happily.

She hadn’t wasted her effort getting all dolled up before heading out; seeing her heartthrob so pleased, she was even more looking forward to it.
