"Huh? Who are you?"
Li Chuan had just opened the door to see a middle-aged man in his thirties or forties standing outside, impeccably groomed, wearing gold-rimmed glasses and a neat suit.
Upon seeing Li Chuan, the middle-aged man slightly bowed and said politely, "Mr. Li, hello. My name is Jiang Tianyang. I just got back home and heard from my wife that the Cyan Wood Ointment is your product, and you cured the sores on my wife and daughter's faces. I wanted to visit you personally to express my gratitude. Please accept this small gift."
Li Chuan was surprised that the main figure of the Jiang family had come to him, especially since he had recently spent time at his home with his wife—that...
"Mr. Jiang, it was just a small effort on my part, and since your wife supported my Cyan Wood Ointment, I should be the one thanking you. So, I cannot accept this gift. Please take it back."
Jiang Tianyang hurriedly shook his head and said, "No way! Mr. Li, this is not only my idea but also my wife's! If I take it back, wouldn't that show a lack of manners?"
"If word gets out, our Jiang family would certainly be laughed at!"
"Actually, it's just tobacco, wine, and tea, all common specialties, nothing too precious. Please don't refuse, Mr. Li." Jiang Tianyang lowered his stance significantly, showing no contempt or disrespect due to Li Chuan's youth.
"Alright, I'll accept it then," Li Chuan thought for a moment, "but I can't accept this gift for nothing. Let me give you a piece of advice: do not go to high places tomorrow."
Li Chuan could tell instantly that dark energy was swirling between Jiang Tianyang's eyebrows - indicating a blood calamity! He had been involved with his wife and daughter; at this point, he couldn't not save him!
Whether he believes it or not was up to Jiang Tianyang!
Jiang Tianyang felt puzzled upon hearing this, like a monk trying to grasp at something intangible, but he didn't say much. After seeing Li Chuan accept the items, he left!
"Chuan, who was at the door?"
Little sister-in-law Song Zihan came downstairs wearing a black silk nightgown, looking both pure and alluring: "Sister has already finished cooking. Shall we go eat?"
Li Chuan: "I previously treated one of the homeowners here, and this gift is from him as thanks."
Song Zihan clung to Li Chuan's arm, and the two snuggled together as they walked into the living room, where Li Chuan casually placed the gift on the coffee table.
Song Hanzhang walked over and was somewhat surprised: "These tobacco, wines, and teas are all valuable items! Just this Da Hong Pao and Moutai alone are worth upwards of a hundred thousand!"
"Moutai, huh? Shall we drink a little tonight?" Song Zihan laughed.
"Forget it, I don't like alcohol. Just keep it there, and bring it to your uncle when you go to visit your parents." Li Chuan waved his hand.
Song Hanzhang's face inexplicably flushed. She hadn't expected that Li Chuan would still think about her father.
Hearing Li Chuan say "visiting parents," Song Zihan's face also flushed.
After dinner, Song Hanzhang went upstairs, and Song Zihan rarely cleaned the kitchen before preparing some desserts and jelly later.
Seeing the words "Crystal Love," Li Chuan couldn't help but let his thoughts wander.
The two brought the desserts with them as they took the elevator upstairs, but upon entering the room, they did not see Song Hanzhang.
However, from the nearby bathroom, the sound of running water could be heard.
Li Chuan walked over and saw Song Hanzhang filling a massive bathtub with water, as well as adding milk and fresh rose petals.
"Are you guys done eating? I want to take a bath. Want to join?" Song Hanzhang blushed.
In truth, Song Hanzhang had always wanted such a large bathtub, where she could do whatever she wanted...
That night was destined to be unforgettable for Li Chuan.
They fooled around in the bathtub for more than two hours, until Song Hanzhang and Song Zihan both asked him to stop.
Lying on the spacious bed.
"Little treasure is really something!" Song Hanzhang lay in Li Chuan's arms, "Thank goodness Xiaohan was here, otherwise I wouldn't have managed!"
"Hmm, I really suspect, Chuan, if you've been taking something!" Song Zihan, satisfied but exhausted, lay beside Li Chuan and drifted off to sleep.
Sensing that the sisters were truly tired, Li Chuan sat up cross-legged and began to train the Yin Yang Mutual Sensitivity Technique.
The amount of Lingxi True Qi kept increasing, but he just couldn't break through!
This feeling left Li Chuan somewhat puzzled.
However, regardless of the situation, his strength was steadily growing, making him increasingly confident. Only by continuously enhancing his power could he go to Yanjing, investigate his lineage, and avenge his parents!
He always felt that the enemies in Yanjing had already noticed Jiangzhou.
...
The next morning.
Li Chuan was awakened by Song Hanzhang's excitement.
Not only was he being pleasured below, but Song Zihan's nimble tongue was kissing him.
After another two hours of messing around, Li Chuan finally left Panlong District.
Now, the semester was starting soon, and he hoped to see Li Yong's Chinese medicine clinic open before school began.
For him now, attending university was no longer particularly important, and he estimated he'd need to take leave when classes started.
The efficiency of the renovation company was truly high, and by the time Li Chuan arrived, the clinic was already bustling with activity.
Li Yong wasn't there; he seemed to be out looking for furniture.
Wang Xiaoqi, though, was kind-hearted, coming to help after her morning exercise since it was her own property.
But her figure was quite something; every time she bent over, her raised peachy bottom incited endless imagination in men.
And each time she bent over, the deep cleavage exposed on her chest enthralled any man who glanced that way.
The workers from the renovation company frequently set their sights on Wang Xiaoqi, which left Li Chuan speechless.
"Sister Xiaoqi, you don't need to do this. Leave these tasks to me."
Finally, unable to watch any longer, Li Chuan stepped forward and suggested Wang Xiaoqi take a break.
Upon seeing Li Chuan, Wang Xiaoqi couldn't help but smile: "I'm just passing the time and came to take a look."
"So free? Not going on a date?" Li Chuan laughed.
Upon hearing this, Wang Xiaoqi's expression dimmed: "Date? Since breaking up with my ex five years ago, I've been single."
Li Chuan looked curious: "Single all along? Don't you want to find someone?"
Wang Xiaoqi: "Find what? Being alone is quite comfortable. Anyway, come over to my place later, let's have a drink together. I heard from Qingyao that your Tuina Skill is impressive; give me a massage."
"Well...okay." Li Chuan initially hesitated but eventually agreed, seeing Wang Xiaoqi's eager expression.
After all, she was his landlord, and a little favor wouldn't hurt.
"Great, I'll go prepare lunch. Oh, my place is nearby, I'll send you the address later; it's just a short walk." Wang Xiaoqi said, looking excited as she went to prepare lunch.
Li Chuan: "..."
He had no idea what Zhao Qingyao had said to her, but he had a nagging sense of unease.
