Chapter 26: Isn't Every Family Connected?

"Damn!"

Li Chuan was startled; Li Yong was really fast going upstairs today!

In no time, he was already at Li Chuan's door.

For a moment, Li Chuan felt cold sweat running down his back.

But at this time, Song Hanzhang calmly shook her head at Li Chuan, signaling him not to speak.

"Chuan is in the room." Song Hanzhang reached up to tidy her hair one last time, "I was watching. Are you off work now?"

"Oh, Hanzhang, you're here too? I thought you hadn't come back yet. I'm relieved you're back."

"Nonsense, didn't you call me? How could I not come back?"

"Alright, whatever, just open the door for me first."

Song Hanzhang stepped forward and casually opened the door.

Li Yong saw Li Chuan laying on the bed and was taken aback: "Chuan, what's this..."

Song Hanzhang shook her head: "Chuan said he's still a bit tired, but your Li Family actually produced a talented one this time."

"Alright, since you're back, take care of him yourself."

Saying that, Song Hanzhang strode out of the room.

Li Chuan was also deeply impressed by Song Hanzhang's strong psychological resilience. Clearly, she'd just been rolling in bed with him, but now she could just walk out looking completely natural, as if nothing had happened.

Li Yong didn't think much of it, still thinking Li Chuan hadn't recovered. He walked over looking concerned: "Chuan, how are you? Feeling better?"

"Um... better." Li Chuan had to keep acting, though he was actually feeling great.

"Alright, I'll have your sister-in-law cook something nice for you tonight to replenish your strength!" Li Yong chuckled, "This time, you did well, both the dean and vice dean praised you greatly, you really brought face to your brother!"

"Brother, no need to be polite. It's all my duty." Li Chuan smiled.

Being able to bring prestige to Li Yong at school made Li Chuan happy too, and the guilt he was feeling dissipated quite a bit.

After Li Yong praised a few words, he turned and walked out of the room.

Li Chuan also breathed a sigh of relief, in his heart being very impressed with Song Hanzhang, her psychological resilience was truly remarkable!

...

At dinner that night, Song Hanzhang indeed made a table full of nourishing dishes, even cooked some Three-Whip Soup.

Of course, as usual, Song Hanzhang again sneakily placed her foot between Li Chuan's legs, constantly teasing him.

When sleeping, due to having eaten quite a bit of Three-Whip Soup at dinner, Li Chuan tossed and turned in bed. In the end, as he circulated his True Qi, he could hear the sounds from the next room without stepping out.

And this time again, it was the sound of Li Yong and Song Hanzhang battling intensely.

This left Li Chuan somewhat speechless, his big brother was really the typical not good but still loves to play.

Clearly, that aspect wasn't working, why didn't he know how to moderate and nurture a bit? Instead, every night he's giving away the public grain, this wouldn't wear him out to the bone?

Or was it Song Hanzhang demanding it?

Sure enough, after a series of intense noises and shaking from the bedhead, the commotion suddenly ceased.

This was declaring the war over.

"Brother Yong, you're getting weaker and weaker."

"Ah? Not really? Look at the time, it's twelve minutes! I've seen big data surveys, the average time for normal men in our country is only five to six minutes."

"What nonsense is this big data? Why don't they survey how long women need? Besides, you just spent nine minutes on warming up, and only less than three minutes on me! Plus, you even took a break in between! Isn't this futile?"

Li Chuan was a bit speechless.

"The main thing is... I've been too tired these days..."

"Tired of what? You're just not up to it! If you aren't, you aren't! By the way, you should teach your brother properly, don't let him turn out like you, useless!"

"Hey, alright alright, don't bring that up! I'm just a bit tired, and besides, Chuan, he's been with the old master since young, his health is really good, and he's quite virtuous..."

"What do you mean? I'm meddling?"

"Hanzhang, that's not what I meant. Chuan is different from me, I've been weak since young, but Chuan is healthy, don't say anything in front of him, he's staying at our house now, I don't want him to feel like he's a guest."

Song Hanzhang seemed to sigh, then said: "By the way, I found out that my friend Zhao Qingyao seems to quite like Chuan, should we..."

"Should what?"

"Why are you looking at me with that look?"

"No, honey, I think you can take that plan a bit easy. Chuan saved Secretary Liu's father today. Although he didn't accept Secretary Liu's goodwill causing Liu to be a bit upset, the lifesaving grace still counts, and the hospital leaders now have a different attitude towards me..."

"If it really occurs as you say, that would be ideal, and your official promotion wouldn't be a problem. But what if an accident happens? This year's applicants are so many, and there's only one vacancy. Isn't every family pulling strings? If we could get the vice dean's support, wouldn't that be more secure? Also, Ding Yang usually listens most to his wife, you know that!"

Upon hearing this, Li Chuan suddenly realized why Song Hanzhang didn't get angry after knowing about him and Zhao Qingyao.

Moreover, she later deliberately said she wanted to inspect and directly pulled down his pants, she did it on purpose!

Li Yong's voice sounded: "Ding Yang and Zhao Qingyao, usually they keep a low profile, and they are pretty good to us, you let Li Chuan... wait, no! Hanzhang! You want Li Chuan to seduce your friend? How could that be? Wouldn't that destroy their relationship?"

"Are you kidding me! Chuan is so young! Qingyao is almost thirty, she's ten years older than Chuan! I'm saying, if it's possible, I'll often invite Qingyao over to hang out. If she and Chuan have common topics and become good friends, wouldn't she have more influence with Ding Yang? You can't blame me for this, just look at you, stubborn as a mule, with zero social skills, always burying yourself in studies, how will you manage affairs?"

"What if they end up liking each other?"

"Anyway, Chuan won't be at a disadvantage."

"What if Qingyao really falls for him and wants to marry Chuan?"

"Are you dumb or is Zhao Qingyao dumb? Enough, my friend definitely won't think about divorce, so give up on that thought!"

Li Yong was suddenly speechless: "This sounds so awkward."

"Awkward? More awkward than you fussing around on me?"

"Alright, alright! I won't say anymore, I won't say anymore. Chuan's matters I'll leave to you."

"That's more like it. Brother Yong, I always feel like your waist has stabilized!"

Soon, there was no more sound coming from the next room.

Listening to these conversations, Li Chuan felt rather speechless.

With all of Song Hanzhang's maneuvers, even if she were alone with Li Chuan later, Li Yong wouldn't suspect a thing.

And the relationship between Li Chuan and Zhao Qingyao could also be used by her as a means of control, killing two birds with one stone!

But for Li Chuan, these things are actually good.

When the time comes to practice the Lingxi Mutual Sensitivity Technique, it will undoubtedly be much more convenient.

Just as Li Chuan was preparing to sleep, his phone suddenly rang.

A WeChat message from Zhao Qingyao.
