“Why are you the one picking me up?”
Wan Yunting carried his luggage up, and Li Shuyun put down her phone, looking up at him with calm eyes. She smiled faintly and said, “I just came from the martial arts gym, and I happened to be passing by to pick you up.”
Because Wan Yunting had called his second sister-in-law the day before to say he would be back that afternoon, Li Shuyun, upon hearing this, proactively offered to pick him up at the airport.
“Then let’s go.”
Wan Yunting smiled, placed his luggage bag in the back seat of the car, and sat in the passenger seat. Li Shuyun drove, taking him home.
“Are you recovered from your injuries?”
Li Shuyun then asked calmly.
“Yes, mostly.”
Wan Yunting nodded and replied with a smile. Aside from the knife wound on his back and the gunshot wound on his left shoulder, which had not yet fully healed, there were no major issues. His dantian’s internal energy had also recovered about eighty percent.
Li Shuyun nodded and said no more, which made Wan Yunting turn his head to look at her strangely, thinking she was going to suggest dual cultivation again.
Huh, why do I feel a bit disappointed…
The sedan slowly entered the villa estate gate, and they saw his second sister-in-law, Wang Chulin, holding Wan’er. As soon as she saw Wan Yunting get out of the car, she happily ran towards him, “Third Uncle…”
“Haha, Wan’er…”
Wan Yunting crouched down, scooped Wan’er into his arms, and said happily, “Have you missed your Third Uncle these past few days?”
“Mmm, Wan’er missed Third Uncle every day,” Wan’er giggled, hugging Wan Yunting’s neck.
“Third Brother, put her down quickly, your injuries aren’t fully healed yet…”
Wang Chulin walked over. Wan Yunting, holding Wan’er, smiled, “I’m fine, Second Sister-in-law, my injuries are much better.”
“Xiao Wan, you’re back.”
At that moment, Li Guohao and Cheng Qiuhe also came out, smiling, “How is it, have things over there been sorted out?”
“Yes, it’s basically done. Director Pang and the others are still wrapping things up, and they’ll be back in the country in a few days.”
Wan Yunting put Wan’er down, then sat down with Li Guohao on the leisure chairs in the courtyard garden. His second sister-in-law brought Wan’er, and Li Shuyun sat with her mother on the side.
“Xiao Wan…”
Li Guohao impatiently asked, “Tell us quickly, what happened back then…”
Wan Yunting took a sip of tea and began to recount the story to them…
After all, they had only learned about the Gao Zhe incident from the news and didn’t have the full details…
“Being able to remove that tumor called Young Master Leng can be considered bringing peace back to Southeast Asia,” Li Guohao said with emotion after listening.
“Yes.”
Wan Yunting kept Wan’er on his lap. Li Guohao then said, “By the way, Xu Jianqiang contacted me earlier. He wants to treat you to a meal tomorrow.”
“Alright.”
Wan Yunting did not refuse and smiled, “He was the key to us being able to quickly gather evidence of Gao Zhe’s drug trafficking.”
“Yes.”
Li Guohao nodded and smiled, “However, this was a win-win cooperation. So, with Young Master Leng’s forces down, the biggest beneficiary is him, Xu Jianqiang.”
Wan Yunting nodded, it seemed the dinner tomorrow was a must.
“After we’re done tomorrow, we should head back to the country,” Wan Yunting said.
Wang Chulin was also eager to return to the country. After all, staying at Li Guohao’s place for a few days made her feel a bit awkward.
Li Guohao nodded, about to say something, when Li Shuyun, who had been sitting quietly beside him, said to Wan Yunting, “Stay a few more days!”
Wan Yunting was startled and turned to look at her. Li Guohao, Cheng Qiuhe, and Wang Chulin also looked at her. Li Shuyun calmly said, “I want to learn some martial arts from you.”
Hearing his daughter’s words, Li Guohao didn’t think much of it and smiled, “Then Xiao Wan, you should stay a few more days and teach Shuyun properly. She’s a martial arts enthusiast.”
However, these words made Wan Yunting’s heart ache with a wry smile. Facing Li Guohao, his expression was somewhat uncertain. If his father-in-law knew how he had been practicing martial arts with his daughter, he would probably jump up and chase him to his death…
After a while of casual chatting, it was time for dinner. Wan Yunting and Li Guohao happily drank and chatted until nine o’clock in the evening, when he returned with his second sister-in-law to another villa to rest.
Wan Yunting and his second sister-in-law chatted in the living room until ten-thirty, then he bathed Wan’er and coaxed her to sleep. It was already half-past eleven when his second sister-in-law also went to rest.
Wan Yunting lived on the second floor. After he finished showering and came out of the bathroom, he was startled to find Li Shuyun sitting quietly on the bed. She said calmly, “Let’s begin.”
Wan Yunting was speechless and coughed awkwardly twice, saying, “Shuyun, let’s stop the dual cultivation. My injuries are almost healed, and my internal energy has recovered eighty percent. I can now practice on my own and don’t need to dual cultivate anymore, so can we stop?”
Li Shuyun raised her eyebrows at his words, her eyes fixated on Wan Yunting, and she said calmly, “Do you have a burden in your heart?”
Wan Yunting gave a wry smile. Wouldn’t he have a burden? Dual cultivating with a woman he had no feelings for was something no one would feel comfortable with.
Li Shuyun withdrew her gaze, lowered her head, and said faintly, “I’ve never had a boyfriend and don’t understand feelings between men and women. But I dual cultivate with you solely to improve my martial arts. I have no other intentions.”
Wan Yunting walked over and sat on a nearby chair, looking at her seriously, “Precisely because of this, we cannot continue like this. If your future boyfriend knew about this, what would he think?”
Li Shuyun looked up at him and said directly, “Then can you be my boyfriend? If you’re willing, I have no problem with it. Then we can dual cultivate naturally, and you won’t have any burden in your heart.”
Pfft…
Wan Yunting was struck by her words, almost spitting blood from shock. He never expected this seemingly gentle Li Shuyun to have such audacious thoughts. It was too frightening.
“Stop right there.”
Wan Yunting waved his hands repeatedly, giving a wry smile, “Let’s not even talk about whether I have a girlfriend now, but we’ve only known each other for less than ten days, and there’s no emotional foundation. How can we be boyfriend and girlfriend? And can your parents agree to it?”
Li Shuyun looked at him seriously, “I think my parents like you very much. If you become my boyfriend, they will definitely agree. As for our emotional foundation, it’s dual cultivation!”
She’s gone mad about dual cultivation…
Wan Yunting was completely speechless. For a moment, he didn’t know how to respond to her audacious words.
“Let’s begin.”
Li Shuyun stood up, walked directly to Wan Yunting, and gently pulled down her strap…
……… The next morning, at five o’clock, Li Shuyun emerged from Wan Yunting’s room. Her eyes were bright, her spirit was full, and she felt light and powerful throughout her body. That indescribable feeling made Li Shuyun increasingly immersed in the improvement of her internal energy…
“Third Brother, why are you up so early?”
At six o’clock, Wang Chulin woke up and came out, only to see Wan Yunting, dressed casually, also coming downstairs. He looked energetic. She smiled, “Good morning, Second Sister-in-law, I’m going out to practice.”
“Oh, alright, go ahead.”
Wang Chulin nodded and smiled, starting to tidy up.
Wan Yunting went to the lawn in the courtyard and indeed saw Li Shuyun dressed in tight white sportswear, highlighting her perfect figure. She was taking advantage of the morning when the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was strongest, meditating and practicing her qi. Every inhale and exhale was methodical. Seeing this, Wan Yunting smiled and no longer dwelled on whether their dual cultivation was right or wrong.
As Li Shuyun had said, their emotional foundation was dual cultivation…
Li Guohao and his wife got up and saw Wan Yunting guiding Li Shuyun in practicing boxing on the lawn after their meditation. This scene made Li Guohao and Cheng Qiuhe exchange a smile, saying, “This Xiao Wan is good. It would be great if Shuyun could end up with him…”
At noon, Wan Yunting met Xu Jianqiang with Li Guohao. Xu Jianqiang hosted them with the highest courtesy.
This was because Xu Jianqiang had not expected this Chinese man to actually bring down Young Master Leng. Therefore, their previous cooperation was mutually beneficial, and Xu Jianqiang naturally had to thank Wan Yunting profusely…
