Who dares to have an opinion about a caterpillar biting someone?
After exchanging glances, the three shook their heads and dejectedly returned to their rooms to sleep.
"Daring to compete with me, they are simply overestimating themselves."
A certain empress let out a contemptuous scoff, opened her door, entered the room, and with a click, locked it from the inside.
The triumphant smile on her face instantly vanished.
It was replaced by an expression of pain.
She even raised her fist and pounded heavily on her chest, groaning softly, "Su Nanyin, the reason Shen Yue abandoned you is because beneath your seemingly noble exterior, you are actually a loose woman!"
She finally remembered Shen Yue, remembered how that man, in order to cast her aside, had colluded with Old Du to set up a huge trap for her!
This trap had a critical impact on her, making her subconsciously believe that even if she died, she might still be entangled with Li Qianfan.
Then, her woman's instinct propelled her step by step further into the depths of Shen Yue's scheme.
Ultimately, she became irredeemable—
Until now, her entire heart belonged to that brat!!
She wished to see him every day. Even if they never spoke a word in this lifetime, just seeing him would bring her peace.
She had been trying very, very hard to climb out of that pit.
And the result?
With the boost from 209 and after a heart-to-heart talk with that brat last night, she finally experienced a terrifying "dripping" phenomenon today!
This proved that not only was her mind in trouble, but her body was also instinctively out of control.
"I want that brat to die with me, was that wrong? But why is there this dripping phenomenon? Did 209 realize I wanted to take him down with me and immediately show me a lesson? No! I absolutely cannot admit defeat, I absolutely cannot compromise. I am Su Nanyin, I am Su Nanyin who absolutely will not be led by the nose by anything! I want to die with him, die together!!"
Su Nanyin groaned in pain, beating her chest even harder, hoping to beat down a certain crazy thought from the deepest part of her heart.
Then, to carry out her plan of dying together with the brat!
But—
Even the caterpillar was useless.
Instead, her beating hands were filled with sweetness.
She froze.
Su Nanyin sat on the edge of the bed, stunned for a long time, and then began to tremble inexplicably.
"Su Nanyin, you slut!"
She cursed in a hoarse voice, then sprang up like a coiled spring, looking impatient as she quietly slipped out and returned to her own bedroom.
A moment later, she returned again.
She held a mobile phone in her hand.
Some powerful, irresistible force was controlling her, making her jump onto the bed, kneel down, and raise her phone high, taking a picture of his back with a click.
That click seemed to have taken away all her strength.
She collapsed by the pillow, her shoulders shaking violently.
In the room, the scent of tears grew stronger.
One o'clock in the morning.
Victoria in Qingyun.
In the best KTV private room, there were over twenty people.
Li Qianfan.
Old Dad Su, Mother Lan, the heavily pregnant woman (Wan Meizi), King Zhu Hui, Chen Dong and An Ran, the four close beauties (the two from Zhenxing had also returned to Qingyun with Li Qianfan), San Tiao and a few others, Xie Wenxiu, and Zhang Bao and Han Meng (subordinates of Mo Hongti), as well as Vice President Huang from Qianfan Hospital, and others.
Chu Yazhi was not present.
With the emergence of President Jiao San and the complete surrender of the ten great families, the danger Chu Yazhi had been facing was completely resolved.
Compared to being in Qingyun, Chu Yazhi preferred to stay in the provincial capital and work diligently as Li Qianfan's intelligence chief.
After all, Tang Wenyuan and Du Tianci, who were currently "campaigning in the East," would report directly to Chu Yazhi for matters that did not need to be reported directly to Li Qianfan.
Li Qianfan had finally returned to Qingyun.
Naturally, his acquaintances in Qingyun had to celebrate.
After a good night of drinking, the cheerful Xie Wenxiu suggested that everyone stay in the KTV private room all night.
It would be a way to make up for Mr. Qianfan's absence from Qingyun during the New Year.
Mother Lan was the first to support the idea.
Speaking of the New Year, Mother Lan felt guilty that she had been too busy with work to give her good son-in-law a family reunion.
Today, it had to be made up for!
With the two ladies taking the lead, Chen Dong, Wang Zhe, and others naturally offered their enthusiastic support.
Li Qianfan naturally did not refuse.
He knew this was a great opportunity to deepen their bond.
And so,
In the largest private room, they enjoyed wine and snacks, laughing loudly, and clapping for those who enthusiastically performed.
The performance that received the most applause was An Ran's dance.
Even the heavily pregnant Wan Meizi sang a duet with Mother Lan of that song that had become popular during the World Cup last year.
It was now Old Dad Su's performance segment.
Old Dad Su was living younger and younger, always grooming himself, and his pocket money had increased from a few yuan to hundreds of yuan!
He was no longer interested in ordinary foot massage parlors.
Mother Lan, who felt sorry for her husband working day and night to support the family, had specially purchased a year-long membership card for foot massages at Victoria for Old Dad Su.
A truly expensive one.
Even Zhang Bao couldn't refuse.
Although Old Dad Su had a hoarse voice, he was a microphone hog.
He was currently belting out his fourth song, Liu Tianwang's "Dongtu Ren."
Singing and dancing, he even ran over to invite Mother Lan to dance with him.
Mother Lan also obliged, allowing him to hold her hand, facing him, and looking at her husband with a tender gaze. The happiness emanating from her heart was undeniable.
"Good!"
Li Qianfan applauded.
Everyone else also joined in with cheers.
Only the "King of Pretension," with his perpetually cool expression, remained indifferent.
However, when Xiao Hui sang "Boyhood" earlier, Wang Zhe had almost clapped his hands raw.
Amidst the heated atmosphere—
Li Qianfan stood up and walked out of the private room, heading to Mo Hongti's office.
After Sister Hongti went to Longxu, Zhang Bao, who was in charge of Victoria's business, would not dare to mess around in her office.
However, a cleaner would still come to tidy up every day.
He had drunk a bit too much tonight.
He had intended to just go to the restroom and leave, but his buzzing head, disturbed by the various noises, felt much better.
After coming out of the restroom, he sat down on the sofa.
He also took a video and sent it to Ziyu's wife and Sister Hongti.
In fact, when Old Dad Su first started his off-key singing, Li Qianfan had already started the video and let Ziyu watch it live.
Seeing her parents living so happily, Su Ziyu felt even more reassured and enjoyed her life of luxury in Longxu.
She even had a sudden idea and asked Li Qianfan to subtly suggest to Old Dad Su that they have a second child.
After all, Mother Lan had excellent physical health, and with the various tonics from Divine Doctor Li to regulate her, the hope of becoming a mother again was high.
Li Qianfan would not say anything extra!
Having more brothers or sisters-in-law, apart from worrying about them, brought him no other benefits as a brother-in-law.
If a brother-in-law were to be born, and later find an unreliable sister-in-law, Li Qianfan would have even more to worry about.
In short.
Li Qianfan refused to participate in Sister Yu Su's whimsical idea.
They opened the video again.
After chatting with Ziyu's wife for half an hour, Li Qianfan reluctantly ended the video call and prepared to return to the private room.
Ding-dong.
Ruohua, an old friend, sent a message.
A picture, with the caption: "Old friend, beautiful, isn't she?"
Li Qianfan's face darkened.
After hesitating for a while, he sighed.
Then, whistling, he quickly typed a reply: "Old friend, you really have good fortune. To be able to find such a well-built girl. Honestly, just this butt alone is enough to play with for three years. However, the bathrobe is too much of a hindrance."
A moment later.
The phone dinged again.
This time, the beautiful picture was without the black bathrobe from before.
Li Qianfan felt as if his eyes had been struck—
He subconsciously looked up at the window.
Unfortunately, today was not the fifteenth day of the lunar month, but the twenty-fourth.
There was no moon in the sky.
Otherwise, Li Qianfan would have suspected that the full moon of the fifteenth day of the lunar month had fallen onto his phone screen.
"Alright, old friend."
Li Qianfan typed: "I think that if you can have this girl in your life, then even if you die now, it would be worth it."
Ruohua replied: "Who says not? Sigh, this girl I just hooked up with, she's good in every way, except she's particularly shameless."
Li Qianfan casually replied: "Old friend, when you say that, you don't understand. True shamelessness would never just show her butt and not her face."
Ruohua replied: "Hmm, you're right."
Li Qianfan asked again: "It's so late, why aren't you resting yet? I'm not sleeping because my friends and family insisted on dragging me out for drinks and singing. Later, they might even drag me into something else."
The so-called "dragging into something else" was a game of "Zha Jin Hua" (a card game).
But in Qingyun, Zha Jin Hua was called "Tractor."
In some places, Zha Jin Hua had the highest hand as "Leopard," followed by "Flush," and then "Tractor."
In Qingyun, "Tractor" was larger than "Flush."
Ding-dong.
Another beautiful picture was sent.
This time it was a "beauty looking back at the moon" picture.
Looking at this beautiful picture, Li Qianfan's cheeks puffed out abruptly.
Ruohua asked: "Old friend, how is the quality of this girl I hooked up with?"
Li Qianfan replied honestly: "She is absolutely one in ten million, you wouldn't find her by searching the entire internet."
Ruohua said: "Then do you want to teach her a lesson in my place?"
Li Qianfan said righteously: "A friend's wife, not to be trifled with!"
"Oh, come on, what kind of men are we, don't I know myself? Ruohua said: "Sigh, to be honest. Actually, buddy, I've already gotten tired of her. But she keeps clinging to me shamelessly, and I can't get rid of her."
Li Qianfan replied: "Kick her away? Are you out of your mind?"
"No matter how beautiful a woman is, after playing with her for a long time, you get tired of her. Forget it, let's not talk about this topic anymore."
Ruohua changed the subject: "How are you handling your relationship with the undercover mom lately?"
Mentioning this made Li Qianfan worry.
His fingers typed: "Due to some irresistible reason, she has actually started to develop genuine feelings for me. But what kind of person am I? Playing around is fine, of course. But to play for real. Heh, I really dare not imagine, nor have I ever imagined it."
"I remember you said last time that the undercover mom has a strange terminal illness. If you don't get serious with her, she won't live long."
Ruohua said: "Then tell me the truth, buddy, do you wish for her to die?"
"I don't wish for it."
Li Qianfan sent these three words first, then hesitated for a moment before typing: "I hope she can live a long and healthy life, pure and clean."
"As long as you wish for it, it can come true."
Ruohua suddenly asked: "Old friend, we've known each other for so long, and we haven't video chatted yet. Let's video chat tonight, shall we? It'll be like two netizens meeting for the first time."
Li Qianfan replied: "Don't you know that netizens meeting for the first time usually end in disappointment?"
Ruohua's tone was disdainful: "Hey, we're two grown men, what are we afraid of disappointment for?"
"What you said seems to have some sense."
Li Qianfan pondered: "Wait a moment, I'll go to a secluded place."
He stood up, walked into Mo Hongti's bedroom, casually sat down on the bed in a cross-legged position, and clicked the video call request.
The video call connected quickly—
After knowing each other online for over half a year, "Tender Grass" and Ruohua finally began video chatting tonight.
