Li Qianfan drove to Sijiu, and it was already dark.
On the way, he had been analyzing repeatedly whether what he was doing was right.
Or if it was worth it?
After all, if he only came out to visit for the New Year from the Su family, it would be equivalent to him declaring that he had taken Su Nan Guanyin, and it would become a fact.
Those who were dissatisfied with him would not just target him emotionally anymore.
It was highly likely they would act!
After all, even Director Zhao, after hearing his decision, had ended the call without a word.
Because even Director Zhao, who was known for his wisdom, couldn't decide if Li Qianfan's actions were acceptable.
Li Qianfan had also considered calling his parents to ask for their opinion.
But he picked up the phone several times and then gave up.
Because he felt—
His parents would definitely not agree!
From a strategic perspective, ensuring Li Qianfan could smoothly inherit the Dragon Lord position and safeguarding the interests of Longxu's stability were paramount!
Moreover, Li Qianfan had already publicly declared that he had taken Su Nan Guanyin. While pushing himself into the spotlight, he had also successfully prevented Su Nan Yin from having to commit suicide to prove her innocence.
Next.
What Li Qianfan had to do was to eliminate the negative repercussions after he "took" Su Nan Guanyin!
Not to go further and court death!!
Since he had analyzed that his father and mother would not agree, Li Qianfan saw no need to call them to ask when he was going to the Su family for the New Year.
It was better to go directly to the Su family—
Make it a fait accompli!
Would the sky fall?
Would Longxu be annihilated without Li Qianfan?
What a joke!
And so.
Li Qianfan chatted with Su Ziyu while on his way to Sijiu.
Regarding Li Qianfan's decision, Su Ziyu not only promised not to tell her grandmother and father-in-law but also to unconditionally support him in whatever he did.
Even.
When Li Qianfan said he wanted to go to her mother's hometown to live in seclusion, Su Ziyu was overjoyed, wishing for such a day!
Although the Dragon Lord's wife was majestic, for Ziyu, it was no match for being with her tender shoots day and night.
With Su Ziyu's strong support, Li Qianfan had even fewer psychological burdens.
He finished chatting after arriving at the Su family's main entrance.
Uncle Kui, who opened the door for him, was greatly surprised to see Li Qianfan arriving in the dark!
Uncle Kui said nothing, nor did he have Su Xin announce his arrival to the back courtyard. He simply invited Li Qianfan in with a smile.
Uncle Kui, who was loyal only to Su Nan Yin, didn't care about her personal life.
He only needed to remember what Su Nan Yin had told him: "Li Qianfan is the second master of this house, besides me."
The second master of the Su family had come home on the reunion night of the Lunar New Year.
This was a good thing!
After respectfully inviting Li Qianfan in, Uncle Kui offered him early New Year's greetings.
Su Xin and the others, who heard the commotion, also saw Li Qianfan.
They greeted him and offered New Year's wishes.
But their gazes towards Li Qianfan were quite complex.
Li Qianfan didn't care about that.
Since he was already at the Su family's, it was no use worrying.
He returned their greetings with a smile and went straight to the back courtyard.
Pushing the door open—
Whoosh!
It was so warm.
Although Li Qianfan had no specific requirements for temperature, he was more sensitive to changes in temperature than ordinary people.
Hoo!
Eight legs, so white.
Li Qianfan scanned the living room, casting his eyes on the dazzling pink glow, before looking at the four women who instantly froze.
The four of them, including Su Nan Guanyin, had not expected Li Qianfan to suddenly arrive at the Su family.
This was even more unexpected than a steel cable as thick as a thumb breaking on its own just as one was about to hang themselves.
They couldn't help but be stunned.
"What are you looking at? Don't you recognize me?"
Li Qianfan closed the door, casually took off his shoes, and removed his Zhongshan suit, wearing only a black shirt. He walked barefoot into the bathroom.
After washing his hands, he came out and sat at the table.
He took the rolling pin from Chongchong's hand.
Looking at the four still stunned women, he said, "What, are you surprised that I'm home for the New Year? Hurry up and get to work! I've been driving for five or six hours, and I'm tired and hungry. Guanyin, make me a bowl first, I need to eat."
The four beauties of the Su family finally came to their senses.
In the warm room, a massive amount of joy quickly permeated.
Chongchong's eyes sparkled.
But they all stole glances at Su Nan Guanyin.
"Where did Mom's melancholy go?"
As Chongchong thought this, she extended her foot to Li Qianfan's leg and nudged him gently to express her inner joy at his sudden arrival.
When Mao Mao reached for the dumpling wrappers, her knee brushed against Li Qianfan's.
After a moment, she boldly reached out and pinched his ear, signaling, "Yaoyao sister is very happy now!"
Su Nan Guanyin, however, gave him a sideways glance and said sarcastically, "What, you really want to take possession of me?"
Li Qianfan ignored her and said to Chongchong, "Chongchong, I'm thirsty."
"I'll get you some water!"
Mao Mao, with her slightly protruding belly, immediately stood up and went to get Li Qianfan water: "Plain water, or tea? Have some tea, we have to stay up late tonight."
Chongchong pouted.
Yaoyao, with a thoughtful expression, finally began to suspect that Mao Mao's eagerness towards Li Qianfan seemed problematic.
Su Nan Yin, after making a sarcastic remark that was ignored, couldn't help but lift her foot and kick him: "Are you deaf? I'm talking to you!"
Li Qianfan feigned ignorance and looked at her: "What did you ask me?"
Su Nan Yin looked into his eyes and said, almost word for word: "Do you really, want to, take, possession, of me?"
Mao Mao, who was brewing tea, Yaoyao, who was kneading dough, and Chongchong, who was wrapping dumplings, all stopped their actions.
The pressure in the room, which had just risen, instantly dropped.
But none of Mao Mao, Chongchong, or Yaoyao felt that Su Nan Yin's question was wrong.
It had to be clarified!
Su Nan Guanyin could bear the stigma and commit suicide to clear her name, but she didn't need anyone's pity!
Li Qianfan looked at the noble and sexy woman and replied seriously, "Never."
Su Nan Yin sneered silently—
Before she could say anything, Li Qianfan added, "But I like the sense of ease when I'm with you."
The cold smile on Su Nan Yin's lips immediately paused.
It gradually disappeared and returned to natural.
She instructed, "Chongchong, get out the Nu'er Hong that I prepared for your wedding. Tonight, let's have a good drink as a family."
Okay!
Shen Chongchong immediately cheered and stood up, running towards the door. She put on her small slippers, grabbed a windbreaker, and rushed out of the living room to get the wine from the basement.
Su Nan Yin's question was quite tricky and shameless.
But Li Qianfan didn't care, as long as he spoke his heart.
Mao Mao among Mao Maochong was making tea for Li Qianfan, and Chongchong had gone to get wine.
Yaoyao had nothing to do, so she could only knead dough.
But why did the little girl have to make her firm waist twist so alluringly while kneading dough?
It wasn't as captivating as Guanyin's.
Girls who were more active and athletic tended to have more "tough," coarse-fibered, and elastic waist muscles.
For a woman to have a graceful figure, it had to be like Su Nan Guanyin's plumpness.
Even when she walked normally, she exuded an aura of charm.
Eating hot dumplings, drinking Chongchong's Nu'er Hong, and watching the skits on the Spring Festival Gala, with someone's foot secretly nudging me under the table, this was truly celebrating the New Year.
The four beauties of the Su family were all heavy drinkers (Mao Mao couldn't drink).
A three-jin jar of Nu'er Hong was quickly emptied.
But everyone's mood for drinking had just begun.
"Let's just bring out the remaining two jars and drink them too."
Su Nan Yin gestured for Li Qianfan and Chongchong to go to the basement to get the wine.
Mao Mao and Yaoyao agreed.
Tonight was New Year's Eve, and there was no need to think about sleeping. Li Qianfan's arrival meant a complete family reunion.
Sitting together as a family, chatting and drinking, was the true joy of life!
Li Qianfan, drafted into service, had no choice but to go to the basement with Chongchong.
The aroma of wine filled the air.
So many good wines.
As Li Qianfan couldn't help but sniff the air, Chongchong suddenly leaned in.
With tears welling in her porcelain doll eyes, she whispered hoarsely, "Brother, brother, brother."
What for?
Sister, just say what you need.
Don't just call me brother and shake your hips!
Li Qianfan, who was already a bit tipsy, was completely intoxicated when Chongchong's pink lips kissed his.
In the living room.
Su Nan Yin glanced at her phone and cursed, "That little brat Chongchong! It's been twenty minutes, and she's still not back. It's the New Year, everyone is here, and she has no regard for appearances!"
She glanced at Mao Mao and Yaoyao from the corner of her eye.
Mao Mao, watching TV, kept smacking her lips as if savoring the taste of wine.
Yaoyao, sitting on the sofa with her long legs resting on the coffee table, dangled her feet back and forth, engrossed in her phone. But why was she crisscrossing her legs back and forth?
"Alas, he has finally managed to control all of Mao Maochong Yaoyao."
Su Nan Yin sighed inwardly when her phone rang.
She glanced at the caller ID.
Su Nan Yin raised an eyebrow slightly, then her expression returned to normal. She answered, forcing a smile, "May I ask why the head of the Shen family in Sijiu would call a single woman with a tarnished reputation on New Year's Eve to offer New Year's greetings?"
Upon hearing her say this, Mao Mao and Yaoyao immediately looked up.
"Heh heh."
The head of the Shen family let out a cold laugh and said leisurely, "Su Nan Yin, are you now deeply tasting what it means to wish you were dead?"
The feigned smile on Su Nan Yin's face instantly vanished. "Shen Huiteng, what exactly do you want?"
Shen Huiteng replied, "I have only one question."
Su Nan Yin replied, "Ask."
"Do you want Li Qianfan, that little bastard."
Shen Huiteng said in a condescending tone, "To appear by your side within three days and stay with you for the rest of your life?"
