Chapter 86 Healing in the Dead of Night

Su Pu was thin, but she always gave Li Jichuan the softest hug in the world.

After a long while, the two slowly relaxed. Su Pu stood up straight and looked at Li Jichuan again—

It turns out he wasn't the only one blushing.

Many of the ice balls in the glass had melted, and the melted water mixed with the remaining liquor at the bottom of the glass, giving it a faint golden hue.

Li Jichuan swirled his glass, glancing sideways at Su Pu. "Would you like a drink too?"

Su Pu leaned closer and sniffed along the rim of the cup, only smelling a bitter pine nut aroma.

He shook his head and refused, not understanding what was so good about alcohol.

Li Jichuan suppressed a laugh, "You used to really like drinking it, didn't you? You didn't really like it?"

Did you like alcohol before?

Su Pu was skeptical, so he leaned closer to the cup and asked again, but still couldn't agree.

Li Jichuan didn't insist; he was just teasing him anyway. "It's okay."

Then I changed the glass, got some ice, poured the wine, and made myself a new one.

Li Jichuan returned to his original position with his wine glass in hand, while Su Pu's gaze remained fixed on him.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

The little mute shook his head and asked himself, "Do you prefer the old me or the current me?"

Even though both of them were herself, Su Pu still knew they were different.

"I like them both."

Li Jichuan, however, seemed to be able to read his mind and took his hand.

"Whether in the past or now, I love you, it's all you, you deeply attract me."

The two sat and stood, with Li Jichuan looking up slightly at his little mute boy, his eyes slightly glazed over by the alcohol.

They looked at each other, and as if by some strange twist of fate, Su Pu suddenly bent down, leaned over, and pecked his lips.

A hint of surprise flashed in the other person's eyes. The next moment, Su Pu felt a warmth on her wrist, and with a smooth twist of her body, she sat gracefully in the other person's lap.

Li Jichuan pinched his chin and kissed him.

Su Pu savored the pine nut flavor that occasionally brushed against his tongue, and even tasted a hint of sweetness.

Perhaps, the wine isn't so bad after all.

"concentrate."

Noticing his distraction, Li Jichuan paused for a moment, his lips still pressed against Su Pu's, his soft voice sending shivers down Su Pu's spine.

He opened his eyes slightly and realized that Li Jichuan would secretly squint his eyes to observe his state when they kissed.

Once he's moved, she'll conquer him even more, stealing his breath away.

The small patch of light was quickly filled with the popping and hissing of water.

...

After a long kiss, Li Jichuan was sobering up, while Su Pu was dizzy and slightly tipsy.

Li Jichuan wiped the moisture from his lips with his thumb and pulled him closer.

"You said before that you wanted to see me drunk, and now you've seen it..."

The words Su Pu left in the memo were also one of Li Jichuan's biggest worries.

He couldn't figure out how to help the little mute boy recover, nor was he sure if the little mute boy should recover at all.

I feel that he is in a good state now, rediscovering his rhythm in life, no longer following anyone, and having his own pace.

"But you said before that you liked it when I suddenly kissed you, is that still the case now?" Li Jichuan asked with a smile.

Su Pu thought for a moment and nodded.

He likes kissing!

“Okay, then we’ll kiss every day from now on,” Li Jichuan demonstrated by kissing him for a while longer, “like this.”

After a few seconds of eye contact, Su Pu reached out and touched his eyelids, then rubbed the pale blue skin under his eyes.

My past self must have felt sorry for Li Jichuan, who was always working so hard and getting so tired.

Would my past self have understood his loneliness?

Seeing the little mute boy start to scatter his thoughts again, Li Jichuan smiled and asked him, "Xiao Pu, what do you think the meaning of family is?"

"I'm drinking today because a family member used to treat me very, very badly, but now I understand her reasons..."

"But even if she's in pain, it can't erase the harm she caused to others, right?"

Su Pu nodded.

right!

Li Jichuan raised one eyebrow, probing, "So you won't forgive me?"

Su Pu nodded again.

good!

With this affirmation, Li Jichuan was finally relieved.

No matter how capable he is, he is still young and immature. Faced with rumors in the industry that he is ruthless and has even tried to kill his own aunt, he is inevitably swayed.

After his grandfather passed away, besides Su Pu, Li Shuwen was one of the few family members he had left in this world; moreover, the two were related by blood.

In the first two months, when the two forces were fighting fiercely, he occasionally reflected on his actions.

Previously, the grandfather allowed his youngest daughter to use her official position to amass wealth and line her own pockets. Could this be considered a way of making amends to her and expressing his love and tolerance?

If Grandpa were alive, would he feel heartbroken to see the two of them fighting each other?

But he had no choice but to bite the bullet and push forward, otherwise he had already seen what would happen.

If he lets his guard down even slightly, Li Shuwen will take advantage of the situation, and everyone he cares about will be hurt.

Su Pu gave him just the right amount of support and acknowledged the voice in his heart.

Humans are complex, and the distinction between good and evil exists only from different perspectives and standpoints.

Li Jichuan understood that these were the inevitable prices he had to pay if he wanted to officially take over the group and climb to the highest position.

When he was at his most wavering, Su Pu found him and hugged him.

Much later, Li Jichuan led the Li family into a new era of business, constantly surpassing the achievements of the old chairman, becoming a business legend that shocked the industry.

People say he's a wolf with sharp teeth and a bloodthirsty, ambitious nature; but little do they know, many years ago, on a certain night, this wolf held his personal knight in his arms, his heart filled with boundless love.

Life has many paths, ambition spawned his fangs, but love gave him life and strength.

...

After that day, Li Jichuan once again plunged into the fierce competition and battles.

Fortunately, he did not give Li Shuwen a chance to turn things around because of a moment of pity, because in many projects afterward, his own aunt dug pits for him everywhere.

Two weeks later, Li Jichuan was elected as the interim chairman of the Li Group with a 45.4% approval rating, for a two-year term.

This was a very well fought battle!

With the new broom in the closet, Li Jichuan became even busier.

When Xiao Su, the deliveryman, came to deliver coffee, she saw that his desk was covered with all sorts of documents, and there wasn't a single space to put the coffee.

Su Pu sighed softly, placed the coffee on the display shelf, rolled up her sleeves, and helped tidy up.

Li Jichuan remotely controlled his wheelchair back, wearing a Bluetooth earpiece and speaking fluent English.

When his wife came to visit, he wisely ended the call and squeezed in with a smile.

Su Pu's expression betrayed his reproach; the table was a complete mess, suggesting that the man hadn't even had time to drink water or eat lunch.

Feeling guilty, Li Jichuan chuckled and said, "The meeting just now was very long. Echo went to buy working lunch for everyone, and I also had my lunch there."

Su Pu glared at him with a resentful look in her eyes, but Li Jichuan's breath hitched. He felt incredibly pleased to be glared at.

He really enjoyed it when Su Pu got angry with him; it inexplicably made him feel good, and he couldn't suppress his laughter.

Li Jichuan leaned closer, looking at the files neatly stacked on the table. Su Pu had left sticky notes in each of the open sections, so he could easily find them next time he needed to review them.

Su Pu studied business management at university, probably hoping to join Su Fengxian's company after graduation and help his family.

But his father and brother never treated him as a true family member.

Seeing the little mute girl tidying up so diligently, Li Jichuan had a thought.

"Xiao Pu..."

When Su Pu looked over, Li Jichuan gave him a resolute gaze.

"Have you ever considered opening your own coffee shop?"
