Chapter 11, Chapter 135: If 2: Who will be the main wife...?

Kim Cho-wan froze for a moment, but still reached out and hugged Lee Sung-eun back.

"Um, I drank too much last night, and I've been resting at home all day, so I haven't been paying attention to my phone..."

Kim Cho-wan sounded a little guilty, but Lee Sung-eun seemed relieved. He looked up, kissed Kim Cho-wan on the lips, and then smiled, "As long as you're alright, I was just worrying unnecessarily."

Lee Sung-eun's unexpected ease in pleasing Kim Cho-wan put her mind at ease.

After entering the house, Li Xing'en hung her coat where Jiang Chen had hung it before.

Early spring brings warmer weather, but it's still a bit chilly in the mornings and evenings.

Looking at Lee Sung-eun, who was clearly exhausted, Kim Cho-wan felt as if her conscience was being fried in oil.

"You flew back like that? Have you settled the company matters?"

Lee Sung-eun had just come out of the bathroom. Because he often visited Kim Cho-man's house, there was a separate towel and toothbrush for him in Kim Cho-man's bathroom.

Even because he stayed overnight in the living room while drunk last month, Kim Cho-wan still has a change of clothes for him at home.

Li Xingen washed his face and came out of the bathroom. After washing up, he looked much better.

"Everything is basically settled. You can leave the rest to your boss."

Li Xingen and Cheng's are now in a cooperative relationship and have much closer ties. Jin Chuwan felt relieved to hear this. If she had delayed important matters because of her, she really didn't know how she could atone for it.

Perhaps sensing Kim Cho-wan's worry, Lee Sung-eun smiled and sat down next to her.

"What, in your eyes, am I really that irrational? You know I've never been an impulsive person."

For some reason, Jin Chuwan suddenly thought of the chat screenshots Jiang Chen had shown her during the day, and she turned her head to stare at the face in front of her.

She still couldn't imagine Li Xingen mocking others.

"I didn't mean that, I was just worried about you..."

Jin Chuwan casually touched the side of her neck and said this, but the next second, she was pulled into Li Xing'en's arms.

As the man's breath drew near, Jin Chuwan's lips were kissed. He didn't use much force, but he didn't allow her to escape. Just as Jin Chuwan was about to struggle, he grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms.

The kiss was both urgent and long for Jin Chuwan. She was so focused on avoiding making a sound that she didn't notice the cunning look in Li Xing'en's eyes.

He looked down at Jin Chuwan, who was clearly flustered, and gently comforted her by placing a hand behind her back.

Perhaps because this was the first time Jin Chuwan had been relatively tolerant in accepting his intimacy, Li Xing'en almost fell into a kind of hallucinatory intoxication. He was not in a hurry to conquer her, but patiently kissed and nibbled at her, from her lips to her neck, and then from her neck to her shoulder.

Even so, he couldn't be satisfied. He wanted more, he wanted all of her.

He has waited so long.

But now is not the time to rush.

After kissing enough, Lee Sung-eun rested on Kim Cho-wan's shoulder. He was very happy, genuinely overjoyed, even though he knew that his happiness was based on scheming and deception.

But so what?

Anyway, she believed it.

If she didn't believe him, she wouldn't deliberately avoid replying to his messages.

Li Xingen closed his eyes again, a faint smile on his lips, as if he were asleep.

As long as everyone believes it, then even a lie becomes true, and the cause and process of that phone call no longer matter, since he will keep this secret for the rest of his life anyway.

Jin Chuwan had no idea what Li Xingen was thinking. She was just tense until Li Xingen suddenly stopped moving, at which point she relaxed a little.

She moved her shoulders.

He asked in confusion, "Xing En?"

He responded to her soft and ambiguous reply.

"Auntie... I think I'm a little sleepy."

Hearing him say that, Jin Chuwan felt a pang of sympathy, so she suggested, "If you're tired, go home and rest. But it's so late, do you want me to call you a car?"

After all, there's still someone hiding at home; it's better to coax them away first.

But Li Xing'en shook her head: "I'm not leaving, I want to stay and keep Auntie company..."

The other person mumbled softly, and Jin Chuwan could tell from the sound that Li Xing'en was sleepy, but she dared not agree at all.

"But I don't have a place to sleep at home."

Jin Chuwan bought the studio apartment for two reasons. First, she felt it was close to her company and enough for her to live alone. Second, she was still traumatized by the people who had forcibly moved into her home in the new city.

At this moment, she was actually quite relieved.

"I can warm my aunt's bed..."

Upon hearing this, Kim Cho-man almost immediately rejected Lee Sung-eun's "kindness".

"You'd better not think about anything else, hurry home, we can talk about it tomorrow."

Being rejected so decisively, Li Xingen felt a subtle sense of frustration, but this feeling didn't last long, since it was all within his expectations.

"Then I'll sleep on the sofa. That's what I slept on last time anyway."

So after all that talking, this guy just wouldn't leave...

Jin Chuwan was a little anxious. She subconsciously glanced at the bedroom cabinet and her mind started racing. She had never faced such an absurd situation in her past or present life.

"But sleeping on the sofa is very uncomfortable. Don't you remember? Last time you slept on it, you said you had a headache afterward."

"That's because of drinking, it has nothing to do with the sofa."

Li Xing'en leaned on Jin Chuwan's shoulder and looked at her. The person in front of him looked a little nervous, with red cheeks, red ears, and red lips. His mind was full of images of taking things further, but unfortunately, she was still clearly a little wary.

It's not the right time yet.

"no."

Jin Chuwan's firm refusal surprised Li Xing'en. Even in the past, she would feel sorry and worried whenever he pretended to be tired and weak.

But what's wrong today?

Lee Sung-eun looked at Kim Cho-wan with a puzzled expression.

"My aunt was so cold today... She didn't care about me at all, and she didn't even ask how I was doing, even though we haven't seen each other for so many days..."

Kim Cho-wan felt increasingly guilty when questioned. She gently stroked Lee Sung-eun's hair reassuringly and said, "You're overthinking it. How could I not care about you? It's just that it's too late now... and you look very tired."

Li Xingen enjoyed this comforting feeling. He squinted like a cat, but his gaze slowly swept over every inch of the room.

He suddenly released Jin Chuwan and stood up slowly and unsteadily, as if he were drunk.

He loosened his collar, his eyes glazed over: "I don't care, I'm not leaving, I'm going to take a shower."

After Li Xing'en finished speaking, he walked directly into the bathroom. Jin Chuwan watched him unbutton his shirt as he walked, and hurriedly stood up to chase after him.

"I already said no, why are you being so disobedient today?"

Lee Sung-eun's hands didn't stop moving at all. He looked at Kim Cho-wan, who was blocking the bathroom door. His usually non-aggressive face actually revealed a deep meaning that made Kim Cho-wan's hair stand on end.

"My aunt is acting really strange today. Can't I even borrow the bathroom?"

As he spoke, he raised his arm and placed it behind her head. Jin Chuwan was encircled by him and forced to look up at him.

"You're making me feel like there's something in this room I shouldn't see..."

Almost as soon as he finished speaking, Li Xing'en pushed open the bathroom door, walked straight inside, and pulled back the curtain.

There was nothing inside.

Jin Chuwan was startled by this guy's insight. She touched her chest and felt it beating very fast.

What are you thinking about?

Having finally gained the upper hand, Kim Cho-wan deliberately tightened her tone.

She glanced away, "It's the middle of the night, and you're a man suddenly wanting to stay. Of course, I can't let you stay!"

Lee Sung-eun's gaze swept over the bathroom, which showed no signs of use. His originally cold eyes gradually softened, and he slowly turned around, looking calmly at Kim Cho-wan.

He took two steps closer, and as if admitting his mistake, gently hooked Jin Chuwan's finger around his.

"Is my aunt finally treating me like a man now...?"

Hearing the whisper in her ear, Jin Chuwan couldn't help but retort, "Of course I've always treated you like a man, you're not a girl..."

“But you never used to think so much…” Li Xing’en raised her eyes. The two of them looked crowded in the narrow bathroom.

Perhaps because she had been harassed by Jiang Chen too many times during the day, Jin Chuwan's nerves began to become fragile. She felt uneasy under Li Xing'en's gaze and only stepped back slightly.

"The past...and the present...are different..."

What Jin Chuwan wanted to say was about their current distance, the way he looked at her, and his seductive actions.

But Li Xingen only thought about their relationship.

His lips slowly parted, and the oppressive feeling that had been shrouding Jin Chuwan seemed to vanish in an instant.

He smiled and gently kissed Jin Chuwan's forehead again: "It was my fault. I shouldn't have scared Auntie. Believe me, as long as you don't agree, I'll be good, just like all these years..."

Jin Chuwan looked at the person in front of her. At least until yesterday, she never thought that she would act like a primary school student who had done something wrong in front of Li Xingen.

That's incredibly embarrassing.

She felt helpless, but didn't want to reveal any bluffing.

But Li Xingen didn't let her go; he seemed particularly fascinated by twirling her hair with his fingers.

"Don't be angry anymore, okay? I've been very good. I report everything I do to you, and I don't do things you forbid me from doing. I've also listened to your advice to get along well with your friends. The business we discussed in Europe this time benefited the Cheng family more. Even though I've done so much, it seems like Auntie doesn't know anything about it..."

In just a few words, Jin Chuwan seemed to have been manipulated again. She frowned and sighed.

"I just don't want to see you all become enemies, not ask you to sacrifice your own interests, nor did I ask you to go to such lengths..."

Jin Chuwan glanced at Li Xing'en, only to find that his gaze remained fixed on her lips. Perhaps out of nervousness, Jin Chuwan leaned back slightly and then quickly said...

"Go ahead and take a shower if you want, but you still need to go home after you shower. I... I'll go get you some clothes first."

After saying that, she hurriedly left the bathroom.

The man left behind had regret in his eyes, but he quickly smiled and lowered his head. A blush appeared on his elegant and handsome face, giving him a subtle and alluring look.

Unfortunately, it seems that some people's hearts are not with him.

When Jin Chuwan opened the wardrobe, her face was flushed. She looked at Jiang Chen's gloomy face, and before she could speak, she was pulled by the collar and bent down.

The man kissed her lips forcefully, as if venting his emotions, or as if washing away some trace, his soft lips and tongue tracing all the way down to her neck.

After a long while, he finally raised his head, his dark eyes filled with a suppressed danger.

He whispered in her ear, "I'm sacrificing myself so you can deal with him, not so you can indulge him..."
