Chapter 97 Xiangmei, do you miss me?



Li Huan called out several times, but Sun Shangxiang did not come out of the bedroom.

The maidservant rushed over and told Li Huan that Sun Shangxiang had gone to the Zhou residence.

Li Huan didn't ask any further questions and drove away directly towards Zhou Yu's residence.

A light drizzle was falling as noon approached.

Upon arriving at the Zhou residence, Li Huan felt a slight tremor in his heart.

Because at the main gate, long white cloths fluttered in the wind, and the guards were dressed in mourning clothes.

What a coincidence, Zhou Yu has kicked the bucket!

The red electric tricycle parked at the entrance was extremely eye-catching.

Upon seeing Li Huan, the guards quickly entered the residence to report.

Li Huan thought to himself, "Zhou Yu was angered to death by me. If I show myself now, it will inevitably cause a conflict."

I can't match Zhuge Liang's acting skills, so I won't resort to the "mourning" act.

Just as Li Huan was pondering this, a group of people rushed out of the mansion!

They were all dressed in mourning clothes, holding long swords, their eyes wide with anger, surrounding Li Huan.

Leading the group were veterans Huang Gai and Cheng Pu!

"Li Huan, you little brat!" Huang Gai angrily cursed, "You angered Governor Zhou to death, now pay with your life!"

Now, Li Huan is so powerful that he doesn't take Huang Gai and the others seriously at all.

He sneered, "You bunch of brutes, are you tired of living? Do you want to be buried with Zhou Yu?"

Huang Gai was so enraged that he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

Cheng Pu's eyes were bloodshot as he roared, "Take Li Huan's head! Use it to pay tribute to Governor Zhou!"

Li Huan suddenly leaped up, kicking the long sword out of Huang Gai's hand, and then kicked Cheng Pu to the ground, stepping on him.

"I'm still Wu Guotai's son-in-law! Don't you even have the most basic respect?"

Huang Gai yelled and picked up the longsword.

"stop!"

With a delicate shout, Xiao Qiao and Sun Shangxiang quickly approached.

"Li Lang!" Sun Shangxiang's eyes were filled with excitement, and she couldn't help but smile.

Li Huan waved and greeted, "Xiangmei! Mrs. Zhou!"

Xiao Qiao, dressed in mourning clothes and looking haggard, said, "General Huang, you mustn't be rude to Mr. Li Huan!"

Huang Gai shouted, "Li Huan angered Governor Zhou to death! I will not be able to quell my hatred until I avenge this!"

Xiao Qiao said, "Zhou Yu's dying words did not include any instructions for revenge. Why should General Huang make an enemy of Mr. Li Huan?"

Sun Shangxiang said sternly, "You besieged Li Lang, showing no regard for me or Lord Wu!"

In an instant, Huang Gai calmed down a bit.

Cheng Pu endured the pain and got up, pointing at the electric tricycle.

"Madam Zhou, please look! Li Huan deliberately drove this red car to our door, clearly a provocation and disrespect to Governor Zhou!"

Xiao Qiao and Sun Shangxiang stared in surprise at the upgraded, stylish electric tricycle.

Li Huan retorted, "I just returned to Wu County and was unaware that Zhou Yu was dead. I was eager to see Xiang Mei, so I drove to the Zhou residence. How could I have deliberately come to provoke them?"

"Cheng Pu! To express our condolences and respect for Zhou Yu, first paint your front door and house white!"

Cheng Pu was speechless.

Xiao Qiao said, "Mr. Li Huan, please calm down and come into the mansion."

Li Huan took Sun Shangxiang's hand and followed Xiao Qiao into the Zhou residence.

"When will Zhou Yu's funeral be held?" Li Huan asked as they walked.

Xiao Qiao replied, "After the memorial service tomorrow, the coffin will be sent to my hometown for burial."

Her tone was calm, and her expression was not particularly sad.

Li Huan then asked, "Where is Master Hua Tuo?"

Xiao Qiao said, "After Zhou Yu's death, Master Hua Tuo took his leave and returned to Jiangling."

Li Huan understood that Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang, and others were currently in Jiangling, using it as a temporary base.

Upon arriving at the mourning hall, Li Huan paid his respects and expressed his condolences to Zhou Yu, unable to help but feel emotional.

"Since Zhou Yu was born, why was Huan born too!"

These words echoed in Li Huan's ears.

Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu, if you had paid your lunchbox earlier, you wouldn't have died of anger, and you would have lived a few more years.

Li Huan said to Xiao Qiao, "I promised Madam Zhou that I would give her the family's secret sauce and precious seasonings..."

Before Li Huan could finish speaking, Xiao Qiao shook her head: "Zhou Lang is no longer alive. What use would I have for his secret sauce and precious ingredients?"

At the funeral hall, Li Huan could not say much, and could only offer a few words of comfort.

Afterwards, Li Huan and Sun Shangxiang bid farewell and left the Zhou residence.

After carefully examining the electric tricycle, Sun Shangxiang hurriedly asked, "Did you buy this new vehicle in a foreign land?"

Li Huan laughed and said, "Yes, this year's new electric tricycle has a closed cab, reinforced bumpers, a spacious rear compartment, and excellent performance. It's worth having!"

"I'll drive!" Sun Shangxiang smiled as she stepped into the carriage and admired the dashboard.

Li Huan, sitting beside him, reminded him, "Use the same driving method as the previous tricycle."

Sun Shangxiang turned the car key, turned the handle, and slowly accelerated.

"This car is more spacious and stable than the previous one, and it's not afraid of wind or sun, nor rain or snow!"

Sun Shangxiang spoke excitedly, honking her horn, which startled passersby who hurriedly scrambled to avoid her.

Li Huan reached out and put his arm around Sun Shangxiang's waist: "After I leave, will you miss me?"

Sun Shangxiang blushed slightly, her smile shy and sweet: "Of course I miss you..."

Taking the opportunity, Li Huan said, "How about I take you to a foreign land overseas and stay for a year or two?"

"Alright!" Sun Shangxiang looked ahead and turned the corner just in time. "When do we set off?"

Li Huan said, "Today or tomorrow."

Sun Shangxiang said, "We must pay our respects to Governor Zhou tomorrow. How about we set off the day after tomorrow?"

Li Huan nodded in agreement.

They sped all the way back to the Eastern Prefecture.

The electric tricycle stopped in the yard. As soon as Sun Shangxiang's feet touched the ground, Li Huan picked her up and carried her into the bedroom.

"Li Lang... wait until it gets dark... um..."

In an instant, Sun Shangxiang was unable to speak, swept away by the raging waves, like a small boat tossed about...
