Song Nuan put her hands on her hips, somewhat angry, "You're talking nonsense. I clearly saw you put the cola in the refrigerator just now."
He remained expressionless. "That's soy sauce."
She didn't believe it and got up to go to the kitchen to check the truth. She wasn't nearsighted; her eyesight was excellent, and she definitely couldn't have been mistaken.
“It’s cola, no doubt.” Li Jingchen pulled her back, then changed his mind, “You can’t drink it now.”
"Why?"
Your period is about to start.
Song Nuan was slightly taken aback upon hearing this. She hadn't thought of that. After roughly calculating the time, it seemed that it was indeed almost time.
While admiring his meticulousness, I couldn't resist the urge to sip. The refreshing feeling of drinking iced carbonated beverages in winter is different from that in summer. Drinking iced drinks in summer is to cool down, but drinking iced drinks in winter is the soul of the drink.
Besides, the villa had heating on, so it wasn't too cold.
"I'll just have a few sips." She tugged at his sleeve, looked up at him, her big eyes sparkling, making it impossible for him to refuse.
Li Jingchen covered her eyes with his large hand, interrupting the spell, "No."
She got angry and slapped his hand away with a huff. "If you won't let me drink it, then why did you buy it? Just to put it in the fridge as decoration?"
Li Jingchen is rarely home. Even when he is, she has never seen him drink any beverages, even though they have been together for so long. Surely he didn't buy them for himself?
Just as I was thinking this, I heard him say, "I'll drink it."
Song Nuan laughed, "If you won't let me drink, you're not allowed to drink either."
"I'm not letting you drink it for your own good, but what about you?" He raised an eyebrow slightly. "Do you want me to start trying to conceive?"
Song Nuan was stunned for a few seconds before she realized what he meant.
She smiled, tugged at his tie, and wrapped it around her hand again and again. When it was too short to wrap any further, she gave it a gentle tug. Li Jingchen swayed and leaned towards her, but quickly grabbed the back of the sofa to steady himself.
"Preparing for pregnancy is not out of the question."
He narrowed his long, narrow eyes, a glint of light in them. "Is that so?"
He loosened his tie as he spoke, a perfectly normal action, but now, watching it, I inexplicably felt it carried some kind of implication.
She looked away, coughed lightly to cover her embarrassment, and said, "Just kidding. I don't want to have children yet. Without a proper status, the child won't be able to get a household registration."
Li Jingchen was just teasing her, and smiled faintly when he heard her words, "If you want, you can go get the marriage certificate now."
Song Nuan pushed him away, "I'm hungry, hurry up and cook."
She always avoided the topic of getting a marriage certificate, and Li Jingchen knew this very well, but he was helpless about it.
The marriage agreement with the Zhong family is the biggest problem.
During the meal, Song Nuan suddenly remembered what happened that afternoon. "Windsor called me today. She's back in China. Did you know that?"
"Know."
Just as she had guessed, it was almost exactly the same.
Song Nuan glared at him, somewhat resentful that he hadn't told her beforehand, but after thinking it over, she realized that she couldn't expect him to report every single detail to her.
Let alone whether Li Jingchen has the time, even if he does, she might not have the patience to listen.
"Does she know that you brought Du Kangtao back?"
"The information is strictly controlled, and it shouldn't be possible for it to be leaked."
He abruptly changed the subject, "But the Wen family is not a family that can be easily fooled, especially since this is someone who poses a threat to them. It's not impossible that the Wen family knows about this."
"That……"
She was somewhat worried.
Li Jingchen said, "But since Windsor only wants to ask you about the situation, it proves that the Wen family is not sure whether the news that Du Kangtao is alive is true or false."
Given Wen Hua's methods, if he knew that Du Kangtao was still alive and in his and Ouyang Zhoujing's hands, he would definitely not sit idly by and wait for his death, but only send Windsor to inquire about the news.
"What should we do about Windsor?" Song Nuan said, sounding a little irritated. "I can't keep avoiding her."
"I will handle this matter."
...
Ouyang Chengyi has returned to Liangcheng.
I heard that as soon as I got off the plane, I ran into Windsor.
Enemies meeting are bound to be hostile. Ouyang Chengyi still harbored resentment over being forced to drop out of school by her. She was fully aware of the teasing she received from her friends in Liangcheng, and she had been holding her anger in ever since.
Now that he's seen Windsor, and she's still in Liangcheng, his own territory, how could Ouyang Chengyi let her go?
He slapped Windsor across the face on the spot.
Windsor was never one to be bullied. Without any hesitation, she grabbed Ouyang Chengyi's hair and started wrestling with her.
The scene was truly spectacular.
These were all things Song Nuan saw while browsing videos online. Of course, the videos were censored almost entirely after a short while.
With the Wen and Ouyang families pulling the strings behind the scenes, the entire topic was removed just ten minutes after it trended on social media.
Fortunately, Song Nuan was quick enough to join in all the excitement.
Setting her phone aside, she smiled at the man beside her. "Windsor and Ouyang Chengyi bumped into each other at the airport. What a coincidence!"
He was reading today's financial news without even lifting his eyelids. "There are countless coincidences in the world."
Song Nuan gave a meaningful "oh".
"Wasn't this arranged by you?"
He finally glanced at her. "If you already know, why ask?"
"Asking won't work either."
Before she met Li Jingchen, Song Nuan knew all about his fearsome rumors.
Or rather, everyone in Liangcheng who does business knows his methods: they are underhanded, but surprisingly effective. What's even more infuriating is that they are all legal and compliant, and there's simply no one who can do anything about it.
She looked at him, resting her chin on her hand, genuinely curious. "It's not hard to get Ouyang Chengyi's itinerary; just ask Ouyang Zhoujing. But how did you manage to trick Windsor into going to the airport?"
"Let me reveal some false information about your return to Liangcheng."
Song Nuan: "..."
She kicked him and laughed angrily, "You're something else. If she tries to pin the blame on me and thinks I'm playing her for a fool, I definitely won't let you get away with it."
Li Jingchen patted his pants, grabbed her leg, pulled her to his side, hugged her and kissed her, "No, she's in a precarious situation right now, she doesn't have the energy to hold a grudge against you."
"Can't even protect themselves?"
"Hmm," he said casually, with an absolute confidence that he had everything under control. "She's in the police station, fighting with someone. She won't be out for at least seven days."
Song Nuan exclaimed in surprise, "Didn't Ouyang Chengyi hit someone first?"
Li Jingchen chuckled, habitually stroking her soft, long hair. "Does it matter? As long as she makes a move, Zhou Jing won't let her go back unscathed. He'll at least skin her alive."
Too.
The Wen family and the Ouyang family already had a feud in Country A, and after today's incident, they have probably become mortal enemies.
"I didn't realize Ouyang Zhoujing was so ruthless."
"What good things do you think the four great families would produce?"
Song Nuan looked at him, "Are you talking about yourself?"
He clicked his tongue and flicked her forehead. "I'm talking about Zhou Jing. He's a very shrewd man. Don't be fooled by his usual smiling face; he can deal with people without batting an eye."
Song Nuan said "Oh," and added, "You just want me to stay away from him."
"Good to know."
