Chapter 576 - 575: Treating to a Meal
Chen Tianlong forced a bitter smile, feeling overly sensitive. Whenever he came to a new place, he would always be extremely cautious. However, it seemed like his vigilance was always justified, though he hoped it wouldn’t be this time, otherwise, he wouldn’t even be able to enjoy a meal.
Earlier, he had an encounter with a group of thugs, and Chen Tianlong felt that one of them looked familiar. Moreover, that person mentioned having a vendetta against him. After pondering, Chen Tianlong finally settled on the Xu Family, the Mo, and the Hao families.
After a process of elimination, Chen Tianlong remembered someone unlikely: Hao Jian.
The resemblance in the eyes was striking; if Hao Jian was indeed involved, the personality matched perfectly.
At this thought, Chen Tianlong was taken aback. Could Hao Jian have escaped from prison? As for his appearance not matching, it was no surprise to Chen Tianlong, as he knew of two techniques in this world that could change a person’s appearance.
Plastic surgery or disguise.
However, the difference in voice and personality was puzzling to Chen Tianlong.
Back to the present.
"Chuanting, order whatever you like, don’t stand on ceremony," Chen Tianlong said generously.
"Don’t worry, I won’t be polite," Fang Chuanting replied with a mischievous smile.
Seeing Chen Tianlong’s generosity, Fang Chuanting’s affection for him soared, as if she had reconnected with an old friend.
Some people only need half a day to connect, and Fang Chuanting and Chen Tianlong were two of those people.
"Hehe..." Chen Tianlong didn’t speak and began to place his order. He wondered whether anything significant would happen, as he had sensed, and decided he had to eat quickly at the very least.
Because it was a personalized self-service meal, their food was served quickly. At that moment, both Li Bingshuang and Chen Tianlong were wide-eyed, as Fang Chuanting had indeed been unreserved, ordering five dishes all by herself, including abalone and beef...
Chen Tianlong wasn’t surprised by the amount she ordered, but rather by her impressive appetite.
"Chuanting, eat as much as you like; we can order more if needed," Chen Tianlong said with a slight smile.
About ten minutes later, the three of them were mostly done eating, and Chen Tianlong put down his chopsticks, ordering three drinks.
The meal ended quickly without any major incidents.
Initially, Li Bingshuang planned to take the two back to her place, but since Fang Chuanting’s luggage was at the hotel and she had already paid for three nights, they sent her back there.
After Chen Tianlong and Li Bingshuang left, for some unknown reason, Fang Chuanting felt a bit melancholy. Ever since meeting Chen Tianlong, she had an unusual feeling—missing him, hoping to meet again in some corner someday.
Li Bingshuang drove, taking Chen Tianlong to her home.
In a sense, Chen Tianlong was her husband and naturally would stay with her that night. They hadn’t seen each other in half a year, and if Chen Tianlong was willing, Li Bingshuang wanted to have everything settled that evening.
After all, Li Bingshuang was sure that Chen Tianlong was someone she could entrust her life to.
Upon arriving home, Li Bingshuang headed straight to the shower, while Chen Tianlong, exhausted from a day of battles, lay on the sofa and drifted off to sleep unknowingly.
In a daze, a pleasant fragrance wafted into Chen Tianlong’s nose, causing a sense of fascination.
However, adept at a killer’s vigilance, Chen Tianlong reacted instantly and was greeted by an extremely seductive sight.
Possibly because Li Bingshuang had just finished showering, the clean and thin clothes she wore brought a slight thrill to Chen Tianlong.
"Chen Tianlong, go shower before you fall asleep," Li Bingshuang, aware of her own allure, hinted intentionally.
To her, Chen Tianlong was her husband, and since he rarely visited the Capital City, letting the visit pass insignificantly felt dull.
"Oh, I should’ve joined you," Chen Tianlong said teasingly.
"Are you sure? If you really want, I could shower again," Li Bingshuang calmly responded, sensing Chen Tianlong’s playful intent.
"Better not; I’m afraid something might happen in the shower," Chen Tianlong quipped with a mischievous grin, standing up from the sofa, patting his rear, and retrieving clothes from his bag before heading to the bathroom.
Honestly, Li Bingshuang was a tremendous temptation for Chen Tianlong.
A free wife, a beauty seemingly handed to him, many men would take advantage of just sleeping beside her for a few nights. Plus, she was the head of a massive group with assets worth billions—something many men couldn’t even dream of, yet Chen Tianlong hesitated time and again.
Truly, comparisons can be maddening!
Li Bingshuang instructed her staff to close the door and retreated to the bedroom, planning to spend the night with Chen Tianlong to ease the longing she had felt for days.
After showering, Chen Tianlong felt much more alert, but as he stepped out and passed through the hall, he suddenly saw a shadow flicker past.
Ordinary people couldn’t perceive such a movement; the speed was too fast.
"Not good!"
Thinking of Li Bingshuang in the room, Chen Tianlong dashed toward it, bursting through the door. The next moment, his eyes widened, as Li Bingshuang stood there, removing her intimate garment.
Typically, when home alone, Li Bingshuang disliked wearing intimate clothing. Now back in the bedroom, she habitually changed into more comfortable sleep attire, assuming Chen Tianlong wouldn’t finish his shower so quickly, allowing her to change in peace.
In any case, if Chen Tianlong had knocked on the door as a courtesy...
Unexpectedly, this guy charged right in, and before she knew it, he had seen everything.
So, she decided not to bother with putting anything back on—it was her husband after all. She might as well let him see his fill.
Chen Tianlong nearly had a nosebleed and quickly covered his eyes, stammering, "Bingshuang, sorry, it wasn’t on purpose, just now..."
At that moment, a shadow flitted past the floor-to-ceiling window, and the gust stirred the curtains. Knowing someone had entered, Chen Tianlong swiftly rushed forward, pulling Li Bingshuang into his embrace.
"Oh my, Chen Tianlong, what are you doing? Looking wasn’t enough—you actually dared to touch!" Li Bingshuang exclaimed in surprise, initially intending for him to take a good look, but unexpectedly, he took full advantage.
Though she acted nonchalant, deep down, Li Bingshuang felt a bit nervous; the reality of doing such a thing with Chen Tianlong was intimidating.
Despite her outward confidence, inside, Li Bingshuang harbored the heart of a novice, unacquainted with such intimate encounters.
"Bingshuang, don’t speak—someone’s here!" Chen Tianlong warned, his lips close to her ear.
Yet Li Bingshuang found herself overwhelmed by peculiar sensations, a tingling pleasure that enveloped her.
Intent and focused, Chen Tianlong paid no attention to her reaction, unaware she had tightly hugged his waist.
"Swoosh!"
Suddenly, the lights in the room went out, leaving it pitch black.
Startled, Li Bingshuang realized something was off and whispered, "Chen Tianlong, is something wrong?"
"Yes."
Without further explanation, Chen Tianlong closed his eyes and began channeling the Heart Method.
Only this way could he ensure their safety, as the intruder was peculiar, extraordinarily fast, and whose skills he couldn’t gauge.
"Chen Tianlong, so what about us...?"
"Shh!"
Chen Tianlong quickly hushed her, signaling Li Bingshuang to remain silent.
