After lunch.

Li Lan personally drove her younger brother to the airport. Tian Run'e and Li Jianguo's couple didn't go, but went to the pastry shop to help.

Chen Zijin also didn't go to see him off, because a certain man wouldn't let her, saying she should stay at home and calm down to "protect the fetus." She was between laughter and tears, not knowing if there was a fetus in her belly? Finally, unable to win, she also followed her father-in-law and mother-in-law to the pastry shop, just to relax.

Passing by a newsstand, Li Heng called to stop the car, got off, and bought several newspapers.

Li Lan glanced outside, "Congratulations, younger brother, your new book seems to be quite a bestseller. These past few days, people have been queuing up to buy it at Xinhua Bookstores everywhere."

Li Heng had been busy accompanying Song Yu and Zijin and hadn't paid much attention to things outside, "How is it selling?"

Li Lan asked back, "Didn't you read the news yourself?"

Before he could reply, she reacted again, "Oh, that's right. You've been busy making a little person; you really didn't have the energy."

Li Heng: "......"

Li Lan asked a question similar to Tian Run'e's, "If Zijin is pregnant, do you hope for a boy or a girl?"

This remark reminded him of his previous life.

In his previous life, the first child Zijin gave birth to for him was a girl, and the second was a boy; the siblings were 2 and a half years apart.

Just don't know if this life will still follow the original order? Girl first, then boy?

Will the child in this life still be the treasure from the previous life?

Different time, different cells, the child in this life might not be the child from the previous life... Once thinking of these, Li Heng felt a sense of dullness inexplicably in his heart.

In his previous life, although he didn't marry Zijin, Zijin's children were quite filial to him, and the family relationship was very good.

It had been 3 years since he was reborn, and he suddenly missed the children from his previous life infinitely: How are they doing? Are they okay?

After waiting for a while without waiting for a reply, Li Lan asked, "What? Is it difficult?"

Li Heng slowly came back to his senses and said, "No, boy or girl is fine. I'm not picky."

Li Lan glanced at him, "You're not picky. But if Zijin is really pregnant, many people will secretly pay attention. I think Zijin probably hopes to give birth to a boy too."

This remark made him fall into deep thought.

Li Lan worried for him and said, "Letting Zijin get pregnant now is actually not a very mature idea. Have you ever thought about what the reaction will be if Zhou Shihe and Yu Shuheng find out? Will it be a mess? Will they leave you?"

Li Heng replied, "What you said is all fact. But Zijin is my woman. Just like you said, I have already failed her. On the matter of children, I can't let her feel cold again, so I won't think so much."

Li Lan said, "You are indeed nostalgic."

Li Heng looked ahead, "Zijin has special significance to me; it's different. If it weren't for the Chen family's obstruction, would I marry her in this life? Or marry Song Yu? It's hard for me to choose."

Li Lan was surprised, "I didn't expect Zijin to have such a high status in your heart. You still have some conscience."

As she spoke, she asked again, "By the way, you mentioned Song Yu and Zijin, why don't you mention Xiao Han?"

Li Heng didn't make a sound. He couldn't tell his second sister that Xiao Han was his wife from his previous life, so naturally, he prioritized Song Yu and Zijin in this life.

But it was only a priority. He still loved his black-bellied wife very much, and he would try his best not to fail her in this life.

Arriving at the airport, Li Lan parked the car on the side of the road, "Younger brother, go to the waiting area yourself. I won't get off the car; I still have something to do and have to rush back to handle it."

Li Heng nodded, "Okay, pay attention to safety while driving on the road."

Opening the door, getting off, waving goodbye, and turning to walk towards the airport.

After 3:00 PM, an airplane took off from Jingcheng. During the climbing phase, Li Heng felt a bit uncomfortable in his stomach, but once he reached the stratosphere, he slowly recovered.

Just as he stabilized his emotions and was about to open the newspapers he bought to browse, he found that the uncle in the seat next to him was also reading a newspaper, and the news headline was shockingly: Exposing the Wealth Code Behind the Bestselling "Dust Settled"!

Whoa! This headline was quite unique.

His eyesight was good. Through his sunglasses, he read ten lines at a glance and quickly finished reading the news content.

In just 20 days, "Dust Settled" sold 3.81 million copies!

Tsk tsk, this terrifying speed! This terrifying increase!

Damn it, even he himself was scared!

The article analysis pointed out: The reason why the legendary writer December's new book was so popular was still related to his reputation.

"To Live," "Cultural Bitter Travel," and "Bai Luyuan" had already built a reputation for writer December, building a wall that made many readers evolve from initially supporting him to the current fanatical attitude.

Just as the article said: With the good foundation laid before, even if December's new book were a piece of shit, many people would still pay for it. This is the power of "faith." Not to mention that "Dust Settled" is a rare masterpiece, and the legendary writer is still continuing to write legends!

Quickly finishing the article, Li Heng couldn't help but think of a sentence: Blizzard production, must be a boutique.

Because World of Warcraft was too successful, even if Blizzard company later produced many garbage games, countless sentimental people still paid for it.

Li Heng's reputation and the reputation of the game company Blizzard were the same to some extent, having the same wonderful effect.

The middle-aged uncle felt his gaze, turned his head to look at him, and seeing him wearing sunglasses and a duck-billed cap, thought he was a celebrity and instantly lost interest.

Damn it, ignored. Li Heng laughed to himself, withdrew his gaze, opened the newspaper he bought, and started reading.

Because "Dust Settled" was too popular and had a wide audience, many media newspapers were now discussing this topic while it was hot. Even if you flipped through a newspaper casually, you could find news related to yourself.

Li Heng read eight or nine news reports roughly and found that most supported him, but derogatory voices also existed.

The reasons those people used to belittle him were the same over and over: saying "Dust Settled" couldn't compare to "Bai Luyuan," saying his level had slipped significantly.

Having been in the industry for several years, Li Heng was now an old hand and had long been accustomed to these abuses and criticisms. He found two more news reports related to himself, finished reading them, then closed the newspaper and closed his eyes to take a nap.

From yesterday afternoon to evening, 7 times of opening the valve, the consumption was a bit high. Although with his ability, it wouldn't reach the point of hurting his muscles and bones, he still took precautions to adjust his body and always maintain a peak state.

Well, always maintaining a peak state might be a bit unrealistic, but according to his experience in his previous life, after 55 years old, he was still full of vitality.

Xiao Han, Song Yu, and Zijin, the three women, were still no match for him.

But then again, this life is different from the previous life. There is an extremely inner-charming Mai Sui, which makes him look forward to it immensely, and also makes him want to be mentally prepared early.

Perhaps, Mai Sui's individual ability to withstand attacks is enough to rival the three black-bellied wives, maybe even more.

Thinking messily, 2 hours passed unconsciously, and they arrived in Shanghai.

Following the flow of people out of the airport, Li Heng saw Yu Shuheng at a glance near the exit.

She was dressed in black, cold and aloof, with a tall figure and a rich scholarly temperament. She was simply a crane standing among a flock of chickens in the crowd, and the people around her seemed dim and lusterless in front of her.

Li Heng walked over and habitually called out, "Teacher, you're here."

Yu Shuheng nodded and asked with a warm smile, "Why are you carrying so many newspapers?"

Li Heng said, "I was afraid of being bored, so I bought some to pass the time on the plane."

There were many people here, and after the two chatted briefly, they tacitly walked towards the outside of the airport.

Before long, the two entered the Mercedes-Benz one after another and left this place.

Driving forward for about four or five miles, suddenly the car turned into a small road and stopped beside a cluster of thatch.

Li Heng was stunned, thinking that the teacher was going to kill someone? She even chose the place to dump the body?

Just as this absurd thought arose, a teasing voice came from his ear, "What are you thinking about?"

Li Heng turned his head to look at her, "What kind of operation is this? It doesn't look like you."

Yu Shuheng stretched, muttered "a bit tired," and then fell on the seat to rest.

Li Heng examined her carefully for a while. After a long time, he tried to lean over.

Yu Shuheng looked at the head close at hand, smiled, and didn't make a sound.

After staring at each other for a while, Li Heng kissed her very knowingly.

Yu Shuheng didn't avoid it either, slightly opening her mouth to cooperate. The red tongues intertwined, and before long, the two mouths were soaked.

As time passed, Yu Shuheng's body became softer and softer, and her breathing became more and more rapid. At a certain moment, she pulled away from his mouth, stroked his face with her right hand, and said softly, "Little man, I've been jealous these days."

Li Heng realized that the woman in front of him was truly jealous.

She wasn't jealous of Mai Sui, not jealous of Xiao Han, not jealous of Huang Zhaoyi, and not jealous of Chen Zijin. But she was jealous every time of Song Yu, Zhou Shihe, and Wang Runwen.

Li Heng didn't say any comforting words, reached out to help her unbuckle the seat belt, then opened the door and got off, picked her up, and walked towards the depths of the reed grass.

Yu Shuheng, who was being carried in a princess carry, smiled elegantly, hooked her hands around his neck, "Little brother, what are you doing?"

Li Heng looked around, "Looking for a geomantic treasure land; I want to help the teacher dig a water well." ===== CHAPTER 704 =====
