Chapter 296 - 295: The Temptation of Going Home, The Changes in Currency
Upon Chen Yuran’s command, the fleet of the Heavenly King Group began their return journey immediately.
The Hidden Dragon Group and the White Wolf Group, both under Jianghai City Management Bureau, followed, taking the left and right flanks respectively for escort.
Along the way, all three fleets were extremely cautious.
They maintained a steady speed while exercising a high degree of vigilance.
Having survived an entire month of exploration in the Secret Realm, no one wanted any mishaps to occur as they embarked on the final leg of their journey home. Everyone was on high alert.
Having Quan Chang, an important guest, onboard, they simply couldn’t afford not to be cautious before returning to Longyu Country.
About two hours later, the three fleets sailed into Longyu Country’s territory.
Upon entering the country’s territory, they immediately encountered a naval battle group that had been arranged to meet them in advance.
Two aircraft carrier formations, plus six battleship formations, a total of more than 100 warships, provided an overwhelming sense of security.
After meeting up with the naval battle group, the members of the three fleets finally relaxed fully.
Entering Longyu territorial waters meant they were already home.
The voyage continued.
Nearing midnight, under the protection of the formidable naval battle group, the three fleets belonging to Jianghai Management Bureau safely returned to the waters near the eastern coast of Jianghai City.
On the coast, the reception personnel were already well prepared.
The Tactical Response Team of the Management Bureau, medical staff, firefighting units, special vehicles, all kinds of possible supplies were neatly arranged on the beach where the three fleets were to land.
It didn’t take long for every crew member to disembark.
However, unloading, gathering ships, and other necessary tasks would inevitably take some time.
Of course-
There was no need for the Heavenly King Group, Hidden Dragon Group, and White Wolf Group - who were not involved in the exploration - to worry about these things.
Once they were ashore, Bureau Chief Jiang Yini personally ordered the three groups to hand over the harvest from the Secret Realm to the reception personnel for counting. Afterwards, they were free to go home and take a half-month vacation.
Around three in the morning, all members of the three teams dispersed.
Li Jing, Chen Yuran, Yulian, and Jiu Li left with the Heavenly King Group and returned home.
...
The night was tranquil, silent.
Li Jing piloted the Spirit Soldier, bringing Chen Yuran to their villa in the Closed Moon Flower Garden.
The villa below was brightly lit.
Liu Sisi was standing in front of their home, eagerly waiting.
As soon as they began to return from the Secret Realm, Li Jing asked Chen Yuran to send a message to Liu Sisi, telling her that they would be home that night.
Seeing Liu Sisi waiting at the entrance, Li Jing wore a gentle smile on his face.
In front of the villa, Liu Sisi saw her husband returning home with Chen Yuran, and her face broke into a smile as well.
Seeing the married couple already making eye contact without yet landing, Chen Yuran glanced at Li Jing and spoke quietly.
"Well, I should get going. I’ll come over for lunch tomorrow. I won’t interrupt your... reunion."
Before she could finish her sentence, Liu Sisi on the ground called out.
"Yuran, hurry down. I’ve prepared a Spirit Chicken in the house."
Spirit Chicken?
Chen Yuran shivered all over, softening her voice.
"It’s rare for Sister Sisi to cook. I have to eat this meal, or it would be a waste of her kindness."
At her words, Li Jing burst into helpless laughter, and they lightly landed.
As soon as they touched down, Chen Yuran spoke up.
"You two chat away and no need to rush inside. I can go inside by myself."
Having said that, she quickly moved and headed straight for the house.
Li Jing watched and couldn’t help but smile at the corners of his mouth.
Chen Yuran’s foodie instinct, there was really nothing to say.
Spirit chicken, he wanted to eat too.
Liu Sisi had begun her retreat before he went to the Big Secret Realm. After that, he hadn’t had any for almost two months.
But compared to Spirit Chicken, what he wanted more was...
His gaze fell on Liu Sisi, who looked as delicate as jade, and Li Jing smiled.
"I’m back."
Upon hearing his words, Liu Sisi chuckled.
"You’re back? Do we need to be so formal?"
"Of course."
Li Jing replied, pulling her into his arms.
Sensing this, Liu Sisi frowned, quickly turned her head to glance at the house, and then gave Li Jing a petulant look before leaning into him obediently.
They say absence makes the heart grow fonder.
With his love in his arms, Li Jing was filled with emotion.
However, he quickly pushed those feelings aside.
With the temptation of home in front of him, was this a time for sentiment?
His powerful divine sense extended and confirmed that Chen Yuran had already begun battling the Spirit Chicken in the house. Without another word, he leaned down to give her a kiss.
Who would have expected Li Jing to be so eager?
Chen Yuran was still in the house! He was kissing her!
After being apart for almost two months, meeting this overwhelming mouth left her a bit stunned. As she gave Li Jing a couple of resentful punches to protest and snuck glances at the door of the house, she reciprocated the kiss.
She felt awkward though rather excited about such sneaky behavior.
However, she didn’t just let Li Jing continue.
She knew her own man’s ways.
If she really let him go, he would only become bolder.
Li Jing was the epitome of honesty before their marriage.
Afterward, he spent all his time teasing her!
After catering to him for a while, Liu Sisi reached for Li Jing’s waist and gave it a hard squeeze.
Li Jing instantly drew a sharp breath.
Given his physical strength, Liu Sisi certainly couldn’t pinch him.
Even if she used all her might, it wouldn’t be possible.
However, Liu Sisi was smart and sneakily sent a bit of the Freezing Power typical of her Cold Heart Physique over.
The Freezing Power could not damage Li Jing either.
But this extremely cold force slipped into Li Jing’s body, giving him a tangy feeling, like a chilly hand touching his back in the middle of winter.
This tactic-
Low damage, but highly effective.
Reluctantly releasing Liu Sisi, Li Jing let out a sigh of mixed frustration and amusement, and then he touched her with his frozen hand.
Cold as ice.
The clothes on his waist had frozen solid, like a piece of iron, even without any moisture.
Before he could react, Liu Sisi twisted her body and slipped away like an eel.
"That’s enough, don’t go too far."
With that, she bit her lip lightly.
"I know I’ve been in retreat for a while, and it’s my fault. I’ll practice with you later to make up for it."
Hearing her words, Li Jing raised his eyebrows.
Liu Sisi’s attitude was quite sincere.
"How long will we practice?"
Li Jing asked shyly.
"..."
Liu Sisi was speechless.
When it came to taking advantage, Li Jing became more and more perilously skilled, right?
"We’ll practice as long as you want."
Having thrown such a hard-hitting remark that got Li Jing rather excited, Liu Sisi turned around.
"Let’s talk inside. If you dawdle any longer, Yuran will finish the Spirit Chicken."
Hearing this, Li Jing hurried into the house.
The temptation of homecoming already had a "reservation".
He must eat that Spirit Chicken.
...
In the blink of an eye, it was evening on the following day.
Liu Sisi lay on the bed bewildered, doubt written all over her face.
She regretted a little, leaving such "harsh words" in the early morning.
As a human and a wife, she was very conscious.
Having not been by Li Jing’s side for almost two months, she ought to spend more time with him.
As for her, she missed Li Jing very much.
Before Li Jing left for the Secret Realm, the two could barely meet during her breakthrough intervals. But after that, they didn’t see each other for a whole month.
However, Liu Sisi had to admit.
She underestimated Li Jing, who had been "starving" for nearly two months...
His diligent efforts lasted from the early morning, when Chen Yuran left after having a full meal, until the evening.
Only when she pleaded for his mercy, when she could barely carry on, did the scene reluctantly come to an end.
Originally...
Liu Sisi believed that her successful entry into the Four Realm was a departure from the past.
No matter how capable Li Jing was, she should be able to withstand it.
But the reality was very painful...
At this moment, she only had one feeling.
Her waist, it was as if it no longer belonged to her...
After struggling twice at the head of the bed, Liu Sisi gave up the idea of getting up, lying flat in silence, feeling utterly incredulous.
Practicing with Li Jing was even more efficient than her medicated closed-door cultivation.
This, she was well aware of it.
What came as a surprise to her was...
In just one day since Li Jing’s return, her new Fourth Boundary cultivation was pulled to the middle-late stage of the Fourth Boundary.
Yes.
The middle-late stage.
Not just stepping into the middle stage.
But only one step away from the late stage!
This...
It was more outrageous than cheating!
Liu Sisi even wondered at one point if she had gone astray in her cultivation.
Usually, only when the practice method goes wrong and one deviates into madness, would there be a sudden explosive growth in one’s cultivation within a short period of time.
Given that she herself was healthy with no problems, Liu Sisi came to a conclusion.
Li Jing’s cultivation level had risen to an unimaginable height.
Dual Cultivation was a complementary process.
In the process, both parties benefited.
The one with the lower cultivation level would benefit more.
The bigger the gap in cultivation, the more one would gain.
Li Jing raised her cultivation by nearly two levels in just a few hours, which could only be the result of a huge discrepancy in their cultivation levels.
Now...
What level had Li Jing reached?
Liu Sisi didn’t dare to think about it.
Was it the Sixth Realm?
Perhaps even more...
Given the current pace, she was afraid she might be facing the threshold of the Fifth Boundary in a few days.
Although Li Jing had initially sent her to the threshold of the Fourth Boundary effortlessly, she had already been in the late stage of the Three Realm for some time, and was merely not sensing the bottleneck threshold.
Compared to each other, the gap was huge...
...
In the kitchen downstairs of the villa.
Li Jing, who had worked diligently all day, was in good spirits, preparing dinner.
He was unaware of Liu Sisi’s advancement in cultivation.
He only knew that his spiritual power had made considerable progress during the dual cultivation process, and then he was only half-fed.
Yes.
Half-fed.
He was not sure whether it was because his energy was too vigorous due to his body refining route, but he always felt that he couldn’t be "fed" enough.
Fortunately, his self-control wasn’t too bad, so he wouldn’t think about it all day.
After preparing dinner and serving it on the table, Li Jing took out a new phone he bought on his way downstairs and transferred a thousand spirit crystals to Ji Qing to reward her for the days she helped take care of Liu Sisi.
A few days after Liu Sisi finished her breakthrough, Ji Qing was sent back.
Yes.
She was sent back, not of her own accord.
It wasn’t because Liu Sisi didn’t get along with Ji Qing, or didn’t want her to stay here.
Mainly because this useless cat stayed at home all day, always playing online games with Xia Ai, neglecting meals and sleep.
Cultivation?
Out of the question.
She even didn’t care about her own business...
Liu Sisi couldn’t bear to watch her ruin herself like this.
Not only did she send Ji Qing back, but she also commanded Xia Ai to play online with her for only two hours a day, so as not to really ruin this cat.
About this, Li Jing relished it.
He knew Ji Qing’s problems better than anyone else.
Frankly, he couldn’t stand it either.
But he had no reason to meddle with her. As a good friend, the most he could do was to occasionally voice his opinion.
If he said too much, wouldn’t it become tiresome?
Now that Liu Sisi had become this "villain," Li Jing was pleased to see this.
Although Liu Sisi couldn’t possibly make Ji Qing this worthless cat repent, at least she restricted the time Xia Ai spent playing with her, curtailing the possibility of her continuing to degrade.
By the way.
What Ji Qing was recently obsessed with was a new shooting game called Elite.
Li Jing looked into it last night and strongly suspected that there were other transmigrators in this world apart from him.
Immortal King Glory existed when he transmigrated to this world and was already popular.
But this world didn’t have shooting games like Elite before.
It suddenly popped up.
And the mobile version was released before the PC version, and it became popular as soon as it was launched.
This didn’t seem right.
He felt as if there were other transmigrators from Earth who had joined the gaming industry and provided ideas for it.
Regarding this, Li Jing decided to verify it in the future when he had the chance.
Perhaps there were "old friends" from his world?
Getting back to the point.
The Spirit Crystal Bank that Chen Jing mentioned to Li Jing when he came out of the Big Secret Realm had been implemented and put into practice in Longyu, with all formal clauses introduced.
Money and Spirit Crystals had already been substantially divided.
Money, as the standard currency, could only be used for daily expenses hereafter.
All cultivation-related items could only be traded with Spirit Crystals, nationwide.
The two currencies could still be exchanged.
But the ratio was no longer a fair value of ten thousand money equal to one Spirit Crystal.
The establishment of the Spirit Crystal Bank directly led to its listing on the stock market.
Involving the stock market, the value of the Spirit crystal naturally fluctuated.
At this stage, the value of Spirit Crystals was continuously rising.
A single Spirit Crystal now equated to roughly thirteen thousand in money.
The value was still increasing, but it won’t rise much in the short term.
Spirit Crystals weren’t considered a new monetary system, but its official promotion by the Longyu officials affected everyone in Longyu.
People needed time to adapt.
The Spirit Crystal system promoted by Longyu officials also had a tremendous impact on foreign entities.
Spirit Crystals could be used universally across Blue Star.
However, not every power was like Longyu, with their excellent economic system — many powers had seemingly stable economies, but couldn’t withstand any significant turbulence.
If they tried to use Spirit Crystals as the designated currency for cultivation like Longyu does, their economies might just collapse immediately.
The current issue was that many powers which couldn’t establish Spirit Crystals as their designated currency were unable to keep up with Longyu’s pace and faced obstacles in international trade.
For the powers who couldn’t make Spirit Crystals their official currency, the increase in Spirit Crystal value equated to the devaluation of Longyu Coin.
In trades, should they accept Spirit Crystals or insist on Longyu Coin?
If they used Longyu Coin, they would suffer massive losses based on the original prices.
If they used Spirit Crystals, they’d still suffer a loss once they arrived in their own territories.
Without using Spirit Crystals as their official currency, for these powers these Crystals are merely consumable goods for bartering, having a standard value.
The only chance for a profit was to bring their Spirit Crystals to Longyu for use.
But doing so would mean recognizing the global promotion of Spirit Crystals and joining the system where Spirit Crystals serve as a standard currency, which could potentially detonate their own economy.
On the flip side.
Their own cultivation industries inevitably have to use Spirit Crystals, which are products of highly condensed Spiritual Qi.
This issue led to heated discussions on the international stage recently.
However, the promotion of the Spirit Crystal Bank was an inevitable trend.
For one, Longyu’s influence on a global scale was quite significant.
Secondly, it’s not just Longyu promoting the Spirit Crystal Bank policy, major powers like the White Hawk and the Northern God Kingdom are also pushing for the same policy. It’s quite obvious that these significant entities have conspired to change the monetary system related to cultivation.
Li Jing’s deposits were entirely exchanged for Spirit Crystals through the Dark Web Black Market at the beginning of the promotion of the Spirit Crystal Bank.
In his Black Market account, there are now a total of 3.47 million Spirit Crystals.
Li Jing had given instructions beforehand, and Xiaohuo made a substantial profit during the calculation and predicted the appreciation of Spirit Crystals.
On the contrary, the Dark Web Black Market hasn’t been flourishing recently, the business isn’t as good.
But this was inevitable.
With the Spirit Crystal Bank policy in play, the Dark Web Black Market has to follow suit.
But most Black Market merchants struggle to keep up.
The goods in the Dark Web Black Market come from all over the world.
Most of these under-the-table items come from those powers with economic issues that couldn’t keep up with the Spirit Crystal Bank policy.
Thus, a gap appeared in the Dark Web Black Market’s transactions. It is slowly recovering, but full recovery might only happen when Spirit Crystals truly become the global designated currency related to cultivation.
Not long after Li Jing transferred a thousand Spirit Crystals to Ji Qing, she quickly sent a message.
"Rich man, isn’t your nanny wage a bit too much? Even if I opened my small hotpot restaurant for a year, I might not earn that much. How about you sponsor me?"
Receiving this message, Li Jing found it both funny and annoying. After a moment of thought, he composed a reply.
"Sure, I’ll sponsor you. You don’t need to do anything, just quit the game. I’ll provide you with enough monster meat, wait until you have elevated your cultivation level to the Six Realm, and then continue to play."
It didn’t take long for Ji Qing to respond.
"The Six Realm is too far away, how about the Fifth Boundary?"
"No."
Li Jing responded.
"Well, forget it."
Ji Qing replied.
Li Jing grinned, giving up his persuasion.
This hopeless cat, truly incurable.
He even provided accommodation and didn’t require her to do anything; such good conditions could not save her.
What to do about her?
Just as he was about to put away his phone, Liu Sisi came downstairs.
Following a good amount of "resting," she barely managed to recover.
Seeing her coming downstairs, Li Jing gave a gentle smile.
"Sisi, why are you up? Don’t you want to lie down a little longer?"
Seeing his warm smile, Liu Sisi halted her steps, experiencing a phantom pain in her lower back.
She gave her waist a rub and grumbled.
"I’m hungry and came down for food."
Speaking of which, she glanced at the dining table and seeing the dinner was ready, she asked.
"Have you called Yuran over?"
"I just finished up with my work and haven’t gotten around to inviting her yet."
Li Jing responded.
As he prepared to message Chen Yuran, Liu Sisi suddenly spoke up.
"Hubby."
?
Li Jing was slightly taken aback.
It wasn’t the first time she had called him this.
But she usually didn’t use this term.
Before Li Jing could process her words, Liu Sisi walked over and began to take a careful look at him from head to toe.
Li Jing frowned at her actions.
"What’s the matter?"
"Can you tell me your current cultivation level?"
Liu Sisi asked.
"Ah, this..."
Li Jing blinked, hesitated for a while, and then told the truth.
"Seventh Realm."
Understanding that he has reached the Seventh Realm is something he must keep from outsiders.
But when dealing with his wife, it didn’t seem right to keep it from her.
The crucial point is that she asked about it.
After receiving Li Jing’s response, Liu Sisi took a deep breath.
Although she had conjectured when she was lying upstairs in a daze, getting actual confirmation was still a bit shocking.
Before her retreat, Li Jing was obviously only at the late stage of the Fifth Boundary.
Now he’s at the Seventh Realm?
Did he skip an entire boundary?
Seventh Realm!
That’s at the level of the Guardian Gods for a country!
Even stronger than her own mother!
Staring at Li Jing’s face, Liu Sisi asked in a strange tone.
"What exactly did you go through in the Big Secret Realm? How was your boundary elevated so quickly?"
"Just had a bit of luck."
Li Jing, pulling her by the waist, spoke.
"Help me keep this a secret, don’t say anything to Yuran. With the constraints of being at the Seventh Realm, if people know that I’m at the Seventh Realm, I’ll probably be restricted to sitting in the office from then on."
Listening to his words, Liu Sisi obediently nodded.
"Okay, I won’t blab."
She knew that Li Jing preferred field work than being stuck in the office.
Field work also seemed to present more opportunities for gains.
Especially for someone as capable as him, he usually managed to bring back benefits that others couldn’t.
The relatively relaxing office space was actually more of a restriction to him.
Li Jing wasn’t worried about Liu Sisi spilling the beans, and telling her was more of an offhand remark.
However, he was curious about why Liu Sisi suddenly asked about his cultivation level and asked her.
"Why are you suddenly asking about my cultivation level?"
"I just entered the middle stage of the Fourth Realm during this day, shouldn’t I find out the reason?"
Liu Sisi tilted her head in confusion.
"..."
Li Jing.
Mid-stage of the Fourth Realm?
This quick?
He had expected that his advancement to the Seventh Realm and dual cultivation would benefit Liu Sisi.
But this benefit seems a bit too exaggerated.
The impact of his spiritual power is slightly terrifying.
Any regular practitioner of the Orthodox Immortal Path, even if there were such a large gap in cultivation level between a husband and wife, the effect of dual cultivation could not be this effective.
Internally marveling, Li Jing realized a serious problem.
If Liu Sisi is already in the mid-stage of the Fourth Realm and if he pushes just a bit more, wouldn’t she have to breakthrough again?
Can he just ignore it?
Definitely not.
The problem is if she eats, there’s no guarantee he won’t have to endure the nights alone again.
This...
It’s a vicious cycle!
Seeing his inexplicably solemn expression, Liu Sisi was puzzled.
"What’s wrong?"
"I..."
Li Jing hesitated, speaking.
"I was just wondering...whether or not we should practice tonight."
"..."
Liu Sisi.
How was she supposed to take Li Jing’s response?
She had also considered this issue upstairs.
Looking at him with an expression that seemed reluctant to leave her yet eager to practice, Liu Sisi thought for a moment and spoke.
"It’s not a good thing to advance too quickly in cultivation. So far, my progress has been too fast. I haven’t even learned a few genuine Three Realm magic skills, let alone Four Realm skills. Right now, my cultivation level has increased, but I’m still lacking in many ways. Let’s slow down and wait a while?"
"I don’t mind."
Li Jing responded.
"I’m not in a hurry to go back to work at the Patrol Bureau, I’ll spend more time with you in these days."
"Sure."
Liu Sisi nodded, then suddenly gave a light chuckle.
"It feels good not to have to try by yourself. If I had known it would be like this, I would have given it to you earlier."
Li Jing was at a loss for words.
There was a major problem with Liu Sisi’s statement.
Indeed, with him around, she didn’t have to try.
But taking it for granted that she didn’t have to try, wasn’t this turning him into a tool?
Even though he was willing, she shouldn’t have this mindset.
Just as he was about to explain this to Liu Sisi, she unexpectedly glanced at him and spoke.
"Aren’t you planning to tell Yuran?"
"There’s no need."
Li Jing responded.
"I’ll tell her when the time comes..."
Before he could finish, Liu Sisi shook her head.
"You should think this through. Yuran will be gone for at least a year or two. When she returns, things might have changed."
Li Jing was taken aback.
Liu Sisi’s words definitely had a hidden meaning.
Being from two different worlds and born into a large family, Liu Sisi’s mindset is very different from his; he was aware of this.
Influenced by several factors including Jiang Jingxian, Liu Sisi occasionally insinuated that he should be with Chen Yuran.
Upon tasting this, he immediately understood the hidden meaning in Liu Sisi’s words.
This clearly wouldn’t work.
It’s not to say that his dual cultivation with Liu Sisi can be so efficient, but it’s not entirely because of spiritual power, but more likely because of her Cold Heart Physique.
How could Chen Yuran possibly engage in dual cultivation with him for the sake of advancing her realm?
Even if she does have feelings for him, would her competitive nature allow her to accept such a laid-back method of advancement?
Thinking about this, Li Jing furrowed his brows.
He noticed a problem.
He didn’t know if it was because his realm had risen or because living in this world had subtly influenced him, but he seemed to be less resistant to the idea of marrying two.
If it was before, he wouldn’t even consider it.
He rubbed his brow and spoke.
"Yuran has her own ideas. Neither you nor I have the right to influence her decisions, even if they’re about her life. Even Uncle Chen, who raised her, has no authority to interfere with her choosing her own path."
Hearing his words, Liu Sisi sighed, looking disappointed.
"I’m not telling you to interfere with her, what I meant is..."
She stopped talking halfway, changing her words.
"Nevermind, it’s not like it makes a difference with you being so clueless or Yuran, neither of you can sort out your feelings anytime soon. It’s not meaningful for only one of you to realize, Yuran needs to realize it herself."
After saying this, she waved her hand disinterestedly and walked towards the dining table.
"Call Yuran for dinner. She’s not leaving yet, so let’s all think about what activities we can do in the next few days."
Hearing this, Li Jing responded with an "oh" and took out his phone with a peculiar look on his face.
In regards to the problem he had just realized, coupled with Liu Sisi’s words, he had the feeling... that he seemed to have "realized" something.
This... won’t bring trouble, will it?
Shaking his head, Li Jing shifted his thoughts and sent a message to Chen Yuran to invite her to dinner.
...
Not long after, Chen Yuran arrived with the squirrel Xiaopang.
Having slept a whole day, Chen Yuran had completely refreshed herself.
After leading the Heavenly King Group in the investigation of the Big Secret Realm for so long, as the commander, she had a lot of stress.
There were opportunities for rest.
But in the Secret Realm, it was ultimately hard to rest well.
Sleeping on her own bed was a different type of experience.
Li Jing and Liu Sisi "toiled" for as long as she had slept...
Walking through the door, she saw Liu Sisi already sitting at the table waiting for her. Chen Yuran smiled at Li Jing, then gave Liu Sisi a radiant smile as she sat down.
Xiaopang naturally jumped down from her shoulder and climbed onto Liu Sisi’s shoulder.
Although Xiaopang, Chen Yuran’s "new favorite", had not yet learned human language...
As a Spiritual Beast, he had the intelligence to know that Chen Yuran and Liu Sisi were both good people, especially the latter who had a pocket full of Destiny Fruit.
Those with Destiny Fruit were good people, Li Jing being the exception.
Liu Sisi had already fed Xiaopang several Destiny Fruits the night before when Chen Yuran was eating the Spirit Chicken, so she was already familiar with this little guy.
Seeing it climb onto her shoulder, she smiled and gave it a few Destiny Fruits, then looked at Chen Yuran who was already eating eagerly.
"Yuran, do you want to go shopping with us after dinner?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Yuran paused and then realized that Liu Sisi wanted to spend more time with her before she left. She smiled back.
"I can’t tonight, how about tomorrow? I slept all day, I need to stop by the bureau later, also to let my dad know, and then see my mom."
"Okay, let’s wait till tomorrow."
Liu Sisi replied with a light smile, shifting closer to Chen Yuran.
Chen Yuran didn’t refuse, she smiled and shifted closer to Liu Sisi.
Li Jing watched as the two women snuggled up as if they were sisters.Regardless, he sat down and started eating.
...
