Li’s Mansion>>

It was late at night when Li Qiang drove in.

Xin Yan had already put the kids to sleep, and she was in the room, waiting for Li Qiang to return.

"Yan," Li Qiang called out when he walked into the living room.

Xin Yan heard her name, and she turned to give him a look.

"You are quite late today," Xin Yan commented with a smile.

"I was held up by something, were you waiting for me?" Li Qiang asked, as he pulled her into his arms when he got to her.

He sniffed her hair, and he sighed in relief. Li Qiang felt at peace just by having Xin Yan in his arms.

"If I don’t wait for you, who do I want to wait for? You are my life," Xin Yan was able to return Li Qiang’s energy, as she leaned into him.

"I have something to say to you," Li Qiang spoke up, breaking the silence in the room. His voice sounded urgent, and Xin Yan became worried at once.

"What is it about?" She asked him, leaving his embrace.

"Firstly, Wu Tang and I are friends again, this means we won’t have any issues anymore, rather, we would work together," Li Qiang informed her, and a smile appeared on her face, she had long expected this.

"That’s good news, I was expecting this, and I am glad you both have settled your differences, I should not be the reason two friends went separate ways," Xin Yan smiled.

The matter haunted her. She hated to be the reason two friends fought, and were about to tear each other’s throat.

"It isn’t your fault, it was never your fault, and it will not be your fault," Li Qiang assured her, and at the same time, he consoled her.

"There is another news, my uncle is back," Li Qiang said to her, his expression was grave.

Xin Yan frowned. She could sense that his emotions were unstable, and he was worried. Perhaps, this was the effect of the couple being soon madly in love, but Xin Yan could feel Li Qiang’s anxiety.

"Is he a bad person?" Xin Yan asked, her frown deepening.

"He is, Grandfather sent him out of the Li family, but now he is back, he perhaps must have heard about Grandfather’s disappearance, and he showed up," Li Qiang massaged his forehead as he replied to her.

"What will you do now? It is obvious he isn’t here to make amends, but he wants to battle with you," Xin Yan analyzed.

Due to this being her second life, Xin Yan could effectively make out the truth about someone, and she could conclude that this Li Qiang’s uncle isn’t someone nice.

"What do you suggest I do?" Li Qiang had his plans, but he wanted to hear what Xin Yan would say.

At the end of the day, he always prioritized her opinions, like it was his.

"I am aware you have your plans, but I am not sure mine tallies with yours, but here is what I think, it is best you have him investigated, and once you find out his secret because it is obvious he has secrets, then you can strike first,

I am not a fan of letting someone attack you first, before you fight back, since you have his secret in your hands, why wait until they attack you? It is best to strike first, it gives you a head start," Xin Yan replied.

And while others might think her words were vicious, the reverse was the case for Li Qiang. He could understand why she was speaking that way.

Her previous life shaped her to be who she is presently, and at the same time, her words made sense.

Once bitten, twice shy. If she had made the same mistake again, then her rebirth would have been for naught.

"I understand what you are saying, and it just so happens that your plans fall in line with mine," Li Qiang rubbed her head, she was such a cutie.

Li Qiang felt that it was saddening for such a cutie to have gone through such as she did, but he knew her self development was associated with her rebirth.

Xin Yan smiled when she heard his words. She had to admit that his words made her feel better. While that might not have been his original plan, it felt good to know he was willing to change his original plan.

"Where is your Uncle staying now?" Xin Yan asked curiously, her mind racing with several plans.

"He is staying at the ancestral mansion, if grandfather were to be around, he would not have done what he did today, or even show up," Li Qiang replied.

He had disdain for his Uncle. Others might not be aware, but he knew the reason for his parents’ deaths. His Uncle was the mastermind.

Li Qiang could have made it known, but he had no evidence, and in a society which is ruled by what they see, he could be shunned, and accused of trying to defame his uncle.

"The ancestral mansion? He surely has guts, why don’t we visit him tomorrow?" Xin Yan asked with a mischievous smile.

"No! Li Beichen is dangerous, and he might hurt you, I would not risk your life, we are not visiting him," Li Qiang was quick to refute. frёeωebɳovel.com

How could he put Xin Yan’s life in danger? That was something he could not do, he would rather die than think of it.

"Qiang, you need to relax, it won’t be long before everyone finds out he is in the Capital, and if they do, they could point fingers at us, at the end of the day, he is still our elder, and we need to accord him that respect," Xin Yan explained.

"What do you want to do?" Li Qiang asked as he squinted at her, for some reason, he felt that she was planning something big.

"Nothing much, I just want to pay my respects to him as your wife, he deserves that much, don’t you think?" Xin Yan asked, winking at Li Qiang, who shook his head.

Obviously, Xin Yan was up to something. What that was, he didn’t know, but he knew his Uncle had something coming for him tomorrow.

"You are definitely planning something, you might as well tell me, so I can be prepared for it," Li Qiang urged her to tell him what she was planning.

"You will find out tomorrow, consider it as me letting out your grievances on your behalf," Xin Yan smiled.

"Alright, enough discussion on what I am planning to do, it is time for dinner, do you want to have dinner?" Xin Yan asked, effectively changing the discussion.

"I will freshen up first, the girls are asleep, right?" Li Qiang asked.

"Yes, I put them to bed not too long ago, freshen up, and I will have the table ready for you," Xin Yan patted his shoulders, before she rose from his embrace, and walked to the kitchen.

Wu Tang’s Mansion>

Wu Tang decided to return to the mansion beside Li Qiang.

"Why do you allow us to shuffle between houses? At least, allow us to get used to one, but no, we have moved houses thrice in three weeks," Tang Mei was the one complaining.

Surprisingly, Wu Tang did not get angry with her incessant complaints, rather, he was in a good mood, he even whistled which irked Tang Mei immensely.

"I asked a question, the least you could do is give me a reasonable response," Tang Mei scoffed.

"What do you expect me to say?" Wu Tang turned to look at her, the smile on his face not reducing, in fact, it seemed to widen.

"Alright, I will tell you, that’s because you asked nicely, we would be staying in just a house, which we are heading to now, and also, Li Qiang and I have reconciled," Wu Tang informed her with a smile.

The driver who was driving was overjoyed. The news was definitely one of the best news he heard in a while. He has followed Wu Tang for a while, and he knew about the story between Li Qiang and Wu Tang.

He continually reminded Wu Tang that it was best to let go of his grudges.

Now that the boy he had watched grown up has let go of the grudges, it was natural he felt excitement.

"Ohh, that’s good," Tang Mei smiled.

When she thought about Li Qiang, her heart did not seem to hurt as it was supposed to. She was even shocked by this development.

’Could this mean I am letting go of him? Am I ready to embrace another relationship which is not with Li Qiang?’ She asked herself, falling into deep thoughts.

"We are home, I bet Tang Ni would be waiting for us, hey, Tang Mei, don’t you think we should have his surname changed?" Wu Tang was in a good mood as he asked, but Tang Mei was in deep thoughts.
