They snuggled for a while before they finally parted.

Having just moved in, the house still needed some tidying up, so Yuan Qingying got busy with it.

Li Chen casually picked up the phone on the table, messages had come through during their passionate moment, but he hadn’t paid any attention to them.

He checked to find that his sister-in-law had sent them, asking him where he was.

As he just got back, messages came in from the other end again.

The words carried a faint hint of melancholy.

Li Chen smiled helplessly.

Lately, he had indeed been spending a lot of time out and about.

It was Saturday today and the sister-in-law had a day off, surely missing him.

He got up, let Yuan Qingying know, and then headed home.

"Li Chen, you’re so busy every day that your sister-in-law hardly gets to see you."

Shen Mengxue leaned in, her face brimming with love and longing.

With no one else at home, Li Chen had no need for restraint and drew his sister-in-law’s perfect form into his embrace.

After a barrage of sweet nothings, Shen Mengxue’s face, once filled with wistfulness, gradually broke into a dazzling smile.

"Humph, you sure know how to make your sister-in-law happy! Today you’re punished with taking her shopping!"

Shen Mengxue hummed, but her face showed no sign of anger.

The two of them got ready and stepped out together.

They shopped for over two hours and then had dinner outside together.

As the sky slowly darkened, Shen Mengxue still wasn’t ready to go back, savoring the feeling of being together with him.

Li Chen drove to the same secluded lakeside they had been to before.

The scenery was beautiful, and there were few people around.

It was the perfect place for some privacy.

They snuggled by the lake, chatted for a while, and as he gazed at her beautiful profile, Li Chen felt utterly content.

The number of women by his side was growing, but his sister-in-law’s place in his heart was always at the forefront.

Even though he had already taken her perfect body, that feeling hadn’t diminished one bit.

Perhaps at first, he was smitten by her beauty and her perfect figure.

But as time went by, a deep affection had taken root and blossomed in the depths of his heart.

"Li Chen, your sister-in-law loves this feeling so much!"

"It’s only at times like this that your sister-in-law feels she truly belongs to you!"

Shen Mengxue looked up slowly and spoke with emotion.

"In my heart, sister-in-law, you’ve long been mine, and mine alone,"

Li Chen declared possessively.

He lowered his head and kissed her fair forehead.

The two of them stayed there in silence, chatting occasionally, enjoying the tranquil and leisurely time together.

It wasn’t until it was completely dark and a cool breeze blew by, making the figure in his arms shiver, that he took her back to the car and they drove home.

Sunday was as usual.

Li Chen and Jiang Qing did it several times, beautifully.

He spent the whole morning at the beauty salon, then he went to accompany Chen Weiwei in the afternoon.

She was still so beautiful, stunningly so, and every meeting with her felt like a sensation.

Moreover, after spending time together, their relationship had grown even closer.

Although they hadn’t yet taken that final step, Li Chen wasn’t in a rush.

He was happy and content just being with her.

Work at the hospital remained quiet.

He occasionally saw a few patients, all with minor issues that could be resolved with some tests and prescriptions.

Several days of calmness passed.

Until that Thursday afternoon when heavy rain poured down.

He suddenly received a call from Xiao Ya, who said she couldn’t get through to her sister and was a bit worried since she couldn’t leave at the moment.

Li Chen reassured her with a few words, saying he would go check on her at her home.

He informed Xu Jia, asking her to keep an eye on things, then left the hospital and headed straight for Xiao Ya’s house.

The home was empty.

Li Chen’s brow furrowed, amidst the vast sea of people, where on earth was he supposed to start looking?

Remembering the place where Xiao Ying had her job interview today, he hailed a cab and hurried over.

Dragon City CBD.

Outside a tall building, Li Chen found Xiao Ying.

She was squatting there, in a bit of a mess, her hair and clothes all wet and dirty, looking like she had been caught in the rain and had taken a tumble.

Her expression was listless, extremely downcast.

"Brother-in-law!"

That appellation made Li Chen pause for a second.

But considering his relationship with Xiao Ya, it seemed somewhat appropriate for her to address him that way.

Immediately, with concern, he asked, "What happened to you? Your phone was unreachable, your sister’s been worried about you..."

"I slipped and fell, got my clothes wet, the phone broke, and I failed the interview, sob sob..."

Xiao Ying murmured, the frustration pent up inside her finding an outlet as her emotions began to lose control, whimpering softly.

As she continued to hug her knees while squatting there, she looked even more pitiful.

Li Chen reached out his hand, then hesitated, somewhat unsure of what to do.

Right then, Xiao Ying lifted her tear-stained face, "Brother-in-law, am I really so useless?"

"My sister and I are twins, but since we were kids, she’s always been smarter than me, did better in school, and now she’s more successful, highly regarded by her superiors."

"And me, I can’t even find a job, sob sob..."

As she spoke, she burst into tears again, sobbing continuously, tears flowing unstoppably, on the verge of breaking down.

Li Chen watched, his heart aching for her.

After hesitating for a moment, he approached, took hold of her body, and gently lifted her up.

"Everyone has their own strengths, your sister has her talents, and you have your skills, there’s no need to compare like this."

"Really? Brother-in-law, you don’t think I’m useless?"

"How could I?"

Seeing her spirits lift slightly, Li Chen continued to comfort her, "Let me take you home first! You’re soaked through, you’ll catch a cold."

"Okay!"

Li Chen held the umbrella with one hand and supported Xiao Ying’s body with the other as they started to move forward.

"Ah!"

After just one step, Xiao Ying cried out, her face twisted in pain, "Brother-in-law, I think I sprained my ankle earlier, it hurts so much, I can’t walk..."

Li Chen looked down to see that her small leather shoe on the right foot was visibly swollen around the ankle.

It seemed she indeed had sprained her ankle.

Looking at the long flight of steps ahead, what to do now!

Hesitating, he said, "Then I’ll carry you down! You hold the umbrella."

It appeared there was no other option.

"Okay!"

Li Chen handed the umbrella to Xiao Ying, placed one arm around her slender waist, and slid his other hand under her knees, sweeping her up in a princess carry.

Her body was damp, and his fingers pressed against her skin as if caressing it closely.

Especially since her upper body was also wet, her ample chest was proudly on display, perfectly outlined.

Just one glance was enough to stir a whirlwind of distracting thoughts.

She was a real temptation.

But at this moment, he needed to rein in his thoughts and get her home first.

"Brother-in-law, you’re younger than my sister, aren’t you?"

"You must have carried my sister before! Who is heavier, me or my sister?"

They hadn’t even descended the steps when Xiao Ying, whether intentionally or not, wrapped her arms around Li Chen’s neck while holding the umbrella, asking shyly.

"Huh?"

Li Chen was taken aback.

Until now, her arms had been in front of her, so it wasn’t very noticeable.

But at that moment, the full, beautiful shape of her bosom was comprehensively revealed right before his eyes, leaving nothing to the imagination.

Plus, her arms encircling his neck were practically seducing him into committing a sin.
