I have ten trillion licking dog gold

Before turning off the car, Li Shurui glanced at the time.

9:48
Then, she looked out the car window.

The mansion, worth 200 million yuan, was brightly lit, its lights illuminating the thick night, creating a bright and warm atmosphere.

But for some reason, she had a vague feeling that something was not right.

After their argument, they made up, so she didn't need to pretend by working overtime. She came home so late today because she had no other choice.

It's all Luo Peng's fault.

Work is her duty, and she could have left at 7 p.m., but Luo Peng insisted on taking her out for a late-night snack and even invited Bai Zheli, which is why it's been delayed until now.

Hi.

Mr. Luo's work ability is indeed outstanding; he completed the task exceptionally well.

After sitting in the car for a while, feeling that something was wrong but unable to figure out what it was, Li Shurui pushed open the car door, stepped out, and walked slowly towards the door in her high heels.

The moment she stepped into her home and passed through the entryway, she immediately knew where the problem lay.

"What's going on here?"

As expected, there are no intuitions without a reason.

Looking at the mess of furniture scattered about, Li Shurui was stunned.

Oops.

Even the television was smashed.

But there was another guy sitting calmly in the "ruins," looking completely at ease from behind.

After a moment of hesitation, Li Shurui continued walking forward.

The person finally turned around, and his expression... was quite strange, beyond description.

Li Shurui felt an even greater sense of unease.

From acquaintance to friendship to love.

She had never seen him look like this before.

"what happened?"

After looking around, Li Shurui quickly calmed down and asked calmly, displaying her composure.

Although she came from an ordinary working-class family, environment can shape a person. One cannot choose one's birth, but one's character can be cultivated.

Someone twitched the corners of their mouth, trying to force a smile, but just like in life, sometimes even one's own body is beyond one's control.

"Liuli got into a fight with someone."

Not only was he unable to control his facial expressions, but his voice was also somewhat hoarse.

"Liuli is back?"

Li Shurui noticed his unusual behavior, but remained calm and looked upstairs.

"Ah."

"Don't tell me it's Miss Lan."

Li Shurui walked over and sat down beside her.

Feeling dizzy and lightheaded, Jiang Chen took a deep breath: "It's... a friend of mine from abroad."

"Physical discomfort?"

Jiang Chen shook his head. "No."

It's obvious she's saying one thing but meaning another, but smart women understand one thing.

It's rare to be confused.

"Why did Liuli get into a fight with your friend?"

When her house was vandalized, Li Shurui was not angry at all; instead, she smiled and asked...

"No one was hurt, right?"

“My friend suffered minor injuries. Liuli didn’t know her and thought her house had been burgled. I happened to be in Wusheng’s room when I heard the noise and ran out. She was already like this by then.”

Li Shurui nodded. "It's okay, we can just call a housekeeper to clean up tomorrow."

There's a reason why it has survived to this day despite its humble origins and being surrounded by powerful enemies.

Looking at his understanding girlfriend, Mr. Jiang's heart was filled with even more turmoil, and he remained silent.

Where is your friend? Did they go to the hospital?

“I let her stay here for one night.”

Sakura initially insisted on leaving, but someone got angry, so Sakura ended up staying.

It stands to reason.

As a loyal follower, she would only obey one person's orders; no one else could possibly make her submit.

"You do not mind right?"

"What's there to mind? There are so many rooms."

Li Shurui smiled dismissively, "Didn't your friend tell you beforehand that he was coming to see you?"

Jiang Chen forced a smile. "The people there aren't as polite as we are."

Li Shurui smiled and casually asked, "Where are you from?"

"Eastern Japan".

Li Shurui nodded, noticing the phone that was still lying on the ground.

"He dropped his phone and never picked it up."

She bent down, picked it up for her, and handed it to the other person.

Forget about the phone, if she didn't come back, someone might just sit here in a daze all night.

"I'll go see your friend."

Li Shurui stood up. Indeed, there were far too many formalities in China.

"Need not."

Jiang Chen grabbed her wrist. "She's rather withdrawn and doesn't really like interacting with people."

Li Shurui was surprised and didn't insist anymore. "Then I'll go upstairs and take a shower first."

Jiang Chen hummed in agreement.

She is truly too understanding.

This isn't because she noticed her boyfriend was distracted, but rather wanted to let him calm down.

What do you want?

After Li Shurui went upstairs, Jiang Chen lowered his head, looked at the phone in his hand that wasn't broken, and gradually tightened his grip.

At that moment, he actually had more reason to call, but he lost his courage.

You should know that his achievements today are all thanks to his thick skin and courage.

"call--"

Someone slowly leaned back on the sofa, staring blankly at the ceiling.

Sakura brought two pieces of news.

Each one is more explosive than the last.

Especially the second piece of information.

This made him feel lost and helpless once again after many years.

The last time was when his father left him, after his mother.

Yes.

He is a person who is very good at comforting himself.

But self-comfort is not a solution for all situations.

Fujiwara no Reiki is pregnant.

Then the problem is coming.

child.

Whose?
Du Zheye?
According to the established lineage, they are undoubtedly worthy of the title. However, in this day and age, if paternity testing could be conducted based solely on the established lineage, then there wouldn't be so many heartbroken and miserable people in the genetic testing departments of hospitals.

When a man reaches a certain stage in his life, he imagines the moment he becomes a father, just like a woman.

Jiang Chen was no exception.

Actually, he had already rehearsed the incident when Li Shurui made a blunder near graduation.

At that time, he felt shocked, bewildered, joyful, and apprehensive... his emotions were quite complex, but none of them compared to the feelings he had now!

of course.

Compared to when I was in college, being a father now is undoubtedly more relaxed and in line with a normal life trajectory.

but.

Why Fujiwara no Reiki?!
They were still thinking of drawing a clear line.

In the blink of an eye, it became wishful thinking.

Master bedroom.

When Li Shurui came out of the shower, she found that someone had not yet come upstairs.

She wasn't in a hurry. She didn't greet the guests, nor did she go to find Duanmu Liuli or the Martial Saint. Instead, she sat in front of her dressing table, leisurely doing her skincare routine.

"Clap."

The door opens.

Someone walked in, seemingly having come to terms with the situation.

"Go take a shower."

Li Shurui patted moisturizing lotion onto her face in front of the mirror.

Jiang Chen walked over and stood behind her without saying a word, acting strangely.

Li Shurui looked in the mirror and smiled, "Get to the point." This person was an honest man; he dared to admit he slept with Fang Qing, but he still didn't have the courage to tell the truth about the news Ying brought.

He was struck dumb, let alone Li Shurui.

"Say something, please don't do that, it's scary."

In the mirror, someone who had been standing there like a ghost finally opened their mouth.

"I have a question for you. Answer honestly."

Li Shurui frowned in surprise, her eyes meeting in the mirror, and continued patting her face.

"You said."

"Have you been...using contraception all along?"

Caught off guard, Li Shurui turned around and asked, bewildered, "Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

The person fell silent again.

Li Shurui smiled again, as if she understood, and said decisively, "No."

immediately.

She quickly added, "My health is also fine."

The person remained silent, but the meaning was clear.

If a couple has been together for two years without any sign of pregnancy, they should go to the hospital for a checkup. But if you count the days, they've been together for much longer than two years.

Li Shurui tilted her head, looking at him meaningfully, "Why do you suddenly want to have a baby? I thought you didn't want to be a father too early."

No matter how smart she is, she's not a god, and human imagination is also governed by logic.

Li Shurui could never guess what kind of news the guest staying tonight had brought; she could only speculate on the other party's motives for asking the question based on recent events.

Didn't he and Fang Qing finally end their twenty-year-long relationship and get married?

Then ask her why she hasn't gotten pregnant.

Isn't this... a statement?

"Are you ready to be a father?"

Li Shurui smiled gently, her eyes filled with tenderness, presumably having completely dispelled any lingering resentment in her heart.

woman.

Actually, they're very easy to coax.

Even if someone did it unintentionally.

Do you think I can be a good father?

There's not much room for advance preparation in the world. Take fatherhood, for example; many people are forced into it.

Li Shurui did not answer immediately, pretending to think about it.

"You think I'm not good enough, right?"

Li Shurui asked meaningfully, "What do you think?"

Yes.

With a mountain of romantic entanglements, and a child born with stepmothers everywhere, how dare you ask such a question?
"You haven't answered me yet."

Jiang Chen seemed to realize he was in the wrong and changed the subject.

"Answer what?"

Someone's gaze shifted downwards, "Your stomach..."

Li Shurui's face flushed, and at the same time, she was a little annoyed. Sitting down, she slapped the thigh of the standing man.

"Aren't you annoying? Tell me yourself, how much time do you spend at home?"

I'm not forcing people to tell the truth.

Although we've been together for quite some time, what's the point if we're apart so often?

Pregnancy is something that requires a certain amount of time to develop.

After being scolded, the man seemed to suddenly realize his mistake, picked up his girlfriend around the waist, and strode towards the bed.

"What are you doing! You haven't showered yet!"

Caught off guard, Li Shurui tried to hit the other person, but to no avail. With a cry of surprise, she was roughly thrown onto the bed.

As an old married couple, they should pay more attention to romance. Li Shurui did not sit idly by. She raised her right leg and stretched it forward, causing her nightgown to slip down. Her seemingly fragrant toes pressed against the man who was about to pounce on her, and she blushed just the right amount of shyness.

"Go take a shower."

"Let's talk about it later."

Someone wildly took off their coat, and suddenly, "thud," something fell onto the bed.

Li Shurui glanced at it out of the corner of her eye, then sat up and picked up the book with a puzzled look. "What is this?"

The atmosphere was stagnant.

Tonight's exciting events made me forget about this.

"Martial arts manuals".

The person stopped making any further moves, knelt by the bed, and suddenly seemed to regain their senses.

"Martial arts manual?"

Li Shurui looked up, her eyes wide. "Really?"

This is probably not a delaying tactic.

As a normal person, who wouldn't be curious about anyone?

"It was given to me by Liuli."

Did Duanmu Liuli give it to you?

That must be true.

Li Shurui's interest grew even stronger; despite it being a time for romance and celebration, she found herself reading a book.

Can ordinary people practice this?

Suddenly, for some reason, Li Shurui froze, her beautiful fingers resting on the pages, no longer turning them.

"Ordinary people can't practice this; it requires a certain foundation and comprehension."

Jiang Chen said that at the same time, he wanted to take the book back. It went smoothly, and Li Shurui did not resist at all, letting him take the book back.

Jiang Chen got out of bed, put his coat and the manual down, and when he came back, he saw Li Shurui sitting on the bed with her legs curled up, looking at him strangely, as if she wanted to laugh but didn't dare to.

"What are you laughing at?"

Upon hearing this, Li Shurui finally couldn't hold back any longer. She covered her mouth, but couldn't hide her crescent-shaped eyes.

"If you laugh again, I'll spank you."

Jiang Chen pretended to be fierce.

Li Shurui lowered her hand, her smile uncontrollable, her face more beautiful than a flower.

"Is that... the Sunflower Manual?"

Jiang Chen was stunned.

No.

How does she know?

You see, she studied dance. I didn't mean anything by it, but it's a fact that dancers generally have lower levels of general education. And those few words, even she couldn't recognize them.

The Martial Saint was also discovered by searching through historical documents.

"how do you know?"

"It's drawn on there...."

Unable to contain herself, Li Shurui burst into laughter again, and while laughing, she politely said, "I'm sorry."

Did you draw it?

Seeing Jiang Chen's confusion, Li Shurui tentatively asked, "Didn't you open it to look? It starts with... that pose."

She made a cutting motion with her palm.

"It should only be the Sunflower Manual that requires this prerequisite."

Isn't that a sign of high comprehension?

Jiang Chen's face was expressionless.

If that kid, Martial Saint, was still nagging, we could still hold onto a sliver of hope, but now Li Shurui has completely extinguished that hope.

Needless to say.

He was tricked by the two female disciples.

"You're not really thinking of doing that, are you?"

Li Shurui's smile vanished abruptly, replaced by worry. Recalling the conversation about children, she became even more uneasy.

"Don't be foolish. We live in a technological age. No matter how high your martial arts skills are, they won't be of much use..."

This makes sense.

Even if the Sunflower Manual is incredibly powerful, can it withstand bullets?

Jiang Chen was acting very strangely tonight. He didn't say a word. He was about to turn into a beast just now, but now he turned around and left.

Li Shurui's worry was not feigned. Suddenly seeing a Sunflower Manual fall from her man's arms and confidently telling her that it was an unparalleled martial art, who wouldn't be afraid?
Do you still want children?

She propped herself up, knelt on the bed, and shouted, "All pretense of modesty has to take a backseat now! Even my man is becoming my sister!"
"When I've mastered my divine skills, I'll make you kneel before me and sing 'Conquer'."

It can be confirmed and affirmed.

This person's anger wasn't directed at Li Shurui, but Li Shurui didn't know that. After a moment of surprise, she laughed and scolded:
"What good was singing 'Conquer' back then? You come back here."

Jiang Chen ignored him, his steps resolute, without turning his head.

"bath!"

"Pfft."

Watching him slam the bathroom door, Li Shurui clutched her stomach and laughed so hard she collapsed onto the bed. (End of Chapter)
