Mad Dragon gets out of prison and marries a beautiful CEO.

Chapter 116

Su Wan paused for two seconds, put her phone in her pocket, took a deep breath, and then exhaled.

Her breathing returned to normal within seconds; her voice still trembled slightly, but it was steady.

"Then my place is no longer safe. Since they were able to do this here, they must know my address."

"You can't stay alone tonight." Chen Li looked at her. "Come stay at my place for a few days. The security at Bihu Longting is stricter than outside. You can move back after this matter is investigated."

Su Wan looked at him, the streetlight shining down on her head, casting a warm yellow halo on her face.

She didn't hesitate for long before nodding:

"Okay, then... thank you for your help..."

It was her first time staying at a stranger's house, so she was inevitably a little shy and reserved. But considering that her life was more important, she had no choice but to go ahead with it.

Chen Li called Sister Hong and asked her to tell Xiao Wen about Su Wan's situation. He also sent a message to Ye Qinglian, asking her to keep a close eye on the movements of the Qinglong Hall.

Then he opened the passenger door for Su Wan to get in, got into the driver's seat himself, and started the engine.

As the car drove away from the riverbank, Su Wan leaned back in her seat without saying a word.

She turned her head to look at the street scene rushing past outside the window. Her own face was reflected in the car window, calm as if she had just experienced a chase, except that the color of her lips was a little lighter than usual.

Back at Bihu Longting, Chen Li drove the car into the courtyard, and the two got out.

"Wow, your villa is so beautiful..."

Su Wan's place was already luxurious enough in the eyes of ordinary people, but compared to this place it was practically a slum, which made people sigh in admiration.

"There are many rooms inside; you can come anytime if you like."

Chen Li smiled and said generously, then led Su Wan into the house.

The living room light was on; Xiaoyu was already asleep.

Chen Li invited her to sit down and asked:

"Tea or wine?"

Su Wan, who had been looking around, turned her gaze back and replied politely:

"It's so late. The more you drink tea, the more excited you get. Or you can go to a bar. Alcohol helps you fall asleep."

Chen Li walked to the wine cabinet, took out an expensive bottle of red wine that someone had given him, poured a glass, and handed it to Su Wan:

"Try it."

Su Wan had a keen eye for wine tasting. She swirled the wine glass, brought it to her nose, and gently inhaled the aroma, then nodded in agreement.

"This is the best wine I've had in Yuncheng, it must be expensive, right?"

Chen Li took a sip and said:

"A friend gave it to me. There are two bottles left. You can take them if you like. I'm not too interested in them."

Su Wan was a little embarrassed by Mr. Chen's generosity and magnanimity, and laughed:

"I've come here to stay and take things, it'll be a laughing stock if word gets out. I appreciate the sentiment, but I'll come here whenever I want a drink."

"it is good."

Chen Li clinked glasses with her and accepted her request.

The two chatted and finished their drinks. Su Wan, her face slightly flushed, said:

"I benefited greatly from chatting with Mr. Chen. I'm feeling sleepy now, and I have a business event to attend tomorrow. I need to go to sleep. Which room should I sleep in?"

Chen Li stood up and pointed to the second floor, saying:

"You'll be sleeping in a guest room tonight, the second one on the left on the second floor. The sheets are clean, and there are fresh towels in the bathroom. If you have any other needs, just press the green button by the door, and a staff member will arrange it for you."

After he finished speaking, he hurriedly reminded him:

"Don't press the red button, that's the alarm. Security personnel will arrive within three minutes if you press it. It's the middle of the night, don't provoke them."

"Thank you, Mr. Chen. I'll go upstairs now..."

Su Wan waved goodbye and headed towards the stairwell. Judging from her slightly unsteady steps, she was indeed not a good drinker and was the kind of person who was both bad at drinking and loved to have fun.

Chen Li went to the teahouse to reply to some messages, communicate with Song Qingtong, and investigate the origins of the assassin.

Su Wan, wearing high heels, went upstairs. There were many rooms. She counted them with her fingers, found the door Chen Li had pointed out to her, pushed it open, and went inside.

The luxurious king-size bed, exquisite decor, and bright floor-to-ceiling windows offering a serene and beautiful night view create an exceptionally comfortable atmosphere.

Lock the door to prevent anyone from accidentally entering and causing unnecessary misunderstandings.

She stripped naked and swayed as she entered the bathroom. Her graceful and sexy body was reflected on the glass wall like a perfect silhouette painting. She stood there admiring herself.

The toiletries were all complete, some still in their original packaging, indicating that the bedroom was usually unoccupied.

After taking a shower, Su Wan emerged from the steamy bathroom wrapped in a bath towel, her upper body covered in snow-white fabric, revealing a section of her beautiful, lotus-root-like legs.

She didn't have the habit of wearing slippers; her jade-like feet left clear footprints and water stains as she walked.

After drying her hair, she suddenly felt thirsty and went downstairs to the kitchen to get some water, but it was too late, and she was sleepy and drunk, so her vision became blurry.

However, her feet followed her consciousness and she went downstairs to get some water.

Chen Li replied to Ye Qinglian's messages in the tea room.

Then I received another call from Song Qingtong. She said that the murder case in the alley had been solved. According to her, one of the people involved was indeed from the Juxian Chamber of Commerce. As for whether he was Lin Xiao's man or Lu Changgeng's man, it still needed to be investigated.

After processing the messages, Chen Li continued his cultivation. He didn't sleep much that night and was tired, so he went upstairs to take a shower and go to bed.

Chen Ligang closed the door, and Su Wan, who had come out to get a drink of water, went downstairs, poured herself a glass of water, and then, still half asleep, carried the water upstairs.

When Su Wan carried the water glass upstairs, her eyes were almost closed.

The red wine had a stronger aftereffect than she had expected. Coupled with the recording, dinner party, attack, and changing accommodations that day, the tension she had been holding all day completely dissipated after taking a hot shower. She felt like her bones had been removed, and she was only able to move forward on instinct.

She counted the room numbers and walked towards the guest rooms, but after passing them, she turned back, pushed open a door, and went inside.

The room lights were off, the curtains were half-drawn, and moonlight leaked in through the gaps, leaving a long, silvery-white trail on the floor.

She vaguely felt that the room layout was different from when she came in, but sleepiness overwhelmed her judgment. She put the water glass on the bedside table, wrapped herself in a bath towel, and fell onto the bed. She pulled the blanket up to her shoulders and sank into the bed in a few seconds.

After taking a shower, Chen Li dried his hair and went into the bedroom.

He didn't turn on the main light, but only the warm yellow bedside lamp, draped a towel over the back of the chair, and lay down under the covers.

He sensed something was wrong the moment he lay down.

There was another person's body heat in the blanket, the fluffy hair tips clung to his shoulder, and his even, long breaths sprayed on the side of his neck, carrying the sweet scent of red wine.

He froze for a moment, then looked down to make his eyes open in the dim light.

Su Wan nestled beside him, half her face buried in the pillow, her eyelashes casting a small fan-shaped shadow beneath her eyelids, her lips slightly parted, sleeping soundly without any guard.

Chen Li did not move.

He remained lying down for a few seconds, then reached for the bedside lamp switch, intending to turn on the light before waking the person.

But as soon as he raised his arm, Su Wan seemed to be startled by the movement in the blanket. She turned over groggily, stretched her arm out from under the blanket and put it on his waist, rubbed her cheek against his shoulder, mumbled something indistinctly, and then fell silent again.

She was only wearing a bath towel.

Chen Li held his hand up in mid-air, maintaining that position for three seconds.

He could feel the warmth of her palm seeping through the thin cotton fabric of her pajamas, her fingertips curled in the folds of the fabric at his waist, her breathing as gentle as a sleeping kitten.

He took a deep breath, withdrew his hand, turned to the side, and gently patted her shoulder.

"Su Wan".
