The Rise of Dragon Son-in-Law

Long Chen couldn’t help but laugh and cry, so he had no choice but to recommend Long Xue’er to Xia Ling.

After adding her as a friend, Xia Ling immediately made a video call to Long Xue’er.

When the call connected, Xia Ling saw a face of exquisite beauty appear on the screen.

She said with a smile, "As expected, Long Chen’s sister is really a national beauty."

However, Long Xue’er on the other end was stunned, "You... You are..."

"Your sister-in-law," Xia Ling said.

"That’s not what I mean, sister-in-law. What I mean is, you... You’re actually Dragon Doctor’s Xia Ling, oh heaven, how did my brother even manage to charm a super goddess like you?"

Long Xue’er’s shocked little mouth hung open, wide enough to fit an egg.

Xia Ling laughed heartily and said, "I didn’t expect you to know me, that’s rare."

"Sister-in-law, what do you see in my brother?"

Long Xue’er asked subconsciously.

Upon hearing this, Long Chen felt a headache coming on, "Long Xue’er, what are you saying, you little brat."

However, Xia Ling chuckled and said, "I couldn’t help it, I was completely won over by your brother’s sweet talk and deception. Xue’er, where are you now?"

"I’m starting a business in Shenzhen."

"What are you doing?"

"Doing..."

The two of them struck up a conversation, chatting about everything under the sun as if they had endless topics to talk about.

They only paused when the barbecue was served.

"Xue’er is really cute. She said she’ll come to see me in a few days."

Xia Ling grabbed a skewer of crawfish, still smiling.

"If she’s coming back, then she’s coming back."

Long Chen said nonchalantly.

"Hey, what kind of attitude is that for an older brother? She’s your only sister; be nicer to her," Xia Ling scolded Long Chen with a glance.

"Got it."

Long Chen smiled gently, his eyes softening.

He didn’t often contact Long Xue’er, but that didn’t mean he didn’t love her.

On the contrary, Long Chen was very fond of his sister.

"Excuse me, may I sit here?"

Just then, a tall and beautiful woman in a white dress approached, bringing a fragrant breeze with her.

Long Chen glanced at her; she had the face of a classic beauty and an extraordinary temperament.

"Who are you?"

Xia Ling asked.

"My name is Yang Su."

She said with a light laugh.

"Yang Su?" Xia Ling stared at Yang Su, "You’re from the Martial Arts family, the Yang Family, aren’t you?"

"It’s no surprise Xia Ling guessed right."

Yang Su gave a thumbs up but had already taken a seat very naturally.

"Miss Yang, I seem to recall not agreeing to you sitting here yet."

Xia Ling said with a smile.

"It’s okay," Yang Su said. "I feel that a beautiful and capable woman like Xia Ling wouldn’t mind these trivial social etiquettes."

"Not necessarily," Xia Ling said. "If you’re here to talk business, then I really wouldn’t welcome it."

Yang Su was taken aback for a moment, then quickly laughed, "Of course not, I was just hoping to make friends with both of you."

During the conversation, Yang Su glanced at Long Chen, intentionally or unintentionally.

Long Chen didn’t speak and continued to eat.

"If it’s not about business, making friends, I’m very welcoming of that,"

Xia Ling said.

"Thank you."

Yang Su gave a little bow.

Then, Yang Su looked at Long Chen and smiled, "This must be Long Chen, Brother Long, right?"

"Mmm, nice to meet you."

Long Chen also performed a palm and fist salute.

However, with barbeque between his fingers, the gesture looked somewhat discordant.

Yang Su couldn’t help but giggle and said, "Big Brother Long, the ancient salute of folding hands doesn’t seem quite right for you. You should just be yourself."

"It doesn’t matter," Long Chen said. "Just do as you please."

"Big Brother Long does seem to be a very straightforward person. I’ll drink to that," she cheered.

While she spoke, she had already opened a bottle of liquor.

Despite saying she’d drink a toast, she actually chugged the entire bottle.

Long Chen was stunned for a moment then laughed, "A heroine among women! If you can drink like this, wouldn’t it be remiss of me not to reciprocate with a bottle?"

Long Chen opened a bottle himself and downed it in one gulp.

Seeing this, Yang Su smiled and said, "Big Brother Long, I’m a person of the Martial Arts world, I can drink a dozen bottles no problem, but you’re different. You should drink less."

"No worry, the most important thing is to drink merrily."

Long Chen laughed.

At this point, he didn’t yet know the purpose of Yang Su’s visit.

But Long Chen couldn’t be bothered to use the Heart Observation Technique to guess.

At least, until Yang Su showed any clear hostility, Long Chen wouldn’t use the Heart Observation Technique.

Because using the Heart Observation Technique to peek into someone’s privacy was always somewhat unethical.

Yang Su opened another bottle, chuckled lightly, and said, "Big Brother Long really knows how to enjoy himself, so let’s drink happily."

"Hold on, are you two planning to exclude me? Should I just leave?"

Xia Ling pouted, staring at Long Chen.

"Sister Xia Ling, although Brother Long is indeed outstanding, I already know he has a girlfriend and I wouldn’t dream of stealing him away," said Yang Su with a coy laugh.

Her laugh seemed to tremble like flowering branches, bewitching the heart.

Xia Ling said, "I was just joking. After all, a man, especially one as exceptional as my husband, having a few wives and concubines is quite normal if you are accepting of it."

"Er, is that so? Well then, let’s agree on that, girlfriend."

Yang Su climbed up the pole that was offered.

This almost made Xia Ling choke on her beer.

After three rounds of drinks and most of the barbeque eaten by Long Chen, Yang Su suggested taking a walk with Long Chen and Xia Ling.

Both Long Chen and Xia Ling understood that the main course might just be about to be served.

Long Chen wanted to know what Yang Su was up to, so he stood up, took Xia Ling’s hand, and said with a smile, "A walk sounds good. Lingling darling, shall we accompany Yang Su for a walk?"

"Sure."

Xia Ling nodded with a smile.

However, coincidentally, Xia Ling’s phone suddenly rang.

Xia Ling didn’t want to answer, but after glancing at the caller’s name, she took the call.

After hearing only a couple of sentences, the color drained slightly from Xia Ling’s face.

After hanging up, Xia Ling said to Long Chen, "Something came up, I have to go deal with it. You accompany Yang Su for a walk. Remember to call me afterward to report, okay?"

"Do you need me to go back and handle it with you?" asked Long Chen.

"No need, I can handle it. Bye now."

Xia Ling waved her hand and left in a luxurious car, speeding away.

Yang Su watched Xia Ling’s car disappear into the distance, a hint of joy twinkling in her eyes.

"Brother Long, please, let Susu take you to see a real spectacle," Yang Su said with a light laugh.

"I’m not usually one for spectacles unless they’re really worth watching. Tell me about it first, what is it about?" Long Chen asked with a smile.

"It’s about the hidden dangers in this bustling metropolis, about the violent conflicts in places neon lights can’t reach. Are you interested, Brother Long?"

Yang Su asked.

"You’re taking me, an ordinary person, to see this? Isn’t that inappropriate?"

"The strength of Dragon Doctor has already determined you can’t be an ordinary person. And now, the people who are interested in Dragon Doctor just happen to be from the Martial Arts world. So, I think Brother Long should indeed witness the darkness beneath the glamour, no, I should say, the splendor beneath the glamour."

Yang Su smiled softly, and behind that seemingly innocent smile, there seemed to be a touch of seduction and allure rippling through.
