The Rise of Dragon Son-in-Law

Because Zhuge Xuan told Long Chen, the one who had tried to catch Xia Ling, the fish that slipped the net, was sitting in the third place of the second row in the crowd.

"You, come out for a moment."

Long Chen put down Xia Ling and directly pointed to the person Zhuge Xuan had mentioned.

Liu Haoxing’s body trembled, and then he cautiously walked out of the crowd.

"Mr. Long, what... what’s wrong?"

Liu Haoxing tried hard to calm himself down.

"What’s your name?" Long Chen asked.

"Liu Haoxing, Mr. Long. I was invited by the Yang Family to confront the Nangong Family," Liu Haoxing said.

"You thought you could capture Xia Ling without anyone recognizing what you look like? I really admire your courage for still daring to mingle in the crowd."

Long Chen sneered.

Once these words were out, the entire place was shocked, and all eyes turned to Liu Haoxing.

Seeing the situation turning sour, Liu Haoxing turned and ran.

Bang.

Yang Su made his move, striking Liu Haoxing in the back with his palm.

Liu Haoxing let out a muffled grunt and fell face first, looking very disheveled.

"Kill him."

Long Chen walked away with Xia Ling, leading her farther.

Zhuge Xuan followed closely.

Behind them, Yang Su, without any hesitation, had someone kill Liu Haoxing.

Afterwards, Yang Su watched Long Chen’s retreating figure, feeling somewhat guilty.

She thought it was because there were traitors within her team that the Nangong Family had acted prematurely in kidnapping Xia Ling.

If she hadn’t been so hasty, maybe Xia Ling wouldn’t have been kidnapped.

...

Long Chen didn’t know Yang Su had so many thoughts; he directly took Xia Ling back home.

Xia Ling’s emotions had calmed down, and she softly said to Long Chen, "You should go home, I’m fine now. Let Xuan’er stay here with me."

"That won’t do," Long Chen said, "I’ll stay with you tonight, Xuan’er, you go home. After going back, don’t tell them about what happened tonight."

"Understood."

Zhuge Xuan obediently nodded, "Brother Long Chen, then I’ll come early tomorrow morning to find Sister Xia. Don’t worry, I will definitely protect Sister Xia closely from now on."

"I believe you, go home now."

Long Chen waved his hand.

"Okay."

Zhuge Xuan quickly left.

Long Chen held Xia Ling and came into her bedroom.

"Sigh, the house wasn’t bought long ago, and the door was smashed by those bastards. I’ll find someone to fix it tomorrow."

Xia Ling gave a bitter smile.

"I can fix it, it will be done soon."

Long Chen got up to fix the door. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

After lying down for about ten minutes, Xia Ling, curious, got up to see how Long Chen was fixing the door.

But after watching for a while, she didn’t see him move, "Are you still thinking about how to do it? Then I’ll take a bath, and help you fix it together later."

"Go ahead."

"Okay."

Xia Ling went into the bathroom.

When she came out half an hour later, she found that the door was already fixed.

"That was quick?"

Xia Ling was astonished.

"Of course, it had to be swift," Long Chen said.

"Not right, this door is brand new, you changed it to a new door?" Xia Ling was flabbergasted, "And at this late hour, there’s still someone delivering a door for installation?"

"Don’t ask, its all about financial capability," Long Chen smiled.

"Alright, you’re the best."

Xia Ling walked over and sat down on the sofa.

Long Chen closed the door and sat next to Xia Ling.

Their eyes met, and both paused for a second.

In the quiet of the night, alone together as a man and a woman.

Such a gaze made it easy for extraordinary stories to unfold.

Xia Ling also felt the awkwardness in the air, but she didn’t dislike it; in fact, she was rather happy.

Because this was the first time, the two of them were alone together at home.

"You..."

"You..."

Both spoke at the same time, in unison.

"Heh, you go first." Long Chen chuckled.

"Hey, are you chickening out?"

Xia Ling teased.

"What do you mean, ’chickening out’?"

"If you weren’t, then what are you waiting for? Waiting for me to make the first move?"

Xia Ling bit her lower lip seductively.

Seeing her so captivating, Long Chen hesitated not a moment to kiss her.

After a while, Long Chen said, "Go wait for me in your bedroom, I’m going to take a shower."

"Mmm, be quick."

Xia Ling’s delicate hand gently brushed Long Chen’s cheek.

Long Chen got up and went into the bathroom.

More than ten minutes later, when Long Chen returned to Xia Ling’s bedroom, he found that Xia Ling was already asleep in bed.

Long Chen sighed and then carefully lay down beside Xia Ling, looking at her as she slept, he didn’t have the heart to wake her.

Xia Ling had been quite frightened today, and she must have been both mentally and physically exhausted, needing a good sleep.

The next day, when Xia Ling woke up and saw that Long Chen was already up making breakfast, she was distressed.

"Ah!"

Xia Ling screamed, holding her head.

"What’s wrong?"

Long Chen poked his head out from the kitchen.

"Why am I still perfectly intact? You beast, you bastard."

Xia Ling shouted loudly.

Hearing this, Long Chen couldn’t help but laugh and said, "There will be plenty of opportunities in the future, don’t panic, hurry up and get up to brush your teeth."

"No, you come here, I must have you today."

Xia Ling kicked around frantically.

"Be good, get up for breakfast, then I’ll teach you how to cultivate. The matter of having children can wait, right?"

"Hmph, tonight, just tonight, don’t think you can fool me with ’there will be plenty of time.’"

Xia Ling pouted coquettishly.

"Wow, Xia Ling sister, I didn’t expect you to be so thirsty."

Zhuge Xuan suddenly walked out from behind the door.

Xia Ling jumped in fright, screamed, then darted under the covers, "Xuan’er, when did you get here so early?"

"I said last night that I’d be over early this morning."

Zhuge Xuan said with a smile.

"I’m so embarrassed."

Xia Ling wished she could find a hole to crawl into.

"Haha, it’s okay, come on out."

Long Chen walked over to the bed and pulled back the covers.

"You big bad guy, why didn’t you tell me Xuan’er was here? Did you want to see me embarrassed? I’ll bite you to death."

Xia Ling lunged into Long Chen’s arms, playfully baring her teeth.

She certainly didn’t seem like the powerful woman who commanded the Dragon Doctor in the business world.

Of course, Xia Ling only showed her true self in front of Long Chen.

After making a fuss for a while, Xia Ling finally got up and had breakfast with Long Chen and Zhuge Xuan.

Later, the three of them went to the company together.

Just as Long Chen and Xia Ling were about to enter, they were stopped by a man in a black suit standing at the door.

"Are you Mr. Long Chen?"

The man smiled politely and bowed.

"And you are?"

Long Chen stared at the man, frowning slightly.

The man politely smiled and said, "My name is Zhou Dong, from the court. Ancestor Xia sent me here to discuss some matters with Mr. Long. Is it possible for Mr. Long to find a place where we can talk in detail?"

Long Chen was a little surprised and then said, "Certainly, the place, would Mr. Zhou like to choose, or should I?"

"The host chooses, of course."

Zhou Dong smiled.

"Alright."

Long Chen turned to look at Xia Ling.

Xia Ling promptly smiled and said, "Then you go have a good chat with Mr. Zhou, I’ll get busy. Mr. Zhou, excuse me."

Xia Ling bowed!

"Director Xia, please go ahead, don’t mind me." Zhou Dong smiled.

"Alright, see you."

Xia Ling waved and entered the company with Zhuge Xuan.

Long Chen then took Zhou Dong to a nearby café and sat down at a window table.

Although he didn’t know what Zhou Dong’s visit was about, since he was personally sent by Ancestor Xia, it had to be important.
