Becoming Audacious After Marriage: Madam, Please Keep A Low Profile Chapter 36
Advertisement
Li Nana was not convinced at all. Her brother clearly only loved Qiao Wenxi.
Four years ago, for the sake of Qiao Wenqian, Li Beichen had gone against Li Guowei time and time again. He had rejected the marriage Old Master Li arranged for him without any considerations. As a result, he had offended many prominent figures in the business world.
How could such a cold, ruthless, noble, and proud man fall head over heels for this woman?
If not for the fact that she was afraid of Li Beichen, how could the arrogant and despotic Li Nana just let it go like that?
It was even more impossible for her to recoil in fear and address her as Second Sister-in-law.
Enduring her belly full of anger, she deliberately provoked, "I heard that Second Sister-in-law created a big fuss in Yuzun today?"
As she spoke, she planned on how she could spite her. "I heard that you slapped Wenqian's mother. Second Sister-in-law, is it true that happened?"
Li Nana deliberately emphasized this sentence. She did not believe that Li Beichen would not get angry at Shi Yuxuan after hearing this.
Bingo.
As expected, Li Beichen frowned and his eyes darkened. He held her waist tightly. Although his action seemed gentle, it was so painful that it was as if her bones had been crushed.
However, Shi Yuxuan admitted to Li Nana's question without hiding anything. "Yes, I did slap her, but it was not once. I gave her two slaps."
Although the words were directed at Li Nana, but Shi Yuxuan had lowered her eyes slightly, her gaze fixed on Li Beichen.
Li Nana, who was listening at the side, was stunned. "Two slaps?".
"That's right. After all, my hands are not obedient. If it happens once, there'll be a second."

"You!" Li Nana was so angry that she could not say a word. However, Shi Yuxuan did not seem to care.
"But as for this matter, it was your Sister Wenqian's mother who made the first move by hitting my head."
Shi Yuxuan admitted that she had indeed hit her, but she had to make it clear who had made the first move, lest she became the bad guy.
"Aunt Qin hit you? I don't believe it."
"You don't believe me? You can touch my head, it's still swollen. I don't know if she caused me to get a concussion and it influenced me to slap her."
"Does it hurt?" The man who had been silent all this while suddenly asked.
Slightly startled, she said, "It hurts, but I can tolerate it."
Yuxuan gently caressed Li Beichen's chest. Her acting was too explicit, especially her eyes. Under the light, it was as if they were covered by a thin veil, revealing an inhuman charm and sexiness.
Damn it!
Li Beichen lowered his eyes and frowned at her.
In the next moment, he reached out and rubbed it for her. Her head was indeed swollen, and there was more than one swollen lump on her head.
How badly had she been hit?
Li Beichen's well-defined fingers visibly trembled. "Why didn't you tell me?" How could this woman tolerate this?
"I was afraid you wouldn't believe me." That was the mother of the woman he had been hiding in his heart. Shi Yuxuan knew very well which side was more important to him.
"Besides, even if you believed me, you wouldn't stand up for me. Isn't that right, President Li?" Her long nails were like one of a wild cat. She deliberately scratched his chest heartlessly.

"Stop fooling around." Li Beichen wrapped her restless hand in his palm and didn't continue talking.
Shi Yuxuan looked at him and twitched her lips.
It was true, he wouldn't stand up for her. She was just thinking too much.
Looking back at Li Nana, Yu Xuan said, "I brought you a gift. I wonder if you'll like it."
With that, Yuxuan passed a bag over.
"What are you giving me?" Li Nana's gaze was suspicious, but she still reached out to take it.
"Open it and you'll find out."

RE: DEVTHOR
From a certain author's perspective, the world he lived in had always been a boring uninteresting place. If asked if he could name one good thing about it, he probably couldn't. Up until forty, he lived in complete isolation and solitude, but he never once regretted or felt dissatisfied about the kind of life he lived. But despite being content with such a lifestyle, it seems some god... or perhaps some busybody devil galavanting about playing pretend god was immensely dissatisfied with the way he lived his life and wanted to play a sick joke on him by sending him back to his first day in high school after he died a mysterious death. Approached by a suspicious red-haired girl shortly after awakening and recognizing where he was, he's abruptly given a second chance at a youth filled with romance. But what does this forty years old man turned sixteen do when confronted with youth? He flips youth off and tells it to take a hike, he's having none of it. If there was some sort of godly existence watching over him from somewhere unknown, their only natural reaction would be to facepalm and question what was wrong with this incompetent romanceless idiot who knew nothing of love. Low fantasy only really starts to appear around volume 3. Presently there are 7 volumes for this series totaling about 850k words.
