48: Chapter 48 Basic Operations Between Couples

"Alright, you can turn around now." Li Yiran's face was flushed, her voice very soft.

Having peeked at his girlfriend, Xiao Yuchen felt a sense of guilt, like a thief. He and Li Yiran had confirmed their relationship over ten days ago, yet they had rarely held hands; it was time for a Breakthrough.

"I'm done changing, let's go."

Xiao Yuchen walked straight up to Li Yiran, took her hand, and started walking out.

"You... what are you doing?" Li Yiran was a bit shy and tried to pull her hand away, but failed.

"What do you mean, what am I doing? We're a couple, so naturally, we should act like one. This is just a basic operation, okay?" Xiao Yuchen said as if it were only natural.

This time, Li Yiran did not resist. It seemed that what Xiao Yuchen said was correct. In the past, she had been too conservative, which almost gave Zhou Yuyan an opportunity. Since her father had already agreed, what was she afraid of?

"Oh, alright then, lucky you."

Just like that, the two left the hospital hand in hand, and this scene was witnessed by Li Feng.

"Sigh, as a father, I really don't understand my own daughter. Two people who are clearly such a good match were almost broken up by me."

After leaving the hospital, Xiao Yuchen took Li Yiran directly to Shengshi Beauty, where the people from the Zhou Family sent to deliver the Medicinal Pill were waiting in the reception room.

Upon seeing Li Yiran and Xiao Yuchen arrive together, the two people from the Zhou Family greeted Xiao Yuchen before handing the beauty pill to Li Yiran.

"Young Miss Li, Mr. Xiao refined a total of 378 beauty pills this time. One was used for testing at the auction, 77 were auctioned off, and the remaining 300 are all here. Please sign for them!"

"Uh, okay."

Out of trust for the Zhou Family, Li Yiran did not check. Originally, Xiao Yuchen had wanted to leave one hundred for the Zhou Family, but since they had tested several types of Medicinal Pill at the auction and also obtained three youth-preserving pills, they had already received enough benefits and declined.

After signing, the people from the Zhou Family left. After arriving at the CEO's office, Xiao Yuchen took a bank card out of his pocket and handed it to Li Yiran.

"What is the meaning of this?" Li Yiran was confused.

"This is the proceeds from the auction, totaling 9.7 billion. You keep it; consider it as working capital for Shengshi Beauty." Xiao Yuchen said it very casually, as if 9.7 billion was merely 97 yuan in his eyes.

"How much? 9.7 billion?" Li Yiran was stunned. "Are Medicinal Pill really that valuable? The total assets of Shengshi Beauty don't even reach 9.7 billion."

"Hehe, actually, I didn't auction off many Medicinal Pill. A single youth-preserving pill sold for 2.5 billion." Xiao Yuchen said casually.

"That much? Which Family ended up winning the youth-preserving pill?" Li Yiran asked curiously.

"The Zheng Family. The Zheng Family mainly operates in the financial industry and is the strongest economically among the Four Great Families. I'm afraid no other Family besides the Zheng Family could produce 2.5 billion in working capital all at once.

However, my relationship with the Zheng Family is not bad. Making so much money off them all at once makes me feel a bit embarrassed. I'll just give them some other Medicinal Pill another day."

Although the Zheng Family was wealthy, they didn't have that much working capital. After auctioning the youth-preserving pill, the Zheng Family did not continue to bid on other Medicinal Pill.

"I heard you saved Zheng Yujiao? Your luck with women is really quite good, isn't it?"

Li Yiran was a bit jealous. Zhou Yuyan was a martial arts Genius, while Zheng Yujiao was a financial Genius. It was said that the reason the Zheng Family was able to become one of the Four Great Families was directly related to Zheng Yujiao.

Furthermore, these two women were from the Four Great Families, and neither their financial strength nor their beauty was inferior to hers. She was glad she had met Xiao Yuchen first; otherwise, she wouldn't have the qualifications to compete with the two women at all.

"What are you talking about? Strictly speaking, this was indirectly caused by your father." Xiao Yuchen used Li Feng as a shield.

"My father? What does this have to do with him?" Li Yiran was puzzled.

"Because I was unwilling to break up with you, your father took bodyguards to catch me, wanting to hand me over to the Wang Family to deal with. As a result, I beat up your father's two bodyguards.

After your father realized my strength, he went to notify the Wang Family. The Wang Family realized the crisis and wanted to unite with the Zheng Family to deal with me. I had no choice but to go to the Zheng Family to sabotage their plan."

Hearing Xiao Yuchen's explanation, Li Yiran fell silent. "I'm sorry, Yuchen. My father treated you unfairly. I apologize to you on his behalf. He really knows he was wrong; he had already slapped himself many times before, his face was swollen."

How could Xiao Yuchen actually take offense? However, hearing Li Yiran's words, Xiao Yuchen almost laughed out loud. No wonder when he saw Li Feng that day, he felt Li Feng's face seemed a size larger.

"Don't worry, for your sake, I cannot truly hold a grudge against your father. But although I'm not upset, I still feel a bit uncomfortable in my heart. Since you want to apologize for your father, then compensate me." Xiao Yuchen looked at Li Yiran unscrupulously, occasionally revealing a mischievous smile.

"What are you going to do?" Li Yiran hugged her chest, a bit scared.

"What am I going to do? Naturally, do some things that couples between men and women should do."

Xiao Yuchen kept approaching Li Yiran, while Li Yiran kept backing away until she bumped into the wall and stopped. Xiao Yuchen took the opportunity to step forward and cornered Li Yiran.

"Last time you forced a kiss on me, this time I'm going to kiss back."

As he spoke, without waiting for Li Yiran to resist, Xiao Yuchen kissed her. Just as Xiao Yuchen wanted to take it a step further, the office door was knocked.

"Who is this? Really knows how to pick a time! I curse them to have a child without an anus." Xiao Yuchen didn't use his Divine Sense to check, just cursed under his breath, and went to open the door.

After opening the door, he discovered that the person who came was none other than Zhou Yuyan, whom Xiao Yuchen had called over.

"Uh, Yuyan, you're here."

Xiao Yuchen felt a bit awkward, praying in his heart that Zhou Yuyan hadn't heard what he had just said.

"Mm, what did you call me here for?" Zhou Yuyan asked.

"It's just... earlier at the auction, Yiran misunderstood our relationship. Could you help me explain it to her?" Xiao Yuchen said.

"Just this? I, Zhou Yuyan, owe you a favor, and you're just having me do such a trivial thing?" Zhou Yuyan was a bit surprised.

"What, is that not okay?" Xiao Yuchen retorted.

"It's not that it's not okay, it's just that I am the eldest Young Miss of the Zhou Family. You're just using up my favor so easily? Since when did my favor become so cheap?" Zhou Yuyan said indignantly.

"Hehe, for different people, the things they consider precious are also different. Take the youth-preserving pill, for example; for you, it's a treasure you can't refuse, but for me, it's not that important.

Conversely, you think this task I asked you to do is unimportant, but to me, nothing is more important than this. I don't want Yiran to misunderstand."

Xiao Yuchen's words weren't entirely meant for Zhou Yuyan; he was mainly saying them for Li Yiran to hear.

"To meet a good man like you, Li Yiran is truly very lucky." Zhou Yuyan said sincerely.

As she spoke, Zhou Yuyan walked directly into the room, came to Li Yiran's side, and said with a smile: "Li Yiran, you are very lucky to have met Xiao Yuchen before me. Otherwise, I would have had the confidence to compete with you. Unfortunately, a step behind is a step behind forever. I concede. I hope you and Xiao Yuchen can grow old together."

Hearing Zhou Yuyan's words, Xiao Yuchen was also a bit surprised. He hadn't expected Zhou Yuyan to like him too. However, just as Zhou Yuyan said, he already had Li Yiran, and that was enough.
