56: Chapter 56 The Plan Fails

Seeing that Li Yiran had agreed, Xiao Yuchen didn't even bother to clear the dishes; he took Li Yiran's hand and led her into his room.

"Yiran, I think the method your parents suggested earlier is still viable. Let's both turn off our phones. It would be really disappointing if we were interrupted."

Xiao Yuchen said, then turned off his phone. Li Yiran hesitated for a moment, but eventually turned hers off as well.

Although she had made up her mind, Li Yiran was still a bit nervous. Thinking about what was about to happen, she felt like she was dreaming.

"Yiran, are you ready?" Yuchen's heart was also racing.

"Mm, I'm… ready."

...

More than ten minutes later, the villa door opened, and Xiao Yuxin walked in from outside.

There had been a sudden power outage at school today; it was said that the whole city was out of power. There was nothing they could do, so the school had to dismiss early. Moreover, knowing that Ma Xiaolu had also moved to Lishui Garden, Xiao Yuxin didn't even contact her bodyguards and just came home with Ma Xiaolu.

"Huh? How is there still food? Could it be that brother is back?"

Xiao Yuxin picked up a bite of food; it was surprisingly still warm, so she sat there and ate it happily.

But after only two bites, she heard discordant sounds coming from her brother's room, and her face instantly turned bright red.

"Brother? What is he doing? Could he be doing something to wrong sister-in-law Yiran?"

In Xiao Yuxin's eyes, Li Yiran was already her sister-in-law. She would not allow anyone to bully her sister-in-law, not even her own brother.

Holding this thought, Xiao Yuxin walked to her brother's room door angrily and knocked hard on the door.

"Brother, what are you doing? Are you hiding a woman in there? How could you do something to wrong sister-in-law Yiran?"

In fact, when Li Feng said this morning that Li Yiran should move to Lishui Garden, Xiao Yuxin was in the car, and she had been happy about it for a long time.

Although she knew this, Xiao Yuxin didn't expect the person in the room to be Li Yiran, because she knew their relationship hadn't reached that stage yet, and sister-in-law Yiran wouldn't let her brother succeed so easily. Therefore, she believed her brother must be cheating.

Seeing that there was no response from inside the room, Xiao Yuxin was even more certain and knocked on the door hard again.

"Xiao Yuxin, don't talk nonsense. Brother hasn't done anything to wrong Yiran."

Hearing his sister knocking, Yuchen was incredibly frustrated. He had just ruined Li Feng's good thing earlier, and now his own good thing had been ruined by his sister in the blink of an eye. Was this retribution? Why were so many awkward things happening today?

"I don't believe you. I clearly heard a woman's voice in your room just now. Open the door quickly; if you don't open it, I'm going in myself."

Yuchen didn't answer and hurriedly grabbed the quilt to cover himself and Li Yiran.

After waiting for a while, seeing that her brother was no longer speaking, Xiao Yuxin pushed the door open and went in.

Seeing the scene inside, Xiao Yuxin was very Life Qi, "You still say there are no women in your room? Aren't these women's clothes? Where did you hide that vixen?"

He had been too excited just now, so Yuchen had forgotten to lock the door. This was just too damn awkward.

Seeing that the matter couldn't be explained clearly, a small head poked out from under the quilt; it was Li Yiran.

Seeing that the woman on the bed was actually Li Yiran, Xiao Yuxin froze. She had actually ruined her brother's good thing; she really had the urge to slap herself a few times.

"Uh… sister-in-law, so it was you. It's a misunderstanding, really a misunderstanding. You two continue, I'll go out first, I'll go outside for some fresh air."

Ignoring her brother's angry glare, Xiao Yuxin hurriedly closed the door and ran out with a blushing face. She didn't know why she had been so impulsive to barge into her brother's room.

Xiao Yuxin had left, but Yuchen and Li Yiran were awkward to death. How could they still be in the mood to continue? Yuchen felt cold in his heart; the opportunity he had worked so hard to secure had just been ruined like that.

The key was that Li Yiran must have developed a psychological shadow this time. Next time he wanted to secure an opportunity, it would definitely take a lot of convincing.

"Uh, Yiran, don't blame Xiao Yuxin. This girl is really good to you as a sister-in-law. For your sake, she actually treated me like this; I'm even a bit envious."

Yuchen smiled awkwardly, yet upon hearing Yuchen's words, Li Yiran's face turned even redder.

"Hateful, this is all your fault." Li Yiran said with feigned anger.

"How would I know Xiao Yuxin would come back suddenly? This situation has never happened before."

"Uh… is it done?" Li Yiran asked shyly.

"What?" Yuchen was a bit confused.

"It's that break-the-technique method of yours. Can we continue to Cultivate?"

"Oh, that… of course not, it hasn't reached the final step yet, has it?"

Because it was something Yuchen had made up, having been suddenly asked, Yuchen almost let it slip.

"Then… doesn't that mean we have to do it again?" Li Yiran asked back.

"If you don't want to, forget it. I will never force you to do anything. It's just Medicine God Valley, right? Even if I have to risk my life, I won't let them hurt you." Yuchen said righteously.

"No… no, I can't let you be in any danger. How about we… we continue?"

Seeing Li Yiran take the initiative, Yuchen was very surprised, but he was no longer in the mood. "Let's do it another day. Xiao Yuxin is back, so it's not convenient to continue."

Although Yuchen didn't want to give up this opportunity, there was no way around it; he could only leave it at that for now. Fortunately, the string in Li Yiran's heart had already loosened, so it would be easier to find an opportunity in the future.

"Oh, alright."

The two put on their clothes and walked out of the room, and Xiao Yuxin had indeed gone out.

Yuchen walked out of the villa and found Xiao Yuxin running outside the villa, seemingly using this method to ward off the cold.

Seeing this scene, Yuchen felt a bit of heartache, and the frustration in his heart reduced by a lot.

"Xiao Yuxin, come back. It's so cold outside!"

Hearing her brother call her, Xiao Yuxin returned to the villa, but to avoid awkwardness between her brother and sister-in-law Yiran, she didn't mention what had just happened at all.

"Why did you come back so early today? Is something the matter?" Yuchen asked curiously.

"Oh, there was a power outage at school. It's said that many places across Jiangcheng are out of power, so school let out early."

Hearing this, Yuchen felt so frustrated he wanted to vomit blood. He had lived in Jiangcheng for decades and hadn't encountered many large-scale power outages. Today, just as he was about to complete his goal, the power went out. He was just too unlucky.

"Oh, so that's how it is. By the way, school eats early. Brother will heat up the food, you eat some more." Yuchen said.

"Okay, thanks brother." Xiao Yuxin nodded happily.

"Mm, I want to eat too."

Li Yiran hadn't finished eating earlier when she was taken to the room by Yuchen, so she was hungry again now.

"Alright, you two wait a moment."

Yuchen heated up the food, and the two girls ate happily again. In the end, all the food was wiped clean.

Just as Yuchen was clearing the dishes, the doorbell rang. Xiao Yuxin went to open the door, and when she saw Ma Xiaolu's family, she very happily invited the three of them into the house.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Yuchen also hurriedly went out to check, and when he saw that the visitors were indeed Ma Xiaolu's family, he was also a bit surprised.
