The tension in the villa was palpable as Li Chen returned from Chen Yunlong's estate. His brow furrowed upon finding Sun Lixia, and Li Xinjie, seated in the living room with Sun Gang. After a terse greeting, Li Chen's first concern was the whereabouts of his wife.
"Where is my wife?" Li Chen asked, his tone laced with concern.
Sun Lixia offered a reassuring smile. "Oh, Zhang Mei is in Madam Tang's room, apparently she is teaching her how to sew, for future babies."
Li Chen chuckled, his shoulders relaxing slightly. "She is not even pregnant yet."
Li Xinjie smirked, his eyes twinkling with mischief. "She wants to get pregnant, better up your game, bro."
Ignoring his brother's jibe, Li Chen turned his attention to Sun Gang, his expression hardening. "Sun Gang, what brings you here?"
Sun Gang met his gaze, his expression unreadable. "I want to talk to you...in private."
