Lin Zhiguo and Lin Wanxi both looked relatively tense, not knowing who was at the door.

Either Chen Xuan had come back alive, or the butler of the Zhou family had brought people to cause trouble.

"Wanxi, open the door!"

Chen Xuan's voice came from outside the door.

Lin Wanxi immediately became excited, "Dad, it's Chen Xuan, he's back!"

She quickly ran over and opened the door.

"Chen Xuan, you're not hurt, are you? Let me take a look."

Lin Wanxi immediately started checking him seriously.

Chen Xuan felt a bit uncomfortable, "Why don't we go to your bedroom, and I can take off my clothes for a full body check?"

Lin Wanxi's face changed, and she snorted, "In your dreams!"

Even though she said that, seeing Chen Xuan unharmed made Lin Wanxi feel relieved.

The weight that was hanging over her finally settled down.

Lin Zhiguo's face was full of smiles; it seemed he guessed right, Chen Xuan indeed had an extraordinary background and could handle the Zhou family.

"Chen Xuan, it's good that you're back! You wouldn't believe it, Wanxi was constantly checking the time earlier, so worried about you." Lin Zhiguo said with a grin.

"Dad, I wasn't as dramatic as you're saying." Lin Wanxi's face turned a shy red, with a hint of displeasure.

Zhang Ru took a moment to come back to her senses and said in surprise, "Chen Xuan, did you go to the old pits tonight?"

"Yes, just came back from there." Chen Xuan replied with a smile.

"Really, the Zhou family didn't give you a hard time? Just let you come back?" Zhang Ru felt it was incomprehensible.

Chen Xuan chuckled softly, "The Zhou family no longer exists, no need to ask about this topic."

Zhang Ru's face turned gloomy, feeling there must be something tricky here.

She absolutely didn't believe that a poor chap like Chen Xuan could wipe out the Zhou family.

Lin Zhiguo, knowing something, said with a grin, "Since there's nothing more, let's get some sleep and rest early."

Lin Wanxi and Chen Xuan went upstairs together.

Zhang Ru's expression changed subtly, "Old Lin, do you really think Chen Xuan could destroy the Zhou family? I somehow feel it's not believable!"

"Maybe he just took a stroll and came back, never went to the old pits!"

Lin Zhiguo waved his hand, "I think Chen Xuan isn't that kind of person, nor does he have a reason to lie to us."

"If he didn't go to the old pits, the Zhou family's butler would have already brought people to us."

"Chen Xuan isn't as simple as you think! Change your attitude towards him and stop treating him coldly."

Zhang Ru snorted lightly, "You just treat him like a treasure! I don't see what's so special about him."

"If you want me to treat him nicely, at least give me something convincing."

Lin Zhiguo shook his head slightly, "You, as a woman, have short-sightedness!"

Zhang Ru was immediately unhappy, "Doesn't he just know a little medical skill? What's the big deal! You say I'm short-sighted, I think you're the one bewitched by him! Pushing our daughter into the fire pit!"

Upstairs, at the master bedroom door.

Lin Wanxi pushed open the bedroom door and turned to look at Chen Xuan, "I need to explain to you, I was really worried about your safety tonight, but it doesn't mean I like you, understand?"

"Don't overthink it, and don't think I care about you a lot."

Chen Xuan chuckled, "Lin Wanxi, did I say anything?"

"Aren't you overthinking it? There's a saying that 'explaining is covering up,' you might want to understand that."

Lin Wanxi gritted her teeth, "Anyway, just don't have any inappropriate thoughts about me."

"Rest assured, I'll definitely keep my distance from you." Chen Xuan said with a smile, spreading his hands.

"You... you're driving me crazy!"

Lin Wanxi looked very angry, "If I say one more word to you, I'll become... humph!"

She didn't finish the last sentence and angrily shut the door.

Chen Xuan gave a playful smile, he could tell that Lin Wanxi was just trying to find something to say.

Clearly worried about him but insisted on appearing indifferent.

To put it nicely, it's called a girl's reservation.

In truth, it's just pretentious!

He had to be the one to bow his head, to coax her in every way possible.

He wouldn't accommodate Lin Wanxi; he felt they were like a pair of happy foes.

As for how things would develop in the future, they'd take one step at a time.

...

The next morning, Chen Xuan drove Lin Wanxi to inspect the counters of various pharmacies.

Because of last night's incident, Lin Wanxi held a grudge and ignored Chen Xuan.

Chen Xuan just found it amusing, wondering how long Lin Sister could keep up the act.

When they stopped in front of a pharmacy, Lin Wanxi had just taken a few steps out when she suddenly turned around and came back.

She grabbed Chen Xuan's arm with a face full of intimate smiles.

"Honey, are you tired from accompanying me to inspect the pharmacy?"

Phew!

Chen Xuan was taken aback; what was going on?

What did it mean when Lin Wanxi suddenly...

Seeing Ye Qingxian coming out from the pharmacy entrance, Chen Xuan immediately understood.

It turned out Lin Wanxi was deliberately showing off to Ye Qingxian, the rivalry between the two beauties was never-ending.

"Since when did you two become so affectionate?" Ye Qingxian said with a playful smirk, "Lin Wanxi, deliberately showing love in front of me, do you think I would believe it?"

"If you have the guts, let Chen Xuan kiss you, Lin Wanxi, dare you? Haha!"

Chen Xuan smirked secretly, you two beautiful women competing openly and in secret, don't involve the innocent, okay?

Lin Sister had that look in her eyes, could she really be thinking about a real kiss...?
