“Don’t worry, I won’t cut him up.” Bearing an ashen expression, Shen Zhangqing spitefully uttered, “I’m only going to intimidate him so he knows who’s boss. Stay out of it. I’ll be right back.”

Yun Jinping did not stop him and simply watched him go. She stood there for a while before making her way out the door to eavesdrop on the showdown in the yard.

Holding a knife in his hand, Shen Zhangqing pressed on the doorbell menacingly.

Kun Lun was surprised to see the person at the door through the CCTV. Instead of opening the door, he went to knock on the door to the study. “Boss, Mr. Shen is at the door.”

Furrowing his brows, Li Yuan was wondering who Kun Lun was referring to. It took a moment before he came to grips with who it was. He put down his work. “I’ll make my way to him.”

Shen Zhangqing had been waiting for a while. He tried to peek through the door crack but could see nothing. However, Shen Zhangqing soon picked up on footsteps in the courtyard drawing close, and the door was opened from the inside.

Li Yuan opened the door to the man standing there. Giving a nod, he politely and courteously smiled. “h.e.l.lo, Mr. Shen.”

Shen Zhangqing was dumbstruck. He immediately hid the knife behind his back and glanced at the handsome man, completely losing sight of his objective coming here. Nevertheless, he had been through life long enough to quickly calm his nerves. “Are you the owner of this house? I’m Shen Xi’s dad.”

“I’m your neighbor, Li Yuan. Pleased to meet you, Uncle Shen.” Li Yuan switched to a more intimate form of address. The smile across his lips was like a welcoming breeze during spring.

Shen Zhangqing got a load of the man, checking him up, down, left, and right, before asking, “Is my darling Toffeecito at your place?”

Crippled?

Wheelchair?

The man before his eyes was normal and looked sharp. He was nice and polite too.

“Toffeecito isn’t here. I just got back.” Li Yuan then heard a meow on the wall. Toffeecito made haste to his side and ran around his feet before rubbing itself against his leg.

Shen Zhangqing braced the burning shame in his cheeks, unable to find the right words to ask about his relations.h.i.+p with his daughter or if he seduced his little girl. None of the sentences seemed to come out right in his mind.

In the end, he looked at Toffeecito. “Toffeecito, come home with Grandpa.”

Toffeecito was rubbing affectionately against Li Yuan when Shen Zhangqing’s voice caught its attention. Lifting its head to meow at Shen Zhangqing, the cat jumped onto Li Yuan’s shoulder.

Li Yuan amusingly carried Toffeecito off his shoulder and pa.s.sed it to Shen Zhangqing. He inquired with a smile, “Uncle Shen, are you free right now? I have something I need to visit you personally and discuss.”

“What about, Mr. Li?” Shen Zhangqing had crossed paths with many big names to get to where he was and sit on billions of yuan of a.s.sets. The dignified and n.o.ble mien to the young man did not go amiss despite his best efforts to conceal it.

“The matter between Xixi and I.” Li Yuan came clean.

Shen Zhangqing pulled a long face and looked back in hostility. In the end, he nodded his head.

Kun Lun was relieved that Shen Zhangqing left. He thought Mr. Shen was going to cut Boss up when he charged over with a knife. Thank goodness that did not happen.

Throughout his walk home, Shen Zhangqing could not get over the shock.

Yun Jinping wanted to come along but stayed back in the courtyard, seeing that no fuss was kicked up next door. What would the neighbor think if both Shen Xi’s parents drop by his house? With Shen Zhangqing home, Yun Jinping approached him. “Honey, how did it go?”

Furrowing his brows, Shen Zhangqing thought it was odd. “He’s not a cripple.”

Yun Jinping was taken aback.

Shen Zhangqing proceeded. “He’s not old, I think he’s in his twenties. He’s not bad-looking. He said that he’d drop by later to talk about Xixi.”

He then moaned and groaned.

The kid was clearly no ordinary person since an average young man would not be able to hold his ground in front of Shen Zhangqing as he was the boss of a major corporation for decades now.

Miles away, Shen Xi had no idea about the situation here. She was fixated on the man in the video. His khaki trench coat added warm tones to his suave charm. “Brother, please put on warm clothes when you’re out.”

It was freezing outside now that it was just past 8 o’clock at night. The weather reported snow in the capital at night.

“Sure.” Li Yuan grinned tenderly at the girl’s blus.h.i.+ng face in the video. “Get some early rest. You have a flight to catch tomorrow. I’m heading out.”

“Okay.” Shen Xi obediently nodded. “Please be careful on the road.”

Li Yuan answered with a smile. “Okay.”

Kun Lun watched as Li Yuan ended the video chat and gripped tightly onto his phone. He was in two minds whether to be worried for Boss or gloat at what was to come.

It was his first to watch the tension eat Boss alive. In the past, Boss often strategized and carried himself with ease in the face of adversity.

Yet, the visit to meet the parents-in-law was poles apart from talking business.

Li Yuan took a deep breath and let the cold air into his lungs refresh his mind. Taking a look in the opposite direction, he sauntered out undauntedly.

Two hours later.

Li Yuan stayed to play chess with Shen Zhangqing in the living room.

Shen Zhangqing stared long at the chess piece in his hand with a frown. There were a few times he wanted to move the piece, but hesitation held him back.

Li Yuan quietly waited with a smile on his face while Toffeecito rolled around his lap in ennui. With its paws, it toyed with Li Yuan’s b.u.t.tons, scratching and biting.

Yun Jinping walked in and looked outside before glancing at the two who were engrossed in chess. “It’s snowing outside. Are you done yet?”

She had no opinion about Xixi’s boyfriend so long as Xixi’s feelings for him were true. Yun Jinping supported her, but she was reluctant when she found out the boyfriend was wheelchair-bound.

Yet now, Lil’ Li told them everything. His legs were broken from an accident, but he had been committed to getting better. It was only recently that he was able to stand up again.

Although he did not say much, they could tell that he really loved and cherished Xixi. Lil’ Li presented himself as genuine and gave them respect through his behavior and speech.

Shen Zhangqing would pull a sour look every time the subject about Xixi’s future boyfriend was brought up. However, he seemed to hit it off with Lil’ Li. They chatted for an hour about politics, finances, properties, and everything else under the sun.

Following the long conversation, Shen Zhangqing then happily invited Lil’ Li to chess and they had been at it till now.

Half an hour later, the round ended with Shen Zhangqing’s defeat.. Now that Li Yuan was gone, Shen Zhangqing’s expression was shrouded with scowl and worry.
