Chapter 326: Chapter 149: The Mother-in-law’s Deep Scrutiny of Her Son-in-law, Grows More Satisfied the More She Looks_4

Apart from replying to his three girlfriends, Li Yuan also responded to messages from some of his high school and college classmates. After he became famous, he would receive many messages every day, especially in the evening.

「In the living room」

Yang Jinyu was whispering to Bai Weixi.

"Baby, does Li Yuan have to write his novels so late every day?"

Bai Weixi shook her head, then nodded. "I’m not quite sure, but that sounds about right. I’ve read his novel. His daily updates are huge. He writes over 10,000 words a day."

Yang Jinyu clicked her tongue. As a primary school Chinese language teacher, she naturally understood how difficult it was to write a 10,000-word novel Chapter in a single day.

"Then Li Yuan must be exhausted. Writing 10,000 words a day means he has to spend at least half his day on it. He probably doesn’t have much time to spend with you. That money isn’t easy to earn."

"Baby, you need to be more understanding toward Li Yuan in the future. It’s not easy for him, so don’t go throwing tantrums over nothing."

Bai Weixi hummed softly and nodded with a grin. "Mom, I’m very well-behaved. I rarely bother him when he’s writing."

Yang Jinyu pinched Bai Weixi’s cheek. "As long as you understand."

"By the way, Baby, Li Yuan is so exceptional, and his looks and physique are great. You should spend more time with him and keep a close eye on him. Don’t let another girl snatch him away, or you’ll be the one crying."

A shiver went through Bai Weixi’s heart as she recalled the cold war she’d had with Li Yuan at the start of the semester. If she hadn’t resolved to mend their relationship, they might have lost their chance to be together forever.

As for whether Li Yuan would ever lack female admirers? Bai Weixi knew better than anyone. Back in high school, she was already aware that other girls in their class had secret crushes on him. Even before he started making money writing novels, he was an outstanding person. He had good grades, was tall and handsome with a sunny disposition, and was warm and generous. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have developed a crush on him herself during their two years as deskmates.

"I know, Mom. I trust Li Yuan."

Yang Jinyu was only offering a reminder, as she was thoroughly pleased with Li Yuan. He had only been writing for three or four months and had likely earned four to five million, yet he was willing to spend seven to eight hundred thousand on a car for his daughter. On their first meeting, he even gave her and her husband gifts worth over a hundred thousand. If that wasn’t a sign of his sincerity toward her daughter, she really couldn’t imagine what would be.

Yang Jinyu yawned. After sitting on a bus for half the day and then walking around for hours, she was starting to feel tired.

"Baby, you wait here for Li Yuan. Tell him not to stay up so late. He drank so much, so he should get to bed early."

"Okay, I know. I’ll wait for him a little longer."

"Alright, I’ll go wash up and get some sleep. I’m exhausted. That bus ride was awful," Yang Jinyu grumbled. Her mind drifted to her daughter’s expensive sports car, and a sudden idea came to her. That sports car is just for show, not practical at all. It would be so much better if it were a sedan.

After sending the messages, Li Yuan opened his cloud storage and sighed at his dwindling manuscript stockpile. Only 300,000 words were left. Since confirming his relationships with Xia Zhijin, Zhong Tingyue, and the other girls, his writing time had shrunk considerably.

There were also company matters to attend to. The Zhihu website’s development was complete and ready for market testing after the National Day holiday. The game development was also proceeding smoothly. At the current pace, it could enter closed beta testing in early 2009.

Beyond that, he still hadn’t selected locations for his milk tea shop. He had already contacted real estate agents to buy some storefronts in busy shopping malls and other bustling areas. However, the subsequent renovations, brand registration, and acquisition of various permits would likely take another month or two.

Compared to all that, investing in stocks was much more straightforward. A few days ago, he had registered a Hong Kong stock account and, before the National Day holiday, invested 10,000,000 in cash into Bicrown Di stock. It had risen somewhat in the past few days and showed signs of a major surge. According to the financial news he remembered from his past life, once Buffett actually invested in Bicrown Di, the stock would soar, possibly multiplying several times over.

Li Yuan muttered to himself. I’ll inject some more money into Bicrown Di stock tomorrow. Their market cap is huge, so my tens of millions might cause some ripples, but it shouldn’t trigger a sudden collapse and get me slaughtered like a pig... right? I’m just trying to make a little extra cash, that’s all.

Alright, time to write. Even if I become a billionaire, I can’t just abandon my novel.

Li Yuan’s hands flew across the keyboard. His mind was brimming with inspiration that seemed to generate automatically, transforming into words that appeared one by one on the screen.

After writing 10,000 words in one go, he glanced at the time. It was already eleven at night.

Just as he was about to wrap up, he heard a knock on the door.

Li Yuan clicked ’Save,’ stretched lazily, and got up to open it.

He was greeted by the sight of Bai Weixi in a silk nightgown, her pale shoulders and slender legs exposed. She exuded a vibe that was both pure and sultry—an extremely tempting sight. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

Bai Weixi walked in and asked sweetly, "Honey, it’s already eleven. Aren’t you coming to bed?"

Li Yuan teased back, "I was just waiting for your mom to fall asleep."

"Bai, you look really nice. Feeling it?"

Bai Weixi blushed a deep red and shyly lowered her head. She was, in fact, feeling a little in the mood, but with her parents in the house, she didn’t dare act on it.

Bai Weixi rolled her eyes at him. "You jerk, Li Yuan! My mom’s in the next room. Keep your voice down. It would be terrible if she heard."

Li Yuan chuckled mischievously. "Bai, don’t you think it would be more thrilling if your mom heard us?"

Bai Weixi’s cheeks were scarlet as she pounded his chest in embarrassed annoyance. "You jerk, Li Yuan! You’re so bad."

Li Yuan gazed at the delectable beauty before him, stepped forward, pulled Bai Weixi into an embrace, and kissed her deeply, pushing the study door shut behind them.

Startled by his actions, Bai Weixi initially tried to push him away with all her might, but as she breathed in his scent...

With a soft whimper, Bai Weixi’s sensitive body went boneless, melting into his arms.

As Li Yuan’s hands began to wander...

Bai Weixi completely panicked and hastily played a weak card to block him. "Honey, my parents are next door! Not in here."

Unfazed, Li Yuan countered with a trump card. "Bai, your dad passed out drunk long ago, and your mom was exhausted from the long bus ride. She’s fast asleep. Don’t worry, they won’t hear a thing."

Bai Weixi stammered, trying to refuse, but with no cards left to play, she could only let Li Yuan continue playing his cards.

"Three, four, five, six, seven... a straight. I’m out of cards. Bai, you lose. A bet’s a bet... now come here."

Li Yuan chuckled. "Bai..."

Blushing furiously, Bai Weixi obediently leaned over the desk. Her heart pounded as she nervously glanced at the text on Li Yuan’s computer screen. The passage was a subtly written romantic scene between the protagonist, Xiao Yan, and Queen Medusa.

"You jerk, Li Yuan! All you do is bully me," she murmured, her heart racing as she nervously yet expectantly awaited the ’punishment’ for her loss.

As Li Yuan...

The study was suddenly filled with...

「In the next room」

Yang Jinyu had been asleep for a while. Having drunk a lot of juice earlier, she got up to use the bathroom. As she passed the study, she noticed a dim light seeping from under the door.

She muttered to herself, "It’s this late, and Li Yuan still hasn’t rested?"

Suddenly, a peculiar sound drifted from the study.

Eh? What’s that sound? It sounds like Xixi. Why is she still awake at this hour? Could it be... she’s in the study with Li Yuan?

As someone who had been through it all, Yang Jinyu naturally understood the things that happened between men and women. Although she already knew her daughter was living with Li Yuan, she never imagined that while she and Bai Tianqi were still in the house, her daughter would dare to ’play cards’ right under their noses.

How incredibly bold of them.

She scoffed quietly and, as if possessed, tiptoed to the study door, pressing her ear against it to listen to the sounds from inside.
