Hearing Li Qianfan say that, ng Lin's expression turned sowhat resentful.
ng Lin had initially planned to use this opportunity to spend ti alone with Li Qianfan and kindle their relationship—perhaps even win him over!
But now that Li Qianfan had requested three invitations and wanted to take Li Dalong along, how could she accept this?
"It's enough if just the two of us go. Your cousin is just starting his business and is very busy," ng Lin mumbled.
Li Qianfan, of course, understood what ng Lin ant, and he emphasized, "Sister-in-law, even if my brother is busy, he can't be left out of such an event. Plus, you are my brother's wife; you should think more for him."
"Yes, yes, you are right. Is my admitting my mistake not enough?"
ng Lin sighed and said, "I'm just worried he'll feel inferior, having never attended such a high-end event. He'd definitely be awkward there, barely daring to breathe."
"That's exactly why we need to expose him to the world," Li Qianfan said seriously.
Seeing that Li Qianfan was resolute on bringing Li Dalong, ng Lin pursed her lips and fell silent.
After returning ho, Li Qianfan wondered whether he should call Liu Ruyan and Lin Ran to inform them about the possible appearance of the Red Blood Spirit Root at the auction.
But after so hesitation, Li Qianfan decided against it.
After all, he hadn't attended the auction yet, and it was still uncertain whether the Red Blood Spirit Root would appear there.
If he rushed to tell Liu Ruyan and Lin Ran now and the Red Blood Spirit Root didn't show up at the auction, causing them to be happily mistaken, wouldn't that be awkward?
So, it was better to keep silent for now and tell them about it after he actually acquired the Red Blood Spirit Root. If it didn't appear at the auction, he would just act as if there had been no auction.
Dinner was ready, and ng Lin eagerly called Li Qianfan and Li Dalong to eat.
Thinking she could attend such a high-end auction tomorrow evening, although she didn't expect to bid on anything, ng Lin still felt genuinely happy.
After all, with her status and social standing, she wouldn't normally qualify to attend such an upscale event. Therefore, just being eligible to enter the venue already made her quite satisfied—how could she ask for more?
And all this was thanks to Li Qianfan, so as they sat down at the dinner table, ng Lin kept her eyes fixed on Li Qianfan, even continuously serving him food.
Li Qianfan's bowl was almost piled into a small mountain.
"Sister-in-law, please, let do it myself," Li Qianfan hurriedly said.
Before ng Lin could say anything, Li Dalong, already flush-faced, said, "Xiao Fan, your sister-in-law is just showing her concern for you."
"Exactly."
ng Lin smiled and nodded, her beautiful eyes locked on Li Qianfan.
Li Qianfan felt very helpless; ng Lin was making it so obvious—didn't his cousin care at all?
After a few drinks, Li Dalong began to float on cloud nine.
"Xiao Fan, you don't know. My hot pot restaurant has been doing particularly well these past few days. It's not even a full-fledged restaurant, yet many people dine there, and it's downright packed during al tis."
"And I have frequent visits; staff from Ugly Group and Sated Yet have been running to my shop over and over, urging to join their delivery campaign. But this is a hot pot restaurant—how can I send out deliveries? So, I politely refused."
"Looking at this situation, my hot pot restaurant will definitely make a huge profit! Xiao Fan, this is all thanks to you. Without the startup capital you provided, I couldn't have achieved this!"
Li Dalong was over the moon, ridiculously excited, his face full of pride.
Seeing Li Dalong so happy, Li Qianfan genuinely felt joy for him.
But right then, a foot slid from under the table, caressing Li Qianfan's calf back and forth.
Without thinking, he knew it was his sister-in-law ng Lin's high-heeled beautiful foot; Li Qianfan felt utterly helpless inside.
He had rejected his sister-in-law several tis already, why couldn't she just give up?
Li Dalong boasted for quite a while before finally looked at Li Qianfan, his expression gradually turned serious.
"Xiao Fan, there's sothing I want to discuss with you," Li Dalong said.
"You say it, if I can help, I definitely will," Li Qianfan responded without hesitation.
Li Dalong hesitated for a mont before finally saying, "Xiao Fan, you know I'm not capable in that departnt. ng Lin has been married to for so long, and there's been no movent in her belly. It looks like I probably can't continue the family lineage."
Upon hearing this, Li Qianfan's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Was Li Dalong going to really just lay it all out?
"Brother, you... what do you an by bringing this up all of a sudden?" Li Qianfan said, his face awkward.
Li Dalong gave a bitter smile and said, "Don't you understand what I an? I can't continue our lineage, but I can't let our family's line end. And since you don't have a partner yet and marriage is still far off for you, why not…"
He struggled for a few seconds, then as if having made up his mind, he said pointedly, "Why not have you help , help and your sister-in-law to conceive a child?"
Even though he had anticipated that Li Dalong would say this, hearing it now still made Li Qianfan's hand shake a bit with his chopsticks.
"Did I scare you, Xiao Fan?" Li Dalong asked with a goofy smile, rubbing the back of his head.
Li Qianfan sighed and said, "Bro, how can I agree to this? ng Lin is your woman, I can't..."
Before Li Qianfan could finish, Li Dalong gave him a stern look, "I'm not giving ng Lin to you; what are you worried about? As if I'd easily let go of ng Lin!"
"It's just about helping to conceive, don't worry so much. Just say if you can do it or not."
Li Qianfan fell silent, not uttering a word for a long ti.
To tell the truth, Li Qianfan was quite interested in ng Lin.
ng Lin was a mature woman, exuding a charm specific to mature won, and she was also very gentle and considerate towards Li Qianfan.
Even though recently ng Lin had been behaving a bit frivolously, Li Qianfan knew his sister-in-law was a rare good woman.
But no matter what, she was his cousin's woman!
Li Qianfan was in turmoil inside, while ng Lin's high-heeled beautiful foot beca even more daring.
ng Lin's nylon-clad beautiful foot in high heels kept rubbing Li Qianfan's calf, even stretching toward his thigh.
Li Qianfan could even sll the perfu emanating from ng Lin's nylon-clad legs.
"Xiao Fan, your brother and I discussed this several tis before finally deciding. Don't shrug it off any longer, do you really want to see your brother end his lineage?" ng Lin persuaded.
