Lin Rou had never dared to act rashly in front of the Lei family. It was only when Lei Shan and Yun Zhi returned to their rooms upstairs after dinner, did she dare to approach Lei Hanping, “Fourth Brother, the light in my room seems to be broken, can you help me fix it?”

Without waiting for Lei Hanping to speak, Li Yuhuan spoke up, “Go and help your sister fix it. I brought my laptop here, I can go to your house and work while I wait for you,” With that, she left the main building without even a glance back.

Lei Hanping could only watch Li Yuhuan’s back as she walked further and further away, the light in his eyes gradually dimming.

Lin Rou bit her lips in grievance and deliberately asked, “Fourth Brother, do you really like Fourth Sister-In-Law? I don’t think she likes you that much…”

“Even you can tell she doesn’t like me?” Lei Hanping asked.

The corner of Lin Rou’s twitched ever so slightly. It seemed that she had succeeded in wiggling the doubt into his head, so she added more oil to the fire and said, “That’s right, Fourth Brother. Don’t you think Fourth Sister-In-Law is acting weird? When your parents were still around, she was very good to you, but when they left, she looks as though she couldn’t wait to distance herself from you,”

The space between Lei Hanping’s brow furrowed together, seemingly thinking hard about her observation. Lin Rou almost couldn’t contain her excitement but was quickly shattered when he asked her,”Then what do you think I should do to make your Fourth Sister-In-Law fall in love with me?”

Lei Hanping couldn’t help but agree with Lin Rou’s remark. Although he and Li Yuhuan had done very intimate things, they were limited to physical contact only.

He couldn’t touch her heart.

“What?” Lin Rou thought she had heard him wrong.

“I’m chasing your Fourth Sister-In-Law,” Lei Hanping massaged his temple. He did not expect to be in such a hurry, but Shen Ang’s appearance undoubtedly sounded the alarms in his head. Although he had tricked Li Yuhuan into marrying him, he did not have a marriage certificate to fall back, which means she could leave him at any time.

Lin Rou froze. She couldn’t believe what she had just heard. Lei Hanping’s words were like a bolt from the blue to her. Fourth Brother, who was so high and mighty in her eyes, a perfect man, was actually chasing after a woman? And a woman who didn’t love him?

…

Li Yuhuan was half-lying in bed, working and editing the new erotic film sent from New York. There was too much work she hadn’t finished.

Lei Hanping entered the room with the sounds of flirtatious moans coming from her laptop.

“This is… a job I took in New York, I’m helping them cut out some clips for publicity,” Li Yuhuan plainly explained. She doesn’t think her work was shameful, so she didn’t bother to close her computer. Though, she doesn’t go into details about her occupation to anyone other than Song Ran.

Lei Hanping walked over and took a glance at Li Yuhuan’s screen. When he saw the clip on the screen, he asked, “You directed this?”

“No. The ones I directed are…” Li Yuhuan paused, realizing that Lei Hanping had tricked her into spilling more about herself. She smiled and said, “Fourth Brother is indeed a general. You’re amazing,” She didn’t hide it anymore and told him her profession truthfully. She also found a few of the more explicit films she had directed in New York, “I directed all three of them,”

What Li Yuhuan didn’t expect was for Lei Hanping to respond with, “I’ve seen them all,”

It shocked her speechless.

Lei Hanping moved her laptop closer to him and pointed to a film, “This movie is great,”

Li Yuhuan looked and realized that the one Lei Hanping was pointing at was an R-rated one! The thought of discussing the intimate details of her work in this particular movie with someone like Lei Hanping only burned her cheeks. Li Yuhuan quickly excused herself to the bathroom for a shower before Lei Hanping could even start talking about the plot with her.

When she came out, she didn’t expect to see Lei Hanping changed into a white shirt and black suit pants. He was holding a coat in his hand.

“Fourth Brother is going out?” Li Yuhuan asked.

“Pei Rongyu and the others have organized a party to welcome me back,” He said as he closed the door to his cloakroom.

“Go have fun then, Fourth Brother,” Li Yuhuan said to Lei Hanping as she dried her hair. Her posture remained calm and relaxed.

Lei Hanping looked at her for a moment, she could feel his boring onto her back. She waited for him to say something, but he didn’t. Li Yuhuan sat in front of the dressing table and just as she finished spraying her moisturizer, she heard the bedroom door close behind her.

It was very, very soft…

…

Jin Zhao was a private club under Rongyu Management and was personally managed by Pei Rongyu himself. To most outsiders, Jin Zhao was a club dedicated to the upper class to eat, drink, and have fun. It was a treasured place for someone like Pei Rongyu to expand his network. However, to Pei Rongyu Jin Zhao was a good place for him to drink and play cards with his good brothers.

The brothers who had gone through life and death with him in the army had all entered different industries after they left the army. Some were in politics, some were in business, and some were not good at anything and had to go back to inherit their families’ businesses. Only Lei Hanping remained in the army.

Every time he returned from a mission, Pei Rongyu would welcome him back at his club.

Whenever he noticed Lei Hanping hadn’t drunk too much, he would constantly persuade him, “Fourth Brother, don’t worry too much about your marriage. Why do you care so much about what others think of you? How many people know the things you have gone through, huh? Exactly! You don’t need to care about what they think of you, you earned your rank as a general in exchange for your life! When have you not danced around death?”
