"Everything seems to be settled for now, what's up?"
Qin Chuan pondered for a moment and replied.
"If it's nothing, I'll take you somewhere fun to broaden your horizons!"
Yang Conglong winked, his expression as lewd as it could be.
Qin Chuan knew with his eyes closed that his brother-in-law's old habit had kicked in again.
Having earned so much money today, it was only natural for a rich second-generation to celebrate and splurge.
"Brother Long, if it's just about drinking and picking up girls, then forget it. I had fun last night, and although we're young and strong, we still need to practice moderation!"
"As the saying goes, 'Young folks don't know the value of their essence, and only weep with empty hands in old age!'"
Qin Chuan teased.
"Damn, what kind of person do you think I am? Do you really think I need women every day?"
Unexpectedly, Yang Conglong retorted loudly, contrary to his usual self.
"Don't you?"
Qin Chuan questioned.
"Get lost!"
Yang Conglong was somewhat flustered. "So what if I'm lustful? Am I not a man if I'm not? If you don't enjoy life while you're young, are you going to wait until you're old?"
"By the time you're old, you won't have the energy for it!"
"I meant that you should pace yourself."
Qin Chuan corrected him.
"I go out two or three times a week, isn't that pacing myself?"
Yang Conglong squinted. Suddenly, a gossipy look appeared on his face, and he threw an arm around Qin Chuan's neck, grinning. "Qin Chuan, how often do you go out?"
Qin Chuan didn't expect the conversation to turn to him, but he calmly coughed. After thinking, he said, "It depends. When my girlfriend is around, it's about the same frequency as you. When she's not around, I don't have those kinds of thoughts."
"Ah, that's more like it! All crows are black, no one should laugh at anyone else!"
Yang Conglong felt like he had regained some face.
"I'm not like you, though. I never go to prostitutes!"
Qin Chuan immediately retorted, then leaned closer and whispered, "Brother Long, I've been hiding something from you."
"What is it?"
Yang Conglong looked curious.
"Remember those two times we went out? I just gave the girls a little tip and sent them away!"
Qin Chuan whispered slyly.
"Holy crap, you little brat..."
Yang Conglong was indeed shocked, having never expected this outcome.
Qin Chuan chuckled.
He had, in a way, preemptively removed a potential source of trouble. This way, if his brother-in-law later discovered anything suspicious between him and Teacher Yang, he wouldn't be able to use this against him and cause unnecessary misunderstandings.
As they were bantering, the phone in Yang Conglong's pocket rang.
He pulled it out and saw that the usually unruly brother-in-law's face immediately changed. He put a "shushing" finger to Qin Chuan and whispered, "It's my dad calling!"
Then, he quickly answered the call and obediently said, "Dad!"
"You little brat, where have you been? I haven't seen you for days! Where are you goofing off?"
The moment the call was connected, a thunderous roar came from the other end. Qin Chuan, standing a few meters away, could hear it clearly and couldn't help but inwardly gloat.
"Dad, I've been busy with some things these past few days, I didn't intentionally avoid the company."
Yang Conglong explained.
"I don't care what you're doing now, but you have to be at the company within half an hour, immediately!"
Yang's father roared into the phone, his voice extremely loud.
After the call ended, Yang Conglong wore a dejected expression, as if the whole world had lost its meaning. The joy of earning so much money just moments ago had completely vanished.
"Qin Chuan, my dad wants me to go to the company right away."
"Looks like our plan to go out tonight is canceled..."
Qin Chuan quickly said, "It's okay, if Uncle wants you back at the company, it must be important. Hurry and go!"
"Alright, let's stay in touch by phone."
Yang Conglong didn't dally and immediately drove off. Qin Chuan was left alone at the entrance of the business hall.
He took out his phone from his pocket and made a call. After a few rings, it was answered, but there was no sound from the other end.
"Teacher Yang, what are you doing?"
Since the other party didn't initiate the conversation, Qin Chuan had to. He was already used to Teacher Yang's personality.
"Reading!"
Yang Zimo's voice was as calm as ever, like a pool of water without a ripple.
"Isn't reading every day a bit boring? Come out and relax!"
Qin Chuan said.
"No, it's boring!"
Yang Zimo refused.
"Don't be like that. Ever since I came to this provincial city, we haven't really spent time alone together!"
"My brother-in-law isn't around this afternoon, so there won't be any third wheels to disturb us. Please do me a favor."
Qin Chuan pleaded.
"You really have a thick skin. Who is your brother-in-law?"
From the other end of the phone, Yang Zimo's cool, goddess-like demeanor immediately cracked, and her tone carried a hint of teasing.
"Hehe, of course, it's Brother Long. Since he's your brother, he's naturally my brother-in-law."
"This relationship is set for life, and no one can change it!"
Qin Chuan ignored Yang Zimo's playful chiding and grinned.
"I'm already taking a taxi towards your place. Get ready, and we'll go out together!"
"No, I'm not home today!"
From the other side of the phone, Yang Zimo said anxiously.
"Where are you now? I'll come find you."
Suddenly, the sound of playful chatter could be heard from Yang Zimo's end. Qin Chuan clearly heard another girl shout, "Bring her over for us to see! Let's see which young master has managed to capture our little fairy's heart?"
"Stop messing around, I... I don't!"
Qin Chuan guessed that Yang Zimo was at a good friend's house. He wasn't in a hurry and quietly listened to the commotion through the phone.
It seemed like they were wrestling for the phone. After a moment, a girl's voice with a slightly husky, smoky tone came through.
"Hello, handsome! I'll tell you, Xiao Mo is at my place. My address is at the Yingbin Hotel on Wuyi Road. Call us when you get here, and we'll come out to get you!"
"Okay! Thank you, beautiful!"
Qin Chuan smiled and hung up the phone. He hailed a taxi, gave the address, and the taxi immediately set off.
About twenty minutes later, Qin Chuan had arrived at his destination. After paying the fare and getting out of the car, he dialed Yang Zimo's phone number.
Unexpectedly, the phone's ringtone came from not far away. Qin Chuan looked in the direction of the ringtone and saw two tall figures standing at the entrance of an alley.
One of them was Teacher Yang, whom he hadn't seen in days. Her pure and refined demeanor and beauty were as captivating as ever, making it hard to forget her at first glance.
Beside Yang Zimo stood a woman with permed wavy hair. She was tall and also very beautiful, easily scoring a ninety out of a hundred.
It truly was a case of "birds of a feather flock together."
Yang Zimo, at 1.7 meters tall, was already quite tall for a girl, but this woman was slightly taller than Teacher Yang, around 1.72 meters. She was dressed very fashionably and sexily.
Her upper body was a lace-trimmed low-cut short-sleeved top, revealing her ample assets, while her lower body was a pair of denim shorts, showcasing her smooth and slender long legs.
Her eyes were also exquisitely made up, a stark contrast to Teacher Yang's conservative style.
