After Swapping Lives, the Metaphysics Side Character Became the Wealthy Family's Beloved - Chapter 86

The arrival of President Ye and his wife took the Li family by surprise.

When they learned the couple was there to see Li Qiao, everyone turned their attention to her.

President Ye gently supported Zhuang Daoyu as they entered.

Li Qiao’s gaze instinctively fell on Zhuang Daoyu’s abdomen, and a knowing smile appeared on her face.

“Master… just as you said, my wife is… hehe… Master, thank you.”

President Ye was so overcome with gratitude that he barely knew what to say.

A child. He never thought he and his wife could still have a child at their age.

Given the sensitive nature of the matter, the couple didn’t mention it explicitly in front of so many people.

They were a little embarrassed—after all, they weren’t exactly young anymore!

This was Zhuang Daoyu’s first time meeting Li Qiao, and she instantly took a liking to her. The girl was beautiful, refined, and incredibly talented.

Zhuang Daoyu’s eyes shone with warmth. “Qiaoqiao, thank you.”

“President Ye and Madam have accumulated good karma. These two children will have smooth and fortunate lives.” Li Qiao smiled as she looked at her belly.

Zhuang Daoyu’s eyes lit up with joy.

Hearing this reassurance put her mind at ease.

President Ye asked Li Qiao to step aside for a private word, leaving the Li family and Shen Juncheng puzzled.

In the courtyard.

President Ye hesitated, his expression uncertain, which caught Li Qiao’s attention.

“President Ye, speak freely.”

Hesitation didn’t suit him.

“Master… how did you know my wife was carrying two children?” It was still so early in the pregnancy.

His gaze fixed on her intently.

Li Qiao’s eyes flickered slightly. “President Ye, you already have a guess in your heart, don’t you?”

President Ye’s eyes widened.

“The children… they… that pair of siblings…?”

Li Qiao nodded.

“You share a bond. They chose you. President Ye, do you remember the little girl touching your forehead?”

A look of realization dawned on President Ye’s face.

He understood now.

Those two pitiful children had become part of their family. The thought filled him with happiness.

Li Qiao said, “This is a fate they chose for themselves.”

“Haha, that’s wonderful!” President Ye was overjoyed.

With President Ye and his wife staying, the Li household became lively again.

As dinnertime approached, neither the Ye couple nor Shen Juncheng showed any signs of leaving. The sudden influx of guests meant their usual kitchen staff wasn’t enough.

When this was brought up, Shen Juncheng gave a single glance to Assistant Liang, who immediately went to make arrangements.

Not to be outdone, President Ye also made calls—adding a pastry chef to the mix wasn’t excessive, right?

Young girls loved desserts, after all. Classy.

Li Qiao took it all in stride. If they wanted to spoil her, she’d gladly accept. After all, she had provided excellent service to both families.

Besides, it wasn’t like she was the only one eating.

“Qiaoqiao really knows how to enjoy life.”

Li Shaohang gave her a thumbs-up, and Li Qiao grinned brightly.

But right now, her thoughts were actually on the Liu family.

I wonder how Liu Yusheng and Liu Yulan are doing?

The memory of that disgusting scene still made her nauseous.

Meanwhile.

Liu Yulan gradually regained consciousness, her body weak and aching.

The filthy beggars who had taken advantage of her had fled immediately—staying would have meant certain death.

Even Liu Yusheng, despite being a man, hadn’t escaped their assault.

He felt sick to his stomach.

But when he saw Liu Yulan, his heart ached. He gently picked her up and carried her into the bathroom.

Hot water cascaded over their bodies, as if trying to wash away the filth.

Liu Yulan weakly opened her eyes, looking at Liu Yusheng—the man who doted on her to an almost insane degree—and gave a bitter smile.

“Yusheng… I’m dirty now…”

Before she could finish, a violent coughing fit overtook her.

The men had ruined her. Even moving was agony now.

But the most humiliating part?

She had enjoyed it.

She had actually felt pleasure—so intense it was almost euphoric.

The experience had left her both terrified and… addicted.

Liu Yusheng gazed at her flushed face and said tenderly, “Silly, how could you say that? You’re the purest person I know.”

He gently stroked her forehead before pressing a feather-light kiss to her lips.

Liu Yulan trembled, her eyes glistening. “Yusheng… you really don’t despise me?”

“I could never. I love you too much.”

When he pulled back, he found her face streaked with tears.

“Why are you crying? Are you hurt somewhere?” Liu Yusheng asked worriedly.

His voice was so tender it shattered her self-control.

Liu Yulan threw her arms around his neck, burying her face in his chest as she sobbed uncontrollably.

Under his soothing words, her emotions gradually settled—replaced by something far more dangerous.

Naked in his arms, all her worries melted away.

After what had happened today, she had expected him to reject her. But this fool still worshipped her.

Pathetic.

And yet… she loved having such a devoted lapdog.

Liu Yulan leaned closer, her hands sliding up his shoulders as she pressed her lips to his in a deep, hungry kiss.

“Hmm?” Liu Yusheng’s eyes widened in surprise.

But he quickly recovered, gripping her waist and kissing her back with equal fervor.

Her sudden passion thrilled him.

Liu Yulan smirked inwardly. Men really are all the same.

If he was this easy to manipulate, why not take full advantage?

Her movements grew bolder, their breaths hot and ragged.

The air thickened with desire.

Just as things were heating up—

Knock, knock.

They froze.

“Godmother…?”

Li Songsong?!

What was she doing here?

Too weak to move, Liu Yulan gestured for Liu Yusheng to handle it.

Frustration darkened his face as he reluctantly pulled away.

Once he was gone, Liu Yulan simmered with irritation.

Couldn’t she have picked a worse time?!

Outside, Liu Yusheng was… uncomfortable, but it wasn’t unbearable.

Li Songsong stood there in a figure-hugging dress, her curves on full display.

Instantly, his attention shifted.

“Uncle… is Godmother here?”

“She left.”

Liu Yusheng had always been a womanizer. Though he was obsessed with Liu Yulan, that never stopped him from bedding others.

And Li Songsong—that innocent little white flower—had caught his eye long ago.

“Ah… I couldn’t reach her. I was worried something happened.”

“Don’t worry. You should go.”

Li Songsong hesitated, then said, “Uncle… I saw Aunt Song go to the Li family. What happened to you today… I think the Li family might be behind it.”

Liu Yusheng’s expression turned vicious.

The Li family.

Again.

After sending Li Songsong away, he returned to Liu Yulan for another intense session before they finally left.

But—

Liu Yusheng didn’t go home.

Instead, he stormed to the Li residence and began hurling abuse at their gate.

But the person who stepped out wasn’t a member of the Li family.

It was a stranger.
