Chapter 0031: A Man and a Woman Alone
Watching the group members, led by Versailles Tricolor, mock and ridicule him in various ways, Li Bin clenched his fists tightly.
All of them had joined the group later than him!
Although he couldn't even get a contract now, in terms of experience, he was definitely far richer than them.
If his old book hadn't been banned, it would have at least 8,000 average subscriptions by now!
Moreover, he had just been telling the truth and encouraging the newcomer.
But he never expected that this group of people, because his words conflicted with Versailles Tricolor's, and coupled with his three failed contract attempts, would mock and ridicule him like this!
What made Li Bin even more furious was that even the newcomer who had asked the question was actually joining them in mocking him!!
Li Bin wanted to retort, but on second thought, this group respected only results. He had no achievements to speak of now, and saying more would only invite more mockery and humiliation.
Reasoning with these people would only make them despise him more!
And even if he won the argument, so what?
Those who looked down on him would still look down on him!
It was better to just keep his mouth shut!
After such a blow, Li Bin's mood instantly soured.
The happy mood he had from Wen Lan just now plummeted.
Writing had always been Li Bin's hobby. To write a good book, gain the recognition of many readers, and get published to prove himself had always been Li Bin's dream.
This path was extremely bumpy, and Li Bin had countless times been hit so hard he wanted to give up.
But in the end, it was his love for it that made him persevere.
Now, he couldn't give up even more!
Because of writing, he had suffered too much mockery and contempt.
To back down without proving himself would only let those who had looked down on, doubted, and mocked him succeed.
It would only prove they were right!
Li Bin gritted his teeth hard and muttered to himself, "I will never admit defeat!"
"Brother-in-law, what are you doing up there? Writing?" Just then, his sister-in-law Wen Lan's pleasant voice suddenly came from outside the door.
Li Bin composed himself, got up and opened the door, and smiled at Wen Lan, who was standing at the door with her hands behind her back. "No, I was just reading a book to relax. I got tired from shopping."
Wen Lan's hair was still a little wet. Her thick, black long hair was draped over her shoulders. She was wearing a white shirt on top and a short skirt on the bottom. Perhaps because she hadn't dried off completely, the white shirt clung to her body, and Li Bin could vaguely see a charming cleavage at her chest.
Wen Lan curiously glanced into Li Bin's study. Li Bin was usually a fairly tidy person, and his study was quite neat, except for the pile of cigarette butts in the ashtray and the faint smell of smoke lingering in the room, which made Wen Lan frown slightly. "Brother-in-law, you should smoke less. It's not good for your health... Um... I just washed the fruit we bought and brought some up for you."
As she spoke, Wen Lan gently took a bowl of fruit from behind her and handed it to Li Bin.
Li Bin quickly took the fruit. He picked a cherry tomato from it, popped it into his mouth, and said, "You're the most thoughtful one, sis. Want to come in and sit for a while?"
Li Bin felt this was a good opportunity.
The thought of the reward he could get after conquering his sister-in-law Wen Lan made him even more anxious.
"I've never seen your study before, brother-in-law..." Wen Lan casually walked into Li Bin's study and sat comfortably on the sofa. Looking at Li Bin's computer, she asked, "Brother-in-law, is writing web novels really that profitable? How do you even write them? If it were me, I couldn't even write a ten-thousand-word graduation thesis."
Li Bin smiled and glanced at Wen Lan. He saw that she was sitting on the sofa with her legs slightly parted unconsciously. The short skirt only covered part of her beautiful legs.
Her round, snowy-white thighs were mostly exposed.
From the gap between her legs, Li Bin could even see her pink panties inside.
This instantly made Li Bin's breathing quicken.
His sister-in-law looked so tempting!
Moreover, the two of them were now alone in a room, a man and a woman!!
This atmosphere made Li Bin feel incredibly ambiguous!
Suppressing the impulse in his heart, Li Bin walked over to Wen Lan's side with the fruit bowl, placed it on the tea table in front of her, and said with a smile, "It's just like how you love to dance. I've loved writing since I was a child. It's also my dream. How could pursuing your own dreams and interests feel like hard work?"
As he spoke, Li Bin sat down directly next to Wen Lan.
The two of them were very close, and Li Bin's thigh could touch Wen Lan's exposed, jade-like leg.
Li Bin had also changed into a pair of casual shorts after returning to his room.
His thigh was also bare.
Flesh against flesh made Li Bin feel a cool, moist, soft, and comfortable sensation.
His sister-in-law Wen Lan's beautiful legs were truly fascinating!
These legs, Li Bin swore, he could play with them every day for a year and never get tired of them!
Wen Lan also seemed to feel Li Bin's leg against her own, and her face suddenly flushed a little, but she didn't feel uncomfortable.
She just thought it was unintentional on Li Bin's part and was too embarrassed to move away.
"Brother-in-law, I really envy you. You can make your hobby your profession and chase your dreams to your heart's content." Wen Lan looked at Li Bin with admiration.
Their eyes couldn't help but meet.
