Thinking of this, Liang Ruoxu sent a laughing emoji over.

Liang Ruoxu said, “Alright, what are we betting on?’1

Lin Yi, ’Til bet for the underwear you’re wearing. Give me a set if you lose.”

Liang Ruoxu, “Tsk, what if you lose?”

Lin Yi, “It’s mutual.”

Liang Ruoxu said, “Alright, I’ll make a bet with you. The loser can forget about wearing their underwear today.”

Liang Ruoxu snickered. Why would she play such a stupid game with Lin Yi?

So what if he lost? So what if he won? Who would know if she actually took off her underwear or not?

Liang Ruoxu asked, “How do you want to do this? I can take a video, will this prove it to you?”

Liang Ruoxu was ready to leave. If Lin Yi agreed, she would go back to his office.

Although the game was a little r.e.t.a.r.ded, she enjoyed it.

Lin Yi said, “There’s no need for a video call, fust turn around.11

“Turn around?”

Muttering to himself, Liang Ruoxu suddenly realized that Lin Yi was behind her!

And then…

She was stunned!

“Why are you here?”

“I had nothing to do, so I came to visit.” Lin Yi said.

“But didn’t someone say that she won’t eat when she is losing weight? Why is she here to get food?”

Liang Ruoxu looked embarra.s.sed, feeling like he had been caught red-handed. She wished he could find a hole to hide in.

“You seem to have lost.” Lin Yi pretended to be calm.

“But this is a public place. We ll talk about the bet when we get back to your office.”

“Don’t talk nonsense!”

Lin Yi smiled and held Liang Ruoxu’s shoulder, whispering, Help me get some too. 1’11 wait for you in the office.”

There were more people here, and Liang Ruoxu was too embarra.s.sed to let Lin Yi show himself here, so she tacitly allowed him to go to her office.

Not long after arriving at the office, Liang Ruoxu returned with the food she had collected.

“Why is there only one plate?”

“I told you, I’m not eating today,” Liang Ruoxu said, pretending to be tough.

“If you don’t want to eat, why were you going to rhe cafeteria?”

“I was going get some fruit.”

“Where’s the fruit?”

“I didn’t feel like eating when 1 saw you.”

Lin Yi brought the rice Liang Ruoxu brought back to him and ate it in big mouthfuls.

“It doesn’t matter if you ate or not, but our bet should still be in effect. Since there’s no one in rhe office, let’s start now.”

Liang Ruoxu looked embarra.s.sed. “I didn’t eat anything. Why have 1 lost?”

“I thought you went to get food.”

“I didn’t eat the food, so I didn’t lose.”

“You’re being a rascal.”

“I didn’t eat anything. You can think of it whatever way you want.”

Liang Ruoxu held her head high and refused to admit it.

“Alright, stop pretending. You must be hungry.”

Lin Yi picked up a mouthful of food and brought it to Liang Ruoxu’s mouth.

“Have a bite.”

Faced with such an intimate action, Liang Ruoxu could not resist it and opened her mouth to eat it in embarra.s.sment.

“Now that you’ve eaten, you have to keep your promise.”

“Lin Yi, I’ll strangle you to death!”

Lin Yi chuckled. “Calm down, I was just joking.”

With that, Lin Yi handed the spare chopsticks to Liang Ruoxu.

“It’s too much, i can’t eat it all. Let’s eat together.11

“Tsk, I’m not touching anything in your bowl.”

“Why? Do you think it’s dirty?”

“As long as you know.”

“You’ve already eaten my brother, and you still think this is dirty? It doesn’t make sense.”

“I really want to strangle you to death! Don’t mention that!”

“Alright, alright, alright. Let’s not talk about that,” Lin Yi said. ’ Let’s not go on about the underwear either. Let’s eat.”

Seeing that Lin Yi had given in, Liang Ruoxu picked up her chopsticks and started eating.

“Did you come here at this time to look for me for something?”

“I’m here to report to Secretary Liang.”

“Judging from the way you speak, 1 know that you’re up to no good.” Liang

Ruoxu changed his posture. ’’Tell me, what’s the matter?”

“I came to send some gifts to Secretary Liang.”

Lin Yi pushed a long box towards Liang Ruoxu.

“What things?”

“Let’s see.”

She gently opened the box and found a necklace embedded with blue diamonds.

“You’re using sugarcoated words to trick me again,” Liang Ruoxu said.

“I’m not sensitive to this stuff.”

“If you don’t like it, you can return it to my mother.”

Liang Ruoxu was stunned as she held her chopsticks in her mouth.

“What did you say? Return it? Return it to who?”

“My mother.”

“Stop lying to me.’’ Liang Ruoxu rolled her eyes at Lin Yi. “Mother w.a.n.g has always stayed in the orphanage. How could she buy this for me?”

Although he had never met w.a.n.g Cuiping and Zhao Quanfu, Liang Ruoxu knew a little about the orphanage.

w.a.n.g Cuiping was just an ordinary middle-aged woman. If she wanted to buy herself a gold necklace, it would be down to pure luck. How could she buy a blue diamond necklace for her?

“I don’t have only one mother.”

“There’s more than one… eh?”

Liang Ruoxu suddenly widened his eyes as if he had thought of something.

“You mean Auntie Qin?”

“Otherwise, am I supposed to go out and look for another mother to acknowledge?” Lin Yi said.

“Today it just arrived at Zhonghai, and I immediately brought it over to you.”

“Didn’t Auntie Qin return to Doora?”

“I met her a few days ago when I was traveling in Doora.”

Liang Ruoxu was stunned for a while. She felt that this was a little coincidental. They had actually b.u.mped into each other on a trip?

“So she bought this for me?”

“That’s for sure, but you don’t seem to like it very much. I’d better return it to her.”

“Give it back!”

Liang Ruoxu s.n.a.t.c.hed the necklace back. Although it was just a necklace, the meaning was different. She definitely couldn’t let Lin Yi take it back.

Seeing how protective Liang Ruoxu was of her food, Lin Yi smiled.

“I think the design of the necklace suits your temperament. It will definitely look good on you.”

“Hmph, at least you know how to talk.”

Although the necklace was valuable, Liang Ruoxu was not interested in the price.

With the wealth that the Liang Family had acc.u.mulated, they could easily buy a hundred of them.

The special thing was that Qin Yingyue had given it to her. Now, it had an extraordinary meaning.

“You came here today to give me the necklace?”

“Fresh and hot.”

Lin Yi didn’t mention what happened at the customs, if Liang Ruoxu found out that there were three necklaces in total, but he only gave her one, things wouldn’t be easy.

Although the mission would not fail completely, he still had to try his best to avoid such a thing.

“At least you have a conscience.”

“By the way, do you know about the situation in Dongsan County?” Lin Yi asked casually.

“Thanks to your involvement, that place is becoming quite popular. Many factories are relocating there, and I heard that there will be some favorable policies coming from higher up. You’ve truly done a good deed. It won’t be long before we achieve our poverty alleviation goals.”

Lin Yi nodded. Since Liang Ruoxu said this, it was probably going to happen soon.

Poverty eradication in rhe county would probably only be announced in the second half of the year.

However, this was a mission issued by the system. When it was completed did not depend on the review indicators at the national level. As long as the statistics met the requirements, it would naturally be completed.

Ring ring ring!

At this moment, Lin Yi’s phone rang. It was a call from Qi Xianzhao.

“President Lin, the batch that was shipped over from Bazil met some problems

at the Panem Ca.n.a.l. They won’t let us go through..”
