“What are you looking at?!”

Ji Qingyan looked at the mirror opposite her and realized that Lin Yi was secretly looking at her. She waved her small fist and said,

“Are you peeking at my legs?”

“What are legs for if not for people to see?”

“Since you’re so busy, I’ll give you a little encouragement.”

As she spoke, she pulled up her silk pajamas.

She moved them slowly all the way up to her thighs, then she suddenly stopped.

“Alright, that’s enough. Work hard.”

Lin Yi smiled and didn’t say anything else. He continued working.

Moreover, Ji Qingyan did not pull her nightgown back down and openly exposed her fair thighs.

At around 11 p.m., when Lin Yi’s work was finally completed, he realized that Ji Qingyan had fallen asleep on the sofa with the report in her hand.

Because he was going to Yangcheng the next day, Lin Yi didn’t plan to stay up late.

Carrying Ji Qingyan in his arms, Lin Yi brought her to her private room in Jiuzhou Pavilion before returning to rest.

The next morning, when Ji Qingyan woke up, she took out the leftovers from the previous night and heated them up. This provided them an easy breakfast.

“What are your plans today? Will you be keeping busy at home or going to the hospital?”

“I’ll be going to Beiqiao Town later and check things out for the Hope School. There are some things that I have to prepare in advance.”

“Do you want Yuanyuan to go with you?”

“I can do it myself. It’s not a big deal. She has other missions at hand.”

Lin Yi felt that he was really too smart.

Fortunately, he had arranged a lot of work for her the day before. Otherwise, Ji Qingyan would have asked to go with him.

“Be careful. I’ll keep an eye on the house for you. Don’t worry.”

“Okay.”

With a simple goodbye, the two of them parted ways.

On the way to pick up Li Chuhan, Lin Yi decided to add a time management course to the nine-year compulsory education curriculum after building the Hope School. It was simply too important.

When Lin Yi arrived at Li Chuhan’s house, she was already waiting downstairs.

“Is this outfit okay?”

Li Chuhan was still wearing the white dress and skirt from the day before.

She wore it because Lin Yi said it looked good.

“Did you bring a change of clothes? I have something else to do. I’m not sure how long I’ll stay.”

“Then I’ll go back and get ready. Wait for me for a few minutes. It won’t be long.”

“Don’t bother. You won’t be able to catch the plane if we delay,” Lin Yi said.

“If you need something, just buy it there. Look, I didn’t bring anything myself.”

“Okay, I’ll do as you say.”

Li Chuhan nodded and got into the pa.s.senger seat. Then, the two of them drove to the airport.

Buzz buzz buzz!

Just as he was about to board the plane, Lin Yi’s phone rang.

Unexpectedly, it was a SMS message.

Lin Yi almost forgot about this ancient form of contact. Other than extremely outdated people and scam advertis.e.m.e.nts, not many people used this form of contact.

Wen Shu, “Mr. Lin, I’m Wen Shu. When will you arrive in Yangcheng?”

Seeing the message from Wen Shu, Lin Yi was a little surprised.

He had just casually mentioned this to Liang Ruoxu. He did not expect her to take it seriously.

Lin Yi, “At about 11:30.”

Wen Shu, “Alright, see you then.”

Wen Shu’s words were very formal and to the point. She had no intention of chatting with Lin Yi.

Lin Yi rubbed his chin. Was he so unattractive now?

A bachelor like him should be a favorite to those golddiggers.

After mulling it over, Lin Yi eventually stopped thinking about Wen Shu.

Compared to Li Chuhan, who was beside her, she was one level lower, let alone Ji Qingyan.

At 11:30 pm, the flight landed at Baiyun Airport right on time.

As soon as he walked out of the terminal, he saw Wen Shu.

Wen Shu was wearing a black one-piece suit with a pair of wide-legged pants. She had light makeup on and her hair was messy. She looked like an internet celebrity.

Even Lin Yi couldn’t connect her to the dignified host from yesterday.

At the same time, Wen Shu saw Lin Yi walking out of the terminal.

Wen Shu originally thought that Lin Yi had come alone, but she didn’t expect him to bring a woman with him.

Li Chuhan’s appearance and figure surprised Wen Shu greatly.

She really couldn’t think of a reason why such a beautiful woman would want to be with a pauper like Lin Yi.

He might not even be able to guarantee her the lowest quality of life.

“h.e.l.lo, Mr. Lin.”

Wen Shu smiled and nodded, then shook hands with Lin Yi.

“If this woman is following Mr. Lin, she must be your girlfriend.”

“I’m his friend, not his girlfriend,” Li Chuhan explained.

“I’m really sorry to have misunderstood your relationship,” Wen Shu said with a smile.

“It’s fine.”

Wen Shu did not ask about their relationship in detail.

Judging from their looks, they were undoubtedly lovers.

A person who could donate all his a.s.sets actually had the intention to find a lover. She had underestimated him.

“Mr. Lin, I’ve already booked a hotel to welcome you. Let’s go over first and deal with other matters after dinner.”

“Forget about the welcoming ceremony. I have an appointment with someone else for dinner, so I won’t make you spend any money.”

Wen Shu was happy to oblige. Skipping the meal would save her a lot of time and energy. This was killing two birds with one stone.

“Then let’s meet Secretary Wu in the afternoon and talk about this.” Wen Shu asked.

“There’s no need. I still have something to do. After I’m done, I’ll go straight to Beiqiao Town.”

With that, Lin Yi looked at Li Chuhan and said,

“The road to Beiqiao Town is not very good, right?”

“Mm.” Li Chuhan nodded. “It consists of almost three kilometers of dirt road. Fortunately, it hasn’t rained for the past few days, so we should be able to use it.”

“Then let’s go and buy a car. It won’t be convenient without one”

“Isn’t that a little too expensive?”

Li Chuhan knew that Lin Yi was rich. To him, buying a car might be as easy as going out for breakfast, so she didn’t object. This was just a consideration.

“Nah, we can buy one. It doesn’t cost much anyway.”

Wen Shu was a little puzzled and surprised by the conversation.

Didn’t he donate all his money and only have one Shari left?

How could he buy a car?

Even if he still had some savings, he shouldn’t squander it like this.

“Mr. Lin, are you sure you want to buy a car?” Wen Shu probed.

Lin Yi nodded affirmatively.

Although he had been outside all these years, he was still very familiar with Yangcheng.

“I remember there’s a Mercedes-Benz 4S shop nearby. Let’s go take a look.”

“Mer-Mercedes-Benz 4S? Does Mr. Lin want to go there?”

“Yeah.”

Lin Yi’s words made Wen Shu’s eyes drop again.

What was going on? Not only did he want to buy a car, but he even wanted to buy a Mercedes-Benz. The cheapest car cost nearly 300,000 yuan.

“There is indeed a Mercedes-Benz 4S shop nearby. I’ll take you there now.”

“Alright, thank you for your hard work.”

Coincidentally, Wen Shu’s car was a Mercedes-Benz C-Cla.s.s.

Although it was not expensive, it was suitable for a white-collar worker like her.

Along the way, Wen Shu acted generous and proper. She chatted with Lin Yi about Beiqiao Town and briefed him on the local situation.

During the entire conversation, Lin Yi realized that the golddigger aura on Wen Shu seemed to have faded a lot.

She gave off a very normal feeling, like a proud swan. While she was amiable, she maintained a slight distance. She controlled this dynamic very well.

Lin Yi rubbed his chin. Did he make a mistake?

That was impossible. After so many years of scrutinizing golddiggers, there had never been a time when he was wrong.
