After hearing this, Wang Chengkai's mind went blank, and he almost lost his balance.

His eyes widened, his face filled with shock.

"Twenty-seven million? What kind of monster is that?"

Her mind was instantly in turmoil. She had originally been thinking about how to find an opportunity to deal with Lin Yuan, but now she just wanted to quickly mend her relationship with him.

He racked his brains for a solution, then suddenly his eyes lit up, and he patted his head.

"Thank goodness we didn't fall out on the spot. Oh, right! My sister is so beautiful, how come I didn't think of that? Why don't I introduce her to Lin Yuan? Maybe we can turn hostility into friendship!"

Thinking of this, Wang Chengkai raised his already somewhat long and narrow face, a sly smile appearing on his lips.

His narrow eyes narrowed, gleaming with calculation.

Hmph, Lin Yuan, just you wait and see, my sister is a great beauty!

Once you two get together, I'll take advantage of the situation and make Shen Mengyao completely change her opinion of me. I will no longer be someone who can be easily ignored!

At this moment, the warm sunlight, like golden threads, poured down through the gaps in the dense leaves, illuminating the winding path and forming a patchwork of light of various shapes and colors, like an abstract painting created by nature.

The park was filled with a faint, delicate floral fragrance, which drifted gently on the breeze, making people feel refreshed and relaxed.

Occasionally, a few clear and melodious birdsongs drift from the distant branches, like a beautiful symphony played by nature, making this place even more peaceful and serene.

Amidst this picturesque scenery, Lin Yuan was leisurely strolling around.

In Shen Mengyao's eyes, Lin Yuan exuded a unique charm.

His calm demeanor, in particular, gives people a sense of authority without needing to be angry.

No matter what situation he faces, he remains calm and composed.

His deep eyes revealed a wealth of confidence and composure, as if he had everything in the world under his control.

Shen Mengyao walks side by side with Lin Yuan.

At this moment, Shen Mengyao would occasionally steal glances at Lin Yuan beside her out of the corner of her eye.

Whenever their eyes meet, shyness and trepidation unconsciously show in their eyes.

Although she already knew that Lin Yuan's identity was extraordinary.

But she still felt lost and helpless about how to approach this seemingly unattainable man.

Therefore, she could only observe Lin Yuan's every move cautiously, trying to find some clues that could bring them closer.

"Hey, it's so hot."

Lin Yuan wiped the sweat from his forehead and casually said, "There's an ice cream stand up ahead, want one?"

Shen Mengyao's heart trembled slightly upon hearing this.

She thought Lin Yuan wanted ice cream, so she immediately stopped, took out her wallet from her bag, and hurriedly ran towards the shopping cart.

Their actions were swift and decisive, completely unaware that Lin Yuan had only asked casually.

"Boss, two ice creams, one original and one chocolate!"

Shen Mengyao's voice was clear and loud, attracting everyone around her to take a second look.

Lin Yuan stood quietly in place, his gaze gentle and focused on the busy figure not far away.

She was seen weaving through the crowd.

Looking at her petite yet agile figure, Lin Yuan couldn't help but smile slightly, a faint smile quietly appearing on his face.

At that moment, Shen Mengyao bought two ice creams without hesitation and quickly ran back to her side.

He suddenly realized that Shen Mengyao was probably a Scorpio!

It is well known that Scorpios typically possess extraordinary and powerful execution abilities, and this is likely why.

She had only asked the question casually, yet she had acted so swiftly and decisively.

Before long, Shen Mengyao arrived in front of Lin Yuan. She stopped and took a few breaths.

Then a smile bloomed on her pretty face, and she said in a sweet voice, "Here, this is for you, the original flavor, is that okay?"

Lin Yuan hurriedly reached out and took the ice cream, but when he saw what it was, he was both amused and exasperated.

He stared helplessly at Shen Mengyao in front of him.

"Oh dear, have you misunderstood something? I was just asking you, I didn't mean to say I had such thoughts."

Upon hearing this, Shen Mengyao's originally fair face instantly flushed crimson.

Her beautiful eyes revealed a barely perceptible panic.

Shen Mengyao stammered as she explained, "Um... I thought you wanted one too, so I bought an extra one. Or, would you like the chocolate flavor?"

Lin Yuan couldn't help but laugh when he saw her embarrassed look.

"Okay, don't be nervous, I was just teasing you. Thanks!"

The two strolled along the path while eating ice cream.

Sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves, casting dappled patterns of light on them.

Lin Yuan casually asked, "By the way, what's your zodiac sign?"

"Scorpio".

Shen Mengyao blushed and answered softly, her shy appearance as beautiful and charming as a flower blooming in spring.

No wonder, everyone says Scorpios have exceptional execution skills, and it's truly well-deserved.

At this moment, Shen Mengyao took a small bite of the original flavor ice cream in her hand. The delicate texture and sweet taste spread on her tongue, but her mind was not on this delicious treat at all.

In fact, from the very beginning when she first met Lin Yuan, she was filled with trepidation and unease.
