Behind Ji Huaizhi was a golden afterglow, which cast a thin halo on his hair and body. His sparkling peach blossom eyes looked over, affectionate and cold.

He nodded: "Yeah, I'm back."

The aroma of food filled the yard, and in front of him was a little girl talking and laughing. It was a warm feeling that he had not felt for a long time.

He glanced towards the kitchen and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

Li Yang took the wrapped clothes from his hand and said, "You must be hungry. I did it..."

With a click, a large pile of money fell down and scattered the moment it hit the ground. There were hundreds of dollars, fifty dollars, ten dollars, and a few dimes. The red and green colors dazzled Li Yang's eyes. She subconsciously covered herself with the clothes in her hand, and then looked at Ji Huaizhi with surprise and worry.

Ji Huaizhi: "..."

Who told him that a woman would be overjoyed when a man brought home money? Why wasn't this the case with his family?

He squatted down and pulled Li Yang up: "What are you afraid of?"

The man's cold eyes made Li Yang afraid to tell the truth, so he could only say, "I've never seen so much money."

She didn't lie when she said this. In her previous life, she had never seen so much money. She really couldn't imagine how Ji Huaizhi could get back so much money in just one afternoon.

A hint of a smile appeared on Ji Huaizhi's lips: "You'll get used to it after a few times."

He picked up the money on the ground, put it in his pocket, and put it in Li Yang's hand: "Buy whatever you like, don't worry about the money."

Li Yang held the heavy money in her hands, thinking that it was at least three thousand yuan, which was enough for an average family's expenses for two or three years. She was used to being frugal and really didn't know what it felt like to buy whatever she liked.

Then she changed her mind and realized that as someone who aspires to be the boss's younger brother... younger sister, her standards of conduct must be different from before, otherwise she would bring shame to the boss.

So she nodded very seriously: "I understand, I will use this money well."

She would make Ji Huaizhi look glamorous and more charming than a peacock spreading its tail feathers, so as to show his bossy qualities.

Ji Huaizhi looked at the little girl's bright eyes, which were flashing with a cunning light that he couldn't understand. Goose bumps stood up on his body for no reason, as if the soft and cute little rabbit he raised had suddenly turned into a little fox with fangs showing.

Ji Huaizhi shook his head, shaking off the ridiculous thoughts in his mind, and replied, "Well, I understand."

Ji Huaizhi helped Li Yang bring the dishes to the table and served rice to each of them. As soon as they sat down, they saw the little girl transfer half of the rice from her bowl to her own.

Li Yang said, "I can't eat that much."

People in Guangzhou have always been particular and elegant about their meals, and they mostly use small bowls. The bowls used in Ji Huaizhi's family are almost the size of a palm, which is a bit too big for Li Yang's current appetite.

Hearing this, Ji Huaizhi looked at the little girl's slender wrist, and his handsome eyebrows wrinkled slightly: "You are too thin, you need to eat more."

After that, he pushed some of the rice in the bowl back to Li Yang: "Eat first, we'll talk if you can't finish it."

Li Yang looked at the white rice in the bowl, his eyes feeling a little warm.

When she was in school, she had a big appetite and would eat two or three bowls of rice in one meal to feel full. But Feng Mei said, "It's ridiculous for a girl to eat so much. Are you a reincarnated ghost who died of starvation? You don't know how expensive rice is now! Eat less and leave some for your father and your brother."

As a result, Li Yang was forced to reduce her rice intake from two or three bowls to one, and then to half a bowl. At that time, she was in the growth phase, and the teenage girl couldn't bear the hunger and could only drink water continuously. Once, she was sent to the hospital due to water poisoning. Feng Mei not only didn't blame herself at all, but scolded her: "You don't know how to eat when you're hungry? What's the point of drinking so much water? I couldn't bear to go to the hospital even when I had a fever, how much money are you going to cost me!"

Putting his thoughts aside, Li Yang picked up the bowl and smiled, "Okay."

The dishes on the table were still steaming. The two sat facing each other. Ji Huaizhi ate the dishes while sipping the wine he hadn't finished. Li Yang lowered his head and ate his meal obediently. The atmosphere seemed very harmonious.

Suddenly, two pieces of brown chicken thigh meat appeared in Li Yang's bowl. She subconsciously wanted to refuse, but then she heard Ji Huaizhi say calmly, "You don't need to be restrained here. Just be yourself happily. I told you that I will double compensate you for everything that your family has lost."

The man's eyebrows were very light, and no emotion could be seen in his cold peach blossom eyes. He was like the snow on the horizon that could never be touched, indifferent and distant, but also treating you well just right.

In her two lifetimes, no one had ever been so kind to her except Li Xue, and she had forgotten what it felt like to be herself.

She thought, he is really very good.

Li Yang's heart was suddenly moved and overwhelmed. She poured herself a glass of wine and toasted to Ji Huaizhi: "Brother, I really can't repay your kindness to me. I'm putting this on hold today. From now on, I will be at your service without hesitation. If you ever need me, just let me know!"

After saying that, he raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp.

Ji Huaizhi looked at the heroic Li Yang, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

The wine was bought by Chen Gang. It didn't feel strong when it first went down his throat, but it would gradually make him feel drunk.

She had clearly intended to pick up a little girl and take her home to raise as a younger sister, but now she's got a younger brother? When she gets drunk, she's not going to want to fly to heaven, is she?
