Chapter 169 Stepping on the Fox's Tail 24 Bracelet

Lin Yuche always manages to bring surprises to Yun Chiyi.

He should have said earlier that he'd be drunk after just a few drinks, but he still tried to act tough.

His tall frame was incredibly heavy, and Yun Chiyi was almost knocked off her feet onto the road.

"You're all just causing trouble."

Lin Yuche raised his dazed eyes: "Yun Chiyi, I can do any job."

He was babbling incoherently, and he hugged her tighter and tighter, making it hard for Yun Chiyi to breathe. Yun Chiyi patted his back haphazardly to coax him.

"Okay, I understand. I know you have strength but nowhere to use it."

Yun Chiyi saw a taxi pass by, waved, and raised her voice: "Hey, taxi!"

The blue taxi slammed on the brakes. Yun Chiyi asked her older brother to help Lin Yuche into the back seat. After thinking about it, she realized they had both been drinking and couldn't drive, so she reluctantly bent down and got in as well.

Lin Yuche's expression was serious as he held her little finger.

Yun Chiyi couldn't help but chuckle and said to the front, "Driver, start the car."

It's 10:30 pm, and the weather is hot. Even though I've been drinking, I don't feel sleepy.

On the way home, Yun Chiyi was worried about how to get Lin Yuche out of the car. However, he got out of the car steadily and even opened the car door for Yun Chiyi.

After going upstairs, Lin Yuche went straight to his front door and quietly entered the password.

Yun Chiyi grabbed his sleeve: "Are you awake? Don't sneak out at night to do strange things, or I'll have to do emergency public relations for you."

Lin Yuche said slowly, "No."

He paused for a few seconds, then slowly said, "Wait for me tomorrow morning, I have something for you."

With Qi Shu gone, resources are all being allocated to him and Zhao Muqing. He will be busy for a while, as he will be going to other provinces for roadshows.

Yun Chiyi: "Then you should get up early, I'm going to Pilates practice tomorrow."

Lin Yuche nodded: "Okay."

As Yun Chiyi lay in bed that night, he was thinking about what he should give her, how he could tell her that he had hidden a mountain of gold, and that the two of them could rise to great heights together in the future.

The system rebuked: "How tacky! He wants to offer you the position of lifelong partner; the fox clan only recognizes one partner in their lifetime!"

Yun Chiyi retorted, "It's money, thank you."

After bickering for a while, Yun Chiyi got sleepy and slept soundly through the night. When she woke up, she stretched.

I slept so well.

I had just woken up when I heard someone knocking on the door.

It shouldn't be Lin Yuche, right? Doesn't he always walk through walls?

But who could this be?

Yun Chiyi put on her coat, opened the door with clear eyes, and was slightly surprised to see who it was: "You opened the door this time?"

Lin Yuche had dark circles under his eyes and pale lips: "Hold out your hand."

Yun Chiyi stretched out both hands forward, making a cupping motion.

Lin Yuche held her right hand, his long fingers encircling her fair wrist. Yun Chiyi felt a stinging sensation on her skin as a warm object encircled her wrist.

"What's this?"

Lin Yu-che said, "Wait a little longer, it's not on yet."

Yun Chiyi was completely confused and joked, "A talisman?"

Lin Yuche slowly nodded his chin, then released his hand. A bone bracelet, about the thickness of a thumb, was locked onto Yun Chiyi's wrist. The bones were interlocked one by one, connected end to end, with the end being thinner and slightly upturned, as cute as a cat's tail.

"You're quite pretty. Where are you from?" Yun Chiyi asked him with a smile, turning her forearm around.

Lin Yu-che simply said, "If you encounter danger, it will protect you."

Yun Chiyi squinted her eyes and teased him with a smile, "This is a good thing, what can I trade with you for it?"

Lin Yuche: "No need, I'll go take care of my work now."

Yun Chiyi said, "Aren't you going to eat breakfast?"

Lin Yuche asked her in return, "Do you want to eat?"

Yun Chi hesitated for a moment, then said, "I still can't eat."

Lin Yuche understood: "Then I won't eat it."

He was unusually sullen today. Yun Chiyi watched him enter the elevator and go back to wash up and change clothes.

After she finished exercising, she checked her phone and found that Lin Yuche had sent her a message.

There were several messages, one after another, which basically meant that we could schedule more activities for him.

Yun Chi clicked her tongue in amazement. Look at that ambition! Everyone in the company has that drive, so she doesn't need to worry about it.

Lin Yuche's thinking was rather simple. He just hoped to gain a foothold as soon as possible so that Yun Chiyi would no longer need to drink and apologize to others.

He wouldn't say this directly to Yun Chiyi.

Gradually, both of them became busy, and Yun Chiyi thought this was a good thing, because being busy meant making money.

The demonic poison in her body would flare up again. Once, when it flared up, she felt like she was dying. She shamelessly took a plane to find Lin Yuche and had a heart-to-heart talk with him all night. After only three sentences, she pulled Lin Yuche to sit on the bed.

Faced with Lin Yuche's aloof and indifferent expression, she suddenly realized that saving face was very important.

Sometimes, when the demonic poison flared up, she would impulsively make Lin Yuche come back overnight.

My emotions fluctuated repeatedly.

By the end of the year, a quick check of the calendar revealed that they had met three times in one month.

The system, itching for a laugh, teased her: "[Hehe, host, are you really unable to tolerate the demonic poison?]"

Yun Chiyi retorted, "That's right, I can't stand even the slightest thing! What do you know, you heartless wretch!"

Unable to win an argument with the host, he resorts to too many fallacies.

Yun Chiyi and the system were arguing fiercely when Yun Yizhou brought out a bowl of clear soup with egg noodles from the kitchen, placed it on the table, and tapped the table.

"Is the company doing too well lately? Why are you spacing out and grinning like an idiot?"

Cold and hungry, Yun Chiyi quickly drank some soup, then frowned slightly: "It's not as good as Mom's."

Yun Yizhou tapped her head with a rolled-up newspaper: "Stop being so picky."

Yun Chiyi sniffed: "Just telling the truth."

Yun Yizhou had been noticing the bone bracelet on her wrist and asked curiously, "Where did you buy this bracelet? I've noticed you've been wearing it all year."

The noodles were indeed not good. Yun Chiyi ate very slowly, and still had time to reply: "Lin Yuche gave them to me. He said they were a family heirloom and he only gave them to his daughter-in-law."

Yun Yizhou looked at her seriously.

Yun Chiyi shrugged and chuckled, "I was just kidding, but the bracelet really was a gift from him."

Yun Yizhou laughed angrily: "Why haven't I seen him lately? Is he very busy, or do you have other good friends?"

"This good friend is not that kind of good friend, is it?" Yun Chiyi continued to play dumb after hearing this: "We are still good friends who will never abandon each other."

"I don't want to banter with you anymore. It's almost Chinese New Year. If he has nowhere to go, let him come over for dinner."

After Yun Yizhou finished speaking, he buried his gaze behind the newspaper.

Yun Chiyi stretched out her arm and pulled down the newspaper: "What are you doing? Do you want him to become a live-in son-in-law?"

Yun Yizhou said with a serious expression: "It's just a meal. I heard that his net worth has increased recently. Your company relies on him for its livelihood. As a colleague and parent, you should thank him."

Yun Chi smiled and said, "It's alright. There's still room for improvement. Dad, you know that in this era of internet traffic, anyone can become famous as long as they have good looks, talent, and a little marketing."

Yun Yizhou sneered: "Still being modest."

Of course, Yun Chiyi's grand business plan has only just begun.

After finishing her noodles, Yun Chiyi put down her bowl, wiped her mouth, and prepared to leave.

Yun Yizhou asked, "Where are you going in this freezing weather? Aren't you staying here tonight?"

Yun Chiyi said, "I have something to do tonight, but I'll come over for lunch with you. We'll have New Year's Eve dinner in a few days, so we can get together again sometime."

She put on her coat and strolled leisurely to the door, then turned around casually: "By the way, I really need to take Lin Yuche home for New Year's Eve dinner. I'll prepare some light vegetables for him."

Yun Yizhou sighed inwardly, "A daughter is like a tree that cannot be kept at home once she grows up."

But if that kid wants to enter his house, he still needs to pass his test.

Yun Chiyi drove herself here today, mainly to make it easier to pick up Lin Yuche from the airport later.

Lin Yuche hadn't even boarded the plane yet; she had only been in the car for a short while when he called.

"Mr. Yun, the flight takes an hour. You can come over later if you're feeling slower."

Yun Chiyi turned on speakerphone: "It will take me more than one or two hours to drive there, so I can pick you up just in time."

Lin Yuche remained silent for a while.

Yun Chiyi said, "I have to go now, I need to drive."

Lin Yuche replied, "Mm."

He stared at his phone quietly, knowing that Yun Chiyi couldn't hang up immediately, so he just kept listening. The monster's hearing could detect even the faintest breathing sounds.

When Yun Chiyi realized that the airport announcement was coming from the receiver, she was taken aback: "Why haven't they hung up yet?"

Lin Yu-che said, "I didn't notice."

Yun Chiyi raised her hand and pressed the hang-up button, continuing to concentrate on driving.

It's snowing, and snowflakes are pattering against the windshield.

Yun Chiyi felt a little strange. Given Qi Shu's personality, he couldn't possibly have swallowed this bitter pill after being so badly injured that day.

If you do the math, more than half a year has passed outside, and he's been recuperating for more than half a day, so why haven't we heard any news from him yet?

The system said: "[Such severe injuries can't be healed in half a day! An ordinary powerful demon would have been dead long ago! Its demon core would have been reduced to ashes! Don't underestimate our villainous male supporting character!]"

Why are you yelling so loudly!

Yun Chiyi had long forgotten that Lin Yuche was the villain.

Reminded by the system, she suddenly remembered to ask the system to check the favorability rating.

Even if righteousness and benevolence fail, business will continue.

They had shared a bed so many times; she couldn't believe his heart was still as cold as iron.

System: [To be honest, I haven't been looking at it lately either. Let me check.]

The system gasped upon seeing this: [Host!]

Yun Chiyi pursed her lips. What a low number it was that surprised the system to this extent.

The system laughed out loud: [86! Looks like you've slept with Lin Yuche.]

Wow, that's so high!

It's hard to say about other things, but going from -100 to 86 is incredibly rewarding.

You wouldn't guess it at all. Every time Lin Yuche sees her, he's cold, calm, and nonchalant, as if he's about to become a monk.

Yun Chi smiled, thinking she would tease him when they met later.

Upon arriving at the airport's underground parking lot, Yun Chiyi listened to a song in the car. Lin Yuche, dressed in a black coat, wearing a mask and a wide-brimmed hat, slowly walked out from behind the crowd, opened the car door, and got in.

He's wrapped up like that, you really wouldn't recognize him if you didn't look closely.

But he was tall and slender, which made him stand out, and quite a few people had already noticed him.

Yun Chiyi started first, and then slowly began to speak.

However, Lin Yuche took off his mask and spoke faster: "Are you cold?"

Yun Chiyi suppressed a laugh: "I'm not cold with you by my side."

Lin Yuche: "..."
