"Yes, I originally thought the Li family were just a bunch of nouveau riche, who could easily pry open their money bags. But now it seems I was wrong. How should I put it... this method is quite advantageous to the Li family, and it does indeed avoid the risk of loss."
Ning Zheyuan scratched his head and clicked his tongue: "I've been worried about this for the past few days. My purpose in approaching the Li family wasn't pure. I didn't have any good intentions. I was just thinking of extorting money and running away. Now, if I accept their offer, I won't be able to escape anytime soon."
"Moreover, if something happens to the Li family during this period, the Yan Yun Gang certainly cannot sit idly by."
This was the first time Ning Zheyuan had witnessed Li Junyang's difficult nature. Giving away shares was only considered a good thing by genuine business partners, but for someone like them who hadn't come with good intentions from the start...
It's a bit of an uncomfortable situation, neither here nor there.
"What are you afraid of? It's only for a while, can't you wait?"
Xia Che glanced at it and said, "It's just right that we need to remain unchanged for now. You should focus on working for the Li family for a while, and we'll talk about it after the land is built and we get the money."
"Besides, you don't need to do anything. To put it bluntly, the Li family just paid you to be their protector. You only need to step in when necessary. Otherwise... why do you care whether the Li family lives or dies? Just do what you need to do."
Xia Che waved his hand. It's not like he's turning Ning Zheyuan into a worker for the Li family. The protective umbrella is for critical moments, not for ordinary times.
Ning Zheyuan thought about it and realized it made sense. He didn't need to clock in at the Li family's place. The purpose of the protective umbrella was to step in and protect the Li family at critical moments. Such accidents couldn't happen every day. Maybe there wouldn't be even one before the land was built.
"Also, if Li Junyang tries to harm me again, follow the original plan, tell me in advance, and then take this opportunity to ruthlessly exploit the Li family."
Xia Che knew Li Junyang too well. Such a narrow-minded person would not leave the Yan Yun Gang, such a powerful weapon, unused.
But if he uses it, he will have to pay a price.
That was their plan: slowly... little by little, to suck the blood out of the Li family until they were completely drained.
"Understood."
Ning Zheyuan's eyes lit up immediately. He wasn't a good person to begin with, and he only cared about the young master. Now that he had the young master's support, Ning Zheyuan instantly thought of many ways to leech off the Li family.
After resolving Ning Zheyuan's confusion, he seemed much more relaxed. The two chatted casually for a while until Xia Che felt a little sleepy, at which point Ning Zheyuan took his leave.
After seeing Ning Zheyuan off, Xia Che gently closed the front door, stepped from the entryway into the living room, rubbed his now empty stomach, and called out, "Hey, do you have any more snacks? I'm hungry..."
It's already too late, and the little bit of food he ate for dinner has long been digested. Xia Che feels like he could eat a whole cow in one go.
The little ghost did not respond; apart from the faint sound coming from the television, all was quiet.
"Chu Yuying?"
Xia Che was a little surprised. He looked up at the clock on the wall and realized that it was already past 2 a.m. He couldn't help but click his tongue. Had they been chatting for so long?
The evening news had already finished airing on TV, and they started showing some old movies from that era.
Xia Che walked over and found that Chu Yuying had wrapped herself in her pajamas. The long, golden hood of the pajamas covered most of her face, leaving only her smooth and delicate chin exposed.
She lay on her side on the sofa, curled up in a ball, purring softly like a kitten.
"So she was asleep..."
Xia Che scratched his head, then suddenly felt a cool breeze and couldn't help but sneeze.
I rubbed my nose, quickly walked to the window and closed it, and then I felt much better.
I was so focused on the discussion that I didn't notice how much the temperature had dropped compared to before.
Autumn is almost here...
Xia Che felt somewhat disappointed.
He suddenly wasn't very hungry anymore.
He sat down on the sofa again and turned to look at Chu Yuying, who was sleeping. She seemed a little cold, curled up, her small feet in white socks slightly grasping at something, as if she was trying to find a source of warmth in her sleep.
Despite wearing a golden retriever pajama set, she gave Xia Che the illusion of being a hibernating bear.
For no apparent reason, Xia Che's lips unconsciously curled up into a smile.
Can a little devil like that have such a cute side?
Maybe.
Even if she's a little devil, at least at this moment, she's adorable.
Xia Che did not choose to wake Chu Yuying and let her go back to her room to sleep. He did not want to break this brief moment of quiet beauty. Xia Che bent down, gently slipped his arm through her smooth white hair and the back of her legs, and then with a little effort, picked up the girl who was as light as a feather.
Um……
A very typical princess carry.
Sensing the delicate fragrance that reached his nose, Xia Che slightly rolled his eyes, thinking to himself that the girl did indeed have a fragrance, just as the internet had described.
It's strange, we're all human, so why don't men have a fragrance?
Xia Che shook his head, turned and walked towards Chu Yuying's room. He gently pushed the door open with his body, then went in and carefully placed Chu Yuying on the bed. He pulled the folded quilt from the foot of the bed and covered her with it.
Xia Che's movements were very gentle, and he did not wake Chu Yuying from beginning to end. As if sensing that the temperature was gradually warming up, Chu Yuying stopped curling up and turned over comfortably, letting out a soft purr, like a kitten.
"...So cute."
Realizing his slip of the tongue, Xia Che coughed lightly, feeling his cheeks burning. He quickly closed the window and left the room.
We cannot waver!
I must never waver!
Own……
They must have been bewitched!
Is this also part of your plan? Unbelievable...
After closing the door, Xia Che leaned against the wall, raised his hand and patted his face, only to find it burning hot.
"Don't forget, she drained my wallet dry today! She's a vicious beast, a greedy monster!"
Xia Che kept trying to calm himself down, and finally felt his wildly beating heart gradually calm down and the heat on his face subside. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.
Thinking that little female devils are cute...
That's really terrifying.
Xia Che, who was leaving in a hurry, did not notice that the petite figure, whom he thought had fallen asleep, suddenly raised the corners of her mouth and smiled gently.
Like a ripple, it spread across the entire pool of spring water.
Chu Yuying curled up in bed, burying her head in the blankets, and let out a long, comfortable sigh, murmuring, "What an idiot..."
Although she's a bit clumsy, she's gentle enough.
Who would have thought that the usually fierce blond guy would have such a gentle side?
How should I put it...
Surprisingly, I don't dislike it; in fact, I kind of like it.
No, I should say...
"I love it."
A shy, soft voice emerged from under the covers, drifting gently through the warm little room.
