He went bankrupt?!
Shen Zhiyi stood there, stunned.
Li Yunqian smiled slightly, took out a hot drink from the paper bag, grabbed her hands and made her hold them, "You've been soaking in the water for so long, drink some to warm yourself up."
The warm touch spread comfortably from my palm throughout my body.
Shen Zhiyi snapped out of her daze and looked down.
It's brown sugar ginger tea.
She watched as he knelt down on one knee in front of her, took her ankle, took out a towel, and carefully wiped the blue paint off her calf.
Li Yunqian's fingers were long and slender; with a gentle grip, he could hold her well-proportioned calf in his palm.
He moved gently.
It was as if they were treating it as some rare treasure.
With calloused palms and fingertips, pinching her delicate skin, kneading and pressing in circles, easily sending a jolt of electricity through her.
Shen Zhiyi's face flushed, and she shifted her position, instinctively wanting to pull her foot back.
Li Yunqian suddenly tightened his grip, holding her firmly like an iron clamp, not allowing her to escape.
"Don't move."
He paused, his voice slightly hoarse.
Shen Zhiyi saw the rise and fall of his shoulders and back under his suit, bit her lip, and gripped her hot drink tightly.
There are still people here...
She lowered her head somewhat embarrassedly, avoiding the occasional curious glances from the staff members in the distance.
Li Yunqian ignored the stares of those around him.
He stared at her bare feet, at her slightly tense arches and insteps, his gaze suddenly deepening, and his Adam's apple bobbed almost imperceptibly.
He narrowed his gaze and lifted his eyelids to look at her.
"Does what Xiaoguai said still stand?"
"...What did you say?" Shen Zhiyi was still a little confused, and even thought that his mention of bankruptcy was a joke.
Li Yunqian ran his fingertips up her calf and said in a hoarse voice:
"You said you wanted to thank me and repay me."
Shen Zhiyi was stunned for a moment.
“…Hmm.” She didn’t seem to have mentioned repaying her.
But since he had already spoken, there was no reason for me to refuse.
After all, he used to be really good to her.
It could even be described as "indulgence".
“Since that’s the case…” Li Yunqian lowered his eyelashes, concealing the fleeting dark light in his eyes, and straightened up, saying, “It takes a thousand days to train an army for one day to use it. Shen Zhiyi, it’s time for you to make your mark.”
"Now, it's your turn to take care of me."
Shen Zhiyi was startled for a moment, and almost spilled the ginger tea in her hand.
"What?"
She thought she'd misheard, "You...you're really bankrupt?!"
"Hmm." Li Yunqian said calmly, "The investment failed, the leverage was too high, and I can't repay it."
"After tomorrow, all assets will be mortgaged."
He paused for a moment, then said, "I just did an exclusive interview, and you'll see me on the news tomorrow."
He opened his phone and showed her a video.
“After you left the villa today, someone went over to move your things.”
Shen Zhiyi watched the person in the video as Li Yunqian and a suitcase were "thrown" out of the villa.
Those valuable items were loaded onto the truck one by one, and no one knows where they were taken.
She was horrified.
Only then did he learn what had happened to him after she left.
Li Yunqian keenly caught the fleeting sympathy in her eyes, softened his tone, and said, "Over the years, I have offended many people. They wish they could devour me whole and leave me no way out."
“Shen Zhiyi, I have nowhere to go.”
Shen Zhiyi stared at him blankly, "How could this be..."
"Don't you have any money left?"
Li Yunqian took out a card from his pocket and said with a wry smile, "I still have some basic living expenses left. If I eat plain porridge and side dishes every day, it should last for two or three months."
Shen Zhiyi opened her lips.
He was always very particular about what he ate and used.
How could we have fallen so low...?
Li Yunqian took the hot drink from her hand and stuffed the card into her hand, "All my wealth is yours, my little darling, will you support me?"
"You're all I have left."
His features were sharp and aggressive.
But at this moment, his expression softened, and he looked at her pitifully.
This was the first time she had ever seen him with that expression.
Shen Zhiyi felt a mix of emotions.
She thought of all the expensive luxury goods he had given her at home; even just selling a few of them would be hundreds or thousands of times better than the balance on his card.
She pulled the towel tighter.
Even though she was the one who went into the water, for some reason, she felt that Li Yunqian in front of her was more like the person who had been drenched by the storm.
“If you come with me, you won’t be able to eat properly…” she lowered her eyelashes and whispered, “I’m just a third-rate celebrity, I don’t have much money.”
She seriously started to plan for him, "Why don't you go find a rich woman?"
“You’re so handsome, and in that aspect, too…” She glanced at him, blushing, and said, “You’re also different from ordinary people.”
"You can live a good life with any rich woman you choose."
"At least, it's better than following me."
Li Yunqian: ...
He almost laughed out of anger.
"Is Xiaoguai praising me?" He pinched the bridge of his nose, took a step forward, and lowered his posture, saying, "Since I'm so good, why don't you want me?"
"Why did you dump me on other women, letting them humiliate and toy with me?"
Shen Zhiyi was stunned.
That's not what she meant at all!
A faint redness spread across the corners of Li Yunqian's eyes, and his voice became hoarse, "I don't need to eat a lot, just enough to fill my stomach."
"I won't cause you any trouble."
"Or do you really hate me that much that you won't even take me in?"
Shen Zhiyi felt as if an invisible hand had squeezed her heart tightly.
