6: Chapter 6 Sun Yiyao: He's practically the perfect boyfriend

Zhang Qi watched Sun Yiyao's back as she walked into the kitchen. Before he could speak, the system's notification sound rang in his mind.

"Ding! Detected that the host has spent 6,100 yuan on himself, meeting the requirements for cashback."

"Double cashback triggered. 12,200 yuan has been transferred to the savings card ending in 9527. The source of funds is absolutely safe; please feel free to use it."

"Current cumulative consumption amount: 7,424 yuan."

Buzz. His phone vibrated once.

Zhang Qi opened the text message, which displayed the bank's deposit notification: "Your savings card account ending in 9527 received a deposit of 12,200.00 RMB at 18:15. Current balance: 12,469.50 RMB."

Looking at these numbers, Zhang Qi felt even more confident.

He raised his head and called out toward the kitchen.

"Yiyao, don't bother. I'll just order takeout."

He knew better than anyone what kind of junk was in the fridge in this house.

In the past, Sun Qianwen had never even stepped foot in the kitchen. Inside, apart from a few wilted vegetables, there were only frozen dumplings that had been sitting there for half a month.

Previously, the bulk of the money he earned went toward buying bags and cosmetics for Sun Qianwen, and he rarely even allowed himself to eat a decent meal.

Now that his pockets weren't empty and he had the system to back him up, he naturally couldn't mistreat his own stomach anymore.

Sun Yiyao leaned half her body out of the kitchen, holding a box of rock-hard frozen dumplings in her hand.

"Alright, Brother Qi."

She didn't actually know how to cook any major dishes and usually just threw something together herself. Since Zhang Qi suggested ordering takeout, she was naturally happy to take it easy.

She shoved the dumplings back into the fridge, washed her hands, walked back to the living room, and sat down on the sofa.

Zhang Qi ignored her and lowered his head to open the food delivery app.

He skipped past the cheap fast-food places he usually ate at and clicked into a high-end fusion restaurant he never dared to even look at before.

One order of Boston lobster baked with black truffle, one order of pan-seared French foie gras, and two orders of caviar seafood fried rice.

Including delivery fees, it came to a total of 2,100 yuan.

He clicked pay without batting an eye.

"Ding! Detected that the host has spent 2,100 yuan on himself, meeting the requirements for cashback."

"Double cashback triggered. 4,200 yuan has been transferred to the savings card ending in 9527."

"Current cumulative consumption amount: 9,524 yuan."

His phone vibrated again, and his bank card balance became 14,569.50 yuan.

Awesome.

Zhang Qi put down his phone, his gaze falling involuntarily onto Sun Yiyao, who was sitting nearby.

She sat up straight with her legs together, the lines of her calves, wrapped in black silk stockings, looking shapely and firm. Her hands were placed somewhat restrainedly on her knees.

Zhang Qi couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

His mindset had truly changed.

If this were in the past, he would have definitely leaned over and carefully asked Sun Yiyao what she wanted to eat and if she had any dietary restrictions.

Even if she ordered the dish he hated most, he would have placed the order without hesitation and then finished it with a smile on his face.

To put it nicely, that was gentlemanly conduct; to put it bluntly, it was being a hopeless simp.

Thinking back on it now, he really had been a complete idiot.

Not long after, there was a knock at the door.

The local delivery service was fast, and the 6,000-yuan bottle of red wine arrived first.

Sun Yiyao immediately entered work mode, took the wine, and skillfully unwrapped the packaging.

She took out the waiter's corkscrew she carried with her from her bag and elegantly pulled out the cork.

The deep red wine flowed from the bottle neck and slowly poured into the included crystal decanter. A rich fruity aroma, accompanied by the scent of oak barrels, instantly filled the living room.

The way this woman worked was truly a sight to behold.

Another ten minutes or so passed, and the takeout arrived as well.

Sun Yiyao proactively ran to open the door and took the heavy, exquisitely packaged insulated food containers from the delivery courier.

Although she didn't know what Zhang Qi had ordered, just looking at the texture of the packaging and the conspicuous restaurant logo, she knew it definitely wouldn't be cheap.

She secretly clicked her tongue in surprise.

Between the 6,000-plus yuan red wine and the high-end takeout, had Brother Qi struck it rich recently?

But her cousin had clearly said he was just an ordinary wage slave.

Sun Yiyao carefully placed the food containers on the dining table and lifted the lids one by one.

Steaming hot black truffle lobster, plump and tempting pan-seared foie gras, and caviar fried rice emitting a peculiar fragrance.

The rich aroma hit her directly.

Sun Yiyao instinctively swallowed her saliva.

She had been in sales for so long and had always lived frugally; where would she have ever eaten something so luxurious?

Today, not only did she get to stay in Zhang Qi's house for free and secure her job by closing a deal, but now he was even treating her to such an expensive feast.

An unspeakable sense of guilt and gratitude suddenly welled up in her heart.

Immediately after, an uncontrollable thought emerged from the depths of her mind.

Zhang Qi was not only good-looking and had a good temper, but now he also appeared to be so capable—he was simply the most perfect candidate for a boyfriend.

If only it had been her, rather than her cousin, who had dated him in the beginning.

As soon as this thought popped up, two blushes instantly flew onto Sun Yiyao's cheeks, and even her fair neck was tinged with a faint pink.

To hide her wild thoughts, she quickly turned around and picked up the decanted red wine.

She poured two glasses, handed one to Zhang Qi, and then picked up her own.

"Brother Qi, thank you so much for today. This glass is for you."

After saying this, she raised her glass to her rosy lips.

Although she sold high-end red wine, at internal company tasting events, she would usually just take a tiny sip from a small glass and couldn't really taste anything meaningful.

For such expensive wine, this was her first time properly drinking it.

She was too embarrassed to drink much, so she just took a small sip, letting the wine swirl on the tip of her tongue.

Mellow, dense—it was indeed different from the cheap stuff that cost a few dozen yuan.

Zhang Qi watched her cautious expression, as if she were afraid of drinking too much, and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Drink freely, don't be so restrained."

He raised his glass and clinked it gently against Sun Yiyao's, making a crisp sound.

"Finish this glass, and I'll order another bottle."

When Sun Yiyao heard this, she was visibly stunned.

Her beautiful peach-blossom eyes widened slightly, her red lips parted, and her face was full of astonishment.

But beyond the astonishment, her heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably.

And watching her stunned expression, Zhang Qi also started to laugh.

It looked like he would have quite a harvest tonight.

Sun Yiyao had a good profession; buying red wine to farm cashback was simply too perfect.

Plus... there might even be unexpected gains!

Sun Yiyao didn't know what was on Zhang Qi's mind; at this moment, she just felt very pleasantly surprised.

Closing one order only meant she could keep her job.

If she could sell another bottle—taking the 6,000-yuan red wine as an example—she could get another commission of over 400 yuan.

Wasn't it just drinking some wine?

Drink!

Sun Yiyao steeled herself, picked up her glass, and downed the remaining half of the red wine in one go...
