4: Reject Bai Yueguang's invitation

Chapter 4: Rejecting the White Moonlight's Invitation

"If no one wants you in the future, I'll marry you."

Hearing Ji Zhiting's words, Li Zhiyan fell silent for a moment.

If he really accepted that, Zhao Manman would definitely go all out against him, and children's words couldn't be taken seriously, only as a joke.

He carefully observed Ji Zhiting in front of him.

She truly inherited all the genes of that beautiful woman.

She was much prettier than her sister.

However, at 18, she was still a bit too young and lacked the mature charm of a woman.

But that youthful, vibrant aura was quite captivating.

Being with young girls made one's mindset much younger.

Looking at Ji Zhiting standing before him again, he realized that this girl had really grown up a lot.

Her height wasn't much shorter than his.

"Ting, you're quite tall now. Even in flat shoes, you're so tall. If you grow another six or seven centimeters, you'll really be taller than me. How tall are you now?"

Ji Zhiting spun a few times in front of Li Zhiyan.

"Brother, I'm 173 cm now. I stopped growing a long time ago."

Ji Zhiting's words made Li Zhiyan feel a bit dazed.

Unconsciously, had this little brat already grown to 173 cm?

Time truly flies...

Li Zhiyan found it difficult to connect the graceful young woman in front of him with the greedy little girl she used to be.

"Brother, actually, the reason my sister divorced you was simply because you weren't rich enough."

"This society is very realistic. Look at all the things on Rhythm that teach women to be realistic."

"So you need to have money."

Looking at Ji Zhiting's serious expression.

Li Zhiyan didn't know what this child wanted to tell him.

"Brother..."

"My sister divorcing you means her judgment was poor. I've always thought my brother is the best."

"It's just money, right? I'll give it to you. You can start a small business, and I believe in a few years you'll become a big boss too!"

"Check WeChat, I've sent it to you."

"You have to prove that you're not inferior to my sister!"

As Ji Zhiting spoke, she operated her phone.

Li Zhiyan opened WeChat and saw four transfers of fifty thousand yuan.

Looking at the earnest young woman in front of him.

Li Zhiyan's heart was inexplicably touched.

"Ting, where did you get so much money?"

Ji Zhiting put down her phone.

The admiration in her eyes for Li Zhiyan was deeply hidden.

"It's rewards my mom gave me when I got good grades on exams. I've saved it up over the past few years."

"I've saved a total of three hundred thousand, but today's limit is reached. I'll give you another hundred thousand tomorrow."

"Brother, you must prove yourself and make my sister regret it."

Li Zhiyan was somewhat silent. The exquisitely beautiful young woman in front of him gradually overlapped with the little girl she once was.

She had truly grown up, now possessing a tall, graceful, and shapely figure, and her looks far surpassed Ji Mengting's.

"Ting, I won't take this money."

Ji Zhiting touched her bun.

"I know, brother, this is called a man's self-esteem."

"But I'm your younger sister! Look, all those protagonists have their first pot of gold. All the rewards my mom gave me that I've saved over the years can be your first pot of gold."

"Without money, how can you turn things around and surpass my sister?"

"Look at those novel protagonists, they even have a golden finger with them."

"Don't worry, I absolutely won't let anyone know about this!"

Ji Zhiting felt a pang of reluctance thinking that she originally planned to use this money to open a milk tea shop near her school.

This was a dream she had for three years in middle school!

However, when she thought of doing it for her brother, she felt that spending all the money was worth it.

For Ji Zhiting, Li Zhiyan was her white moonlight.

However, in the past, her feelings for Li Zhiyan could only be buried in her heart. Now that he had divorced her sister, it wasn't immoral for her to be with him!

Looking at Ji Zhiting, who seemed to be joking and trying to make him accept the money.

Li Zhiyan couldn't help but step forward.

He embraced her.

Only then did Li Zhiyan realize that this girl had truly grown up.

He released Ji Zhiting after realizing he shouldn't casually hug her like that anymore.

If Zhao Manman found out, she would definitely go all out against him.

"It's okay, I have money. Don't worry, Ting."

Li Zhiyan didn't intend to hide the fact that he had money.

It was best to go to sleep quickly now.

He wanted to see if he could return to the past again. In the long run, five million yuan would certainly not be enough for him.

Ji Zhiting looked at Li Zhiyan and felt she could understand.

It seemed her brother was trying to save face, but it was normal for men to be like that.

She could understand...

It was better not to say anything for now. She would wait until she found a suitable excuse to give him her savings.

Li Zhiyan glanced at the time.

"It's getting late. You can stay here for now, Ting. I'll come back after work to cook for you."

Since Ji Zhiting had said so much, it would be inappropriate not to let her stay here.

So, Li Zhiyan didn't refuse at this moment.

Letting Ji Zhiting stay here, as she said, their relationship was indeed very good.

Their WeChat conversations had been very frequent these past few years.

"Okay."

Ji Zhiting lowered her head, perhaps because of what she had just said.

So, Ji Zhiting was a bit shy at this moment.

Li Zhiyan stared a bit blankly. A young woman who hadn't experienced the world was still different from women in society.

Since he had entered society, he had never seen such a smile again.

"Then hurry home, I'll wait for you."

After Li Zhiyan gave Ji Zhiting some instructions.

He planned to leave...

At this moment, Ji Zhiting called out to Li Zhiyan.

"Brother! Wait a minute, let's take a photo together. It's been so long since we've seen each other."

Saying that, Ji Zhiting ran to Li Zhiyan's side.

She put her arms around his neck and took a photo with Li Zhiyan.

Under Li Zhiyan's gaze, she set the photo of them as her phone wallpaper.

This child...

Smelling the faint fragrance on Ji Zhiting.

He knew that this child hadn't yet transitioned from being a child to an adult.

She was still as affectionate towards him as before.

Afterward, Li Zhiyan gave a few more instructions before rushing to the company.

Along the way, Li Zhiyan felt incredibly confident.

This was a feeling he had never experienced before.

He also completely understood why those slovenly landlords were so confident.

While young men in suits and ties looked like insurance salesmen.

The root of an adult's confidence and demeanor was whether or not they had money in their pockets.

Arriving at the company.

After stepping into the department office.

His colleagues at the company also greeted Li Zhiyan.

And He Shilian also urged Li Zhiyan to come over quickly.

"Li Zhiyan, hurry up and do your work."

Today, He Shilian had applied a very delicate light makeup.

And she was wearing a red dress that she usually hesitated to wear.

"You're dressed nicely today, He Shilian. Are you going on a blind date today?"

"Blind date? It's not that easy. Those locals in Modu are very picky."

Speaking of blind dates.

He Shilian looked a bit troubled at this moment.

It was too difficult for her to find someone with an annual salary of three hundred thousand and a house locally.

Actually, the men she had gone on blind dates with were all willing to be with her, but their income and family background didn't meet her conditions, so she didn't agree.

And some who had that income were too unattractive for her to accept.

There were some male colleagues in the department who pursued her, such as her number one pursuer, Feng Ruhai.

And also the loyal pursuer, Yang Shouyu.

But most of them came from rural areas, and their income of seven or eight thousand yuan didn't rank high in Modu at all.

And they probably wouldn't be able to afford a house here in their lifetime.

...

After sitting down, Li Zhiyan thought about what to do with the five million yuan.

At this moment, a message from his former white moonlight appeared on WeChat on his computer.

It was from Zhou Lili.

Li Zhiyan still vividly remembered being publicly rejected during the graduation party.

"Li Zhiyan, I heard from classmates that you're doing well working in Modu, with a monthly salary of ten thousand."

"I'm also being transferred to Modu for work. We'll be living in the same place from now on."

"Before the class reunion, let's meet up and have a meal."

Li Zhiyan realized that, clearly, the incident of him driving a rolls-royce to pick himself up in the past space hadn't changed anything about Zhou Lili in this timeline.

But the five million yuan had indeed come over.

What was going on? Was that past truly the past of this space?

Or the past of a parallel universe?

Why did some things affect his current timeline, while others couldn't?

He had countless questions in his mind.

Looking at Zhou Lili's profile picture, Li Zhiyan still instinctively felt a surge of emotion.

Zhou Lili had the qualities to become the campus belle and the white moonlight in countless people's hearts. Especially after five years, she had matured into a complete older sister type.

"Forget it."
