15: So, do you owe me one?

At this moment.

Zhang Yu drove the lamborghini veneno all the way until they reached a tidal flat by the river.

The water level here had receded significantly, and the tidal flat was covered in fine, soft sand.

Looking back, the lights of the tall buildings were already more than ten kilometers away from them.

"Landlord, where is this?"

Pan Yuyao saw the car slowly decelerate and turned her head to look.

The buildings across the river were much shorter.

"This is the suburbs of Jiangcheng," Zhang Yu said. "The air is nice. Let's rest for a while."

"Mhm."

Pan Yuyao nodded.

"Wow, you can even see stars here."

Pan Yuyao looked up at the sky.

Due to her movement, her head leaned toward Zhang Yu's shoulder.

The unique fragrance of her freshly washed hair drifted into his nostrils.

Instantly, he was greatly moved.

Pan Yuyao nervously glanced around.

There was no one nearby.

She relaxed.

Wait, why am I having these thoughts?

..."Pan Yuyao."

At that moment, Zhang Yu smiled at her.

"Huh?"

Pan Yuyao replied, but she turned her head away, afraid to look at him.

"I didn't realize you usually don't honestly pay your taxes."

Zhang Yu said.

"Huh?" She was confused.

What was he talking about?

"Because you avoid a lot of tax."

Pan Yuyao instantly stiffened.

She hated understanding instantly.

Pan Yuyao had never dated, but she knew what was what, even if she hadn't experienced it herself.

She knew what he meant, and he knew that she knew what he meant.

Their mutual understanding made Pan Yuyao want to find a hole to crawl into even more.

What girl could withstand such teasing!

Zhang Yu noticed that the Peach Blossom Value had risen by another star; it was now eight stars!

"Ding-a-ling!"

Just then.

Suddenly, a phone rang.

In the silent night, it sounded especially jarring.

Pan Yuyao was startled by the ring, and her body quickly sprang back into the passenger seat.

She took out her phone and saw that Lu Hanxiao was calling.

"Hello, Sister Xiao?"

Pan Yuyao said.

"Yuyao, where did you go running? Why aren't you back yet?"

Inside Binjiang Mansion.

Lu Hanxiao asked.

Normally, when she went for a night run, she would have returned long ago.

The expected return time today had passed a long time ago, and there was no sign of her and no phone call.

The more she thought about it, the more worried she became.

So, she proactively called Pan Yuyao.

Fortunately, the call was answered instantly, and she finally felt relieved.

"Sister Xiao, I—I'm by the river."

"Why did you run to the river? Are you alone?" Lu Hanxiao asked.

"No, um, the Landlord is next to me." Pan Yuyao couldn't help but tell her.

"Why is he there too?"

"Well, I ran into him when I went out, so we came to the riverside for a walk," Pan Yuyao said, focusing on the key points.

"Alright. It's getting late. You should come back soon."

"Mhm, we're heading back now!"

After hanging up, Pan Yuyao looked at Zhang Yu somewhat guiltily.

She felt a bit sorry for him.

Interrupting something halfway through like this was a huge mood killer.

"Landlord, let's go back, otherwise..."

She still cared about her reputation.

Moreover, she had just braced herself, shutting her eyes and steeling her heart.

With this phone call, it would be difficult to get back into that state again.

Plus, it was very late.

If they stayed any longer, she didn't know what time they would get back.

It would affect tomorrow's schedule.

"Fine." Zhang Yu sighed, started the sports car, and turned the steering wheel. "Then, do you owe me one?"

"Huh?"

Pan Yuyao looked at Zhang Yu with her beautiful eyes.

Then she lowered her head and softly hummed, "Mhm."

"Alright, let's put it on the tab for now. We should head back."

Zhang Yu smiled, turned the lamborghini veneno around, and drove toward Binjiang Mansion.

They didn't speak the entire way.

Pan Yuyao was still shaken.

If Sister Xiao hadn't called, today would have... She secretly glanced at Zhang Yu.

He was concentrating on driving, a slight smile playing on his lips.

She couldn't help but think, 'I'm doomed, I'm doomed.'

If he ever told Sister Xiao and Di Xiaoba, wouldn't she be... The more she thought about it, the more flustered she became.

No, she couldn't let them know. Otherwise, they would laugh at her for ages.

A few minutes later, they returned to Binjiang Mansion.

Pan Yuyao went back to her room first, and Zhang Yu parked the car and returned to the master bedroom on the second floor.

He was ready to sleep.

Before sleeping, Zhang Yu opened the System to take stock.

He had received a sports car worth 50 million, and his Points had increased by 50.

It seemed Points were calculated as one-hundredth of the initial value of the prize.

He currently had 75 unused Points.

He entered the Points Exchange Mall to see what he could redeem.

Zhang Yu was like this.

He had to draw the blind box immediately, and he also wanted to see what kind of deals he could snag with his Points.

He couldn't wait a second.

After flipping through a few pages, one item quickly caught his attention.

[Body Function Enhancement and Restoration Potion]!

"Item Description: This potion requires 60 Points to exchange. After use, it can greatly enhance physical fitness, stamina, endurance, and explosive power. It can also improve appearance, removing spots and acne!"

Holy cow.

This potion was great, and it only cost 60 Points.

Not only could he strengthen his physique, but he could also become even more handsome?

Therefore.

Zhang Yu didn't hesitate and immediately chose to redeem it.

Following the prompt that the System Points were successfully deducted.

As soon as the Enhancement and Restoration Potion arrived in his personal center, he immediately chose to use it.

Soon.

He felt a flash of golden light before his eyes, followed by alternating sensations of coolness and burning heat in his body.

The coolness swept across his eyes, and he found that the things he saw in the dark room were much clearer.

His original 200 degrees of nearsightedness and astigmatism suddenly became much sharper.

The clarity was like going directly from 480P to 1080P.

Meanwhile, the burning heat circulated throughout his body, a wave of warmth that felt like it was about to explode.

He picked up his phone again and opened the front-facing camera.

He was astonished to find that a pimple he had developed on the corner of his mouth from internal heat had disappeared without a trace.

His originally dull complexion had also brightened and whitened significantly.

The bloodshot veins in his eyes were gone too.

Compared to before using the potion, his appearance had improved by two more levels!

It was truly miraculous.

Zhang Yu was only considered moderately handsome before, but after using this potion, he could be described as supremely handsome.

Looking at the handsome face in the camera, even he was almost captivated.
