74: Emptiness, emptiness in the physical sense!

At this moment.

On the first floor, Lu Hanxiao was also tossing and turning sleeplessly in her room.

She only felt one thing: emptiness.

Yes, not psychological, but a physical sense of emptiness.

How could this happen?

Just thinking about it made her face flush.

She, a "cold goddess" in everyone's eyes, had such a huge contrast in private.

Who would believe it if she told them?

Of course, this matter absolutely couldn't be spoken about externally.

Pan Yuyao and Di Xiaoba were still unaware.

"It's all Zhang Yu's fault~"

She thought to herself, but she didn't know what to blame him for.

After all, she was the one who initiated it.

It was purely an emotional release.

"Sigh, I won't think about it anymore, I should just go to sleep."

Lu Hanxiao closed her eyes, forcing herself to sleep.

At Binjiang Mansion, the night passed without a word.

The next morning.

When Zhang Yu woke up.

After getting up and washing, Zhang Yu went downstairs to the first floor.

He found the living room had been cleaned impeccably.

The marble tile floor was so bright it could almost be used as a mirror.

They had been getting more and more diligent lately.

"Where is everyone?"

Zhang Yu was curious.

They didn't have to get up early today, so why wasn't anyone around?

"Landlord."

Just then, Di Xiaoba walked out of the kitchen, "Have you had breakfast yet?"

"No."

Zhang Yu shook his head, "Where are your two sisters?"

"The two of them went to Red Lake to buy lotus roots, saying they plan to make soup today."

"Went to Red Lake to buy lotus roots?"

Zhang Yu thought it sounded quite abstract.

"Yes," Di Xiaoba explained, "The lotus roots there are very famous, and you can buy the freshest ones directly from the lotus fields."

"Alright."

They were really going to a lot of trouble; although the lotus roots there were famous, it would take at least two hours by car from Jiangcheng.

Including picking and loading, that's five or six hours round trip.

"They should also buy some daily necessities," Di Xiaoba said.

"What's wrong?"

"We have a flight this afternoon to Beijiang. We might not return to Jiangcheng until the morning after tomorrow."

"Beijiang? Isn't that your hometown?"

Zhang Yu was curious.

"Yes, so I plan to visit relatives and friends while I'm back, and buy some Jiangcheng local specialties to take with me," Di Xiaoba explained.

"That's not right."

Zhang Yu said, "Since it's your home turf, shouldn't you be the one to buy them?"

"Sister Xiao decided Yuyao should go," Di Xiaoba said.

"Doesn't Pan Yuyao love to sleep in the most? Can she get up so early?"

"She can't get up early."

Di Xiaoba also said, "But Sister Xiao pulled her along early this morning."

"I understand."

An answer immediately formed in Zhang Yu's mind.

Lu Hanxiao, you're practically tying Pan Yuyao to your side.

The reason Di Xiaoba was left to watch the house was because this blank slate had also been 'inked' by him.

Therefore.

Lu Hanxiao's actions were understandable.

However, how can one guard against a thief for a thousand days?

It's only a matter of time.

"Xiao Ba."

Zhang Yu said.

"Landlord, is there something you need?"

"After breakfast, let's go out for a walk together."

Seeing Di Xiaoba's attire today, it was very refreshing.

A simple T-shirt and casual pants, highlighting a homely temperament.

"Okay."

Di Xiaoba nodded, "I was planning to go out anyway."

As long as it was the Landlord's instruction, she would definitely follow through.

So, the two hit it off immediately.

They quickly went downstairs.

The shopping mall downstairs was bustling.

The two wandered aimlessly through the mall.

They attracted quite a few glances.

"It's them again, showing their faces!"

"Yeah, but why are there only two of them this time?"

"Maybe they haven't woken up yet," someone couldn't help but connect, "Perhaps there's another reason."

"What reason? Could it be they were 'drilled' so hard they couldn't get up?"

"This young man has a lot of energy if he can still get up."

"Keep your voice down, it wouldn't be good if they heard us."

Zhang Yu and Di Xiaoba walked along, and seeing the ambiguous looks on those people's faces, Di Xiaoba couldn't help but say, "Landlord, they're chattering about something, I don't know what they're saying."

"With so many mouths, you can't tear them all apart one by one."

Zhang Yu didn't pay it any mind.

He noticed a bakery had opened ahead, with the brand "Haolilai."

This store was very popular online, positioned as high-end.

One main reason was that their store employees were selected according to Flight Attendant standards.

Even their work uniforms somewhat resembled Flight Attendant uniforms.

So the girls in the store were all slender with long legs, looking especially pleasing to the eye in these outfits.

This was Haolilai's store opening strategy.

Consequently, it attracted many people to shop there.

"Landlord, let's go buy some bread."

Di Xiaoba also noticed the store, and the two walked inside.

Then.

Her eyes widened, seeing the employee ahead, she suddenly said, "Xiong Tingting?"

A girl wearing a Haolilai work uniform turned to look.

"It really is you!" Di Xiaoba took a few steps and went up to her, "Why are you working here?"

Di Xiaoba wasn't very familiar with her, having only met her a few times, always with Pan Yuyao.

Because Pan Yuyao and Xiong Tingting were interns at the same time, they interacted relatively more.

Zhang Yu looked over.

This Xiong Tingting truly lived up to her name.

The buttons on her uniform top were almost bursting.

Moreover.

The name felt somewhat familiar to him; it seemed she was on the second list for full-time conversion.

She was one of the few he personally designated based on overall performance.

Shouldn't she have become a full-time Flight Attendant for Airlines? Why was she working at a bakery?

Xiong Tingting saw Di Xiaoba and said, "I resigned."

"Why?" Di Xiaoba was surprised, "You successfully converted to full-time. The benefits at Airlines are so good. It's such a waste to resign!"

Although Haolilai's store benefits were the highest in the industry, reaching six or seven thousand.

But compared to a Flight Attendant, that was still too little.

"Sigh, never mind."

Xiong Tingting paused her work, "Although the Major Shareholder cleared out those Flight Attendant 'connections,' the management hasn't changed much."

"Xiao Ba, take these few loaves of bread to eat, I need to get back to work."

She said, turning to get busy.

"Wait a moment."

Zhang Yu spoke up then, "Can you tell me what happened?"

Xiong Tingting looked at him; the man in front of her was tall, handsome, and very young.

He came with Di Xiaoba. Could he be the legendary man behind her?

Last time, Di Xiaoba, wearing her company uniform, stayed overnight at a hotel, which caused a huge stir online and within the company.

Later, the trending topic was quickly removed. Manager Li was also fired because of this incident.

This incident had been discussed many times privately within the company.
