41: Chapter 41 Should We Take Action?

Guan Zhixue: Favorability + 10 points

Guan Zhixue: Favorability + 10 points

Current favorability: 30 points.

Listening to the system's notification sound, Lin Yi sneered.

"This woman is truly realistic."

After seeing the financial power he displayed, her favorability actually increased by twenty points.

He had been with her for so many years and sacrificed so much for her, yet he only ever had 10 points of favorability.

As expected, life only bullies the poor.

And so does love.

...

It wasn't time for Li Tong to get off work yet, so she had to rush back.

"Lin Yi, are you free later?"

"I want to treat you to dinner."

Having received such a valuable gift, Li Tong wanted to show her appreciation.

She was not the type of gold digger who would never spend a dime.

She knew that often, you have to give a man a little sweetness so they have the motivation to keep giving.

After dinner, the two of them could walk back to school hand in hand.

Perhaps, if they passed by some deserted area, they could take things further.

Like kissing, hugging, and lifting her up.

Li Tong didn't just want Lin Yi to buy her small gifts anymore.

She wanted to completely capture this man.

That way, she could logically marry into a wealthy family in the future.

She wouldn't have to struggle for the rest of her life.

With everything provided for her.

Just thinking about this kind of life made her happy.

Human nature is just like this.

Once they get a little, they start wanting more.

Moreover, Li Tong knew deeply that high-quality men were always a scarce commodity.

They were rare finds.

It could be said that she was incredibly lucky to have met a top-tier rich second-generation heir like Lin Yi.

If she didn't seize this opportunity well, Lin Yi would very likely be snatched away by someone else.

Just that girl who went into the makeup store with Lin Yi last time to buy cosmetics already made Li Tong feel a great sense of crisis.

Not only was she sweet-looking, but she also had a great figure—a slim waist, a perky butt, and long legs.

Although her key areas weren't as prominent as her own.

But she could definitely be considered a goddess-level beauty.

And leaving that girl aside, there must be other pretty girls around Lin Yi.

Just looking at the two Chanel shopping bags Lin Yi was carrying was enough proof.

Li Tong secretly made up her mind that she must seize the time to capture Lin Yi.

If it really came down to it, giving her first time to Lin Yi wasn't out of the question.

Lin Yi could only be hers!

Looking at Li Tong's eager gaze, Lin Yi shook his head awkwardly.

"Sorry, Tongtong, I already have plans tonight."

A flash of disappointment crossed Li Tong's face.

But she quickly adjusted her mindset.

She hadn't established a relationship with Lin Yi yet, so she had no right to interfere with his choices.

Besides, men are all afraid of being controlled.

Instead of being suspicious every day, it was better to be generous.

"Alright, then I'll treat you to dinner next time!"

Li Tong waved her hand, said goodbye to Lin Yi, and turned back to go to work in the store.

Lin Yi also walked to the entrance of the mall, hailed a taxi, and headed in the direction of Chen Yao and Chen Fei's home.

...

Watching Li Tong walk over carrying a Cartier bag, Yang Xiaoli looked shocked.

"Tongtong! This wasn't bought for you by Lin Yi, was it?!"

Last time, after Li Tong secretly followed Lin Yi and saw him buying a bag for Ye Shuangshuang, she had gossiped about it with Yang Xiaoli.

At that time, the two of them even speculated whether Lin Yi was engaging in revenge spending because he had been dumped by Guan Zhixue.

Or perhaps he had borrowed money by calling those small advertisement numbers, just like Guan Zhixue.

But now it seemed that Lin Yi was absolutely a rich second-generation heir.

After all, no one would borrow money to buy things for others.

Looking at Yang Xiaoli's surprised expression, Li Tong nodded gently.

She then opened the box and took out the watch Lin Yi had just bought for her.

"He said this is a birthday gift for me."

Yang Xiaoli covered her mouth in surprise.

"My god! This watch must cost at least one hundred thousand, right?!"

Li Tong smiled slightly and corrected her.

"One hundred twenty-eight thousand. He didn't even look at the price, he just swiped his card."

Yang Xiaoli suddenly seemed to think of something and leaned into Li Tong's ear, looking thoughtful.

"Tongtong, I heard that many rich second-generation heirs hide their identities in order to find true love."

"Then they see who around them treats them sincerely."

"Finally, they take their true love back to their wealthy family and reveal their identity!"

Li Tong tapped Yang Xiaoli's forehead with her finger.

"Where did you hear that from!"

"You must have seen that plot in some CEO Mary Sue novel again!"

Yang Xiaoli was a homebody, and her usual hobbies were watching dramas and reading novels.

Seeing Li Tong's slightly shy appearance, Yang Xiaoli poked her waist with a mischievous smile.

"Confess honestly, have you fallen for him!"

"Do you want to become a wealthy madam!"

Li Tong blushed, and the two of them started laughing and playfully fighting.

"I'll teach you to talk nonsense!"

"See if I don't tear your mouth apart!"

"Hahaha, if Lin Yi knew you were this fierce, do you think he'd still dare to like you?"

"You're still saying it!"

"I think for your birthday party, you shouldn't invite anyone else, just have a two-person world with him."

"At that time, you can tie a bow on yourself and gift-wrap yourself for him."

"Yang Xiaoli! You really think I can't handle you, right?!"

Li Tong grabbed Yang Xiaoli and started tickling her.

Tickling her until Yang Xiaoli giggled uncontrollably and had to beg for mercy.

"Alright, alright, I won't say it anymore."

"I was wrong, please spare me."

Seeing Li Tong let go, Yang Xiaoli hurriedly changed the subject.

"Oh right, let me tell you something serious."

"I have a cousin who got into Nanling University of the Arts this year."

"Can I invite her to come play at your birthday party?"

Li Tong nodded; after all, she had rented an entire villa to host her birthday party.

It would be livelier with more people.

"My cousin is quite good-looking, aren't you afraid Lin Yi will take a fancy to her?"

Yang Xiaoli said it cheekily, looking like someone who had forgotten the pain once the wound had healed.

"Yang Xiaoli!"

Seeing this, Li Tong raised her fist and started playfully fighting with Yang Xiaoli again.

...

...

The mall was some distance away from Chen Yao and Chen Fei's home.

It happened to be rush hour, and the roads were very congested.

They had originally agreed to eat at seven, but it was already seven-ten, and Lin Yi was still on the road.

"Sorry, I didn't expect the traffic to be this bad."

Lin Yi sent a message to Chen Yao to explain.

Chen Yao replied quickly.

"It's okay, no rush, just be safe on the road."

"I've already cooked dinner, I'll go to the entrance of the residential complex and wait for you."

"Our complex is a bit complicated inside, you might not be able to find which building we are in."

Lin Yi looked at the location Chen Yao sent on his phone; it was about a ten-minute drive away.

"Alright then, I'll be at the entrance of your complex in about ten minutes."

Seeing Lin Yi's reply, Chen Yao started to put on her shoes and prepare to go out.

"Feifei, tidy up the house a bit more, I'm going to the entrance of the complex to pick up Lin Yi, he'll be here soon!"

Chen Yao shouted toward the room.

"Okay, sister, I know! You go ahead!"

Chen Fei was currently inside tidying up.

...

Very quickly, Chen Yao arrived at the entrance of the residential complex.

It was already dark, and there weren't many pedestrians on the road.

This area was all residential, and at this time, everyone was at home eating.

A man wearing a mask at the entrance of the complex noticed Chen Yao and immediately called a number.

"Hello, Young Master Li?"

"I see the girl has come out. What do you say, should we make a move?"
