Chapter 85: Delivered to the Door
Lian Li asked in one go: 「What time do you usually eat breakfast? Is it the congee from Jing Ying Zhai?」
God of Wealth Master: 「Someone will pick you up at eight, don’t worry about anything else」
The Eldest Young Master’s domineering style also has its advantages, such as not needing others to worry about the process.
Lian Li turned off the light, reached out to pull the quilt, bundled it into a ball, hugged it to her chest, closed her eyes, and slept.
The next day, the moment the hour hand on the clock on the wall pointed to eight o’clock sharp, the doorbell rang on time.
Lian Li had already finished washing up and tidied herself. She opened the door, and a tall, strong young man stood outside.
His appearance was a little familiar.
Lian Li quickly searched her mind and soon found the answer—the bodyguard who dragged Zhao Lizheng out of the car that night.
Ling Yu had a faint old scar on his right eyebrow. When he smiled, the scar connected: “Miss Lian, the boss sent me to pick you up.”
“Is the boss Jin Shi Yue?” Lian Li sized him up calmly, even though she already had an answer in her heart, she still wanted to confirm it in person.
Ling Yu: “Yes, yes, it’s him. I’m not in a hurry, you can take your time.”
Li Ye said that girls shouldn’t be rushed when going out, and one should be patient. At the same time, one shouldn’t be harsh with girls, but gentle.
Lian Li felt his smile was uglier than crying. The corners of her lips curved into a smile, and she said gently, “Please wait a moment.”
Ling Yu stood straight, with the stability of Mount Tai, and repeated: “I’m not in a hurry, I can wait a hundred times.”
Lian Li picked up the milkshake-white crescent moon bag hanging on the rack, slung it over her shoulder, and walked out.
Ling Yu’s eyes widened in disbelief: So fast.
Lian Li locked the door and took the elevator down with Ling Yu.
A silver Bentley was parked in an open parking space, and Ling Yu opened the back door.
Lian Li got in, and after Ling Yu got in the car, she asked, “Where are we going now?”
“Wan Yi Hua Fu.” Ling Yu fastened his seatbelt and said, turning back. “The boss stayed there last night.”
Lian Li: “Then what did he eat this morning?”
Ling Yu’s limbs were more developed than his brain. Hearing this, he finally understood what she was asking: “We’ll pass a Western Restaurant on the way. The boss wants to eat breakfast at a Western Restaurant today.”
Lian Li hummed, took out her mobile phone from her bag, and Xue Shufan happened to send her a message.
Xue Shufan: 「Lili, there’s a property rights dispute with the townhouse in New York. I’m flying to New York today and will be back on the 31st. I’ll prepare a big birthday gift for you then!」
Lian Li: 「Is it a big problem?」
Xue Shufan: 「Not big, a small problem. I’ve taken advantage of Pei Qingji. Zhong Tai has an elite legal team in Manhattan, so why not use them.」
Lian Li: 「Clever you.jpg」
Xue Shufan: 「A powerful Chinese woman for life.jpg」
Xue Shufan: 「What are you doing?」
Lian Li: 「Delivering takeout.」
Xue Shufan: 「???」
Lian Li’s fingers quickly tapped the keyboard: 「Someone is so poor they can’t afford to eat, I’m just delivering breakfast along the way.」
Xue Shufan: 「So pitiful, can’t even afford to eat, perhaps you spent all your money on the spiritual world like me?」
Lian Li: 「Yes. Very little money is spent on food, and the Engel coefficient is unprecedentedly low.」
Lian Li and Xue Shufan chatted happily, back and forth.
The Bentley slowly stopped. Lian Li looked up at the car window. In front of a magnificent tall building, a middle-aged man in a blue work suit was walking over with a food container.
Ling Yu got out of the car and exchanged a few polite words with the staff. The staff bowed with a smile and turned back. Ling Yu then knocked on the rear car window, and Lian Li, not understanding, pushed open the car door.
“Miss Lian.” Ling Yu handed her the food container steadily.
Lian Li took it with both hands and asked him naturally, “Is there a bill?”
Last time Jin Shi Yue delivered breakfast to her, he paid for it; this time, she was delivering it to him, so she should pay.
“The boss said, you don’t spend money on men, and he happens to be a man,” Ling Yu repeated earnestly. “He can’t let you break your principles.”
Lian Li: “…”
Her mind could even automatically translate this sentence into Jin Shi Yue’s tone.
Ling Yu was acting on Jin Shi Yue’s orders, and the money matters still had to be discussed with Jin Shi Yue. But given the Eldest Young Master’s personality, no matter how much she insisted on paying, it would end in vain.
After three seconds of silence, Lian Li understood. She placed the food container down, avoiding knocking it over and spilling it. She tilted her head and glanced at the logo on the side of the food container.
This Western Restaurant was difficult to get a table at and never served breakfast.
The Eldest Young Master’s special treatment was one in a million; he was probably a VVV V…n VIP customer.
The car drove into Wan Yi Hua Fu. Lian Li suddenly worried about running into Jin Yan Ting and regretted delivering breakfast to Jin Shi Yue. She should have invited him to eat outside.
If he refused to eat breakfast outside, then they could change it to lunch or dinner.
After all, Jin Shi Yue’s and Jin Yan Ting’s villas were too close. Waiting at the door would definitely be discovered.
Fortunately, Ling Yu didn’t leave her at the door but drove the car directly into the underground parking lot.
Ling Yu didn’t go up. He pointed the way for Lian Li, saying that the elevator could directly reach the villa.
Since entering Jin Shi Yue’s house, Lian Li had felt inexplicably uneasy.
She really was incompatible with Jin Shi Yue.
Lian Li took out her mobile phone and sent a message to Jin Shi Yue: 「I’ve arrived and am taking the elevator upstairs.」
The elevator arrived, but the chat page remained silent. Lian Li sent another message: 「Are you not awake yet?」
「Then I’ll leave the breakfast on the table and go.」
She had eaten something at home this morning and wasn’t hungry now. Even if she were hungry, she didn’t plan to wait for him here.
The villa was large, spacious, and bright, with a layout similar to Jin Yan Ting’s. Lian Li easily found the dining room.
She opened the food container and took a look. It contained a rich Australian breakfast, and the portion size suggested it wasn’t for one person.
Lian Li closed the lid and turned to leave, but bumped into Li Ye, who was walking a dog, face to face.
The other party’s expression was normal, with no sign of surprise.
Seeing Lian Li, the God of Wealth’s dark eyes lit up. Li Ye held the leash, preventing it from rushing forward.
Li Ye said to Lian Li: “Miss Lian, the boss is sick.”
Lian Li was stunned.
Jin Shi Yue was sick?
Li Ye opened the medicine box he was carrying, found the fever reducer, and placed it on the table next to Lian Li: “This is the medicine. Please help me take a look. I still need to take care of the God of Wealth.”
“The boss’s room is on the second floor, and the door is unlocked. You can go in directly.”
As he finished speaking, he forcefully pulled the God of Wealth and walked out.
Lian Li said, “He’s sick, call…” a doctor. She wasn’t a doctor.
Before Lian Li could finish speaking, Li Ye and the God of Wealth had already disappeared.
She was quite surprised.
No, is the sick boss less important than a dog?
Lian Li picked up the fever reducer from the table with her left hand and dialed Jin Shi Yue’s number with her right hand, but no one answered.
She looked around the empty villa, finally poured a glass of hot water, and went upstairs with the fever reducer.
Lian Li stood at the master bedroom door and knocked: “Brother Shi Yue?”
No one answered.
“Jin Shi Yue?”
Still no response.
Lian Li hesitated for a moment, twisted the door open, and walked in.
The master bedroom was dimly lit, with thick curtains blocking out the light. Jin Shi Yue was lying on the bed, covered by a dark quilt from his narrow and firm waist up. His upper body was… bare, with no clothing.
The muscle lines were smooth and firm, with clear definition.
Quite pleasing to the eye.
Lian Li didn’t have a habit of admiring sick people. She stepped forward, placed the glass cup on the bedside table, and reached out to touch Jin Shi Yue’s forehead.
It was burning hot.
At this moment, Lian Li didn’t know that not everyone let down their guard when they were sick.
Just as Lian Li was about to move her hand away and get up, Jin Shi Yue suddenly grabbed her wrist and forcefully pulled her onto the bed.
