Chapter 245

If you make her buy ordinary clothes again, she'll have to grit her teeth just to afford mid-to-high-end skincare products and squeeze onto the subway.

She actually found this hard to accept.

Seeing her like this, Li Li Xueying spoke in a delicate voice: "453"

"Sister Bai, please help me!"

"But... how can I help you with something like this!" Bai Bai Jie said, her face flushed crimson.

"Tomorrow, the boss will come over... we'll just do this...."

Li Li Xueying then laid out her plan.

"This... this won't do! How can I do such a thing? You should find someone else!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Bai Jie immediately shook her head like a rattle drum.

However, Li Li Xueying had been brewing this plan for so long and would not let her off the hook:

"Is that so? Sister Bai... haven't you noticed that everything you've eaten and worn during this period has been provided by me?"

"Let me calculate it for you; it should be around two million by now... Are you really unwilling to help me with just this small matter?"

It could be said that Li Li Xueying had finally revealed her true intentions.

"I...." Bai Bai Jie was instantly speechless; she wanted to say that at worst, she would pay him back.

But the moment she thought of the amount, she felt dizzy; even if she sold herself,

she still couldn't pay it back.

"Sister Bai, I'm not actually forcing you; I'm begging you... Are you really unwilling to help your little sister?"

"Besides, think about what kind of person the boss is in the company; he is definitely not the type to deny responsibility after sleeping with someone..."

Regarding this, Bai Bai Jie agreed based on Lin Yi's performance at the company;

seeing a small part reveals the whole, and she believed he was not that kind of person.

Finally, under Li Li Xueying's persuasion, Bai Bai Jie helplessly agreed.

Thus, the following evening,

Lin Yi arrived at the high-end residential compound where Li Li Xueying rented.

Immediately, he saw that Li Li Xueying and Bai Bai Jie had cooked a table full of dishes.

"I'm in for a treat..." Lin Yi said with a smile.

"Sister Bai deserves credit for this too!" Li Li Xueying said.

"Is that so? Secretary Bai knows how to cook as well!"

Lin Yi remarked.

"Hehe, Boss, Sister Bai is skilled in many things; you'll have to experience them more in the future!"

Li Li Xueying said with a laugh.

Instantly, not knowing what she had thought of, Bai Bai Jie's cheeks turned completely scarlet.

Hearing her say this, Lin Yi turned to look at Bai Bai Jie.

At this moment, she was breathtakingly beautiful.

Her cheeks and neck were flushed with a faint red.

"Is that so? Then I certainly must experience it properly!"

Lin Yi said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Bai Bai Jie immediately turned her head away, not daring to meet his gaze at all.

Just then, Li Li Xueying brought out a bottle of red wine specially prepared and opened an hour or two in advance.

"Come, Boss, have some red wine first!"

Lin Yi glanced at her, somewhat unable to fathom what this woman was up to.

Nevertheless, he nodded.

Immediately, Li Li Xueying filled three glasses for each of them.

"Come, Sister Bai, let us wish the Boss ever-growing business and a future as the world's richest man!"

Li Li Xueying said to Bai Bai Jie.

Hearing this, Bai Bai Jie stood up, raised her wine glass, and said:

"Boss!"

"Then I shall accept your auspicious words!"

Lin Yi smiled, raised his glass, and clinked it with theirs.

Then, the three of them chatted casually while drinking.

During this time, whether due to having drunk too much or not, Bai Bai Jie kept complaining about her family pressuring her to go on blind dates.

She was only twenty-eight years old; was there really any need for such urgency?

Furthermore, while she might have been willing in the past to return to a small county town to work as a middle school teacher,

now, she truly had no such inclination.

"My family said they found a middle school math teacher for me to meet, claiming such people are honest and decent, capable of managing a household!"

Bai Bai Jie said with a look of helplessness.

"Let me tell you, such people are the most boring; their honesty and decency simply mean they lack the means to be anything else.

Sister Bai, let me tell you, if you end up with someone like that, you will regret it for the rest of your life!"

Li Li Xueying said.

To this, Bai Bai Jie nodded; she did not object.

Such a person, holed up in a small county town working as a teacher,

if she really married someone like that, just imagining the dreary days ahead—waking up each morning thinking only of firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, and tea—

with money tight, she would probably have to think for a long time before daring to buy even a single bottle of high-end skincare products.

And that was not even counting what those small county towns in the north actually had;

how could they possibly compare to the bustling Magic City?

Did they have an IFC mall there? Did they have delicious high-end restaurants?

Just thinking about returning home every day, watching some TV, and then crawling into bed was something Bai Bai Jie simply could not endure.

"In any case, I will definitely not go back!"

Perhaps slightly tipsy from the alcohol, Bai Bai Jie looked at Lin Yi with an aggressive yet hazy gaze and said:

"Moreover, Boss, you said you would take care of me...!"

"Uh... I suppose I did!"

Lin Yi nodded as he recalled the words he had spoken that day in the office.

Instantly, a very happy smile appeared on Bai Bai Jie's face:

"Boss, let me toast you another glass!"

Immediately, Lin Yi clinked glasses with her.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Li Li Xueying made an excuse to wash the dishes, casting a meaningful glance at Bai Bai Jie.

The latter's face, already slightly flushed from the alcohol, turned even redder.

Once Li Li Xueying had left,

Lin Yi was just about to stand up when suddenly Bai Bai Jie threw her arms around him.

"Secretary Bai, what are you doing...?"

"Boss, I'm a bit drunk; could you carry me to the bedroom?"

Clinging to Lin Yi's firm waist, Bai Bai Jie said with a hazy gaze.

"Oh, no problem!"

Lin Yi was neither a fool nor an innocent virgin; when a woman invites you to her bedroom,

what was about to happen went without saying.

In fact, unless one was those iron-straight men, otherwise, for any man,

in a situation with such soft fragrance in his embrace, no one could resist.

At such a moment, there was absolutely no need to test a man's perseverance.
