Chapter 1006: Keep Taking

The liveliness of Ye Dongjing had faded, and Teacher Ge and the others were all drunk.

Although they thought about not mentioning previous conflicts, after drinking some wine, they always had to express their true feelings, and after expressing them, they inevitably had to drink more. It was endless, and they were all drunk.

Instead, Lingzi was relatively sober. Although inevitably muddled, she didn't drink too much.

Stuffing Tao Tao into a taxi, Wang Yan supported Teacher Ge, and Lingzi supported Ling Hong, sending them back.

After settling Teacher Ge and Ling Hong, Lingzi wiped the fine beads of sweat from her forehead and let out a long sigh of relief: "Come to my place for a glass of water and rest before leaving."

After speaking, she didn't wait for Wang Yan to agree or refuse, and stepped straight up the stairs toward the room where she lived.

Wang Yan smiled, followed her silently, arrived in the room together, and sat by the table.

Lingzi busied herself pouring a glass of water and placing it in front of Wang Yan, then sat down beside him, saying: "Just got back, haven't had time to tidy up properly, it's a bit messy."

"I've been here once; I know you're a clean person."

"When?"

"New Year's Eve in '91. You were all drunk at the time, and I sent you back and threw you on the bed. At the time, you were still grabbing my hand and wouldn't let me go, muttering 'Why do you always run away?'"

Lingzi patted her head: "Right, right, right, I forgot. You didn't tell me this at the time, did you?"

"No, it would affect the mood."

"Doesn't it affect it now?"

"On the basis of already being affected, adding a little more influence is equal to no influence."

"You're right, Bao Zong is in the past." Lingzi shook her head and smiled, "As for Ling Hong and the others, of course I'm angry, but thinking about it later, forget it. I told Ling Hong yesterday that she only pitted me for so much, which can be considered as affirming her relationship with me. She has a simple mind; seeing me make money from Bao Zong, she felt it was easy for me to make money, so she robbed the rich to help her poor."

Wang Yan didn't say much; she thought it out well herself, so why would he need to say more?

He asked with a smile: "How come you wanted to run Ye Dongjing well after a trip to Japan?"

"I understood a truth in the past few months. People have to rely on themselves; others can't be relied upon. Love, men, none of them can be relied upon. Only money is reliable, and only a career is reliable." Lingzi played with the cup with one hand and rested her chin on the other. Her voice was low, but her words were firm.

Immediately, she looked up and met Wang Yan's eyes.

"You wouldn't be that kind-hearted, would you?"

"Is my character that unreliable?"

"Your character is very reliable, but you're unreliable when it comes to men and women, and it just so happens you're a man and I'm a woman." Lingzi raised her eyebrows.

"I intended to turn my heart toward the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch." Wang Yan shook his head helplessly, "I said before eating, taking over Ye Dongjing was to leave a place for everyone, and also to prepare for you not coming back, so that everyone had a place to remember you. After all, we were friends. What else could I be plotting against you?"

"Really that kind-hearted?"

"I also said, I don't have time to manage such a small restaurant. You were doing well originally, and now you have a good plan. I make money if you do it well. Even if you didn't come back, Ye Dongjing's income would be enough to maintain operations, pay Little Monk and the others, and everyone eating and drinking together is no problem. Bao Zong didn't charge me when he transferred the shop to me; it was free. I didn't pay a cent. It was the same as before, and it's the same now."

Looking at Lingzi's straight gaze, Wang Yan shrugged, "Alright, I admit that if you want to have a friendly exchange with me, I'm very willing to work hard. Men and women are both people, and both have physiological needs. Looking at you now, I guess you were hurt by Bao Zong and don't want to find another man to live a good life, but want to focus on your career and making money. This kind of affair between men and women can be considered a seasoning in life."

These were words Lingzi wanted to hear, so Wang Yan said them truthfully.

But after Lingzi heard them, she spat: "I knew you had no good intentions. You can say such shameless words so openly; you're shameless enough."

"No way, I'm a relatively realistic person, and what I say is realistic. And the truth often lacks a lot of embellishment and is very shallow." Wang Yan reached out his hands with a chuckle, grabbed Lingzi's hands, and played with them, "This is a matter of mutual consent, and it's not something I decided alone. Otherwise, wouldn't that be illegal?"

Lingzi's hands were indeed trembling a bit, but she didn't pull them away.

She watched Wang Yan rubbing her hands, feeling the slight itch on her hands, and said: "You are completely opposite to Bao Zong."

"Do you wish he were the same as me?"

"Pah. Flirting everywhere, don't know how many women he has, don't know how many children he has raised outside. How is being the same as you good?" Lingzi pulled out her hand and slapped Wang Yan hard.

"There are still benefits, for example, I am a responsible person, very generous, and my body is also very good. How good exactly, maybe you need to feel it yourself. A person's life is not long, not short, but being able to be healthy and energetic is only the first half of life."

"You are thirty-eight this year. At this age, basically the first half of your life is almost over. The best time to do something was in the past, but we can't go back to the past, so the best is always the present. Grasping the present is grasping the future. Once you hesitate, it's like the three years you wasted with Bao Zong."

Since things had reached this point, Wang Yan naturally had to probe further.

So as he spoke, he moved to hold Lingzi in his arms, stroking her cheeks and neck with one hand, and rubbing back and forth on her thighs with the other.

Visibly, Lingzi's face began to turn red, and it turned red all the way to her neck. Her breathing began to deepen. Her body and mind, which hadn't been comforted by a man for several years, became restless. She couldn't stop moving her body back and forth, unconsciously leaning against Wang Yan's neck.

She might have wanted to resist, but the hand pushing against Wang Yan's chest had no strength at all.

"You really are a scumbag..."

"When it comes to men and women, it's indeed like this, but scumbags have their benefits, you have to savor them."

Men and women are just like this; without deep contact, you can't deeply feel what this person is really like.

Lingzi might have been persuaded by Wang Yan, or perhaps she was touched by Wang Yan taking over Ye Dongjing and supporting her actions, which made her rethink her feelings for Wang Yan. Or perhaps it was because of Boss Abao, which made her think it through, and Wang Yan was indeed a very good object, and everyone had no burden. There were always some reasons; after all, Lingzi was not a casual woman.

But regardless of the reason, on this night, Lingzi re-recognized Wang Yan.

Similarly, Wang Yan re-recognized Lingzi.

Lingzi, who had been empty for many years, showed her feelings to the depths, which was indeed refreshing.

However, Lingzi couldn't be wild. After all, it was an old house, and the soundproofing wasn't very good. She always suppressed herself. It was precisely because of this suppression that more stimulation was added...

When Lingzi woke up in a daze, it was almost noon. She stretched her arms in satisfaction and laziness, and gave a big stretch. Before her eyes were fully open, her stretching arms happened to grope around beside her. The empty feedback, plus the slight pain caused by her legs being spread wide because of the stretch, made her groan, and she became alert.

She didn't know if it was because of the slight discomfort in her body, or because she was dissatisfied with the departure of the damn man, or both.

She finally opened her eyes, looked at the familiar ceiling, and suddenly had a feeling of rebirth. She really started over. And this start, she thought, was still okay.

Yesterday's muddled, half-pushed, half-accepted state achieved today's ease accompanied by pain. It was a huge joy after removing the burden, perhaps all attributed to the impact of being filled by the crazy pleasure last night.

Thoughts flashed in her mind. The madness of last night was still before her eyes. The real touch of skin against skin made her groan with soul-trembling, but it brought pain again, making her wake up once more.

She didn't regret it, only satisfied. For a moment, she doubted the meaning of her entanglement with Boss Abao over the past three years...

But the past was finally the past. She didn't think much more, went to the bathroom naked and wet to take a shower, changed into new clothes, put on light makeup, carried her small bag, stepped on high heels, and went downstairs at a leisurely pace toward Ye Dongjing.

It was just mealtime, and Ye Dongjing was very busy. Although Lingzi didn't come, because of the inertia of the past few months, they continued to operate. Teacher Ge was still collecting money here, and Ling Hong was still coming to help.

Seeing Lingzi come in, Teacher Ge, who was eating by the counter, said: "Lingzi is here? You didn't drink much wine yesterday, how come you got up later than us? This is Wang Laoban's assistant, waiting for you to handle the procedures at the industrial and commercial bureau. He came in the morning and has been waiting until now."

Teacher Ge greeted a man wearing glasses who was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, but had his sleeves rolled up, helping with work.

"Hello, Boss Lady. Wang Laoban called me to handle the procedures, but it's noon now, and the industrial and commercial department is also on lunch break. Let's go in the afternoon. I have nothing to do anyway, so I'll just help out here."

Lingzi nodded with a smile: "Have you eaten?"

"Ate before coming."

"Then eat a bite first, and then get busy after eating."

"I'll eat after I'm done; I won't add to the chaos." The assistant smiled friendly at Lingzi, then pushed his glasses and went to help again.

"This assistant of Little Northeast is good. He's been helping since he came." Teacher Ge muttered, then changed the subject, "Lingzi, did you hear any noise last night?"

"Oh, yes, I heard it too." Ling Hong leaned over, "I heard noise for half the night in a daze, don't know what it was. Teacher Ge, you should find someone to take a look."

"Alright, I didn't hear anything. Lived here for so many years and had no problems, suddenly there's a problem? Don't be so surprised, okay?" Lingzi was very calm, "Tao Tao didn't come?"

"He usually comes at night."

Ling Hong replied, looking at the assistant who was busy there, and sighed, "Wang Laoban is really amazing. He's usually laughing and joking with us, and we don't feel anything. As a result, he sent an assistant over, oh, this assistant looks like a college student, knowledgeable, cultured, polite to everyone, and grabs work to do. This really reflects Wang Laoban's greatness."

Lingzi curled her lips. Of course, she knew Wang Laoban's greatness even better.

Only hearing Teacher Ge continue: "It's just that his affairs between men and women are too messy. He was such a good person before."

"Oh, alright, alright. You old guy just has no money, otherwise you wouldn't be any worse than Wang Laoban."

"Impossible, I am loyal and devoted to the old lady."

"Shut up, you think I didn't see it? Beautiful women coming into the shop or passing by outside, you and Tao Tao wish your eyes were growing on them."

Ling Hong didn't listen to Teacher Ge's defense, as if she suddenly thought of something, and leaned to Lingzi's side, "Lingzi, don't mind me if I speak harshly. Now that you're doing business with Wang Laoban, why don't you take this opportunity to just be with Wang Laoban?

That Xiao Jiangxi, I inquired about her later. She used to be a waitress, not as pretty as you, just occupied being shameless, and Wang Laoban was willing to spend money on her. You're so familiar with Wang Laoban, it can be considered closer than close, can't you be better than a Xiao Jiangxi?

Besides, you're really not young anymore. You don't look at ordinary men, Bao Zong isn't easy to compare, how can you compare to Wang Laoban? If there are any who can compare to those two, I guess they are even more flirtatious than Wang Laoban. And those people are definitely not young. How many are younger than Wang Laoban? Really, think about it carefully."

Lingzi's face was already a bit hot. She went to get a can of chilled herbal tea to reduce internal heat, took a sip, and then spoke: "Since you think so highly of Wang Laoban, why don't you go seduce him yourself?"

"Oh, Wang Laoban doesn't look at me. If he looked at me, do you think I wouldn't be willing? As long as I lie on the bed, just pretend to be arched by a pig, and I can have endless money. Who would still be terrified of pitting your money? You let me pit it, and I wouldn't."

Glaring at her, Lingzi ignored her and went to the kitchen to find something to eat. She was really hungry...

After handling the procedures and adding her name to the business license, Ye Dongjing stopped operating. With the assistance of the renovation personnel sent by Wang Yan, a new renovation plan was made, and then construction began.

This morning, Wang Yan appeared at the entrance of Ye Dongjing.

"Oh, why did Wang Laoban come in the morning?" Seeing Wang Yan get out of the car and come over, Tao Tao asked with a smile.

"Ye Dongjing is going to be demolished, so I came to take a look."

"Just right, I brought a camera, let's take photos for everyone, shall we take a group photo together?"

"Come on."

Wang Yan and Lingzi exchanged glances back and forth, but there wasn't much talk.

Lingzi was still embarrassed after all. After all, Wang Yan didn't have a good reputation in this regard, which still had some influence on Lingzi.

After everyone took a photo together, they stood in a row, watching the renovation workers moving in and out, starting to move things out.

"Although it's said that Ye Dongjing is where everyone is, now that Ye Dongjing is going to be demolished, I still feel very uncomfortable." Tao Tao muttered like this.

Teacher Ge also sighed: "I'm used to it. Now renovation will take a lot of time. I don't know what to do now."

"I think you're just simply because you have nowhere to eat."

"Oh, Ling Hong, am I that kind of person?"

"Alright, alright, you're going to quarrel in two sentences, what's there to quarrel about?" Lingzi waved her hand impatiently, "It'll be fine when the renovation is done and it opens again. It won't take many days for everyone to adapt."

"Lingzi is right, if you can get used to the past, you can get used to the future." Wang Yan smiled and chimed in, getting a roll of eyes from Lingzi.

Everyone stood here and reminisced for a while, then dispersed, because there was dust everywhere, and even the walls inside had started to be smashed, so there was really nothing to see.

Teacher Ge found a place to stroll, Tao Tao went to find someone to play mahjong, Ling Hong returned to her small shop and waited boredly, leaving only Wang Yan and Lingzi.

"I thought you had forgotten Ye Dongjing."

"Why do I hear a taste of a resentful wife? Did you feel the goodness of a scumbag? It's not like you don't have my phone number. If you miss me, just call me."

Lingzi blushed a little and slapped Wang Yan hard.

"Teacher Ge and Ling Hong heard the noise when they were drunk. These past two days, Teacher Shi and the others have been looking at me with strange eyes. It's all your fault."

"You're not without happiness, you can't blame it all on me."

Lingzi slapped him again and said: "The renovation and the purchase of new things later are all left to you. Besides, my money is all spent, you give me some to spend first."

"Didn't you say you wanted to rely on yourself?"

"Alright, you, are you not acknowledging the account? Did I let you sleep for nothing?"

Lingzi was a woman approaching forty. In ordinary times, the scale of her jokes wasn't small. Now that they really slept together, she was a fiery character, which instead could be considered liberating her nature.

He smiled: "So it is said that people still have to keep a certain distance. Now that the true colors are revealed? 'Old lady' is coming up?"

"Do you know what Ling Hong said to me before? She said..." Lingzi repeated it, "Then I understood. Why is it that I'm the only one letting you sleep, Xiao Jiangxi has a big hotel, Miss Wang does a high-end clothing brand, and I let you sleep for nothing?"

"You said you wanted to rely on yourself, and you said you couldn't sleep for nothing. You said everything, as if only I was happy after sleeping with you."

"Then I don't care, anyway, I'm relying on you."

"Get in the car."

Saying this, Wang Yan walked toward the car parked on the street. Lingzi asked where they were going while following him, and sat in the passenger seat.

Sitting in the comfortable seat, Lingzi took a deep breath and said: "A smell of perfume, don't know who you're messing around with all day."

Wang Yan turned his head and raised his eyebrows at her: "I'm messing around with you today."

Rolling her eyes at Wang Yan, Lingzi asked again: "Where are we going?"

"You'll know when we get there."

Chatting idly like this, Wang Yan drove all the way to Yuyuan Road and stopped in front of an old western-style house.

The two got out of the car. Lingzi looked at the small garden outside and also looked at the two-and-a-half-story western-style building, and couldn't help asking: "Bought for me?"

"The property deed is on the coffee table inside, and it's your name on it."

"But you didn't ask for my ID card, and you didn't let me sign."

"Sometimes it's needed, sometimes it's not." Wang Yan patted her butt, "Go take a look."

Compared to Miss Wang, Lingzi's surprise was even greater. Objectively speaking, the impact Wang Yan brought to her now was greater than when Boss Abao opened Ye Dongjing for her back then. This was unquestionable.

But people are emotional. For Lingzi, the memories Boss Abao brought her were more deeply engraved in her heart, otherwise she wouldn't have had to struggle for three years. It's just that Wang Yan's generosity now also made Lingzi very excited.

She knew Wang Yan was generous before, but it wasn't spent on her. It was nothing more than some wine, and she didn't feel it too much. Now, of course, it was different.

After looking up and down, inside and out for a long time, Lingzi took the property deed and sat on the sofa, took off her shoes, and leaned against Wang Yan's side.

She shook the property deed and asked: "This house wasn't just bought, right?"

"Bought the year before last. If it was just bought, there wouldn't be time for renovation. If you don't like it, tear it down and renovate it again later."

"Pretty good, it's about the same style as the one you have on Julu Road. I like it very much. How much did this house cost at the time?"

"About 600,000 to 700,000."

"It must be over a million now, right?"

"About the same." Wang Yan took the property deed from her hand and threw it on the coffee table, and his hand reached into her neckline, "Don't have to worry about disturbing others here, right?"

Lingzi was very sensitive. She had a trembling tone when she spoke: "Still can't live here, I can't explain it clearly. It's a matter of mutual consent, making it seem like an affair."

"I don't care, it depends on you."

"I still want some face."

Lingzi hit Wang Yan weakly and muttered, "I'll give you my luck, bless you to make a big fortune."

"The gods of the little Japanese can't get close to my body, let alone bless me." Wang Yan's movements didn't stop, "It's not good to want something for nothing. You work a little now."

"Don't do it here, it's not easy to clean if the sofa gets dirty. Go to the room."

Wang Yan didn't object, held Lingzi, who was already confused, and went upstairs.

Lingzi certainly had problems, and quite a few. She wasn't very likable. However, these didn't matter to Wang Yan. In non-essential situations, any problem was a small problem for him. After all, many problems could be solved with money, and other personality problems could all be suppressed. In short, as long as he was comfortable, it was fine. So far, he had only killed one Wang Manchun...

Lingzi, at thirty-eight, was also very moist... ===== CHAPTER 1007 =====

Lingzi definitely has her issues, and quite a few of them; she isn't particularly likable. However, this is all irrelevant to Wang Yan. Unless absolutely necessary, any issue is a small problem to him; after all, many problems can be solved with money, and other personality flaws can be completely suppressed. In short, as long as he is comfortable, that is enough. To this day, he has only killed one Wang Manchun...

Thirty-eight-year-old Lingzi is also very moist...
