After leaving the room, Li Yao first took Happy to his room to rest.

Only then did they come out to continue entertaining Lin Zhengyi.

When he came out, the food was already prepared.

So the two of them went to the dining table.

"Mr. Lin, please have a seat!" Li Yao said with a smile.

Hear this!

Lin Zhengyi then sat down.

at the same time!

His gaze swept across the dining table in front of him, taking a look at the things currently on it.

Steamed lobster, braised abalone, stir-fried sea cucumber, and shark fin soup are all dishes made with relatively high-end ingredients.

You're welcome!

Before Li Yao could say anything, Lin Zhengyi started eating.

While eating, Lin Zhengyi said, "By the way, I know you have the surveillance in the sterile room to have someone replicate my pharmaceutical products. But let me remind you, it's best to test the replicated drugs on some small animals first."

He knew that unless Li Yao was stupid, she wouldn't directly use the replicated drug on Happy.

but!

I still want to remind you of something.

What if the other party has a brain fart and uses it directly?

Upon hearing Lin Zhengyi's words, Li Yao was stunned for a moment before quickly realizing that her little scheme had been discovered.

moment!

A barely perceptible hint of embarrassment flashed across her face.

It felt like being caught stealing.

But soon!

She then changed the subject, saying, "Come and try this shark fin soup. My aunt makes the best shark fin soup!"

As she spoke, Li Yao served Lin Zhengyi a bowl of shark fin soup.

of course!

Her actions were merely a cover for her current embarrassment.

Lin Zhengyi saw through it all.

However, we should see through it but not expose it.

So he just smiled and drank the shark fin soup without saying anything.

And while eating!

quickly!

Lin Zhengyi then noticed something was wrong again, just like last time.

He looked down.

really!

Li Yao's small feet stretched out again, I don't know when.

Lin Zhengyi stared intently at Li Yao opposite him and said, "Miss Li, if you keep this up, I might lose control of myself."

"Really?"

Li Yao smiled slightly and said, "If you can't control yourself, then so be it. You saved my sister, and I consider my sister my life, so you are essentially the one who saved my life."

"People often say that a life-saving grace should be repaid with one's body. If you really can't resist, then I'll consider it repayment for saving your life."

Hear this!

Lin Zhengyi deliberately showed a lecherous look on his face, then suddenly stood up, stretched his head out, and made a gesture as if he was about to kiss him.

Li Yao was startled and instinctively shrank back, asking, "What are you doing?"

Although she was mentally prepared to give herself to Lin Zhengyi for the sake of happiness, mental preparation was one thing, but deep down, her acceptance of Lin Zhengyi wasn't actually very high.

After all, the two hadn't known each other for very long.

That's why she reacted that way subconsciously.

but!

The voice just fell.

next second!

She saw a half-smile on Lin Zhengyi's face as he said, "It seems Miss Li isn't as eager to repay you with her body as she claims!"

Seeing this scene and hearing Lin Zhengyi's words, Li Yao finally realized that she had been tricked by Lin Zhengyi.

immediately!

Lin Zhengyi's smile faded, and he said seriously, "Actually, I know what Miss Li is thinking. She just wants to seduce me, make me her boyfriend or develop a more serious relationship, and then keep me trapped."

"This way, we can avoid situations where Happy's medication supply is insufficient or I have to deal with something that means there's no supply available for a while."

"But to be honest, there's no need for that. I helped Happy because I wanted to help Happy, and since I've started helping, I'll see it through to the end. Changing my mind halfway through isn't my style."

"You don't have to make that kind of sacrifice for happiness."

These words struck a chord with Li Yao, leaving her in a long silence.

Lin Zhengyi saw through her thoughts. Well, although it was unexpected, it wasn't entirely unexpected.

After all, she had investigated Lin Zhengyi's background before and knew that he was a police officer, and it was quite normal for a police officer to discover her little scheme.

only!

Faced with her proactive approach being rejected, Li Yao felt a complex and indescribable emotion.

She was touched, but at the same time, she couldn't help but doubt her own charm.

Am I really that unattractive?

Even though they've clearly shown their willingness to offer themselves up, the other party not only doesn't accept it, but actually refuses?

I was just thinking about it!

Lin Zhengyi picked up a napkin from the side, wiped his mouth gently, and then said, "Okay, I'm full. That's enough for today. If there's nothing else, I'll be going now!"

Finished!

Lin Zhengyi then got up to leave.

Seeing this, Li Yao suddenly realized what was happening and quickly stood up, saying, "Hey, wait a minute!"

"what happened?"

Lin Zhengyi paused, turned to look at Li Yao, and asked, "Is there anything else?"

After hesitating for a moment, Li Yao said, "It's nothing, just be careful on the road!"

She originally wanted to apologize.

After all, his previous attempts to seduce her felt somewhat like judging a gentleman by his own petty standards.

I thought that only in this way could I ensure that Lin Zhengyi wouldn't abandon his responsibilities one day or at some point, but he clearly stated that he wouldn't do that.

From this perspective, she was a bit petty.

only!

The words were on the tip of her tongue, but she still couldn't bring herself to say the two words of apology.

and so!

Finally, she changed the subject and told Lin Zhengyi to be careful on the road.

Hear this!

Lin Zhengyi smiled and said, "Don't worry, I haven't been drinking, nothing will happen!"

With that, he left gracefully.

As she watched his departing figure, a complex and indescribable emotion flickered in Li Yao's eyes.

-

the other side!

After leaving the villa, Lin Zhengyi prepared to go home.

Driving on the road, because it was night, there weren't many streetlights in Hong Kong at that time, especially in sections where fewer people passed by.

Therefore, Lin Zhengyi drove at a leisurely pace.

It happened while we were driving!

suddenly!

He realized something was wrong.

Just ahead, a white figure stood by the roadside, swinging its arms slowly up and down, as if trying to hitch a ride.

However, as Lin Zhengyi got closer, the man's face was revealed.

She was a girl with pale makeup, wearing a white dress and white shoes.

It looks a bit ghostly.

Combined with his unhurried, up-and-down arm movements, the ghostly aura was even more pronounced.

With this makeup, only Lin Zhengyi is daring.

Anyone else would probably be scared half to death, or someone with a heart condition might die on the spot.

Thinking about it!

Lin Zhengyi, however, gradually brought the car to a stop.
