If you're not going to marry me, why are you flirting? If you dare run away, I'll sever yo

When a series of misfortunes piled up, Lingya agreed to help him manage and rent out the factory, which was the only good news so far.

According to the plot of the novel.

By April of this year, policies will begin to support the transformation of micro-industrial parks. At that time, the factory buildings can be divided and sold at high prices, and I can make a fortune. In this way, I will no longer have to live at the mercy of others.

"Okay, Sister Ya, you have a wide network of connections, so I'll leave the rental business to you from now on."

Qi Nan just typed and sent it.

The other end immediately replied, "These are minor issues. Although I know many people, your factory is so large and located in the suburbs. Even if it's divided into several different industrial parks, it'll probably be difficult to fully rent them out."

"Don't worry, Sister Ya, the policy will be released in another month. People will be scrambling to rent then, so let's let things develop for a while."

"Do you have some inside information? Are you so sure there will definitely be favorable policies?"

"The God of Wealth appeared to me in a dream a while ago."

"I always thought you would be a staunch materialist."

Qi Nan's face turned green. "I used to be a materialist, but I'm not anymore."

"Okay, then I believe you."

After the two ended their conversation, Qi Nan received his hard-earned wages for a month and the first thing he did was quit his job at the massage parlor.

Screw you, Xia Ningqi! If I, Qi Nan, ever wash your feet again, I'll be incredibly lucky!

He washed the bamboo for several nights in a row, and spent his days leisurely observing it. He could even tell how many rings there were on the bamboo's veins.

Early spring has arrived.

Xia Ningqi woke up in the morning with a fine sheen of sweat on her forehead. A few strands of her dark hair clung to her smooth skin, damp with sweat. The hair at her temples was soaked with sweat and slowly slid down her jawline, wetting the collar of her pajamas.

After a long while, she woke up from her dream, panting.

Oh no, I'm having another weird dream...

Xia Ningqi stood up, the wicked image lingering in her mind.

No, no, I need to take a shower, otherwise I'll be too unclean. This has been happening for a while now, something that has never happened before. Could it be that my puberty is late?

The hallway of the house.

Today is the first day of the new semester at university. Xia Ningqi ran into Shen Wanping, who was coming downstairs.

"Lemon Qi, did you take a shower this morning? You smell so good."

Because Xia Ningqi never wears perfume, Shen Wanping could tell it was the smell of shower gel just by smelling it.

With an awkward expression, Xia Ningqi curled her hair and turned her legs inward. "Yeah, I did take a shower..."

"Mmm~ It smells so good, let Mom hug me."

Xia Ningqi was very obedient and opened her arms. Shen Wanping then pulled her into her arms and sniffed at her collarbone.

"Mom...it's so itchy like this..."

"That's because you're so cute~ and so soft to hug~"

Xia Ningqi was wearing a light apricot-colored thin knit sweater, loosely draped over her shoulders, with a beige floral print suspender dress underneath. The skirt hem reached her calves, and a thin white ribbon was tied around her waist. Her long, black hair was loose and tied in a braid.

Shen Wanping didn't let go. She parted her thin lips slightly and said in a low voice, "Daughter, Mom wants to discuss something with you."

"What's wrong?"

"Mom wants to hold you every day, so can you stay at home instead of living in that shabby apartment? I'll send a driver to pick you up and drop you off at school every day."

Xia Ningqi resolutely refused, "Mom, I'll come back during my vacation. It's too much trouble to travel back and forth every day."

"Sigh, well, life without you, Ningqi, is like a cake missing a piece—it's not sweet anymore."

Xia Ningqi was somewhat noncommittal, then broke free from her embrace. "Okay, Mom, I should go to school now, otherwise I'll be late for the first class and the teacher will definitely scold me to death."

"Then I'll take you there, and we can chat for a while."

Perhaps because she was abducted when she was young, Shen Wanping was very clingy to her. This made Xia Ningqi feel the long-lost maternal love. At least she didn't dislike the feeling of being cared for.

After a quick breakfast, Xia Ningqi rode in Shen Wanping's Bentley to the gate of Linhai University.

The moment he stepped out of the car, he attracted a lot of attention.

Luxury cars and beautiful women—it's hard not to make students passing by on their way back to school think the wrong thing.

"Isn't this Xia Ningqi? The one who stood out the most at the last party?"

"She's so beautiful. Although she was pretty last semester, her whole demeanor has changed this semester. She's practically the perfect white moonlight template in my heart."

"Hiss~ Quick, take a picture! Post it on the forum after you're done. I'm voting for her in this year's school beauty rankings."

...

Qi Nan was riding his bicycle when he accidentally overslept because he forgot to set his alarm.

There were less than ten minutes left before class started.

He started moving at full speed, blowing up the skirts of passing girls, yelling, "Push your legs up! I'm going to be late!"

I still remember the message our class advisor sent in the student group last night.

"Today is the first class meeting of the new semester. Anyone who is even a second late will be punished by cleaning their own office for a day. Anyone who is two seconds late will have to clean for two days."

Our class teacher, Sister Jing, is a shrew. No matter if you have a reason or not, if you can't do it, you're bound to be punished. Anyone who dares to disobey her is now buried with grass two meters high.

Qi Nan executed a stylish drift, parked the car in the parking space, and then sped towards the teaching building.

After climbing four floors, he finally reached the classroom door, panting heavily.

Jingjie was already standing on the podium, looking at the time on her wrist, occasionally tapping her toes on the floor.

"Ding ding ding~"

Just as the bell rang, Qi Nan stepped into the classroom.

It was a race against time...

Just as Qi Nan breathed a sigh of relief, Sister Jing clapped her hands and said, "Qi Nan, you really know how to time things well."

"Thank you for the praise, class teacher."

"Get down and sit down right now! Do you want the whole class to wait for you?!"

"Yes, sir!"

Qi Nan sheepishly went downstairs to find a seat, only to find that there were empty seats next to Xia Ningqi and Tang Rou. It was obvious that the seat next to Tang Rou would be Lin Xiaoxiao's.

Although I really didn't want to sit next to Xia Ningqi, I had no other choice.

He plopped down on the floor.

Xia Ningqi, standing nearby, teased, "Did you get up so late because you were too tired from washing my feet last night?"

"Serving you is exhausting, so I've already resigned."

"Hmph, what a lack of perseverance."

Qi Nan's stomach growled twice at this moment, because he had rushed over in such a hurry that he hadn't even eaten breakfast.

Xia Ningqi naturally heard it.

She deliberately picked up the meat bun Ye Fan had given her from the table, took a bite, and uttered two words, "So delicious."
