When his wicked ex-girlfriend beckoned him, CEO Li lost control!

Xu Yanzhou was taken aback by Lin Zhixia's sudden question. He was momentarily stunned, his face stiffened, and he forced a smile.

"Why are you asking this all of a sudden? What do you want from me?"

If Lin Zhixia hadn't read the entire novel, she wouldn't have suspected that Xu Yanzhou's previous claim of keeping it a secret was because he felt Li Chengyuan's current personality was better.

It's normal for friends to help each other.

However, Xu Yanzhou is now actually willing to help her pay off her debts. Before she transmigrated, she was a seasoned laborer and never believed in such free lunches.

Because it might come at a high price.

Lin Zhixia composed herself and analyzed objectively and fairly: "Because you have never had any contact with me before, there is no reason for you to help me so much."

Xu Yanzhou lowered his eyes and glanced at Xu Xingtao, passing over Lin Zhixia.

"Actually, it's because of my sister. She suffered a lot during the birth of this child, and it was through IVF. The doctor said that this might be the only child she'll ever have."

"Unfortunately, this child was born weak, and for various reasons, my sister couldn't sleep all night long. My sister is only in her thirties, but she already has gray hair."

"I think if you can go abroad, my sister will have another helper. Besides, I know the situation of the Li family. They have very strict requirements for hiring nannies. If you don't have some skills, you won't be able to get into the Li family."

Lin Zhixia listened, and the reason was somewhat plausible, but she still vaguely felt that something was amiss.

Don't end up like the original owner in the book, thinking you've escaped one pit only to fall into another.

The phone rang at that moment. Lin Zhixia glanced down at it and saw that it was Li Chengyuan calling.

She slid down the answer button and lowered her voice.

"Feed".

"When are you coming back? Mr. Yang said he signed a big deal and is going to treat us to dinner."

Lin Zhixia glanced at the time: "I'll be back soon."

"Okay, I'll wait for you at the hotel."

"Okay." After hanging up the phone, Lin Zhixia said to Xu Xingtao and Xu Yanzhou, "Um, my boyfriend asked me to go back. Miss Xu, if there are any problems with the baby, please have Xu Yanzhou send me a message."

Xu Xingtao was genuinely grateful to Lin Zhixia, and even wanted her to stay when she saw that she was about to leave.

"Miss Lin, why don't you eat here?"

"No need, I'll be going now."

As Lin Zhixia spoke, she picked up her bag from the sofa and quickly left.

Xu Xingtao quickly gave Xu Yanzhou a wink: "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and deliver it."

Xu Yanzhou then came to his senses and hurriedly grabbed his car keys and chased after them.

He caught up with Lin Zhixia in a few steps: "I'll take you back; it's hard to get a taxi here."

When Lin Zhixia got out of the car, she noticed that the place was indeed a bit remote, but quiet, probably because of the children.

She nodded. "Thanks."

On the way, the two didn't speak again. Xu Yanzhou was worried that if he said anything more to Lin Zhixia, she would get annoyed.

Anyway, I've said everything I needed to say, so let her figure out the rest herself.

Back at the hotel, Lin Zhixia bent down to unbuckle her seatbelt and thanked Xu Yanzhou.

"Thank you for your help. Please drive carefully on your way back."

"Oh, by the way, this is for you."

Xu Yanzhou took a very exquisite gift box from the back seat of the car. Lin Zhixia could tell from the packaging box that it was expensive.

She quickly refused.

"This is too expensive, how can this be?"

Xu Yanzhou transferred another 20,000 yuan to her: "I've transferred today's money to you as well, please accept it."

Lin Zhixia's eyes widened when she saw so much money.

"So much! I only took a look, how can I take so much? I'll return some to you."

The two men started arguing about money in the car.

Just then, Li Chengyuan came out of the hotel and saw Xu Yanzhou holding Lin Zhixia's hand.

Li Chengyuan frowned, walked over, and knocked on the car window.

Lin Zhixia turned her head when she heard the sound and saw Li Chengyuan's handsome face was gloomy. She quickly distanced herself from Xu Yanzhou and tried to return the perfume, but Xu Yanzhou forcibly stuffed it into her arms.

"My sister asked me to give this to you. She said you helped her so much, and if I go back and find out this wasn't delivered, she'll scold me. Just consider it a good deed."

Lin Zhixia thought that Li Chengyuan was waiting outside. Would the young master's heart be sensitive again? In order to avoid conflict, she could only accept the gift for the time being.

"Then if the baby has any problems in the future, just tell me directly, and don't give me any more money."

Xu Yanzhou readily agreed: "Okay."

Lin Zhixia got out of the car, and Xu Yanzhou followed suit, opening his car door and greeting Li Chengyuan.

"Ah Yuan, I heard you're going out to eat. Your boss, Mr. Yang, sells cars, right? I happen to have a friend who's also buying a car. How about I come with you? It's on me."

Li Chengyuan narrowed his eyes, a cold glint flashing in them.

"If you want to buy a car, come to our store another day. It's not convenient for us today because our boss is having a celebration party."

Xu Yanzhou noticed that Li Chengyuan's aura had changed in that instant, and based on his understanding, Li Chengyuan was probably unhappy.

He chuckled and curled the corners of his lips; he had never seen him so nervous before.

Who would have thought that Li Chengyuan, who had never been moved by anyone and never paid any attention to women, would one day care so much about someone, especially someone he used to hate the most.

Really interesting.

He didn't press the issue: "Okay, we can talk about it another time."

After Xu Yanzhou left, Lin Zhixia couldn't wait to speak to Li Chengyuan.

"Li Chengyuan, I earned 20,000 yuan today by babysitting for Sister Xu Yanzhou! And this bottle of perfume was also a gift from her. With this, our finances will be greatly improved."

Li Chengyuan's gaze fell on the exquisite box, and he said thoughtfully.

"This perfume must be very expensive."

Lin Zhixia was so happy about making a fortune today that she could hardly contain herself. When Li Chengyuan asked her this question, she replied with a big smile.

"Of course, it's very expensive. This brand of perfume must cost at least a thousand. I'll put it on Xianyu (a Chinese online marketplace) and I'll probably only lose two or three hundred yuan, but it's still a good deal."

Li Chengyuan said calmly, "No need. We have enough money now. Keep your money and buy things you like. Supporting the family is a man's job, so don't worry too much about it."

He knew that it must be because he hadn't done enough and hadn't earned enough that Lin Zhixia, who used to have no concept of money, was now so concerned about it.

Every time he saw her sitting on the bed with a calculator, figuring out how to allocate the money for the month, how much would be left after deducting daily expenses and online loans, and how much she had to limit her daily expenses, he felt quite useless.

Lin Zhixia shook her head: "No need, I'm not interested in these things right now. Think about it, this bottle of perfume costs over a thousand yuan. Even if I go out, people won't give me a raise, let alone give me a discount on groceries."

Li Chengyuan hurriedly took out his phone and transferred 10,000 yuan to Lin Zhixia.

"When we get back, we'll buy you an electric scooter, then you won't have to squeeze onto the bus to go to work anymore."

Lin Zhixia felt that Li Chengyuan's sudden behavior was a bit strange. She lowered her eyes and asked him in a low voice.

"Li Chengyuan, are you a little bothered that Xu Yanzhou brought me back?"
