"What, Sister Muqing, do you know him? Didn't I tell you before that Ayuan works at our car wash? He's a really nice guy."

Chen Xinghe introduced the product to Bai Muqing with great enthusiasm.

Bai Muqing weakly tugged at the corners of her lips, her voice gentle: "It's nothing, I mistook you for someone else."

He was the heir of the powerful Li family in Beijing, wielding immense influence and control over a vast conglomerate. Even those in political and business circles had to show him respect; he was incredibly influential.

How could it possibly be this car wash worker in front of me wearing a cheap T-shirt?

Hearing this, Lin Zhixia finally felt relieved and quickly pulled Li Chengyuan away.

Lin Zhixia only breathed a sigh of relief after walking a considerable distance and confirming that no one was chasing after her.

Li Chengyuan noticed that she kept looking back, her face pale, and asked her a question.

"Do you know them?"

Lin Zhixia paused for a moment, then shook her head in denial.

No, I don't know him.

As she spoke, she quickened her pace, when Li Chengyuan suddenly grabbed her wrist, his voice more serious than usual.

"Are you hiding something from me?"

Lin Zhixia's eyes were filled with panic. She didn't dare to look up at him and clenched her fingertips tightly.

"No..." Her mind went blank, but then she remembered the original owner's temper and immediately perked up, her voice involuntarily rising, "I just saw those two women staring at you, Li Chengyuan, can you please stop attracting attention like that!"

Li Chengyuan was taken aback by her sudden reproach. His dark eyes stared at her. Lin Zhixia's fair cheeks were flushed with anger, her cheeks puffed out, and her pink lips were slightly pouting.

Lin Zhixia looked at Li Chengyuan, who remained silent, and her heart was pounding. He probably didn't suspect anything, right?

The original owner used to be afraid that Li Chengyuan would talk to women, ostensibly because she was afraid he would be seduced, but actually because she was worried about being recognized. So she was extremely strict about this aspect.

Li Chengyuan took the bag from her hand: "Next time I'll try to keep a low profile. Let's go home."

Looking at the man's tall and straight back, Lin Zhixia breathed a sigh of relief. Every day had been like a rollercoaster ride.

Lin Zhixia quickly followed, looking up at his well-defined profile.

"Don't go racing again next time. This time you were fined two thousand, which is enough to buy an electric car."

Li Chengyuan has to get up at 6:30 every morning to get ready and take the bus to wash his car by 8:00. But if he had an electric scooter, he could get there in 40 minutes, which would save him a lot of time.

If we're going to use that money to fine him, we might as well use it to buy him an electric scooter.

He glanced down at her and saw that she was still muttering to herself.

"I'm sorry you had to spend so much money. I'll find a part-time job in a couple of days and pay you back."

Lin Zhixia was suddenly taken aback by his distant words.

"What?"

Li Chengyuan looked into her bright and clear eyes: "What I mean is that I'm sorry to have wronged you. Not only did we not make any money this time, but you also spent so much of it."

Looking into his earnest yet unfamiliar eyes, Lin Zhixia felt a pang of sadness, as if her heart was being clenched.

He gave all the money he earned to the original owner, and the original owner spent his money, yet he spoke of it in such a humble manner.

Lin Zhixia took a deep breath, a smile playing on her lips: "It's okay, as long as you're alright. I'm sure you'll earn back two thousand dollars quickly."

"You're not angry with me?"

Lin Zhixia nodded hurriedly: "You earned the money, and you have the right to control your own money, but don't go racing in the future. It's too dangerous. If someone dies, it will cost more than two thousand yuan."

Li Chengyuan stared at her intently.

Lin Zhixia got goosebumps from his gaze and quickly tugged at his arm.

"Let's go home, I'm sleepy."

The leaves on the roadside trees swayed gently in the night breeze, and the dim lamplight cast long shadows of the two people standing side by side, making them look exceptionally harmonious.

As soon as Lin Zhixia and Li Chengyuan reached the door, they saw that the ground was covered in water and there was a splashing sound coming from inside the house.

The two exchanged a glance, and Li Chengyuan quickly took out his key to open the door.

As soon as the door was pushed open, water inside immediately overflowed.

Lin Zhixia glanced around and realized that this could no longer be called a house; it was more like a waterfall. Li Chengyuan strode inside and discovered that the water pipe in the kitchen had burst for some unknown reason.

Lin Zhixia pointed behind the water pipe: "Quickly turn off the main valve."

Li Chengyuan bent down to turn off the water pipe, but the spot where the pipe burst was too narrow. Lin Zhixia saw this and went up to help, but she was sprayed with water as soon as she got halfway there.

"what!"

She staggered several steps from the powerful jet of water, her clothes instantly soaked.

But at this moment, she couldn't care less about anything else. She quickly went up to help Li Chengyuan turn off the water valve, and the water flow stopped.

"Are you alright?"

Li Chengyuan stood up and looked at Lin Zhixia. She was soaked in sweat, and her thin T-shirt clung to her body, outlining her shapely figure.

Her hair was soaking wet and clung to her face, making her look like a drowned rat.

Li Chengyuan's Adam's apple bobbed, and he quickly looked away, pulling a towel from the side and handing it to her.

"Go to the bathroom quickly to wipe yourself down and change your clothes. I'll take care of things here."

Lin Zhixia was still thinking about how Li Chengyuan would manage with so much water all by himself, but she waved her hand dismissively.

"It's okay, I'll clean up the water here for you first before I go change it."

As she spoke, she turned around, went inside, grabbed two buckets, and came out. At that moment, the door was pushed open, accompanied by the voice of a middle-aged man.

"Did a water pipe burst here? It's flooding the area next door."

"I'm sorry, we'll handle it right away."

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhixia hurriedly stepped forward to explain, but before she could even get halfway out, Li Chengyuan blocked her way, grabbing her wrist and speaking to the person at the door.

"It's so late now, we'll call someone to come and handle it tomorrow morning."

Old Zhao saw Lin Zhixia as soon as he entered the room. This girl was not only beautiful, but also had a great figure. Now that her clothes were soaked, her figure was even more graceful. He stood on tiptoe and turned to the side, his eyes almost popping out of his head.

"Um, do you need any help?"

Li Chengyuan felt Lao Zhao's lewd gaze and quickly grabbed Lin Zhixia's hand, shielding her behind him.

This time, it completely blocked Lao Zhao's view.

"No need, you can go back. Also, please knock before entering in the future."

Old Zhao noticed that Li Chengyuan's eyes had hardened and were full of hostility, and he scoffed lightly.

"Okay, okay, look how protective you are."

The door slammed shut.

Li Chengyuan turned around, his gaze inadvertently sweeping over her chest before he quickly looked away, his voice slightly hoarse.

"Go inside and change your clothes quickly."

Lin Zhixia noticed that something was wrong with Li Chengyuan. She looked down and realized that she was soaked in sweat, her clothes were clinging tightly to her skin, and the edge of her underwear was faintly visible.

Her mind went blank for a moment, and she hurriedly clutched her chest and ran into the bathroom.
