The Great Sage Returns from Ten Years of Imprisonment

Over the phone, Ling Yun issued a summons to Zhou Hua and the others.

Tell them to take care of their current tasks, ask for leave from their companies tomorrow, and come to Beijing to join me so we can fight side by side again.

And they were told not to worry that Yuanda Futures would not cooperate.

Because Yuanda Group is also part of his plan, and plays a very important role.

At the same time, General Manager Kong was also calling Chairman Zhao to inform him and General Manager Wang to come to Beijing tomorrow.

Chairman Zhao immediately guessed that something big was about to happen, and that it was related to Lingyun and Yuanda Group.

Without the slightest hesitation, Chairman Zhao immediately nodded in agreement.

We'll set off first thing tomorrow morning, flying to Beijing with President Wang.

Twenty minutes later, Ling Yun drove back to his duplex mansion in the Financial Street area without incident.

I had just entered the room and hadn't even had time to change my shoes when my phone suddenly rang.

Ling Yun took out his phone, glanced at the caller ID, and casually answered the call.

Before he could say anything, Leilei's reproachful voice rang out.

Why is your phone always off? I've called you several times, but I can't get through to either of your phones.

Ling Yun changed into slippers and walked towards the living room, explaining with a smile.

"Excuse me, I had a very important investment meeting today, and my phone was off from 9 a.m. until now. I just got home. Is there anything I can help you with?"

The tone of the voice on the other end of the line softened instantly, tinged with a hint of timid hesitation.

"Oh, I see. Actually, it's nothing important. My sister gave me two tickets to a play at the Beijing People's Art Theatre, the third version of 'Thunderstorm'."

"I wanted to ask you to go to the Capital Theatre to see a play together, and then have dinner together afterwards, but who knew you were so busy..."

As they were talking, Ling Yun walked into the living room and sat down on the sofa.

After Leilei finished speaking, he jokingly teased her:

"It's hardest to resist the kindness of a beautiful woman! If I had known such a wonderful thing was coming, I wouldn't have attended even the most important investment meetings!"

"No meeting is more important than watching a play with you. It's just a pity I missed this opportunity; I'll have to wait for next time!"

"Get lost, all you're good for is sweet talk."

Leilei said coquettishly, but her joy was undisguised.

She hesitated for a moment, then her tone became even softer.

"I can't make it to the play, but how about I treat you to dinner as a return favor?"

Ling Yun did not answer immediately, but fell silent.

He wasn't a block of wood; he naturally understood Leilei's deep affection for him.

Leilei is a stunning beauty with a perfect figure. If he said he wasn't tempted, he would be lying through his teeth!

But considering his relationship with Yanzi, he felt a little troubled!

Should I remain just friends with Leilei, or take it a step further and become her boyfriend?

What if I really become another scumbag in the financial industry in the future? How will I get along with Yanzi and Leilei?

"Hey, are you listening? Why aren't you saying anything?"

Leilei's beautiful voice came again.

The voice was as gentle as a feather, lightly brushing against Ling Yun's heart, pulling him back from his troubled thoughts.

The next moment, he gritted his teeth and stomped his foot.

Who cares about the future! Let's deal with the future later. It's more important to satisfy our immediate emotional and physical needs!

My buddy has been a monk for three or four months now. If he doesn't find a girlfriend soon, he might really get burned. Life is short, so enjoy it while you can!

"Leilei, why don't you come here?"

Ling Yun's tone suddenly became much gentler.

"Let's eat at home. I have something I want to talk to you about. I have a lot of things to do today, and I'll be very busy tonight, so going out to eat isn't convenient!"

"what!"

Leilei cried out, clearly flustered.

After a few seconds, she stammered back:

"That works too. Or I can call Yanzi and ask her to come along. It'll be more fun with more people."

"Let's not call Yanzi. It's best if it's just the two of us tonight."

Ling Yun quickly shook his head.

The breathing in the receiver paused for a moment, then a trembling response came through.

"Okay, since you're so busy, I'll come find you."

Ling Yun smiled and asked with concern:

"What would you like to eat tonight? There's a restaurant near Financial Street that serves pretty good Jiangsu and Zhejiang cuisine. Would you like to try it?"

"It's up to you. As long as you like it, I don't have any dietary restrictions."

Leilei responded in a low voice.

After hanging up the phone, Ling Yun immediately called the restaurant.

I ordered a table of decent-looking, not too sweet, Jiangsu and Zhejiang cuisine, and asked the restaurant to deliver it later.

After ordering food over the phone, he rushed upstairs, took a shower in the master bathroom, and washed away his fatigue and the little bit of sweat.

After taking a shower, I changed into the latest Armani summer casual outfit and dressed up nicely.

Then I came downstairs and sat back on the sofa in the living room.

Then he opened his laptop and waited for Leilei while checking news about the Caribbean hurricane season.

But her mind had already wandered far away, and her heart was restless like a cat scratching at her. She couldn't calm down at all, and she even mistook the hurricane path map for Leilei's smiling face.

Fortunately, it didn't take long before Leilei arrived at the entrance of the residential area by taxi.

When Lingyun went downstairs to the entrance of the residential area, she saw it at a glance.

Leilei was carrying two potted plants and walking somewhat laboriously into the residential area.

She wore a light blue dress, the hem of which swayed gently in the wind, her long hair flowing, making her breathtakingly beautiful in the afterglow of the setting sun.

Lingyun quickly stepped forward and took the flowerpot.

"Give them to me. What made you suddenly decide to buy flowers?"

Leilei nodded, her pretty face slightly flushed.

"There weren't many plants in your new house, so I just happened to pass by a flower shop and bought two to add some life to your home."

"Thank you for your concern. Adding some greenery is a good thing; it brings life and the air quality will be better."

Ling Yun turned to look at her and made a low-pitched joke.

"But who will take care of these plants? I don't have the leisure or know how to care for them. Why don't you take care of them?"

"brush!"

Two blushes rose on Leilei's pretty face, and she gently punched Lingyun twice.

"Get lost! Who do you think I am? Do you think I'd come all this way to take care of your plants? Dream on!"

Ling Yun leaned closer and whispered teasingly:

"Hahaha, you'll soon find out who you are to me."

Upon hearing this, Leilei's face turned even redder, but she couldn't help but smile.

Amidst their banter and flirting, they arrived at the building entrance and went upstairs together.

Soon, Lingyun led Leilei into her home.

From the moment she entered the door, Leilei visibly tensed up, her pretty face flushed, and her eyes darting around.

She had just changed into slippers and was carrying two potted plants as she hurried toward the living room.

"Where should I put these two potted plants? How about on the balcony? But they can't be exposed to direct sunlight for long periods, and you need to water them frequently."

Seeing her flustered appearance, Ling Yun couldn't help but chuckle.

He changed into slippers and quickly walked over to Leilei's side.

He then reached out and took the two pots of flowers, gently placing them on the coffee table.

"Never mind the flowers for now, Leilei, I have something I want to tell you."

Leilei looked down at the floor shyly, her pretty face flushed as if it were stained with blood, and even her neck and ears were blushing.

Two fair, delicate hands gripped the bag straps tightly, looking nervous and a little lost.

Deep down, I felt both excited and expectant!

"Isn't this guy going to confess his feelings? Isn't it too fast? How should I respond?"

The next moment, Ling Yun suddenly reached out and pulled her into his arms.

"Leilei, although we haven't known each other for very long and don't know each other very well, I'm not stupid. I understand your feelings for me!"

"You're incredibly beautiful, and you have a wonderful personality—gentle and considerate. I really like you! It just so happens we're both single, so why don't we give it a try?"

At this point, his voice suddenly became even gentler.

"Will you be my girlfriend?"

At this moment, their bodies were pressed tightly together, extremely intimate.

Leilei was wearing only a thin silk dress, but her figure was quite voluptuous, curvaceous, and alluring.

Ling Yun could clearly feel her graceful curves, and after being a monk for three months, he shamefully became aroused.

"You big bad guy, you're poking me!"

Leilei gave a shy and indignant cry, gently punching Lingyun's back with her small hand, but did not push him away.

Instead, she snuggled closer to him like a kitten.

Her cheek pressed against his chest, she felt his strong heartbeat, like drumbeats striking her heart.
