Bai Qianyue leaned back in her chair with great relaxation.

She looked at Dai Yuqian, her tone even carrying a hint of a smile.

She said:

"That's normal, young lady. Anyone would find it hard to believe if they suddenly heard someone was going to give them enough money to last a lifetime."

Bai Qianyue paused for a moment.

Her tone became slightly more serious.

She continued:

"But you don't need to worry too much. I'm willing to give you this money not because you're worth that much."

"It's because the person you can help me get is worth far more than this money. Far, far more."

After saying these words, Bai Qianyue stood up from her chair.

She looked down at Dai Yuqian, who was still sitting there, and said one last thing:

"However, all of this is predicated on you being able to reconcile with Meng Han. If you can't do that, then all our agreements are meaningless."

After saying that, Bai Qianyue didn't look at Dai Yuqian again.

She turned around and quickly walked out of the coffee shop.

The coffee shop became very quiet again.

Only Dai Yuqian remained sitting at the table.

She gripped the tablet tightly with both hands.

She looked down at the black screen of the tablet.

Her own face was reflected on the screen.

Her gaze was gradually becoming more resolute.

She knew perfectly well what Bai Qianyue had asked her to do.

She was well aware of the consequences of doing that.

But these things are no longer important to her now.

The important thing is that she now has this video in her hands.

With this video, she had a chance to get back to Li Menghan.

As long as she can return to Li Menghan's side, as long as she can once again become the woman sitting in the passenger seat of the Ferrari.

Then, she would finally receive the money that Bai Qianyue had promised her—enough to last her a lifetime.

Dai Yuqian stood up.

She carefully placed the tablet into her bag.

Then she walked out of the coffee shop.

The sun is shining brightly outside.

She stood on the street and took a deep breath.

She looked up at the sky above her.

Her gaze became very firm.

……

After Li Menghan and Fan Xi walked out of the Taizixuan Restaurant, they took the elevator down to the underground parking garage together.

They walked up to the red Ferrari LaFerrari.

Li Menghan opened the passenger door and let Fan Xi get in first.

Then he went around to the other side and got into the driver's seat.

Both of them fastened their seat belts.

Just as Li Menghan was about to start the car, Fan Xi, who was sitting next to her, took out her phone.

She tapped the screen a few times, then turned to look at Li Menghan and said with a smile:

"Oh, by the way, I just wanted to tell you. I edited all the photos you took for me yesterday after I got home last night. I uploaded them to Little Green Book this morning."

Fan Xi held up her phone screen in front of Li Menghan so he could take a look.

She went on to say:

"If you have time, you can check it out; it already has several hundred likes."

Li Menghan glanced at the photos on Fan Xi's phone.

He discovered that the photos, after being edited by Fan Xi, were indeed much better looking than the original photos he had taken.

However, he still felt that his filming was not very good.

Li Menghan scratched her head, somewhat embarrassed, and said:

"My photography skills weren't very good yesterday. I didn't get many angles right, please forgive me."

When Fan Xi heard Li Menghan say that, she immediately shook her head.

She put away her phone, looked at Li Menghan, and told him very seriously:

"Don't be modest anymore. Your photography skills are really good. I noticed it when I was editing the photos last night; the quality of your photos is extremely high. I barely touched them in post-processing; I just adjusted the colors and brightness a little and it was done."

When Li Menghan heard Fan Xi praise him like that, his face turned slightly red.

He smiled and said to Fan Xi:

"This is the first time a girl has complimented my photography skills."

After saying that, Li Menghan thought about it for a moment.

Strictly speaking, this should be the second time.

Fan Xi had already praised him once yesterday afternoon when they took photos under the white cherry blossom tree.

Fan Xi looked at Li Menghan, tilted her head, and asked:

"Really? Has no girl ever complimented your photography skills before?"

When Li Menghan heard this question, he fell silent for a moment.

Then he shook his head and said with a touch of wistfulness:

"No, not really. I had a girlfriend before, and she used to like me taking pictures of her when we went out. But no matter how I took the pictures, she was never satisfied. Every time I finished taking them, she would criticize me, saying that the angle was wrong, that her face was too big, or that her legs were too short."

Li Menghan sighed and then said:

"So I always thought my photography skills were really bad."

Fan Xi listened quietly to what Li Menghan had to say.

She thought for a moment, then looked at Li Menghan and said with a smile:

"Is it possible that it's not that your photos are bad, but that she herself doesn't know how to take photos, so she simply doesn't know how to guide you in taking them? Since she can't guide you, of course she won't be satisfied with the photos she takes?"

Fan Xi continued:

"Think about it. Yesterday afternoon, when I was standing under those cherry blossom trees, didn't I tell you step by step how high to raise the camera, how far to stand, and what pose to strike? You followed my instructions exactly, and the photos turned out great, didn't they?"

After listening to Fan Xi's analysis, Li Menghan thought about it carefully.

Indeed it is.

Yesterday, when Fan Xi was teaching him how to take photos, she explained every step very clearly.

She would tell him where the camera should be positioned, how far away it should be, and which direction the light should come from for the best effect.

Under her guidance, he did indeed take some very good photos.

However, when Dai Yuqian asked him to take photos before, Dai Yuqian herself didn't know anything about taking photos.

She would just stand there and strike a pose, then let him take pictures as he pleased.

After the shoot, if you're not satisfied with the footage, you immediately start criticizing his poor technique.

She had never patiently told him how to take better photos like Fan Xi had ever done.

Li Menghan nodded and said to Fan Xi:

"What you're saying makes a lot of sense."

Fan Xi laughed happily after hearing this:

"Haha, of course. If the other person doesn't even know how to take photos, how can she guide you, the photographer, to take better pictures? So, it's not that your skills are bad, it's that no one has taught you."

Looking at Fan Xi's smiling face, Li Menghan felt a warm feeling in his heart.

He hesitated for a moment, then asked:

"Hey, wanna go out and have some fun this afternoon?"

Fan Xi tilted her head and thought for a moment after hearing Li Menghan's invitation.

Then she shook her head with some regret and replied:

"I'm afraid I can't make it this afternoon. I have to go back to school this afternoon to prepare some things, since school officially starts the day after tomorrow."

Fan Xi paused for a moment, then continued:

"But if you really want to go out and have fun, tomorrow should be an option."

Hearing that it might not work today but it could work tomorrow made Li Menghan quite happy.

He smiled, nodded, and said:

"Okay, it's a deal then, we'll go out and have fun tomorrow."

He started the car and then said:

"Then I'll take you back to school first."

Fan Xi nodded:

"it is good."

Just as the car was about to drive off, Fan Xi suddenly asked another question:

"By the way, what about you? Aren't you going back to school this afternoon? I heard the exams for freshmen are pretty tough. Don't you need to go back early to prepare?"

When Li Menghan heard this question, he didn't know how to answer it for a moment.

He couldn't very well start by saying he had nothing to do in the afternoon and was planning to continue wandering around outside.

If that happens, Fan Xi will definitely say he's not studying hard enough.

So Li Menghan made up an excuse:

"Oh, I have some things to take care of this afternoon."

Fan Xi didn't press him to ask what he was going to do.

She simply smiled and nodded, saying:

"Okay, then I wish you all the best."

Li Menghan stepped on the gas, and the red Ferrari LaFerrari slowly drove out of the underground parking garage, heading towards Han City University.
