Transmigrated into a lewd little pervert, the crazy boss's kiss made his legs weak.

In the apartment, Li Yaoyao was leaning over the coffee table, flipping through a stack of printed documents.

The laptop screen displayed seven or eight webpage tabs, all listings for shop rentals in Beijing and quotes for pet medical equipment.

Ever since she overheard Qi Yuge and He Ming discussing the shortage of veterinary resources in the study that day, a thought had been swirling in her mind.

She used to be a veterinarian.

Although her diploma in this comic book world says Chinese Language and Literature, she hasn't lost any of her professional knowledge and clinical experience.

It's time to find a legitimate way out for myself.

She wants to open a pet hospital!

The idea was good, but reality was harsh.

She spent a long time pressing the buttons on the calculator.

Add up all the expenses, including rent, equipment, medicine, business registration, utilities, labor, and so on.

The numbers she received left her breathless.

Your foresight is excellent.

You need to reach ten million in-game currency to unlock the final storyline.

The system delivered a timely blow.

"Ten million."

Li Yaoyao buried her face in the pile of shop rental documents.

"Land in Beijing is extremely valuable, and my meager 80,000 yuan isn't even enough to pay for a year's utilities."

Why don't you contact Qi Yuge? Even a small fraction of his money would be enough for you to open three chain stores.

"...I should still have some self-respect; I've already embarrassed myself enough in his eyes."

Li Yaoyao flipped through the documents again.

Never mind, let's talk about it when we get back.

My depressed mood lasted until evening.

She was too lazy to cook, so she ordered takeout.

I ordered a meal for 10 yuan, but after using a 3 yuan coupon, I only paid 7 yuan, plus a 2 yuan delivery fee.

She specifically wrote in the notes, "Leave it at the door, do not knock, do not call."

The food delivery platform's notification showed that the food had been delivered, along with a photo taken by the delivery driver.

She lingered inside for quite a while before opening the door to get her food.

The door opened, and she looked down at the floor mat...

empty.

She looked around again, but the corridor was empty; there wasn't even a plastic bag in sight.

Unconvinced, she opened the delivery platform's notification image and zoomed in to see that it was indeed her doorstep.

"People living in a place like this would steal a ten-dollar meal?!"

Li Yaoyao stood at the door, voicing a profound question to the empty corridor.

She went outside and looked around the corridor, even peeking out of the fire escape.

The motion-sensor light above her head suddenly went out, plunging the entire hallway into darkness.

Li Yaoyao felt a chill on the back of her neck and quickly turned around to touch the doorknob.

Just as her fingers were about to touch the door lock, a strong force grabbed her waist from behind and lifted her up.

Then, he kicked the door open with one foot. The whole action was smooth and seamless, taking no more than two seconds from the darkness to entering the door.

Li Yaoyao struggled frantically, her arms and legs flailing wildly like a crab that had been caught in a fish trap.

The most piercing scream of his life erupted from his throat.

"Aaaaaah—you pervert—neighbors, please save me—"

This is where the disadvantages of social anxiety become fully apparent.

She's been living here for so long, and she hasn't spoken a single word to her upstairs or downstairs neighbors.

She became completely invisible in this stairwell.

"What are you yelling about?"

A deep, somewhat impatient voice sounded above her head.

Li Yaoyao's screams stopped abruptly.

She recognized him, and her struggling limbs slowly stopped.

At the same time, a furry creature with a fresh feather scent slipped through the gap between her arms and snuggled into her embrace.

It raised its head and nuzzled her chin with its beak.

When she looked, she saw it was Yan Yan.

She turned her head and glared at the man behind her, her voice switching from fear to questioning.

Why are you scaring me!

Then, in a low voice, she hugged the eagle that was snuggling in her arms.

"Ah~~ Yan Yan is here too~~~"

Qi Yuge released his arm from her waist, sat down on the sofa with an air of nonchalance, and crossed his legs.

Li Yaoyao followed them in, arm in arm with Yanyan: "Did you steal my takeout?!"

The man's tone was extremely disdainful: "I had Yanyan throw away your pig slop."

Li Yaoyao stood in the center of the living room, glaring angrily.

"Are you crazy? What am I supposed to eat then?!"

Qi Yuge glanced at her.

His gaze was indifferent, not fierce, but incredibly intimidating.

Li Yaoyao shrank back when he looked at her, and her anger level instantly dropped from 100 to single digits.

She hugged Yan Yan tightly and took a half step back, her voice softening, but she still stubbornly muttered something.

"...But you can't just throw away my takeout. I've already used the coupon, so I can't get a refund."

Qi Yuge stood up from the sofa, took a long stride to the kitchen, and opened the refrigerator door.

The refrigerator was packed full.

There are still quite a few of the vegetables and free-range eggs that Meng Xia sent.

He bent down and rummaged through the cabinet under the island to find a cutting board and a knife, then picked out a few ingredients from the refrigerator and arranged them in a row on the island.

Then he opened the cupboard, took out two aprons, and threw one of them at her.

"You'll be my assistant."

He spoke as he tied his apron, his tone leaving no room for refusal.

Li Yaoyao hurriedly caught the apron.

Looking at the "good family man" in front of me, wearing a dark blue apron and weighing a tomato in front of the island counter.

My eyes widened in disbelief.

"Can you cook?"

Qi Yuge glanced at her, said nothing, and lowered his head to start washing the vegetables.

The tap ran for a while, and he placed the washed tomatoes on the cutting board.

He twirled the cleaver in his hand, and when it fell, it produced a series of dense and even clinking sounds.

Li Yaoyao tied on her apron and stood next to the island counter, originally preparing to help.

But she pulled her hand back twice.

Once, I wanted to help chop scallions, but Qi Yuge had already chopped them and arranged them in a small dish.

Another time, when he wanted to help crack eggs, Qi Yuge had already cracked three eggs with one hand, tossed the shells into the trash can, and stirred the eggs rapidly in the bowl with his chopsticks.

She found that the only thing she could do was stand aside and not get in the way.

Then she watched as the man behind the counter skillfully heated oil in a wok, and the scallions sizzled as they hit the wok, filling the room with their aroma.

His one-handed tossing motion was fluid and graceful; the golden egg mixture tumbled in the wok before settling back down steadily.

Li Yaoyao sighed inwardly at the system.

"Aside from being a bit of a jerk, having a bad temper, some weird fetishes, and being a bit dirty, he's really impeccable in every other way."

So, are you planning to be with him?

The system asked the question directly.

"Of course not."

Li Yaoyao spoke righteously and sternly in her heart.

"I'm a 'clean' advocate. His romantic history is so long it could be written into a biography. I can't stand it."

Okay. But he clearly wants to get through to you. If you keep him hanging like this, you might mess things up.

"cut."

Li Yaoyao rolled her eyes inwardly, but dared not utter a sound.
