Lin Zhixia blushed at his words and raised her eyebrows slightly as she looked at him: "Li Chengyuan, where did you learn all this? What I mean is, there are two straws here, we can drink together."

Li Chengyuan saw that her fair and clear skin was covered with a light pink tinge, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, his long eyelashes trembling slightly.

A slight stirring in his heart led him to reach out and gently rub her fluffy head.

"I was just kidding. When did you become so reserved? Didn't you used to say you were very open?"

Lin Zhixia was speechless for a moment, and it took her a while to finally manage to utter a few words.

"Can...I become a better person?"

Li Chengyuan looked her up and down and nodded in approval.

"It has indeed changed a lot."

Lin Zhixia felt uncomfortable under his gaze and quickly reached out to put the milk tea into his mouth.

"Even drinking can't shut you up."

Li Chengyuan was forced to take a sip of milk tea; the sweet aroma of strawberries spread between his lips and teeth, leaving a pleasantly sweet taste.

A smile flickered across his face.

"Okay, you can have it and drink it. I'm dirty, so don't get too close to me."

Lin Zhixia looked at his face, which was as black as a lump of coal, but it still couldn't hide his superior features. Sure enough, God had blessed him with good looks; even like this, he was still unbelievably handsome.

She didn't dare let Li Chengyuan stay here for too long; if the Li family saw him, her good days would be over.

"You should go back now."

"I'll be waiting for you at home; I'll give you a surprise."

Lin Zhixia didn't care about any surprises at the moment; she was just glad there were no shocks. She quickly pushed him to walk outside.

"Let's go back quickly, it's so hot."

Just as Lin Zhixia breathed a sigh of relief after watching Li Chengyuan leave, an elderly voice suddenly came from beside her.

"Xiao Lin, that figure from behind looks so familiar, like Young Master Li."

Startled, Lin Zhixia turned her head and saw Wang Jingshan standing beside her, his gaze fixed on the direction Li Chengyuan had left.

Her pupils trembled slightly, and she immediately stepped in front of him, waving her hand: "Butler Wang, you're seeing things. That's my boyfriend. He's just a car washer. How could he possibly be that so-called young CEO of your Li family?"

Wang Jingshan stroked his chin, seemingly recalling: "But the back view really does look like him. But you're right, our little CEO Li, what a joke. He's been pampered since childhood, never lifting a finger, and he doesn't even change his own shoes. How could someone like that do such dirty work as dry cleaning cars?"

"Unless the sun rises in the west."

Hearing this, Lin Zhixia didn't know whether to feel proud or embarrassed.

The prince that others had raised for decades was transformed into a skilled fighter in the lower classes by the original owner in just a few months.

After finally getting off work, Lin Zhixia followed the Li family's car back to Beijing. On the way, Wang Jingshan casually said something to Li Jingchuan.

"Mr. Li, this afternoon I saw a man in our villa whose back looked like Mr. Li's."

Upon hearing this, Li Jingchuan's expression turned serious. He glanced at Wang Jingshan and his voice deepened.

Why didn't you stop them?

"I……"

"Mr. Li, that's my boyfriend. He works here."

Lin Zhixia was afraid that if Wang Jingshan said anything more, it would arouse Li Jingchuan's suspicion, so she quickly spoke up.

Li Jingchuan said thoughtfully, "I remember last time I said your boyfriend's voice sounds a lot like my younger brother's, his name is... Zhao Dachui, right?"

Lin Zhixia forced a smile and said, "Yes."

Li Jingchuan didn't say anything more after that.

With a heart full of trepidation, Lin Zhixia finally returned to Beijing. After quickly settling things with the young master, she left the Li family's old mansion.

When she got home, Lin Zhixia slumped into a chair and rubbed her throbbing temples. She felt like she was a spy every day, and she wondered if she would be scared to death one day.

Before she could even process her thoughts, the door was pushed open again from the outside, and Li Chengyuan came in carrying a large cardboard box that covered most of his body.

He struggled to cross the threshold, and Li Chengyuan opened the box and took out a brand new television.

Lin Zhixia stared in disbelief at the brand-new television set in front of her, then ran over and touched it with great affection.

"Li Chengyuan, where did you get the money to buy a television?"

"I've been working there these past few days, and the pay is pretty good. Plus, the boss thought I was doing well, so he gave me a bonus."

"No, no, that's too much of a waste of money. Don't you know our situation? We're in debt. Let's cancel it before it's installed."

"It's too late to get a refund. Besides, you're usually quite bored at home alone. Watching TV at home is better than just sitting around doing nothing."

As Li Chengyuan spoke, he began to study how to plug in the wires.

Lin Zhixia also knew that such a large appliance could not be returned.

What can we do but install it?

However, in order to prevent Li Chengyuan from acting willfully again, Lin Zhixia made a three-point agreement with him.

"You must tell me in advance if you want to buy anything in the future. I'll let it go this time."

I used to think the original owner was a spendthrift, but now I realize that even if Li Chengyuan had some money in his pocket, he wouldn't be able to save much.

Watching Li Chengyuan busy himself with everything for the family, she felt as if a huge stone was pressing down on her heart.

At first, she just wanted to get along well with Li Chengyuan and not provoke him to regain his memories.

But now, she's finding that this man is starting to intrude on her life, down to the smallest detail.

She had never been in a relationship before, let alone with a man like him.

Li Chengyuan was smart enough to install the TV himself after a little research, without needing to hire anyone. Plus, the house itself had Wi-Fi.

As soon as the television was turned on, the quiet room suddenly became filled with sound. Lin Zhixia looked around the room and inexplicably felt that it really did feel like a home.

Oh well, I've already bought it, so I might as well enjoy it.

She sat cross-legged on the bed and patted the empty space next to her.

"Li Chengyuan, come and watch with me."

Li Chengyuan took off his dirty work clothes: "You look first, I'm going to take a shower."

Lin Zhixia turned around and watched him walk towards the bathroom. Perhaps because of the intensity of his work, he didn't need to exercise specifically. His muscles were becoming more and more toned, but Lin Zhixia knew that this also meant that he was working too hard.

She suddenly felt a pang of guilt.

He could have stayed with his family and friends and continued being the young master, but he was tricked into coming to this place and thought he was born alone.

Knowing what kind of person she is, he still treated her with the utmost sincerity.

Although he didn't give her a good life, he did his best to present her with his most precious possessions.

Lin Zhixia felt that although she was not in jail, she was already a criminal.
