When his wicked ex-girlfriend beckoned him, CEO Li lost control!

Lin Zhixia clenched her fingers tightly, her heart pounding in her throat, her mind racing like a top.

If she is discovered, how should she explain herself and how should she respond?

She couldn't afford to panic before the other party made their intentions clear.

Lin Zhixia took a deep breath and asked calmly.

"Mr. Li, I don't quite understand what you're talking about."

Li Jingchuan reached out and opened the passenger door, tilting his head slightly towards her.

"Let's talk about it when we get up here."

Lin Zhixia's clear eyes trembled slightly involuntarily. She was being told to get in the car, but was the driver planning to take her directly to the police station?

After much hesitation, she decided not to panic. Lin Zhixia took a deep breath, opened the car door, and got in.

Li Jingchuan turned the steering wheel with one hand and turned to ask Lin Zhixia.

Where do you live?

Lin Zhixia became even more nervous, and her mind started to conjure up all sorts of scenarios.

Could it be that Li Jingchuan wants to follow along and see where Li Chengyuan is currently living with him?

"Um...it's quite far, in the suburbs."

Upon hearing this, Li Jingchuan continued to ask her, "Were you a childcare professional before? I heard from others that you haven't been at your institution for very long, and you're so young, yet you understand infants' needs better than some experienced childcare workers."

Hearing this, Lin Zhixia breathed a sigh of relief, and her expression relaxed considerably.

"Well... I often took care of my younger siblings when I was little, so I accumulated some experience. You could call it a talent. Sometimes when the kids cry, I instinctively know what they're going to do."

Li Jingchuan asked some more questions about Lin Zhixia's family background, but fortunately Lin Zhixia reacted quickly and managed to evade them all.

Before she knew it, they were near her home. Lin Zhixia dared not let Li Jingchuan take her any further inside. She saw the fruit stand in front of her.

"Mr. Li, just put me in front."

"it is good."

Li Jingchuan dropped Lin Zhixia off at the roadside, and Lin Zhixia thanked him after getting out of the car.

"Thank you for bringing me back."

"Okay, do a good job, we won't treat you unfairly."

Lin Zhixia watched Li Jingchuan drive away, then patted her chest, her tense expression finally easing.

"I was so scared, I thought we'd been discovered."

"What did you find?"

A deep, magnetic male voice sounded from behind, startling Lin Zhixia so much that she trembled violently. When she turned around and saw Li Chengyuan standing behind her, her face turned pale, and she stiffly opened her mouth.

"You...you weren't washing cars, why are you back?"

Li Chengyuan narrowed his eyes, gazing in the direction the Bentley had left, recalling what his colleague had said earlier.

"How come your girlfriend was brought back by a man? That car is ridiculously expensive. Even if we washed it 24 hours a day for decades, we still might not be able to afford it."

"Hey Yuan, did your girlfriend hook up with a rich guy? You need to be careful. There are women like that these days who spend your money while trying to hook up with other rich men."

"Dude, I'm just reminding you, don't end up losing both your money and your partner."

But Li Chengyuan remained calm.

"My girlfriend isn't like that. Although she likes shopping, it's her only hobby. It's because I'm not capable enough to give her a good life."

If she really does choose to be with a rich man, he won't blame her.

Seeing that he was absent-minded, Lin Zhixia raised her hand and waved it in front of him.

"What's wrong with you?"

Li Chengyuan snapped out of his thoughts, a fleeting darkness crossing his eyes before quickly disappearing.

"Um, who was that guy just now?"

Lin Zhixia's palms were sweating with nervousness. Looking at the mess the original owner had left her day by day, she had finally gotten through the previous one without any real danger, and now another one was coming.

She calmed herself down and asked tentatively.

"You...you saw that guy just now?"

But in Li Chengyuan's eyes, Lin Zhixia's guilty look meant she wanted to run away, but seemed too embarrassed to tell him directly.

"Yeah, driving a Bentley, that car must be very expensive."

Li Chengyuan's shoulders slumped, he looked listless, and his lips were downturned, as if he had suffered a great injustice.

But it doesn't affect his good looks at all; on the contrary, it makes people feel a little sorry for him.

Seeing Li Chengyuan's dejected look, Lin Zhixia didn't argue with her, but instead gave a slight smile.

"You...you didn't see what that man looked like?"

Li Chengyuan shook his head: "I didn't see it very clearly, but I know you really like that Bentley."

Lin Zhixia breathed a sigh of relief; as long as she couldn't see his face, things would be easier.

If Li Chengyuan sees her brother and finds him familiar, and then gives him a little provocation, she could be sent to jail early.

As long as she wasn't seen, that's fine. She needs to be more careful in the future and make sure Li Jingchuan never sees Li Chengyuan.

If these two brothers bump into each other, regardless of whether Li Chengyuan can remember or not, Li Jingchuan will surely recognize his own younger brother. If they trace the clues further, they'll be doomed.

She casually replied, "Of course, a Bentley, a nice car, who wouldn't like it? Let's go back."

After saying that, Lin Zhixia took the lead and walked towards the rented room.

Li Chengyuan stared in the direction the Bentley had just left and sighed.

"Yes, who wouldn't like it?"

Li Chengyuan suddenly remembered that his colleague had asked him earlier that day if he wanted to go racing, and that if he won, he would get five to ten thousand yuan.

He looked down and sent a message to Chen Xinghe.

I've taken on that race tonight, but they need to provide the car.

Chen Xinghe replied very quickly.

[Okay, bro! But what made you decide? I talked until my lips were hoarse all day and you still wouldn't agree.]

Li Chengyuan replied very frankly.

I want to earn more money for my girlfriend.

Chen Xinghe sent a thumbs-up emoji.

Brother, you're absolutely a role model for men. Your wife is so lucky to have a boyfriend like you.

But Li Chengyuan felt it was a blessing for him. Lin Zhixia had said before that no one outside would want an orphan like him who had no parents and could only live in a basement.

Moreover, she doesn't have any other bad habits; she just likes shopping, but she doesn't go out and do anything illegal or disorderly.

Isn't shopping all girls do?

What's wrong with that?

After confirming it, Li Chengyuan asked him again and again.

Is it safe?

His main concern was that if he got arrested, things would get complicated. He still had a job, part-time work, and loan repayments every month.

Chen Xinghe assured him.

Don't worry, that place has been open for a long time, it's protected by powerful figures, it won't be discovered.

【Row. 】

After sending the message, Li Chengyuan put his phone back in his pocket.

Back in the basement, Li Chengyuan saw that she had bought so many groceries, so he took them from her hands.

"What do you want to eat?"

He consciously put the vegetables into the kitchen, then put on his apron, completing the task in one smooth motion, as if it were a habit ingrained in his bones.

Just by seeing Li Chengyuan's series of actions, Lin Zhixia could guess that the original owner treated the male lead like a beast of burden, while she herself was lazy and did nothing but buy things every day.

She clearly intended to cook for herself, but based on the original owner's behavior towards the male lead, he probably thought that she bought so many groceries on purpose so that he would cook for her.

Lin Zhixia quickly stepped forward and snatched the celery from his hand.

"I learned how to make a dish on TikTok today, and I want to try it."

Upon hearing this, Li Chengyuan looked at her with some surprise: "You're going to cook?"

Lin Zhixia was taken aback. The original owner of this body had never lifted a finger in the kitchen, so cooking seemed a bit out of place for her character who had the airs of a princess but not the life of one.

She quickly changed her tune, saying, "I'm just so bored. I've been watching other people cook lately, and I wanted to try it myself."

Li Chengyuan didn't say much. Anyway, she did whatever came to mind. Sometimes she would do a live stream, sometimes a food broadcast, but most of the time it was just a passing fad.

"I'm going to take a shower now. Oh, by the way, do you want me to cook for you later?"
