"Hello, Miss sent me to open the door for you. Please, come in."
Wang Minli opened the door, a very kind smile on her face.
"Ah, thank you. I’m a friend of your miss. My surname is Li."
"Mr. Li, you can just call me Aunt Wang."
Wang Minli offered her own form of address.
"Aunt Wang, has Zijing woken up yet? I hope I’m not disturbing her rest."
After entering the gate of Villa No. 1, Li Yuexing finally remembered what time it was and felt a sudden pang of regret.
’If he disturbed Yun Zijin’s rest by coming this early, would she get angry and refuse to lend him the car?’
"Miss is already up. She should be having breakfast right about now."
Wang Minli said, walking ahead to lead Li Yuexing.
"That’s good. I was worried I’d be disturbing Zijing’s rest."
Hearing Li Yuexing call her "Zijing" with such familiarity again, Wang Minli frowned slightly. Most people wouldn’t use such an informal term of address.
’This man looks presentable enough, but he has absolutely no manners.’
’If someone with malicious intent overheard this, it could start some nasty rumors about Miss, which would be terrible.’
"Mr. Li, have you known my miss for a long time?"
Wang Minli began to subtly probe for information.
"Oh, we haven’t known each other long, but Zijing and I hit it off right away. It feels like we’ve known each other forever."
Ever since he saw Yun Zijin driving the Ferrari LaFerrari, Li Yuexing’s attitude toward her had changed significantly.
Wang Minli let out two hollow laughs, her smile not reaching her eyes, making it unclear whether she believed him or not.
Soon, the two of them crossed the front garden and reached the villa’s main door. Wang Minli opened it. "Please, come in, Mr. Li. Have a seat here for a moment while I go get Miss. Xiao Zhao, please make some tea for Mr. Li."
"Right away, Aunt Wang."
Wang Minli gave Li Yuexing a slight nod before heading toward the dining room to find Yun Zijin.
The maid, Xiao Zhao, quickly prepared the tea and placed it on the coffee table in front of Li Yuexing.
"Mr. Li, please have some tea."
"Thank you."
「In the dining room.」
"Miss, Mr. Li has arrived. He’s waiting for you in the living room."
Wang Minli informed Yun Zijin of the situation as soon as she entered.
"Alright, I know."
As it happened, Yun Zijin had just finished eating. She wiped her mouth with a napkin, stood up from her seat, and left the dining room.
In the living room, Li Yuexing was attempting to use his good looks to charm the maids into subtly giving him information about Yun Zijin.
However, he got absolutely nothing out of them. The maids had all been hired recently. Their knowledge of Yun Zijin was likely limited to the fact that she was an incredibly wealthy and beautiful woman; beyond that, they knew nothing.
"Mr. Li, why bother my staff? If you want to know something, you could have just asked me directly."
Yun Zijin appeared in the living room. Li Yuexing put on a casual smile. "When did you get here, Zijing? They said you were just having breakfast. I didn’t disturb you, did I?"
He was just curious; it wasn’t like he was trying to dig up any deep secrets.
"I wouldn’t call it a disturbance, but you came over so early. Don’t tell me it was just to borrow a car?"
’If so, Yun Zijin had to admire his passion for cars.’
"Of course! If I get the car an hour earlier, that’s one less hour I have to wait. I timed my arrival perfectly. You have to keep your word, Zijing."
’So it really was just to borrow the car.’
"I have things to do in a bit, so I can’t keep you."
Yun Zijin had a spending task to complete today; she couldn’t waste too much time on Li Yuexing.
"You’re the best, Zijing! I’ll treat you to a meal next time I’m free!"
Li Yuexing took the keys from Yun Zijin’s hand and eagerly ran over to the Ferrari LaFerrari. With an excited expression, he took out his phone, walked a full circle around the car while filming a video, and sent it to their four-person group chat.
[Handsome Li-li-li-li-li: [video.mp4] Live from Zijing’s underground garage!! ´_>`Cool]
[Mr. Fu: Do you have any idea what you’re saying?]
[Sheng: Someone’s asking for a beating.]
[L: ...]
Seeing the six-dot ellipsis from Lu Yunque, Li Yuexing finally remembered what he was doing.
He had gotten carried away with excitement from borrowing the car he’d been dreaming of and had completely forgotten the most important thing.
Li Yuexing could only leave them on read and play dead.
"Zijing, I’ve got something to take care of at the office, so I’ll be going now. I’ll have the car back to you in a couple of days."
With that, Li Yuexing deftly slid into the car, started the engine to warm it up, and hit the gas, all in one smooth motion.
Only after Li Yuexing had driven the car out of the underground garage did Yun Zijin take the elevator back up to the first floor of the villa.
Since she needed to go out but didn’t feel like getting ready herself, Yun Zijin called Cheng Jun over to do her styling.
Because it was for a casual outing, the look was much simpler than for a banquet, taking only two hours in total.
"You’ve really gotten more and more skillful."
Yun Zijin looked at her reflection in the mirror, feeling as if she had become even more beautiful.
Just as she finished getting ready and was about to head out, Yun Zijin’s phone rang again.
