However, Zhou Yi couldn't possibly let the other party know.
After all, the other party was the Dragon King!
Who could possibly have such a title and be easy to mess with?
It's better to keep a low profile and stay quiet.
While staying quiet, completing more system-given tasks would be ideal.
Just as the two were chatting happily...
From the other side, Lin Wanru's impatient voice came through.
"Damn..." She almost spat, but quickly changed her tone.
"Uncle Yi, what were you two talking about for so long?"
Zhou Yi turned his head and found that Lin Wanru had returned to the car.
She rolled down the car window and was looking over.
"We..." Ye Nan Cheng was momentarily speechless, not knowing how to respond.
He didn't want Lin Wan Ru to know what he had just said.
Speaking like that would affect his image in Lin Wan Ru's eyes.
Zhou Yi also noticed this.
He cared a lot about Lin Wan Ru's opinion.
"Nothing, just chatting about family matters with that young man." Zhou Yi said without blushing or his heart racing.
Ye Nan Cheng looked at Zhou Yi gratefully.
Zhou Yi waved his hand, indicating that he shouldn't take it to heart.
"Uncle Yi, I have urgent business at the company, hurry up and get in the car!"
"Alright, I'm coming!"
Saying that, Zhou Yi said goodbye to Ye Nan Cheng.
Before leaving, Ye Nan Cheng still asked Zhou Yi to take good care of Lin Wan Ru.
Zhou Yi thought to himself.
Does this kind of thing even need you to say?
However, what method should I use to take care of her...?
Hehe, that's something I can't say.
After Zhou Yi got into the car, Ye Nan Cheng was about to turn around and leave.
Suddenly, through the car window, he vaguely saw Zhou Yi's face leaning towards Lin Wan Ru.
It looked like... he kissed her?
Ye Nan Cheng was instantly stunned.
What?!
What kind of situation is this?!
But in an instant, the two of them were sitting perfectly still behind the car window, without any strange movements.
Looking at it, there was nothing unusual.
"Did I... see wrong?" Ye Nan Cheng scratched his head.
He thought about it over and over, and that was the only explanation he could come up with.
Anyway, there was a sunshade over the car window.
It was perfectly normal to mistake her for someone else.
Besides, Ye Nan Cheng knew that Lin Wan Ru was always pure and innocent.
Her status as CEO was undeniable; how could she possibly be involved with a white-haired old man?
Ye Nan Cheng felt he was overthinking things.
He gave a self-deprecating laugh, then left the place.
...
Inside the car, Lin Wan Ru was both embarrassed and angry.
She hadn't expected that this rotten old man's actions just now would be so audacious!
What if someone else saw them?!
Not to mention, Ye Nan Cheng was right beside her.
Chu Yi's actions this time made her incredibly nervous, as if she were doing something that couldn't be revealed.
But Chu Yi was a thick-skinned old man.
According to what this old man said...
Anyway, what should and shouldn't have happened last night, everything happened.
Could there really be such a difference?
These words left Lin Wanru speechless, so angry that she gritted her teeth.
Hmph, you stinking old man, I'll definitely make you experience the feeling of being so angry that you grind your teeth!
Lin Wanru thought to herself.
Meanwhile, on Chu Yi's side...
Because of his recent actions, he received a system notification.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have activated a hidden function.]
[Infiltrating and communicating at a special location can earn you double the lifespan reward!]
This notification stunned Chu Yi.
What's going on?
Is this a system to encourage me to score points differently?
So now, on the bus, it's not like...
*Cough cough*, if not, I'll find an opportunity later...
Very quickly, the two arrived at the Minghai Pharmaceutical Company's office building.
Along the way, the employees greeted Lin Wanru warmly.
"Good morning, Ms. Lin!"
"Good morning, Ms. Lin!"
Lin Wanru politely responded.
However, after greeting her, the employees all looked at Zhou Yi with curious eyes.
At the same time, they were whispering amongst themselves.
"Look, who is that old man next to Ms. Lin?"
"I don't know, I've never seen him before."
"That old man looks like he's seventy or eighty years old?"
"I wonder what kind of relationship he has with Ms. Lin..."
At the entrance to the CEO's office, the secretary had already been respectfully welcoming Lin Wanru.
However, she was also very surprised by Zhou Yi.
"Ms. Lin, this gentleman is...?"
Lin Wanru explained Zhou Yi's identity again.
Only then did the secretary put aside her worries.
Upon arriving at the office, Lin Wanru immediately began working frantically.
She spent the entire morning on official duties.
By lunchtime, Lin Wanru felt utterly exhausted, lying on the sofa, unwilling to move.
She didn't even want to eat lunch.
"Ah, if it weren't for dealing with the inspection, I wouldn't be so tired..."
Seeing this, Zhou Yi proactively offered to treat her to lunch.
Lin Wanru immediately became wary: "Why are you suddenly being so kind?"
"Surely you don't have ulterior motives?"
"What kind of talk is that? Am I that kind of person?"
"You are, you are, you are!"
Zhou Yi threw his hands up: "Just tell me if you're going to eat or not."
"No! Even if I, Lin Wanru, starve to death and jump from here, I won't eat you..."
Just as she was speaking, her stomach suddenly started rumbling.
Lin Wanru immediately stopped talking.
She blushed, not knowing what to do.
Zhou Yi smiled, not continuing to tease her, but instead changed the subject: "You're very tired now, aren't you?"
"But I guarantee, as long as you eat the nourishing soup I made, your fatigue will be completely gone!"
To hide her embarrassment, Lin Wanru quickly replied.
"Are you serious?"
"When have I ever tricked you, old man?"
"Are there really no extra conditions?"
"Absolutely, you can rest assured!"
Taking the pot, Chu Yi immediately began cooking.
After all, with decades of experience living alone, he could still light a fire and cook.
Not to mention, he now possessed god-level medical skills.
Eating is also a form of medicine.
Therefore, making a pot of nourishing soup was as easy as pie.
It was also a good opportunity to test his god-level medical skills.
Chu Yi borrowed pots, bowls, and basins from the company's cafeteria, and in a short while, the nourishing soup was ready.
Then, he carried the pot back to the office.
Lin Wanru was starving, and scooped up a bowl to drink.
But as soon as she touched the bowl, she recoiled, feeling a little wronged: "Oh... It's so hot..."
Chu Yi smirked: "Drink slowly, no one's going to snatch it from you."
Even so, Lin Wanru still blew on the soup to cool it down while quickly finishing it.
Watching her speed, Chu Yi couldn't help but sigh.
Haha, she says she doesn't want it, but her body is still very honest!
Shouldn't he say it's delicious now?
After finishing the soup, Lin Wanru felt a warm sensation flow from her stomach throughout her body.
It seemed as if all her fatigue had vanished.
She felt completely revitalized.
She happily looked at Chu Yi: "I didn't expect your health-promoting soup to be so effective, I'm not tired anymore!"
"Moreover, it tastes delicious!"
Zhou Yi adopted a superior demeanor: "Of course, you should know who I am."
Just then, he heard a system notification.
[Ding! Lin Wanru's favorability +5, current favorability 15.]
[Warm reminder: Reaching 30 favorability will unlock the system's store.]
