Chapter 109: Chapter 109: Might as Well Buy Pig’s Trotters

In this situation, how could Tang Xiaowan bring herself to resist? She could only obediently close her eyes and hope that Li Zishen would quickly adjust and get back to himself.

The car became much quieter.

Chen Xin was extra careful even when checking his phone, fearing that he might anger Li Zishen.

Just now, he had received a message from Bai Long.

The content was about the surveillance system in Bie Yuan being sabotaged and the black cellphone secretly placed on Madam Lai’s letter by the vegetable delivery person.

As he and Li Zishen had suspected, it was indeed Li Wanshan meddling again.

Actually, this was hardly surprising, as the troubles had begun ever since Tang Xiaowan arrived in Jin City. However, what shocked him was the emergence of a foreign female among the followers, who had private connections with the district manager of Wanhua Jewelry.

Why on earth would they follow Lady Tang?

Li Wanshan was trying to disconcert Brother Shen to take his place, but what was Wanhua plotting?

Surely they weren’t spying on Brother Shen’s preferences, hoping to start from Lady Tang, with the aim of expanding their business area in the mall?

Were they eyeing the plot belonging to Song Crystal?

No wonder the fake crystal incident caused such an uproar a few days ago. Was it Wanhua’s doing?

The more Chen Xin thought about it, the angrier he got. He had always been in charge of Yishen Mall, but such an incident had occurred, which made him feel that he had let Li Zishen’s trust down.

About fifteen minutes later.

Tang Xiaowan slowly opened her eyes and tentatively said, "Zishen."

"What’s wrong, Xiao Wan, can’t sleep?"

"We left in such a hurry this time, and you didn’t bring any pajamas. How about when we get to Qingcheng... we go shopping first and then go back to Mei Garden?"

"No problem, I like to sleep naked."

At these words, Tang Xiaowan was so embarrassed she didn’t know what to say.

What the heck, not wearing anything?

Oh, no, there should still be underwear.

What’s with this guy today, being so straightforward, is he stimulated?

After zoning out for a few seconds, she quickly closed her eyes again, but, embarrassingly, her head was inexplicably filled with the image of Li Zishen’s eight-pack abs.

His physique was robust, exuding a strong masculine presence.

At this moment, Tang Xiaowan wished she could dig a hole and bury herself. She was really embarrassed.

Although such thoughts only existed in her mind and disappeared in an instant, she always felt like Li Zishen knew about them; otherwise, he wouldn’t have patted the top of her head just now.

So, Tang Xiaowan bit her lip and timidly asked, "How much longer until we reach Qingcheng?"

Li Zishen’s lips curved slightly, "Are you hungry? Do you want to eat some fruit and pastries to tide you over?"

This limited-edition luxury car was naturally very spacious and also richly stocked with essentials—not only food but even toiletries and beverages like wine were readily available.

But Tang Xiaowan wasn’t eager for food at the moment.

She just felt that her current predicament was too awkward, standing up wasn’t right, lying down wasn’t right, so she wanted to find a casual topic to ease the tension.

"I’m sleepy, I’ll take a nap."

"Okay, sleep well."

After this conversation full of non-answers, Li Zishen’s feelings of loss suddenly improved a great deal, and his restless heart gradually calmed down.

His gaze settled on Tang Xiaowan’s ruby bracelet, and memories unfolded.

"Wow, Mr. Li, I didn’t hear wrong, did I?"

"No, do you accept?"

Tang Xiaowan pouted her lips high, took off the bracelet, shook it a few times, and then gently placed it back in the gift box.

"A proposal isn’t just about a ring, why prepare a whole set, and all rubies at that? You think you can buy me off with this?"

"Do you like it?"

"Wasteful, you might as well buy pig’s trotters."

At this thought, Li Zishen’s eyes suddenly crinkled with a smile.
