Damn!!
Hong Dali felt as if ten thousand alpacas were galloping through his heart. He was furious.
The reason Lin Chuyin’s father had approached him so arrogantly was to ask him to get Chuyin pregnant.
What kind of situation is this?!
Although Chuyin’s father has ample reason to ask, and I am the most suitable person to do so, is it not perverted to ask such a question straight out? No matter what, I’m an upright gentleman! Are you trying to tempt me into committing a crime?
Although his thoughts were turbulent, he did not show his real emotions. Hong Dali rubbed his chin thoughtfully and said haltingly, “This is a difficult problem… Uncle Lin, you know that I already have a fiancée…”
“I know the situation you are in.” Lin Jiayun sighed softly, “That’s why I’m not forcing you. Just do your best. Anyway, there is still time. Our Chuyin has only just turned eighteen now.”
Hong Dali said desperately, “The problem is, I would like to live for a few more years…”
Even if Hong Dali was slow-witted, he knew what would happen if he tried to come on to Lin Chuyin. The outcome was likely to be goodbye. He had to try to explain it or he would probably need to transmigrate again!
Lin Jiayun said he knew again. “I know.” This time, he finally revealed a secret that was not really a secret. “Chuyin is interested in machinery and firearms. If you don’t mind, you could work on that angle and get closer to her. She doesn’t hate you now, so you have a higher chance of success. The possibility of success is at least 85%.”
Damn! It was no wonder Chuyin turned out as she did. It was definitely hereditary. By asking Dali to come on to his firearm-loving daughter, was he sure it would not lead to the end of the world?
“I… I will try my best…” Hong Dali said in despair. “Hopefully, I will be able to stay alive…”
Lin Jiayun stood up. He patted Hong Dali’s shoulder and said gravely, “Yes, I will leave it to you to save Chuyin. I will try my best to make things easy for you. At the very least, I will settle things with the police.”
Make things easy for me. Am I to hit on the girl by royal decree?
Wait, you’ll settle things with the police?
My god, you mean even if I were to force myself on her, you will not call the police?
Hong Dali was completely stunned by what he heard. “That… Are you that anxious? We should at least develop a relationship slowly…”
Lin Jiayun said slowly as he walked away, “I’m worried Chuyin will lose her emotions completely as she gets older. Do it quickly while she still has some liking for you. I have no idea what Chuyin will become if more time passes. Sigh.”
When Lin Jiayun finally stepped out of the cafe, Hong Dali felt as if he had lost all his strength. He said, deflated, “What was that about…”
Li Nianwei smilingly said, “Young Master, actually, Chuyin is rather pretty. If Young Master were to… I think Miss Muxin would not mind too much.” She blushed and continued in a low voice, “I don’t think anyone else would mind either.”
“We will not discuss whether she would mind or not now,” Hong Dali said forlornly. “The main thing is, I cannot bring myself to do it. I’m quite prim and proper…”
Li Nianwei sighed helplessly.
Young Master may not show it, but he was actually quite devoted when it came to relationships. Even she would probably be unable to escape if it were any other hedonist. Hong Dali, however, had never behaved inappropriately. It was because of this that she was willing to be familiar with him.
It was no wonder he was feeling troubled. Lin Chuyin did not have much in the way of feelings now. It would not be hard if Hong Dali really wanted to come on to her. He had a high chance of success if he were to drug her or something. But Hong Dali really did not want to do something like that.
Li Nianwei pondered and asked, “Young Master, where should we go now? Back to the laboratory to look for Miss Chuyin?”
Since he couldn’t figure out what to do, he would simply not think about it. “Forget it, I will not think about it anymore.” This was one of Hong Dali’s strengths. The matter regarding Lin Chuyin was very troublesome; mainly because Hong Dali had no idea how he would face Lin Chuyin after hearing what Lin Jiayun said. Therefore, he decided that he would not return to Chenhui Building yet. Instead, he would find some other means of de-stressing. “If we go back now, I will feel embarrassed. Sister Nianwei, let’s go shopping.”
Li Nianwei was like an ever doting big sister. “Ok.” She smiled and held Hong Dali’s hand. “We will go wherever Young Master wants to go now.”
Hong Dali sniffled. “Yes, let’s go out for a walk. I have not gone shopping in a long time. Let’s go see if there is anything fun.
“Okay.”
The two of them went outside. The streets were filled with people and were very crowded.
The West Fourth Loop area had gone through a series of transformations recently. Many were thinking of ways and means to move into the area. As the prices of the real estates skyrocketed, the amount of human traffic in the area had also increased.
Hong Dali looked at the surrounding human traffic, eyes wide and at a loss for words. “Sister Nianwei, it’s only been a few days since I was here. The changes… are so drastic? I recall there weren’t so many people here previously.”
The two of them could be considered as being out undercover in plainclothes today. Hong Dali had only brought Li Nianwei, his pillow, along today as he was meeting Lin Jiayun, so they were not so ostentatious. Most people did not notice who they were. The main thing was, both of them were wearing sunglasses and dressed relatively simply. Thus, they were not attracting too much attention.
Li Nianwei explained, smiling. “Ever since Big Turtle was found, many people have bought houses here. Young Master holds a lot of free events here, and so the popularity of the area has risen.”
“Oh… that’s the reason…” Hong Dali glanced around and suddenly spotted a little boy playing with a remote control car. He suddenly thought of the new skill he had attained—machine breakdown, assembly, and transformation. There was nothing he could de-construct now, but the thought of putting together a perfect remote control model… just thinking about it gave him intense feelings.
The more Hong Dali thought about it, the more excited he got. He rushed over to the little boy. When Dali was in front of him, he asked, “Little boy, what’s your name?”
The little boy had nice features and was quite good looking. His complexion was fair with hair in a bob cut. The boy, who was about ten years old, turned his head and looked at Hong Dali. He smiled and said, “Hello, big brother and big sister. My name is Wang Mo.”
“Oh, Wang Wang…” That sounded kind of weird, so Hong Dali quickly rephrased. “I mean, Mo Mo, where did you buy your remote control model from? Was it expensive?”
Wang Mo was playing with a wireless remote control car. The car was intricately made, but its price was limited by its size.
80 yuan should be a reasonable price.
Wang Mo pointed to a nearby toy shop as he played with his toy. “It was not expensive. You can get it for 80 yuan. I bought it in that shop over there. Big brother, do you like remote control cars too?”
Hong Dali nodded. “This… I guess so. How much is the most expensive model at that shop?”
Little Wang Mo perked up when he heard that. “The most expensive one? The most expensive one is probably about 10,000 yuan. I think it’s a model plane. I heard that it can really fly into the sky. It’s so cool!”
Hong Dali suddenly perked up! “Really?”
Model plane? It can fly up to the air! If he could remake it into a perfect specimen…
Why did he not think of such a good idea in the past?
Since there was something so fun, what was he waiting for? Hong Dali pulled Li Nianwei’s hand and broke into a run. “Let’s go buy a model plane!”
Wang Mo’s eyes lit up. “Big brother, are you really going to buy it? Can you bring me with you? I have been drooling over that model plane for a very long time. However, it’s too expensive. I cannot bear to ask my mother to buy it for me.”
This kid.
Hong Dali stopped immediately and chuckled. “Mo Mo, where is your mother? I have to greet her first before you can go out to play with me. Otherwise, she will worry.”
Wang Mo pointed at a shop nearby. “Oh, My mother is other there.” He said, “That cosplay costume shop belongs to my family. The clothes inside are all very nice!”
Cosplay costume shop? This is good!
Hong Dali immediately went to the shop with Wang Mo and Li Nianwei. As he walked, Hong Dali said, “Mo Mo, your family’s shop is newly opened? Business is not bad!”
Wang Mo tilted his head proudly. “That goes without saying! It was all thanks to Brother Dali’s great idea. Ever since the gaming fest, my mother thought that it would be profitable to sell these, so she opened a shop. We earn a lot of money every month!”
Li Nianwei couldn’t help but laugh behind her hand when she heard this.
This little kid still had no idea that the man in front of him was the super clever big brother!
Hong Dali was a little embarrassed after hearing the little boy praise him. “Ah, haha, haha, not so, not so.” He laughed as he said, “I actually am not that clever, haha! Haha!”
When they entered the shop, they heard a young female voice call out, “Welcome, what would the two of you like to buy? Our little shop has all kinds of game and anime costumes. They are all direct from the factory and have a guarantee on quality.”
Hong Dali turned his head to look. It was a woman who looked to be about thirty years old, slightly above average looking. Her smile was bright and sincere. She probably had a good character, otherwise, little Wang Mo’s character would not be so lovable. Hong Dali smiled and said, “Yes, we are just here to take a look.”
The lady looked at Hong Dali, then looked at Li Nianwei. Finally, she looked at Wang Mo. “Mo Mo, these two… do you know them?”
Wang Mo nodded, then shook his head. “Mummy, I just got to know them. This big brother said that he wanted to go buy a model. I wanted to go with him, but big brother was afraid that you would be worried, so they came over to inform you.”
“This…” Her child wanted to go out to play with a person he had just met. It was inevitable that she would be worried. It was lucky that Hong Dali and Li Nianwei both looked amicable and well off. They did not look like human traffickers, so the woman was visibly relieved. However, she still shook her head. “Mo Mo, you have not finished your homework. Don’t go out to play. Otherwise, your teacher will reprimand you tomorrow.”
Wang Mo sulked and shrugged his shoulders helplessly. “Okay, then… Big brother, I won’t be able to go today.”
His cute demeanor made Li Nianwei smile. She took off her sunglasses and smiled at the woman. “Hello, I’m Li Nianwei. This is our Young Master Hong Dali. I believe you might have heard of us?”
