Pursuing Her Best Friend after Confession Failed-Chapter 132 - 99: A person has two legs, straddling two boats

After hanging up the phone, Li Yuan gazed lustfully at Xia Zhijin, who was hiding quietly in the corner, and beckoned to her.

"Darling Zhijin, come here. Let’s continue."

Xia Zhijin shyly shook her head, her small hands clutching the hem of her clothes. Her feet seemed nailed to the floor as her body trembled. The scene that had just unfolded was even more embarrassing and frightening than what had happened at the cinema yesterday.

Her voice was faint, as if she were about to cry. She stared at Li Yuan, on the verge of tears, looking like a helpless little lamb cornered by a big bad wolf.

She had a very good impression of Li Yuan, even innocently willing to spend her entire life with him. Yet, despite her innocence, she felt things were moving too quickly. She wasn’t fully prepared.

This feeling is so sweet, but it also makes me scared and anxious. It feels like a dream, so unreal. Maybe one day, I’ll wake up and this beautiful dream will have shattered into pieces.

Xia Zhijin pursed her vibrant red lips. Her voice was weak, but her gaze was exceptionally firm.

"Li Yuan, please don’t be like this, okay? I’m a little scared."

Li Yuan couldn’t help but laugh. "Where is your mind going? I’m asking you to come over so I can teach you how to use the company account and manage its income and expenses. I’m not going to do anything bad."

Xia Zhijin asked dazedly, "Really?"

Li Yuan vowed earnestly, "How could I lie to you? Just come try it and you’ll know."

Only then did Xia Zhijin muster the courage to approach Li Yuan. Her body was ramrod straight and her head was lowered, afraid he might make another sudden move.

Li Yuan wrapped his arms around Xia Zhijin from behind. This time, he didn’t get handsy. He just quietly took her hands to help her operate the company’s accounting system.

"Zhijin, after logging into the company account, you can transfer money to each employee’s bank card or to the accounts of other companies we do business with..."

"Don’t get distracted. Relax a bit, and I’ll show you how to do it..."

"First, you need to enter the recipient’s company account number, bank card number, and so on..."

Seeing that Li Yuan wasn’t being improper, Xia Zhijin gradually calmed down. Her tense body slowly softened as she listened intently to Li Yuan’s hands-on lesson.

"Zhijin, type in your bank card number. I’ll show you a demonstration."

Xia Zhijin asked dazedly, "Huh? Enter my bank card number?"

Li Yuan said, as if it were the most obvious thing in the world, "It’s just the two of us here, and I have a bad memory. I can’t remember my own card number."

"Oh!" Xia Zhijin nodded lightly and obediently entered her bank card number into the transfer field. Her memory was very good, and she recalled her account number clearly and without error.

"Zhijin, you can verify the recipient’s name up here. Then, you just input the amount to transfer the money directly to their account."

While still holding Xia Zhijin, Li Yuan directly entered the number 30,000 into the amount field for her account and added a note: (September Salary).

Then, before Xia Zhijin could react, he clicked "Confirm."

At this point, no matter how dazed Xia Zhijin was, she understood what Li Yuan had just done. Her eyes widened as she looked at him, a blush once again creeping up her snow-white cheeks.

"Li Yuan, don’t transfer so much money to me! I don’t need it."

Li Yuan pinched her little cheek and leaned his head closer to hers, inhaling the scent of her hair with a smile.

"Zhijin, you’re the company’s lady boss. That’s a position, one that’s second only to me, the boss. Naturally, you have to draw a salary. From now on, you’ll be responsible for paying the other employees."

Xia Zhijin shyly lowered her head. "But I can’t use that much. The company has just started operating, and there are a lot of places where money is needed. I... I just need enough to eat."

Hearing this, Li Yuan’s heart warmed. Zhijin really is a good, frugal girl.

He affectionately ruffled her hair and pinched her soft cheeks. Adopting a serious tone, Li Yuan said, "Silly girl, you’re the company’s lady boss. You’re our public image. You need to dress beautifully every day, be happy, and spend money generously. That’s how you’ll boost the employees’ confidence in our company."

"This isn’t just for you. It’s for the company, and for me. Understand?"

Xia Zhijin suddenly let out a giggle. She gave Li Yuan a rare eye-roll. Hearing him come up with such high-sounding justifications, she felt deeply moved. He so clearly just wants to be good to me, but he always finds so many official-sounding reasons and never lets me refuse.

Xia Zhijin’s radiant smile left Li Yuan mesmerized, and he immediately leaned in to kiss her again...

After a long while, Xia Zhijin finally struggled out of Li Yuan’s embrace, her clothes in disarray.

Li Yuan, feeling he hadn’t had nearly enough, checked the time. It was almost three o’clock. Time sure flies when you’re busy with ’important matters’...

"Zhijin, a few of my old high school classmates are coming to meet up. Do you want to come with me?"

Xia Zhijin hesitated, her gaze shifting away. After thinking for a moment, she finally shook her head. Pursing her lips, she replied softly, "Li Yuan, I want to go back to school. I’ll go to the library and learn more about computers so I can help you in the future."

Li Yuan had wanted to take Xia Zhijin along to show her off in front of his good buddies. But on second thought, that would be a bit disrespectful to her. Since she didn’t want to go, there was no need to force her. There’ll be plenty of time for that in the future.

"Zhijin, since you like the Chinese Literature Department, just wait a little while. I’ll help you apply to switch your major. Or you could just add a second major—a double degree would work too."
