Top Grade Immortal Emperor in the Flower City

"I...I'll think about it,"

Lin Hua's face turned a bit pale.

Although he was wealthy, that money belonged to his family, and 1 million wasn't a small amount just for Lin Hua himself.

"No need to think it over, I'll make the choice for you,"

Ye Ling smiled slightly and picked up a teacup from Lin Hua's desk.

"What...what are you going to do?"

Lin Hua's face changed instantly, showing panic.

"I'm giving you a second option," Ye Ling said innocently.

Lin Hua clenched his teeth and said, "Ye Ling, this is the Global Financial Center. If anything happens, it'll be in the news tomorrow, you better stay calm."

"I'm calm enough,"

Ye Ling shrugged, then added, "Besides, yesterday I beat you up so badly, even when the cops came, no reporters showed up! Now I'm puzzled, is it because I'm too handsome and even journalists don't dare to come near me?"

"Pfft!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Meimei and the others immediately burst out laughing.

But Ye Ling was indeed very handsome, something all the girls around acknowledged.

If it was just about looks, these girls all really liked Ye Ling; after all, he was pleasing to the eye.

Too bad, this guy's fashion sense was definitely a loser, being good-looking wasn't much use in today's society!

Only Wang Meimei and a few others knew that Ye Ling had easily made nearly twenty thousand yuan from them the day before.

"I'll give you one last chance, which will it be?"

As he spoke, Ye Ling lifted the teapot as if he was about to strike.

"I'll pay! I'll pay the money!"

Lin Hua broke out in a cold sweat, he dared not confront Ye Ling physically, because Ye Ling was way out of his league in terms of strength.

Upon hearing Lin Hua's words, Ye Ling immediately smiled, revealing a set of sunny, bright white teeth.

"You're still quite smart,"

Ye Ling patted Lin Hua's shoulder and said with a laugh, "My bank account number is XXXX… Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, account holder's name is Ye Ling, transfer the money, will you? I'm waiting for you."

Lin Hua immediately took out his phone and made a call to his mother.

It was a long conversation and it was unclear what exactly was said, but half an hour later, Ye Ling received a banking notification.

1 million had been transferred.

"As expected of the boss of Peninsula Restaurant, the banks are closed and still, you managed to transfer the money so quickly,"

Ye Ling showed a satisfied smile.

"I'll let you off this time, but if you dare to mess with me again, it won't be as simple as 1 million, got it?"

"Mm."

Lin Hua nodded, but his expression was dark enough to drip water.

Ye Ling knew that this guy definitely was not holding back any good intentions.

However, Ye Ling wasn't afraid of him. He would deal with whatever came his way, and what he really feared was running out of money to spend.

Lin Hua left directly, not even staying for overtime. It seemed he wouldn't be continuing to work here in the future.

Watching him leave, Ye Ling sneered and said to Liu Qiao'er, "Go ahead and eat, but this wasn't made by me, it's bought from a street stall."

"Hey handsome, with your casual talk of hundreds of thousands, can't you dine at some upscale place and buy some good food for your girlfriend? What if our beautiful Liu ends up with a stomachache?" Wang Meimei teased.

"Those fancy places don't necessarily serve food that's tastier than the street stalls, and if she does get a tummy ache, I can rub her belly for her,"

Ye Ling laughed as he looked at Liu Qiao'er.

"You jerk!"

Liu Qiao'er's face turned crimson, her adorably dazed expression made Ye Ling laugh heartily.

It wasn't until around 10 o'clock that Liu Qiao'er and the others got off work.

After tidying up the desk, Liu Qiao'er happily linked arms with Ye Ling and walked toward the exit.

However, as they entered the elevator, they ran into Han Qingxin.

Seeing how close Liu Qiao'er and Ye Ling were, Han Qingxin didn't know why, but she suddenly felt a bit displeased.

"You two, could you show a little class? There's a way to flaunt your relationship, you know?" Han Qingxin said.

Hearing this, Liu Qiao'er hastily let go of Ye Ling's arm.

Wang Meimei laughed and said, "Director Han, you're not jealous, are you? Why don't you mind when Xiao Li and others show affection here?"

Han Qingxin was taken aback, her face reddening slightly as she glared at Wang Meimei.

But Wang Meimei was unfazed, especially since it was after hours, and besides, Han Qingxin wasn't that scary of a person.

Ye Ling glanced over Han Qingxin and chuckled, "What's the matter? Can't I pick up my wife without you getting involved?"

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Liu Qiao'er quickly punched Ye Ling.

"Your wife?"

Han Qingxin curled her lips and said, "You sure move fast. Just don't forget, you're still my bodyguard, and I've paid you."

Ye Ling shrugged his shoulders, saying nothing.

When the elevator reached the first floor, Han Qingxin stepped out and said, "I'll call you tomorrow morning, help me with something."

"I'm not free tomorrow."

"Then the day after tomorrow."

"The day after might not work either."

Han Qingxin immediately spun around, glaring at Ye Ling, "You big hooligan, will accompanying me for a bit kill you? Besides, this is part of your job. Are you going to back out now?"

Ye Ling was taken aback and said, "Are you asking me to help you with work, or just to accompany you for a bit?"

Realizing her slip, Han Qingxin quickly walked outside, adding, "To help with work!"

"Fine, I'll call you if I have time."

Han Qingxin didn't even respond, walking away without looking back.

"Ye Ling, Qing Xin seemed so strange today…" Liu Qiao'er said naively.

"You little fool, better keep an eye on your boyfriend. Who knows, someone might snatch him away someday."

Wang Meimei gently tapped Liu Qiao'er's head and shook her head resignedly as she left.

This idiot, can't she see why Han Qingxin was behaving like that?

Liu Qiao'er, with her mouth gaped open, stood there for a moment before asking, "Ye Ling, what did Meimei mean by that?"

Ye Ling: "…"

...

So the two of them ambled back home.

Liu Qiao'er patted her belly and pouted, "I'm hungry again…"

Ye Ling was exasperated, but since this girl had a strong appeal, he went ahead and made some more food.

Luckily, Ye Ling had bought some extra groceries; otherwise, there wouldn't have been much at home to eat.

"Shall we go to your house again tomorrow afternoon? I'm planning to buy a car in the morning. We can't always take the bus, and this way, at least I can pick you up and drop you off," Ye Ling said.

After swallowing the food in her mouth, Liu Qiao'er replied, "But you took so much money from Lin Hua, won't he accuse you of robbery?"

"He wouldn't dare."

Ye Ling snorted coldly, "Besides, even if he did accuse me, it would be useless. Have you forgotten how I got out today?"

"Speaking of which, I really owe Han the beauty a big thank you."

"Oh…"

Liu Qiao'er seemed somewhat displeased, and as for why, who knows.
