“What’s wrong? Are you very disappointed?”

Lu Qi stared intently at Bai Yi, afraid that he would miss the expression on her face. However, Bai Yi’s expression was normal, and she even looked a little relieved.

Bai Yi’s reaction puzzled Lu Qi. “Isn’t it good to marry into the richest family? You can enjoy endless glory and wealth and be domineering in Hai City.”

Bai Yi shook her head. “My dream is very small. I only want to live my own life. I want to eat my fill and have a good family. If there’s one thing I really want, I just want my sister to lead a good life.”

This answer was a little unexpected.

Lu Qi was used to seeing people currying favor with the powerful. All of them wanted to pull investments from him and obtain benefits from him in the name of their dreams. It was rare to see people with simple dreams like Bai Yi.

“But what’s so good about being the richest man? He’s thirty years old but he’s not married and hasn’t had any scandals. He’s either ugly or impotent.”

Lu Qi felt like he had been shot in the knee again. This woman liked to talk nonsense after drinking too much?

“Go home after you’re done eating.” His words were cold.

Bai Yi finished the last piece of food and burped softly. She got up and left with Lu Qi.

She did not notice Lu Qi’s cold expression after she said the last sentence.

“But, Mr. Lu, are you free tomorrow?”

Under the streetlights, their shadows were stretched out.

“What are you going to do?”

“To the market to buy something. I want to decorate the bedroom. Also, there are some electrical appliances that haven’t been prepared.”

“Electrical appliances?”

Lu Qi was puzzled. When he got his assistant to arrange construction on the house previously, he had installed all the appliances that he should have.

“Do you usually not do anything at home other than sleep? You don’t even have a Wi-Fi at home.”

The wireless network needed the user’s phone card or account to operate. He had not given these things to the assistant at that time, so he guessed that the assistant had not done it.

Only then did Lu Qi remember. However, he had never felt sorry for these phone bills. A few hundred yuan was nothing to him, but Bai Yi’s heart did ache.

That day, when she submitted the manuscript to the customer and uploaded the original painting, it was were 50 gigabytes. That was all money flowing out of her pocket.

“I often worked overtime late in the past. I didn’t think it was useful to install WiFi at home. If you need it, you can install it tomorrow. I’ll accompany you to buy things tomorrow.”

The next day, Bai Yi woke up early. Thinking of Lu Qi’s instructions yesterday, she prepared to make breakfast herself.

In the past, she used to cook breakfast for her sister’s family at her sister’s house every day. Now that she was cooking for Lu Qi, she was naturally able to do it easily.

In less than an hour, the delicious fish porridge, small steamed buns, and sweet osmanthus cakes were all placed on the table. A few fruits had also been cut into the shape of flowers.

Bai Yi had even prepared sandwiches and coffee. She did not know how to make these, so she followed a tutorial.

Lu Qi was woken up by the fragrance of food.

He put on his clothes and washed up before leaving. Bai Yi was already sitting at the table waiting to eat. The table was filled with food.

“We can eat this much?” Lu Qi frowned.

“We can definitely finish it.” Bai Yi looked at him. “I can eat a lot. Don’t worry. If I can’t finish it, I can leave it behind to heat up at night.”

Lu Qi frowned. He did not have the habit of eating leftovers in his Lu family.

He put the sandwich in his mouth. The rough texture made him feel slightly unaccustomed.

Bai Yi did not know much about making sandwiches had bought whole wheat bread with a rough texture. The bacon in it was also filled with a starchy taste and did not have that smoky fragrance.

Lu Qi finished his sandwich and drank a small bowl of fish porridge.

The fish porridge was very fresh, and the bones in the fish slices were carefully picked out.

“Don’t make sandwiches in the future. Just make this porridge,” Lu Qi said.

Bai Yi nodded. At least he complimented her culinary skills.

After eating, the two of them prepared to set off.

After Lu Qi changed his shoes, he saw that Bai Yi had been holding her phone and doing something.

“Aren’t you going to leave?”

Lu Qi leaned over to take a look. Bai Yi was looking at the balance in the bank card. There was about 120,000 yuan in it.

“You’re really good at saving money. Mr. Lu, it’s really impressive that you can save up more than a hundred thousand yuan even after buying such a huge house alone.”

Bai Yi’s tone was filled with sincere admiration.

In a place like Hai City, where every inch of land was worth gold, there was a popular saying: “Hai City’s money is spent in Hai City, don’t even think about bringing a single cent home.”

For people like Bai Yi, who could only earn ten to twenty thousand yuan a month, she could at most save four to five thousand yuan a month. Before this, these four to five thousand yuan had already been given to Bai Ying, so she did not have that much savings.

Lu Qi did not quite understand her logic. “In the future, when I get my salary, I’ll transfer money in. Just use it. There’s no need to save the money.”
