Commorating how difficult it was to earn the first bucket of gold back then.
"I got it." Lin Zhenxin slipped on the ring; for matters like this, she wasn't the type to fuss unnecessarily.
"Do you need help?" She glanced at his hand on the steering wheel and asked nonchalantly.
Li Yanan gave her a look and extended his hand.
The platinum ring slowly slid past his slender knuckles, and Lin Zhenxin couldn't help marveling again at how beautiful his fingers were, making her feel ashad as a woman!
After putting on the ring, the two fell back into a wordless silence.
Lin Zhenxin turned her gaze out the car window. The weather was getting cold, and the sycamore leaves on both sides of the road had started to yellow.
A shrill phone ringtone broke the silence. Lin Zhenxin glanced at the phone; it was Lemon calling.
"Hello, Lin Zhenxin, where are you? Your house's water pipe burst! I was just about to look for you, and the property manager is right here beside ..."
Yao Lemon's voice exploded in her ear. Initially taken aback, Lin Zhenxin then let out a bitter smile.
"Do you have any tools at ho?" Li Yanan's voice ca through, and Lin Zhenxin didn't manage to cover the phone's mic in ti. Yao Lemon heard it loud and clear, and after a brief silence, a shriek blasted through the receiver.
"Lin... Zhen... Xin!"
Lin Zhenxin hurriedly hung up the phone, nodded, and then shook her head again.
"Only simple tools at ho." Probably not enough to fix a water pipe?
"There's a hardware store over there; I'll buy so. Don't worry." As he spoke, Li Yanan had already parked the car at the hardware store entrance.
As he unfastened his seatbelt and got out of the car, watching him walk away, Lin Zhenxin suddenly felt that...
Having an extra man around the house didn't seem as annoying as she once imagined...
When they arrived at the complex, Lin Zhenxin carried so items upstairs first and imdiately spotted Yao Lemon standing at the end of the stairwell, arms crossed over her chest!
With a face full of accusations!
Because the property manager was still there, she first threw a "let's wait and see" glance her way.
The water pipe burst suddenly, and when Yao Lemon arrived, water was already seeping down through the door fra. Fortunately, she had a spare key, and upon opening the door, she saw the old lady huddled on the sofa while water gushed from the bathroom.
She quickly turned off the main valve and then called Lin Zhenxin.
"Grandma..." Lin Zhenxin hurried to the sofa, looking at her grandmother, whose clothes were more than halfway soaked, her heart wrenching.
"Miss Lin, the main issue is your flood has damaged the downstairs ceiling..." the property manager hesitantly spoke.
"We'll take responsibility for the repairs!" A deep male voice ca from the open door, and Yao Lemon whirled around.
That's the voice!
When she clearly saw the other person's face, Yao Lemon drew eighteen sharp breaths!
Does such a man truly exist who can make himself look this astonishingly ugly?
This old-fashioned suit! This disheveled hairstyle! And those thick glasses from God knows how many years ago!
She desperately needed to look at so handso photos to cleanse her eyes!
"Uh... that's good... that's..." The property manager knows the situation of each resident, so who is this speaking?
"Go list and tally the damages to the downstairs tenants and report back to ," Li Yanan calmly instructed, though his words carried an undeniable authority.
The property manager was montarily stunned, then nodded repeatedly before leaving.
"Who are you?" Yao Lemon was dumbfounded. How did the tone change so drastically when this man spoke?
