In the golden age, the beginning involves controlling Zhu Suosuo.

Lin Yi said, "I'm in a great mood today. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so I'll think it over carefully before I speak."

Wang Manni looked at Lin Yi, hesitant to speak.

"Speak," Lin Yi said.

Wang Manni said, "Brother Yi, there's something I need some money for."

Lin Yi smiled and said, "Money? That's easy to say. Considering how sensible you are, I have to give you some."

"But then again, didn't I just give you pocket money yesterday? Is it all gone already?" Lin Yi asked.

Wang Manni said, "I haven't used what you gave me yet."

"So you want money?"

Wang Manni said, "I want to buy a house for my parents in our small county town, and build a three-story house for our old home."

Lin Yi asked with a smile, "How much do you think is appropriate?"

Wang Manni said, "The housing prices in our area are very cheap. A house in the county only costs 45 yuan."

The three-story house we built should only cost around 300,000 yuan.

There are two reasons why Wang Manni's house is cheap.

First, her family lives in a remote small county.

Second, this was around 2009, far from the real estate boom of 2016.

Even the housing prices in Shanghai, like the penthouse of the Grand Hyatt Mansion near the Huangpu River, aren't that outrageous.

Lin Yi smiled and said, "You're quite filial. Okay, I agree."

"Wealth and honor without returning to one's hometown are like wearing fine clothes in the dark; if you don't let your parents know you're doing well, they'll worry so much."

Wang Manni smiled and said, "Thank you for understanding, Brother Yi."

Lin Yi looked at Wang Manni and asked, "I can give you the money, I don't care about that, but Manni, what will I get in return?"

“From now on, I belong to you, Brother Yi. I’ll do whatever you tell me to do,” Wang Manni said.

Lin Yi laughed and said, "Why do I get the feeling that you've sold yourself out for this money?"

Wang Manni said, "It's not that bad. I just think that following Brother Yi is a good way out."

And I feel that Brother Yi won't treat me unfairly.

"Well said, I'm really growing to like you more and more."

Lin Yi was delighted to hear this, and looking at Wang Manni's chin, he reached out and touched it.

Wang Manni lowered her head slightly and kissed Lin Yi.

Lin Yi smiled and said, "As long as you are well-behaved and sensible in the future, I will definitely not treat you badly."

"Thank you, Brother Yi."

Lin Yi took out his phone and transferred one million yuan to Wang Manni.

Lin Yi said with a smile, "I've transferred it to you. You can give the rest to your uncle and aunt, or keep it for yourself."

Wang Manni opened her phone, her beautiful eyes narrowed, and she discovered that Brother Yi had transferred a million yuan in one go!

If she relied on her own work, it would probably take her many years to save up a million, even without drinking.

That's assuming they don't eat, drink, or stay in their accommodations.

Like before, she seemed to earn a lot in a month, but food, drink, housing, and transportation took up most of her life.

Saving money is really too difficult.

Although you earn a lot in Shanghai, you also spend a lot.

Wang Manni looked at Lin Yi, her heart filled with complex emotions.

"Brother Yi, you don't need that much. They only need 700,000 or 800,000. I still have 200,000 here. Just give me 500,000."

Lin Yi smiled and said, "I also have my own little schemes. I'm giving you more so that you'll be more devoted to me."

"Or are you planning to run away after a while?" Lin Yi asked with a smile.

Wang Manni quickly shook her head, her beautiful eyes red, and said, "I'm not stupid. As long as Brother Yi doesn't kick me out, I won't leave."

Lin Yi smiled and said, "Okay, you said it yourself."

“Yes,” Wang Manni replied affirmatively.

Lin Yi said, "Actually, you don't need to do this. You are my girlfriend. We just don't have a marriage certificate."

Aside from that marriage certificate, you can tell me anything else.

I will try my best to meet your needs.

"Uh-huh."

At that moment, Wang Manni felt that this marriage certificate really meant nothing.

Yi Ge treats her so well, does that marriage certificate really matter?

Even if she does find a boyfriend, he probably won't treat her this well.

So it's really better to follow Brother Yi, where you can live a free and easy life, without having to worry about anything, and live the life you want.

Wang Manni said, "Brother Yi, can I make a request?"

Lin Yi smiled and said, "Go ahead."

Wang Manni: "Brother Yi, could you come to my house once a year from now on?"

Just once, just to let my parents know that I'm doing quite well.

"of course can."

Lin Yi agreed without even thinking about it.

Lin Yi said with a smile, "You are my girlfriend, and they are my father-in-law."

I will visit you once a year from now on, and I will also buy gifts for the two of them during holidays.

Let them know that I, their son-in-law, still care about them.

Wang Manni's words reminded Lin Yi.

From now on, I'll have to prepare better gifts for holidays and festivals.

Families with elderly members will surely be delighted to receive this gift.

I need to make a note of this.

Wang Manni was incredibly moved upon hearing this.

In Wang Manni's view, their relationship was very much like that of lovers.

But Lin Yi's words turned her from a lover into a girlfriend.

No matter what, "lover" doesn't sound good, but "girlfriend" is different. Being Lin Yi's girlfriend is something to be happy about.

No matter how many girlfriends Lin Yi has, as long as Lin Yi is not married, this girlfriend is no different from anyone else.

How could Wang Manni not be moved?

Wang Manni clung to Lin Yi, refusing to let go.

Little did Wang Manni know that this was a special explanation from Lin Yi. Lin Yi knew that she still had some lingering doubts, so he let Wang Manni know that she was his girlfriend.

For things that are particularly important, an explanation is definitely necessary.

If it were Lan Weiwei, then there would be no need for explanation; as long as Lin Yi loves her, she doesn't care about anything else.

Wang Manni blushed and said, "Brother Yi, I've been thinking about it again."

Lin Yi smiled and said, "No rush, there's a long road ahead. Let's take it one step at a time and not be greedy for momentary pleasure."

"Yes, Yi-ge, you're so considerate," Wang Manni said happily.

"Haha~"

He wasn't being considerate; he just felt that being too hasty was not a good thing.

What if Manny is also extremely busy?

After Gu Jia's incident, Lin Yi became much gentler.

Lin Yi said with a smile, "You should play with Xiao Yi instead."

"kindness."

If you don't play poker, you can play something else.

Lin Yi was particularly captivated by Wang Manni's red lips, and Xiao Yi's reaction revealed his inner thoughts.

While playing with Xiao Yi, Wang Manni looked at the Oriental Pearl Tower and the scenery in the distance.

It really has a unique flavor.

Wang Manni was somewhat surprised that something so simple became much more elegant and even inspiring innocence when done in a different setting.

Just then, Wang Manni's phone rang.
