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

I think it's your ex-husband's fault for leaving you; he'll regret it.

Xu Li thought to herself, "There are plenty of fish in the sea, why be hung up on just one? Your rhyme is quite something."

Lin Yi smiled.

Xu Li looked at the ceiling and said, "He divorced me because of another woman, and his attitude was very firm."

She also said that I, as a woman, have no sense of fun in life and rarely laugh.

Lin Yi said, "If my ex-husband said anything else, I might agree, but if he said you have no sense of romance, then I wouldn't be happy."

Your clothes and appearance exude a mature and sophisticated charm that has captivated even a young man like me. Isn't that your allure?

Lin Yi spoke very directly and frankly.

Upon hearing this, Xu Li was not angry at all; instead, a smile involuntarily crept onto her lips.

Yes, she's a woman in her thirties, yet she can completely captivate a young man in his twenties. That speaks volumes about her charm.

Lin Yi said with a smile, "It's not that you're bad, it's that my ex-husband doesn't know how to appreciate it."

"Ex-husband? What kind of lousy address is that?" Xu Li rolled her eyes at him.

One glance, and a thousand charms unfold.

Lin Yi exaggeratedly clutched his chest, looking as if his heart was pounding.

Lin Yi said with a smile, "He doesn't know how to cherish you. I'll cherish you properly from now on."

Xu Li actually blushed a little; she was actually being flirted with by a boy who was so much younger than her.

Xu Li said, "It's not that I can't laugh, or that I'm always cold; it's just that I'm too tired from work every day, so after get off work I just do whatever makes me feel comfortable."

Lin Yi said, "I think it's quite nice to be a bit aloof."

With your气质 (qi zhi, a combination of temperament, bearing, and aloofness) and appearance, calling you a cool and aloof goddess wouldn't be an exaggeration, would it?

Xu Li looked at Lin Yi and almost laughed.

Xu Li asked, "Do you think all my shortcomings aren't shortcomings at all?"

Lin Yi smiled and said, "Not necessarily. Everyone has flaws, but I haven't found any in you yet."

Xu Li said, "Lin Yi, you really know how to make women happy."

Lin Yi asked with a smile, "So, are you happy?"

"happy."

Xu Li said, "Now that you've said that, it's as if I'm perfect and flawless, without a single flaw."

"Like I said, it's possible, but I haven't found it yet," Lin Yi said with a smile.

Lin Yi pressed hard twice and then said, "It's done."

Xu Li took a look and felt much more relaxed.

Lin Yi stood up, took out his phone, and took several photos of Xu Li lying there.

Xu Li did not stop him and let him take pictures.

After Lin Yi finished taking the photos, he showed his phone to Xu Li.

Lin Yi said with a smile, "Look at yourself now, and you'll know I wasn't lying to you."

Xu Li took the phone and saw a photo of a short-haired girl wearing black stockings, lying there lazily.

The whole movement appeared languid yet alluring.

Her face still carried a hint of aloofness, as if she truly possessed the aloof goddess vibe that Lin Yi had described.

Looking at the photo, Xu Li couldn't help but ask, "Is this me?"

"There are only the two of us in the room. If it's not you, then it must be me?" Lin Yi said.

Xu Li suddenly laughed, and said somewhat shyly, "Am I really that...beautiful?"

Lin Yi lay down next to Xu Li and said with a smile, "You're even more beautiful than you think."

Actually, besides Xu Li's own performance, the lighting was also a factor in achieving such a perfect result.

The dim lighting, shining on Xu Li's profile, naturally adds a touch of cool sophistication.

Lin Yi is so familiar with photography, so he naturally knows very well.

This is why these photos portray Xu Li as a cool and languid goddess.

In many cases, it's not that the girl is incapable, but rather a problem with the lighting.

Just as Xu Li was about to say something, Lin Yi suddenly kissed her on the lips.

Xu Li did not push him away, but slowly closed her eyes and responded to Lin Yi's kiss.

Lin Yi hugged Xu Li, and Xu Li hugged Lin Yi.

After a long while, the two finally let go.

After letting go, Xu Li greedily exhaled air, looked at Lin Yi and said, "Couldn't you have been a little gentler? I almost couldn't breathe."

Lin Yi said with a smile, "I couldn't help it, I just couldn't help myself."

“I don’t blame you,” Xu Li said.

Lin Yi asked with a smile, "Shall we continue?"

"Mm." Xu Li nodded.

They played a kissing game for an hour without getting tired of it.

Lin Yi held Xu Li in his arms, and the two lay together like a couple.

Xu Li said, "You can stay here tonight."

After working so hard for so long, are we finally about to see the light at the end of the tunnel?

"Okay~"

Lin Yi readily agreed.

"But~"

Xu Li said, "The last step still didn't work."

Lin Yi smiled and said, "No problem."

Xu Li asked, "Aren't you angry?"

Lin Yi smiled and said, "Why should I be angry? This is already much better than I expected."

Besides, given our situation, breaking through to the final step is only a matter of time.

In other words, Xu Li, you'll be my dinner sooner or later, so why should I be in such a hurry?

Lin Yi said those words intentionally, of course.

If you can eat meat, who would want to do nothing?

Lin Yi was only saying this to comfort himself, and also to Xu Li.

Tell Xu Li to rest assured that he won't do anything reckless.

Xu Li smiled and said, "You're really confident."

Lin Yi nodded: "Of course. From the first moment I saw you, my heart told me that I had you in my grasp."

Lin Yi's words were full of aggression.

"it is good."

Xu Li said, "I will not deliberately avoid anything about our relationship."

If one day I fall in love with you too, let's be together.

“No problem, neither of us will force the other, we’ll let nature take its course.” Lin Yi nodded.

"Okay." Xu Li nodded; that was what she wanted to say too.

Let things take their natural course, and things will fall into place—that's the best state for a relationship.

Xu Li worried that if things went too fast, Lin Yi would regret it.

Therefore, it wasn't that she stubbornly insisted on her bottom line, but rather that she wanted to give herself and Lin Yi a chance to regret it.

Lin Yi sighed; Xiao Yi wouldn't have much of a chance to use his skills tonight.

It's a pity for Xiao Yi. He was so excited for so long, but Xu Li held firm and wouldn't let him pass no matter what.

There is no other way but this.

Forget it, let's take our time with appreciating Xu Li. Lin Yi has plenty of time anyway.

Just thinking about how confident he had made that promise made Lin Yi couldn't help but blush.

I can't brag too much in the future, otherwise it won't look good if I'm proven wrong.

Fortunately, no one knew what Lin Yi was thinking at the time, otherwise they would have laughed at him.

Lin Yi had his arm around Xu Li, and Xu Li had her arm around Lin Yi; both of them had smiles on their faces.
