After retiring, he inherits hundreds of billions of assets every day

Xie Yanchuan leaned against the wine cabinet, his face cold and his eyes dull, he mechanically poured glass after glass of wine into his mouth. There were several empty bottles on the table.

The phone beeped, followed by a video call request.

Xie Yanchuan was about to pick up his phone when he heard the voice, but was startled by the following call.

Seeing the message sent by Ji Cheng, he couldn't help but tighten his lips, with jealousy welling up in his eyes.

In Ji Cheng's heart, wool and yarn are much more important than him.

Is there any place for me in her heart, even just a corner?

Although he didn't want to see Ji Cheng for the time being, he still adjusted his appearance in front of the mirror behind him and answered the call.

Ji Cheng watched the video being connected with great anticipation, but all he saw was darkness, with no human figures in sight. He could vaguely hear footsteps, and called out tentatively.

"Xie Yanchuan?"

The video was silent for a few seconds before it came back on. A low, hoarse voice rang out, "I'm here."

"Furry and cute cats, mommy wants to see you!" Xie Yanchuan pointed his finger at the two cats lying on the blanket and whispered.

Ji Cheng was the first to notice the difference in Xie Yanchuan, as well as the bulging veins on his arms, and some worry accumulated in his eyes.

"What's wrong with you? Is your throat uncomfortable? If you are sick, you must seek treatment immediately and not delay."

Xie Yanchuan's hand stroking the ball of fur paused slightly, but soon recovered. Looking at Ji Cheng's exposed face, there was some worry in his eyes, and the pain in his heart seemed to ease a little.

"No...why would you think so?"

Ji Cheng was stunned by the question. After a few seconds of silence, he answered truthfully, "Because I heard that your voice is different from usual, a little hoarse..."

Xie Yanchuan's stiff expression suddenly showed a hint of smile. He didn't expect that she could notice such a small detail.

Does this mean that I still have some status in her heart?

Thinking of this, Xie Yanchuan suddenly realized that he was not as uncomfortable as before. He suppressed the smile in his throat and responded calmly.

"Okay, I'll pay attention."

Ji Cheng responded absentmindedly upon hearing the voice and began to call out to the wool ball.

She made the video call to see Xie Yanchuan, and maybe to take a look at Maoqiu Maoxian as well. Since he didn't show his face, she couldn't help feeling a little depressed.

Maoqiu heard Ji Cheng's voice coming from a blackboard brick. He meowed a few times and directly used the Meow Mountain Shadowless Kick to kick Xie Yanchuan's phone down.

Xie Yanchuan originally wanted to free his hands, but Maoqiu refused to cooperate. He sighed and went to pick up the phone that had fallen on the ground.

The phone fell to the ground with the front camera in on mode.

Xie Yanchuan had a cold face, his collar was open, but the corners of his eyes were a little red, and he had a kind of drunken charm. He bent down and met Ji Cheng's eyes on the screen.

Ji Cheng didn't expect this either. She stared at Xie Yanchuan's eyes, which were as deep as the ocean, revealing a bit of tenderness and a dangerous aura.

But the sentence came to my mind: the more dangerous something is, the more attractive it is.

She admitted that she was attracted to Xie Yanchuan, and if they weren't on a video call, she might have gone crazy.

Due to the video call, she could only try her best to suppress her perverted nature.

Neither of them spoke, and they just stared at each other quietly for a moment.

Maoqiu's dissatisfied cry came from behind, attacking Xie Yanchuan.

Maoqiu walked across the sofa to Xie Yanchuan's head and knocked him hard twice.

Xie Yanchuan only felt pain spreading in his head. He picked up his phone, stood up and grabbed the two cat paws of the culprit.

"Maoqiu, apologize to me." A low and cold voice sounded, attracting Ji Cheng's attention.

Ji Cheng only felt that the obscure look in their eyes just now seemed to penetrate her heart, ignite her barren wasteland, and arouse the fire in her heart.

Maoqiu refused to obey and even wanted to attack him again, but Xie Yanchuan grabbed his neck and made him unable to move.

"If you don't apologize, then let Mama apologize to me."

Ji Cheng was happily watching the show, but she didn't expect Xie Yanchuan to call her suddenly. She subconsciously looked up at him with a helpless look on her face.

"Xie Yanchuan, I'm sorry~"

Hearing this, Xie Yanchuan looked at her face which was full of apology but a bright smile, and he suddenly felt relieved.

He thought, he still couldn't let go.

Just keep waiting, maybe he will get a chance.

Ji Cheng didn’t know what Xie Yanchuan was thinking, but he felt that he was always distracted. Could he be thinking about other people, such as the girl he liked?

When Ji Cheng thought of this possibility, he didn't believe it himself.

Isn’t Xie Yanchuan’s character set to be averse to women?

How could he possibly like me?

Even if you like a girl, how can you guarantee that she will like you back?

She doesn't have the aura of a heroine? Will Xie Yanchuan really like her?

Countless questions emerged from Ji Cheng's heart, and he kept comparing himself.

The fiery heart in my heart seemed to be suddenly soaked in cold water, gradually calming down and no longer beating violently.

Xie Yanchuan came back to his senses and looked at Ji Cheng's sad face. The smile in his eyes gradually disappeared, and he couldn't help feeling a little flustered in his heart.

"Ji Cheng? What's wrong with you?"

Ji Cheng smiled reluctantly and glanced at him, saying softly, "Xie Yanchuan, I'm going to sleep. Good night."

After she finished speaking, Ji Cheng quickly hung up the phone. Her sad eyes were reflected in the dim light, and she sighed deeply.

Before Xie Yanchuan could finish his words, Ji Cheng had already disappeared without a trace. He sighed deeply and sent a message.

Xie Yanchuan: [Ji Cheng, good night. ]

He sensed Ji Cheng's unhappiness, and before he could even open his mouth, Ji Cheng had already hung up the phone, as if she didn't want him to see anything.

He could only pretend not to know.

He wanted to comfort her, but she seemed to want to hide herself and not show her sadness.

Ji Cheng couldn't change his mind, and finally decided to keep his love to himself.

But she couldn't control her heart beating for Xie Yanchuan.

**

When Xie Yanchuan woke up, he went downstairs and found a familiar figure sitting on the sofa, knitting wool.

"Yu Qingyue? Why are you here?" Xie Yanchuan walked downstairs slowly and sat at the table to eat.

Yu Qingyue heard the voice and looked over, his face full of disbelief.

"Uncle, when did you get a cat? Don't you dislike these animals that shed hair?"

Xie Yanchuan really didn't want to see Yu Qingyue recently, but he just happened to walk into his trap.

He knew that he shouldn't vent his anger on Yu Qingyue, so his tone became a little colder.

"It's fostered by a friend."

Yu Qingyue sat at the table calmly, picked up the breakfast prepared by Uncle Xu, and ate with surprise.

"Which friend? Do I know him? When did you meet him? Is he a boy or a girl? How old is he?"
