King of Kings, start with a perfect record and strive for the top spot.

"No need for you two to give me an answer right away. These two cups of milk tea are on me. You'll know whether they work or not once you've tried them."

Ye Lan put down the two cups of Vitality Dew, gently patted the two of them on the shoulder, said no more, and turned to leave.

Old Shen stared blankly at Ye Lan's departing figure for a moment.

"Old Shen, you don't really want to franchise their milk tea shop, do you? Think it over!" Old Xu said worriedly.

They are currently affiliated with other milk tea brands. If they change their minds and terminate the contract, they will have to pay a high penalty according to the contract.

This is clearly not a good deal.

No matter what, we have to wait until the contract expires this year before we can talk about franchising.

"I wasn't thinking about that. I was just wondering why he said he was treating us when we had already paid?" Old Shen shook the receipt in his hand.

"Damn, this guy didn't pay us back!" Old Xu realized belatedly.

The thought of Ye Lan patting them on the shoulder and saying something about treating them to a meal made the two of them feel nauseous.

How can someone be so shameless?

.........

After Ye Lan finished inspecting the work, she returned to her rented room.

Lin Xueyao was awake in the bedroom, but only her head was sticking out. Her body was wrapped in the white quilt, making her look like a silkworm.

Lin Xueyao stared blankly at Ye Lan, who was leaning against the door frame, her eyes sparkling with barely suppressed joy.

"If you don't get up, I'm going out to eat by myself," Ye Lan threatened, crossing her arms.

Lin Xueyao lifted a corner of the quilt and tentatively stretched out a section of her slender, white leg. The chill crept up her leg, causing her to shiver involuntarily.

"Brother, it's cold~." Lin Xueyao pulled her legs back, blinked her eyes, and looked aggrieved.

"Who told you to turn off the air conditioner last night because you thought it was hot? Now you know it's cold?"

Ye Lan curled her lips into a smile, a hint of mockery in her eyes, picked up the air conditioner remote, and turned on the heating mode.

A gentle breeze wafted through the room, spreading and raising the temperature.

"It's all your fault. You're as hot as a hot spring rock when I sleep at night. If the air conditioner is on, I'm sure I'll get heatstroke," Lin Xueyao said coquettishly.

"Lin Xueyao, I've noticed you're getting better and better at playing the victim. If you think I'm hot, then don't hug me to sleep! I think you're cold!"

Lin Xueyao pouted, "I can't sleep without holding you."

"Alright, alright, get up quickly. Dehua invited us to his house for lunch. If we go late, there won't be any left."

While inspecting the shops in the morning, Ye Lan received an invitation from Dehua.

Having been in Shanghai for so long, the two of them only managed to get together for a bowl of claypot rice, which Ye Lan treated them to.

This made Dehua, the host, feel ashamed. Coincidentally, the cook had returned to work that day, so he invited Ye Lan and her husband to his home.

Ye Lan had nothing else to do anyway, so of course she had no reason to refuse.

As the saying goes, a bastard wouldn't refuse a free meal.

Lin Xueyao was wriggling on the bed, and the scene was so beautiful that Ye Lan couldn't bear to look at her.

Honestly, it looks a lot like a creature that often appears in toilets.

"Ye Lan, could you go to the bathroom and get my clothes for me?" Lin Xueyao's voice was soft and sweet, her eyes full of expectation.

She is, after all, a young lady from a wealthy family; she's used to ordering people around.

Ye Lan shifted her body helplessly. "Where are all the clothes?"

Lin Xueyao's eyes lit up, "Just put it in that pink storage box in the bathroom."

After obtaining the specific location, Ye Lan headed towards the bathroom.

The room he rented wasn't very big, but it was small yet complete, with a bedroom, a living room, a kitchen, a bathroom, and a balcony—all the necessary living facilities were there.

It's more than enough for Ye Lan and Lin Xueyao, this young couple.

Because the room was small, Ye Lan reached the bathroom in just a few steps.

Then I found the pink storage box in the corner.

She opened the box without any warning, but when Ye Lan saw the contents, her face immediately turned red, and even her ears felt hot.

Inside the box were square pieces of cotton cloth, mostly pink and white, with different patterns on them.

White tiger heads, pink peonies...

And, a purple one with lace trim...

Ye Lan almost had a nosebleed. Xu Song was right, purple really does have a lot of charm.

Although the two had shared a bed for so long, this was the first time Ye Lan had ever examined such intimate clothing so closely.

The main problem is that you don't usually have the chance to shine a light on the phone when the lights are off. You can't exactly take your phone and turn on a flashlight to shine it, can you?

That's incredibly rude.

No, that's way too extreme!

"Ye Lan, haven't you found her yet?" Lin Xueyao's voice came from inside the room.

"Found it. What color do you want to wear?" Ye Lan put down the purple dress with lace trim.

"White with a little tiger pattern."

"Oh, here we come."

Ye Lan grabbed the white cotton cloth with the little tiger pattern and hurriedly ran back to her bedroom.

"Here you go." He handed the cotton garment to Lin Xueyao.

Lin Xueyao stared blankly at Ye Lan, who was staring intently at her, a blush spreading across her cheeks.

Her skin was already fair, and even a slight blush made it very noticeable, making her look as charming as a ripe apple, tempting one to take a bite.

"Ye Lan, I need to change my underwear!"

With her pearly teeth slightly parted and her red lips moving, Lin Xueyao's face turned even redder, and even the roots of her ears were tinged with a blush.

"oh oh."

Ye Lan then realized what was happening, quickly turned around and left, gently closing the door behind her.

In the living room, Ye Lan paced back and forth, her heart filled with an inexplicable anger.

He could control himself before I saw it.

But now that he sees the underwear, he keeps picturing Lin Xueyao's pure and flawless body wearing the clothes.

He started to lose control.

It's said that the sky is most beautiful when it's just before it gets dark, and people are most charming when they're about to be seen but haven't yet!

Because I saw it, images began to automatically form in my mind; and because I didn't see what I wanted to see, my mind started to fill in the blanks.

This is why girls wearing masks are the most charming.

Because if someone has well-proportioned eyes, your brain will subconsciously perceive them as beautiful.

Simply put, it's like adding a hazy, beautifying filter.

Ye Lan pondered whether or not to break the ice.

After all, the two of them were sharing an apartment. If nothing happened, people would think he was impotent.

But after much deliberation, he decided to wait a little longer.

The company is just starting out, and he needs to spend time overseeing everything.

Once everything was relatively stable, he forced himself on Lin Xueyao, letting her experience the joys of family life.

“Hehehe….”

At this moment, Lin Xueyao was in a terrible state in Ye Lan's mind.

The creaking of the bedroom door brought Ye Lan back to reality.
