Chen Ziwen initially intended to have A-Jie take the job, but later decided against it because A-Jie's personality was not suitable for the job.

In comparison, he's better suited to doing things in the shadows. Keeping Ah Jie by his side means he can easily instruct Ah Jie to do things without having to do it himself.

"Awen."

As soon as Li Xinxin got home from get off work that evening, she rushed into Chen Ziwen's arms.

Chen Ziwen didn't know why Li Xinxin was so clingy to him, but it wasn't a bad thing, and Chen Ziwen was happy with it.

"Awen, are you free tomorrow?" Li Xinxin squirmed in Chen Ziwen's arms, then looked up at him.

"It should be fine," Chen Ziwen said after thinking for a moment.

He hardly needs to get involved in the Hung Hing and Lan Kwai Fong affairs anymore, so things should be fine tomorrow, but that's not certain.

"That's great! I'll invite Amin over to play tomorrow. You don't have to be away from home," Li Xinxin said happily.

"what?"

"Didn't you say Amin likes me? You're inviting her home, aren't you afraid...?" Chen Ziwen raised an eyebrow and asked Li Xinxin curiously.

Li Xinxin told her about this herself, so why has it changed now?

"Oh, it's her business if Amin likes you. As long as you don't get infatuated with her, that's fine." Li Xinxin glanced at Chen Ziwen with a charming look.

She had no choice. Amin had been depressed lately, and it made her feel bad too. She had no choice but to sacrifice her boyfriend.

Besides, they're coming to my house. As long as I keep an eye on them, nothing will happen.

"Oh, right, I have something for you." Chen Ziwen suddenly remembered the Youth Preservation Pill.

"what is this?"

Li Xinxin looked on curiously.

"This is it." Chen Ziwen took out a youth-preserving pill and waved it in front of Li Xinxin.

"This?" Li Xinxin pointed at the object, somewhat surprised, and asked, "Is it candy?"

"Oh, you're still treating me like a child," Li Xinxin said to Chen Ziwen, pouting and acting spoiled.

She's not a child anymore, and even when she was little, she didn't like eating candy.

"What candy?" Chen Ziwen asked, both amused and exasperated.

The renowned Youth Preservation Pill became candy in Li Xinxin's mouth. If the wealthy women who dream of obtaining the Youth Preservation Pill knew this, they would definitely go crazy.

"It's not candy. You'll know what it is after you eat it." Chen Ziwen gently placed the Youth Preservation Pill into Li Xinxin's mouth.

Li Xinxin had no choice but to eat the candy, since it was her boyfriend who fed it to her.

As for Awen saying that it wasn't candy, she didn't believe him at all.

"how do you feel?"

Upon seeing Li Xinxin take the Youth Preservation Pill, Chen Ziwen asked curiously.

He had never tried it before and didn't know what the Youth-Preserving Pill tasted like.

"Feelings? No, it's just pretty sweet." Li Xinxin shook her head, then suddenly remembered something and said with a touch of happiness.

She thought Ah Wen was just being romantic, so she felt sweet inside. Even though it was just a piece of candy, she could see Chen Ziwen's feelings.

Chen Ziwen: ...

"You must have misunderstood..." Chen Ziwen felt helpless; he couldn't possibly tell Li Xinxin what this thing was.

He wouldn't tell anyone about the system, not even Li Xinxin.

Chen Ziwen knew that Li Xinxin loved him very much, and even if she knew, she wouldn't tell anyone or betray him.

But what if Li Xinxin accidentally reveals it to the public? "A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime," and he doesn't have the power to go against the whole world.

Therefore, the safest way is to not tell anyone and let him know on his own.

"Awen, what brand is this candy?" Li Xinxin suddenly asked.

"What's wrong? Is there some kind of reaction?" Chen Ziwen's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that it's finally taking effect?

"I didn't have any reaction, but this candy is quite strange; it melts in my mouth." Although Li Xinxin didn't eat candy before, it didn't mean she didn't know what candy was like.

This one is clearly different; no other candy melts in your mouth like this.

"I made this myself." Chen Ziwen was a little disappointed, but his expression was full of doting affection as he looked at Li Xinxin.

In this way, he can claim that there won't be another one in the world, and he can also flirt with his girlfriend at the same time.

"Awen," Li Xinxin said excitedly, "I love you," and kissed Chen Ziwen on the cheek.

For a woman, the most romantic thing is for the man she likes to make her candy by hand.

"Is this all you mean?" Chen Ziwen pointed to the spot where Li Xinxin had just kissed him, a mischievous grin on his face.

"How annoying!" Li Xinxin gave Chen Ziwen a charmingly disdainful look.

Li Xinxin saw right through his little scheme.

"How about we try a different floral arrangement today?" Chen Ziwen picked up Li Xinxin and headed towards the bedroom on the second floor.

"Do not"

"Really not?"

"You're so annoying!"

The next morning, Chen Ziwen woke up and smiled as he looked at Li Xinxin, who was still fast asleep in his arms.

To wield power over the world while awake, and to rest one's head on the lap of a beautiful woman while drunk—this is probably the dream of every man in the world.

However, he still has a long way to go to achieve this goal.

Chen Ziwen didn't rush to get up. He just lay there quietly, holding Li Xinxin in his arms, enjoying the pleasant scene.

"Stop fooling around."

In her sleep, Li Xinxin felt Chen Ziwen's large hand moving around erratically.

The next second, she suddenly opened her eyes and realized that this was not a dream, but that was obviously not what concerned her.

"What time is it now?" Li Xinxin looked at the sun, which was already high in the sky outside the window, with an anxious expression on her face.

"It's only ten o'clock, no rush, you can sleep a little longer," Chen Ziwen said casually, glancing at his watch.

"No, no, I have to get up quickly, or it will be late." Li Xinxin said, jumping out of bed and starting to pick out clothes from the closet.

While making selections, he kept saying that there wasn't enough time.

Chen Ziwen was completely confused, looking at Li Xinxin's busy figure with a strange expression: "Weren't you off today?"

If he remembers correctly, Li Xinxin was supposed to be off today.

“I know, but Amin is coming. I made an appointment with her to come at eleven o’clock,” Li Xinxin said without turning her head.

We agreed to meet at 11 o'clock, but it's already 10 o'clock. It's all Wen's fault for staying up so late yesterday.

Even now, her back is still a little sore.

"It can't be that bad, it's only ten o'clock." Chen Ziwen said, both amused and exasperated.

There's still an hour left, what's the rush? Look at him, he's still lying in bed and hasn't gotten up yet.

"Humph"

Li Xinxin turned around and gave Chen Ziwen a huff. Although she didn't say anything, Chen Ziwen could still tell what she meant.

"Of course you men don't need to, but we women need to groom ourselves, put on makeup, and dress up, okay?" Well, Chen Ziwen instantly understood that look. Sure enough, all women in the world are the same.

Even at home, whenever guests come, even if it's just her best friend, she has to dress up beautifully.

Actually, Li Xinxin had another ulterior motive. He Min liked her boyfriend, so of course she wanted to dress up beautifully so that He Min would give up on him.

What if Amin sees me looking so messy and starts thinking about stealing my boyfriend?

If Chen Ziwen knew what she was thinking, she would definitely say: "You've been best friends for so many years, haven't you seen each other in a sorry state? What's the point of dressing up?"

Chen Ziwen quietly watched Li Xinxin as she worked.

After picking out my clothes, I went to wash up, which took a full ten minutes. Then I changed my clothes and started putting on makeup.

Half an hour had passed, and it was already 10:40, but the drawing was still not finished.

"Sigh, women," Chen Ziwen sighed inwardly.

With twenty minutes left, Chen Ziwen rolled out of bed to take care of his personal needs, and then began washing his face and brushing his teeth.

The whole process took less than fifteen minutes.

"It's almost eleven o'clock, just five minutes from now." Chen Ziwen leaned against the door frame, leisurely watching Li Xinxin.

However, Li Xinxin ignored him and only gave him a beautiful eye roll.

She was almost done with it and didn't have time to waste with Chen Ziwen.

"All right"

Just as it was eleven o'clock, Li Xinxin put down her paintbrush and stood up.

"pretty"

Chen Ziwen's heartfelt exclamation.

Li Xinxin was already beautiful, naturally gorgeous, and even without makeup she was stunningly beautiful. Now she is even more beautiful than a goddess.

Chen Ziwen observed more closely and found that Li Xinxin's skin was much smoother than usual.

He noticed it last night; the skin felt as smooth as silk.

Perhaps this is the effect of the Youth-Preserving Pill; it not only locks in Li Xinxin's most beautiful and radiant moments but also enhances them. Chen Ziwen even had a deeper observation: the driveway seemed much narrower than usual.

Just as Li Xinxin finished speaking, the doorbell rang suddenly.

"It must be Amin." Li Xinxin straightened her clothes in front of the mirror, then went downstairs to open the door.

"These two women are truly best friends; even their timing is so precise," Chen Ziwen muttered to himself.

At exactly 11 o'clock, Li Xinxin finished her makeup, and He Min arrived at the door, almost without a second's delay.

He was even a little curious about how these two women managed to keep track of time so precisely.

Despite his thoughts, Chen Ziwen couldn't possibly not show up when He Min arrived, so he walked down the stairs.

"Amin, you're here!" Li Xinxin ran downstairs, opened the door, and greeted He Min with a happy expression.

"Well, I guess I'm pretty punctual." He Min smiled brightly, then looked around and said, "This is the first time I've come here since you moved. I almost got lost."
