Free Web NovelChapter 386: Chapter 287: A Woman Adorns Herself for Her Admirer
"Well, that’s it for today. I’m heading home now. Thanks for dinner," Lin Li said to Liu Jialin.
"I’m going to be pretty busy for a while. Once I have some free time, I’ll treat you to another meal..." Liu Jialin said with a smile.
"Uh..." He’d been treated to two meals in a row now. Even though it was because he’d done her a huge favor, Lin Li felt it would be a bit much to let her pay a third time. Feeling a little embarrassed, he said,
"You keep treating me to meals. I’d feel too embarrassed to come out again. Next time you’re free, let me treat you instead!"
"That works too!" Liu Jialin readily agreed. She then said goodbye to Lin Li and turned to walk toward her car.
Lin Li watched Liu Jialin’s departing figure—her long, wavy hair, her white camisole, and her blue skirt.
His few interactions with Liu Jialin had completely shattered his stereotype of Investigators being stern and humorless.
The Investigators he usually encountered were meticulous and stone-faced. But after work, once they shed their uniforms and changed into regular clothes, they were no different from anyone else. They could laugh, chat, and crack jokes.
Pulling his gaze back, Lin Li turned and walked toward his own parking spot.
A short while later, a silver-white van drove out of the parking lot.
Lin Li had originally planned to go straight home, but he changed his mind at the last minute. He decided to stop by the supermarket for some shopping first.
He was almost out of snacks at home. Furthermore, he felt the supplies he’d stockpiled on the Mysterious Small Island weren’t quite enough, so he decided to increase his reserves.
At night, traffic was much smoother than during the day.
Lin Li drove the van to the supermarket, encountering no traffic along the way.
When he arrived, he found very few people inside. Usually, there would be quite a lot of shoppers at this hour.
The sweltering heat was irritating, but it had its upsides. At least when you went out, you didn’t have to worry about bumping into crowds.
He went on a massive shopping spree inside the supermarket, spending over ten thousand yuan!
Going to the supermarket and spending over ten thousand yuan was something Lin Li had never done before. It was only now that he had over twenty million in his account that he could afford to spend like this.
With the help of a supermarket employee, Lin Li pushed several carts full of goods to the curb outside and loaded the huge pile of purchased items into his van.
The supermarket employee who had helped Lin Li wheel the mountain of goods to the curb watched the packed van drive off and couldn’t help but wonder to himself.
’This guy bought so much stuff at once. Does he even have room for it at home?’
...
In Unit 601 of Building Three in the Happiness Garden District, it was nearly nine o’clock at night.
The sound of running water echoed from the steamy bathroom. A moment later, it stopped.
CLICK.
The bathroom door opened, and Su Yue, fresh from her shower, emerged from the steamy room, a captivating fragrance wafting around her.
Her silky, jet-black hair hung damply over her shoulders; she had clearly just washed it.
Her curvaceous body was wrapped in a pure white bathrobe, revealing a pair of fair, jade-like calves. Her delicate feet were in slippers with cartoon patterns as she walked toward her bedroom.
The whirring of a hairdryer could be heard from the bedroom.
「A few minutes later.」
Her beautiful hair was piled high, held in place by a simple wooden hairpin passed through it.
The style revealed the fair, smooth column of her swan-like neck. Dressed in a light green silk slip adorned with a delicate floral print, Su Yue emerged from her bedroom, her movements full of grace.
The air conditioner in the living room continuously pumped out a chilly breeze, keeping the spacious living room at a refreshingly cool temperature.
A yoga mat lay unrolled in front of the television, and beside it sat a glass, still half-full of water.
It seemed Su Yue had gone to take a shower after finishing her yoga practice.
This was indeed the case. During her trip to Qiong City, while staying in the hotel, Su Yue hadn’t continued her routine of fitness exercises or yoga.
Now that she was back home in Rongcheng, it was time to get back to her old workout routine...
To keep her body in good shape, she couldn’t slack off. Of course, in the eyes of her good friend Wang Ling, Su Yue’s workout plan was completely unnecessary.
According to Wang Ling, "You’re naturally blessed; you don’t need to do daily exercises or yoga to maintain that figure of yours."
However, as the saying goes, a woman adorns herself for the one who delights in her.
Although her best friend told her she had no need to stick to a daily exercise or yoga routine to maintain her figure,
whenever Su Yue remembered Lin Li joking that she’d gained some weight, she couldn’t help but repeatedly stand before the mirror, scrutinizing her own flawless, curvaceous figure.
Even when she herself thought her figure was already perfect, she still felt compelled to work out.
Su Yue walked into the living room and rolled up the yoga mat. Then, she picked up the glass and chugged the rest of the cool water.
