"Hey! Wait, you just said you haven’t even graduated from college yet. We can’t let you pay. Please, use my card."
Zhu Yuehua grabbed Yun Zijin’s arm and handed her own card to the front desk.
"Yeah, that’s right. You’re the youngest, so we should be the ones taking care of you."
Cheng Yushu chimed in.
Su Mengyao didn’t really care. It was all the same to her who paid; it wasn’t a lot of money anyway.
Yun Zijin didn’t insist. She just made a mental note to herself. ’I’ll just treat them next time.’
After settling the bill, the four of them walked to the entrance, where a valet had already brought their cars around.
"Miss Yun, here are your car and your keys."
The valet handed the keys to Yun Zijin. He had been extremely careful when driving the car over. ’There’s no way it got scratched, right?’
"Wow! Zijin, your car is gorgeous!"
It wasn’t her favorite model, but that didn’t mean she disliked it.
"She also has an even flashier, red LaFerrari."
Su Mengyao interjected out of nowhere.
"A LaFerrari?" Zhu Yuehua was stunned. Neither of those cars was easy to get ahold of.
"Yep. And before you guys got here, someone was even trying to borrow it for a spin!"
Su Mengyao didn’t mention it was Li Yuexing, but they figured anyone who could ask to borrow a car from Yun Zijin was no ordinary person. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
"Wait a minute! Those guys..."
Cheng Yushu just now noticed that ever since they’d left Liuyue Hot Spring Villa, several bodyguards had been flanking Yun Zijin, keeping her completely inside a safe zone.
"Oh, those are Zijin’s bodyguards. The kind that protect her 24/7. Just pretend they don’t exist."
Su Mengyao had been a little intimidated by Zero One and the others at first, too. But after spending some time with Yun Zijin, she had learned to treat them like air.
Once she got used to it, she couldn’t even sense their presence unless they revealed themselves on purpose.
The way Zhu Yuehua and Cheng Yushu looked at Yun Zijin changed.
’Looks like she’s seriously rich. Otherwise, why spend a fortune on so many bodyguards, especially for 24-hour close protection?’
’If she gets targeted by kidnappers, outnumbering them with bodyguards could at least buy her some time.’
Clearly, the two of them just thought of Zero One and his men as ordinary bodyguards.
But Yun Zijin didn’t feel the need to explain. ’Those who are meant to know will find out one day. Those who aren’t, never will.’
Zhu Yuehua, Cheng Yushu, and Su Mengyao had all driven there, but since they’d been drinking, they couldn’t drive back.
The three of them turned to look at Yun Zijin’s bodyguards.
"Zijin, could we borrow one of your bodyguards to drive our cars home?"
Su Mengyao was instantly filled with regret. ’I shouldn’t have been drinking.’
"Sure. Ling Qi, you drive Meng Yao’s car and get her home safely. I’ll transfer you the money for a ride back right now."
Yun Zijin pulled out her phone and started tapping away furiously.
"Zijin, we drank too," Zhu Yuehua and Cheng Yushu reminded her helplessly. It was too late to call for a designated driver.
"Ling Lu, you drive their car and take them home."
"Yes, Miss!"
Hearing Yun Zijin’s order, Ling Lu was inwardly reluctant. His duty was to protect her.
But as a bodyguard, he could not refuse a direct order from Yun Zijin.
Ling Lu silently took the keys from Zhu Yuehua, got in the car, buckled his seatbelt, and started the engine, all in one smooth motion.
"Go on, get in. We can talk about whatever else next time."
Yun Zijin could see the reluctance from Ling Lu and Ling Qi, but for the safety of Su Mengyao and the others, it was the best solution she could think of.

[Spending Mission: A new week has begun! The Host must spend ¥2,000,000.00 before midnight tonight. Mission Reward: To be unlocked.]
The first thing she heard upon waking up the next day was the system announcing a new spending mission.
Yun Zijin could now face it without batting an eye. After all, every day was like this.
"*Like the clouds hanging low before the rain, you sang softly and stirred my heart...*"
Yun Zijin had just finished brushing her teeth and walked out of the bathroom when her phone rang.
"Zijing! Guess where I am?"
Li Yuexing’s excited, chirpy voice rang in her ear, and Yun Zijin silently held the phone a little further away.
"You’re not... at the entrance to Xingyu Mansion, are you?"
’Li Yuexing was so interested in her car, it wasn’t impossible that he’d show up early in the morning.’
"Of course! You really are amazing, Zijing! I’m right at the entrance to Xingyu Mansion now.
I’m not a resident, and no one’s here to let me in, so I’m stuck outside the gate.
Zijing, are you up yet? Could you tell the guards that I’m here to see you about something?"
Yun Zijin was speechless.
"Just wait. I’ll call the guards now."
The security at Xingyu Mansion was quite good. Unless a resident gave them prior notice, the guards wouldn’t let anyone into the complex.
"Thanks, Zijing!"
Li Yuexing’s voice was even more energetic now. Yun Zijin really had to wonder, ’Is this guy really the most outstanding heir of the Li family’s younger generation?’
’Why does he always seem a little dim-witted?’
Yun Zijin had the number for the security office at the gate saved in her phone, but she hadn’t used it in a long time and had to search for a bit.
She had no idea that the time she’d wasted searching had made the guard suspicious of Li Yuexing’s identity.
Just then, the phone in the guardhouse rang.
The guard shot Li Yuexing a glare before picking up the receiver.
"Um... Uncle Wu, that person waiting at the gate this morning is a friend of mine. He’s here to discuss something with me.
Could you please do me a favor and let him in?
Don’t worry, if my friend does anything out of line, I’ll take full responsibility."
"Okay, I understand, Miss Yun. One moment."
Although the guard still didn’t like the look of Li Yuexing, he wasn’t going to keep him out now that a resident had personally called.
"Alright, Miss Yun just called me. Sign the registry here, then you can go in by yourself."
The guard placed a registration form on the counter for Li Yuexing to fill out.
Eager to borrow the car, Li Yuexing obediently filled out the form.
Once the form was complete, the guard finally let him pass.
Li Yuexing thought, ’That was tough!’
Yun Zijin’s home, Villa 1, was very easy to find, and Li Yuexing spotted it before long.
However, by the time Li Yuexing had walked on his own two feet to the gate of Villa 1, about twenty minutes had passed.
"Zijing! Zijing!"
Li Yuexing shouted toward the villa’s main gate, but for a long time, there was no response.
「Inside Villa 1.」
"Aunt Wang, a friend of mine has arrived. Could you please go open the gate and bring him in?"
Hearing Yun Zijin’s words, Wang Minli quickly agreed.
When she reached the main gate of Villa 1, Wang Minli first checked the surveillance camera feed. Only after confirming that the visitor posed no threat did she open the gate.
