My Sexy Female CEO

"Haha, you really don't need to be so polite," Lin Yifan responded.

"We're not that close, so it's better to settle things clearly."

Li Xiangmei's face lit up with a smile, no longer troubled.

From this, it was clear that Lin Yifan buying the pendant for her held some significance in her heart.

"Haha, whatever. It doesn't matter to me whether you repay or not."

Lin Yifan didn't care about such small matters; having said all he needed to, it was now up to Li Xiangmei to decide.

They went shopping and bought a lot of clothes; Lin Yifan paid for everything, as Xiaoqing and her friends were quite poor.

This trip cost them tens of thousands of yuan, which was equivalent to several months' salary for them, so they really couldn't afford expensive things.

After shopping, it was already evening.

Before parting ways, Xiaoqing added Lin Yifan's chat account, intending to secretly discuss money matters with him.

With such a generous benefactor, why not take advantage?

At night, when everyone was asleep, Xiaoqing took out her phone and sent a message to Lin Yifan.

Lin Yifan knew Xiaoqing would message, so he had been waiting; once he received the message, they started chatting freely.

Xiaoqing asked how much Lin Yifan was willing to give them.

Asking for money was embarrassing, so she usually asked how much the other party was willing to offer.

Lin Yifan thought for a moment, then asked if one hundred million would be suitable.

Upon hearing this, Xiaoqing was stunned, unsure of how to describe her excitement.

One hundred million! Just like that, how can someone be so generous? It seems Lin Yifan really wasn't short on money.

Since it was a gift, there was no reason to hesitate, so Xiaoqing said it was enough.

One shouldn't be too greedy; being content brings happiness.

One hundred million should be enough for her and Li Xiangmei to spend a lifetime if used wisely.

The transaction was smoothly agreed upon, and Lin Yifan asked Xiaoqing for the bank account; he would have someone transfer the money in a few days.

Xiaoqing didn't hesitate and immediately sent the bank account to Lin Yifan.

Before ending the chat, Lin Yifan repeatedly instructed that Xiaoqing must share this money with Li Xiangmei.

Xiaoqing understood Lin Yifan's intention, but even if he hadn't mentioned it, she would share the one hundred million with Li Xiangmei because they were close sisters and confidants, sometimes even sharing clothes; such deep sisterhood wouldn't allow her to keep it all to herself.

With both parties in agreement, the chat ended.

Lin Yifan lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling, lost in thought.

He wasn't sure if what he did was right, but now he could only take it one step at a time.

The next day, Xiaoqing and Li Xiangmei took a flight, leaving Ulysses.

Before departing, Li Xiangmei felt reluctant because she had met someone special here.

Now, the person had grown stronger, yet also appeared more weathered.

She didn't know what the person was doing but felt an increasing distance, no longer the familiar person she once knew.

"Sigh! They are from different worlds; why bother with everything?"

She sighed, seemingly having made a decision in her heart.

Xiaoqing remained carefree, as playful and cheerful as ever.

Now she no longer had to worry about money, which she credited to both her own and Li Xiangmei's efforts.

"It seems the decision to bring them together was the right one."

Even now, she felt smug and without regret.

Today, the gambling stone workshop opened, and Lin Yifan finally got to see what the legendary emerald looked like.

Led by the Sixth Elder of the Long Family, he promptly arrived at the gambling stone workshop.

The workshop was bustling, with vendors displaying various stones on both sides of the street.

Among these stones, some were jade stones, while others were ordinary; whether you could pick the right one was up to your eyesight, judgment, and experience.

In gambling stone, one could get rich overnight, or go broke; it depended on your choice.

Most who came here had some money because buying even one stone could cost thousands or even tens of thousands; the ones with a higher chance of containing jade were even more expensive, ranging from hundreds of thousands to millions.

Lin Yifan didn't care about jade stones; he only cared about the emerald. So he quickly passed through the bustling street and headed straight to the largest store.

The Sixth Elder of the Long Family intended to try his luck with a few stones himself, but since Lin Yifan insisted on seeing the emerald, he had no choice but to accompany him.

In such situations, bringing outsiders is inconvenient, as one must constantly consider their feelings.

The largest store in the gambling workshop was controlled by the Mu Family from the Capital City, with the Wudang Sect as their major backing; even the Sedochi Clan, supported by the Kunlun Sect, dared not offend them.

The emerald had attracted a lot of attention, including the Kunlun Sect, who had been searching for the whereabouts of the Green Immortal Ring.

So, Xu Anzhi, who had been defeated by Lin Yifan yesterday, also came.

Xu Anzhi was hesitant to come here because the person who attacked him yesterday used the unique martial arts of the Wudang Sect.

Therefore, he thought Lin Yifan might be here on business, possibly staying at this store.

If everything was as he assumed, he would have to leave empty-handed today. Lin Yifan would certainly stop the staff from selling him the stone that might be emerald, or so he thought.

Despite the slim chances, he still came because what if Lin Yifan wasn't here? What if he had already left or wasn't a disciple of the Wudang Sect?

Several reasons compelled him to take heavy steps and come here.

He carried a significant mission from his sect, so he couldn't let them down; he had to find the Desert Dynasty and the missing Thirteenth Elder.

The Thirteenth Elder had obtained something extremely important here, but when trying to return it to the sect, he disappeared without a trace.

Finding the Thirteenth Elder meant completing the assignment, earning rewards from the Sect Leader, and possibly gaining recognition towards becoming an elder in the future.

Thus, this also became a major reason driving him to this place.

Xu Anzhi arrived early, and upon seeing no sign of Lin Yifan, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Perhaps Lin Yifan had already left Ulysses and returned to the sect.

However, just a few minutes after he relaxed, Lin Yifan walked through the entrance.

Upon seeing Lin Yifan, Xu Anzhi was dumbfounded, already expecting the worst outcome.

When Lin Yifan walked into the store, he didn't expect to meet a "familiar person."
