Chapter 116: Coming to Propose Marriage
"You..." Lin Shanshan was infuriated, feeling that the apology was just a veiled insult; however, she couldn't get angry because, after all, he was apologizing.
In the end, she had no choice but to stomp her foot, turn her face away, and stop looking at Lin Yifan's obnoxious face.
Seeing Lin Shanshan's face turn crimson with anger, Lin Yifan felt a great sense of achievement. After chatting with Zhao Dabing for a while, he left.
Taking a taxi back to his rental place, as soon as he went upstairs and stepped out of the elevator, he heard jubilant shouting from next door: "Pentakill! Yay! Finally got a pentakill!"
"Pentakill? What the heck? Is there a need to be that happy?" Lin Yifan was somewhat speechless; then he walked up to his door, took out his keys, and prepared to go inside.
However, just then, Han Meiling bounded out of her room.
Hearing the commotion behind him, curious Lin Yifan turned around, wanting to see what was going on.
But the moment he turned around, Han Meiling, the busty beauty, playfully jumped onto him without a hint of shyness.
"Come on! Do you have to be this forward?" Lin Yifan felt deeply speechless.
Taking a deep breath, he smelled the rose fragrance of Han Meiling's bra, instantly lost his senses; at that moment, he really wanted to open his mouth and take a bite.
"Neighbor Lin, do you know? I got a pentakill! The most badass pentakill! So happy! So happy! I can show off to my fans again!" After being excited on Lin Yifan for a little while, Han Meiling jumped down and then hurriedly ran back to her room.
At the scene, Lin Yifan stood there, still longing, his mind full of Han Meiling's soft, white bosom, and it took him a while to mutter, "Damn it, that was such a tease."
After that, he turned around, unlocked his door, and entered his room.
Sitting on the sofa, he took out the fifty million dollar check he had extorted tonight and couldn't calm down for a long time. Now, he was also a millionaire.
"Now that I'm worth over ten million, I'll propose tomorrow!" Lin Yifan secretly decided.
Previously, he had always been hesitant to accept Zhou Jiajia because he feared she might end up leading a hard life with him and partly because he feared her parents might not approve of the marriage; after all, they were wealthy, and what right did he, a mere worker, have to marry their beautiful daughter?
Now with fifty million, he felt a bit more confident.
With an excited heart, he took out his phone, dialed a number, and prepared to share the good news with Zhou Jiajia.
"Beep! Beep!"
After two rings, a sweet voice came from the other end: "My dear future husband, what's up?"
"I've got some great news," Lin Yifan said mysteriously.
"What good news?" Zhou Jiajia asked curiously.
"Guess?"
"Do you have ten million now?" Zhou Jiajia replied, guessing.
Other than that, she couldn't think of anything else that would excite Lin Yifan enough to call her about it.
"Amazing! You guessed right," Lin Yifan praised.
"How did you come into so much money?" Zhou Jiajia asked.
Lin Yifan was just a bodyguard with a monthly salary of over fifty thousand, so how could he suddenly have so much money? It was very odd.
"I extorted a lecherous boss tonight, so that's how I got it," Lin Yifan answered truthfully.
"So, can you marry me now?" Zhou Jiajia asked excitedly.
Lin Yifan had promised her that as soon as he had ten million, he would marry her immediately; now that Lin Yifan had ten million, it was time for him to fulfill his promise.
"Of course! I've decided to propose to your family tomorrow," Lin Yifan answered confidently.
"Yay! I'm so happy! Finally, I can be with my future husband forever!" Over the phone, Zhou Jiajia overflowed with joy, like a little girl, her heart bursting with happiness.
This news was undoubtedly the best news she had ever received in her life.
After chatting for a while, Lin Yifan went to take a bath; tonight had been particularly exhausting for him, so he needed a hot bath to relieve his fatigue.
Lying in the bathtub, recalling tonight's events, he took out his phone and searched the internet for information about cultivation.
However, his search yielded only useless stuff; he couldn't find any methods at all.
"It seems the Cultivation Methods must be in the hands of the cultivators in the Cultivation World," Lin Yifan murmured to himself.
Then, he remembered someone, the monk who had robbed him at the 24-hour automatic bank—Yi Chen.
"I wonder where he is now, it would be great if I had his contact information." Lin Yifan felt he had missed something; he should have asked for detailed knowledge about cultivation methods back then.
Opportunities do not come twice, now he could only explore on his own.
Sitting cross-legged, he began to try Qi Refinement; but after failing time and again, he instantly fell out of love with it.
"Forget it! I'd better capture a cultivator and ask them thoroughly," Lin Yifan decided to put aside the matter of cultivation for now, as rushing wasn't helping.
Lying in the bathtub, looking up at the ceiling, he began planning the proposal for tomorrow.
"I wonder what impression my future in-laws have of me?" Lin Yifan was very curious, yet also a bit nervous; after all, this was his first time meeting the parents of his future bride.
He slept through the night, and upon waking, it was another clear morning.
Outside, the crisp songs of birds could already be heard; the street vendors were bustling, and smoke rose gently from their stalls.
At eight o'clock, Lin Yifan got out of bed to brush his teeth and wash his face, beginning a new day's journey.
Today was the latest he had ever woken up since arriving in Guiyuan City, as he usually got up around six.
The reason he had slept in was that An Qi was accompanying her mother to the hospital today to visit her sick father; An Qi was traveling in a car provided by Uncle Fu, so he had the day off.
Facing the mirror, he combed his hair and tidied his clothes, making himself look neat and dashing, then Lin Yifan went downstairs for breakfast.
After breakfast, he drove to a nearby bank to cash a fifty million check from the previous night.
Honestly, he wasn't sure if the check would be honored; it looked somewhat unreal.
Fortunately, everything went smoothly; he successfully cashed the fifty million; now his net worth was officially over ten million.
With an excited heart, he left the bank, then went to a store to buy a bunch of gifts and proceeded to Zhou Jiajia's house.
Meanwhile, Zhou Jiajia had already gotten up; presently, she was pulling her parents along, waiting for her future husband to come and propose.
She was very happy, but her parents felt differently.
Today, when their daughter told them someone was coming to propose, they had been frowning all along, visibly unhappy.
