Zi Yi never expected him to kick the ball back to her. She did not answer the question directly and deliberately said, “How much do you think your brother is worth?”

“Priceless.” After Lu Jingye said that, he surveyed the living room and asked. “Do you have water?”

“I’m thirsty.

Zi Yi walked over to the refrigerator. She glanced at the yogurt, milk, juice, cola, soda, and asked, “What do you want to drink?”

“Mineral water will do.”

Zi Yi turned around and looked at him with an intense gaze.

“What’s wrong?” Lu Jingye stood up and walked over to the refrigerator. When he took a glance, he turned around and looked at her.

Zi Yi shrugged her shoulders. “There’s no mineral water. Choose whatever you like.”

Lu Jingye paused for a moment and suggested. “Other than milk and yogurt, it’s best to drink less of the other beverages.”

Zi Yi smiled at him. “Uncle, do you know what another name for those beverages is on the internet? They are called happy drinks.”

Uncle?

Lu Jingye looked at her with his abstruse eyes.

This young lady’s naming capabilities have improved. First, it was Mr. Busybody and now, it has become Uncle.

Zi Yi glanced at the overly disciplined Lu Jingye and simply placed a bottle of juice in his hands and took a yogurt for herself. With a turn, she walked towards the sofa.

Lu Jingye checked the juice in his hands but did not return it in the end. He held onto it and followed her.

However, he did not drink it after he sat down. Instead, he looked while she drank the yogurt drink.

Zi Yi was fond of all the beverages from ancient Earth. Science and technology were very advanced in interstellar space. The stronger they were, the more nutrients their body needed. Therefore, all these delicious and yummy food and drinks were not available.

She had purchased all the best beverage brands from the internet in one go.

While Zi Yi drank her yogurt, she did not forget to look at Lu Jingye. She paid no heed when he remained motionless and they continued to discuss how much his little brother was worth.

“Since your brother is priceless, I guess it’s not excessive of me to ask for this much?”

She raised a finger while she spoke.

“One billion?”

“No.”

“Ten billion?”

“That’s right.”

“Ok.”

Lu Jingye had only considered for two seconds before he agreed. “However, you’re a young lady and it’s not safe to ask for so much money. I’ll split the ten billion and give it to you in ten different transactions.”

Zi Yi looked into his eyes and suddenly asked, “Are you suspicious of me?”

Lu Jingye’s eyes darkened.

Yet, Zi Yi nodded with an indifferent expression and agreed. “It’ll do.”

He must have investigated her before and it would be strange if he was not suspicious, especially when she appeared so abnormal now.

She continued to drink her yogurt with a calm expression. There was no excitement on her face like how an ordinary person would have upon receiving ten billion.

A strange feeling surfaced in his heart when he watched her charming phoenix eyes blinking as she sucked on the straw. “Forgive me for asking, but is this villa yours?”

“That’s right.”

“You’re staying here alone?”

“That’s right.”

Lu Jingye suddenly remained silent for a moment before he asked, “You’re not exactly wary of me. Aren’t you afraid I would have impure thoughts?”

Zi Yi chuckled when she heard what he said.

She moved closer and leaned towards him on purpose.

A faint, sweet smelling fragrance engulfed his nose and Lu Jingye looked at her disapprovingly.

Zi Yi looked at his exceedingly handsome and serious face as she curled her lips into a smile. “You’re very disciplined, principled, gentle, and courteous. You’re not fond of women and have an excellent mind for business. Sometimes, you can earn tens of billions in a single day and ten billion is nothing to you. Unless you’re particularly stingy and want to take it back… otherwise, someone like you has nothing I have to be vigilant of. Unless… you have other plans towards me.”

Lu Jingye looked at her with his pitch-black eyes. The young lady was different from the person reflected in the investigation.

Who was she?

They seemed to have a tacit understanding and did not mention this topic.

“You seem to have specially checked up on me?”

“Not only you. I’ve also checked your whole family.” Zi Yi appeared frank while she talked nonsense. “To get a good price for your little brother, I have worked hard.”
