You won't even show your face—truly, you're not even as good as a weasel.

Yichen smiled and was just about to get up and walk toward the floor-to-ceiling window when Fang Li pushed open the door and came in.

“President Lin, these are the materials regarding your recent interactions with Miss Qiao. Please take a look—”

“I remember Joanna.”

“What?”

Yichen’s gaze was clear. “I remember her. Everything that happened with her recently, I remember it all.”

Fang Li looked puzzled. “How can you remember—”

“My amnesia…” There was a light in his eyes. “It seems to be cured.”

Fang Li was even more confused. “President Lin, you’ve been working all day today. How could your amnesia just disappear?”

Yichen didn’t understand either, but then suddenly thought of Xiyang.

She’d been here all day today.

Could it be because of Xiyang?

But five years ago, at the end of every month, she had been by his side, and he still forgot everything.

It was truly baffling.

He immediately called Panson and told him about the situation.

Panson’s first reaction was happiness. Then he analyzed, “Xiyang has always been special to you, so it makes sense that your amnesia would be cured because of her.”

“But she was always by my side before—why didn’t it go away then?”

Panson was just as puzzled.

Since they couldn’t figure it out, they decided not to dwell on it. The most important and joyous thing was that his amnesia had finally been cured.

Xiao Qi now only delivered takeout for Lin Yichen, so she had plenty of free time.

It seemed she hadn’t really explored Earth since she arrived.

She took out her wallet and counted the cash inside. “Xiao Bai, Auntie gave me money and said it’s my monthly salary. I never expected salaries on Earth to be this generous. Hahaha, I’m rich now!”

Xiao Bai, sprawled on the bed, lifted its head. “Yes, back on your home planet, you were just poor and plain, couldn’t find a partner, your abilities were weak—you were a low-level species. Who would have thought you’d become so popular on Earth?”

“Xiao Bai,” Xiao Qi poked its head in protest, “you’re my personal secretary. If you insult me, you’re insulting yourself. Besides, I’m so beautiful—how am I plain?”

“…”

“But you couldn’t find a partner on your home planet.”

“I couldn’t, or I wouldn’t?” Xiao Qi retorted confidently. “I just had high standards and didn’t like any of them.”

“Here, the big CEO is crazy about me. Even if he likes Ye Xiyang and not me, it’s still this face he loves. Doesn’t that prove I’m beautiful?”

Xiao Bai gave in. “Fine, rich and pretty lady, now that you have so much cash, how do you plan to spend it?”

“I haven’t thought about it,” Xiao Qi pondered. “Girls on Earth like to buy clothes, shoes, bags, cosmetics…”

She quickly lost interest. “But I was born beautiful—none of that is useful to me.”

Xiao Bai rolled its eyes. “Then what is useful to you?”

Xiao Qi’s big eyes darted around. She snapped her fingers. “Food! Xiao Bai, let me tell you, the food on Earth is truly delicious. Let’s go and have a feast right now.”

The result of their feast was…

They slumped in their chairs, too full to move.

“Xiao Qi,” Xiao Bai, also stuffed, lay on the table unwilling to move. “People say walking a hundred steps after a meal lets you live to ninety-nine. If you just sit after eating, you’ll get fat. If you want to become fat, keep sitting.”

Like all girls, Xiao Qi dreaded gaining weight. She rubbed her stomach and decided to go for a walk. By chance, she passed a jewelry shop and spotted two dolls at the entrance.

One black, one white.

Her first thought was that they looked just like those two brothers.

Without hesitation, she bought them.

“Black is for the older brother, white for the younger. So the black one goes to Lin Yichen, and the white one to his little brother…”

She’d give them as gifts when she delivered dinner.

When Xiao Qi returned to the restaurant, she found a crowd gathered outside. When she got closer, she realized they were all reporters.

The reporters kept shouting for the door to be opened.

Why were there so many reporters?

She couldn’t just walk in, so she teleported straight to her room.

She ran out and saw Fang Yun standing by the bar, looking helpless.

“Auntie, why are there so many reporters outside?”

Fang Yun looked at her in confusion. “Xiyang, the shop is locked—how did you get in?”

Xiao Qi changed the subject quickly, “Auntie, why are there so many reporters outside? Did you owe them money or something?”

“…”

“No, Lin Yichen was hospitalized after eating our food, wasn’t he? He’s a big CEO, so the news quickly reached the media. Now the reporters are saying our food is poisonous and want us to close down.”

“Damn, those reporters are everywhere,” Xiao Qi muttered as she took out her phone. “I’ll call Lin Yichen.”

Fang Yun didn’t stop her; only the person involved could solve this.

The call was quickly answered. “Hello! Lin Yichen, your food poisoning incident is all over the media, and now my aunt’s restaurant is surrounded by reporters. Hurry up and come explain.”

Yichen, sitting in the car, glanced at his watch, frowned, and didn’t hesitate. He said to Fang Li, who was driving, “Go to Aunt Fang’s restaurant.”

Fang Li was astonished. “President Lin, we finally got Cruz to agree to discuss the art exhibition. If you don’t show up, Cruz might…”

“You go ahead,” Yichen compromised. “Talk to Cruz first. I’ll take a taxi to Aunt Fang’s restaurant and be there in half an hour.”

The only reason to go to the restaurant was because of Miss Ye.

Fang Li knew exactly how important Ye Xiyang was to Lin Yichen.

“My hospitalization was due to an allergy. It had nothing to do with the restaurant.”

A calm, deep voice sounded behind them.

The reporters all turned.

At that moment, the restaurant door opened, and Xiao Qi and Fang Yun stepped out.

Lin Yichen, poised and imposing, stood there, his gaze locking onto Xiao Qi through the crowd of reporters.

Feeling that intense gaze, Xiao Qi froze in her tracks.

Fang Yun tugged her. “Xiyang, why aren’t you leaving?”

Xiao Qi lowered her head. “Auntie, since Lin Yichen is here, we don’t have to step in, right?”

Fang Yun gave her a look of mock reproach. “The CEO came all this way just to clear things up for you, and you won’t even show your face? You’re worse than a weasel.”

“…”

What do you mean, just for me!

With a gentle push from Fang Yun, Xiao Qi quickly passed through the reporters and stood beside the tall man.

Fang Yun slipped away at once.

Xiao Qi: “…”

Yichen put his arm around her and whispered in her ear, “We’re united against a common enemy.” Then he turned and addressed the reporters in a steady, clear voice.

Xiao Qi, looking up at his profile against the sunlight, listened to his magnetic voice. The man before her, with his poise and eloquence, was simply dazzling.

Oh my god, he’s really too handsome.

How can anyone be this handsome?

Even after the reporters had left, Xiao Qi was still lost in her infatuation.

Yichen still had matters to attend to and couldn’t stay long. “Xiyang, the issue is resolved. I have to go.”

“Oh,” she snapped out of her daze. “Wait, um…”

Yichen paused, waiting for her to finish.
