The more she thought about it, the more confused she became. Ling Yi simply emptied her mind and sat in front of the desk to play chess with herself.

However, as soon as she made a move, she saw the image of Mo Wuchen coaxing her to play chess. Although he was much younger than her, his words were full of doting.

She couldn't play chess anymore, so Ling Yi could only focus on the pen and ink beside her. But when she picked up the pen, she saw the image of Mo Wuchen secretly drawing a picture of her while she was asleep...

Helplessly putting down the pen, Ling Yi began to think. She had never felt that Mo Wuchen's figure was so omnipresent before. Why did she think of him when she did anything today?

Could it be that it was the end of the year and everyone went to watch the fireworks, and she was bored alone in the store?

Before Ling Yi could think of it, she heard the voice of a servant outside the door, "Manager Ling Yi, someone just left a brocade box outside the door. Do you want to open it and take a look?"

Hearing this, Ling Yi's attention was finally drawn a little bit, and she stood up and walked towards the door.

As the servant walked towards the lobby, she saw an exquisite brocade box on the table closest to the stairs. The color was her favorite green, and there was an exquisite hibiscus pattern painted on it.

Green, hibiscus... At just one glance, Lingyi had an idea in her mind.

With a trembling heart, she took two steps forward and opened the brocade box. She saw a green jade bracelet inside, which was crystal clear and worth a lot of money.

Under the jade bracelet, there was a note -

Sister Lingyi, I haven't seen you for a year. Are you okay? I hope you can wear this bracelet when we meet again.

The note was unsigned, but it was obviously unnecessary to sign it.

Lingyi raised a smile at the corner of her mouth, picked up the bracelet and put it directly on her wrist. The size was just right, and the clear green made her already delicate skin look even whiter.

I have to say that Mo Wuchen's vision is really good.

However, what Lingyi cares more about at this moment is when the day he said goodbye would be.

And what has he become now?

Lingyi thought for a long time but couldn't figure it out, but one thing that was clear was that her concerns were dispelled.

Because Mo Wuchen still remembered the six-month agreement between them.

At night, Lingyi tossed and turned for a long time before falling asleep, but in her dreams, she was also full of Mo Wuchen's figure.

He hugged her and kissed her, so ambiguous that when Lingyi woke up the next morning, her cheeks were hot.

Lingyi secretly thought that she was not calm and was controlled by a brother who was a few years younger than her. However, when her eyes fell on the jade bracelet on her wrist, she couldn't help but chuckle.

Today is the beginning of the year, but Linjiang Tower does not rest, so Lingyi rushed to Linjiang Tower after breakfast.

However, as soon as she entered the door, she saw that everyone looked at her at the same time. Lingyi felt a little guilty. Could it be that they knew that Mo Wuchen secretly gave her a gift last night?

But... it's just a gift, why is she so guilty?

"What are you doing here? Are you not working?" Lingyi said frankly, but Chongyang motioned her to look at the table.

Following Chongyang's gaze, she saw a stack of wedding bags on it, which looked like there were about a dozen, and the one on the top was particularly thick.

"What's going on?" Lingyi picked up the thickest one on top and opened it, and saw that it contained a full two thousand taels of silver notes.

Chongming was excited and suspicious, "I don't know, I found it at the door early in the morning, and I don't know which god of wealth sent us silver."

Lingyi rolled her eyes at him with some disdain, and counted the wedding bags carefully. There were thirteen in total, which was exactly the number of all the people in Linjiang Building.

Chongyang and the others didn't know who sent them, but Lingyi had already guessed it. She stuffed the top one into her arms, and gave the bottom three to Chongyang, Chongming and Chonghui one by one, and the rest to other people in the store.

Chongyang and the other three people each received 500 taels, and the rest received 100 taels each. The distribution was reasonable and logical, which made everyone guess the identity of the mysterious "God of Wealth".

Originally, when they saw the stack of wedding bags, they guessed that it was Lingyi. It can be seen from Lingyi's reaction that it was obviously not her, not to mention who would give out wedding bags on New Year's Day and give herself one.

But who else could it be except Lingyi? It can't be Mo Wuchen who is far away in Hualing City, right?

Seeing that everyone couldn't guess it, Lingyi didn't mean to remind them at all, and turned around and walked towards the familiar position.

However, before Lingyi sat down, Huang Ying came in from the door with a visiting card.

"Master, this is the visiting card just sent by Yuexialou, saying that their boss wants to see you."

"To see me?" Lingyi was surprised. She took the initiative to ask for a meeting before, but they directly refused. Now they have sent a visiting card in person, so what is the plan of Yuexialou?

Wait...

Suddenly, a bold idea flashed through Ling Yi's mind. Could it be that the so-called behind-the-scenes boss of Yuexialou...is actually him?

Thinking of this, Ling Yi took back the refusal that was on the tip of her tongue and responded, "Let him come to Linjianglou to see me at noon."

Huang Ying, who was basically sure that Ling Yi would refuse, was stunned immediately. Agreed?

Yuexialou rejected them first, but now Ling Yi agreed to the invitation. When did their master become so good-tempered?

So Huang Ying asked again, uncertain, "Master, are you... sure?"

"Sure, by the way, go buy me some rouge later, and then... forget it, I'll go by myself." As she said that, Ling Yi had already stood up and walked towards the store entrance.

If Ling Yi guessed correctly, this was the first time she and Mo Wuchen had met after a year of separation, so they had to be more serious.

Yes, according to Ling Yi's guess, the owner behind Yuexialou was Mo Wuchen, who had long returned to Hualing City.

If that's the case, then the previous doubts can be explained. The second branch of the Meng family is because of Meng Hanzhou. As for the Yan family, one is because of the relationship between Meng Hanzhou and Yan Jiao, and the other is that the Yan family had done a heavy trick on her last year. Although the matter was resolved in the end, Linjianglou still lost nearly ten thousand taels, but she remembered that she had already avenged that revenge at that time?

Without thinking too much, Ling Yi went directly to her own clothing store, picked and chose in the store for a long time, and then chose the best one.

It was still the blue color she usually wore, but there was a circle of light-colored small flowers on the hem of the skirt, which added a bit of playfulness to her originally cold and elegant temperament.

Lingyi didn't put on makeup very often, and her hair was usually done casually, but today she went to her own cosmetics shop to fix it for a long time before returning satisfied.

Calculating the time, the agreed time was almost up.

When Lingyi returned to Linjiang Tower, there were already a few tables of guests in the lobby, but it was not busy.

Looking at Lingyi who was refreshed after going out, Chongyang and others were stunned on the spot, and Chonghui was the first to try to speak: "Sister Lingyi looks so beautiful today, are you going to meet someone?"

The three of them have known Lingyi for twenty years, and this is the first time they have seen Lingyi dress up so carefully.

Chongming touched his chin. He had just asked Huangying that the only person who came to see Lingyi today was the owner of Yuexia Tower, but it didn't need to be so grand to meet the rival family, right? So...

Ling Yi nodded in a good mood, "Well, when someone from Yuexialou comes, bring him upstairs." After that, she went upstairs.

Chongyang's heart was hanging. It was over. They helped Mo Wuchen to watch Lingyi for a year, but someone got there first.

He looked at the other two people with reluctance and whispered, "What do you think? If we secretly intercept the person and Sister Lingyi finds out, will she beat us to death?"

Chonghui gave him a positive look, "Don't doubt it. If you dare to delay Sister Lingyi's business, you must be dying."

Chongming also sighed, "Forget it, let's leave it to fate. What if the person who comes is an old man?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a familiar and gentle male voice behind him, "Hello, I am Mo Wuchen, the owner of Yuexialou. I came to meet Lingyi as scheduled."
