{Chapter: 70 I just want to wear them for you, Master!}
"Wow! Is she the store manager? She's absolutely stunning!"
"My heart is racing! Now I understand why the young master treats the manager so much better than the rest of us!"
"This is making me want to dream about the manager at night!"
"I feel the same!"
"Go on, go away, don't be a nuisance," Lin Yuan waved his hand, dismissing the playful teasing from Xiao Lian and Xiao He.
"By the way, young master, someone just dropped off a huge pile of clothes. Did you purchase them?" Xiao Lian pointed to the collection of clothing bags piled neatly on the side.
"Yeah," Lin Yuan nodded.
"I got a few sets for both of you. Your names are written on them, so feel free to pick what you like," Lin Yuan explained.
"Wow!!!" Xiao Lian and Xiao He immediately rushed over to the pile, excited.
"Remember, you can't wear that 'sexy' patched-up suit anymore," Lin Yuan directed his attention to Qiu Wanxi.
"Yeah… but can Wanxi not wear these beautiful dresses?" Qiu Wanxi asked softly, her voice tinged with uncertainty.
"Huh? Why not? Are you not satisfied with the dresses?" Lin Yuan inquired, his confusion evident.
Qiu Wanxi shook her head. "No, I just... I want to wear them for you, Master. Just like I did with that patched-up suit."
Her cheeks flushed, and a shy, radiant smile spread across her face.
Lin Yuan paused for a brief moment, his gaze softening as he took in her words and her smile.
"Of course," he smiled warmly, patting Qiu Wanxi's head affectionately.
It dawned on Lin Yuan that the simple clothes Qiu Wanxi had bought before were likely a reflection of her desire to look beautiful—especially for him.
"Silly girl," Lin Yuan whispered, his gaze filled with understanding. While Xiao Lian and Xiao He were distracted by the clothes, Lin Yuan leaned in and kissed Qiu Wanxi's lips gently.
Qiu Wanxi's face turned an even deeper shade of red as she waved goodbye to Lin Yuan with a bashful expression.
Lin Yuan returned to his car, a quiet smile tugging at his lips as he settled into the driver's seat.
He took a moment to check his attribute panel:
[Host: Lin Yuan]
[Counterattack Points: 3000]
[Wealth value: 7 billion]
[Attributes:]
[Strength: 150, Speed: 110, Reaction: 110, Charisma: 200, Physique: 150]
[Skills:]
[Medical skills: Divine level, Piano: Divine Level, Stocks: Advanced Level, Car skills: Intermediate Level, Violin: Intermediate Level, Calligraphy: Intermediate Level, English: Elementary Level,…]
[Favorability Panel:]
[Yan Ruoyue: 30, Qiu Wanxi: 99, Qiao Siying: -10, Chi Qian: 3]
[Loyalty Panel:]
[Wang Ergou: 90]
The counterattack points had climbed to 3000. Almost all of them had come from Qiu Wanxi's actions today. Her favorability towards him surged from 60 to 99.
It was as though the final point had become the tipping point. After everything that had transpired between them, it was clear—Qiu Wanxi would now agree to anything Lin Yuan requested.
Lin Yuan allowed himself a moment of reflection. He could essentially consider their relationship to have reached a new stage. First base: kissing; second base: touching above the waist; third base: below the waist; home base: everything after.
But Lin Yuan hesitated. He knew that many would rush to take advantage of such opportunities without a second thought, but for him, the consequences were significant. Qiu Wanxi was already dealing with a severe illness, and indulging in his desires might worsen her condition.
Lin Yuan had done so much for Qiu Wanxi already, and seeing her like a fragile candle in the wind made him hesitant to push too fast.
Qiu Wanxi, who had been on the brink of death due to her liver condition, had been given a second chance at life thanks to Lin Yuan's help. Yet, the final stage of her treatment required a major surgery, one that was costly and out of her reach.
Qiu Wanxi had, however, refused to accept more gifts from Lin Yuan, feeling like she had already received too much. Lin Yuan had respected her wishes, but now, he was determined to use the flourishing cake shop as an excuse to persuade her to undergo the surgery.
Soon enough, the shop's success would bring in enough capital. In less than a week, everything would be in place for Qiu Wanxi to receive the life-saving operation.

As Lin Yuan drove, his phone suddenly rang.
"Hello? Any updates?" Lin Yuan asked, picking up the call.
