Chapter 31 - 31 Splitting the Money

Tang Tiantian reheated the meal, and the two of them sat face to face at the dining table, with Tang Tiantian continuously putting food into Li Xiaoyao’s bowl.

Watching Li Xiaoyao eat quickly and with apparent relish, Tang Tiantian asked quietly, "Is it good?"

"Delicious, your cooking skills are really great," Li Xiaoyao praised enthusiastically, causing Tang Tiantian’s face to turn red.

Li Xiaoyao wasn’t just saying it, the dishes Tang Tiantian made were indeed delicious, having appearance, aroma, and flavor all in one, indicating she cooked regularly.

Li Xiaoyao had a large appetite. Ever since his body had mutated, his appetite had soared. Despite having eaten at the hotel earlier, he hadn’t actually been satisfied.

The spread of dishes Tang Tiantian had prepared was wiped clean by Li Xiaoyao in less than half an hour, leaving her staring in astonishment.

After eating their fill, Li Xiaoyao rested on the sofa while Tang Tiantian went to wash the dishes. Their actions made them seem like a young married couple.

Once she had finished cleaning up, Tang Tiantian sat beside Li Xiaoyao and asked, "Why did you transfer so much money to me?"

"That was a bonus from the company. I don’t have a bank card, so I let the finance department transfer it to your card first," Li Xiaoyao explained.

Tang Tiantian was somewhat surprised. She racked her brain but couldn’t figure out how Li Xiaoyao could have received a bonus after only a day or two at work. At the same time, she felt moved that Li Xiaoyao trusted her enough to temporarily keep the hundred thousand Xuan Country Currency in her bank account.

Could it be that he likes her?

Tang Tiantian’s face was slightly flushed as she asked, "Aren’t you afraid I’ll keep your money for myself?"

"You’re not that kind of woman."

Li Xiaoyao was very accurate in assessing people. Although he had only known Tang Tiantian for a few days, he already had a detailed understanding of her character and many aspects of her personality.

First of all, Tang Tiantian was definitely not the type to be vain or to disdain the poor and love the rich, which was evident from her rejection of Zhang Biao.

"So, what kind of woman am I?" Tang Tiantian asked with a bit of playfulness, batting her eyelashes.

Li Xiaoyao replied, "Beautiful, kind, not petty, open and hearty."

Tang Tiantian was touched. She didn’t expect Li Xiaoyao to think so highly of her, but with the flattery came a hint of sadness as she said, "I’m not as perfect as you think."

"There are no perfect people in the world, only relative perfection. Alright, it’s getting late, let’s rest," Li Xiaoyao said as he stood up and headed for the room.

"Li Xiaoyao," Tang Tiantian suddenly called out to him, then handed him a bank card, saying, "All your money is in this card, the PIN is on the back."

Li Xiaoyao took the card, smiled, and said, "I’ll treat you to a big meal in a few days."

Tang Tiantian smiled sweetly, "Okay."

After taking a bath, Li Xiaoyao sat cross-legged on the bed, feeling the inside of his body.

Since he began cultivation, Li Xiaoyao had distinctly felt a great change in his body. First, he had developed the ability to find anyone within a ten-mile radius with complete accuracy, as long as he had seen the person before, that is.

Secondly, he had acquired the ability to become invisible and also had x-ray vision.

Li Xiaoyao thought that just with these abilities, he could be invincible in this world.

But Li Xiaoyao couldn’t be sure whether he was the only one in the world with such fantastic powers.

If there were others with these abilities, it was uncertain whether this would be a good or bad thing for Li Xiaoyao.

The night passed without incident.

Li Xiaoyao arrived at the company and pulled open the drawer of his office desk, where a leather bag containing the 200,000 reward money brought by Officer Zhang yesterday was stored.

Li Xiaoyao picked up the telephone and called the security department, asking for the ten guards who had gone to Wang Ru’an’s house and Xiao Quan to come to his office.

The security guards arrived quickly, standing erect in the office as if waiting for a Military Governor’s inspection.

Li Xiaoyao looked at the guards, standing tall like pine trees, and said, "Don’t stand like that, relax a bit, we’re not having a meeting."

The guards exchanged glances, chuckled, and smiled. They liked a boss with Li Xiaoyao’s personality—no airs about him, publicly spirited, and generous.

Li Xiaoyao tossed the leather bag onto the table, and the guards’ eyes instantly followed it. When Li Xiaoyao unzipped the bag, revealing the red bills inside, the guards were stunned.

"Hiss~"

The guards sharply inhaled, marveling at the large bag full of money—how much was in there?

Most importantly, they didn’t know why Li Xiaoyao was showing them so much money. Was he going to hand out salaries?

But that wasn’t right; salaries were always distributed by the finance department.

Watching the bewildered looks on the guards’ faces, Li Xiaoyao leaned against the office desk and called out, "Mosquito, come here."

The guard nicknamed Mosquito walked over with confusion, and watched as Li Xiaoyao pulled a stack of bills from the bag. There were twenty stacks inside the bag, each stack amounting to ten thousand Xuan Country Currency.

Li Xiaoyao placed a stack of crisp bills into Mosquito’s hand and said, "Take it."

Mosquito’s palms trembled, and he shook his head, "Boss, I can’t take this money."

Li Xiaoyao held his hand, smiled, and said, "Don’t be hasty to refuse. Wait till I’ve explained, and if you still don’t want it then, you can give it back to me."

Li Xiaoyao patted the leather bag and continued, "There’s two hundred thousand in here. This money was brought by Officer Zhang from the police station. He gave it because we assisted with a case."

"The case was solved, and you contributed to that success, so I can’t keep all this money for myself," Li Xiaoyao explained. With a teasing smile, he looked at Mosquito, "Do you still not want the money? If you don’t, give it to me."

Mosquito immediately clenched the money tightly, holding it in his embrace, and grinned, "Boss, you’re really good to us. Actually, on that day, we didn’t do much, just stood by the door for a while."

Li Xiaoyao took out another stack of bills and handed it to another guard, saying, "If you worked hard, you definitely deserve to be paid."

The guards felt a surge of excitement upon hearing this.

They had only stood at the villa’s entrance for a few minutes, and while they hadn’t played a significant role in solving the case, Li Xiaoyao distributed the bonus to them, giving each one ten thousand.

It must be said that Li Xiaoyao was indeed very considerate, and the guards truly respected him.

After distributing a hundred thousand Xuan Country Currency, Li Xiaoyao said, "The rest of you can go back now; Xiao Quan, stay behind."

The guards left, leaving only Li Xiaoyao and Xiao Quan in the room.

Xiao Quan knew that being kept back by Li Xiaoyao meant he was definitely going to receive money as well.

Mosquito and the others were given ten thousand for just standing outside the villa for a few minutes. However, he had accompanied Li Xiaoyao running around so much and even posed as a police officer. Xiao Quan surmised that Li Xiaoyao would give him more than just ten thousand.

Under Xiao Quan’s expectant gaze, Li Xiaoyao began to take money out of the leather bag.
