Very unsatisfactory results.

Closing the door to her rented apartment, Tao Yaoyao stood outside and gently let out a long breath.

It was strange.

Even though she had been getting no less sleep recently than when she first started working, for some inexplicable reason, she felt a lingering exhaustion in her body that she just couldn't shake off.

It was as if dampness had seeped right into her bones.

Rusting her joints and making it difficult to move.

"Phew!"

She took a deep breath and exhaled heavily.

Tao Yaoyao forced herself to perk up, trying to ignore the unusual fatigue in her body.

Carrying her bag downstairs, Tao Yaoyao made her way to the company and began her usual busy routine.

After handling a few urgent matters, Tao Yaoyao finally had a moment of free time and subconsciously glanced at today's date.

Was it Sunday?

According to Lin Yu's usual habits, he would generally come to find her on a Saturday or Sunday.

But for some unknown reason.

He hadn't come last week...

Tao Yaoyao's eyes darted around restlessly.

She felt a bit guilty.

She didn't know why she was even thinking about this.

Wasn't it better if he didn't come?

She wished he would never come and disturb her life again.

Tao Yaoyao frantically tried to convince herself that she didn't care about that man at all.

But the more she thought this way, the more obvious her guilty conscience became.

In the end, she could only grab a stack of documents from her desk to force herself to shift her attention.

Her busy work continued from the early morning right up until noon.

While she was having lunch, the notification sound of a text message rang out abruptly.

Tao Yaoyao initially thought it was about work, but when she looked up, her gaze was firmly pinned to the phone screen.

Unknown Number: See you at the usual place.

So, he still came after all...

Tao Yaoyao pursed her lips. Looking at the short text message on the screen, besides resistance and nervousness, an indescribable feeling welled up in her heart...

...

Reaching his hand into his shirt, Lin Yu scratched his belly, then pulled his hand out, picked up the coffee on the table, and took a huge gulp with a look of bitter resentment.

Damn it.

This life.

It's really exhausting!

Lin Yu rubbed his temples with a headache.

Because Tang Manman, that clingy girl, had returned, his personal space was now severely lacking.

Right now, let alone finding the time to fly to City S.

He couldn't even go to the bathroom in peace.

Emmmmm...

It wasn't that the feeling of being relied on and clung to was bad.

It was just that his transformation plan here couldn't stop!

What if he didn't keep up with the treatment and Tao Yaoyao returned to normal?

Wouldn't all his efforts be in vain?

"Sigh."

Feeling that he simply couldn't free up any time, Lin Yu let out a heavy sigh.

The only reason he was able to come this time was because Tang Manman was feeling unwell during her period. After finally coaxing her to sleep, he managed to sneak away and rush over.

But this wasn't a long-term solution.

He couldn't just come once a month from now on, could he?

Amidst his dilemma, the thought of giving up, which had popped up several times before, jumped out once again, only to be ruthlessly stomped into the mud by Lin Yu.

Was he joking?

He had already gone this far.

Giving up now would be no different from an idiot who castrated himself to enter the palace, only to suddenly awaken his macho pride and decide he didn't want to be a eunuch anymore.

Since he had already done it.

He should walk this path to the very end!

His grip on the coffee cup gradually tightened, and Lin Yu's wavering heart steadied once again.

He picked up the cup and took another sip of coffee. As he put it down, Lin Yu suddenly noticed that Tao Yaoyao had already walked into the coffee shop.

She was dressed the same as always.

A white shirt and a pair of silky, soft black straight-leg pants.

It was actually quite strange.

Lin Yu watched Tao Yaoyao looking around, not having spotted him yet, and couldn't quite figure out the reason.

Her standard office worker outfit was clearly very ordinary, with no special decorations or embellishments, nor would it have an overly high price tag.

At most, it just made her look a bit more crisp and professional.

Yet Lin Yu just felt that she looked incredibly seductive in these clothes.

She was much more alluring than she was in college, when she always wore long dresses and looked like a campus goddess.

In the past, Lin Yu had plenty of theoretical experience from books.

Now, his practical experience had also leveled up.

So it didn't take long for Lin Yu to use his seasoned gaze to figure out exactly what made Tao Yaoyao so enticing.

It was because of her figure.

Tao Yaoyao's figure didn't actually have anything overly exaggerated about it.

Curvy in the front, but not actually that big.

Perky in the back, but not unmanageable.

Her proportions were just slightly above average.

The most special part of her body was her waist.

Her waist was very slim, which made the curves of her body stand out exceptionally well.

Especially when the waist button was fastened, the curve tightly hugging the back of her pants appeared even more perfect.

Therefore, even though she was completely covered up, this magnified temptation was actually far more eye-catching.

And it had to be said.

Her posture was excellent, incredibly excellent.

It wouldn't pale in comparison to a professional ballet dancer.

Right.

She seemed to be in the yoga club during college, wasn't she?

Yeah.

No wonder she knew so much "knowledge" (postures).

Just as Lin Yu was silently scrutinizing Tao Yaoyao's figure.

Perhaps sensing an ill-intentioned gaze, Tao Yaoyao looked over with a vigilant expression.

Caught peeping, Lin Yu didn't feel the slightest bit embarrassed. Instead, he cheerfully waved her over to sit down.

Tao Yaoyao's long eyelashes drooped slightly in reluctance, but her body obediently walked over.

Lin Yu stared at her as she sat across the table and asked straight to the point:

"Have you eaten?"

Tao Yaoyao naturally knew what Lin Yu meant and nodded gently.

"Alright."

"Then let's not waste time."

Lin Yu clapped the pastry crumbs off his hands and stood up, ready to get down to business.

Tao Yaoyao also stood up. As the two walked out of the coffee shop and were about to head to their other usual place, the always silent Tao Yaoyao suddenly spoke up and asked:

"You will keep your promise, right?"

"What promise?"

Lin Yu didn't register it for a moment.

"You said that after a year, you would never come and disturb our lives again."

Tao Yaoyao said with a serious expression.

Hearing Tao Yaoyao bring this up, Lin Yu suddenly felt the urge to test her. He furrowed his brows and responded with an impatient look:

"If you're not willing, you can leave."

"It's not like I'm forcing you to do anything."

After saying these extremely shameless words, Lin Yu secretly observed Tao Yaoyao's reaction.

He saw her face darken. After glaring at him angrily for a brief moment, she actually turned around and tried to leave.

Realizing that things were taking a bad turn, Lin Yu hurriedly stepped forward to block Tao Yaoyao. Putting on a smiling face, he said:

"Oh my."

"Look at you."

"I was just joking."

"Why are you getting mad?"

"I will definitely honor the agreement between us."

"You can rest assured."

Under Lin Yu's repeated assurances, Tao Yaoyao's expression finally softened, and she no longer stubbornly insisted on leaving.

He had only meant to do a simple test of his recent progress, yet this was the answer he received.

Lin Yu was extremely dissatisfied.

It seemed he had been far too lenient.

Today.

He was going to give her a real thrill!
