Automatic Navigation

Before getting married, she saw he had a car, a house, was a local, and seemed successful. After they married, she realized he had nothing but the house and that one car.

After deducting daily expenses, their monthly income was incredibly tight. When she was single, she could occasionally afford Haidilao, but after getting married, they rarely ate out. Every meal was homemade because it saved money.

After getting married, instead of the stable, easy life she imagined, the pressure increased. The couple argued every few days, and life was worse than before they were married.

Because her entire monthly income went towards household expenses, and her husband's income was even less than hers. After all, Lin Shiyu was an elite who had worked her way up after graduating from a good university. Although life wasn't easy, she was much better off than this local layabout.

Her husband simply relied on being a local to get a car and a house. In reality, his abilities were very average. According to their company's hiring standards, he wouldn't even qualify for the job.

Thus, after deducting expenses from their monthly income, even adding his husband's income didn't allow them to save any money. Life was incredibly and barely sufficient.

This kind of life was depressing. To outsiders, it seemed okay, but it wasn't a comfortable life to live.

But was this the life Lin Shiyu wanted?

Clearly not.

Lin Shiyu could soberly marry a man ten years older than her for a house and car, and she could also soberly and calmly get a divorce.

So after half a year of agony, she suddenly woke up. She directly announced the divorce and moved out to live alone in advance, entering the cooling-off period before the divorce.

And today, she finally completed the divorce.

"The divorce is done. No house, no car. My youth was wasted on this. Li Yang, why am I so unlucky?"

Lin Shiyu drank another glass of wine, looking at Li Yang with a troubled expression. "I just wanted a car and a house, was that wrong? I even sacrificed my youth, but I got nothing..."

Lin Shiyu rambled on, whether intentionally or not, her fair skin was largely exposed, giving Li Yang a good look.

Listening to Lin Shiyu, Li Yang also thought of his past self. He couldn't help but think that if he hadn't gotten the World Gate, he would likely be doing even worse than Lin Shiyu.

Don't underestimate Lin Shiyu just because she's a team leader. She worked hard and was exploited a lot to get there. Even then, she could only save a pathetic five thousand yuan a month.

If he hadn't gotten this World Gate...

"Alright, Sister Lin, as the saying goes, everything is fate, and not a single thing is up to us. Let's finish this glass and go back. You still have to work tomorrow."

With countless thoughts swirling in his mind, Li Yang shook his head with a smile, clinked glasses with Lin Shiyu, and spoke softly.

What was the point of thinking about these things? He was no longer his old self.

"Oh, okay."

Reminded, Lin Shiyu also realized it was getting late. After clinking glasses with Li Yang, she wobbled to her feet. Seeing the faint outline of her safety shorts, Li Yang pursed his lips, stepped forward, and helped her walk.

The designated driver was already called. Li Yang handed him the keys, helped Lin Shiyu into the back first, and then sat in the back himself to look after her.

"Mmm~"

Lin Shiyu had drunk quite a bit; she'd downed most of a case of beer. Feeling Li Yang sitting beside her in the car, she leaned towards him.

The car's interior was spacious, but with Lin Shiyu's alluring attire and exposed flesh, leaning against him made it seem suddenly crowded. The scent of perfume mixed with a light alcoholic smell, drifting from Lin Shiyu's hair into his nostrils. The wind coming in from the open window was a little cool.

After the air conditioning blew for a while, Li Yang reached out and closed the window. The rushing wind noise in the car instantly quieted down.

Lin Shiyu's full figure leaned beside him, swaying a bit from drinking. Li Yang was afraid she'd fall over. After closing the window, he instinctively reached out to put his arm around her shoulder to support her.

However, after looking at Lin Shiyu's black-stockinged thighs under her bodycon skirt, his right hand somehow slipped from her shoulder onto her black stockings.

The smooth, soft touch instantly traveled from his palm to his heart. His right hand instinctively stroked, and then Li Yang suddenly reacted, freezing for a moment before quickly stopping his errant hand.

Damn.

Automatic Navigation was on!

Li Yang felt a bit awkward and was about to pull his hand back when Lin Shiyu suddenly leaned closer into his embrace.

"..."

What did she mean?

Li Yang's eyes widened, looking at his female boss leaning in his arms, his expression extremely complex.

She had a tough life before, but now she understood and wanted to find someone who could make money?

His hand couldn't help but continue stroking her black stockings, while he couldn't help but think to himself, where in the world is there such a good thing?

But looking at Lin Shiyu's alluring figure and thinking back to when they used to rent and work together...

At most, I'll keep her.

Li Yang quietly made up his mind. He glanced at the designated driver. Fortunately, Lin Shiyu was sitting right next to the car door, and the rearview mirror couldn't see Lin Shiyu leaning in his arms. He immediately felt relieved and his mind began racing.

He didn't know if he was thinking correctly, but... he had already started to think along these lines involuntarily.

The atmosphere along the way suddenly became quiet. The designated driver didn't know if he noticed Li Yang constantly touching her black-stockinged thigh. When the car arrived at Li Yang's apartment building, after settling the fare, he rode away on his small electric scooter.

Li Yang's hand was still on Automatic Navigation, but he stopped it in time when they got out. He supported Lin Shiyu by the waist and walked her back to their room.

"Click~"

Opening the door and entering, he casually settled Lin Shiyu onto the sofa. Li Yang's mind was racing. Not yet sure what Lin Shiyu was thinking, he was about to leave and test the waters later,

Lin Shiyu, who had been silent, suddenly pulled his hand. "Li Yang, can you really make a lot of money now?"

Li Yang turned around and saw Lin Shiyu, her face flushed red, looking at him with moist eyes.

Was she drunk or not?

Besides, making money is such private information, you ask casually and I'm supposed to tell you?

Li Yang chuckled inwardly, then casually pulled out his phone and showed her his bank balance.

Lin Shiyu's eyes widened, and she stared intently until Li Yang quietly put his phone away. With a slight smile, he went to the living room to pour her a glass of water.

Seriously, how could he not let her know a little about his capabilities?

"Sister Lin, you've had a bit too much to drink today. If you have any thoughts, you can tell me tomorrow. I don't have many other abilities, but buying a small apartment is quite easy for me."

Li Yang looked at Lin Shiyu, who was radiating charm. After placing the water glass on the coffee table, he suddenly couldn't help but say this impulsively. Then, his gaze swept over her again, seeing her look back with drunken eyes.
