I am not just a tycoon

....

At the same time, Lih Xiao suddenly noticed that the dark shadow behind her had disappeared into the night, while the brightly lit entrance of the residential complex was ahead, and Lih Meng had already hurried over with two security guards.

"Sis, sis, are you okay?"

Lih Meng ran over, anxiously grabbing Lih Xiao's hands and looking around: "Are you alright? Where is that person?"

Lih Xiao, who had been extremely tense just moments before, suddenly relaxed, feeling as if her strength had been drained, and she gently shook her head: "He probably left when he saw you guys coming."

"Miss Lih, do you need us to call the police?" asked the security guard.

"Calling the police won't help, he didn't do anything. Besides, I have no evidence that he was following me, for all I know, he might live around here."

"Alright. But this road is less travelled, and there are no shops around, it's better if you take the main road next time." the security kindly advised.

In such situations, the security guards must respect the resident's wishes, all they can do is remind the residents and inform everyone in the resident group chat about the incident so that they avoid this road at night.

Lih Meng took Lih Xiao's hand: "Let's go home, sis."

Lih Xiao nodded slightly, letting Lih Meng lead her away. While in the elevator, Lih Meng expressed her concern: "Sis, I was really worried just now, I'm glad you're okay."

"Maybe I was too nervous. I'm sorry, Mengmeng."

"Hmm... Should we tell mom and dad about this?" Lih Meng asked.

Lih Xiao shook her head: "Let's not tell them, it would just worry them, and they might even persuade us to move back home and possibly come to Star City to check on us."

Lih Meng nodded. The two sisters had been in Star City for several years and had developed a habit of sharing only good news and not bad news.

"Sis, you should start driving to and from work."

Lih Meng felt that if her sister had driven today, this would not have happened.

Lih Xiao shook her head: "No, I decided to cut all ties with him. I've already found a new place, and we're moving out next week."

Lih Meng responded with a reluctant smile, though the apartment was bought by Shen Yuan for her sister, she had given many suggestions about the furnishings, and had also put a lot of effort into decorating her own bedroom.

She truly didn't want to move out.

Stupid big pig's trotter, my sister is moving out, when will you finally win her back?

If my sister really cuts off all ties with Shen Yuan, how will I ever meet you again?

Stupid big pig's trotter, you have no initiative at all!

....

When the sisters reached home, Shen Yuan had just finished paying and was leisurely entering the residential complex, humming a tune.

It is well known, the moment when a woman feels most insecure is the best time to make a move.

And now, the moment had arrived.

Arriving at building 6, he followed an older lady into the elevator. Seeing the lady press the button for the 9th floor, Shen Yuan made no move.

The lady's hand still hovered in front of the panel, she looked back and asked: "Young man, which floor do you need?"

"15th floor," Shen Yuan said.

"Do you need me to press it for you?" the lady asked.

"No need."

"?"

The lady thought it odd that he said he was going to the 15th floor but didn't press the elevator button. This young man also looked unfamiliar, as if she had never seen him in the complex before.

With many young people behaving oddly these days, the lady didn't ask further. Once the elevator reached the 9th floor, she took a step out only to find the young man following behind.

She felt a sudden chill, thinking could this young man be targeting her?

Just then, the property manager had reminded in the residential group chat, warning them to avoid the west gate road where a "stalking pervert" had been suspected.

Could it be this young man?

The lady thought although she was nearly 50, she was still considered quite attractive in her community square dance group, and it wasn't an exaggeration to say she carried a lingering charm.

With young people's tastes becoming ever more peculiar, who knows if he might prefer matured women like her?

As she reached her front door, the lady couldn't help but turn back and say: "Young man, I know you young people lack patience nowadays, but you shouldn't take the wrong path. I'd willingly give you my WeChat if you ask openly, so why follow me?"

Shen Yuan: "?"

The auntie sized up Shen Yuan and noticed his decent physique and handsome face, then continued, "Let's add each other on WeChat. But remember, don't do such things again."

"You have a mental problem, auntie!"

Shen Yuan left these words and headed straight up the stairs, thinking today must be bad luck. The aunty is almost 50, and she thought I was interested in her?

What kind of people are these?!

The auntie was initially stunned, then she covered her mouth and chuckled, "The young man is shy after all, why so thin-skinned."

....

"Thud thud thud."

The door was knocked. Lih Meng walked over to open it and saw a breathless Shen Yuan at the door, hands on his hips saying, "You got here pretty quickly, huh? Just a few minutes?"

"Where's your sister? Is she alright? Was that person caught?"

Shen Yuan rapidly asked three questions, gasping for air as he pushed past Lih Meng and walked inside.

"Mengmeng, who's there?"

At that moment, Lih Xiao, who was preparing to take a shower, also came out of her room and came face to face with a somewhat disheveled Shen Yuan, even some sweat beading on his forehead.

Shen Yuan sighed with enormous relief, "Teacher Lih, seeing that you are okay is such a relief."

"You, why are you here?"

Lih Xiao initially didn't want to say a word to Shen Yuan, but seeing his disheveled state and that he had run all this way for her, she softened instantly.

"Lih Meng notified me first thing, I was nearby, so I just ran over."

Shen Yuan took out two tissues to wipe the sweat from his forehead, continuously muttering, "It's good that you're fine, it's good that you're fine."

"Did you run here?" Lih Meng asked doubtfully.

"It's just 2 kilometers, but driving here would take at least 20 minutes, so I simply ran."

Shen Yuan looked earnestly at Lih Xiao, "Teacher Lih, rest assured, my cousin happens to be the captain of the public security team in this district. I'll ask him to thoroughly investigate that road. Of course, I can't guarantee that we'll find that person."

Lih Xiao shook her head, "No need to go through the trouble."

"It's necessary."

After saying this, Shen Yuan sat down on the sofa, continuing to wipe sweat with a tissue, and fanned himself pretending to feel very hot.

"..."

Lih Xiao didn't know what to say anymore, she pulled Lih Meng aside and spoke softly, "Can you ask if he's eaten?"

"Sister, are you going soft?"

Lih Xiao scratched her head, "I'm not going soft... Oh, I don't know how to explain, just help me ask him."

"What if he says he hasn't eaten?" Lih Meng asked.

"Then order him some takeout... no, I'll just cook him a couple of dishes."

Lih Xiao thought for a moment, "There's meat, chicken, tomatoes, and eggs in the fridge."

"Alright, I'll go ask him, you wait in your room for the news."

Lih Meng walked to the sofa, saw Shen Yuan still "fanning" himself, and kicked his foot, "Old actor, eaten or not?"

"What old actor? What do you mean? You mention eating, how could I be in the mood to eat after hearing about such things?"

Shen Yuan flatly denied all three questions.

Lih Meng couldn't help but roll her eyes, "Alright, my sister went back to her room, stop acting in front of me already. With such good acting skills, why aren't you in movies?"

Shen Yuan looked back and indeed, Teacher Lih was no longer in the hallway. He then pulled Lih Meng into his arms, "So, Lih Meng, you no longer respect me? Not calling me brother-in-law now?"

Lih Meng pounded on Shen Yuan's chest a couple of times, "Pfft, what brother-in-law! My sister doesn't acknowledge you as her boyfriend now, you stopped driving your car, even said you'd move out of the house."

"You see, sister is just being needlessly hard on herself. She doesn't drive the Porsche I bought for her, prefers taking the bus instead."

Lih Meng snorted, "Now you realize, a moment of infidelity gives a lifetime of cremation at the wife-seeking funeral."

Shen Yuan twisted his mouth, thinking that wasn't infidelity, it was just diversifying, moving forward on all tracks.

At that moment, Lih Meng suddenly felt something amiss, "Hey, hey, hey, don't touch around, my sister might come out any moment."
