"But if I'm dismissed with no income, then the rent as well as the money for food and living..."
"You still have me!" he exclaimed. "I'll earn money to take care of you, so you don't have to worry about it much."
Ling Yiran stared dazedly at the man before her. "Even though I know he only does some odd jobs every day and can't make much money at all, the things he's saying now are giving me an unprecedented sense of security.
"My life is no longer lonely and helpless with no support. I can rely on Jin."
"Make the call." He brought the phone before her.
She pursed her lips and called the group leader in charge of the sanitary workers at the Sanitation Service Center.
She had thought that the group leader would deliberately make it difficult for her to apply for a long period of leave, but to her surprise, when she asked for one week's leave, the group leader hastened to agree. He had even said that if one week was not enough, she could ask for two. Furthermore, she would still be paid the minimum wage and her salary would not be affected.
An astonished expression was plastered on Ling Yiran's face. Even after ending the call, she was still unable to snap out of her trance.
"Why does it feel like the group leader is eager for me to apply for long leave? I don't know what's happening."
"Since you don't know, don't worry about it. Anyway, your long leave has been approved," Yi Jinli said while continuing to washing her foot.
His fingers gently rubbed her sole, heel, and toe, making her feel rather embarrassed.
"Now that I think about it, my foot has never been so meticulously fondled by a man. Even Xiao Ziqi has never done it before."
When his large hands cradled her foot, his long fingers gripped it firmly in his palms. Her face instantly flushed red and she felt as if all the blood in her was rushing to her head, her cheeks burning hot.
"All... all right, I can dry it myself!" she hurriedly exclaimed, trying to pull her foot out of his palms.
He turned to go into the bathroom and closed the door.
He raised his head and studied himself in the mirror. At that moment, his pair of beautiful and amorous eyes were filled with desire.
"When I was washing her foot just now, if she hadn't called out, I'm afraid I would have kissed her foot. I never knew that there could be a woman able to make me so impulsive."
"Yiran..." he mumbled and placed the palms that had been wrapped around her foot just now to his lips.
"Do I have... feelings for her? She seems to be different.
"If it's her... other than my emotions, I can give her everything."
