In The Richest Man in Xihong City, Xia Zhu didn't care for money, but every moment Wang Duoyu used to win her over cost a fortune.
With money, you can create any romantic moment a woman desires. With money, you can buy her anything she dreams of. With money, you can even buy off her closest friends and family!!
"Money really is a great thing!!" Li Bin muttered to himself, glancing at Wen Ting, who was drenched in sweat and beaming as she fiddled with her art supplies. Smiling, he stepped forward, naturally grabbing a napkin to wipe the sweat from her forehead. "Little Ting, look how sweaty you are. It's so hot today, and you're soaked. Go take a shower upstairs."
"Huh?…" Wen Ting didn't resist Li Bin's intimate gesture this time, but hearing him suggest a shower made her blush instantly. She looked at him warily and said, "B-Brother-in-law… I… I want to look at these treasures a bit more. You're all sweaty too, so… why don't you shower first…"
Li Bin chuckled, patted her head, and nodded with a smile. "Alright, I'll go first. I'll call you when I'm done."
Wen Ting lived with Li Bin and his wife, Wen Lan, on the third floor, sharing the same bathroom. Her face was so red because she probably feared he'd suggest they shower together.
Li Bin would've loved that, but it was obviously a pipe dream for now.
Ding ding dong dong ding ding dong dong… At that moment, Li Bin's phone buzzed in his pocket. He pulled it out and checked the caller ID.
A China Unicom number—unfamiliar.
"Hello, who's this?" Li Bin answered politely.
"Hi, is this Mr. Li Bin? I'm from SF Express. Your package has arrived. Are you home?" a man's voice came through.
A delivery? Li Bin hadn't ordered anything recently… Wait! His heart skipped a beat—could it be the pinhole camera he'd bought?!
"Great, I'm home. Bring it over. How long will it take?" Li Bin replied, barely containing his excitement.
"I'm already at your door," the voice said, followed by a knock at the entrance.
"Brother-in-law, who's that?" Wen Ting asked warily, eyeing the door.
"Oh, just a delivery. Some household stuff I ordered," Li Bin said with a guilty smile, hurrying to the door to grab a small package from the courier.
"Brother-in-law, what'd you get?" Wen Ting peered over curiously at the package in his hand.
"Nothing much, just some daily necessities. I'm burning up—I'm gonna shower," Li Bin said, signing for the package, locking the door, and quickly heading upstairs with the parcel.
With the camera in hand, the show was about to begin! Racing to the third floor, Li Bin's heart pounded with excitement and nerves, his face flushed.
Maybe it was the thrill of doing something sneaky, but he felt both exhilarated and anxious.
Locking the bathroom door, Li Bin's trembling hands opened the package.
Inside was an elegant box containing a button-sized pinhole camera and a charger.
Just this tiny thing cost over 900 yuan.
Li Bin had thought it'd be complicated, but after glancing at the manual, he realized even an idiot could set it up.
Following the instructions, he carved a small crevice in the bathroom's ceiling corner and tucked the camera inside.
Then he downloaded an app, entered the Wi-Fi password, and linked the camera to his phone.
In just five or six minutes, Li Bin had it all set up.
From the phone's feed, the angle was perfect—the person showering would likely face away from the camera.
Camera in place, Li Bin took a quick, refreshing shower.
It was summer, so he didn't bother blow-drying his hair. Still dripping wet, he threw on shorts and a T-shirt, then called downstairs to Wen Ting, "Little Ting, go take a shower. I'm done."
"Oh… I… got it…" Wen Ting still seemed wary, hesitating at the staircase as she glanced at Li Bin.
After all, it was just the two of them alone in the house.
The idea of showering made her nervous.
"Go on, I'm heading to my room to write. Call me if you need anything," Li Bin said casually, touching his damp hair and heading upstairs. He walked into his study, shutting the door with a bang.
Wen Ting watched the study door close, letting out a long sigh of relief. Patting her heaving chest, she hurried upstairs, grabbed some clean clothes from her room, double-checked that Li Bin hadn't come out, and then slipped into the bathroom, locking the door behind her.
