"Right, don't they often have this kind of person in TV dramas?"
"Although they are actually rich, they pretend to be just an ordinary person in search of true love."
Fang Yuqing spoke with such conviction that she almost convinced herself, her eyes lighting up with the thought.
If that were actually true, it would save her a great deal of effort.
After all, Zhang Yi had been pursuing her persistently. She felt that if she merely nodded her approval, Zhang Yi would immediately propose to her.
Lin Caining also persuaded, "Yuqing, let's go inside and find Zhang Yi!"
In reality, her eyes were set on the delicious spread of food.
This was a Michelin three-star restaurant—the tasting menu was something that an ordinary person would not have the chance to experience in their lifetime.
Fang Yuqing hesitated, but then shook her head and said, "That doesn't seem right. It might make me look like a gold digger."
"Let's just wait outside and pretend to bump into him by coincidence."
Fang Yuqing was no fool. She wouldn't lower her standards just for a meal.
Even if Zhang Yi was indeed wealthy, she needed to maintain the poise of a goddess.
Only in that way, once they got together, could she assert control over Zhang Yi and keep him on a short leash.
So the two of them hid not far from the restaurant, waiting for Zhang Yi to come out.
Zhang Yi had feasted for more than an hour, patting his full belly with content.
He planned to go to a nearby supermarket to buy some supplies next.
He was pretty certain he could transport the goods back from the Walmart warehouse, but it's always better to be careful.
It was necessary to stock up on supplies in advance to avoid any unforeseen circumstances.
Having experienced the pangs of hunger, Zhang Yi could not allow any mishaps.
He checked out from the restaurant with ease and left through the front door greeted by the staff's polite smiles.
Just then, a familiar voice sounded from beside him.
"Zhang Yi, what a coincidence!"
He turned to see none other than Fang Yuqing and Lin Caining.
Fang Yuqing casually gathered her hair behind her ear, purposefully exposing her fair neck and pink earlobes.
Zhang Yi silently scoffed. This tactic was a classic move of someone seeking to manipulate, designed to stir a man's heart unwittingly.
Fang Yuqing, a top-tier manipulator, was obviously well-versed in this art.
Unfortunately for her, Zhang Yi was no longer the gullible man he once was.
In the not-too-distant past, he had been fatally betrayed by this woman, she had even considered using his ribs for broth!
Remembering this, Zhang Yi's look suddenly turned cold, heavy with blatant murderous intent.
After all, the apocalypse was imminent, and even if he took her life, there'd be no consequences to face.
Fang Yuqing felt a chill run through her body under Zhang Yi's gaze and nervously said, "Zhang Yi... What's... what's wrong with you?"
Zhang Yi quickly controlled his expression and said indifferently, "Nothing, I mistook you for someone else."
He abruptly changed his mind.
If he let this woman die too easily, it would be letting her off too lightly.
Rather, he would allow her to taste the despair of doomsday before dealing with her in a more calculated and cruel manner.
With forethought against distraction, Zhang Yi had plenty of time to prepare, not to mention the memories from before his rebirth gave him a myriad of ways to ensure her agonizing end.
Thus, there was no need to deal with her just now.
What was most essential at the moment was to build the safest refuge possible, ensuring he could survive comfortably and securely in the face of the looming apocalypse.
