Chapter 32 Li Wei's Child Plan
Chapter 32 Li Wei's Child Plan
Although he wore formal attire quite often as a certified public accountant before time travel, he hasn't worn it for almost 25 years since then.
So much so that, even though the collar wasn't tight, he still felt a little uncomfortable and moved his neck a bit.
This feeling of being "tense" seriously distracted him, so much so that he didn't realize Danielle was there until he reached Tessa's car.
"You're still following me?"
"I……"
Danielle opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but Levi didn't give her the chance.
He climbed straight into the Tessa's car and shouted.
"No eating! Let's go straight to the hotel!"
Danielle and Tessa were both taken aback.
Tessa was the first to react.
"Are you planning to stay a few more days?"
Her eyes were alluring, as if she were eagerly anticipating something.
Danielle blushed to the roots of her neck, opened her mouth, but ultimately said nothing.
He could only glare fiercely at Li Wei before storming off.
Li Wei immediately gripped the back of the passenger seat like he was lying in a trench, sticking his butt out rather unladylike as he looked back.
He only felt at ease and settled into his seat when the two taillights behind him turned into taillights.
"You seem a little afraid of Danielle."
Instead of driving, Tessa teased Levi.
Li Wei actually nodded.
"Of course, I'm so handsome, what if she takes a liking to me? I'm not interested in her at all. If she keeps pestering me like this, it'll be a real problem."
Tessa smiled, completely unconcerned.
"Are you interested in me?"
Li Wei nodded without hesitation.
"Of course I'm interested, but you've disappointed me a bit."
Tessa suddenly felt a little nervous.
"What? Am I too old?"
Li Wei looked completely astonished.
"Is it related to age?"
Tessa secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but then frowned slightly.
"Any age range are acceptable to you?"
Li Wei pinched his chin and began to think seriously.
"Well... it's not entirely unrelated to age. Take Antonio, for example. He's sixty-two this year, almost sixty-three. If I ask him to play, we can only play dominoes. After all, it's really impolite to take him to the battlefield."
Tessa blinked and understood.
It turns out they weren't talking about the same thing...
Tessa decided to give a hint.
"How about the Hotel Fina? It has a private beach and pool suites, the environment is nice. And the Argentinian food there is worth going to often. By the way, what kind of wine do you like? If it's not very common, I need to call ahead and have them prepare it."
"I went to the Canary Islands restaurant and asked Santiago about it. He said their ham croquettes were amazing."
A family restaurant without even private rooms?!
For a fleeting moment, Tessa felt that Levi was trying to make her "give up" in this way.
She stared at Li Wei expressionlessly until he sighed.
"Okay, I admit, I might look a little odd in a suit. But you can just look at my face, and I guarantee this guy is still handsome."
Okay, he didn't do it on purpose, he just has a different way of thinking than most people.
"Then sit tight."
Tessa decided to share her experience of eating at a family restaurant for the first time in her life with Levi.
With a tap of the accelerator, the burgundy Ferrari shot off like lightning.
Li Wei, who was still lying in the passenger seat, almost fell into Tessa's arms because of her drift and spin.
Yes, almost.
At the critical moment, Li Wei grabbed the handrail and used his arm strength to control his body, sitting steadily in the passenger seat and fastening his seatbelt.
"I really miss those days. Those guys in the armored units were so wild when they drove armored vehicles."
Tessa: "..."
She couldn't help but glance at herself in the rearview mirror, wondering if her charm had truly faded with age.
"Watch the road! If you can't do it, I'll drive."
"If that's what you're trying to say... then fine."
Tessa stopped his underhanded tactics and focused on driving.
Li Wei nodded in satisfaction, then casually asked a question.
"Can it be done before dawn?"
"If you mean before dawn, leaving only one voice among the Miami gangs, that is, yes, and it doesn't even need to be dawn. Three more hours at most will be enough."
Tessa rediscovered her confident and flamboyant self.
Li Wei was even more satisfied – this meant that his megaphone toy (unlimited battery life version) would be in his hands within three hours.
However, Li Wei felt that he should tell Tessa about some final things before he got the toy.
This is politeness.
"By the way, you can discuss it with Danielle and Antonio later and create a Miami that you both like."
Are you advising me to learn to share power?
Li Wei glanced at Tessa, and seeing that she was still looking straight ahead while driving, he smiled.
"That's something you need to consider yourself."
Do you remember the promise I made to you?
"Do whatever you want, and leave the rest to me."
"Keeping promises is second only to being polite."
What if I were to eliminate that little brat Danielle and that old man Antonio, and keep the "crown" for myself?
Tessa almost blurted out those words.
But in the end, she only replied with one word.
"it is good."
It wasn't because she was afraid, but because she didn't want Li Wei to hate her.
This decision surprised even Tessa himself.
Even though it was only their first formal meeting, she had placed this man on a "crown"?
When did it start?
Was it after our first phone call this morning?
Did he spend an entire afternoon secretly using all his connections and relationships to verify the "Gallard" he mentioned?
Or was it... our first formal meeting a few tens of minutes ago?
Love at first sight?
Lust at first sight?
It doesn't seem to be.
They should have been two strangers, but after she looked at his profile, she felt... they had met too late.
"Li Wei, are you a succubus from hell?"
Tessa, who hadn't expected the answer, asked this question.
Li Wei glanced at Tessa, and he felt that Tessa was asking him very seriously, so he answered very seriously as well.
"No, I'm a former Marine who's drowning in debt and has a brain tumor."
Tessa slammed on the brakes, staring at Levi in disbelief.
"You have a brain tumor?"
Li Wei, however, calmly countered with a question.
"Don't tell me you didn't check my background; that would make you look like an idiot. I'm not kidding, Miss Hamilton."
Miss Hamilton... just Miss Hamilton?
Tessa pursed her luscious lips and replied with a hint of disappointment.
"Time was too tight, I didn't check those 'public information'."
Li Wei blinked and smiled.
"Okay, it seems you and I are the same kind of people... We don't care about the 'past,' only about the 'present' and the 'future.'"
"Out of courtesy, I'll pay for our first meal, Tessa."
The same kind of people...
Tessa suddenly understood why she had that feeling of "meeting him too late".
But precisely because of this, she became even more concerned about Li Wei's brain tumor.
"Can it be cured? Without considering the cost."
Li Wei thought about it for a moment and felt that it didn't seem like an important question, so he replied casually.
"I don't care. The meaning of life is not in its length, but in its quality. If it's just about breathing, then it can only be called 'living.' Doing what you want to do is what 'living' means—I would rather choose the latter."
Tessa took a deep breath, stopped dwelling on the issue, and changed the subject.
"How much longer do you have to live?"
Li Wei roughly calculated the time the system had given him and sighed helplessly.
"I was planning to live for another month, but now some jerk has told me I have three more years to live. So, I have to find more ways to have fun... I feel like my happiness has been 'diluted'."
Misdiagnosis...
Tessa's thinking was relatively normal, so he came to a wrong conclusion.
However, this did not stop her from planning something.
Three years...
From getting pregnant to giving birth and letting him or her meet the father... the time frame is still a bit tight.
Try your best. If all else fails, take as many photos and videos as possible.
You can't let your child not know what their father looks like.
Thinking this, Tessa took out her phone and took a picture of Li Wei without waiting for his consent.
What are you doing?
Li Wei was somewhat puzzled.
"Let's make a memory of our first dinner together."
As he spoke, Tessa put away his phone and set off again.
