Chapter 619: Chapter 5 Buying a Pack of Cigarettes Chapter 619: Chapter 5 Buying a Pack of Cigarettes Li Yan held Judy’s delicate arches in both hands, with his thumbs scraping along the metatarsal bones.

“Your body is in poor condition. Have you been taking the prescription I gave you on time?”

Judy caught her breath and, with her eyes half-closed, struggled to reply, “Yes, I have. Maybe it’s because I’ve been staying up late recently that I haven’t been feeling very well. The massage you gave me made me feel much better.”

“You need to exercise more in the future.”

Li Yan let go, patted Judy’s calf, and said, “The other foot.”

“You want to do it again?”

“Hurry up.”

Reluctantly, Judy extended her other foot and adjusted her neck to a more comfortable position before asking casually, “You mentioned in the car that you are now working at Zhongxing Baode.”

“That’s right.”

“I’ve heard of this auction company…”

Judy’s eyes gleamed, “I heard they’re organizing a charity auction in Kowloon Bay, Hong Kong, next month. The deposit alone is twenty million, scaring off quite a few people.”

“That’s the reason I came back to Hong Kong.”

Taking advantage of the moment, Judy withdrew her foot, sat up, and glared at Li Yan before suddenly pouncing on him.

Li Yan lay back with the flow. Judy, in her pajamas, straddled him and looked down fiercely, “When there’s trouble, you’re the heroine; when there’s none, you’re the welcoming spring. You left without a word for three years and now you come back asking me for money. Ah!”

Judy exclaimed in shock. Before she could finish her sentence, Li Yan had flipped her over.

“Where could I find as pretty a heroine as you? I indeed need your help, but not your money. All you need to do is spread the word that Huamao and the auction company have made contact. Keep away from the auction; there could be danger.”

Judy fell silent, simply breathing softly into Li Yan’s ear.
