Li Ze's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Furthermore, Yao Ziyu in the book is not just Ye Tian's main wife and a future superstar singer. She will be very useful to me later on..."

As for why he didn’t seek out Yao Ziyu, a character of significant importance, right from the start, the reason was simple: the timing wasn't right.

According to the book's description, in the next few days, Yao Ziyu's foster father’s illness would worsen, requiring a large amount of treatment expenses. This was when Yao Ziyu would be at her most vulnerable and helpless. Proposing conditions at this time would be the easiest way to reach her heart.

After signing the contract, Yao Ziyu glanced secretly at Li Ze.

Her mind suddenly flashed back to when he stepped in to help her when she was being harassed, and stood up for her during her most desperate and darkest moments, saying, “I can give you a chance to change your fate...”

And he truly made it happen.

At the peak of his charm, Li Ze, with his chiseled features, handsome face, and bright, confident, and sharp eyes, exuded an indescribable sense of reassurance.

····

Unintentionally, Li Ze's figure had already left a faint imprint in Yao Ziyu's heart, causing a slight ripple...

"Ah!"

At that moment, Yao Ziyu realized she had been staring at Li Ze in a daze. Coming back to her senses, she couldn't help but mock herself inwardly.

If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

What was she thinking? Li Ze was the eldest young master of the Li Group. Compared to her, he was like heaven and earth. If it weren’t for him accidentally meeting her and recognizing her potential, their fates would never have intersected.

Li Ze observed the somewhat unsettled Yao Ziyu in front of him. How could her slight emotional changes escape his eyes? Moreover, his system could detect her favorability level.

"Ding! Yao Ziyu's favorability towards the host has increased to 30%!"

"Ding! Yao Ziyu's favorability towards the host has increased to 50%!"

"..."

"Ding! Yao Ziyu's favorability towards the host has increased to 65%!"

In no time, Yao Ziyu's favorability had risen to 65%, and stayed there.

At this moment, Yao Ziyu's cherry-like lips parted slightly, and her hand clenched as if she wanted to say something.

Li Ze noticed Yao Ziyu's unusual behavior and instantly understood what she wanted to say.

"Don't worry, Miss Yao," Li Ze said. "Since the contract is signed, I will fulfill my promise. First, take care of your school matters and complete the withdrawal procedures. Tomorrow, I'll arrange to transfer your father to Li Group Hospital and provide him with the best treatment."

Yao Ziyu said somewhat hastily, "Thank you, Young Master Li."

"Calling me Young Master Li is a bit too formal," Li Ze replied with a faint smile. "We're both freshmen at Rising Sun University, so we're classmates. Just call me Li Ze."

This request made Yao Ziyu feel a bit uneasy, but under Li Ze's gaze, she still murmured softly, "Thank you, Li Ze."

Li Ze smiled gently. "Let's go. You should go back to school and handle the withdrawal procedures. I'll make the necessary arrangements."

He went outside and hailed a taxi for Yao Ziyu, sending her to the school. Then, he returned to the café and sat in his original seat.

Soon, the system notification sounded in his ear.

"Ding!"

"Host's villain points +1000! Protagonist's luck points -1000!"

"Friendly reminder: Host's current villain points: 2900, Protagonist's current luck points: 8900."
