What a good thing, everyone is acting like wolves and tigers.

Qi Yuan first found it amusing, but the next second, he honestly leaned over to take a look. Then he saw a familiar face standing in the shallow water, helping a six or seven-year-old girl swim. The lower half of his body was submerged in the water, so it was hard to see clearly, but the upper half of his shirt was buttoned up neatly.

But what good was buttoning up? Once the shirt got wet, it clung tightly to his waist and abdomen, clearly revealing a few well-defined abs!

Qi Yuan suddenly felt a surge of anger. “Lin Can! Dressed like this, are you trying to seduce some rich lady again?”

The crowd, who had been squatting by the pool, practically sticking their eyes on Lin Can, all turned their heads at once. Qi Yuan casually glanced around and found not only women but also several men!

“Who is that?”
“Qi Yuan? Why is he here?”
“What did he say? Coach Lin is trying to seduce us?”
“That’s great! I’ll offer fifty thousand a month!”
“Get lost! Fifty thousand isn’t enough; I’ll offer a hundred!”
“How about you one month, and I’ll take the next?”
“That’s not a bad idea; let’s ask Coach Lin what he thinks later.”
“Why didn’t you say he was seducing? I’ve been dreaming about Coach Lin for the past few days.”
“Exactly, let’s skip the formalities; I hope Coach Lin isn’t too strict about gender.”

The more Qi Yuan listened, the darker his face became. He shouted at the person in the pool, “Get up already! Are you acting like a monkey in there, being stared at by everyone?”

Lin Can was first shocked, but upon hearing this, his expression turned helpless. “I’m still on the clock.”

Qi Yuan glared fiercely at Wang Qian beside him.

Wang Qian was confused. What was going on? Why was he reacting so strongly all of a sudden?

Gong Yusheng, who was in the know, patted his shoulder. “Let him come up first. Work or whatever, we can have Xie Jun arrange it later.”

Xie Jun? Isn’t that Qi Yuan’s secretary? Why is she getting involved with Lin Can?

Wang Qian was even more puzzled, but under Qi Yuan’s pressure, he still shouted to Lin Can, “You should come up first.”

After saying that, he didn’t forget to introduce to Gong Yusheng, “This is the new sales champion I just mentioned.”

Gong Yusheng was sweating bullets. If Qi Yuan had his eyes on this person as a sales champion, was this kid lucky or unlucky?

Lin Can got out of the pool holding the child, but when he tried to put her down, the little girl clung tightly to his neck, refusing to let go.

Lin Can sighed, but he was used to it. He asked her casually, “Did your mom ask you to do this again?”

The little girl nodded innocently, her expression pure like a little angel. “Mom said that the more you touch, the more you earn.”

Wang Qian chuckled and teased the girl, “Last time Ya Ya’s mom even made her write a reflection after touching. Your mom is pretty nice; she didn’t give you any homework.”

The little girl blinked a couple of times but didn’t say anything.

Seeing her snuggling against Lin Can, Qi Yuan couldn’t hold back any longer.

What a joke! He hadn’t even touched Lin Can, and these little kids were already all over him?! One after another, they just wouldn’t stop!

“Put her down!” he growled unhappily.

Lin Can instinctively looked at Wang Qian for guidance.

Wang Qian was still clueless, blinking without any reaction.

What was going on? Gong Yusheng was internally lamenting while telling the girl, “Teacher Lin has work to do; you should come down.”

The little girl hesitated, but seeing Qi Yuan radiating black energy, she instinctively got down.

She had been leaning against Lin Can, and now that she stepped away, there was no longer anything blocking the view in front of Lin Can.

His wet shirt clung tightly to his upper body, revealing his eight-pack abs, the contours clear, and his V-line smooth and sexy. But what color his skin was under the shirt made people’s imaginations run wild.

No wonder this group of people insisted on calling for him to take off his clothes.

Qi Yuan even felt like he heard someone gulping.

Veins popped on his forehead as he casually grabbed a towel and threw it at Lin Can. “Put this on!”

Lin Can was quite grateful to Qi Yuan. If it weren’t for him, he would have to endure for a while longer.

Seeing him wrap the towel around himself tightly, Qi Yuan’s grim face softened a bit. “Come with me.”

Before Lin Can could ask Wang Qian for permission, Gong Yusheng urged from the side, “Hurry up, hurry up! Wang Qian can’t even take care of himself; he can’t manage you.”

Wang Qian, still in the dark: ???

*

Qi Yuan temporarily took over Wang Qian’s office. Sitting in the office chair, his aura was even stronger than that of the real boss, Wang Qian.

He leaned back in the chair and asked Lin Can, “What are you doing here?”

Lin Can answered honestly, “Working.”

“Working?”

“I ran out of money, so I came out to work.”

Qi Yuan cursed under his breath, “What did I tell you back then? What do you mean by coming out to sell yourself?”

“I’m not selling myself,” Lin Can retorted, “I’m just working.”

Although he didn’t know what had happened, hearing someone slandering his cash cow, Wang Qian couldn’t help but defend Lin Can.

“Brother Yuan, you’ve misunderstood. Lin Can is indeed working seriously. I originally told him to wear just swimming trunks, but he was conservative and insisted on wearing a shirt.”

“Conservative?” Qi Yuan sneered, having gone through Lin Can’s background multiple times, “I see he’s quite the opposite!”

He even wore a white shirt that clung to his body, clearly playing the game of suggestiveness!

Lin Can wasn’t too happy. He was working seriously, so how did it turn into something ulterior in Qi Yuan’s mouth?

“If you want to blame someone, blame your past too much!” Qi Yuan didn’t hide his investigation into Lin Can.

Lin Can fell silent. The sins of the original owner truly made him suffer.

“I ask you,” Qi Yuan raised his chin, his posture arrogant, “Why didn’t you come to find me after the divorce?”

“There’s no need…”

“No need?” Qi Yuan found it amusing, “What, do you think ten million is too little?”

Lin Can turned his face away and didn’t speak.

Wang Qian, finally understanding, looked horrified. “What’s going on?! This is the person you, Brother Yuan, have your eyes on?!”

What did he do? Did he make the person Brother Yuan liked work in his store for a week?!

No wonder Gong Yusheng said he couldn’t even protect himself; was it too late for him to beg for mercy now?

Neither Qi Yuan nor Lin Can paid him any mind, only Gong Yusheng gave him a look of “good luck.”

Wang Qian wiped the cold sweat that was pouring from his forehead. “This, this situation is a mess. Lin Can, you really should have told me about such an important matter. If you had, I wouldn’t have let you suffer here!”

“Actually, it’s quite comfortable here.”

Lin Can didn’t take the opportunity to flatter him but instead said something honest.

“No matter how comfortable it is, it can’t compare to where Brother Yuan is…” Wang Qian forced a smile at Qi Yuan.

Lin Can was unhappy. Why was everyone pushing him towards Qi Yuan?

Was his personal will so unimportant?

Seeing Lin Can’s resistance, Qi Yuan paused his movements, his eyes narrowing slightly, the gaze darkening. “You don’t want to?”

Lin Can nodded slightly.

Gong Yusheng’s heart jumped to his throat, and he hurriedly came up to persuade Lin Can.

“Why don’t you want to? You’ve already divorced Ran Yang; there’s no issue of cheating!”

“It’s not about that…”

“Then what is it about? Qi Yuan is generous, and you’re the first he’s taken a liking to. Whatever you want, he can give you. If you hesitate even a little, it’s like you’re going against money!”

As Gong Yusheng spoke, he glanced at Qi Yuan for his reaction. Seeing that he didn’t refute “whatever you want,” he couldn’t help but feel a pang of anxiety.

“Whatever you want” was not something to be taken lightly; Qi Yuan clearly had a strong interest in Lin Can.

Yet Lin Can himself was completely unaware of this. “I don’t want money.”

“If you don’t want money, then why did you marry Ran Yang?” Qi Yuan couldn’t hide his sarcasm. “Alright, if ten million isn’t enough, then let’s make it fifty million. Serve me well, and you can have whatever you want.”

“I didn’t take any money from Ran Yang when I divorced,” Lin Can reiterated, then asked, “Didn’t you know?”

His question genuinely stumped both Qi Yuan and Gong Yusheng.

They thought Lin Can had left Ran Yang for Qi Yuan, looking down on Ran Yang’s little money.

But Lin Can slapped their faces, preferring to run out and work rather than contact Qi Yuan.

“Not selling myself,” Lin Can adamantly disagreed with that description. “Are all swimming coaches selling themselves?”

“And I teach kids; you’ve seen that.”

Qi Yuan: “So the ones squatting by the pool are blind?”

“They are the kids’ parents…”

“Pah!” Qi Yuan spat, not caring about his image. “Are all those distant relatives considered parents?! If you like being noticed so much, I’ll take you on a show!”

Gong Yusheng’s eyes lit up at the mention of a show.

Lin Can only felt that Qi Yuan was being unreasonably domineering. “You misunderstand me too deeply; I can’t explain it clearly. I need to get back to work.”

“Hey, hey, hey!”

At this point, Wang Qian dared not let Lin Can go back to work.

He had put Lin Can in the shallow water with the intention of stimulating those wealthy ladies with kids to come and spend money, bringing their families to get memberships.

But now that Qi Yuan was here, marking him, if he let him go out to attract customers, it would be like looking for death.

“Working is secondary; the most important thing is to clarify things with Brother Yuan.”

He didn’t care about Lin Can’s reaction, using the excuse of “I’ll go tell the customers” to slip away first.

Gong Yusheng wasn’t willing to be outdone either, and the two big guys rushed out, almost blocking the door.

Once they closed the door, Qi Yuan stood up from the chair and walked step by step to Lin Can, asking him what he really meant.

“Do you look down on me?”

“No.” Lin Can shook his head.

“Don’t want money, and it’s not that you look down on me,” Qi Yuan rubbed his chin, thinking for a long time. “You wouldn’t want to rekindle things with Ran Yang, would you?”

“Absolutely not!”

Lin Can got anxious. How could he say such things? That was the main character’s ex, someone who would eventually team up with the main character to dominate the entertainment industry!

However, in Qi Yuan’s eyes, his intense reaction clearly indicated that he was embarrassed after hitting a sore spot.

Damn it, could it be that Lin Can really had lingering feelings for his ex-husband?

Then what was Qi Yuan to him? Just a part of their play?
