Now reading: Chapter 91: Expired and Will Not Wait from Gorgeous Female Tenants, a Drama novel by City of Innocence.

Because sothing ca up at Gu Xiangyi’s company, she couldn’t accompany her sister to the supermarket. Buying groceries, cooking, and taking care of Gu Xinyan fell on Xu Xiangbei again.

At the supermarket entrance, Xu Xiangbei ran into Liu Yong, who was on duty.

Seeing Xu Xiangbei, Liu Yong quickly jogged over, smiling, and lit a cigarette for him, looking very happy, "Mr. Xu, hello, nice to see you again."

Xu Xiangbei exhaled a smoke ring, his gaze fixed on the red armband on Liu Yong’s arm, "Wow, you’re so happy. Yesterday you looked worried. What’s the good news? Tell about it."

Liu Yong began narrating, "Thanks to you, this morning, President Tang was called to the police station. When he returned, he was very unhappy and dismissed Chen Dahai. Now, I’m the head of security for the Spring Villa District."

Xu Xiangbei shook his head in disbelief, "You’re also a witness to the incident with his son and Director Wang. Why didn’t they dismiss you as well, but promoted you instead? There’s sothing fishy here."

"There’s nothing fishy, it’s because the security at the Spring Villa was too chaotic. In the future, security will be directly managed by a security company under the municipal bureau. We no longer belong to the Spring Construction Group; we’re employees of the security company. Technically, I’m a civil servant."

Xu Xiangbei felt relieved and joked, "So, you’ve beco a civil servant. There’s potential in that. Do a good job and don’t let the Party and the people down."

"Mr. Xu, you’re joking again. I owe it all to you. If it weren’t for your connection with Director Jiang, it’d still be like the dark ages here."

"It has nothing to do with , and you don’t need to thank . You being the head of security here is entirely due to your honesty, hard work, and responsibility."

"Thank you, Mr. Xu, for the complint. They said I was promoted for my rit in catching a murderer, but we all know you were the one who caught them. I must treat you to a al."

Xu Xiangbei thought of sothing, patted Liu Yong on the shoulder, "No need for the al, but could you add a few more caras around my villa and, if possible, more staff? I’m worried about another break-in."

After Director Jiang’s reminder last night, Xu Xiangbei felt a bit more cautious. He’s not afraid of the hitn, but with the Gu sisters being vulnerable, and Gu Xinyan in poor health, they wouldn’t have a chance to escape if confronted, so he requested enhanced security asures from Liu Yong.

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Yong gave a thumbs up and bead, "We’re really thinking alike, your suggestion aligns exactly with mine. To save money, Spring Construction Group only installed a few caras, leaving many blind spots. I’ve already applied for a budget from the security company to increase investnt. At least twenty more surveillance caras and four more security patrols per shift will connect directly to the patrol center."

Xu Xiangbei chuckled, "We truly are on the sa page, my heroic friend. See you; I need to buy groceries now, or even heroes will starve if you keep holding back."

Liu Yong, not quite satisfied, wanted to chat more with Xu Xiangbei and called out to his back, "Let’s have a drink together when you have ti."

"Sure."

The sa enthusiastic saleswoman from yesterday helped Gu Xinyan with her shopping basket. Whatever groceries Gu Xinyan wanted, she’d say it, and the saleswoman would place it in the basket. Before long, they had filled the basket to the brim.

Seeing Xu Xiangbei arrive so late, Gu Xinyan couldn’t help but complain, "Where did you go? You know I can’t reach the shelves. If it wasn’t for this kind sister helping."

Xu Xiangbei took the basket from the saleswoman’s hands and smiled, "Thank you."

The sister replied with a smile, "You’re welco. Take good care of your girlfriend."

After hearing the saleswoman’s words, a blush appeared on Gu Xinyan’s face, and she quickly corrected, "I’m not his girlfriend."

Xu Xiangbei grinned mischievously, "You’re right, you’re not my girlfriend."

Hearing Xu Xiangbei say this, Gu Xinyan didn’t feel relieved. Instead, she felt a pang of discomfort, pouting and glaring at Xu Xiangbei with a hint of anger, ready to scold him.

Xu Xiangbei quickly added another line, making her laugh, "You’re my little wife, your sister is my big wife, right, Fairy Sister?"

Although Gu Xinyan pretended to be upset, in her heart, she was sweetly happy, "Shaless, who’s your little wife?"

"If you don’t want to be my little wife, that’s fine. I know you’re strong-minded. How about I promote you to a big wife and your sister to a little wife then?"

Even though Xu Xiangbei spoke softly, there were many people in the supermarket, and many passersby overheard their conversation, turning to look at them.

Seeing people casting strange glances her way, Gu Xinyan’s face turned even redder with embarrassnt and anger, "In public, don’t talk nonsense. If you do, I’ll throw groceries at you."

Having experienced her skill in throwing things, Xu Xiangbei had to compromise, "The kind sister worked hard to get your groceries; tossing them would be disrespectful. Won are troubleso; they say they’re not my girlfriend and aren’t happy, but say they’re big wives and aren’t happy either. What do you want to be for then?"

"I just want you to shut up and go to the checkout."

"Okay, I’m going; wait here for ."

After buying the groceries, Xu Xiangbei pushed the wheelchair, taking Gu Xinyan back to the villa.

Xu Xiangbei leered at Gu Xinyan, "I cooked yesterday, and I’m cooking today too. Fairy Sister, I’ve taken such good care of you. Shouldn’t you reward ? Does your promise about offering your affection still stand?"

Gu Xinyan glanced at Xu Xiangbei, knowing his cheekiness was in full swing, afraid her words might upset him, "Sorry, but I did promise yesterday, and the offer has expired. However, there can be a small reward."

Hearing Gu Xinyan say the offer expired, Xu Xiangbei looked disappointed, but when she ntioned a small reward, he perked up again, "What kind of reward? Tell , don’t brush off. Is it a kiss from you?"

"Who said a kiss? I ant that since you cooked yesterday, today I’ll cook, and you just need to help ."

Xu Xiangbei felt a bit deflated, doubtful, "Can you reach the stove from the wheelchair?"

Gu Xinyan smiled confidently, "This wheelchair can go up and down, so of course I can reach the stove. Alright, it’s settled. You take these greens and wash them, and I’ll prepare the rest."

Seeing Gu Xinyan busy around in the wheelchair, like a little busy swallow building a nest, Xu Xiangbei slightly regretted getting her such an advanced wheelchair, fearing he might lose any leverage to make her cook in the future.

With his plans cut off, Xu Xiangbei could only focus on assisting Gu Xinyan.

Soon enough, Gu Xinyan cooked a pot of mushroom and lotus seed chicken soup, a dish Sister Wu taught her many tis before she learned to make it right.
