The door to the villa opened, and Bai nghan walked in, dressed in sportswear.
Spotting Fang Chenyi on a lounge chair organizing a large woven bag, she called out to him as she headed for the study.
But as her eyes swept past him, she suddenly noticed a scantily clad woman sitting right next to him.
At the sight, Bai nghan froze for a mont before a generous smile spread across her face and she walked over.
"Heh, we have company, hubby."
Hearing Bai nghan’s words, Fang Chenyi finally rembered. He had been organizing the contents of his special woven bag and had taken out the doll without putting it away yet.
He never imagined Bai nghan would co back at this exact mont. ’Fuck, this is so damn awkward!’
’If Bai nghan realizes the ’woman’ next to is just a doll, what is she going to think of ?’
Bai nghan was already halfway to him; it was clearly too late to hide the doll.
’What do I do? What the hell do I do?!’
Just then, Bai nghan reached him. Seeing that there was no way out of this, Fang Chenyi gritted his teeth, ready to claim it was a prank gift from soone.
"Uh, Hanhan, she’s..."
RING RING RING~
Just then, Fang Chenyi’s new phone started ringing.
Hearing it, Fang Chenyi gave Bai nghan a helpless shrug and answered his phone.
A glance at the caller ID showed it was Wei Yilong.
Seeing the na, Fang Chenyi’s eyes lit up. ’Better you than ,’ he thought. ’Sorry, kid.’
He answered the call, and Wei Yilong’s worried voice imdiately ca through:
"Boss, you’re not dead! Man, you scared the hell out of . I just saw the news that your plane crashed into the ocean. Thank God! I always say, the good die young... uh, no, that’s not it. I an, you’re too lucky to die, Boss..."
Listening to Wei Yilong, several dark lines seed to crease Fang Chenyi’s forehead. ’So the good die young, and a scourge like lives for a thousand years, is that it?’
’You little bastard. I’m definitely screwing you over for that!’
While thinking this, he put on a self-righteous expression and said:
"Hey, Yilong. Yeah, I signed for your package. It’s right here next to . Man, I’ve got to say, you’ve really got money to burn. This thing even ca from Plaster Country? Oh, by the way, the box looked a little grimy, so I went ahead and tossed it for you."
Wei Yilong, who had just driven up to the entrance of the Century Garden District, was confused by what he heard Fang Chenyi saying.
"A package? I didn’t order anything, Boss. I haven’t bought anything recently."
But Fang Chenyi completely ignored him and continued, "Yeah, okay, I’ll put it in your garage for you in a bit. All right, that’s it. I’ve got stuff to deal with on my end, so I can’t talk right now."
He was about to hang up, but then he had another thought and added a word of advice:
"Hey, Yilong, let give you so big-brotherly advice. You’re not getting any younger. You should hurry up and find a girlfriend. All right, hanging up now."
Without waiting for the utterly bewildered Wei Yilong to respond, he hung up.
Then he turned back to Bai nghan, stood up with a brilliant smile, and gestured casually at the doll on the chair.
"That was Wei Yilong. He bought it. It’s fake, of course. Oh, did you forget to grab your files? You could’ve just called , and I would’ve brought them to you. No need to co all the way back yourself."
She glanced suspiciously at the doll. Seeing that it was indeed completely motionless, she took a closer look and finally noticed sothing was off. Although it was incredibly lifelike, there were subtle differences upon careful inspection.
"Wei Yilong bought this? Hehe, I get it now. That boy must be trying to woo Tantan. A Barbie doll this big... Tantan will definitely love it."
PFFT—
Bai nghan’s words nearly made Fang Chenyi face-plant. ’Good lord, a Barbie doll?’ he thought. ’Erm... and Wei Yilong wants to pursue Su Tantan?’
Seeing Fang Chenyi’s astonished look, Bai nghan giggled and explained:
"You didn’t know? The main reason Wei Yilong moved into Century Garden was to pursue Su Tantan."
"Uh, okay. The guy really has... ’taste’."
Fang Chenyi thought about the way Su Tantan always looked at him and inwardly curled his lip. ’It’s obvious she’s a pretty materialistic woman.’
’Of course, that’s none of my business. As long as I’m out of this ss, I’m good.’
After accompanying Bai nghan to the study to grab her files, the two of them left the villa together.
Just as they opened the door, a rcedes-Benz E-Class pulled up and stopped in front of Fang Chenyi’s house.
Wei Yilong, dressed sharply in a suit, quickly got out.
’Holy shit, why is he here now?! This is bad!’
Fang Chenyi’s face fell the mont he saw Wei Yilong get out of the car. ’I just said the doll was his package, and now he’s here! The second he opens his mouth, the cat’s out of the bag!’
"Boss, Sis, about that package..."
Sure enough, the mont Wei Yilong started to ask about the package, Fang Chenyi cut him off before he could finish.
"What package? It’s inside. And I have to say, you’ve got so nerve. Your boss nearly dies, and you don’t give a damn about , you’re worried about so stupid package? By the way, your sister-in-law here tells you want to go after Su Tantan. Is that true?"
Standing to the side, Bai nghan smiled and nodded at Wei Yilong.
"Heh, you’d better hurry. Our Tantan has a lot of admirers. All right, I’ll let you two talk. I’m heading back to the university."
Fang Chenyi told Bai nghan to drive safe, then watched her pink Lamborghini drive away.
Once the sports car was gone, Wei Yilong spoke up, a bit shyly.
"Hehe, Boss... do you think I have a chance with Tantan?"
Fang Chenyi glanced at Wei Yilong, then said in a deadpan voice:
"If you’re serious, then I’ll give you so advice. Take the company I gave you and build it into sothing big. When you’re a major director of a billion-dollar company, you’ll have absolutely no trouble winning over Su Tantan."
As an outsider, that was all Fang Chenyi could say. Whether Wei Yilong actually got together with Su Tantan was their business, and it was best for him to stay out of it.
Now that the guy was here, he decided not to go out after all. It was a good opportunity to ask about the company’s progress.
After all, the sooner it was operational, the sooner he could stop running around picking up junk.
He turned and walked back toward the villa, calling over his shoulder to Wei Yilong, who was still mulling over his advice.
"Co on, let’s go. Hurry up and get your package out of here."
