When Ning Qian got ho, her roommates looked at her with so surprise.
"You’re back?"
"We thought you wouldn’t be coming back tonight after your date," one of her colleagues said.
"If I didn’t co back, where would I go?"
Ning Qian smiled and replied, "We just went out for dinner tonight."
"We saw your post."
Her colleagues gathered around, their faces full of envy. "Did Mr. Xu really take you to Shangfang for seafood?"
"Of course he did."
Ning Qian couldn’t help but laugh. "You don’t think I Photoshopped it myself just for fun, do you?"
"No, it’s just that Wang Shengi was saying in the group chat that your picture was fake."
A colleague explained, "She just went there recently and said you can’t see the night view from that angle in the main dining area."
"She was probably sitting in the main hall."
Ning Qian feigned a casual tone. "We were in a VIP private room today. The room fee alone was 2,000 yuan, so of course the view is different from outside."
"Oh, so that’s how it was." Hearing this, her colleagues were overco with envy.
Another one asked, "So that giant crab in your post, how many pounds was that king crab? It looked huge."
"One was twenty-two pounds, the other eleven."
"Wow, that must have been so expensive."
Ning Qian smiled and replied, "It was alright. I think one was over 30,000, and the other was over 8,000."
"..." The room went silent.
Soone asked in astonishnt, "So the two of you spent tens of thousands on one al tonight?"
"Mhm, over 50,000."
"..." Again, silence.
Rembering what Xu Yun had said earlier, Ning Qian smiled. "When I have ti, I’ll take you all there for a al too."
"Really?"
"It’s so expensive there," they said in surprise. "It’s one thing if soone else is treating, but it’s too extravagant for us to go on our own."
"It’s fine, I have money."
Ning Qian showed off happily, "Xu Yun gave a mber card with a 200,000 yuan credit line. He said I should take you all to try the seafood hotpot there soti. It’s really good."
"Oh my god, he’s too good to you! He even gave you a mber card with 200,000 on it."
Her colleagues were beyond envious.
"Yay, we can go too! Finally, we don’t have to put up with that woman Wang Shengi’s attitude all day."
They hugged Ning Qian, exclaiming happily, "Xiaoqian, you’re the best! We love you to death!"
...
After watching Ning Qian enter her apartnt complex, Xu Yun prepared to head back.
Halfway there, he got a call from Li Jinshu.
"Hey, where are you?"
"Just finished dinner, on my way ho."
Xu Yun teased, "What’s up? Calling at this hour, aren’t you afraid your dear best friend will find out?"
"She’s not ho today, she went back to her parents’ place."
Li Jinshu chuckled. "I’m all alone at ho tonight. She probably won’t be back."
"All alone? What do you an?"
Xu Yun asked with a smile, "You miss ?"
"Of course not."
Li Jinshu said coquettishly, "The water heater at ho is broken. For so reason, there’s no hot water, and I can’t get a repairman at this hour. Do you want to co over and take a look?"
"Alright."
After a mont’s hesitation, Xu Yun agreed. "Good timing. I have sothing to give you anyway."
Li Jinshu was puzzled. "What is it?"
"You’ll see when I get there."
Xu Yun hung up, made a U-turn, and headed directly for Jinyuan.
Soon, he arrived at the entrance to the complex.
Although his license plate wasn’t registered, the security guard saw his luxury car and didn’t give him much trouble. He asked a perfunctory question, then imdiately raised the gate and let Xu Yun in.
As expected of a high-end residential community. As soon as Xu Yun entered the garage, he noticed there wasn’t a single cheap car parked there. The least expensive was over 300,000 yuan.
Not only that, but the parking spaces were much wider than those in an average complex, so you wouldn’t have a situation where you couldn’t open your car door after parking next to soone.
The floor was so clean it was reflective.
All of this intensified Xu Yun’s desire to buy a new house.
But he only had five million yuan. It was enough for everyday expenses, but when it ca to buying a house, he couldn’t afford one that was too nice or too large.
He knew, for instance, that the large single-floor apartnt Su Mu and the others lived in, with two units per elevator lobby, cost over 30,000 yuan per square ter. Each unit was over 230 square ters—nearly 2,500 square feet—which ant they cost upwards of six or seven million yuan.
Fortunately, not all the units here were sold yet. Xu Yun casually pulled into a temporary parking spot and took the elevator upstairs.
Su Mu’s apartnt was on the 19th floor, Unit 2.
It was Xu Yun’s first ti here. He knocked on the door.
Hearing the knock, Li Jinshu, who was on the sofa, walked over barefoot. She peeked through the peephole and, confirming it was Xu Yun, confidently opened the door.
She smiled. "How did you get here so fast?"
"I was afraid you’d die of heat stroke without any water for a shower."
Xu Yun produced a new, unopened phone box from behind his back and handed it to her. "This is for you. It’s a top-of-the-line model, in cyan. I thought the color would suit you."
"Why are you giving a phone for no reason?"
"I was buying a phone, so I bought one for you too. Think of them as a matching set."
Xu Yun grinned. "Mine’s black."
"Who wants a matching set with you?"
Li Jinshu protested verbally but still accepted the phone. She smiled and asked, "What if Su Mu finds out?"
"If you don’t say anything, who’s going to know they’re a matching set?"
Noticing she was barefoot, Xu Yun bent down and swept her up in a princess carry, striding into the apartnt.
"What are you doing?"
Li Jinshu was instantly flushed with a mix of sha and anger. "That’s not why I asked you to co over! The water heater really is broken."
’What are you thinking? I’m a respectable man.’
Holding her, Xu Yun said with a laugh, "I was just going to tell you not to run around barefoot on the floor. You’ll make your feet rough."
"What’s it to you?"
"Of course it’s my business."
Xu Yun said, "They’ll feel rough when I play with them later."
"???"
A second later, Li Jinshu seed to realize what he ant. Her face flushed red, and she spat, "You big pervert!"
"If I weren’t a pervert, would you have slept with yesterday?"
After setting Li Jinshu down, Xu Yun noticed sothing and gave her a aningful look.
’And you say you’re not trying to seduce !’
She was wearing a sexy, white silk lingerie set consisting of a camisole that bared her midriff and an ultra-short skirt. The semi-sheer material offered tantalizing glimpses of her perfect figure.
Most importantly, it looked like she wasn’t wearing anything underneath.
Top or bottom.
Honestly, what woman would dress like this in front of a man under normal circumstances?
’What a beautiful, scheming woman. I love it, I love it.’
Standing in front of the sofa, Li Jinshu suddenly felt Xu Yun’s predatory gaze on her and assud his lust had been stirred.
She took a few steps back and said with a wary smile, "Why are you looking at like that? I’m warning you, don’t try anything funny, or I’ll scream."
’Go on, keep up the act.’
"I’m waiting for you to show the water heater," Xu Yun said, not in any rush, feigning a calm smile. "Hurry up. I have to go back after I fix it."
"..." Li Jinshu was speechless.
On this point, he had actually misunderstood Li Jinshu.
He didn’t know that she had a habit of always dressing this way at ho.
On top of that, since she and Xu Yun had already been intimate the day before, she had subconsciously let her guard down around him.
That was why this situation had occurred; she simply hadn’t realized.
Li Jinshu led Xu Yun to where the water heater was mounted in the kitchen. "Look," she said. "When I turn on the hot water in the kitchen, the heater just keeps making this noise and won’t ignite. Then the display shows EOE.
Do you think it’s broken? Will we need to buy a new one?"
’So the water heater really is broken.’
Xu Yun turned his head. "Don’t worry. Get a stool. I’ll take a look and see what’s going on."
"Okay."
