"Ah? Really? Is it true?"
Lin Ruoxi felt a surge of excitent, but the next mont, she realized she had been impulsive.
"Of course, it’s true!" Luofeng nodded.
"Dream on. The line of people wanting to chase , Little Lobster, could stretch from Shanghai to Hang City. As for you, you’re still far off, so just wait in line."
She imdiately changed her tone to cover up her embarrassnt. After all, asking so directly made her intentions too obvious.
"Is it that far?"
"So, does this count as close?"
After Luofeng spoke, one of his hands suddenly wrapped around her slim waist—soft and gentle—while the other pressed against the car door. A wall slam, his hand on her waist.
She had no room to retreat.
"Luo... Luofeng..."
At that mont, Lin Ruoxi’s heart raced uncontrollably; she didn’t know what to say, her mind a complete blank.
"Hahaha, what are you nervous about? I was just joking with you. I won’t tease you anymore."
Luofeng then laughed, imdiately retracting his hand from her waist. Her waist was indeed lovely—slim and soft.
A girl might genuinely want to be your girlfriend, but that doesn’t an she’ll agree just because you ask, he mused. They have their pride and need the right opportunity.
"You jerk!"
Lin Ruoxi’s anger flared in an instant. Her heart had been pounding furiously, and now this.
She took a couple of deep breaths. That was close; I nearly lost control. You jerk, couldn’t you have persisted a little longer? Am I really that lacking in charm? You were actually joking?
"Hey, Little Lobster, are you really mad?" Luofeng had heard her earlier. She seed to call herself Little Lobster, probably a nickna from a close friend, as she really liked eating crayfish.
"What do you think, Audi rich guy?" Lin Ruoxi rolled her eyes at him. "Also, stop calling Little Lobster, okay? That’s what my bestie calls ."
"Little Lobster, Little Lobster, Little Lobster."
"Let’s eat crayfish today."
"You’re treating. You promised, no welching."
"We’ll go to Fragrant Island Lobster to eat..."
Luofeng spoke in a childish tone, once again irritating her considerably.
"What? We’re going to that place?"
"Otherwise? The Fragrant Island Lobster here is the tastiest around, right?"
"Well... sure."
Lin Ruoxi truly hadn’t expected him to think the sa way and agree without hesitation. Moreover, he emphasized that she was treating.
But just then, Lin Ruoxi suddenly saw soone she really disliked.
"Ruoxi, you..."
It was a flamboyantly dressed girl whose beauty approached goddess-like levels.
"Xu Li?"
"This is your..."
"Ruoxi’s boyfriend, hello." Seeing the confrontational glint in the other woman’s eyes, Luofeng, no fool, imdiately claid the role.
And Lin Ruoxi, almost reflexively, hooked her arm through Luofeng’s.
She couldn’t help but feel a thrill. Luofeng is so understanding! Is it a Mind-reading Skill? In front of this woman, him admitting to being my boyfriend feels better than being given a million dollars.
This woman was a next-door neighbor from her hotown who had snagged a 40-year-old tycoon and shown off endlessly about it. Their families had also experienced friction over land issues. Although things seed amicable on the surface afterward, neither had ever been truly comfortable with the other.
I swore to myself that I would live a better life than her, Lin Ruoxi thought.
"Ah? Boyfriend, huh? That’s nice. Hello, sir." Xu Li glanced at the Audi R8 behind Luofeng, her competitive spirit clearly piqued. She turned and said, "Dear, this girl is Lin Ruoxi, my next-door neighbor from back ho."
"Miss Lin, hello. And you are, sir?" The man, nad Li Shibing, noted Luofeng’s refined air and wanted to get acquainted.
"Luofeng." Luofeng didn’t particularly try to be friendly.
"Dear, let’s go ho," Xu Li said, then glanced at Luofeng. "Ruoxi, your boyfriend is shopping here. Does he live in Lujiazui?"
Her husband owned property in Lujiazui, so she asked deliberately.
Suddenly, this desire of Lin Ruoxi’s surged to the top: *’1. Find a boyfriend who lives in Lujiazui...’*.
Luofeng rembered that when he first t her, this desire had been ranked sowhere in the teens.
I wondered back then, he recalled, why Lujiazui specifically? So, it’s because this woman’s husband lives here?
"Luxury Mansion Designated Exchange Card (Month Card), exchange it for a Tomson First Class apartnt right away!"
Luofeng still had last ti’s reward unopened in his backpack. The "designated" part ant he could choose any place he wanted. He had been considering places in Shanghai: Tomson First Class, ONE SINO PARK, or so exclusive residential garden. He had been undecided.
But today, he chose Tomson First Class without hesitation.
It was only a Month Card, true. But Luofeng wasn’t worried; he still had another card in his backpack.
"Yeah, in Lujiazui!" Luofeng nodded without a mont’s hesitation.
"Oh? Lujiazui? Really? We’re nearby too. We should keep in touch in the future." Xu Li was all smiles, but inwardly she cursed. Lin Ruoxi actually found such a wealthy boyfriend!
"Right, after we eat, I have to move. Want to co along later?" Luofeng said, looking at Lin Ruoxi.
"You’re moving?" Lin Ruoxi was taken aback.
"Yeah, I didn’t like my old place, so I decided to change." Luofeng pointed at a large building across the street. "Over there!"
"Tomson First Class?"
Considering its proximity, Xu Li was visibly startled.
"Yes, the apartnts there are relatively better. My purchase contract is still in the glove box!"
Luofeng had already received a prompt from the System. His purchase contract and everything else were sorted.
Lin Ruoxi then noticed a folder in the storage compartnt in front of the co-pilot’s seat. How had I missed it earlier?
"Which... which unit is it? Maybe we can drop by soti? Your girlfriend and I are from the sa hotown, after all."
Luofeng, of course, knew what Xu Li was implying. He feigned forgetfulness, slapping his forehead. "I’ve completely forgotten the unit number!"
He then picked up the purchase contract and three keys, flipped open the contract, and read, "It’s on the 12th floor..."
