Ning Xi’s voice was light and cheerful, carrying a hint of laughter as she said, “No need, I have bank notifications.”
When she opened her bank account, she had already activated the bank notification service.
Every deposit or withdrawal would trigger a text message alert.
Bo Wang slowly withdrew his hand, silently memorizing the license plate number of the ride-hailing car.
Qin Chao, seeing Bo Wang return alone to his car, teased, “There’s actually a woman who’s unmoved by Bo Wang’s charm? Bo Wang, you’re slipping!”
“Help me find the contact information for the driver of that license plate we just saw.”
Qin Chao gave Bo Wang a puzzled look and asked, “If you’re worried about her, why didn’t you let her ride with us? Where is she going? We could’ve given her a lift!”
“No!” Bo Wang quickly refused. “I’m really afraid of that little troublemaker.”
“Troublemaker?” Qin Chao asked.
Bo Wang settled into the passenger seat, adjusting the angle of the chair comfortably, and complained, “I’ve never met a woman so obsessed with money.”
Qin Chao clicked his tongue a few times, joking, “That girl is truly clear-headed. She knows that with Bo Wang, it’s easier to ask for money than affection.”
Bo Wang asked, “Where’s your phone?”
Qin Chao tossed his phone to Bo Wang.
Bo Wang called his assistant and said, “It’s me, Bo Wang. I lost my phone. I’ll be at the Bo residence in half an hour.”
Qin Chao glanced in the rearview mirror and let out a surprised “Huh.”
The ride-hailing car from earlier seemed to be following them.
In the ride-hailing car, Ning Xi was calling her Master.
As expected.
Her Master’s phone was still unreachable.
“Driver, how much longer until we arrive?”
The ride-hailing driver glanced at the map and estimated, “Half an hour.”
Ning Xi ordered a takeout of crayfish during the ride.
Half an hour later, the ride-hailing car arrived at the designated location.
After paying the fare, Ning Xi got out of the car.
She stood before the wrought-iron decorative gate, entered the passcode, and the gate swung open.
Ning Xi walked to the front of the villa and entered the passcode for the villa’s main door.
As soon as the villa door opened,
a long gift box tied with a pink ribbon was placed in the entryway, with a heart-shaped sticky note attached to it.
“For Xiao Xi’s 18th birthday gift.”
Ning Xi carried the gift box to the living room sofa and sat down.
She gently untied the ribbon on the gift box and opened it to find a long sword and a black card with unlimited spending privileges.
“Ding-dong…”
The villa doorbell rang.
Ning Xi thought it was the crayfish she had ordered.
“Is this your takeout?”
Ning Xi nodded.
“Happy birthday to you.”
“Happy birthday to you.”
“Happy birthday to you.”
“Happy birthday to Xiao Xi.”
The delivery person, holding a birthday cake and entrusted by the customer, stood at the villa’s entrance and sang a belated “Happy Birthday” song for Ning Xi.
“Thank you.”
Ning Xi took the birthday cake and happily returned to the villa. Just as she turned around, a Ferrari sports car sped past the villa gate.
Bo Wang, sitting in the sports car, instinctively straightened up but only caught a glimpse of a white figure flashing by.
“What’s wrong?” Qin Chao asked.
Bo Wang said, “I think I just saw Ning Xi by the roadside.”
Qin Chao laughed heartily, pointing at Bo Wang with gleeful schadenfreude, "A day apart feels like three years, and you're already hallucinating after less than half an hour? Bo, you're done for!"
Bo Wang sneered, "Qin Chao, you're out of your damn mind!"
Even if all the women in the world were gone!
He would never fall for Ning Xi!
