“President Fu, you’re still awake?” Qin Deng rubbed his short hair, which was tousled from sleep, his eyes bloodshot and wide as copper drums. He sat bolt upright in bed, ready for duty. “Is there something going on at the company?”
“Do you need me to come over?”
Fu Shi tapped the ash from the cigarette between his fingers, his voice slightly hoarse. “No need.”
“I just want to ask you one thing. Who rented the apartment next to mine to Nan Yin?”
Nan Yin?
That incredibly beautiful woman?
Qin Deng knew right away that this matter was a bit tricky. He immediately replied nervously, “President Fu, it was me.”
“I followed your instructions and only rented out that vacant apartment within our circle.”
“The income was also donated to the welfare home as you requested. But before signing the contract, the person I dealt with was Young Master Chen from our circle.”
“You probably know him too—Chen Xiuyuan, who works in the entertainment industry.”
And then… no one knew that Nan Yin would be the one to sign the contract in the end.
At the time, he had no idea that Nan Yin was the one involved in the incident?
He thought Nan Yin might be Chen Xiuyuan’s girlfriend or something?
“On the day of signing the contract, Young Master Chen didn’t come. It was Miss Nan who signed it. I thought she was Young Master Chen’s girlfriend,” Qin Deng stammered in explanation.
He was terrified that the man on the other end of the line would get angry or upset.
“President Fu, if you don’t like the idea of renting it to Miss Nan, I can come over tomorrow morning and cancel the lease with her.”
Fu Shi understood. Now that the contract was already signed, it wouldn’t be proper for him to go and evict the young woman. He could only let it go. “Forget it.”
“Let her stay.”
“Hanging up.”
After saying this, Fu Shi hung up first. Qin Deng, still sitting bolt upright in bed, stared at the darkened phone screen and let out a huge sigh of relief.
Damn, getting a call from the boss in the middle of the night is really terrifying.
He felt like half his life had been drained away.
But why was President Fu still awake at 3 AM? And why was he specifically asking about Miss Nan?
What was he doing?
Could he really have been thinking about Miss Nan’s rental situation until the middle of the night?
Wow, that would be too much!
No, no, no, that’s impossible.
Even though they’re old classmates, today he saw how cold President Fu was toward Miss Nan’s advances?
It didn’t seem like he had any interest in her, right?
Qin Deng quickly dismissed the wild thoughts from his mind and lay back down to sleep.
While Qin Deng fell back asleep like a log, the night felt long and restless in the bustling apartment complex.
After hanging up the phone, Fu Shi returned to the bedroom. As he lay in bed and closed his eyes, he could almost feel the soft, seductive woman sitting on top of him.
She leaned down to lick his Adam’s apple.
Tore at his belt… Fu Shi felt like he was going crazy.
Knowing full well how she loved to play with men, how could he be so weak?
She had just returned and teased him a little, and he was already burning with desire? How foolish. Fu Shi clenched his palm hard, his expression dark and brooding, forcing himself to fall asleep.
The next day, bright light streamed through the window. Nan Yin wasn’t one to be bothered by unfamiliar beds, and she slept comfortably on the soft pillow.
She had always been carefree by nature, and being rejected by Fu Shi didn’t shake her confidence.
So, after returning to the apartment last night, she took a shower, played some games, and went to bed early.
She woke up at dawn, remembering that she needed to go to the 4S dealership to buy a car today.
Nan Yin didn’t linger in bed. She quickly got up, walked barefoot to the bathroom for a hot shower, wrapped herself in a towel after bathing, and began her morning routine.
Wen Ling, the little cutie, couldn’t wait for her at the studio, so she bought breakfast and came to the Oriental Gate to find her.
She pressed the doorbell.
Nan Yin came to open the door, rubbing her wet hair with a towel. “Why are you here?”
Wen Ling waved the breakfast bag in her hand, appearing adorably before her. “Nan Jie, didn’t you say you wanted me to get up early and go car shopping with you?”
“I waited for you at the studio for an hour, but you didn’t show up. I figured you must have overslept.”
So, she came over.
And brought her breakfast along the way.
“Sorry, I overslept.” Nan Yin ruffled her hair and quickly pinched Wen Ling’s cute little cheek. “Come in first, I’ll be ready soon.”
Wen Ling nodded and went to wait on the sofa.
While waiting, she observed the layout of the suite. All she could say was that her Nan Jie was rich and could afford to be extravagant.
This spacious flat was too luxurious.
The rent must not be cheap, right?
“Nan Jie, your rented place still looks so upscale.” Wen Ling withdrew her gaze and quickly got to the gossip. “So? Did you manage to catch him?”
Nan Yin changed into a slip dress and said, “He’s hard to chase.”
“Of course this place is upscale—it’s in the most expensive area of Suzhou.”
All she could say was that she had invested heavily to pursue Fu Shi.
“Have you had breakfast?” Nan Yin opened the breakfast bag, took out a cup of hot soy milk, and took a sip.
Wen Ling stretched and said, “I’ve already eaten.”
“Nan Jie, what’s that Fu Shi like? Is he really that hard to chase? Even you can’t succeed?”
She hadn’t gone with her to Fu Shi’s company yesterday, so she hadn’t seen him.
She didn’t know what he looked like.
Was he handsome?
Tall? What was his temper like?
Nan Yin bit the straw and smiled lightly. “You want to know?”
Wen Ling definitely wanted to know. With a heart itching for gossip, she immediately blinked her bright, sparkling eyes at Nan Yin. “I do.”
“Nan Jie, do you have a photo of him?”
Nan Yin shook her head. “I didn’t take any. If I did, it would only be a group photo from high school.”
“But a group photo doesn’t capture the charm he has now.”
Although he was already strikingly handsome back in high school, standing out like a crane among chickens.
But he was only 18 then, too young and green.
Not like now—rugged, wild, and exuding so much testosterone it could steal your soul.
“How about I take you to see him in person another day?” As Nan Yin was speaking, the sound of a door opening came from outside. Nan Yin paused for a moment, quickly put down the soy milk cup, grabbed Wen Ling’s hand, and went to open the door. “What a coincidence, he hasn’t left for the company yet.”
“Let me show you.”
Huh? Now?
Oh my god, why am I feeling a bit nervous? Wen Ling was dragged by Nan Yin as they hurried to the door. When the security door opened, sure enough, a tall and handsome man was slowly walking over from across the hallway.
Wen Ling only took one look and nearly fainted from how handsome he was.
Oh my god, he’s a total catch!
No wonder her Nan Jie had been in the capital for so long and never took a liking to any of the men there. So this was the real deal—an absolute top-tier hottie~
Oh my, he’s too handsome, too full of testosterone.
And he didn’t look like those refined princelings from the capital. Instead, he had a wild, domineering aura.
Wow, so handsome.
Wen Ling was also mesmerized, staring dumbfounded at Fu Shi, unable to look away. Nan Yin glanced at her, smiled with her red lips, and instantly stepped in front of her, not allowing her to look too much at her ‘man’!
Fu Shi was hers!
“Fu Shi, good morning.” Nan Yin greeted Fu Shi.
Fu Shi glanced at her, suppressing the heart-pounding sensation she stirred in him. With a cold look, he said nothing and walked straight to the elevator, heading downstairs.
Seeing this, Nan Yin wasn’t particularly annoyed. She turned back to look at Wen Ling, who had snapped out of her daze and was practically seeing hearts in her eyes. “What do you think? Handsome, right?”
Wen Ling wiped her drool. “Handsome, damn handsome.”
Nan Yin smiled, her pink tongue lightly licking her red lips. “My man.”
“He has to be the best, but his temper is cold, so he’s hard to chase.”
“Let’s go, pick a car at the 4S store.” Nan Yin turned and went inside to grab her bag, with Wen Ling quickly following her.
The 4S store wasn’t far.
Nan Yin liked big cars, not small ones. She casually chose a white Land Rover and paid for it in full.
After picking up the car, Wen Ling sat in the front to drive. Nan Yin handed her the poster Ruan Yu had torn off yesterday and said, “Help me apply for the promotion partner position for this aircraft product design.”
Wen Ling glanced at the poster Nan Yin handed her, confused. “Nan Jie, aren’t we only doing fashion design?”
“Are you taking on aircraft promotion design too?”
Nan Yin swiped open her phone screen and casually entered the number from Fu Shi’s business card. “His company. Why do you think I want to apply?”
Huh? That top-tier hormone-filled man’s company?
Damn, then she definitely had to help her Nan Jie get it.
