Lu Fei didn’t bother to explain further. Instead, he continued calmly, “There’s another one—Huaqing Real Estate. I estimate its increase will exceed ten percent. It’s very simple. Recently, the real estate prices in Yangcheng have been rising sharply, and their properties are located in several areas with great development potential.”
Xu Yan was completely shocked. Simple? There was barely any news about Huaqing Real Estate online. Yet, Lu Fei had pieced together the limited information, investigated the locations of their developments, and even studied the urban planning and industrial clusters of Yangcheng. Only after such detailed research could he confidently predict a ten percent increase.
“He can’t possibly explain it again like that, can he?” Xu Yan turned to look at Lu Fei, her face filled with awe. She was so shocked that even being touched by him didn’t make her react for a moment. By the time she came back to her senses, Lu Fei had already let go… letting him take advantage of her once again.
Lu Fei stood up, picked up his phone, and said, “Tomorrow morning, when the market opens, buy Huaqing Real Estate. In about three days, both stocks should rise. It’s not a huge profit, though.” The increase he referred to was within a single trading cycle, probably over three days. He calculated that if he invested 900,000 yuan, after taxes and fees, he would cash out with around 1.18 million yuan—an easy 286,000 yuan profit in just three days. Nothing life-changing, but enough to satisfy his desire to test his predictions.
As he finalized his investment plans, the takeout arrived.
The spicy lamb fried rice noodles were here! Lu Fei brought the food to the table and opened the container. A rich aroma of chili and soy sauce filled the room, carrying a strong Northwestern flavor. Xu Yan, caught off guard, sneezed twice.
Lu Fei laughed and brought the noodles close to her, letting her sniff them. Xu Yan sneezed again and again. Infuriated, she turned and ran back to the sofa, glaring at Lu Fei’s back with murderous intent. No, she still couldn’t coexist peacefully with this dog man.
Lu Fei watched the cat retreat and didn’t chase her. He let her be, letting the smell punish her naturally. He sat down, ate the spicy noodles, and enjoyed a slice of watermelon. After a tiring day of work, such a dinner was pure bliss. Plus, with the system rewards, he could eat whatever he liked without worrying about gaining weight.
Soon, the other delivery arrived—the meat he had bought. Lu Fei brought it to the kitchen, cooked it carefully, and after it had cooled, tore it into pieces and placed it in the cat bowl.
“Xiaohua, eat,” he called softly. This chapter was taken from g.com without permission.
Xu Yan’s ears flicked, but she ignored him. She wouldn’t lower herself to eat the food he offered. But Lu Fei wasn’t taking no for an answer. He walked over, picked her up by the neck, and carried her to the food bowl.
Dog man! Always using his hands!
Xu Yan struggled, but Lu Fei’s grip was firm. He held her securely, gently holding her front paws as he brought her to the bowl.
“Come on, open your mouth and eat,” he coaxed softly.
Xu Yan’s heart skipped a beat. From her angle, she could see Lu Fei’s sharp jawline and his well-defined abs. Hiss… This was a bit overwhelming for her… She quickly looked away. It’s all an illusion! No matter how handsome the dog man is, it doesn’t change the fact that he’s a dog! She must not fall for it!
She stubbornly refused to eat. After two minutes of waiting, Lu Fei frowned. “Are you feeling unwell? The cat food hasn’t been touched, and you’ve barely drunk any water. Should I take you to the vet?”
“Meow!” Xu Yan hissed and scrambled away, ignoring him entirely. Lu Fei didn’t force it, instead putting the meat in the fridge. “We’ll talk when you’re hungry. If you don’t eat it tomorrow, we’ll head to the hospital.”
After tidying up, he flopped onto the sofa, found a movie, and started watching it. Xu Yan lay beside him, closing her eyes. She needed to sleep early tonight—she couldn’t risk going back at five in the morning again. She’d endure the dog man tonight and leave after he went to work. She made a mental note to empty some cat food and pour out some water before she left.
Slowly, Xu Yan drifted off to sleep. Lu Fei glanced at her and couldn’t help but snap a photo, sending it to his parents. With his work done, dinner eaten, and nothing left to clean, he lay back, watching his favorite movie, accompanied by a cat. Life felt relaxed and comfortable.
After the movie ended, it was already half past ten. Lu Fei got up, washed up, and picked up the sleeping cat. “Let’s sleep together,” he said softly. This chapter is updated first at novelping . com.
Xu Yan, half-asleep, barely resisted. After a token struggle, she gave up. Forget it, she told herself. The dog man helped her earn money, so she’d let him have this little comfort tonight.
The dark night passed quietly, and Lu Fei soon fell asleep.
The next morning, at 4:50 a.m., Xu Yan woke up suddenly. She checked Lu Fei’s bedside clock and breathed a sigh of relief. “Good, not too late this time.” She turned to look at Lu Fei, who was still fast asleep.
Huh? Isn’t this the perfect chance for revenge?
Xu Yan’s eyes lit up with excitement. She leapt into the air and landed squarely on Lu Fei’s stomach.
Dog man, get up!
You like holding me while I sleep? Then I’ll make sure you wake up like this!
