Gorgeous Female Tenants

Chapter 192: Attracting Bees and Butterflies

"This is my house, alright? Who do you think you are?" Xu Xiangbei looked bewildered. As the saying goes, a woman’s heart is like a needle in the sea, not wrong at all.

And also, they hold grudges. Still bearing a grudge here.

"For nothing. Next time, as long as you’re in the bathroom with me, I’ll call the police and report you for harassment."

Xu Xiangbei was at a loss for words. When facing a famous editor known for her scathing tongue, it’s best to avoid disputes.

Last night, he specifically went online to browse the magazine edited by Ouyang Jiahui.

This girl really has a sharp tongue, many models have been verbally critiqued by her, though those who did well were also praised by her.

Overall, she criticizes more than she compliments. There was even a model working as a socialite who was exposed by her for indecent behavior, followed by a harsh mockery that nearly drove the model to suicide in shame.

Xu Xiangbei went to the dining room, at a time when Gu Xiangyi was making breakfast for her sister. He would shamelessly go to beg for some milk and eggs, and if lucky, maybe even steak, hamburgers, and bacon.

How lucky would he be today?

Today’s luck was pretty good, he couldn’t help but reveal a smug smile.

The aroma of frying bacon came from the kitchen, while the elegantly looking Gu Xinyan, sitting in a wheelchair, was leisurely reading a book by the dining table, awaiting her sister’s breakfast.

Xu Xiangbei grinningly sidled over, picked up a glass of pure milk from the table, and took a satisfying sip: "Fairy Sister, still reading romance novels?"

Gu Xinyan picked up another glass of milk and took a sip, raising the book in her hand: "This isn’t a romance novel, it’s a script."

Xu Xiangbei showed a look of regret: "Oh dear, a dreamy young girl isn’t reading novels but scripts now. Are you planning to become an actress somewhere else? Wouldn’t that mean my love story lacks a leading lady."

A trace of a smile flashed across Gu Xinyan’s delicate face: "Sit down and eat. Can’t bacon block that mouth of yours with all the nonsense?"

Xu Xiangbei was surprised to find four place settings on the dining table today, each plate with fragrant golden fried bacon, plus a poached egg, and a glass of milk.

"Wow, such a sumptuous breakfast today, and with a portion for me, is today some important holiday?"

Carrying a plate, Gu Xiangyi walked out of the kitchen, her forehead’s fragrant sweat damping her hair, giving her face a rosy glow.

"Today is Miss Ouyang’s first morning staying at our house, of course, we must treat her well. You owe a debt to Miss Ouyang for this."

Throwing a disdainful look at Xu Xiangbei, Gu Xinyan followed up: "You’re benefiting from Sister Ouyang, don’t get self-centered, thinking we’re going to make breakfast for you every day. It’s only during Sister Ouyang’s stay."

Xu Xiangbei replied cheekily: "Having breakfast for a few days is already pretty good, I’m not hoping you’ll cook me breakfast every day. However, if you both marry me in the future, you must make me breakfast."

His words immediately provoked strong ridicule from the Gu Family Sisters: "Oh, you really think of yourself as the lord, dream on, we’re not marrying you."

"Rather marry a pig or a dog than you."

Gu Xinyan, not proficient in insults, realized her mistake as soon as she spoke, knowing Xu Xiangbei would seize upon her words.

Xu Xiangbei calmly took a sip of milk and retorted, "Fairy Sister, you’re so hard-hearted; you truly would marry a pig or a dog rather than me?"

Gu Xinyan’s face blushed slightly, casting a rescue glance at her sister: "I was just using a metaphor, don’t twist my words."

"What are you arguing about?"

Just as Gu Xiangyi was about to help her sister fend off Xu Xiangbei, Ouyang Jiahui walked into the kitchen. Upon seeing her towering pomelo head, Gu Xiangyi almost spat out her milk, but luckily having seen it yesterday, she was no longer surprised.

She suppressed the laughter bubbling inside her, not letting herself laugh out loud, losing interest in dealing with Xu Xiangbei.

Ouyang Jiahui saw a set of empty tableware on the table, guessing it was prepared for her, she took a deep breath, expressing a look of enchantment.

"Smells good, fried bacon, poached eggs, these are my favorites."

Thanks to Ouyang Jiahui, Gu Xinyan had the chance to meet the famous model Liu Yuxing, and she was grateful for the opportunity to audition.

Gu Xinyan smiled at Ouyang Jiahui, "Take a seat, Sister Ouyang, how did you sleep last night?"

Ouyang Jiahui glanced at Xu Xiangbei with her captivating eyes, drawing out her words: "Slept well enough, just a bit worried about someone barging in, the locks here aren’t that secure."

Gu Xinyan, having heard from her sister what happened last night, stifled a laugh with her hand: "Don’t worry, some people have lust but not the courage. We’ve been staying here for several months, and this sort of thing happens quite often."

Xu Xiangbei was helpless, knowing they were all mocking him, so he took big bites of bacon, dismissing the idea of arguing with them.

Suddenly, a sweet voice came from the door: "Sister Ouyang, are you home?"

It was Jack’s voice, Xu Xiangbei hurriedly gulped down his milk, ready to leave the dining room.

Dealing with a fashionista like Ouyang Jiahui was already incomprehensible, and then there’s her stylist, the original creator of that pomelo head; Xu Xiangbei just couldn’t handle it.

But he bumped into Jack in the hall, not just Jack, there was also a young man dressed in a floral shirt, holding a large bouquet of roses.

The young man wasn’t remarkably good-looking, with small nose and eyes, but his hairstyle was particularly eye-catching and unique.

His hairstyle resembled an ancient Roman warrior’s helmet, with a central ridge of hair like a blade, while both sides were bald, exposing bluish scalp.

If he’s not mistaken, it’s definitely Jack’s handiwork.

Jack intercepted Xu Xiangbei, like a wolf spotting a lamb, eyes gleaming, grinning as he approached.

Jack raised a delicate orchid finger and sweetly said, "Doctor Xu, I’ve been thinking of you."

Xu Xiangbei shivered at hearing this; it was scarier than a horror movie. Quickly waving his hand, he said: "Thank you for thinking of me, but I don’t miss you, please maintain your distance."

"You just don’t understand my fragile glass heart."

Xu Xiangbei bitterly smiled, "That’s not a glass heart, it’s a diamond heart, so strong, I need to stay far from you."

To avoid being taken advantage of by Jack, Xu Xiangbei had no choice but to retreat back to the dining room, where more people were around and it felt safer.

This Ouyang Jiahui really attracts a lot of characters. If it weren’t for her, Liu Yuxing wouldn’t have been introduced, nor would Gu Xinyan have gotten caught up in her celebrity dreams.

Now Jack and a young man with tiny eyes also make an appearance.

When Jack, with a face full of grievances, saw Ouyang Jiahui, his mood instantly turned sunny, and he laughed coyly: "Sister Jia Hui, look who came."

Ouyang Jiahui was sipping her milk, seeing the young man carrying flowers come in, her expression didn’t change, showing neither joy nor disdain, her face was calm and composed.

She wore a smile of someone rejecting others a thousand miles away, just the official kind of smile: "President Shan, what brings you here so early?"

President Shan animatedly said: "I heard Miss Ouyang came to Jiangcheng, I hurried from Jiangxin County early in the morning just to win a smile from you. These are red roses that Miss Ouyang loves, please accept them with a smile."
