Gorgeous Female Tenants

Chapter 217 Expelled

Xu Xiangbei was pushed out of the east wing by Ding Keke, standing in the courtyard, feeling the gentle breeze, a hint of coolness.

The night scene in the courtyard was beautiful and enchanting, a bright moon cast shadows on the pond’s surface, moving with the wind, shimmering with golden light. It had been a long time since he enjoyed the peace of the night.

With a creak, the door of the west wing opened, and a beam of light shone through. Liu Ningyan’s exquisite face appeared at the door, her wavy, waterfall-like hair draped over her chest. Unfortunately, she was wearing a tracksuit, completely hiding her graceful curves.

Upon seeing Xu Xiangbei, she beamed and said, "Dr. Xu, I was wondering why it’s so noisy in the courtyard; turns out it’s you. What are you doing here in the middle of the night, surely not to steal chickens?"

A drowsy voice from inside the room said, "Who dares to steal chickens? I’ll grab a stick and hit him, but do we even have chickens in our courtyard?"

Xu Xiangbei chuckled to himself and said to Liu Ningyan, "Ningyan, you’re still up? Still coding?"

Liu Ningyan’s face was covered with an excitable glow, "I’m testing Ancient Moon Red Dust online, just a small-scale internal test with our college friends. The test results were completely successful, the database is secure, and the speed is decent. We’re ready for a large-scale test."

Hearing that the online test was successful meant that Ancient Moon Red Dust was a step closer to being launched for promotion. Xu Xiangbei was happy about it, too.

Liu Ningyan rubbed her waist with a face full of soreness, "I’ve been busy from morning till now, and my waist is all sore."

Xu Xiangbei gave a cheeky grin, stretching out his hands, making a grabbing motion in the air, "You’ve worked hard. Want me to give you a massage to relieve the pressure, make you feel incredibly good?"

Recalling the scene when Xu Xiangbei last treated her, a touch of blush appeared on Liu Ningyan’s ethereal face, like mist and rain, making her look even more fresh and beautiful.

Liu Ningyan changed the subject, "Dr. Xu, the day after tomorrow, you have to go with us to Earth Sea City."

Timing was perfect by accident. Xu Xiangbei was a bit surprised, "What a coincidence, I’m heading to Earth Sea City tomorrow to take a friend for an audition at Earth Sea Film and Television Company. Why do you want me to go with you to Earth Sea?"

"Although we’ve developed the game, we don’t have experience operating online games. I contacted Chen Xin, a company with experience in game operation, to help us run the game. Earth Sea Thunderbird Company has successfully operated two online game projects in three years; their operation plans and channels are the best in the country. We’ve arranged with their CEO Lei Zhengsheng to visit Earth Sea the day after tomorrow to discuss operational collaboration. You’re our boss, so you should definitely be there."

Xu Xiangbei laughed easily, "Such a small matter, you can decide, I don’t need to attend."

Seeing Xu Xiangbei wasn’t interested in the matter, Liu Ningyan pouted and complained, "The more, the merrier. You wouldn’t let us two girls negotiate business alone, right? We’re a team. Besides, you’re in Earth Sea the day after tomorrow, just spare some time to attend the meeting."

Seeing Liu Ningyan’s insistence, Xu Xiangbei softened, "Alright, we’ll connect the day after tomorrow, but now I need to send a beautiful lady back to the villa. See you later."

Bringing Ouyang Jiahui back to Spring Villa, it was already one in the morning. Ouyang Jiahui was so tired she fell asleep in the car. Seeing her sleeping so sweetly, Xu Xiangbei didn’t wake her, but carried her to the bedroom on the third floor.

After placing Ouyang Jiahui on the bed, she curled up like a shy plant. Xu Xiangbei covered her with a blanket and quietly closed the door.

Surprisingly, Xu Xiangbei noticed the light was still on in Gu Xinyan’s room on the second floor. Her bedroom door was slightly ajar, with light streaming through the narrow gap.

He wandered to the room’s entrance, hearing Gu Xinyan practicing her lines inside.

He gently pushed the door open, smiling, "Our superstar, working so late, aren’t you? You’ll be catching a flight tomorrow, better get some rest."

Gu Xinyan was so focused she didn’t notice Xu Xiangbei at the door. She wore only a thin white silk nightgown, looking incredibly alluring.

Noticing Xu Xiangbei’s gaze on her chest, she blushed slightly and shyly covered it with her hand, "You’re back; have you prepared your luggage for tomorrow?"

"I don’t have much luggage, just a travel bag and a few change of clothes. What about you, is your luggage ready?"

Pointing to a blue suitcase in front of her bed, Gu Xinyan said, "I’ve also prepared some clothes, all set."

Xu Xiangbei laughed ambiguously, "So tomorrow night, it’ll be just the two of us, huh."

Thinking about going to a strange city with Xu Xiangbei, just the two of them, Gu Xinyan felt a bit scared and said weakly, "You’re not allowed to bully me, or I’ll tell my sister."

Xu Xiangbei laughed, "Don’t worry, Fairy Sister, I did make a vow in front of your sister. Sleep early, okay? If you can’t get up in the morning and miss the flight, I’ll leave you and head to Earth Sea alone, mind you."

Gu Xinyan thought of something, "What about Sister Ouyang? Isn’t she coming with us?"

"She was sleeping like a log."

"Leave now, I’m going to sleep."

Gu Xinyan hit the electric switch on her wheelchair, heading for the door, but Xu Xiangbei stood at the door with a cheeky expression, not intending to leave.

Annoyed, Gu Xinyan picked up a broom from behind the door and swept at Xu Xiangbei’s feet, "Move over, I’m closing the door now."

That’s how Xu Xiangbei got swept out, and he disdainfully whistled, "Everyone uses this trick; am I that unwelcome? I’m going back to sleep."

Gu Xinyan turned off the light, and moonlight filtered in through the window, covering the room in silver. With dreams and hopes, she drifted into a deep sleep, with a charming smile on her delicate face.

The next morning, Xu Xiangbei was awakened by the sound of knocking on the door.

The lock on his room door usually wasn’t tightly shut, and just turning the handle would open it.

Although Ouyang Jiahui turned the handle, she continued to knock on the door vigorously. Her small, frail body was full of energy, her shouting was deafening.

"Wake up, the flight is at ten, it’s seven now."

Seeing Ouyang Jiahui, who seemed high on adrenaline and so excited, Xu Xiangbei smiled wryly, "It’s only seven, I didn’t sleep until after two; let me sleep a bit more."

Ouyang Jiahui was resolute, "No way, it’s an hour to the airport, and we still need to go through security; there’s no time."

Xu Xiangbei simply covered his head with the blanket, ignoring Ouyang Jiahui’s yelling, which was like an air raid siren.
