Gorgeous Female Tenants

Chapter 308: Sitting on the Mountain Watching the Tigers Fight

When Xu Xiangbei walked into the dining room, he saw Xiao Lin already sitting at the table.

She was wearing a purple wrap dress that had long been dried, with a low-cut neckline, revealing elegant and smooth white skin. The elastic dress outlined her graceful figure. Her slender pinky was slightly raised as she held a transparent glass, elegantly drinking milk. Upon seeing Xu Xiangbei approaching, a gentle smile appeared on her beautiful face, and her sea-blue eyes affectionately gazed at Xu Xiangbei.

She asked softly, "Dr. Xu, did you sleep well last night?"

"Very well, I slept like a log, and you? Did my niece snore and disturb you?"

Xiao Lin was amused by him, her smile charming and captivating: "She doesn’t snore at all."

Xu Xiangbei sat down next to Xiao Lin, and even though there was a plate of sliced bread in front of him, he reached over and grabbed a piece from Xiao Lin’s plate, stuffing it into his mouth.

He grinned as he watched Xiao Lin’s undulating chest, cheerfully chewing the bread: "This bread is big and soft, and so fragrant."

Understanding the subtle innuendo in Xu Xiangbei’s words, Xiao Lin blushed slightly, giving him an annoyed look while slapping the back of his hand as he reached over again: "Don’t eat my bread."

Xu Xiangbei, with an animated expression, shamelessly reached for Xiao Lin’s plate again: "Hehe, your bread is fragrant and soft, tastier than mine, I want to eat your bread."

Ouyang Jiahui came over with a fruit platter, and seeing Xu Xiangbei so close to Xiao Lin with a drooling expression, she cleared her throat to remind him to mind his manners.

Xu Xiangbei remained nonchalant, grinning cheekily: "Niece, did you catch a cold last night? Is your throat not feeling well?"

Grandpa and Ouyang Yude also came down from upstairs, and only then did Xu Xiangbei straighten his posture a bit more seriously.

"Good morning, Dr. Xu."

"Good morning, Grandpa, Brother Ouyang."

Ouyang Jiahui glared at Xu Xiangbei, handing him a big red apple: "Eat quickly, I need to get back to the office in a hurry. Where are you going afterward? If it’s too far, take a taxi yourself."

Xu Xiangbei wanted to go to Qinghai Film and Television Factory to see Gu Xinyan, to find out how her filming was going in the past few days. He was about to tell Ouyang Jiahui when he heard his phone ring. Picking it up, he saw it was Gu Xinyan’s call.

He laughed happily; it was such a coincidence. Just when he was thinking of going to see her, she called. He recalled Gu Xinyan’s bright big eyes and her fair, creamy face, about to hear her gentle voice that sounded like a stream.

However, after pressing the answer button, a deafening rough voice came through: "Brother Xu, Brother Xu, are you there?"

It was Lu Xiaomei’s voice, her loud voice made the phone work like a loudspeaker, causing a buzzing in his ear, nearly dropping the phone.

Rubbing his ears, he shouted in frustration: "Why are you yelling? I can hear you, speak quietly. This is a phone, not a loudspeaker."

Seeing Xu Xiangbei’s frustrated look, Xiao Lin and Ouyang Jiahui both laughed.

"Brother Xu, my brother Lu Daquan called. He has to attend an interview with the Qinghai Football Team this morning. He asked me to cheer for him, but I can’t leave Miss. Can you go and cheer him on for me?"

Xu Xiangbei hesitated for a moment. Needing family to cheer during an interview, the Lu siblings were really funny. However, to let Lu Xiaomei take care of Gu Xinyan with peace of mind, he had to agree: "Alright, where is the interview? I’ll go cheer for your brother."

"At the Earth Sea Sports Hall’s football training ground, do you know where that is?"

"I haven’t been there, but I know someone who can find it. Leave it to me."

After hanging up the phone, Xu Xiangbei asked Ouyang Jiahui: "Niece, does the Qinghai Football Team usually train at the Earth Sea Sports Hall football field?"

Ouyang Jiahui, drinking milk and blinking her big eyes, replied: "They usually train there. The last time I went there to discuss the design style of training suits, I interviewed their coach at the Earth Sea Sports Hall. Are you planning to go there?"

"A friend of mine is attending a Qinghai Football Team interview, so I’m going to cheer him on. Do you know what time it starts?"

"I’ll check with David to see if he’s there."

Ouyang Jiahui made a phone call to David and, after chatting and laughing for a bit, told Xu Xiangbei: "They train at the Earth Sea Sports Hall at 8 in the morning. Is your friend Lu Daquan? Coach Martin has arranged an interview with him at 8:30.

"Then could you give me a ride to the Earth Sea Sports Hall?"

Ouyang Jiahui reluctantly said: "Unfortunately, it’s out of the way. The Earth Sea Sports Hall is not on the route. I have to take Xiao Lin to the Thunderbird Group in the east, then drop you at the Sports Hall in the west. It’s like circling the globe, it’ll exhaust me."

Xiao Lin smiled: "I don’t need to go to the Thunderbird Group today. There’s no photo shoot, and I don’t have much to do. How about I go with Dr. Xu to the Earth Sea Sports Hall instead?"

Ouyang Jiahui looked at her friend with suspicion: "Aren’t you afraid of being eaten up by him if you’re together? If I hadn’t arrived in time that night, you would have been eaten by him."

Xu Xiangbei defended himself but found it harder to explain: "I am a gentleman, you completely misunderstood me that night. I just wanted to take off her clothes so she could sleep with a blanket, I just thought about it... I didn’t mean anything."

Seeing Xu Xiangbei’s embarrassed look, Xiao Lin covered her mouth and laughed: "Don’t worry, it’s fine, Brother Xu is a good person, I’m safe with him."

Ouyang Jiahui teased, giving Xu Xiangbei the side-eye: "Okay, fine, I was worrying for nothing, so I’ll take you to the Sports Hall. But I warn you, don’t go anywhere secluded with him alone, or else you, this little lamb, will be eaten by him, the big bad wolf."

Xu Xiangbei retorted: "Niece, if I were a big bad wolf, you’d be involved too."

Xiao Lin picked up a soft piece of bread, watching Xu Xiangbei and Ouyang Jiahui bicker with a leisurely expression, smiling as she watched them argue as if she were watching a drama. It was quite amusing.

After breakfast, Ouyang Jiahui drove Xu Xiangbei and Xiao Lin to the Earth Sea Sports Hall together.

At the entrance, Xiao Lin and Xu Xiangbei got out of the car. As Xu Xiangbei leaned against the car door, he smiled at Ouyang Jiahui: "Niece, after we’re done here, let’s take a taxi to the Emperor’s Pavilion for lunch, care to join us?"

She actually did want to go to the Emperor’s Pavilion for the cuisine, but work was important. Despite her usual chattiness like a little sparrow, she was meticulous and responsible when it came to work. This was why she had become the editor of a well-known fashion magazine at such a young age.

Ouyang Jiahui shook her head with a helpless expression: "Can’t make it, I’m busy with revisions these two days, no time to eat with you. I’ll call you when I’m done, see you."
