Gorgeous Female Tenants

Chapter 330: The New Neighbor

Gu Xinyan’s snow-white face was flushed red: "You’re annoying, you’ve already threatened me more than once."

Recall when treating Gu Xinyan’s leg, Xu Xiangbei had kissed her soft, warm red lips. Unfortunately, when he attempted to go further, it was thwarted by Gu Xiangyi, ruining his chance.

But today, hehe, in the four-story villa, it’s just him and Gu Xinyan. Who else is there to interrupt?

"Come on, I’ll just kiss you once."

Gu Xinyan covered her face: "Aren’t you afraid my sister will find out and won’t let you off?"

Xu Xiangbei chuckled: "Your sister is miles away, how could she possibly manage me."

Suddenly, a ringing sounded in the house, startling Xu Xiangbei, who thought it might be a call from Gu Xiangyi. It turned out it wasn’t a phone but the intercom buzzing in the living room, with a face on the camera shaking back and forth.

Xu Xiangbei was a bit annoyed; every time he wanted to make a move, someone would interrupt.

He pressed the talk button: "Who is it?"

The person at the door took a step back so Xu Xiangbei could see him, waving at Xu Xiangbei, who recognized him as Shen Congru, the one who had handed him the real estate contract last night.

"It’s me, Dr. Xu. Security said you came to see the house. How is it? Are you satisfied?"

Xu Xiangbei pressed the unlock button: "Come on in."

Since this house was handed over by Shen Congru, Xu Xiangbei had a good impression of him and thought it impolite to leave a guest outside, so he let Shen Congru in.

He pushed Gu Xinyan from the elevator to the first-floor living room.

Today, Shen Congru was wearing a white Armani suit, with a pocket square in his chest pocket. His hairstyle was as shiny and smooth as a shampoo spokesperson in a TV commercial, with a subtle smile on his face.

It was actually the first time entering the villa, probably more than Shen Congru had, but Xu Xiangbei knew this would be his home in Earth Sea, and he was the owner of the villa. No matter how long Shen Congru and Qin Daming stayed here, they were always guests.

Xu Xiangbei, with the tone of a host, smiled and said to Shen Congru: "Please sit down. The villa’s layout and decoration are beautiful, and the environment is great. I really like it."

Seeing Gu Xinyan in a wheelchair, Shen Congru’s eyes lit up: "Is this your girlfriend?"

Xu Xiangbei nodded: "Yes, this is my girlfriend."

Gu Xinyan did not object to this title but gently lowered her eyes, smiled and said to Shen Congru: "Hello."

Shen Congru nodded to Gu Xinyan, then got to the point: "Your girlfriend is very beautiful. Did you get all the house paperwork done at the sales office just now?"

Xu Xiangbei laughed: "All the paperwork is done. Young Master Shen, do you work at the property here? Your news is quite well-informed, you knew as soon as I arrived?"

Shen Congru smiled mysteriously: "No, no, Dr. Xu, you misunderstood me. I don’t work here; I live here, just next door to you."

Xu Xiangbei suddenly realized and laughed out: "So you’re the neighbor."

"Haha, didn’t expect that, did you? I saw you walking along the path from the window, so I came to have a look at you. To be honest, I always hoped Qin Daming would move in next door, but he has too many villas and hardly stays. With you as my new neighbor, I’m equally pleased."

On the surface, Xu Xiangbei was smiling, but inside he thought skeptically, I don’t want to be neighbors with Qin Daming’s friend. This guy looks slick, who knows how many good girls he’s tempted, and with so many beauties here, he might have some agenda.

Though not at ease inside, he couldn’t show it, and had to act happily, extending his hand: "There’s a saying that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. I hope we can be good neighbors."

Shen Congru’s eyes gently lingered on Gu Xinyan, becoming soft: "Of course, we will definitely be good neighbors in the future."

Inside, Xu Xiangbei felt frustrated, it’s the first time visiting, and he’s already staring at my future wife, too much. Oh God, did I make the right decision moving here?

"I wonder what Young Master Shen does for a living?"

Shen Congru took out a gold-threaded business card from his pocket, brightly colored, with a faint fragrance of perfume.

The title on the card was Vice President of Earth Sea Commercial Bank.

Xu Xiangbei silently cursed, damn it, turns out he’s a banker’s son, no wonder he looks so wealthy, living in a fifty-million-dollar villa.

Shen Congru, with a hopeful expression, asked: "Dr. Xu, when do you plan to move in?"

Xu Xiangbei smiled while inwardly cursing, you seem particularly eager for me to move in, surely with some hidden purpose. With you here, I’m not keen on moving in just yet.

Gu Xinyan, still excited from earlier, chimed in: "We’re moving in two days, or maybe tomorrow. Tomorrow might be a good day, and we might as well move in today, as I might have to be on set tomorrow. The furniture here is complete, and we don’t have much, just a suitcase. We can move in tonight."

Gu Xinyan, thinking they could move in tonight, became even more excited.

They didn’t have much luggage, and could move in tonight, but Xu Xiangbei didn’t want to tell Shen Congru they would move in so soon.

He smiled and said, "We’ll move in a few days, no rush."

Gu Xinyan, unaware of Xu Xiangbei’s thoughts, protested: "No, I want to move in tonight."

Seeing the disagreement between Gu Xinyan and Xu Xiangbei, Shen Congru laughed, his smile filled with an inscrutable depth and a sense of watching from the sidelines.

Xu Xiangbei had to agree with Gu Xinyan: "Alright, we’ll move tonight."

Shen Congru courteously offered to help: "It’s great that you’re moving in so soon. Do you need my help? I have time today."

The more enthusiastic Shen Congru was, the more uneasy Xu Xiangbei felt: What is this guy up to, offering kindness without knowing each other, must be either a thief or up to no good.

He quickly waved it off with a smile: "No need, no need, we don’t have much to move, just a suitcase. We have plenty of friends who can help, no need to trouble Young Master Shen."

Shen Congru flicked his hair, his smile elegant and polished: "You’re such an interesting person, so courteous even among good neighbors. No need to let me help, fine, I’ll bring over a bottle of ’92 Bordeaux champagne tonight. That diamond champagne last night, which I gave you, tastes good, right? It costs a thousand dollars a bottle, but it’s not as good as the one I’ll bring tonight. Which bottle would you like me to bring?"

Xu Xiangbei casually replied: "No need for such fine wine, Young Master Shen, just ordinary wine..."

As soon as he said it, he felt he’d fallen for it, tricked into a lose-lose choice, Shen Congru was so damn cunning.
