Gorgeous Female Tenants

Chapter 344: The Young Master Who Loves to Give Gifts

With Dongfang Bai taking care of Gu Xinyan, Xu Xiangbei felt more at ease and reminded from the back seat, "Xiao Bai, drive carefully. Slow down when braking, her wheelchair might wobble. When you get to the set, remember to call me."

Gu Xinyan revealed her otherworldly, delicate face from the car window, "Wishing you success with your business opening, I won’t be going to the Emperor’s Pavilion."

Watching Dongfang Bai drive away slowly, Xu Xiangbei finally returned to the villa.

From upstairs came the melodious voice of Liu Ningyan as she and Chen Yan descended the stairs, discussing something.

Chen Yan smiled and waved at Xu Xiangbei, running down the stairs, "Hey, handsome, good morning."

Liu Ningyan descended the stairs gracefully, her face glowing with a halo like a saint in the sunlight, her smile serene and natural, "Did you sleep well last night?"

Rubbing his messy hair, Xu Xiangbei shook his head, "Nope, after you went to your room, I slept on the sofa all night, and then Lu Xiaomei woke me up, haha, didn’t sleep well at all."

Liu Ningyan chuckled and took out a beautifully packaged box of mints from her small handbag, "These are mint-flavored gum, I chew them often when I stay up late, helps to refresh. If you feel tired, just take one. Don’t worry, it’s caffeine-free, no stimulants, completely harmless."

Xu Xiangbei laughed, "Do you guys have time at noon? I’ll take you to the Emperor’s Pavilion for some good food."

Liu Ningyan and Chen Yan exchanged a glance, looking a bit gloomy, "It’s a pity, we’re heading back to Jiangcheng this noon."

Xu Xiangbei was stunned, "Going back to Jiangcheng? Aren’t you going to finish things here?"

"School is starting, I wanted to tell you last night, but you weren’t around. After all, game development is business activity, we still have to continue our studies. We have a flight at noon, if you’re free, send us to the airport in the morning."

A feeling of loss suddenly rose in Xu Xiangbei’s heart, but he smiled lightly, "Alright, I’m reopening the Emperor’s Pavilion at noon, wanted to let you taste it, I guess we’ll have to wait for your next visit to Earth Sea."

Chen Yan poured a glass of juice and asked with a smile, "When will you return to Jiangcheng?"

Xu Xiangbei shook his head, still having some unfinished business in Earth Sea, he might have to stay a while longer. He suddenly thought of something and smiled ambiguously, "Did you guys have something else to hide from me last night? I’m giving you a chance to confess."

Liu Ningyan and Chen Yan exchanged a glance with a mischievous smile, "Don’t tell us you already know? Haha, do you know who our neighbor is?"

With a smug look, "Please, is there anything I don’t know? I ran into Teacher Chu this morning, you two really kept it tight-lipped."

Sipping on juice, Liu Ningyan and Chen Yan chuckled teasingly, "Your old flame is here, aren’t you even prouder now?"

"Teacher Chu and I just met at Jiangcheng University, we never dated, just ordinary friends, you two little girls, don’t talk nonsense."

Ding, the doorbell rang, followed by a familiar melodious voice from the yard, "Is Dr. Xu in?"

Liu Ningyan giggled, "Speak of the devil and the devil appears, your ’ordinary friend’ is here to see you."

Chen Yan winked at Liu Ningyan, and the two ran upstairs together, "We won’t disturb your reunion and heart-to-heart."

"A bit of longing, twice the melancholy, haha..."

Recalling the encounter with Teacher Chu, Xu Xiangbei’s previously low spirits began to lift, his face recovering a cheerful smile as he headed to the yard.

The graceful and charming figure of Teacher Chu came into view, she had also changed clothes, wearing a long white lace dress that revealed her fair and slender ankles.

But at her side, there was still the gentle and elegant Shen Congru.

Shen Congru warmly extended his hand, his confident and elegant tone coupled with a smile, "Dr. Xu, what a coincidence, so you’re actually friends with my sister."

Xu Xiangbei smiled stiffly.

Although still a bit awkward, realizing that Shen Congru might one day be his brother-in-law, the displeasure in Xu Xiangbei’s heart eased a lot, and his smile turned more enthusiastic.

"Young Master Shen, such a coincidence, if I had known your family lived nearby, I would have moved sooner. Please, come in and sit."

Teacher Chu’s face flushed slightly, her expression turned into a feigned pout as she glared at Xu Xiangbei, and followed him inside, her voice tinged with a hint of jealousy.

Inviting Shen Congru and his sister to sit on the living room sofa, Xu Xiangbei poured them each a cup of hot tea, which Liu Ningyan had made earlier but didn’t get to sip, and now Xu Xiangbei was using it to entertain guests.

Lifting the lid of the elegantly patterned, engraved purple clay teapot, a waft of jasmine tea fragrance filled the air, refreshing and delightful.

Taking a light sip, Chu Xiaoran smiled with a hint of intoxication and playfully said, "Where are they? The whole place was filled with beauties when I arrived last night, Dr. Xu, your blessing is not shallow. Some hide a single beauty in a golden house, while you’ve got a whole house full."

Shen Congru maintained his unflappable, harmless smile.

His eyes carried a look of nostalgia, clearly reminiscing about the house full of beauties, still harboring a fantasy of another chance encounter.

Faced with Teacher Chu’s joke, Xu Xiangbei couldn’t muster a smile, "They’re my beautiful tenants, two of them are students at Jiangcheng University, Teacher Chu should recognize them."

Chu Xiaoran’s exquisitely made-up face carried a knowing smile, "Dr. Xu, actually I’m quite envious of you, the beauties in your house are like hidden dragons and crouching tigers. I had a talk with them last night, didn’t expect the now-popular ’Ancient Moon Red Dust’ game to be their creation, and to my surprise, the rising film star I admire, Gu Xinyan, turns out to be your tenant as well. You are probably the happiest landlord in the world."

Shen Congru smiled in agreement, "Being neighbors with you is also our honor."

With Shen Congru and his sister’s compliments, Xu Xiangbei felt a bit over the moon.

"Do you have time at noon? My Emperor Pavilion Hotel is reopening, join us for the event, if you come, you’ll be the VIPs."

Upon hearing Xu Xiangbei’s invitation to attend the hotel’s opening ceremony, Shen Congru straightened his neat suit and happily replied, "Sure, looks like I’ll have to gift you another bottle of fine wine."

Xu Xiangbei laughed heartily, "If Young Master Shen keeps gifting like this, my hotel might not need to buy wine anymore, could start a tavern just with your gifted wine."

Shen Congru took a sip of tea, thought of something, and said joyfully, "Why not, I could gift you a yacht, the three-story kind, fill it up and you can sail all the way from Earth Sea to Hawaii, U.S."

Poof, Xu Xiangbei was choked again, the world of these wealthy sons is really something else, to them, making friends means gifting things everywhere, rejecting it would be disrespectful to them.
