Gorgeous Female Tenants

Chapter 70 Lida Mall

After leaving the Tongren Medical Center, Xu Xiangbei pressed the key to unlock his Ferrari sports car, its fiery red doors slowly swinging open.

The combination of a luxury car and a beautiful woman was a sight to behold. Xu Xiangbei sat in the comfortable driver’s seat, smiling as he said, "Get in, my beautiful assistant."

Ding Keke flipped her ponytail, shaking off her earlier melancholy. She looked radiant and bright, her youthful figure full of vitality, while Zhang Xiaoli stayed shamefully inside Tongren Hospital, not daring to come out.

Once Ding Keke got in and settled down, Xu Xiangbei revved the engine, and the Ferrari roared like a charging leopard and sped away.

Sunlight streamed through the car window, shining on Ding Keke’s face, making her skin glisten like crystal.

Xu Xiangbei couldn’t help but stare, raising an eyebrow as he teased, "Beautiful assistant, feeling better now?"

Ding Keke raised her head proudly, "Well, I’m in a good mood, but it was a bit bloody. Watching Zhang Xiaoli get hit made me a little sad."

"Kind-hearted silly girl, what’s a bit of blood? If Zhang Xiaoli had won today, they wouldn’t have spared you any mercy. They wouldn’t hold back, even if they crushed your bones to powder."

Although Ding Keke was inherently kind, she wasn’t naive. She knew Xu Xiangbei was telling the truth—this was the harsh reality.

"Hehe, beautiful assistant, I stood up for you, so how are you going to reward me?"

A blush appeared on Ding Keke’s fair face, making her look as adorable as a red apple.

"Come on, you’re my boss. You should help me out."

"So you’re not quitting then?"

Ding Keke giggled shyly, "Not for now. It depends on your performance. If you’re not up to par, I might quit."

Xu Xiangbei smiled bitterly, thinking, "What logic is this? Since when do employees decide to quit based on their boss’s performance? Truly, how times have changed."

Suddenly, Ding Keke exclaimed, stomping her foot in frustration, startling Xu Xiangbei so much he almost ran a red light, "What’s wrong now, my beautiful assistant?"

"My clothes got blood on them. This was my best-looking outfit."

It was only then that Xu Xiangbei noticed the visible bloodstain on the hem of Ding Keke’s blue floral dress, but his gaze lingered on her smooth, jade-like thighs, causing him to swallow unconsciously.

He couldn’t help but tease, "Who told you to help her apply medicine and got your clothes dirty? Look at that, it won’t even wash out."

As he spoke, he reached over to brush the dress a few times, pretending to be concerned for Ding Keke, though his fingers casually brushed against her silky soft thigh, feeling exceptionally pleasant.

Ding Keke, heartbroken over her stained beloved dress, pouted, not noticing Xu Xiangbei’s sly actions, only realizing her mistake when her cool leg attracted his touch.

She promptly twisted Xu Xiangbei’s hand, "Hey, what are you touching?"

Xu Xiangbei chuckled wickedly, "I was checking if the blood on your dress had dried."

"Pervert, you’re touching my leg!"

"Haha, I must focus on driving. My hand slipped to the wrong spot—ah, so that smoothness was your thigh."

Ding Keke refused to give in, "You liar, you did it on purpose. It’s your fault my dress is stained. You owe me."

Xu Xiangbei eyed Ding Keke’s long, fair legs, "I’ll pay for it. It’s just a dress. I’ll take you to buy two even more expensive and prettier ones, and you’ll look even better in them."

Ding Keke covered her legs securely with her dress, "Pervert, I knew you had ulterior motives. I don’t want a dress from you; who knows what you’re planning."

"Relax, treat it as your work uniform. You don’t need a lab coat as my assistant, just look pretty."

Xu Xiangbei turned the wheel, heading not back to the courtyard but towards the renowned Lida Mall in Jiangcheng.

Lida Mall is an upscale shopping center in Jiangcheng, with many domestic and international flagship stores, and its products are quite pricey.

Seeing Xu Xiangbei take her to Lida Mall, Ding Keke felt a bit embarrassed and urgently said, "The clothes here cost thousands; I can’t afford them."

Xu Xiangbei was smug, "You don’t have to pay. I’ll buy them for you as work clothes. Don’t look at the price; just buy what you like."

Ding Keke was genuinely tempted, suppressing her joy as she nodded, "Thank you, boss."

The Lida Mall parking lot was packed. Xu Xiangbei craned his neck, finally finding a free parking spot, and quickly drove over.

Just as he parked, out of nowhere emerged a bald man with a menacing tattoo of a blue dragon on his arm, holding a receipt book, blocking the car door, "Boss, there’s a parking fee."

Xu Xiangbei squinted disdainfully, "How much?"

Seeing Xu Xiangbei’s luxury Ferrari, the bald man whistled knowingly, "We’ll charge you a hundred bucks first, extra for over an hour."

Xu Xiangbei wanted to punch the bald man, "A hundred upfront? You might as well rob me."

"That’s our mall’s rule. You can choose not to park here if you don’t agree."

"I’m here to shop; why should I pay a parking fee?"

Seeing Xu Xiangbei arguing red-faced over a hundred, Ding Keke quickly took out a hundred and handed it over, "Fine, I’ll pay the hundred."

The bald man gladly pocketed the bill, murmuring, "Driving such a nice car and fussing over a hundred bucks parking fee, this young lady’s much more generous."

"What did you say? Say it again..."

Ding Keke pulled Xu Xiangbei into the mall, "Why argue with them? It’s hot, and getting angry isn’t good for you."

Xu Xiangbei wore a mischievous smile, taking hold of Ding Keke’s small, fair hand, bringing it to his nose to savor, "Holding the beautiful assistant’s hand is worth a hundred bucks."

Ding Keke then realized Xu Xiangbei was merely feigning anger to take advantage; she quickly let go and chided playfully, "Ugh, you’re such a trickster. You could win an Oscar."

"Hehe, I just like holding your hand. This mall’s so big; I’m afraid I’ll get lost."

"Hmph, it wouldn’t be so bad if a trafficker abducted you."

Lida Mall was bustling, filled with lavish stores and various brand logos in every corner. The aisles were packed with dazzling merchandise, and the staff were energetic and eagerly promoting their products.

Women love shopping as much as, if not more than, their boyfriends. They might go without seeing their boyfriend for a while, but they can’t go without shopping for even a short period.

They have an innate desire to shop, which Ding Keke, having just graduated, always suppressed. But the moment she stepped into the mall, the urge erupted completely.

The sensation was like that of a long-oppressed serf finally rising up as a master. Her feet had no direction as she bounced around the mall like a little rabbit.

Watching the excited Ding Keke, Xu Xiangbei wondered if bringing her to the mall was a good idea, feeling like he might have let a tiger back into the wild.
