"Mr. Ye! Miss Qianyu! Please come in!"
After getting out of the car, two rows of welcoming ladies stood outside the Dream House. Each of them was charming and alluring, with graceful figures.
Coupled with their professional pencil skirts, their fair, long legs were completely exposed to the air. Anyone of the opposite sex who saw this scene would inevitably feel their blood surge, and their breathing rate would unconsciously increase by a notch.
"Uh!"
However, before Ye Ming's eyes could even appreciate this stunning vista, a tender spot on his waist was firmly pinched by two fingers.
It seemed as if any wicked thought he harbored would result in something unpleasant.
Ye Ming turned his head and immediately met Nangong Qianyu's gaze, which was filled with a warning.
Although the other party did not speak, how could the intelligent young master Ye not understand?
In the end, with no other choice, Ye Ming, relying on his strong self-control, directly shifted his gaze away and looked inside the restaurant.
Seeing this, Nangong Qianyu's lips curled slightly as she withdrew her hand.
However, when she looked at Li Hongzhi again, there was clearly a hint of displeasure in her eyes.
Of course!
She didn't say much more.
Afterward, having settled the livestream time with Li Hongzhi, Ye Ming and Nangong Qianyu proceeded to the room Li Hongzhi had booked.
"Hmph! What kind of person is he!"
Closing the door, Nangong Qianyu grumbled indignantly.
"Alright! Don't be angry!"
Ye Ming knew what Nangong Qianyu was thinking and could only comfort her with a smiling face.
"Ye Ming! Don't play coy with me! Tell me honestly, if I hadn't been here just now, would Gui'er have been lured away by those vixen-like women?"
Nangong Qianyu shot him a glare, crossed her arms, and questioned, "Don't forget, Sister Nai Ni'er gave me a mission to keep a close eye on you and prevent you from womanizing. If..."
"Stop! Stop! My dear little ancestor, wasn't I not looking?"
Upon hearing her mention Nai Ni'er, Ye Ming immediately raised his hands in surrender and said, "I promise! I'll be good from now on. If you tell me to go east, I won't go west. If you tell me to be on the bottom, I won't flip over. Is that good enough?"
"Hmm?"
Hearing this, Nangong Qianyu had no issues with the first half. But as for the latter part, she felt something was not quite right.
"You..."
However, when she saw the hint of a mischievous smile in Ye Ming's eyes, she suddenly understood.
She then picked up a cushion from the sofa and threw it at Ye Ming, her face flushed as she shouted, "Get lost! You're the one who likes being on top!"
Following this, as expected, Ye Ming was thoroughly beaten.
Fortunately, he had successfully changed the subject.
After Nangong Qianyu got tired from hitting him, she poured herself a glass of water, glared at the young man sitting opposite her, and said irritably, "The livestream is scheduled for 8 PM. How do you plan to spend this free time?"
It wasn't yet noon, and there was still plenty of time.
"Of course, we'll go and investigate the address Nai Ni'er gave us!"
Ye Ming pondered for a moment and gave his answer.
"You mean..."
Nangong Qianyu looked at him, now understanding his meaning.
"Mmm! If things go smoothly, the mysterious楼主 (Louzhu - Mansion Lord) will have no choice but to meet us tomorrow morning!"
Ye Ming stood up, looked out the window, and a wicked smile appeared on his lips.
Some things needed to be done.
"Ye Ming! When you make your move later, remember to be restrained. After all, we have no major conflict with them. If we can negotiate amicably, there's no need to..."
Nangong Qianyu came to Ye Ming's side. Although her words were not finished, Ye Ming already understood her meaning.
It seemed that Nangong Qianyu's inherent kindness could not be quickly encased in sharp armor.
"Don't worry!"
Ye Ming smiled gently, rubbed her little head, and said, "This matter is also greatly beneficial to the Black Tower. I believe they will also see this. This time, it's highly likely I won't need to make a move to reach a consensus with them."
"So, you don't need to worry!"
Seeing this kind girl, Ye Ming also liked her from the bottom of his heart.
"Okay!"
Nangong Qianyu nodded, handed him the water, and felt relieved.
"Then, do you want to go with me again!"
Ye Ming sniffed the faint fragrance from the cup, looked at the not-so-deep lipstick mark, and took a sip.
"I won't go!"
Nangong Qianyu turned around, walked to the sofa, sat down cross-legged, and began to meditate, drawing in the innate qi from the air.
She needed to cultivate.
She was now only one step away from the Rongwu realm. She believed she would break through soon.
Seeing this, Ye Ming smiled knowingly, finished the water in the cup, and placed it on the coffee table.
Then, his figure turned into a mist of light and disappeared from the room.
...
"Mr. Li! Are... are you alright?"
In a certain office, the assistant who was at the airport exit earlier cautiously asked Li Hongzhi, whose complexion was somewhat gloomy.
"Hoo!"
Li Hongzhi took a deep breath, as if trying to expel the oppressive feeling in his heart.
Since his conversation with Ye Ming, he had been somewhat uneasy. He always felt that those deep and bright eyes, like stars, had perceived something.
"I'm fine! Everything will proceed as originally planned!"
Li Hongzhi tapped his fingers on the table, his inner restlessness not completely calmed.
"Yes, I'll notify the members of the Star Girl group to come over immediately!"
The assistant nodded.
Just as he was about to leave the office, Li Hongzhi suddenly called him back and said, "Let Anna come in."
Looking at Li Hongzhi, whose voice was somewhat low, the assistant understood something afterward. After answering "Yes," he retreated.
One minute later.
"Mr. Li! You were looking for me."
The woman who entered at this moment was one of the welcoming ladies from earlier.
She had an excellent appearance and a slender figure, with curves that rippled and captivated the soul.
Especially with the addition of the sexy pencil skirt, every movement she made seemed so alluring and stirring.
"Come here!"
Li Hongzhi stared at her intently, his eyes slightly red.
His breathing also quickened.
As for Li Hongzhi's request, the woman named Anna seemed unsurprised. Instead, she walked beside him very cooperatively and even sat directly on his lap.
Clearly, this was not the first time something like this had happened.
"Mr. Li! This time you have to... Ah!"
However, to Anna's surprise, just as she was about to use her proud, coquettish tone to create an ambiguous atmosphere, Li Hongzhi forcefully pushed her head down.
Due to the suddenness of the event, Anna's entire body slid off Li Hongzhi's lap and landed under the desk.
The frightened Anna had no idea what was happening. Just as she was about to speak, it was already too late.
