She sighed, spreading her hands helplessly, "I also have to make a living, right? Look at me, I’m all alone in A City, I need to survive somehow. But don’t worry, I haven’t done anything illegal like murder or arson. Everything I do is legitimate business. I definitely won’t embarrass you!"
Ran Xiangsi acted cute, even she felt it was terrifying.
Anyway, since she was going to live here, she had to secure the studio first.
Otherwise, how could she, a hacker, continue to work in the future?
Ran Xiangsi was solely focused on her studio, not expecting that what Xing Chen cared about was...
"All alone? Ran Xiangsi, it looks like you didn’t read the agreement properly yesterday." Xing Chen’s eyes darkened, his long eyebrows furrowed, "From the moment you signed it, I’ve been your support."
He said it as if it was the most natural thing in the world.
Ran Xiangsi was a bit stunned, the flattering smile on her face instantly vanished.
Her heartbeat slowed down by a beat.
She just wanted a place to work, she didn’t expect such an immense warmth in return.
The waves of warmth felt like they were going to engulf her completely.
No one had ever been so good to her.
Ironically, it was this fake husband picked up halfway...
Ran Xiangsi fell silent, her eyelids slightly drooping, and that odd behavior from earlier was gone.
Xing Chen glanced back at her, thinking she was disappointed. He was about to speak, but the butler rushed in hurriedly.
"Young Master, Young Madam, the Lou Family has arrived. The old officer and Lou Xining are both here."
Upon hearing this, Xing Chen squinted his eyes suddenly, "They came quickly. Invite them in."
"Yes, Young Master." The butler respectfully retreated.
Ran Xiangsi was a bit curious, "Lou Xining? Your friend is here? Should I go upstairs and avoid them?"
Ran Xiangsi had an instinctive aversion to Lou Xining, not because of anything else, but because he was a psychologist.
Those who study psychology are somewhat scary because no matter who you are, they can’t help but analyze your personality and everything about you.
Moreover, most of their analyses are pretty accurate.
The feeling of having no privacy and being exposed to others is very unpleasant.
However, just as Ran Xiangsi had the urge to escape, Xing Chen shattered it instantly, "They’re here to see you, why avoid them?"
"See me for what?" Ran Xiangsi lamented loudly, then quickly realized, "Here to see your wife?"
"Not too dumb after all." Seeing how quickly her expression changed, Xing Chen suddenly felt like laughing.
He had brought her here, what else could they be here for? ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by novᴇl(ꜰ)ire.ɴet
"...The acting begins again." Ran Xiangsi rubbed her forehead, continuing helplessly.
She wasn’t trained in acting, why was she always caught up in this kind of thing?
Seeing Ran Xiangsi’s listless look, Xing Chen threw out a bait, "Perform well, and the villa next door can be your studio."
Anyway, this estate was large, there were many standalone villas, Xing Chen couldn’t possibly live in each one. Some were vacant, giving her one wasn’t a big deal.
Ran Xiangsi was feeling helpless, but then she heard Xing Chen’s words and instantly got interested, "Are you serious?"
"When have I ever lied?" He asked back, already getting up and heading towards the door, "If you want the studio, then come over."
