Shu Ya was taken aback for a moment; she hadn't expected this scoundrel to have such a considerate side.
Having signed his own name, Hao Jian passed the contract over, his face brimming with a playful smile:
"Well, now you're not just someone who's slept with me, you also own me."
Alright, he was just an asshole! Shu Ya thought to herself.
"Just thinking about owning a handsome guy like me probably makes you wake up laughing at night, right?" Hao Jian chuckled coldly:
"I actually guessed it a long time ago, no wonder Auntie Xiao downstairs was so angered by me but still let me come back. It was all your doing."
While saying this, Hao Jian leaned close to Shu Ya, blinked his charming big eyes, and wore a face full of playfulness:
"You must have seen me on the day of the interview and were dazzled by my fairy-like good looks, then pretended to encounter me in the bar, arranged for a few hoodlums to harass you, so you could then logically throw yourself into my arms. Little did I know, Hao Jian, with such a brilliant reputation, would be calculated against by you."
Hao Jian sighed to the heavens, his expression as shameless as it could be:
"I thought keeping a low profile would prevent me from drawing attention, but it's useless. A super handsome, incredibly dashing, and awe-inspiring man like me is like a firefly in the night, shining brightly and standing out wherever I am!"
"Hey, hey, where are you going?" Hao Jian was puzzled to see Shu Ya grabbing her bag and leaving.
Shu Ya really couldn't stand it anymore. She had seen many a jerk, but one as outrageous as Hao Jian was a first for her.
Hao Jian, so shameless! His name really hadn't been wrongly given.
Once back home, Hao Jian casually tossed his keys onto the table and then walked over to the window, gazing into the distance, where he stood for a full hour.
In this moment, there was no sleaziness, no cheap laughter, just endless depth and desolation, like an old man who had seen through the vicissitudes of life, exuding a heartbreakingly lonely air!
Moon, how are you now?
Frantic knocking interrupted Hao Jian's thoughts.
"Jerky brother, mom is calling you to come eat!" Tongtong's youthful and slightly mocking voice came from outside the door.
Hao Jian, with a face full of black lines, opened the door to see the little girl looking at him with a mischievous grin.
"You little brat, who taught you that?" Hao Jian pretended to be angry.
But this seemed to have no deterrent effect on Tongtong, who stuck out her tongue at him and then ran off.
Entering the room, Hao Jian was greeted by a delicious aroma, and then he saw Sister Lan, with her apron on, bringing dishes from the kitchen.
Sister Lan was dressed in a tight yellow sweater, which complemented her fair skin. Her curly hair was tied up in a bun, making her look proficient yet seductive.
Hao Jian licked his dry lips. Indeed, Sister Lan was extraordinary to combine these two distinct temperaments together.
Seeing Hao Jian staring stupidly at her, Sister Lan's face flushed with a hint of red, and she cast a bewitching glance at him:
"Why are you staring at me like that?"
Hao Jian, looking at the four dishes and a soup on the table, couldn't help but exclaim, "It's got color, fragrance, and taste all complete. Sister Lan is truly a good wife and mother."
"What good wife and mother, don't make fun of me."
By this time, Sister Lan was already serving the rice, feeling even more embarrassed at Hao Jian's words.
"Mom, what does it mean to be a 'virtuous wife and good mother'?" Tongtong asked with a puzzled face. Because she was short, only her little head reached the dining table, which looked very cute.
"It's none of your business, eat your food!"
Sister Lan's face flushed red as she glared at Tongtong, then quickly changed the subject, "I saw you weren't home all day, where did you go?"
"I went job hunting," Hao Jian said with a smile!
Speaking of what happened today, it really felt like a dream, who knew he would just step into a grave like that? He had promised himself he would never marry in his lifetime!
Sigh, indeed he was a supremely good man, too soft-hearted!
But in his heart, he knew that was just nonsense, if she looked like Luo Yufeng, his heart would be as hard as it could be.
"Oh? I thought you didn't need to work," Sister Lan said, her opinion of Hao Jian somewhat improved.
Ever since this guy moved in, he had been loafing around and leering at her. If it weren't for the time he stood up for her when a male guest was bullying her, she really would have thought Hao Jian was nothing but a scoundrel.
"How could that be possible, I can't just sit around and deplete my savings, can I? Sister Lan, you don't know me well, I am actually a young man of noble character and high moral standing!" Hao Jian boasted.
"You bullied a sister yesterday, a noble young man?" Tongtong suddenly interjected with a disdainful look at Hao Jian.
Sister Lan couldn't help but burst into laughter, doubling over.
Hao Jian, face blackening, complained, "Sister Lan, can't you discipline your daughter?"
"Her mouth is on her face, I really can't control it," Sister Lan replied with a mischievous smile.
Hao Jian was stupefied, having no choice but to concede.
"Excuse me, is Hao Jian living here?" Suddenly, a voice from outside asked.
All three turned their heads, only to see a beautiful girl dressed in a white striped dress with a round hat on her head, tall and statuesque as though a fairy had descended to earth, standing at the door.
Her skin was as white and smooth as fine porcelain, her perfect features more like a work of art meticulously crafted by nature, stunningly beautiful!
With a proportionate figure, she was slimmer than Sister Lan's voluptuousness, and paired with her refreshingly clean attire, instantly caught everyone's attention.
The visitor was none other than Shu Ya, who had just engaged to Hao Jian earlier today.
Seeing Shu Ya appear, Hao Jian was also stunned. How did this woman find her way here? Was she afraid he would run away?
Sigh, beauty can sometimes be a burden!
"You. How come you..." Shu Ya stared at Hao Jian, Sister Lan, and Tongtong, dumbfounded!
Hao Jian, Sister Lan, and Tongtong together looked just like a happy family of three.
"Don't get the wrong idea, I'm not his wife, I'm his landlord," Sister Lan hurriedly stood up and said with an embarrassed face, glaring fiercely at Hao Jian:
"Hao Jian, your girlfriend is here, why don't you introduce us!"
"She's not my girlfriend!" Hao Jian said defiantly, a person has to breathe even when being hanged, right? Can't you let me enjoy a few last days before entering the grave and not press so hard?
"This..." Sister Lan was somewhat at a loss, if she's not the girlfriend, then what could she be?
Upon hearing this, a cold smile also appeared on Shu Ya's face, "I'm not his girlfriend, I'm his fiancée!"
