"Your beloved man has made it home safely. If I hear you say you’re ’bad luck for husbands’ again, watch out for an unkind husband."
After washing up and lying in bed, Ye Huan sent a VX to Zhang Huimin with a cheerful smile.
The cheerful expression lasted only a short while.
Soon, his face darkened.
"VX friend Zhong Qianqian has sent you a video."
Ye Huan’s face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
Since adding Zhong Qianqian on VX, she had sent no fewer than twenty revealing selfies. Now she’s sending an even more revealing video. It’s outrageous!
Ye Huan didn’t even want to look, silently opened her profile, clicked block, turned off the phone, and went to sleep, all in one go.
At the same time, Zhang Huimin sat on the bed with her hands wrapped around her knees, looking worried.
The sound of a VX message came, and she hurriedly opened it. Seeing it, she let out a long sigh of relief.
After a bit of hesitation, she didn’t reply to the message. Instead, she lay down and slowly drifted off to sleep.
In her dreams, a beautiful sweet curve appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Early the next morning, Ye Huan woke up at dawn, freshened up briefly, and went to the mall to buy two composite metal water pipes, successfully replacing the burst pipes on the second floor of the villa, finally resolving one annoying issue.
Exhaling a long breath, Ye Huan wiped the sweat off his forehead. Seeing it was already eight o’clock, he rode a shared bike towards Zhang Huimin’s home on Golden Sand Street.
"No need, buying a house is too expensive." Zhang Huimin shrank under the covers, glaring at Ye Huan with discontent.
"I don’t mind the money."
"Besides, when I was coming over, those old men and women were already pointing fingers at me, let alone you. Their words would definitely be harsher!"
"And, aren’t you afraid I’ll get jealous if you keep living in the house left by that scoundrel?" Ye Huan raised an eyebrow, pretending to be angry.
"Then go ahead and be jealous. I’ll be happy to see you like that." Zhang Huimin’s cheeks flushed as she hummed and turned her head away.
Ye Huan gave a meaningful look, suddenly pulling the covers off Zhang Huimin and tickling her slender waist.
Zhang Huimin laughed until she almost couldn’t breathe. After several minutes, she couldn’t take it anymore and raised the white flag, admitting her "mistake" wholeheartedly!
Ye Huan looked smug, "Glad you realize it. Get up quickly, and let’s go house hunting!"
Zhang Huimin pulled the quilt over herself, huffing, and pointed to the door, "Then get out, I’m going to get dressed."
"Do I have to go out..." Ye Huan raised his eyebrows.
The request was denied, and Zhang Huimin shot several annoyed looks at Ye Huan, forcing him out of the room.
Ye Huan sat on the sofa, crossed his legs with dissatisfaction.
What kind of world is this!
I’m just appreciating the change of clothes, it’s not like I’ll do anything. What’s there to worry about?
Three minutes later, Zhang Huimin came out of the room and went straight to the bathroom to freshen up.
Ye Huan’s eyes were glued.
Zhang Huimin was wearing a light yellow dress, her jet-black hair tied up in a high ponytail. Below her bright, phoenix-like eyes were two touches of light pink. Her features were tall and delicate. Her long, snow-white legs were exposed to the air, accentuating her perfect figure from bottom to top.
Before, Zhang Huimin always had a knowledgeable air about her.
Now, she had matured, adding a mature aura on top of her previous one.
The knowledgeable yet mature aura, combined with her student-like outfit, formed a huge contrast but made her even more charming!
"What are you staring at!" Zhang Huimin said crossly, secretly pleased, sweetly knowing Ye Huan was stunned by her.
Ye Huan snapped back to reality and noticed Zhang Huimin had already finished freshening up and had her bag ready.
He couldn’t help it, gave her a quick peck on her rosy lips, then hugged her, saying tenderly, "Miss Zhang, you look so beautiful today."
"Beautiful today? Wasn’t I beautiful before?" Zhang Huimin feigned annoyance but felt smug inside.
"You were always beautiful, but after conquering you yesterday, you’re even more beautiful, Miss Zhang, you must know that, right?" Ye Huan’s mouth curled into a smirk, feeling pleased with his "handiwork."
Zhang Huimin scolded shyly, heading out the door.
Despite her words, she knew that after yesterday, her body indeed changed a lot; her skin was much rosier, and her whole spirit was renewed. Describing it as "more beautiful" was indeed accurate.
Ye Huan chuckled and followed her.
The two stopped downstairs.
"Su Zhiqiang, I’ve had enough!"
"I can’t stand squeezing into this fifteen square meter dump with you every day. I’m going nuts!"
"I’m either listening to rats at night or watching cockroaches crawl, and you don’t think about making a change?"
On the street, a good-looking woman was yelling at a man who had an embarrassed look.
A crowd gathered around to watch.
Ye Huan and Zhang Huimin were naturally among them.
They both knew the embarrassed man!
Zhang Huimin softly asked, "Xiao Ye, isn’t that Su Zhiqiang from your security team?"
"Yeah, I know, let’s just see what happens." Ye Huan squinted his eyes; not only did he know Su Zhiqiang, but he also recognized the woman confronting him!
This was the same woman, who, after completing a leukemia surgery funded by Su Zhiqiang’s 500,000 yuan, not only showed no gratitude but also teamed up with Zhao Yongle to viciously insult Su Zhiqiang - Zhang Ruya!
Ye Huan couldn’t figure out why these two were entangled again and decided to wait and see.
"Ruya, I... I’m really trying hard." Su Zhiqiang grabbed Zhang Ruya’s hand and pleaded, "Let’s go back, okay? The neighbors are all watching, let’s not do this."
"Trying hard?" Zhang Ruya scoffed, showing no intention of stopping. She shook off Su Zhiqiang’s hand and spat disdainfully, "Su Zhiqiang, do you expect to buy me a house in Celestial Sea with your hard-earned 3,000 yuan salary a month? The average house price in Celestial Sea is already 12,000 yuan per square meter, and you’d have to save four months without eating or drinking to afford one square meter!"
"Give me some time. After a few years, I can definitely get us a cozy little nest." Su Zhiqiang laughed awkwardly, wishing he could find a hole to hide in from the strange looks around him.
"Su Zhiqiang, what I, Zhang Ruya, want is not a cozy little nest but a luxurious villa, do you understand?"
