Looking at the girl’s slightly flushed face, Xu Wendong couldn’t help but say, "It’s just a simple meal. Why put so much thought into it?"
After Nie Xiaoyu left the villa, she definitely went to the market to buy these chili peppers touched by frost.
"This is your first time at my place. Shouldn’t I show some hospitality?" Nie Xiaoyu flashed a sweet smile, "I have beer and red wine at home. Which one would you like?"
Xu Wendong: "Beer, please."
Nie Xiaoyu nodded, then found a few bottles of beer. After both shared a drink, Xu Wendong began to savor Nie Xiaoyu’s cooking.
"It has the taste!" After tasting, Xu Wendong gave a thumbs-up to Nie Xiaoyu’s cooking. He also realized that the dishes he had before weren’t her handiwork.
But to be honest, this taste was very close to what he remembered from back then.
Nie Xiaoyu smiled, "If you like it, feel free to come by anytime. I’ll cook for you."
Xu Wendong: "If you put it that way, I won’t be reserved!"
Nie Xiaoyu blushed slightly, "There’s no need for reservations between us." She said, placing a piece of pork belly in front of Xu Wendong.
The two chatted while eating, and the atmosphere was very pleasant.
"I’ll get the door!" Nie Xiaoyu stood up and went to the door. When she opened it, a middle-aged man in his thirties, holding flowers, cheerfully said, "Xiaoyu, I just came from the florist and happened to see this bouquet of flowers. I felt they suit you, so I bought them. I hope you’ll like them!"
Nie Xiaoyu, a bit at a loss, still said, "Brother Wang, thank you for your kindness, but I’m allergic to flowers!"
Nie Xiaoyu’s neighbor from downstairs.
He worked in an institution and, seeing that Nie Xiaoyu lived alone, had fantasies about her.
"Ah, you’re allergic to flowers? Sorry, I didn’t know!" Wang Chengjun said apologetically, then glanced inside. Seeing a stranger, he couldn’t help but ask, "A relative visiting?"
Without waiting for an answer, he squeezed in and addressed Xu Wendong, "Hello, I’m Wang Chengjun, Xiaoyu’s neighbor downstairs. I work at the bank."
Xu Wendong frowned, "Mr. Wang, did Xiaoyu invite you in?"
"Don’t you know it’s impolite to enter someone’s home without permission?"
Xu Wendong could tell Nie Xiaoyu had no favorable feelings for this man.
That’s why he showed no mercy.
Wang Chengjun didn’t expect Xu Wendong to say that, showing a hint of anger, "I’m Xiaoyu’s neighbor. I thought you’re a relative, so I came to greet you and offer a drink, but I didn’t expect you to be so ungrateful!"
"You call me impolite, but are you polite?"
Xu Wendong smiled playfully, "Sorry, I’m not Xiaoyu’s relative. I’m her boyfriend!"
"And, Xiaoyu isn’t allergic to pollen, she’s just allergic to you!"
Hearing Xu Wendong say this, Nie Xiaoyu’s face turned a deep red. She didn’t expect Xu Wendong to claim he was her boyfriend.
Wang Chengjun’s face was full of rage. If looks could kill, Xu Wendong would have been sliced to pieces by now.
He didn’t expect Nie Xiaoyu to have a boyfriend.
Had he known, he wouldn’t have had thoughts about the single Nie Xiaoyu.
Taking a deep breath, he forced a weary smile and said, "A guy like you doesn’t deserve Xiaoyu. You don’t fit to be Xiaoyu’s boyfriend!"
Nie Xiaoyu’s face turned frosty, pointing towards the door, "Mr. Wang, please respect my boyfriend and leave my home!"
Although she and Xu Wendong had a purely platonic friendship, she would never allow anyone to insult Xu Wendong, especially in her own home.
"Xiaoyu, I’m doing this for your good." Wang Chengjun hurried, "I know this guy looks young and girls like that, but men like him are unreliable."
"They easily cheat on you. If you become his girlfriend, you’ll definitely get hurt."
"Not just financially deceived, but emotionally too."
"Listen to my advice and break up with him quickly. You should find a stable, mature man to rely on for life."
Xu Wendong felt awkward.
Just because I’m handsome, you accuse me of fooling around outside?
I won’t argue with you on that.
You do have a keen eye!
Nie Xiaoyu angrily looked at Wang Chengjun, "Mr. Wang, I’ve known Xu Wendong for years. I know what kind of person he is better than you. Please don’t judge others randomly."
Wang Chengjun quickly said, "Xiaoyu, I’m really thinking of you. Let’s not talk about other things, just his job. Does he have one?"
"Does he have a car?"
"He can’t even provide these basic securities for you, so what do you see in him?"
Nie Xiaoyu: "He’s a doctor."
"That pickup downstairs belongs to him."
"Pickup?" Wang Chengjun was full of curiosity, then a smirk appeared on his lips, "How much can a broken pickup be worth? A second-hand perhaps a few thousand bucks!"
Nie Xiaoyu smiled, "You should look out the window to see how much that car is worth!"
Wang Chengjun curiously walked to the balcony and looked down from the window. The scene made him gasp, "The pickup you mentioned, wouldn’t it be that G-Wagon?"
Nie Xiaoyu replied, "Yes, that’s it!"
Wang Chengjun was stunned for a moment, then laughed and shook his head, "Xiaoyu, do you think I’ll believe you? That car downstairs is a luxury Mercedes worth millions. It’s rare even in our county, scarce in the whole country."
"If he’s indeed your boyfriend, why would you live cramped in this two-bedroom?"
"If that car is his, I’ll streak outside right now!"
Xu Wendong laughingly walked to the balcony, took out the car key, and pressed the unlock button.
The car’s headlights lit up.
He looked at the stunned expression on Wang Chengjun’s face and smiled teasingly, "Mr. Wang, at this time of year streaking would get you a cold, but I can buy you some cold medicine!"
Wang Chengjun stood dumbfounded, with tumultuous waves in his heart.
Who on earth is this guy?
How could he drive such a luxurious car worth millions?
Before he could react, Xu Wendong’s voice rang out again, "You said earlier I don’t have a house, right? You’re correct. Apart from a villa, I don’t have a house."
Wang Chengjun snapped out of his shock, muttering an excuse and fled. Though displeased with Xu Wendong, he wasn’t foolish.
Anyone who could afford such a car wasn’t someone he could mess with.
If he angered him, he’d definitely pay a heavy price.
After Wang Chengjun left, Nie Xiaoyu nervously looked at Xu Wendong, "Can I really be your girlfriend?"
