Eight o'clock in the evening!
Xu Weiwei dragged her exhausted body home from work!
She wasn't in a good mood today. Perhaps it was because she had just taken on a big case and had no leads, making her a bit restless.
Or perhaps it was because she had encountered that detestable guy during the day, which had made her utterly depressed the entire day.
Upon returning home, she took a comfortable hot bath and then came out onto the balcony, her hair still wet, to hang the freshly washed intimate apparel.
Suddenly, her nose twitched, and she couldn't help but frown, murmuring, "Where's that smell of smoke coming from?"
And just then, an annoying voice rang out, "Good evening, beautiful police officer!"
Xu Weiwei looked up and immediately caught sight of a detestable figure on the balcony next to her, peering over at her.
The guy had a cigarette in his mouth, looked utterly roguish, and had a bright smile on his face.
It was none other than Ye Cangtian, that great scoundrel!
Xu Weiwei had almost forgotten that they were neighbors! Not only that, but they lived opposite each other, with adjoining balconies, so they were incredibly close.
"You, when did you appear!"
"I've been here all along. Seeing you so diligently drying your clothes, I didn't have the heart to disturb you!"
On the balcony, Ye Cangtian exhaled a smoke ring, winked, and said with a smile, "See how fated we are? The moon is so round tonight, why don't we admire it together?"
"Fated my foot! Who would want to admire the moon with you!" Xu Weiwei couldn't help but curse through gritted teeth.
She glared fiercely at Ye Cangtian, only then realizing that the guy was shirtless and not wearing any clothes. Her pretty face instantly flushed, and she turned to walk towards the bedroom.
As soon as she entered the bedroom, she suddenly remembered something and quickly ran back to the balcony to retrieve the intimate apparel she had just hung out. With a pervert living next door, she didn't want her privacy exposed.
"Beautiful police officer, feel free to drop by anytime!"
"..." Xu Weiwei returned to her bedroom angrily, gnashing her teeth.
This scoundrel, he was going to make her explode with anger!
What kind of bad luck was this! How could I have become neighbors with this scoundrel? Xu Weiwei clenched her fists, unable to vent her immense resentment!
Hmph! Just don't let me catch you doing anything, otherwise, I definitely won't let this guy off the hook!
On the neighboring balcony!
Ye Cangtian smiled brightly. What was that thing the girl was holding just now? It looked pink, tsk! Does she have a mature and sexy body but a maiden's heart?
He blew out a smoke ring, his gaze shifting to another direction, his smile gradually turning sharp.
"It seems a master has set their sights on me!" Ye Cangtian raised an eyebrow.
He could sense that from the top of a residential building somewhere, a gaze was fixed on him. And from the not-weak killing intent, he could tell that this person was definitely a master.
The news of his arrival in China was known to almost no one, so it shouldn't be his enemies!
Could it be that He Chuan sent someone? That's unlikely, as it's hard to find a master of this caliber in a small place like Yangzhou.
"Heh, no matter who you are, I believe you'll eventually reveal yourself!"
Ye Cangtian wasn't bothered. If he were so easily killed, the major powers abroad wouldn't have put a bounty of one billion US dollars on his head.
And even so, isn't he still living well? Aren't those big shots who want him dead constantly in a state of distress?
Meanwhile!
On the rooftop of a residential building hundreds of meters away, a black figure seemed to have merged with the night!
This figure was somewhat slender but exuded a cold aura, holding a sharp sword that glinted coldly under the moonlight.
"Ye Cangtian! You really came to China! I said I would kill you."
For a whole year, she had been searching for Ye Cangtian's whereabouts. Six months ago, she finally got news, but the target was in the world's most famous prison, Ax Prison.
Because the prison was filled with male inmates and had tight security, she had desperately been unable to find an opportunity to strike.
Unexpectedly, half a year later, she received news that Ye Cangtian was heading to China, so she came!
...
Weekend!
This was the day Ye Cangtian was supposed to meet the woman's parents, so he waited outside the residential complex early in the morning.
Before long, Tang Xinwan drove over.
As soon as she got in the car, Tang Xinwan frowned and couldn't help but say, "You're going to the Tang family's old residence dressed like this?"
Ye Cangtian was wearing casual clothes today. Although he wasn't wearing flip-flops and baggy shorts, he still looked somewhat roguish.
"Oh, right, when meeting parents, I should bring a gift. What do our parents like?" Ye Cangtian asked with a smile.
"..."
Hearing the words 'our parents' from the other person, Tang Xinwan couldn't help but frown. She took a deep breath, shook her head, and said, "I mean, you're going to the Tang family's old residence dressed like this to meet those people?"
"Also, forget about the meeting gift, because... my parents have been missing for a long time!"
After Tang Xinwan finished speaking, her eyes dimmed. After her parents went missing, she had shouldered everything alone. At such a young age, she had become a rising star in the business world, even being interviewed by the media multiple times.
But behind the glitz and glamour, only she herself could understand the hardships involved.
Without waiting for Ye Cangtian to ask, Tang Xinwan took a breath and continued, "Enough about that, let's go!"
A moment later!
The car stopped in front of a shopping mall, and Tang Xinwan took Ye Cangtian to a luxury men's clothing store.
Ye Cangtian chuckled sheepishly, "Are you planning to buy me clothes? Tsk, it seems I'm destined to be a kept man!"
The beautiful sales assistant beside them couldn't help but cover her mouth and giggle. Tang Xinwan was also speechless. This guy refused fifty million yuan, and while you could say he had integrity, he seemed to take pride in being a kept man!
She put on a cold expression, picked out an outfit, and handed it over.
"Go try it on!"
"Sure thing!" Ye Cangtian didn't hesitate, taking the clothes to the fitting room.
A moment later, Ye Cangtian walked out of the fitting room. The moment Tang Xinwan saw him, her eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but have a sense of déjà vu.
The guy looked like a completely different person in this new outfit!
If his previous attire gave off a roguish, idle, and improper impression, then after changing into this outfit, he seemed to exude an air of handsomeness combined with mature stability.
"Madam, your husband is a natural clothes hanger. These clothes look even better on him than on those celebrity male models!" the beautiful sales assistant praised.
Ye Cangtian smiled brilliantly and couldn't help but give her a thumbs-up, "Beautiful lady, you have excellent taste!"
"Shut up!" Tang Xinwan couldn't help but frown. The guy had quite a distinguished aura just a moment ago, but the moment he spoke, he gave off that improper feeling again.
She looked at the sales assistant and said, "I'll take this set! Please charge it."
The entire outfit cost over a hundred thousand yuan, and Tang Xinwan didn't even bat an eye!
Although her relationship with Ye Cangtian had a bit of an acting element to it, at least she couldn't let her family see through it, otherwise, those people in the family would certainly not believe her.
Back in the car, Tang Xinwan further warned, "When we get to the Tang family's old residence later, try not to talk much, don't reveal any flaws!"
Ye Cangtian asked suspiciously, "Our engagement is real, the engagement banquet is real, it's not an act, so what flaws would there be to reveal?"
Tang Xinwan was speechless, but what the other party said wasn't entirely unreasonable. Still, she frowned and said coldly, "Anyway, just keep quiet!"
"..."
Ye Cangtian looked sheepish. Keep quiet, fine!
