After her bath, Tang Xinwan exuded a faint fragrance, and her skin, as white and smooth as milk, made some beasts secretly swallow.
“Who do you know in the capital?” Tang Xinwan pouted, not believing him at all.
Seeing that he didn’t speak, she quickly noticed someone’s gaze fixed on her, and immediately reacted, blushing and saying angrily, “What are you staring at with those shifty eyes? Close your eyes!” Sudan Novel Network
Tang Xinwan had just finished bathing and was only wrapped in a bath towel, with most of her skin exposed. She suddenly remembered that there was a man in the room, and her pretty face instantly flushed like rouge.
Seeing her rush back to her room to change, her alluring figure was simply… Ye Cangtian swallowed, “After all, we’re engaged, so don’t be so distant, right?”
“Bang!”
“So stingy!” Ye Cangtian muttered with lingering interest.
It had to be said that his fiancée was an absolute stunner, both in looks and figure. It was just that she had always been too conservative, and this was the first time he had seen such a seductive scene.
Unlike Xu Weiwei, he had seen every part of her the first time they stayed in a hotel together.
Cough cough, of course, this matter should be buried in his heart. It must not be known by Xu Weiwei, otherwise, given her temper, she would definitely go berserk.
Tang Xinwan quickly changed into another set of clothes and said while wiping her hair with a towel, “By the way, I just called Xiao Ya and asked about the company’s situation. Xiao Ya said someone came to see you yesterday, and they seemed to be foreigners.”
Ye Cangtian was startled and asked calmly, “Foreigners? Male or female?”
“I didn’t ask! Xiao Ya said a motorcade arrived, and they should be foreigners of some status.”
Tang Xinwan shook her head and then looked at him strangely, “When did you get to know foreigners?”
When Ye Cangtian heard ‘a motorcade arrived,’ he felt terrible. It seemed that the Saudi royal woman had found him. Fortunately, he had left early, otherwise, he would have run into her a day later.
These women were truly persistent!
Before, Gu Yue had pursued him for a year, even chasing him all the way to China.
Now, another woman had come to find him in person!
Being too outstanding as a man was indeed a troublesome matter! Ye Cangtian sighed inwardly.
“I’m asking you, why are you spacing out?” Tang Xinwan frowned.
“Oh, didn’t I tell you before? I lived abroad most of the time, so it’s normal for me to know some foreign friends, right?”
Ye Cangtian concealed his embarrassment and explained. Seeing that she still had something to ask, he quickly changed the subject, “Are there any problems with the company these two days?”
Tang Xinwan’s attention was indeed diverted. She nodded, “No problems. Although Xiao Ya doesn’t have much work experience, she’s quite talented. She’s worthy of being a top student in financial management.”
With two assistants now, Tang Xinwan was relatively more relaxed. Even if some matters required her personal attention, she could work remotely from Kyoto using her computer.
After they chatted casually for a while, Tang Xinwan, with her hair dried, returned to her room to sleep.
She had been busy all day outside, visiting old friends of the Tang family in various places in the capital, and was exhausted.
Ye Cangtian didn’t rush to sleep. He lit a cigarette in the living room.
The one from Saudi Arabia had indeed come to China. He wondered if she would leave after failing to find him.
To be safe, he should trick Tang Xinwan into staying in Kyoto for a while longer!
Since the Saudi one was here, what about Qiangwei?
Given her personality, once she knew he was in China, she would definitely sneak into China to find him.
Thinking of this, Ye Cangtian called Dushe.
“Boss!”
“Where is Qiangwei?”
“I was just about to report this to you, Boss. Qiangwei has been missing for two days!”
“I know!”
Ye Cangtian hung up and sighed.
Disappearing at this critical juncture, she must have secretly come to China, and with her abilities, she would surely find her way to Kyoto soon.
This was a headache!
He hoped everything would remain peaceful!
…
The next day!
Tang Xinwan brought Ye Cangtian to the family compound again. Because the old friend of the Tang family they were supposed to visit yesterday was not in, they had arranged to visit him today.
It was said that this old friend of the Tang family was a retired soldier. Tang Xinwan recalled that this uncle had a good relationship with her parents when she was a child.
Ye Cangtian found it a bit strange. Could his in-laws have been soldiers?
He didn’t go with them for the visit but wandered around the family compound.
The entire family compound consisted of old houses and ordinary residences, some of which were siheyuan (courtyard houses). Although these houses were old, in today’s Kyoto where every inch of land was precious, any courtyard was worth a fortune.
Of course, it wasn’t as simple as having money to live in such a place.
“Yang Li seems to be living in one of these places, right? I didn’t expect this guy to be a second-generation heir, no wonder he’s got that arrogant air of looking down on everyone!”
The meaning of ‘second-generation heir’ here did not refer to a rich second-generation, but rather that his ancestors were related to the military.
Ye Cangtian was just curious how Xu Weiwei knew Yang Li. Could she also be from Kyoto?
He had to ask when he got back to Yangzhou. Perhaps Xu Weiwei was also a second-generation heir, and they grew up together in the family compound, childhood sweethearts, only for her to fall for Ye Cangtian after moving away?
I’m so smart!
Ye Cangtian smoked and walked to the end of the family compound.
There was a siheyuan that was somewhat unique. It was located at the end and was slightly set apart from other residential houses, making it stand out.
Of course, this siheyuan was no different from ordinary courtyards. It still had an old courtyard gate, which, when opened, revealed a clean courtyard inside, with a grape trellis built in the center.
Under the grape trellis sat a spirited old man, drinking tea and fiddling with a chessboard by himself, looking quite leisurely.
To own a siheyuan in such a place, he must have held a considerable position in the military in the past. Ye Cangtian glanced at it twice and turned to leave without disturbing him.
“Young friend, why don’t you come in and sit for a while?” A voice suddenly came from inside the courtyard.
“Me?”
Ye Cangtian looked into the courtyard and saw the old man under the grape trellis nodding with a smile, which surprised him.
However, after thinking about it, he walked in. After all, in the sweltering heat, wandering outside was also a torment.
The entire courtyard was simply furnished. Besides the grape trellis, there were some flowers and plants in the yard. More importantly, the entire courtyard was very clean, giving people a comfortable feeling when standing inside.
“Sir, your retirement environment is quite good!”
Ye Cangtian said with a smile, casually picked a bunch of grapes from the trellis, and then sat on a stone stool opposite the old man to taste one.
These grapes were delicious, and they were seedless.
