After having lunch at a private restaurant, Yan Qiao had no intention of returning to the courtyard house.

"I recently found a property development that I like and I want to buy a house there."

The property is located within the Fifth Ring Road, not in a particularly central location.

Pei Jingzhan took out his car keys. "I'll go with you."

Yan Qiao asked, "Aren't you busy? If you have something to do, you can go back first."

During the meal, Li Qiao called him several times.

Pei Jingzhan didn't answer, but only replied briefly on his phone.

Li Qiao looked somewhat irritable.

"It's okay, I'll stay with you. Everything else has to come after you."

Yan Qiao paused in fastening her seatbelt, leaning forward: "You really didn't eat any candy today?"

Pei Jingzhan turned his head to look at her; the two were very close.

He had tasted those red lips countless times in the quiet, deserted nights.

"Would you like to try some?" His eyes were deep and unfathomable.

Yan Qiao looked up and met his gaze, her eyes clear and sharp: "Don't seduce me."

He chuckled softly, his thin lips covering hers, his fingers threading through her hair, pulling her head forward.

He captured those gorgeous red lips that kept him up all night.

Yan Qiao felt that he was more reckless than ever before.

There was no gentle lingering or probing; it was more direct than before, prying open her lips and tongue and plunging straight in, as if he wanted to devour her whole.

Yan Qiao was uncomfortable in this position, and after kissing him for a while, her neck started to ache, so she pushed him away.

Who knew that Pei Jingzhan would reach out and grab her waist, his arm strength was amazing, and he would pull her up and straddle his lap with her legs spread apart.

The steering wheel was behind her, which was a bit uncomfortable, but he covered it with his hand.

In this position, Yan Qiao's head was almost touching the roof of the car.

Pei Jingzhan lowered the seat again to make sure she wouldn't bump her head.

Then, with a slightly hurried look, she raised her head, her long, deep eyes filled with a seductive desire.

"Come quietly."

He pushed Yan Qiao's hand, making her hook her arms around his neck.

Yan Qiao's lips were a vibrant red, and she was slightly out of breath.

She raised her hand to cover his eyes, her voice alluring: "Don't look at me."

He looks like a male fox spirit.

Pei Jingzhan chuckled softly, his chest trembling.

He obeyed whatever Yan Qiao said.

"Fine, I won't look at you."

Yan Qiao slowly leaned down, and just as her lips touched his, he lifted her chin, deepening the kiss.

Unlike his usual restraint, he started to get restless as they kissed.

Summer clothes are already light, not to mention she was wearing a dress that revealed most of her flawless white back.

His fingertips kneaded every inch of her jade-like back, causing the girl in his arms to tremble sensitively.

Fortunately, both parties remained rational and, considering the inappropriate occasion, did not cross the line.

Yan Qiao felt her lips were numb and pushed him away somewhat unhappily.

His lips were rather thin, but now they had a touch of allure, adding a hint of sexiness.

"I still need to buy a house!"

Pei Jingzhan chuckled and gently rubbed her lips a few times with his fingertips.

Even though they're so close, they haven't forgotten about buying a house.

He straightened Yan Qiao's dress and helped her restyle her hair.

"Let's go, I'll take you to buy a house."

The two drove to the sales office.

Before getting out of the car, Yan Qiao handed him a mask.

"Put it on."

Pei Jingzhan: "...I'm ashamed to be seen by others?"

Yan glanced at him and said, "It's just that you're too flashy."

Who wouldn't recognize this face?

She wants to wear it too; she now has over 20 million followers.

Pei Jingzhan listened to her words, put on a mask, and got out of the car.

The two appeared in the hall, and soon a girl approached them with a smile.

"Hello, sir/madam, would you like to view the apartment?"

Before Yan Qiao could speak, the girl in front of her was pushed aside and replaced by a man.

"Ah Yue, go pour tea for the customers over there. I'll take care of things."

Then, he smiled and said, "What is your surname, sir? Are you here to see the apartment with your girlfriend? I am the manager here, my surname is Wang. Let me introduce you both today."

Pei Jingzhan said calmly, "She'll buy it."

Manager Wang gave a knowing smile. "What is your surname, Miss?"

"My surname is Yan." Yan Qiao's expression was somewhat indifferent.

It's just that they're wearing masks, so it's not very noticeable.

Manager Wang led them to the side, gave them two brochures, and introduced the apartment layouts.

Besides the large apartments, there is also a villa area here.

However, the villa is not a ready-built house, and it will take some time before it can be handed over.

Yan Qiao had already done her research beforehand and decided to come here because she thought the price was reasonable, the surrounding facilities were good, and it had good development prospects.

She initially preferred a large apartment of over 200 square meters, but now that she's seen the villa area, she thinks villas are also a good option.

After learning about their situation, Manager Wang led them to sit down and served them tea.

Yan Qiao put down the brochure and said, "I'm going to the restroom."

Manager Wang immediately said solicitously, "The restroom is over there, I'll take you there."

Yan Qiao nodded, glanced at Pei Jingzhan, and then got up to leave.

After relieving herself, Yan Qiao washed her hands and came out.

Before she even came out of the restroom, she heard voices outside.

"Manager Wang, this couple looks quite wealthy. I wonder how many sets they'll buy."

Manager Wang scoffed, "One set is enough, how many sets?"

"No way, didn't they already know about the villa area?"

Manager Wang said, "Look at those two. It's obvious that some rich guy is out with his mistress, trying to woo her. These rich guys are so sweet-talking in bed, giving her whatever she wants. But when it comes to spending money, they're stingier than anyone else. They already have wives at home, and their mistresses are just for fun. They're not really going to marry them, so why spend so much money?"

He smiled dismissively, "Believe it or not, when it comes time to write the name on the deed, it'll definitely be in the man's name! This house is worth tens of millions, how could it be easily put in her name?"

"I'm telling you, you girls are all gold diggers, all talk and no action. You'd rather serve old men than give a second glance to hardworking young men. It's so much better to be a girl; all you have to do is lie in bed and you have everything..."

Yan Qiao remained expressionless and walked out with a smile.

Manager Wang immediately fell silent and changed his expression.

"Ms. Yan, would you like to learn about other apartment types? Actually, the 150-square-meter apartment is quite nice."

Yan Qiao sat down and casually flipped through the booklet.

“I had a very good impression of the girl who greeted us when we came in. What was her name again… Yue, right? Manager Wang, I’d like to have Yue come over and introduce her to us again.”

Manager Wang was taken aback. "Is there something I did wrong?"

“You did a great job, but I prefer A-Yue. Can you call her over?” Yan Qiao asked with a smile.

Manager Wang said angrily, "Miss Yan, even if you come here and say it again, you are still my customers, and the sales revenue from the house purchase will still be credited to me!"

Yan Qiao found it amusing. "The person who initially greeted me was that A Yue. You're the one who ousted her. That's malicious competition. How dare you call me your customer? Besides, is this how your company teaches you to make money off customers while badmouthing them behind their backs?"
