He turned his face to look at the roadside, and Xu Moran, driven by curiosity, followed his gaze.
She saw a bright red Audi parked by the roadside, but she couldn't tell which model it was because it was backlit.
"Your phone!" Xu Moran heard himself grit his teeth. "Was it given to you by that woman?!"
Although she didn't seem angry yet, her tone was already very unfriendly. She was angry that Xu Ye took other people's things so casually, and even angrier at that woman, who had nothing better to do than drive around in her Audi, flirting with handsome guys.
Ultimately, the reason this problem arose is because Xu Ye is too handsome and too likable.
In today's increasingly open society, where people are more accepting of new things, someone like Xu Ye, who possesses an inherently likable charm, is very likely to attract not only women but also men.
There's a saying that's often on people's lips these days: "Men and women are for the sake of offspring, but men and men are for true love."
Whether Xu Moran is inherently conservative or simply lacks a strong sense of keeping up with the times, she completely disagrees with the statement above.
As the cleaning lady at the police station said, God gave us such a wonderful stick, why did we have to make it a troublemaker?
Xu Moran could never utter such vulgar yet reasonable words in her entire life, but she truly did not approve of certain things between people of the same sex.
Xu Ye must have sensed Xu Moran's attempt to project a strong anger, because the hand that was gripping her arm moved down and instead gripped her hand.
When he firmly grasped Xu Moran's hand in his palm, he answered the question she had just asked him, "Ranran, you misunderstood. Although that woman gave me the phone, she didn't give it to me as a gift. It was something I earned through my own labor."
"Earnings from labor?" Xu Moran heard his own voice rise. "What labor did you give her?"
I have to say, during my morning at work today, I heard that the old man who guards the police station, Grandpa Wang, was almost molested. In order to get Zheng Heping out of the police station, Zheng Heping's mother insisted that the butcher husband, one of Zheng Heping's subordinates, had attempted to rape her. Her imagination ran wild and she started to have all sorts of wild thoughts.
Half an hour ago...
"Handsome guy." The rich woman driving the red Audi saw Xu Ye standing by the roadside hailing a taxi, so she slammed on the gas and braked abruptly. She rolled down the window, stuck her head out, and took off her pretentious sunglasses. "Where are you going? I'll give you a ride."
Xu Ye was initially wary and refused to get in the car, continuing to stand by the roadside waiting for a taxi.
After waiting for several more minutes, I still couldn't hail a taxi.
Facing Xu Ye, the wealthy woman showed unprecedented patience. She got out of the car, walked up to Xu Ye, and as she opened the passenger door on the side closest to him, she said to him, "It's hard to get a taxi here. I see you're in a hurry, so why don't you get in the car and I'll give you a ride."
Perhaps because he saw the interior of the car, and because he had indeed waited for a long time on the roadside without being able to flag down a car, Xu Ye did not hesitate any longer and stepped into the red Audi.
The rich woman was quite experienced in flirting with handsome men. When Xu Ye asked her what time it was, she immediately noticed that Xu Ye didn't have a phone.
"Handsome guy." Once she figured out what Xu Ye was lacking, she immediately used that as bait to lure him in, "If you're willing to sleep with me, I'll buy you a phone."
Given Xu Ye's personality, he would definitely refuse at first, but no matter what he did, he couldn't open the car door that the rich woman had locked from the inside. So he could only negotiate with her, "If it's really just about sleeping together, you can buy me a cell phone."
The rich woman let out a maniacal laugh, "If you don't believe me, I'll go buy you a phone right now."
As for Xu Ye, he put in his work shortly after getting the phone, in the car.
That's why he claimed that the brand-new iPhone 7 Plus in his hand was the result of his hard work.
"Ranran, Ranran..." Just as her imagination was running wild and she was continuing to fabricate the story of Xu Ye being forced into labor and being exploited, her calls, filled with concern, reached her ears.
Xu Ye's deep and clear voice reached her ears, snapping her back to reality. She shook her head forcefully, forcing herself to stop her wild thoughts.
Without realizing it, when it comes to important matters concerning Xu Ye, she would lose her composure and become disorganized.
"Tell me now." Xu Moran narrowed his eyes, staring dangerously at Xu Ye's face. "What labor did you put in to get an apple that someone would have to sell a kidney for?"
Xu Ye met Xu Moran's questioning gaze, his face filled with nothing but innocence. Clearly, he used his innocent expression to tell Xu Moran that whatever she was thinking, she had misunderstood.
"Ranran." Even when the atmosphere was so tense it felt like it was about to explode, Xu Ye still had the mind to tidy up the stray hairs that were almost in front of Xu Moran's eyes.
The way he tidied Xu Moran's stray hair was as gentle as his voice. "You misunderstood. I only agreed to wash her car."
In other words, the phone was what he got for washing the rich woman's car.
Xu Moran remained skeptical, "How many times would you have to wash her car for an iPhone 7 Plus?"
When Xu Moran asked this question, Xu Ye tilted his head and thought about it carefully. Then he spread his fingers on his free hand and placed it in front of Xu Moran. "Ranran, the car needs to be washed five times in total."
"I understand," Xu Moran replied. "Did you choose this phone?"
Just as Xu Ye was about to answer Xu Moran's question, Xu Moran lifted her foot and strode forward with an air of dominance.
Her target wasn't the Western restaurant where she wanted to eat, but the woman leaning against the red Audi. From a distance, she looked like a wealthy middle-aged woman, but upon closer inspection, she realized she was definitely a young woman under thirty.
