Before Xu Moran could even process what those words meant, a shrill, ear-piercing voice came from the other end of the phone, "Ah...you pervert!"
In the blink of an eye, Xu Ye quickly hung up the phone, preventing Pei Hang's screams from continuing to disturb the tranquility and beauty of their place.
Xu Moran was silent for a moment, then asked Xu Ye, "Should we call again and ask?"
This is probably an occupational hazard of hers as a police officer, especially a criminal investigator; when she hears someone shouting for help, she can't help but want to meddle.
What is this called? As public officials, since they are paid by taxpayers, they have the responsibility and obligation to protect the safety of the people.
Xu Ye dismissed Xu Moran's suggestion, saying, "Ranran, let me ask you a question."
Although Xu Moran didn't know what Xu Ye would ask her at this moment, she nodded and said, "Ask away."
Xu Ye pulled out a tissue and wiped his hands. "A seasoned driver with many years of experience, do you think there's a high chance he'll crash?"
Xu Moran thought for a moment and said honestly, "The possibility is very small."
Xu Ye nodded in agreement, "Ranran, since you know the chances of an experienced driver making a mistake are slim, what are you afraid of? We shouldn't worry about other people's business. If we're going to worry, we should think about it instead..."
At the crucial moment, Xiaomei started scratching his legs, trying to get his attention. She said, "Say it, say it now! Instead of thinking about my life's most important thing, hurry up and take me down to find a female dog. I want a girlfriend, I want to have lots and lots of puppies."
Where Xu Moran couldn't see, Xu Ye subtly pushed away Xiao Mei's dog paw and continued what he hadn't finished saying, "We might as well think about how to make more money and get rich."
Xu Moran was speechless for a moment. Why would Xu Ye suddenly have such thoughts? It must be because her hesitation when paying and her not-so-friendly tone made him realize that she was poor, which triggered some kind of nerve in him.
"Xu Ye." After a brief moment of silence, Xu Moran looked into Xu Ye's eyes seriously and earnestly. "Don't even think about getting rich. My current salary is enough to support you, and I've been working for three years now, so I have some savings."
The implication is that you shouldn't worry, and shouldn't have any crooked thoughts or try any dirty tricks to get rich.
The next second, a head appeared on Xu Moxin's shoulder. The owner of that head nestled on her shoulder said, "Ranran, I never knew what it felt like to be a kept man. Now I finally understand. This is what it feels like to be a kept man."
After he finished speaking, he clicked his tongue as if savoring the moment.
Xu Moran tilted her neck slightly and shifted her gaze, barely able to see Xu Ye's beautifully curved jaw. Strangely enough, a man who was so handsome didn't give off any effeminate feeling.
Looking at his exquisitely sculpted jawline, she thought of what he had just said and felt a mix of amusement and exasperation. "Then tell me, what does it feel like to be a kept man?"
Throughout history, men have had an innate sense of superiority regarding their gender. Whether they are outstanding or mediocre, they all consider it shameful to be a kept man. So why didn't Xu Ye's words carry any sense of shame?
This was a case of living off Xu Moran, and Xu Ye felt not ashamed at all, but rather honored. So, he replied to Xu Moran, "Ranran, for me, being able to live off you is a great blessing."
Xu Moran couldn't help but burst out laughing. "Really? In that case, it's my honor. Well then, in order to better improve your happiness index, I've decided to work hard to earn money so you can live off me even more."
"My Ranran is the best." Xu Ye didn't hold back at all, and used Xu Moran's words to put her on a pedestal.
"Alright." Xu Moran reached out and pushed the head on his shoulder. "We can talk about being a gigolo later. What we need to do now is eat dinner tonight, or it'll get cold."
Xu Ye agreed and gestured for Xu Moran to eat the sea urchin rice in front of her first. With a hint of pride, she told Xu Moran, "Ranran, sea urchin rice is my best dish."
Speaking of which, this was the first time Xu Moran had eaten something made by Xu Ye himself since he picked him up. With the shrimp he had already eaten, which was dipped in the sauce that Xu Ye had personally prepared, Xu Moran no longer questioned his cooking skills.
