Qin Xue changed into her boyfriend's clothes and wrapped herself up tightly.
Back to the apartment I rented with Fu Yu.
In this life, it was Fu Yu who saved Cosimo.
Even if she doesn't catch Cosimo's eye.
But she did save Cosimo's life, so Cosimo should repay her kindness, both morally and logically.
Aren't people in the underworld most concerned with loyalty and righteousness?
However, given Fu Yu's nature of not wanting to trouble others, she would definitely not accept money or real estate directly from Cosimo.
She would probably tremble with fear even if she were in the same space as Cosimo.
Qin Xue gripped her bag tightly. If she could persuade Fu Yu to stick to Cosimo, Cosimo would be focused on repaying her kindness and wouldn't have time to look for her, right?
With Cosimo's physique and looks, which are even better than those of top male models, Fu Yu was definitely smitten at first sight.
Otherwise, how could a little girl who screams for half a day at the sight of a cockroach dare to bring a strange man covered in injuries home?
Qin Xue felt a mix of emotions: relief at the prospect of regaining her freedom, smugness at the thought of using Fu Yu, and disdain for Fu Yu's overestimation of his abilities.
Not every woman who saves Cosimo will become his canary.
Qin Xue walked to the apartment door and found it ajar, with no one in the living room.
"Ayu?"
Qin Xue knocked on Fu Yu's private room door.
No one responded.
Who are you looking for?
The landlady approached suspiciously, carrying a baguette. Only when she saw Qin Xue take off her sunglasses, revealing her stunning face, did a faint smile appear on her lips.
"Qin Xue, it's you! I didn't recognize you dressed like this."
"Fu Yu has already moved out. You were her roommate, didn't she tell you?"
"Move away?"
Qin Xue was surprised when she pushed open the door to Fu Yu's private room. Apart from the furniture that had been there when she moved in, there was not a single personal item belonging to Fu Yu.
The notes that were usually neatly stacked on the bookshelf are also gone.
The lace curtains that the landlady lent her had been taken down, washed, folded, and placed by the bed, emitting the scent of the laundry detergent that Fu Yu usually used.
Why did she move away?
Could it be that they were afraid of offending someone as important as Cosimo, so they fled overnight?
The landlady sighed, "I don't know either. That kid moved out last night and didn't even ask for the deposit back..."
"My rent is the cheapest in Paris. If she can't even afford my place, then she might not..."
The landlady naturally knew that Qin Xue and Fu Yu were both students at a nearby university.
Qin Xue is lively and outgoing, often going to nightclubs and dating her boyfriend. She seems like a child who is loved and pampered.
Fu Yu was timid and introverted, and the landlady could only see her when it was time to pay the rent.
Unlike the banknotes Qin Xue always received from the bank, the cash Fu Yu gave her was always crumpled and wrinkled, clearly indicating that she had saved it up for a long time.
"Ayu is a good child. Don't let her be led astray by others."
The landlady clutched the jade pendant around her neck with worry.
May God bless her.
Under the same sky, a stretched Lincoln drove over sycamore leaves and stopped in front of a statue of the Virgin Mary.
Under the watchful eye of the statue of Mary, Fu Yu was escorted to the manor by a group of bodyguards in black.
Fu Yu recognized this as a filming location for a drama about a wealthy family's business battles. It was said to have cost hundreds of millions to build, and the owner of the mansion had never been identified, making it particularly mysterious.
Could it be Cosimo's property?
The six-meter-high crystal chandelier in the villa's lobby reflected dappled light, adding a touch of radiance to her delicate face.
"Ms. Fu, welcome to the manor."
The silver-haired butler in a tuxedo gave her a slight nod and gestured for her to walk toward the gilded elevator doors.
"Your activity area is the third floor of the main building."
The butler pushed open the carved wooden door on the third floor, and the velvet curtains swayed gently in the breeze.
The window reveals a neatly manicured rose garden, and everything in sight is in a European palace style.
From bedding to furniture.
It's as gorgeous as a medieval oil painting.
"This is your room. If you need anything, please let me know and I will meet your needs as soon as possible."
The butler handed a walkie-talkie to Fu Yu and pointed to button 1.
"Just press 1."
Fu Yu gripped her suitcase tightly. "I'm just Mr. Cosimo's assistant. Do I really need to stay here?"
Fu Yu instinctively felt that the plot was developing too fast...
She and Cosimo haven't even started dating yet, and they're already going to live together?
The system nodded knowingly.
"This is called living together first and then falling in love. It's one of the common tactics used by male protagonists in yandere novels. Next, the male protagonist will probably use a wet and seductive move."
Wet body...temptation.
Fu Yu recalled Cosimo's fair abs and scalding sweat that night.
He swallowed hard, completely lacking any backbone.
Being attracted to men is a disease; the more men you see, the better.
The butler bowed apologetically. "I'm sorry, I was just following the master's instructions. You can ask him for details."
"Owner?"
Fu Yu was shocked by this title.
"Yes, everyone here has to call Mr. Cosimo the master, because everything here belongs to him."
"Of course, you don't need to call me master."
Cosimo leaned against the stair railing, lighting a cigar; the crimson glow flickered in the twilight.
Remembering the system's reminder, Fu Yu subconsciously looked away, but couldn't help stealing glances again.
Cosimo did not show off his abs and wore a black robe that reached his calves, making him look ascetic and noble.
His grey-blue eyes scrutinized Fu Yu with a meaningful gaze.
"After all, you are my benefactor, and I should repay your kindness properly."
Cosimo pulled Fu Yu into his arms.
The neckline of the black silk robe was slightly open.
Her deep collarbones and full, firm chest were exposed.
She wasn't naked, but she was even more alluring than if she were.
Fu Yu took a deep breath, trying to ignore the mechanical voice of the system saying that the "good fortune golden finger" was loading.
"Don't get so close to me."
Fu Yu felt that Cosimo was like a wolfhound, and every time she saw him, she would hug him.
He let her rub against his scent, as if marking her.
Fu Yu brought up the affection value interface and saw that the affection value had increased by 1%. She silently suppressed the urge to push Cosimo away.
"Actually, I can live outside too. We don't need to live together."
"no."
Cosimo grabbed Fu Yu's wrist. "You're my personal assistant, you have to stay by my side 24/7."
"Besides, how could I let my savior live in such a cramped single room, take the bus to and from school, work part-time at a convenience store every day, and eat near-expired convenience store lunches and dinners?"
"You're investigating me?"
“Baby, why use such cold words? I just want to repay your life-saving grace.”
Cosimo picked up Fu Yu with one hand, carried him to his bedroom, and threw him onto the soft bed.
"I...I'm on my period today."
Fu Yu subconsciously clenched her collar.
