Mr. Xiao, can I borrow your wedding invitation?

Chapter 31 Who Made You My Favorite

Nan Wu snapped out of her daze and, seeing him extend his hand, politely stepped forward to respond, "Hello!"

To his surprise, the other person didn't hold him, but instead placed a kiss on his skin.

Nan Wu was caught off guard and didn't even have time to slap him.

The other person acted as if nothing had happened, saying, "Not only is Miss Nan's house beautiful, but I didn't expect her to be so beautiful too!"

Nan Wu forced a smile, her good mood completely ruined by his earlier actions. "Thank you for the compliment, sir!"

"My name is Du Lin!"

"Okay, Mr. Du, that villa is the price I listed before. I'm sorry, I really can't go any lower. You can check the asking prices for villas of the same level and location; I guarantee there won't be any lower than mine..."

Before Nan Wu could finish speaking, he interrupted, "Miss Nan, you've misunderstood. I'm not here to discuss prices!"

"That is……"

Du Lin, relaxed and at ease in his rocking chair, spoke fluent Mandarin, "I just want to see what this landlady looks like, and whether she's worth the high price I'm paying!"

Nan Wu: "..."

Suddenly, a Scottish Fold cat appeared out of nowhere and darted past Nanwu's ankle.

Nan Wu was startled.

Du Lin waved his hand, and the little guy, as if it understood human nature, meowed and jumped up onto his lap.

The man stroked the cat's back as he said, "To be fair, Miss Nan's villa is in a good location, but as you know, the current real estate market is such that if you want to sell it quickly, the price obviously still has room to drop."

Nan Wu held her breath.

“But I don’t think any of that matters!” Du Lin tilted his head, his eyes, full of inquiry and amusement, scrutinizing Nan Wu without any restraint. “What I value is first impressions; money is no object!”

I don't know if he meant he felt a connection with the house or with the person.

Although it felt awkward, Nan Wu breathed a sigh of relief, which meant that he still intended to buy it.

"That's it," he said, as if summarizing his earlier observation. His smile grew even more enigmatic as he stared at Nan Wu's lower back. "Miss Nan has a nice figure, just my type!"

Nan Wu: "..."

Guards! Bring your swords!

Seeing her expression change, Du Lin laughed loudly, "See? I scared you, didn't I?"

Nan Wu tried to get back to the main topic, "Mr. Du, let's get down to business, the house..."

"I'll buy!"

"That's great!" Nan Wu exclaimed excitedly.

"However... Miss Nan, could you do me a favor?"

Nan Wu was alert. "What?"

"I'm in charge of a comic convention tomorrow, and I'm short one cosplayer. If you can help me, I'll sign a contract with you immediately after the event!"

"OK!" Nan Wu agreed without hesitation.

This small favor enabled her to quickly sell her villa; no matter how you look at it, the effort was worthwhile.

The white G-Class slowly drove away, and Jiang Rourou got out of another car with a sinister smile on her face.

As soon as she received the detective's message, she rushed over without stopping.

This time, she will personally tear off Nan Wu's mask.

"Excuse me, are you a member here?"

Jiang Rourou was stopped by staff at the entrance.

"Ha! A run-down bookstore needs a membership? That's ridiculous. So, how much do you want to pay?"

"Sorry, we are by invitation only!" The implication is that without an invitation, no amount of money will be of any use.

Jiang Rourou got angry. "Do you know who I am? You're just a run-down bookstore, what are you putting on airs for? Believe me or not, I'll have someone tear this place down tomorrow!"

At this point, the staff member answered a phone call. After bowing and scraping repeatedly, he came over and nodded to Jiang Rourou, "Miss, you can go up now. Please follow me!"

Jiang Rourou gave a mocking snort, "You guys know what's good for you!"

Du Lin was still playing with his cat, seemingly oblivious to the guests who had entered.

Jiang Rourou, feeling completely ignored, was furious. "Hey, is this how your bookstore treats its customers? What kind of attitude is this? I'm going to expose you online and make sure you go out of business in no time!"

Du Lin lazily looked up, and his handsome and delicate appearance startled Jiang Rourou, who couldn't help but take a few more glances.

If she hadn't already been with Xiao Jiayang, hooking up with this guy wouldn't have been bad either. It's just a pity that he's a shabby bookstore owner; how could he be worthy of her noble status?

"What brings you here, young lady?" Du Lin frowned, showing extreme impatience.

"Did a woman just come up to you about selling the house? Did you sign a contract? What was the price?"

Du Lin held up a chicken strip in front of the Scottish Fold cat's face, tempting it, "What does this have to do with you?"

Good-looking people always make it hard to get angry. Jiang Rourou patiently said, "Let me be frank with you, I've also taken a liking to that house. If you give me this house, I'll give you an extra one million yuan as compensation!"

Upon hearing this, Du Lin's interest was piqued. "Oh? There's such a good thing?"

Thinking he was interested, Jiang Rourou pressed her advantage, "You don't need to doubt me, I just really like that house. Besides, there are plenty of good houses out there. You can take the money and buy one that suits your taste, right?"

Du Lin nodded in agreement with a smile, "That's true, it's just a pity we haven't signed a contract yet!"

"Here's what we'll do: here's my contact information. After you sign the contract, you can resell it to me!"

Jiang Rourou left her phone number and then happily departed.

Nan Wu can sell the villa, but the eldest daughter of the Nan family won't; she's in a hurry to sell, so there must be something wrong with that.

She not only wanted to expose the truth about Nan Wu selling the villa, but also to buy it back to stop the Nan family's losses in time. Then, she could curry favor with Nan Dongxue.

This time, Jiang Rourou was determined to win.

Nan Wu had just arrived home when she received a call from an unknown number, but the caller's soft, nonchalant voice seemed familiar.

"Mr. Du, you're not thinking of backing out, are you?"

A loud laugh came from the other end of the phone, "I, Du Lin, am a man of my word!"

"That is……"

"Just a friendly reminder, the moment you left, a girl came to me wanting to give her that villa, even offering an extra million as compensation. Do you think this deal is worth it?"

Nan Wu put down her water glass. "A girl?"

She probably knew who it was.

"It's really interesting that she doesn't go directly to you, the landlord, but wants to buy it from me. Don't you think she's a little crazy?"

Du Lin's words of confusion were actually a reminder to Nan Wu.

"I also think she's sick, but it's okay, she's sick, I have the cure, Mr. Du, thank you!"

Du Lin laughed again, "It's okay, I love everything about you, it's just that your butt shape is my favorite!"

Nan Wu: "..."

Again.

"Miss Nan, is your old house so sought after?" Du Lin said with schadenfreude.

Nan Wu tapped her fingertips on the table a few times. "Mr. Du, do you believe that if she can make you an extra million, I can make you an extra ten million? How about it, do you want to cooperate?"
