“Ah Jie, I need a wingman right now.”

Early in the morning, Tan Wenjie had just arrived at 3602 when he noticed Lu Ziqiao approaching him.

"What wingman?"

“When fighter jets are on a mission, they often need wingmen to draw fire. Now I’m going to pick up girls, and I’m missing a wingman,” Lu Ziqiao said. “If the attack fails, the main fighter jet will retreat, and the wingman will provide cover. If necessary, we’ll go down with the target. We’ll go pick up girls together, and you’ll be my best wingman. Just like we said before, once I’ve succeeded, you’ll take over immediately.”

It's not that Tan Wenjie has reformed, but rather that the quality of the women around Love Apartment varies greatly, and unlike Lu Ziqiao, he has very high standards.

Tan Wenjie shook his head and said, "I still have work to do. Youyou specifically asked me to help her review the script last night. She's going to audition for a movie in the next few days, and I'm going to temporarily act as her acting mentor to help her land the role. Besides, she promised me that if I help her, she'll..."

Lu Ziqiao's eyes widened: "What? Are you trying to sexually harass my aunt?"

"Just do my laundry, cook, and take out the trash for a week." Tan Wenjie looked disdainful. "What are you thinking?"

"Clap!" Lu Ziqiao clapped his hands. "Acting mentor? I'll write this down right away. This excuse is fantastic! I can invite a few aspiring actors who want to improve their acting skills to my apartment and then sexually harass them!"

With enough attention to detail, life offers countless opportunities to thrive.

"..."

The door opened, and Zeng Xiaoxian, looking utterly hopeless, plopped down on the sofa.

"Teacher Zeng, what's wrong?" Lu Ziqiao asked curiously. "Could it be... constipation?"

"It's worse than constipation. You two didn't listen to my show last night, did you?"

"Of course I listened to it. The music was beautiful, the content was rich, the theme was clear, and it was captivating."

"Liar! You didn't listen at all. I had an accident during my live stream last night. I know it's wrong, but I just couldn't help myself... I..."

"Did you swear?"

"Worse still! I, I'm hiccuping, and it's just hiccups, hiccups, hiccups, one on the left, one on the right, I just can't stop."

"What's the big deal? It's just a burp. I've even seen news anchors yawn, and they're still perfectly fine."

"Is that so?"

"Of course, its viewership is higher than that of the evening news broadcast."

Zeng Xiaoxian raised an eyebrow: "See? There are people like you. Good news doesn't travel far, but embarrassing stories spread like wildfire. Do you think it's easy for us public figures?"

"Hey, wait a minute, he's a public figure, and you? At most, you're someone who answers midnight calls in front of a microphone."

"Lu Ziqiao, I'm a radio program host!" Zeng Xiaoxian exhaled all the anger he had just gathered with a sigh. "The radio station is currently holding an award for outstanding programs, and your old flame Lisa Rong is one of the judges. She has always been prejudiced against me, and I messed up my live broadcast and my prize money!"

"Did she contact you today?" Lu Ziqiao asked.

"No, but I have a feeling she might come looking for me at any moment."

"What if she didn't hear it? Then the matter will be over, won't it?"

"What if? How could there be any 'what if'? My program is broadcast live throughout the city."

"Then let's make a bet, five hundred dollars."

"But my bonus is only three hundred yuan."

Lu Ziqiao said, "If your accident is discovered, then I lose. Although you lose the 300 yuan bonus, you can earn 200 yuan as compensation. If I win, you get 500 yuan, and you can maintain your perfect anchor image."

Zeng Xiaoxian shook his head: "I feel like something's not quite right, Brother Jie, what do you think?"

The two of them turned to look at Tan Wenjie at the same time, only to find him eating breakfast.

"Wait, when did you order takeout?" x2
"I'll also bet 500 yuan."

"Do you bet I'll win?" Zeng Xiaoxian asked.

"No, with Ziqiao."

"..."

"That ominous feeling became even stronger."

As expected, Zeng Xiaoxian's day was incredibly fulfilling and safe; not only did Lisa Rong not listen to his radio broadcast, but even his radio assistant didn't listen.

……

"Ah Jie, do you have time tonight?"

Tan Wenjie turned around when he heard the sound and found Qin Yumo looking at him with a shy expression.

Hu Yifei and Tang Youyou were also with him.

"Is something wrong?"

“Richard wants to treat everyone in the apartment to dinner tonight,” Qin Yumo said, nodding repeatedly. “So I’d like to invite you along. It’s not far, just at the bar downstairs. It definitely won’t interfere with your gaming.”

"Richard? That sounds familiar."

“It’s that eligible bachelor,” Hu Yifei said.

“Oh.” Tan Wenjie nodded, then asked, “When do we leave?”

"Right now."

"Then why did you say tonight?"

"But it's already evening, and you've been playing games here all day without moving!"

"Really?" Tan Wenjie looked up at the window. "Are you sure you didn't secretly speed up the clock while I was playing games?"

"..."X3
"Only the three of us were invited?"

"Guan Gu is also here. He's changing clothes. I don't know what Teacher Zeng and Zi Qiao are up to. Zhang Wei seems to have to write a paper of dozens of pages."

They moved to a bar, where a man in a blue shirt with a small mustache smiled and nodded to each of them.

Qin Yumo then happily introduced the people present to him.

“Richard, let me introduce you. This is my good friend, Tan Wenjie.”

“Hello, I’ve heard Yu Mo mention you before,” Richard said, extending his hand to Tan Wenjie. “I heard you work in the gaming industry.”

"Yes."

Their eyes met, and they both saw the same message in each other's eyes.

Successfully identified; they're all scumbags.

However, Richard's level is far inferior to Tan Wenjie's, both in terms of financial acumen and his skills in charming women.

Aside from his decent looks, only someone as love-struck as Qin Yumo could be won over by him.

The bar is open for business, and everyone is mainly chatting.

Tan Wenjie wasn't very interested in Western food and only ate a couple of bites.

“This is a small gift for everyone,” Richard suddenly said, taking out four gift boxes. “I hope you don’t mind.”

"Wow!" Hu Yifei opened the box and slightly opened her mouth.

"Wow!!" Guan Gu Shenqi opened the box, his eyes shining.

"Wow!!!" Tang Youyou's expression was exaggerated, probably using the Tang-style acting method.

Tan Wenjie opened the box; inside was a diamond cufflink, quite expensive.

He closed the lid, only to find everyone staring at him. He asked, "Why are you all looking at me like that?"

"Don't you think this gift is a bit over the top?"

“Diamonds are indeed expensive,” Tan Wenjie nodded. “I really like this gift.”

"..."

"I almost forgot, Richard is a diamond bachelor, but Tan Wenjie is a golden bachelor," Hu Yifei said softly, though her voice was quite loud at the table.

“Excuse me, I need to take this call.” Richard got up and left.

The group immediately showed off the gifts they had received.

"So Santa Claus really does exist!" Tang Youyou exclaimed excitedly. "Actually, I can grow a beard too." Guan Gu Shenqi also breathed on the diamond and wiped it clean. "Have you noticed that my face shape is exactly the same as Richard's?"

Tang Youyou rolled her eyes.

"Ah Jie, do you have some kind of prejudice against Richard?" Qin Yumo suddenly said. "I always feel like you're quite resistant to him."

She brought her ideal boyfriend and fiancé to meet her friends, hoping for an exaggerated reaction like Tang Youyou's, or at least to make them feel that she was very happy. However, Tan Wenjie's performance was rather average.

“I guess it’s a case of like repels like,” Tan Wenjie said. “He and I are the same kind of people.”

"What!" Qin Yumo's voice rose, her cheeks flushing red. "You...you like me too?"

Hu Yifei went even further, saying, "I'm telling you, although you're not bad looking and you're quite rich, those two young people are so sweet and in love, how could you interfere?"

"I'm a pure love party member!" Guan Gu Shenqi said, holding up the diamond, expressing his current thoughts.

Tang Youyou glanced left at Tan Wenjie and right at Richard, who was making and receiving a phone call in the distance.

On one side is her good friend, who is even helping her with auditions; on the other side is a highly eligible bachelor.

"I... I think feelings can't be forced."

Tan Wenjie: "What are you thinking? I'm saying he's the same kind of person as me, probably a scumbag."

"Stabbing men?" Guan Gu asked in confusion. "Why would you stab men?"

“He’s the kind of man who likes to play with people’s feelings and then doesn’t take responsibility,” Hu Yifei casually explained, then added, “The scumbag you’re talking about is probably someone like Ziqiao.”

Tan Wenjie shook his head: "No, he's the type who plays one-night stands, and the women he meets aren't exactly good people either. At most, it's called... casual sex."

The three girls blushed slightly and spat lightly, criticizing Lu Ziqiao at the same time.

"You mean you've hurt a lot of women?" Hu Yifei suddenly became interested.

The others nodded in agreement.

"I've known for a long time that you're extraordinary," Qin Yumo said excitedly. "You're so handsome, so rich, you don't have to work every day, you don't care about anything, and you have a kind of insightful understanding of life. If it weren't for Richard, I might have really been attracted to you."

Their gazes shifted to Qin Yumo.

Qin Yumo blushed and waved her hand: "That's not what I meant. Besides, my Richard is so sexy, even Ah Jie doesn't have a mustache!"

"You mean, you'd like him if he grew a mustache?" Hu Yifei asked teasingly.

"Of course not!"

"Brother Jie, what exactly do you mean?"

"You want to ask me for advice on dating? Or do you have the heart of a scumbag?" Tan Wenjie said with a strange expression. "I never date. It's always the girls who throw themselves at me."

"whispering sound!"

"What about the girls?"

"They are not in this world."

"..."

"There must be photos, right?"

"Yes, this is true." Tan Wenjie took out his phone and casually swiped a couple of times. "Take a look."

Hu Yifei snatched the phone away: "Isn't this Vivian Chow? And Joey Wong, Sharla Cheung, Chingmy Yau, Michelle Reis, Gigi Lai... Dude, are you obsessed with movies? Besides, you just searched for these pictures on Baidu, you didn't even save them to your phone!"

Tan Wenjie said, "That's what they look like."

"..."

Now it's certain that he's seriously ill.

Qin Yumo said, "I think Richard loves me very much, very, very much."

"I don't need to emphasize that I love you very much."

"But he just doesn't want to marry me. He always has all sorts of excuses, and we only see each other a handful of times a year. All he can give me is money."

"Only?" the others asked in surprise.

This is practically the perfect partner I've always dreamed of! They give me money, never show their face, and let me live whatever life I want.

"But I always feel like something's not quite right."

Tan Wenjie: "Of course it's wrong, because this is called... being kept as a mistress."

"What?!" X4
"Didn't you already guess that?" Tan Wenjie retorted.

It wasn't that he wanted to sabotage Richard's pregnancy, but rather that he was closer to Qin Yumo, and he would side with his own family regardless of reason. Besides, neither side had any logic to speak of.

"What did you guess?" Richard walked back at this moment, and seeing that Qin Yumo was not very interested, he immediately moved on to the next step.

Richard said, "I've traveled the whole world for you, Yu Mo, just to find someone who is worthy of you..."

He took out a gift box.

The people who had just received the gifts couldn't help but take a deep breath, all guessing that what was about to happen would definitely be eye-opening.

The box was opened, and a diamond the size of a pigeon's egg appeared before everyone's eyes, radiating dazzling light under the chandelier.

Wow~ X4
“It’s called Desert Star.” Richard looked at Qin Yumo, his gentle expression and the confidence hidden in his eyes turning into astonishment in an instant.

Because he didn't see any infatuation in Qin Yumo's eyes, whereas she always would have been infatuated with it in the past.

Richard, do you remember how many times a year we see each other?

"I'm sorry, Yu Mo, my work is very busy, and I travel all over the world."

“It’s okay, I forgive you,” Hu Yifei said instinctively.

Only after saying that did he realize that he was not the new owner of that "pigeon egg".

"We're already engaged, why aren't we getting married?" Qin Yumo seemed to suddenly wake up, pressing him relentlessly, "You've given me nothing but money! Are we really suited for each other?"

"Yu Mo, you..."

"Are you already married?" Qin Yumo suddenly asked.

Richard was startled: "You...you know?"

Qin Yumo instantly collapsed: "It's actually true!"

She never expected that this gentle man would be so embarrassed after being exposed, and she never expected that he was already married and that she was just a kept woman who couldn't be brought into the open.

“I’m sorry everyone, I…” Richard had just stood up when he noticed that everyone else was returning their gifts.

"I'm sorry, we'd better not accept this gift."

"Yes, we don't want it anymore, you can take it back."

At this point, the people in the apartment united against the outside world.

Richard turned and left, and the dinner ended abruptly.

"Wah!" Qin Yumo threw herself into Hu Yifei's arms and burst into tears.

While comforting her friend, Hu Yifei asked Tan Wenjie, "Have you ever done something like this before?"

“That’s right.” Tan Wenjie nodded in acknowledgment; he wouldn’t stoop to lying. “She was still a student back then.”

"Huh!" the group exclaimed disdainfully.

Even Qin Yumo perked up her ears and stopped crying.

"Beast!"

“She’s now been promoted to minister.” Tan Wenjie took out his phone again.

"Isn't that Emma Watson?" Hu Yifei couldn't help but roll her eyes, really not sure if what he said was true.

"I understand!" Tang Youyou slammed her hand on the table, then looked at Tan Wenjie with admiration. "This is what it means to be deeply immersed in the role, Brother Jie! You'll always be my teacher! Perhaps this is your Tan-style acting method?" (End of Chapter)
