A super-rich tycoon? No, just call me the gentlemanly gigolo.

Over the next few days, Jiang Ye was completely immersed in the joy of "buying things for the new home".

The satisfaction derived from this "nest-building" behavior is far stronger than imagined.

From toothbrushes and towels to pots and pans, from sugary drinks to various seasonings, he browsed almost every item on JD.com and placed orders like crazy.

After two days of continuous shopping, it wasn't until Sunday morning that he finally moved all the piles of packages from the delivery station back to his new home and began the massive decoration project.

Unpacking, sorting, arranging... Although busy, there is a sense of fulfillment and joy.

Unfortunately, he was unable to complete his ideal "five-piece bedding set"—sheets, duvet cover, two pillowcases, and most importantly, the "fifth" item: Ye Cheng.

Ye Cheng was initially excited to help decorate her new home, but Jiang Ye, with his sharp tongue, threw out his "five-piece bedding" theory, explicitly categorizing Ye Cheng as "bedding," and "thoughtfully" reminding her to bring her "sixth sense" just in case...

Xiao Ye suddenly remembered that she had a "very important" professional class that morning that she absolutely could not skip, and sincerely said that she really could not come, and had lost all interest in the decorations of Jiang Ye's new house.

He could only look at the empty master bedroom bed with deep regret—mainly regret that he had alerted the enemy.

Jiang Ye tidied up until noon, and finally managed to get the master bedroom, living room, kitchen, and bathroom areas mostly organized, giving it a basic feel of a "home".

As for the other three secondary bedrooms, he hasn't touched them yet, intending to leave them for future "destined people" to manage themselves.

Standing in the center of the living room, Jiang Ye looked around, stroked his chin with satisfaction, then took out his phone and sent a WeChat message to Yao Yao:

Wild Bro: [Haven't you finished writing your letter of repentance yet?]

The other person replied instantly with a crying emoji:

Yao Yao: [Brother! Ten thousand words! I wrote it all by hand, my wrist is almost broken! Look at my poor little hands [image]]

The picture shows a fair hand with slightly reddish fingertips.

Wild Bro: [Alright, take your time writing, the key is depth. Didn't you say you were moving today? Still lazing around at home?]

Yao Yao: [Hey bro, didn't you see my WeChat message above? I left this morning, and my roommate and I have almost finished packing. We're shopping at the neighborhood supermarket now~]

Jiang Ye exclaimed "Holy crap!" and scrolled up through the chat history. Among the latest messages of concern, there were indeed two notification messages that he had ignored: one was "Brother, I'm going out," and the other was "Arrived at the new neighborhood, starting to get ready!"

I was so busy decorating my new home that I didn't even notice.

He immediately grabbed his coat from the sofa, pulling it on as he rushed towards the elevator.

[You're all set up already? How's the park? Send me a picture.]

A dozen seconds later, a WeChat notification sound rang.

Jiang Ye clicked on the picture, which was a photo of a residential area, with a corner of a supermarket visible in the background.

Yao Yao's message followed closely: 【Yeah~ I don't actually have that much stuff, so I packed quickly~ I'm getting ready for a new life, so I'm just getting rid of a lot of old things and replacing them with new ones!】

Jiang Ye carefully examined the background in the photo and recognized that it was near the "Ruyi Supermarket" in the community. He decisively pressed the elevator button for the first floor, ready to stage a "chance encounter".

These past two days, besides being busy moving and decorating, he's been doing two main things:

First, look in the mirror and admire your face repeatedly, finding it more and more handsome with each glance;

Secondly, when going out to eat, pick up packages, or buy things, he would constantly extend a friendly and polite smile to the young ladies he encountered on the street, allowing single young women to fully appreciate his unique charm.

As for the result...

cough......

In short! Jiang Ye now seriously suspects that Yao Yao is playing him!

He carefully reviewed the conversation from that day, and the more he thought about it, the more something seemed off.

Yao Yao might be deliberately using a mutual acquaintance as a shield to delay or even prevent their in-person meeting, subtly reminding him of the boundaries between online and offline interactions, and cooling down their increasingly heated relationship.

Moreover, Jiang Ye clearly remembered the first time he delivered goods to her. She blocked him in the elevator, and her fierce attitude, insisting on checking his phone, didn't seem like she was attracted to his looks at all!

"Damn it! If I really find out you're playing me..."

As Jiang Ye strode towards the supermarket, he thought viciously, "That 10,000-word letter of repentance will be upgraded to 100,000 words in no time!"

......

Jiang Ye jogged all the way and arrived at the entrance of Ruyi Supermarket, just in time to see Lin Wanxing and Su Ning walking out chatting and laughing, carrying several plastic bags full of snacks and drinks.

He immediately put on a warm smile and went to greet her: "Oh, what a coincidence? Coach Lin, Ms. Su!"

Having just moved into her new environment and in a good mood, Lin Wanxing seemed to have temporarily set aside her "prejudice" against Jiang Ye. After a slight pause, she smiled and responded:

"Yes, Mr. Jiang, what a coincidence. I'm just buying some drinks; I'm planning to have something nice for dinner tonight to celebrate my housewarming."

In contrast, Su Ning's reaction was much more subtle.

The moment she saw Jiang Ye, her eyes began to flicker wildly, a mix of conflicting emotions—embarrassment, shame, and indignation—surging into her mind.

She tried to act as naturally as she would with an ordinary neighbor, but...

Facing an "acquaintance" with whom she had watched adult films via live stream, whom she had sent intimate underwear to, and who was highly likely to have used that material extensively, or even engaged in sexual activity, she found it extremely difficult to control her facial muscles. In the end, she could only manage a muffled sound from behind her scarf:

"Um......"

"Celebrating your housewarming? Of course! How was the move? Did it go smoothly? Did you encounter any problems?"

Jiang Ye noticed the unnatural look on Su Ning's face and followed up on Lin Wanxing's words: "After all, you two girls might find it inconvenient to do some heavy work or installations. Please don't hesitate to help if you need it."

Lin Wanxing lifted the bag in her hand and politely declined, saying, "Thank you, Mr. Jiang, but really, it's not necessary. We don't have much stuff, and we've almost finished packing. There's nothing heavy to do."

"Oh, I see."

Jiang Ye nodded, glancing at Su Ning, whose eyes were darting away: "So... have you tried all the appliances in the house? How's the air conditioner heating? Is the internet working? If there are any problems with the computer or router, I can take a look."

Lin Wanxing's smile was a little forced. This person was too persistent, wasn't he?

She declined again: "Uh... thank you, everything has been checked and it's fine, there's really no need for you to trouble yourself."

"Coach Lin, you really don't need to be so polite with me..."

Jiang Ye chuckled, then gave Su Ning a meaningful look as he spoke: "We're all friends, and now we're neighbors, so helping each other is only natural. Miss Su and I are... old friends, right, Miss Su?"

Su Ning, who had been struggling with her inner turmoil and trying to figure out how to deal with this awkward situation, noticed Jiang Ye's probing gaze and her heart immediately went on high alert.

I go!

The look in that person's eyes...

Could he have created this "Succubus Delivery Guy" account specifically to test whether I'm going to cheat on him?!

Damn! My last answer still left a hidden danger!

In a flash, she made a decision—she had to immediately and decisively state her position! Say no to bad temptations!

"That's enough!"

Su Ning suddenly raised her hand, palm facing forward, making a "stop" gesture, and raised her voice:

"Young man! I know you saw us here and came looking for us! Please don't do this again, please don't... please don't show your face in front of me again!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Wanxing, who was standing next to her, instantly perked up and silently gave her new roommate a thousand thumbs up in her heart!

Yes! That's it! Xiao Su! Well done!

We must firmly and clearly reject this man with ulterior motives! Let him back down!
