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

Yao Yao: [Okay, bro. Wanda Apartment, Building B, Room 1704. Let me know after you call the errand runner so I can prepare in advance.]

After the message was sent, there was no further response from the other end.

Su Ning held her phone, feeling a little uneasy, wondering if she had said something wrong.

Just as she was hesitating whether to add something, the other person replied: "Okay, then tomorrow morning."

Su Ning felt relieved and quickly seized the opportunity to bring up the matter that had been causing her anxiety again.

Yao Yao: [Brother, about that hall battle... the 5000 turnover...]

Wild Bro: [Tomorrow's only the 1st? What's the rush? Think about it yourself.]

It's those eight words again—"Think about it yourself."

Su Ning stared at the screen, lost in confusion once again.

This is the second time she has received the same reply!

What does this mean?

Is it a hint? A test? Or just a perfunctory response?

She was racking her brains, so she decided to once again use her traditional skill of "asking a strategist when in doubt" and took a screenshot of the chat log, sending it to the department manager, Zhi Xia.

Zhixia's reply came very quickly:

[See! I told you this guy was a purist! All that talk about hair ties, hair clips, clothes, shoes—it was all a smokescreen! What he really wanted was 'original,' Yao Yao! The kind that's close to the skin, you know? Sigh, guys with these kinds of fetishes are everywhere in this circle, it's nothing new.]

Su Ning was stunned when she saw Zhi Xia's reply.

She quickly scrolled up her chat history with "Ye Ge" again, and after thinking about it again in conjunction with Zhi Xia's words...

You know what, once you interpret it this way, it's actually quite possible!

Otherwise, how can you explain his desire for these seemingly ordinary yet highly private things?

Her gaze involuntarily drifted towards the bathroom, where a small basket lay, containing her underwear that she had changed out of before showering that evening...

A sense of absurdity welled up inside me.

She was once again torn between two options: to give it or not to give it?

This is not just an object, but more like a breakthrough in boundaries.

But if we don't give it to them, what will happen to the 5000-dollar revenue hall battle mission?

Will that seemingly elusive yet incredibly wealthy older brother simply disappear?

......

January 1th, morning.

Jiang Ye slept until he naturally woke up, ate a breakfast that wasn't extravagant but was definitely filling, and then pulled out the takeout uniform he hadn't touched for several days from the corner of his wardrobe and put it on.

I went downstairs, pushed my weathered electric bike out of the bike shed, and rode it wobblingly straight to Wanda Apartments.

He originally planned to place a delivery order on the platform, have the rider pick it up, deliver it to the lobby of a nearby hotel, and then pick it up himself.

This minimizes direct contact and conceals one's true identity and address.

But after thinking about it carefully, I realized that calling a delivery person was not cautious enough.

What if Su Ning, that woman, is shrewd and has been lying in wait near the handover point to spy on us?

Or perhaps she could contact the delivery guy privately, offer him a small tip, and ask him to secretly take a picture of the recipient?

This isn't just him being paranoid; after all, he had just done something similar a few days ago and knew all too well how much room for manipulation there was in this line of work.

and......

He clearly remembered that the address Yao Yao left last time was 1703, so why did it become 1704 this time?

Did they move their "studio"? Or do they have several locations on the 17th floor to deal with different "clients"?

After much deliberation, Jiang Ye decided that, to be on the safe side, he should make the trip himself.

Donning his delivery uniform and riding his electric scooter, he became one of the most unassuming delivery riders in the city, throwing himself directly into the game.

Upon arriving at the lobby of Building B, Jiang Ye was about to call Su Ning to ask her to press the elevator button when a middle-aged woman waiting to go upstairs glanced at him and smiled warmly.

"Hey buddy, food delivery? Which floor? I can swipe my card for you, it works on any floor."

He smiled and replied, then put down his phone: "17th floor, thanks."

"It's alright, come with me." The woman pressed the elevator button enthusiastically.

"Okay, thank you, sis."

The elevator ascended smoothly to the 17th floor.

Jiang Ye stepped out of the elevator, went straight to the door of room 1704, and knocked: "Hello, errand runner!"

The room was quiet, and there was no response.

He waited a few seconds, then knocked a little harder, raising his voice slightly: "Hello! Delivery person! Picking up the package!"

Still no one answered.

What's going on? Nobody's here?

Jiang Ye scratched his head, took out his phone, and was about to make a call when the door to room 1705 next door was pushed open a crack, and a head peeked out:

"Is this a delivery service? Why didn't you call before coming up?"

Jiang Ye turned around at the sound, and when he saw the pretty face with a puzzled look at the door, he was slightly taken aback and subconsciously looked up at the door number.

At the same time, Su Ning was also clearly stunned when she saw Jiang Ye standing next door in a delivery uniform, her beautiful almond-shaped eyes filled with astonishment.

"Why is it you?"

"Uh... I'm here to pick up a package."

Jiang Ye quickly suppressed his surprise and pointed to the room number 1704: "The item in 1704 is not in your room."

Su Ning stood at the door, her beautiful eyebrows slightly furrowed, a thoughtful look flashing in her eyes as she quickly weighed her options.

Why is it this person again?

Or should we pretend we don't know anything and just close the door?

No, it's not good to keep him waiting next door. If he calls Brother Ye to verify, it will only cause more trouble.

Thinking of this, she frowned and waved her hand: "It's 1705. The things are with me. Come and get them."

Jiang Ye raised an eyebrow, then looked up at the room numbers around him, and suddenly felt enlightened.

Depend on!

I knew it! How come such a gorgeous girl is only 400 or 600? Turns out it's all because of her amazing defenses!

They were quite cautious in doing it, which made me struggle internally and spend several days trying to reconcile my feelings!

He walked to the door of 1705, still earnestly playing his role: "Hello, beautiful lady, what do you need to retrieve?"

Su Ning didn't give him the things immediately. Instead, she stood at the door, arms crossed, and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Come in for a moment."

Jiang Ye was taken aback, a little surprised, but still followed her into room 1705.

Su Ning's apartment is a typical open-plan space, even smaller than Ye Cheng's one-bedroom apartment, but it is kept exceptionally clean and tidy.

A bed, a small sofa, a desk—the items were arranged neatly, and a faint, pleasant fragrance filled the air. It was clear that she was a girl who paid great attention to the details and quality of life.
