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

Jiang Ye watched them bickering and making a ruckus in the hall and found it quite amusing.

After watching for a while, he switched to Douyin (TikTok) and glanced at WeChat.

Yao Yao indeed sent several messages.

First, she expressed her longing, then she showed a little bit of grievance about him giving a gift to the sweet girl, but her tone was just right, more like she was being coquettish.

The message didn't mention what expensive gift she was going to give him. I don't know if she hasn't chosen one yet or if she wants to keep it a secret and surprise him on "Hug Day".

Jiang Ye stroked his chin and thought for a moment, then decided that he still needed to give her some positive encouragement to maintain her "enthusiasm".

So he switched back to Douyin, clicked on Yao Yao's profile picture, and casually swiped a "Douyin No. 1" video.

[Wild Brother's gift to Yao Yao: Wild Brother's exclusive Douyin account *1]

A spectacular rocket effect erupted, and Yao Yao's score instantly jumped by 10,000.

Yao Yao, who was furiously typing away on WeChat and "beating up" the sweet girl with words, subconsciously switched back to the live stream when she heard the exclamations from the girls in the room.

Seeing her score skyrocketing, she was stunned for a moment, then a huge wave of joy washed over her, and the slight unhappiness in her heart vanished instantly!

As expected, Ye Ge still cares about me the most!

He saw me and the sweet girl "competing for attention," and he was just trying to support me!

That little bitch is just sharp-tongued and intriguing to him!

Hmph! Clown!!

After receiving the gift, Jiang Ye logged off Douyin and planned to play a few games to calm his somewhat agitated mood.

As soon as I opened the game interface, the WeChat voice call invitation sounded—it was Yao Yao calling.

Jiang Ye's heart skipped a beat. Looking at the name "Yao Yao" flashing on the screen, he hesitated for less than a second before decisively pressing the answer button.

"Feed?"

On the other end of the phone, Yao Yao seemed surprised that he answered so quickly. She paused for a moment, then a huge feeling of grievance welled up inside her:

"Waaaaah... Bro! It's so hard for you to answer my voice call! I'm starting to wonder if my phone is broken!"

Jiang Ye smiled and asked, "What's wrong? What's the matter?"

Yao Yao was slightly taken aback when she heard the voice coming from the receiver.

Strange, that voice... it sounds familiar... I feel like I've heard it somewhere before?

But the thought only flashed through my mind and was quickly overshadowed by a huge surprise—not only did Brother Ye answer the call, but his tone didn't sound as cold as usual!

She quickly seized the opportunity and said what she had prepared beforehand: "Brother, it's like this, next Sunday is Hug Day, right? I thought... I wanted to give you a Valentine's Day present!"

She paused, then her tone became serious: "It's quite a valuable gift! So... could you give me an address? That would be convenient for me to deliver it, and then you could pick it up?"

Jiang Ye was overjoyed!

My dear Yao Yao! My precious Yao Yao! Your brother has truly loved you dearly!

This "comprehension" and this "courage" truly win my heart!

He coughed lightly, trying to make his voice sound calm and even: "Oh? What is it? Does it need to be delivered all the way? Couldn't you just call a courier?"

Yao Yao quickly explained, "No, brother, the item is quite valuable. I don't trust a delivery person to handle it. I'd rather... I'll deliver it myself; that's safer."

Jiang Ye said "Oh," pretended to think for a moment, and then said in a condescending tone, "Alright. Then... just put it in the locker in the Marriott Hotel lobby, I'll pick it up when I have time."

Upon hearing this, Yao Yao immediately felt relieved.

If it weren't for the fact that she had gone bankrupt and was heavily in debt to buy the gift, she really wouldn't want to deliver it herself. She would be in a very awkward position if the other party asked her to deliver it to their hotel room.

It seems that the other party has no intention of meeting and is still maintaining that "mysterious" distance.

That's great! A safe distance has been maintained!

"Okay, bro! No problem!"

Yao Yao's voice immediately brightened: "But the things aren't completely ready yet, so they'll probably be delivered on Tuesday or Wednesday. I'll let you know in advance~"

Jiang Ye smiled, in a great mood, and offered a sweet treat: "Okay, sure. By the way, you gave me a gift, so is there anything you want? It's Hug Day, I can't just receive without giving anything back, can I?"

"Yaoyao doesn't want anything..."

Her voice immediately softened, filled with tenderness and dependence: "Yaoyao just hopes that brother can be with me on Valentine's Day, even if it's just talking to me in the living room, I'll be content~"

Her voice was soft and sweet, full of affection, as if she truly just longed for companionship.

Jiang Ye clicked his tongue, inwardly sighing:

What man could resist a girl like that?

Tea should be brewed with clarity and honesty, and one should be open and honest about it.

Even though it was just for that day's quota task, the way she said it made it sound so sweet and affectionate, making it hard to refuse even if you knew her purpose.

He smiled and agreed, "Sure, no problem. I'll try my best to spend time with you on Valentine's Day."

Yao Yao was overjoyed; her goal had been achieved!

She suppressed her excitement, her voice becoming even sweeter: "Mmm! Thank you, brother! You're the best!"

After finishing their business, the two seemed to have nothing else to talk about and fell into a subtle silence.

Yao Yao didn't want to end the call so soon, so she frantically racked her brains to find a topic to talk about.

Recalling their conversation in the living room, she tentatively asked, "Brother, aren't you... busy today? Do you... have some free time now?"

"It's alright, I just finished something and now I have some free time."

"Well...brother, how about...we watch a movie together?"

Jiang Ye raised an eyebrow, immediately understanding the girl's little scheme.

Is this an attempt to seize the opportunity and solidify the boast he made earlier in the hall about "frequently watching movies with Brother Ye via video call"?

First, they boast about their achievements, then when they find an opportunity to back it up, they immediately seize it and do so, all while simultaneously cultivating a relationship?

He clicked his tongue and deliberately dragged out the sound: "Fine—whatever, I'm just killing time anyway."

Yao Yao was immediately overjoyed, as if she were jumping for joy on the other end of the phone, her voice filled with excitement: "Really? That's great! Brother, check WeChat!"

She shared a software link, saying, "Hey bro, download this 'Watch Together' app, then we can connect via voice chat, share our screens, and even have voice conversations—it's so convenient!"

Jiang Ye downloaded the software by following the link and installed it.

After some research, I found that it's a tool that allows you to create private rooms, share your screen or video, and chat via voice at the same time.

He casually created a room and sent the invitation link to Yao Yao.

Yao Yao's voice quickly came through the software, sounding slightly echoed and distant, as if she were walking: "Brother, wait a moment, I'll be right there, I'm getting something ready."

Jiang Ye casually asked, "What are you preparing?"

"Hehe, let's make a simple fruit platter, and grab some drinks and snacks!"

Yao Yao's voice was filled with laughter: "It's our first time watching a movie with my brother, so we have to make it a little special!"

Jiang Ye was amused. This girl really paid attention to the details of life and had a lot of fun.

Hmm, not bad. When the two of them meet in the future, the experience will definitely be great.
