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

Three days later, early Wednesday morning.

As dawn broke outside the window, Jiang Ye stretched comfortably on the bed, a feeling of relaxation spreading throughout his body.

The moment he moved, he heard Yao Yao's half-awake, nasal whimpering from the phone beside her pillow, like a lazy kitten.

"Hmm... Brother... you're awake?"

The voice was soft and sleepy, with a husky and charming quality unique to someone who has just woken up, which made Jiang Ye's lips unconsciously curl up.

It feels really good!

That's right, ever since he tried it on Sunday, he's become a bit obsessed with this "hanging-up sleeping" thing.

I have to say again: the person who invented this trick is a true genius!

For Jiang Ye, who is single all year round, the presence of a girl's gentle words before bed and the sound of her unguarded, groggy humming as soon as he wakes up greatly reduces the loneliness of waking up alone in an empty room.

Instead, there is a subtle sense of satisfaction from being needed and accompanied, a pleasant, itchy feeling that makes the start of the day feel lighter.

He could even picture Yao Yao curled up in bed on the other end of the phone, her long hair spread out on the pillow, her eyes still sleepy, her little mouth slightly open in a daze.

This kind of companionship, which is distant and full of imagination, is more tantalizing than some direct stimulation.

However, the person on the other end of the phone...

The truth is, Yao Yao actually woke up an hour earlier.

Not only was she awake, but she had also quietly washed up and even spent almost an hour browsing Xiaohongshu (a Chinese social media platform) while lounging on the sofa, carefully studying several posts such as "How to win over a cold and aloof man" and "The tea talk during the ambiguous stage of a relationship."

The reason she was still in the "just woken up" state was simply because she suddenly realized during her second sleep that her wild brother seemed to be particularly fond of the "young girl just waking up" thing!

That nasal "hmm" was as powerful as a nuclear weapon, noticeably improving his mood and even making him speak more gently.

In order to keep this money-making god firmly in her grasp, Yao Yao decisively adjusted her tactics, turning herself into a "synchronized wake-up person," precisely matching her older brother's schedule, striving to carry out the most perfect "morning interaction" to the end.

This tactic proved remarkably effective, completely captivating his elder brother and making him irresistibly drawn to the ritual of "waking up together."

"Um... Brother, are you going out today?" Yao Yao's voice was still sticky and sweet, and she was quite adept at doing it.

While brushing his teeth, Jiang Ye mumbled an "Mmm": "I'm going shopping with your sister this afternoon."

"elder sister?"

Yao Yao was stunned for a moment on the other end of the phone, then realized that the person was probably referring to the "one" in "If you count, you have two; if you don't count, you have one," which must be the real girlfriend.

She immediately gave a soft "humph" in her heart and cursed inwardly: What a scumbag! Mentioning the wife in front of the "other woman," he's so shameless!

Of course, I wouldn't dare say that out loud.

Yao Yao giggled, her tone full of curiosity: "Sister... what kind of person is she? Does she... does she know me? Does she dislike me?"

Jiang Ye grinned at himself in the mirror, brushing his mouth until it was full of foam.

A cup of green tea this morning is so refreshing! It even makes me want to buy this girl a little windmill to play with.

"Alright, enough tea. Don't worry, your sister not only won't dislike you, she might even..."

Zhi Xia: [As long as your 100,000 yuan in revenue lands smoothly on Christmas Eve, you don't need to give him a hard time. You're the pillar of the household now, so be assertive.]

Su Ning stroked her chin and replied, "Okay, I understand."

It seemed the visitors had ill intentions, and she immediately became alert.

Just then, a group voice call invitation popped up in the discussion group, and Su Ning answered it casually.

Sweet Potato Sister's voice rang out first, sounding somewhat businesslike: "Ash Bro, everyone's here. This is Yao Yao. If you have any questions, just ask."

The man called Ash then spoke, his voice sounding like he was in his thirties:

"Hehe, Sweet Potato, don't be so resistant. This isn't just my personal opinion, it's...sigh, the higher-ups are paying attention. Yao Yao, are you free to talk right now?"

Su Ning pulled the microphone closer, carefully choosing her tone, and gave a nonchalant "Mmm": "No rush, go ahead." She struck a pose that was perfectly appropriate.

Cigarette Ash chuckled twice and got to the point: "Hehe, Yao Yao, it's like this, a few days ago your older brother 'Wild Brother' came to our 101 area to hang out and even sent some gifts. You know about that, right?"
