Chapter 388: Chapter 186: This Female Benefactor, Please Have Some Self-Respect
"Quit your teasing."
Su Mu stood in her office, adjusting her high heels as she smiled and asked, "You don’t have any other dates tonight, do you?"
"No, why?"
"The pipe for my water heater burst again. Come over later and fix it for me."
Xu Yun joked, "Sister Su, the quality of your water heater pipes is really terrible."
"Whether it’s terrible or not, wouldn’t you know best?"
Su Mu laughed. "Also, don’t come over too early today. I’ll probably have to work a little overtime before I head home."
"Alright, I got it."
After hanging up, Xu Yun rushed straight to the fitness center.
The renovation was progressing quickly. He estimated it would be ready to reopen by the time he got back from his trip.
As soon as he reached the second floor, he saw Li Jinshu on-site, personally directing and supervising the work.
She was dressed in casual clothes, wearing a hat and a mask.
’Ever since Li Jinshu got with me, all she seems to do is design and renovation work.’
’She just finished up my company’s office not long ago, and now she’s doing the fitness center.’
’She spends most of her day on a construction site. It’s really tough on her.’
’So, it’s only right that I reward her with a large flat-style apartment to live in.’
Xu Yun quietly walked up and wrapped his arms around her waist from behind.
Li Jinshu was about to struggle, but when she realized it was Xu Yun messing with her, she relaxed.
She laughed. "Well, busy man, what made you decide to grace me with your presence?"
"I came to see how your work is going. To see if you’re slacking off."
"And what do you see now?"
"I see," Xu Yun said. "So I’ve decided to reward you with something."
"What is it?"
"You’ll know when we get there. Come with me."
After Xu Yun had Li Jinshu give a few instructions, he led her to a residential complex not far from the fitness center.
It was the complex right next to Su Mu’s.
Li Jinshu asked, confused, "Why on earth did you bring me here?"
"To show you your new home, of course."
"New home?"
"That’s right."
Xu Yun led her to an apartment, entered the code, and walked inside. "Take a look," he said. "See if you like it. It’s not as big as Su Mu’s, but it’s close."
Li Jinshu said in surprise, "Is this really for me?"
"Mhm, it’s for you."
Xu Yun nodded. "It’s close to both Su Mu’s place and the fitness center, so commuting will be convenient."
"When did you buy it?"
"A few days ago, when I came to help you sign the contracts, I passed by, took a look, and thought it was pretty nice, so I bought it."
Xu Yun smiled and reminded her, "But your mom and your brother are next door, so you should still be careful."
"They still haven’t left?"
"Didn’t I tell you? One’s working as a security guard, and the other as a cleaning lady. It seems they’re quite dedicated to their jobs."
Xu Yun said, "I even called property management to praise your brother."
Li Jinshu was speechless.
Seeing her confusion, Xu Yun explained, "The higher they fly, the harder they’ll fall. I have a plan for your brother and mother. I’ll let you be the one to deal with them when the time comes."
"Okay."
Li Jinshu said happily, "Let’s not talk about them anymore. Let’s look at the apartment, look at the apartment!"
Although she had lived in a large flat-style apartment before, she’d always been "living under someone else’s roof," and it never felt like home.
Later, to hide from her mom and brother, she had even moved into a three-bedroom place with Ning Qian.
What’s more, Ning Qian had since moved out and into Xu Yun’s large apartment, leaving her all alone.
’On the surface, she acted like she didn’t care, but deep down, she couldn’t help but feel a little left out.’
’Now, finally, she had a luxury home all to herself.’
’Xu Yun really does care about me. He hasn’t forgotten me.’
She turned, moved, and hugged Xu Yun. "Xu Yun, you’re so good to me!"
"As long as you like it."
Xu Yun pinched her nose. "You should move in today. As for your things at the old place, just throw out anything that isn’t important. We can buy anything else you need."
"Coincidentally, Song Xiaowei needs to move out of her dorm soon, so just let her have that place."
"Oh, so that’s how it is!"
Li Jinshu feigned anger. "So you’re just trying to get me to hurry up and make room for your other women!"
"If you’re not willing, then you can stay there. I’ll have her move in here instead."
"Hey! You wouldn’t dare!"
Li Jinshu glared at Xu Yun, a mix of shyness and indignation on her face. "By the way," she said, "I noticed the bathtub over there looks pretty big. Why don’t we go try it out?"
"My dear lady benefactor, please conduct yourself with dignity!"
"What if I don’t want to?"
Li Jinshu wrapped her arms around Xu Yun’s neck, her tongue flicking out seductively as she said, "Then I dare you not to join me later!"
"You temptress, how dare you try to bewitch me! Prepare to meet your doom!"
Xu Yun raised his Golden Cudgel, preparing for a "Thrice-Beating the White Bone Spirit"!
