194: Chapter 194 Inviting a Wolf into the House

Zhao Ning drove the spacious domestic SUV, smoothly entering the gates of the Xiangmi Lake villa area.

The car soon came to a stop in the courtyard of the luxurious standalone villa.

Zhang Qi pushed open the car door and stepped out, stretching lazily as he took in the fresh air.

Li Bingyue followed closely behind, sticking to him like a little tail.

The three of them walked into the spacious and bright living room on the first floor, which was dead quiet.

Hearing the noise, He Jingyu quickly came out from the open kitchen on the first floor to greet them.

She was still wearing a light-colored floral apron, looking full of the charming allure of a domestic woman.

“Mr. Zhang, you're back after finishing the paperwork!”

He Jingyu's fair and delicate face was filled with a warm smile, and her tone was highly respectful.

Zhang Qi nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping across the spacious and luxurious living room.

“Has Director Li already left?”

When he entered the main gate just now, he hadn't seen Li Yanxing's black sedan.

He Jingyu quickly walked over to the coffee table and gently poured a few cups of warm water.

“Director Li had a sudden emergency meeting at his workplace, so he had to rush back first.”

“Before leaving, he specifically told me to make sure I entertain you well!”

Zhang Qi didn't really mind this; after all, Li Yanxing was a busy man in a high position.

To be able to spare half a day to accompany him to look at houses today was already giving him a lot of face.

The so-called handover ceremony didn't actually involve any tedious or complicated official procedures.

It was mainly Zhao Ning guiding Zhang Qi to familiarize himself with some of the smart home control systems in the villa.

She also pointed out the specific locations of various hidden storage spaces and the main water and power switches.

He Jingyu carried a cup of water over to Li Bingyue, her tone exceedingly gentle and polite.

“Miss Li, please sit on the sofa, have some water, and rest for a bit.”

She had originally wanted to properly entertain this eldest daughter of the Li family, who had a profound background, to get closer to her.

However, Li Bingyue did not appreciate it at all and simply shook her head, declining her kindness.

“No need to trouble yourself, I'm not tired. I have to follow Brother Qi to look at the house!”

Li Bingyue's beautiful large eyes were fixed on Zhang Qi, her face full of excitement.

She quickly walked to Zhang Qi's side and naturally linked her arm through his strong, muscular arm.

Her confident, tsundere demeanor made her look almost like the mistress of this luxury mansion!

Zhao Ning led the way, starting to introduce the various top-tier facilities in the villa in detail.

Zhang Qi followed lazily behind, listening to Zhao Ning's highly professional and detailed explanations.

His Physique had surged to 126 points, making his five senses extremely sharp.

Li Bingyue's soft and hot body pressed tightly against his arm, bringing waves of wonderful sensations.

The faint scent of perfume mixed with her youthful body fragrance kept drifting into his nose.

During the tour, Li Bingyue seemed even more invested than Zhang Qi, the actual owner of the house.

Her beautiful large eyes looked around, and she would occasionally chime in with excited comments.

“Brother Qi, the walk-in closet in this master bedroom is designed so well, it's really spacious!”

“It can definitely hold a lot of things!”

“And that outdoor pool in the yard, throwing parties there in the summer would definitely be super comfortable!”

Li Bingyue chattered away, her tone filled with love and anticipation for this house.

Listening to her words, which were filled with obvious hints, Zhang Qi couldn't help but let the corners of his mouth curl up slightly.

This girl's little thoughts were practically written in bold letters on her face.

However, Zhang Qi didn't find her direct, passionate, and fiery personality off-putting at all.

On the contrary, he found Li Bingyue's efforts to claim her territory rather amusing.

After about half an hour, Zhao Ning had finally explained all the details of the villa clearly.

The three of them followed the spiral staircase back down to the spacious and luxurious living room on the first floor.

Seeing this, He Jingyu quickly stepped forward, looking somewhat uneasy.

She and Zhao Ning exchanged a glance, both of them looking a bit embarrassed.

“Mr. Zhang, we are really sorry!”

“As mother and daughter, we didn't expect the sale of this house to go so smoothly!”

He Jingyu clasped her fair, delicate hands together, her tone full of sincere apology.

“There are still many of our personal belongings and some important keepsakes in this house.”

“The two of us are just women with little strength, so we definitely can't move so many things all at once.”

“Could you please accommodate us a little and give us two days to pack up our things slowly?”

Standing to the side, Zhao Ning's delicate and capable face also showed a pleading expression.

After all, this house now belonged to Zhang Qi, and it was indeed not quite proper for them to remain here.

However, those things were quite important to them, and they couldn't bear to just throw them away.

Looking at the cautious expressions of this beautiful mother and daughter pair, Zhang Qi nodded readily.

“Sure, you can take your time packing. I'm in no rush to move in.”

In any case, he had more than just this house, and he had already received the rebate.

Two days made no difference to him, so he was happy to do them a favor.

Hearing Zhang Qi agree so readily, a grateful smile instantly bloomed on He Jingyu's charming face.

“Mr. Zhang, you are so understanding. Thank you so much!”

She quickly bowed slightly, the snowy-white skin of her chest faintly visible at her collar.

“Rest assured, we won't have the thick skin to keep living here!”

“We'll go out and find an agent to look at houses in a bit, and try to move out completely tonight!”

He Jingyu was a smart woman and naturally knew how to behave with propriety.

Since they had already sold the house and received that massive sum of over a hundred million yuan,

it would be far too tactless to linger in someone else's new house.

Furthermore, they knew Zhang Qi's identity was definitely extraordinary, so they absolutely could not afford to displease him.

Standing next to Zhang Qi, Li Bingyue couldn't help but blink her beautiful large eyes upon hearing He Jingyu's words.

Although she usually seemed to have a bit of a spoiled young mistress temper, she was actually quite kind-hearted at her core.

Seeing this beautiful mother and daughter pair about to face the dilemma of being homeless,

she instinctively spoke up out of concern.

“Since you're moving out in such a hurry, you probably won't be able to find a suitable place to stay in such a short time, right?”

After all, in a prime location like Shenzhen where land was worth its weight in gold, trying to find a satisfactory house on short notice was no easy task.

Hearing Li Bingyue's words, Zhao Ning flashed her a very gentle smile.

“Thank you for your concern, Miss Li. If we really can't find a suitable house, we can just stay in a hotel for a couple of days.”

“Although my dad didn't leave us any massive estate, and we indeed couldn't afford to maintain this villa,”

“now that we've sold the villa, we have money in our hands, so staying in a nice hotel for a few days won't be a problem.”

Zhao Ning spoke very tactfully, neither sounding too miserable nor deliberately showing off her wealth.

Standing to the side, Zhang Qi heard Zhao Ning mention looking for a house and staying in a hotel.

His heart suddenly stirred, and a thought flashed through his mind in an instant.

Back at the Cloud No. 1 Apartment, hadn't he bought several apartments just to farm the system rebates?

Aside from the ones where Su Ran, Sun Yiyao, and Qian Mengsheng were living,

there seemed to be two fully furnished apartments on the eleventh floor that had just been transferred to his name and were completely vacant!

Zhang Qi's gaze naturally swept over the beautiful mother and daughter standing before him.

He Jingyu was wearing that light-colored silk dress, her figure hot and graceful to the extreme.

Although she was still young, her slender, graspable waist exuded the unique, charming charm of a mature woman.

She was practically like a ripe peach, radiating a fatal temptation!

Meanwhile, Zhao Ning, standing beside her, was dressed in a stylish and capable set of high-end casual wear.

Her figure was tall and slender, and her straight, long legs were exceptionally eye-catching wrapped in her casual pants.

Her delicate, pretty face carried an air of intelligence and independence that far surpassed her peers.

Standing together, this mother and daughter were simply a beautiful sight to behold!

A faint smile played on the corners of Zhang Qi's mouth, and he spoke in a very casual tone.

“Over at the Cloud No. 1 Apartment in Futian District, I happen to have two fully furnished apartments sitting empty.”

“If you find it suitable, you can move in over there directly.”

As soon as Zhang Qi said this, the spacious and luxurious living room fell dead silent.

Hearing this, He Jingyu and Zhao Ning subconsciously exchanged a look.

They could both see a flicker of excitement in each other's eyes!

Having lived in Shenzhen for so many years, they had naturally heard of the famous Cloud No. 1 Apartment.

It was one of the most premium luxury apartments in Shenzhen, with top-tier interior design and security!

After selling the villa, they had plenty of cash on hand, so they naturally wouldn't mistreat themselves.

A luxury apartment at Yunduan No. 1 was definitely a suitable place.

Moreover, this was a top-tier figure like Zhang Qi actively inviting them to stay!

They had already been secretly speculating about Zhang Qi's unfathomably powerful background.

A mysterious tycoon who could casually drop over a hundred million in cash and have the eldest daughter of the Li family head-over-heels in pursuit!

If they could use the opportunity of renting the apartment to establish some connection with such a big figure,

it would definitely be an incredibly beneficial thing for their future lives in Shenzhen, with absolutely no downsides!

Perhaps if they ran into trouble in the future, they could even ask this Mr. Zhang for help!

At this thought, an incredibly radiant smile instantly blossomed on Zhao Ning's delicate, pretty face.

“Mr. Zhang, thank you so much! We were just worrying about having nowhere to go!”

“It's our honor to rent your apartment. As for the rent, we will definitely pay you the highest market rate!”

Zhao Ning very smartly framed this matter as a rental, so neither side would feel awkward.

Mainly, she was afraid Li Bingyue would overthink things.

He Jingyu also nodded repeatedly in pleasant surprise, her eyes filled with gratitude and admiration as she looked at Zhang Qi.

“Yes, Mr. Zhang, you really have done us a huge favor!”

Meanwhile, standing beside Zhang Qi, Li Bingyue watched this harmonious scene unfold.

The smug smile that had been plastered on her delicate, pretty face instantly froze completely!

Li Bingyue widened her beautiful large eyes, looking at Zhang Qi and the mother-daughter duo in utter bewilderment.

It felt as if ten thousand grass mud horses were stampeding through her mind!

What was going on?

She had only asked out of pity on a whim!

How did Brother Qi just take the cue and arrange for them to move into the very apartment building where she lived?

The Cloud No. 1 Apartment!

She was living there herself right now!

If this beautiful mother and daughter, who looked like seductresses, moved in to become her neighbors,

wouldn't she be gaining two formidable competitors out of thin air?

Especially that He Jingyu, who exuded an alluring, vixen-like aura from head to toe!

And Zhao Ning—not only was she beautiful, but she also seemed so intelligent!

Li Bingyue was practically on the verge of tears now, wishing she could slap herself hard across the face!

So her well-meaning words of concern had actually ended up backfiring on her?

This was literally inviting the wolf into the house!
