182: The kind that is hard to coax!

Master bedroom.

Tang Xinyi was fast asleep.

Xu Zimo held her, checking messages on his phone.

There were messages from Guan Yanchu and Gu Xiaoxuan, who also sent some group photos with Lu Jiaqi.

Guan Yanchu's looks and temperament made her look good no matter how she was photographed, standing out among the three, especially when considering the other side beneath her leng yu exterior, which was quite infuriating.

Moreover, she had privately sent some disdainful expressions, eyes narrowed, looking down from above.

Good, good, good!

Xu Zimo had already decided how he would punish her.

Then there were messages from Yi Yi; it seemed Huang Yuqing had invited her to dinner, and she had brought An Keer along.

After all, she was Big Brother's 'acquaintance'.

This week, her relationship with An Keer had grown much closer, and they often spent time together.

It was just that An Keer seemed to be on a diet, eating very little.

Yi Yi didn't understand; An Keer's figure already looked a bit too thin.

It was just that she was naturally gifted; all the 'meat' went to the right places, and it hadn't changed because of her 'diet'.

Yi Yi was incredibly envious.

At school, An Keer had never been close to anyone, so Yi Yi initially thought she would refuse, but she actually agreed.

"An Keer."

Xu Zimo remembered her vividly.

She was elegant and beautiful like a white swan, with a pure aura, a hint of otherworldly detachment.

Like a snow lotus on the Tianshan Mountains, blooming alone, sacred and beautiful.

Although they had exchanged contact information, there was only that one chat record.

She hadn't sought him out, surprisingly.

It seemed she could control her inner desires.

Not simple at all.

He just wondered what it would be like if this Tianshan snow lotus were pulled into the mud, stained with smoke and grime.

Xu Zimo was in no hurry.

However, Huang Yuqing was indeed sensible.

So, Xu Zimo directly transferred one hundred thousand yuan to her.

Huang Yuqing had already brought her car home.

Of course, she couldn't resist posting on her Moments, which stirred up envy among countless Socialites.

They were still pooling money to pose with luxury cars, while Huang Yuqing had already bought one.

So, these past few days, many Socialites had invited her to dinner.

Huang Yuqing also met some of them, mainly observing their situation; if their image and temperament were good, she would add them to the small group she created.

All her friends in the circle were like this.

Wang Pingping, who lived with her, was absolutely frantic with envy.

When she divorced Xu Zimo, she chose the car, but now... the car had long been mortgaged.

This was also why she still had some money on her now.

She longed to live the same life as Huang Yuqing, which solidified her determination to win back her ex-husband.

Huang Yuqing couldn't help but find it amusing as she watched Pingping ask her for advice.

Just then, she saw Xu Zimo's transfer, and her eyes lit up instantly: "Thank you, Zimo."

Indeed.

Her current path was correct.

As long as she did the right things, she would receive rewards from Xu Zimo.

Xu Zimo didn't reply to her, continuing to respond to other people's messages.

Tan Sisi had returned to the company, and Xu Zimo told her to develop well.

Yu Tao also sent a message.

He had promised to buy her something, but due to Li Xiuyan, he hadn't managed to.

Then he thought of the rental apartment she lived in.

Although her favorability wasn't high, he still needed to arrange a place for her to live.

After all, Li Xiuyan lived with her.

"Let's get a different place; don't live in a rental anymore."

Yu Tao was stunned when she saw the message.

Was this... was he going to buy her a house?!

Originally, she had been a bit anxious, feeling she might lose out.

After all, she had already had coffee, but hadn't even received a promise.

Of course, she would overthink things.

Now, she finally felt at ease.

[Favorability from Yu Tao +10]

Although the house hadn't been bought yet, the change in her mindset naturally boosted her favorability.

Seeing the system's prompt, Xu Zimo was very satisfied.

He had to show generosity and extravagance to retain people.

He wouldn't test human nature.

Because human nature couldn't withstand testing.

Moreover, it would also allow Li Xiuyan to see Yu Tao's change, killing two birds with one stone.

Just as he was chatting with Yu Tao, Xu Zimo received a group chat invitation.

It was from He Yufei.

She had sent more than one message, but Xu Zimo hadn't replied to her.

He initially didn't want to bother with the invitation, but then he noticed that Tang Xinyao, Sun Ruoqian, and the others were also in this group chat.

So he accepted.

As soon as he entered, he saw them discussing going shopping.

Tang Xinyao: "I don't want to go."

Don't want to go?

Speaking of which, today Tang Xinyao looked quite 'plain' when walking with her classmates.

That was already her best dress, but it was only a few hundred yuan.

Perfect, he hadn't controlled himself well earlier, making his Younger Sister-in-law so upset she cried; he definitely needed to comfort her, right?

He checked the time; it was only a little past three in the afternoon.

Xu Zimo decided to take his Younger Sister-in-law to buy some things.

So, he @-mentioned Tang Xinyao, "Go ahead, I don't have much to do right now, and I just happen to want to buy some things."

"Oh."

Tang Xinyao seemed to agree reluctantly.

But in truth, the thought of being with Xu Zimo made her inexplicably happy.

"Okay."

Xu Zimo replied with a single, unprompted word, then got out of bed and walked to the bathroom.

When he reached the living room, he saw Tang Xinyao had already changed and was sitting there waiting for him.

It was a very ordinary summer dress.

But worn by the Divine-faced Maiden, it instantly made the dress extraordinary.

The dress was made of light blue chiffon, its hem swaying gently in the breeze like rippling lake water. The neckline featured an exquisite ruffled design, perfectly accentuating her fair, slender neck.

The thin straps outlined her delicate shoulders, her collarbones subtly visible, carrying a hint of maidenly shyness and allure.

A white ribbon was gently tied into a bow at her waist, clearly showcasing her slender, delicate waist.

The skirt length reached just to her calves, revealing her straight, long legs, her skin glowing with a healthy sheen in the sunlight.

Her hair was casually draped over her shoulders, a few wisps playfully clinging to her cheeks, her clear, bright eyes sparkling with anticipation, her small nose, and her pink lips slightly upturned, a faint blush on her face, like a blooming summer flower, fresh and sweet, making Xu Zimo stare blankly for a moment.

Hmph!

Seeing him staring blankly at her, Tang Xinyao felt shy and happy inside, but she gave a light snort and turned her head away.

She seemed to still be angry.

The kind that couldn't be appeased!

She didn't know how captivating her charmingly naive expression was.

"Don't be angry, I'll take you to buy beautiful clothes."

Xu Zimo chose to coax her like a child.

And it worked.

After all, she was a maiden.

Moreover, she was already deeply smitten.
