56: Chapter 56 Helping Maki Tian Rent a House

This former landlady now maintained an intimate relationship with him and had several properties available for rent.

Asking her for help with renting a house seemed like the most appropriate choice.

Cao Kun dialed Bai Muyou's number.

"Hello, Sister You, are you busy?" Cao Kun walked out of the restaurant, intentionally avoiding Tian Zhenxi.

Bai Muyou's lazy voice came from the other end: "Not busy, I just finished yoga. Why, do you miss me?"

"Yeah! I miss you!"

Cao Kun flirted with Bai Muyou for a bit before getting to the point.

"I have something I'd like your help with."

Then, Cao Kun briefly explained the situation.

"An Auntie from my Hometown came to Zhongzhou to look for work and needs a house to rent for a transition period. Do you have any suitable small apartments for rent? Something affordable."

Bai Muyou was very straightforward: "I do. I have a vacant one-bedroom apartment over at Sunshine Residential Complex. It's fifty square meters, simply decorated, and fully equipped with appliances. Don't worry about the rent; just let your Auntie stay there."

"Thank you so much, Sister You," Cao Kun said sincerely.

"But I still have to pay rent. I'll transfer the money to you in a bit, based on fifteen hundred a month."

"How can that be? I said no rent, so no rent."

Bai Muyou firmly refused.

Finally, Cao Kun said that if she didn't take the rent, they wouldn't stay there, so Bai Muyou finally agreed to accept it.

In the end, the two agreed that Bai Muyou would come over and take them there.

Just before hanging up, Bai Muyou suddenly asked with a smile.

"Is this Auntie of yours really just an Auntie?"

"Huh?"

Cao Kun didn't expect Bai Muyou to ask that. Just as he was about to explain, Bai Muyou continued.

"Heehee... I was just asking casually; you don't have to answer."

She hung up after saying that.

...

Half an hour later.

Bai Muyou appeared at the restaurant entrance driving a white BMW.

She was wearing a beige casual outfit today, with her long hair flowing freely, making her look much younger than her actual age.

After getting out of the car, Bai Muyou first sized up Tian Zhenxi. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and she immediately greeted her warmly: "So you're the Auntie? You don't look like one at all; you look more like an older sister. I think I'll just call you Sister! I'm Cao Kun's friend, Bai Muyou. You can just call me Muyou."

Tian Zhenxi nodded a bit awkwardly: "Oh, anything is fine. Miss Bai, I'm troubling you."

"It's no trouble. I'll take you to see the apartment."

After saying that, Bai Muyou drove off, and Cao Kun followed her to her property.

This apartment was in the Sunshine Residential Complex.

It was a mid-range residential area, not far from the city center, with convenient transportation.

Bai Muyou's apartment was on the eighth floor and had great lighting. Although the decoration was simple, it was clean and tidy, fully equipped with a refrigerator, washing machine, and air conditioner.

"It's very close to the wet market and the bus station, so life is convenient," Bai Muyou introduced. "There's a security guard downstairs, so the safety is also good."

Tian Zhenxi walked around the room, her eyes gradually brightening.

She walked to the balcony, looked at the small garden below, and said softly, "It's really nice here."

"Do you like it?" Cao Kun asked.

Tian Zhenxi nodded vigorously: "I like it, it's just... will the rent be too expensive?"

"It's not expensive, five hundred yuan a month," Bai Muyou said with a smile.

"Is it that cheap?"

Tian Zhenxi had no concept of rent in Zhongzhou, but she still felt it was cheap.

"Yes, rent in Zhongzhou is about this price."

Bai Muyou replied.

In fact, Cao Kun had intentionally asked Bai Muyou to say that.

His original idea was not to let Tian Zhenxi pay anything.

He didn't even want Tian Zhenxi to go out and look for a job.

He wanted to just support her directly.

She could just keep him company and have some "deep communication" whenever he was free.

After all, he had some assets now.

Tian Zhenxi wasn't the type to be extravagant or like wasting money.

Even if he let her spend freely, she probably wouldn't even spend five thousand yuan a month.

But Tian Zhenxi didn't agree.

She said she still wanted to find something to do so she could feel at ease.

Helpless, Cao Kun could only let Tian Zhenxi have her way for now.

After looking at the apartment.

Bai Muyou handed the keys to Tian Zhenxi: "Sister Zhenxi, just live here with peace of mind. Contact me anytime if there are any problems. I've already paid the property management fees until the end of the year."

"Thank you so much." Tian Zhenxi's eyes turned a bit red.

"No need for formalities." Bai Muyou patted her shoulder. "I'll be going then. You two take your time tidying up."

After seeing Bai Muyou off, Cao Kun helped Tian Zhenxi move her luggage upstairs and took her to buy some daily necessities.

By the time they finished, it was already evening.

The setting sun spilled through the window into the living room, coating the room in a layer of warm gold.

Tian Zhenxi stood on the balcony looking out the window, with Cao Kun right behind her.

Looking at the feminine Tian Zhenxi in front of him.

Cao Kun suddenly thought of a video he saw on Douyin, the one that said, "You are like a glass of strong liquor."

He stepped forward and hugged Tian Zhenxi from behind.

Tian Zhenxi was startled, her body stiffening for a moment, then she gently hugged him back, looking at him with sparkling eyes.

Their eyes met, and an indescribable atmosphere filled the air.

Things happened very naturally.

Tian Zhenxi hadn't planned for this, but when Cao Kun kissed her lips, she completely surrendered.

They moved from the living room to the bedroom, falling onto the mattress that hadn't even had sheets put on it yet.

...

Three hours later.

The two finally finished.

Both of them were extremely satisfied this time.

Ever since the system rewarded him with Indestructible Kidneys.

He found that his needs in this area were also growing.

A typical woman alone really couldn't satisfy him.

Only someone like Tian Zhenxi, who was at the Half-step Earth-Sucking Realm, could barely hold her own against him.

Tian Zhenxi lay with her back to Cao Kun for a while before saying softly, "You don't need to feel burdened. This was voluntary on my part."

"I'm an adult too, and I know what I'm doing. Don't worry, I won't affect your relationship with Guangli. You two should continue living as you always have."

Cao Kun's heart tightened.

The more sensible Tian Zhenxi was, the more guilty he felt.

"Take good care of yourself in Zhongzhou," Cao Kun said. "Don't rush with the job; just adapt for a while. If you don't have enough money, just tell me."

"I have money," Tian Zhenxi said. "Though it's not much, it's enough to last me for a while."

Cao Kun was about to say something more.

Tian Zhenxi interrupted him, looking into his eyes seriously. "Xiao Cao, I know you treat me well, but I don't want to rely on you completely. I want to establish myself in the city on my own."

Cao Kun fell silent.

He suddenly realized that Tian Zhenxi was much stronger than he had imagined.

She truly was someone who could care for a vegetative husband for twenty years without fail.

Just then, Ji Guangli's phone call suddenly came in.

She asked Cao Kun how the arrangements were going.

Learning that Cao Kun had already settled everything, Ji Guangli felt relieved.

However, since it was Tian Zhenxi's first day in Zhongzhou, Ji Guangli suggested they must treat her to a good dinner that evening to welcome her.

Tian Zhenxi didn't want to be so much trouble.

But Ji Guangli was insistent.

Along with Cao Kun pushing for it from the side, Tian Zhenxi finally had to agree.

The three of them met at a restaurant near where Tian Zhenxi lived.

During the meal.

Ji Guangli faintly felt that something was a bit off between Cao Kun and Tian Zhenxi.

But she couldn't quite put her finger on what it was.

She probably could never have imagined.

That Cao Kun would get together with Tian Zhenxi.
