64: Why don't you just tell the landlord?

"Which owner is he? He actually has three people accompanying him!"

"Jealousy is causing plasmolysis!"

Everyone in the pool is an owner at Binjiang Mansion.

They are all prominent figures across various industries.

What kind of beauties haven't they seen?

Including them, they currently have several female companions playing in the water.

Those female companions cost at least 50,000 in the circle.

Top-tier stunning looks.

However, in front of these three women, they instantly paled in comparison.

Even wearing swimsuits, they were charming but not vulgar, without a trace of the common air associated with the nightlife scene.

The one leading them had a noble temperament.

That mixed-race beauty was unforgettable.

The youngest one felt like a pure campus belle doing a poolside photoshoot.

Each person was uniquely beautiful.

Looking at the man, he was around 20, looked like a recent university graduate, was 185 cm tall, and had a handsome face.

It was truly a feast for the eyes.

"Who is that guy?"

"I don't know, I haven't seen him in the community before."

"The fact that those three can get along so well means he really has talent!" Someone clutched their knees, feeling a dull ache.

"Is he the one who drives the lamborghini?"

"I think it is! Right, he was also the one who sang at the Peacock Legend concert that time!"

"It really is him. Turns out the guy who is so popular online is actually an owner at Binjiang Mansion!"

"Our community truly harbors hidden talents."

"Let's just leave, before we embarrass ourselves further."

If we stay any longer, who knows how many more critical hits we'll suffer.

Under their envious gazes.

Zhang Yu and his group of four also got into the water.

The water temperature was constant at around 30 degrees Celsius.

Therefore, it wasn't cold, even at night.

As soon as they entered the water, Lu Hanxiao and the other two began playing happily.

The sight before them was a flurry of white, making it hard to distinguish between splashes and... something else.

"Landlord, you come too."

Hearing this summons.

Zhang Yu momentarily had the illusion that he had entered the Spider Web Cave.

Who could possibly restrain themselves?

So, he dove headfirst into the water.

Performing an underwater swim.

The South is rich in water, with rivers, lakes, and small ponds everywhere.

Swimming is a necessary skill for a Southerner.

Instantly, the pool was filled with splashing water, creating a lively scene.

When a person is in the water, enveloped by the surrounding liquid, it feels like an infant returning to the womb, providing a natural sense of security.

The water droplets were fine, and everything within reach was slippery.

Three thousand words shall be omitted here.

When their physical strength was almost depleted.

Zhang Yu half-lay on the edge of the pool.

He said, "It's getting late, let's get out."

"No, we haven't played enough yet."

Pan Yuyao still felt she hadn't had her fill.

"We really should get out." Lu Hanxiao looked up at the clock above the swimming hall.

"It's already 1 AM. Yuyao, you need to be fully energized for your Official Promotion Ceremony tomorrow."

"Alright then, Sister Xiao, I understand!"

Reminded by Sister Xiao, Pan Yuyao remembered her important business.

So, like a silver carp, she sprang out of the water.

The others also quickly exited the water.

Residual water droplets rolled across their skin, truly making them look like lotuses emerging from the water.

Since the pool was very close to home.

They decided not to rinse off there, but to go home first.

Zhang Yu noticed.

This night swim yielded quite a bit of gain!

Lu Hanxiao's Peach Blossom Value had already reached 9 stars!

And Pan Yuyao was already at 9.9 stars!

He was truly impressed by this System.

Zhang Yu felt a little disappointed; he still wanted to see what the second full-star hidden grand prize would be.

As a result, it really stopped at 9.9 stars?

"Zhang Yu, what are you thinking about?"

Back in the living room, Lu Hanxiao asked.

"Nothing much. Hurry up and wash up so we can sleep."

He shook his head and smiled.

Lu Hanxiao wanted to say something else, but she heard her phone ringing in her room.

Returning to her room, she saw seven or eight missed calls from the same number on her phone... Zhang Yu returned to his room.

After the exertion of swimming, he was truly exhausted this time.

It felt as if his entire body had been hollowed out.

Although he had Constitution Enhancement, he was still a carbon-based life form after all.

After tidying up a bit, he prepared to sleep.

Then.

He saw his phone screen light up in the dark room.

"Zhang Yu, can you help me with a favor tomorrow night?"

"Help you with what? Have you made up your mind?"

"Oh, no." Lu Hanxiao replied, "I plan to go home tomorrow, can you come with me?"

"Oh? Meeting the parents?"

Zhang Yu smiled. Was it that fast?

"Something like that." Lu Hanxiao replied, "My family is forcing me into marriage again, arranging a wedding I don't want."

All those calls just now were from her family.

Although Lu Hanxiao had moved out a long time ago because of family matters.

She didn't want to go home, but she couldn't escape her family's pressure.

There was nothing she could do. Who told her she was surnamed Lu and was the Lu Family's only descendant?

"Then I'd be doing you a huge favor." Zhang Yu smiled. "Once it's done, how do you plan to thank me?"

He wasn't looking for repayment; he wanted to deepen Lu Hanxiao's impression that she couldn't do without him.

To ensure that, psychologically, she always felt subordinate to him.

"Thank me?"

Lu Hanxiao didn't know how she could thank him.

Money? Zhang Yu wouldn't care about that.

Herself? For him, that had already happened.

Did he have some other idea?

"It's fine. Just promise me, and I'll tell you once I've thought about it."

Zhang Yu replied.

"Alright then, I promise you!"

Lu Hanxiao felt like a fish on a chopping block, completely at his mercy.

But she couldn't find anyone else suitable right now.

She could only rely on Zhang Yu.

She had also prepared herself for the price she would have to pay.

"Alright, it's late. Get some sleep."

At this moment.

Pan Yuyao lay down in her room.

As soon as she closed her eyes, Zhang Yu's face would appear in her mind.

"Ugh, this is so annoying! How am I supposed to sleep? Landlord, get out of my head already."

Pan Yuyao tossed and turned repeatedly in bed, unable to fall asleep.

She touched her cheek; it was scorching hot, as if she had a 39-degree fever.

She recalled the few moments she had spent alone with Zhang Yu.

The scene of them driving around at night, with her sitting in the passenger seat of the sports car last time.

She couldn't help but inwardly cry out, *I'm finished.*

This time, she was truly and completely hooked.

"Should I just confess to the Landlord? I just don't know if Sister Xiao and Xiao Ba will get angry."

Pan Yuyao simply sat up.

"If I tell them, will we still be good sisters afterward? It would be so awkward at work. They think I'm stupid, but it's not like I can't tell what's going on."

She was conflicted about both sides.

She wanted to have her cake and eat it too.

"Is there any way I can be with the Landlord without hurting my sisters' feelings?"

Pan Yuyao continuously pondered this question in her mind.
