Gorgeous Female Tenants

Xiao Ailing was immensely grateful and finally took her mother out shopping happily, buying some daily necessities and clothes they wanted to wear.

At this moment, Xu Xiangbei finally got some alone time with Gu Xinyan and told her everything that had happened in the past few days. Of course, the process of meeting beautiful women and any ambiguous moments were glossed over, and he even hid much of it.

Luckily, his conversational skills were very high; whenever he saw Gu Xinyan’s scrutinizing gaze, he would start playing Tai Chi. Then, changing the subject, he would pour out his affection for Gu Xinyan, teasing and joking, just glossing over the matter.

Finally, he started to introduce the life story of Xiao Ailing and her mother, since it wasn’t appropriate to say it in front of them. Moreover, Xiao Ailing didn’t know that her mother had a terminal illness, but of course, for Xu Xiangbei, this was something that could be resolved.

"A mother’s love is truly great. Having a mother who loves her so much, Ailing is really blessed; she is very lucky!" Gu Xinyan’s eyes held envy, along with a hint of a subtle sadness. Although she hid it well, Xu Xiangbei still clearly caught it.

"Are you thinking of your mother?" Xu Xiangfei held her, and this time she didn’t pull away, letting him hold her. Although they weren’t officially a couple, they were very much like one. They hadn’t addressed the unspoken feelings yet. Gu Xinyan’s heart had long been tied to Xu Xiangbei.

"Yes, last time I heard from my uncle that my mom isn’t dead, and my dad is also alive. They went to America!" Gu Xinyan’s eyes were filled with sadness. Even though she didn’t say it out loud, in her heart, she deeply wished for a mother, especially a great one like Xiao Qiulian, who loved her, accompanied her, and took care of her.

"Xinyan, don’t worry. After you finish shooting this drama, I’ll handle my affairs and then take you and your sister to America to find your parents, okay?" Xu Xiangbei comforted her incessantly.

"Hmph, they haven’t cared for us all these years, not even sending a message back. Why should we look for them? I’ve gotten used to being without them all these years. I just consider them dead!" Gu Xinyan said angrily.

Xu Xiangbei knew she was just being stubborn; in truth, she really wanted to find her parents. She wanted to know the answer, even if it turned out her parents didn’t want to see her or weren’t kind to her. She just wanted to see them, just once.

"Alright, stop being stubborn. I know you really want to see them. Maybe they have their reasons? How many parents in the world don’t love their children!" Xu Xiangbei finally pierced through the veil of unspoken truth for Gu Xinyan’s sake.

"Fine, but it’s not that I want them. I just want to ask for an answer, to ask them why they abandoned me in the first place. Even if there was a reason back then, they haven’t sent any word all these years. Even a message would have been fine?" Gu Xinyan remained stubborn, unable to let go of her pride.

Xu Xiangbei understood and didn’t expose her further, only promising to take her to America after some time.

The two of them stayed warm for a while, chatting with one another. Xu Xiangbei also wanted to take Gu Xinyan out to play or go for a walk.

"I’d rather stay within a few miles of you, my heart, if I can’t have it back then it’s yours..." A ringtone suddenly sounded; Xu Xiangbei’s phone rang again.

"Hurry up and answer it!" Gu Xinyan, enjoying the ringtone, urged him.

Xu Xiangbei picked up the phone and saw it was Guo Lijun calling.

"Officer Guo, what can I do for you?" Xu Xiangbei initially wanted to call her Li Jun, but seeing Gu Xinyan watching him intently, he quickly changed his tone.

"The hooligans at the entrance of Zhouji Store have been dealt with. Unexpectedly, some dared to impersonate police officers, really getting bolder. They’re all sitting in jail now, and Qin Xue is extremely angry. These hooligans did have some background, but they could only consider themselves unlucky!" Guo Lijun summarized the situation succinctly.

"Oh, of course, once I step in, who can escape? For Jiangcheng’s peace, who knows how many contributions I, Xu Xiangbei, have made? How can just a good citizen award be enough for me? Shouldn’t you reward me a little something in private or tell your leaders about me? Give me a big award, like Provincial Top Youth or Outstanding Youth or something?" Xu Xiangbei began to boast again, his narcissism leaving Gu Xinyan speechless.

"Alright, come to my house tonight if you dare, and I’ll make you very comfortable!" Guo Lijun’s tone turned cold, giving Xu Xiangbei a shiver.

"Maybe not, Officer Guo. You didn’t call just to thank and praise me, did you?"

"According to Chen Pingfan’s confession, we’ve gathered all the evidence of Zeng Xianren’s crimes and are just waiting to send it to court and have him put in prison. However, it seems like he’s caught wind of this, and considering his strong background, he might become desperate.

While we aren’t afraid, both people like Chen Pingfan and you could become his targets, so you’d better be careful. Also, if possible, take Chen Pingfan under your protection, lest they act first, silencing him!"

Deng Lijun’s voice was calm and slow, analyzing the situation clearly and outlining the dangers.

"No worries, rest assured, I’ll protect Chen Pingfan. As for myself, you don’t need to worry; I’m not afraid of any challenge. No matter if it’s a big ghost or small demon, if they have the guts to come, I, Xu Xiangbei, will deal with them!"

Although Xu Xiangbei’s words were full of confidence, he was alert in his heart. He had weathered many storms, survived multiple hits from Sword Palace’s assassins. However, as the saying goes: being cautious will prevent a thousand-year shipwreck. Sometimes, carelessness can overturn a small boat in calm waters.

The saying goes: those who drown are those who can swim. Xu Xiangbei had managed to survive until now, and not just survive but thrive, thanks not only to his strength and luck but also his carefulness and sensitivity. Despite his sometimes carefree, nonchalant appearance, he remained very vigilant inside.

"It’s like I said nothing; be careful yourself. If you die, I won’t be cleaning up your mess. I’ll compile Zeng Xianren’s family background and send that information to you shortly. Don’t let yourself get caught off-guard and confused, without knowing your opponents," Guo Lijun, though verbally harsh, was genuinely concerned about Xu Xiangbei.

"Thank you, I’ll handle your issue as soon as possible!" Xu Xiangbei agreed seriously, no longer joking.

Guo Lijun hung up directly, disregarding him.

"Who was calling you?" Gu Xinyan scrutinized him up and down.

"It was nothing; just an ordinary friend, someone from the CID. I asked him to help investigate something," Xu Xiangbei, a little guilty under her gaze, feigned calm.

Suddenly, he changed the subject, smiling at Gu Xinyan, "Why, are you jealous?"

"Only a ghost would be jealous of you!" Gu Xinyan raised her delicate hand, pretending to hit him, but Xu Xiangbei evaded her.

"I notice your ringtone seems to change every time I hear it," Gu Xinyan recalled the earlier ringtone, feeling puzzled.

"Of course, I use a high-end phone. It comes with software that changes the ringtone every time, like trying a new flavor. New and old songs, switching constantly without repetition for 360 days!" Xu Xiangbei started boasting again.

"Well, set one up for me sometime too!" People are always intrigued by novelty, and Gu Xinyan was no exception.

"Sure, I’ll install software for you so your ringtone never repeats!"

They chatted further, Xu Xiangbei still wanting to take Gu Xinyan out to have some fun. In the end, she said she had lines to memorize, so Xu Xiangbei could only sit by the side watching her act and recite lines, but he didn’t feel bored at all.

Sometimes, there’s a kind of beauty that one never tires of, and Gu Xinyan happens to be that kind.

Words like ’stunning beauty’ and ’dazzling grace’ weren’t enough to describe her beauty. Even as she sat quietly reciting lines, she exuded a unique beauty. Xu Xiangbei sat aside, silently admiring her, finding it rare to feel so relaxed.
