Tang Xiu waited for Mu Wanying to sign the house purchase agreement before they immediately left without even informing Chen Bin. Although Tang Xiu looked a bit indifferent toward Chen Bin on the surface, he was actually feeling thankful to him. Therefore, he called Jin Xingkui on the way back to invite him to a drink tomorrow night and told him to invite Chen Bin as well.

“You know, sweetheart, you’ve now become my idol.” While steering the wheel, Mu Wanying’s eyes were full of dazzling lights as she smilingly spoke as Tang Xiu hung up the call.

“Ah, the First Beauty of the Capital and the First Campus Flower of Shanghai University unexpectedly see me as her idol?” Tang Xiu couldn’t help laughing and smilingly said. “That’s a great honor for me.”

“If so, do I have the honor to invite my idol to have lunch together, then?” Asked Mu Wanying.

“Of course.” Tang Xiu nodded. “You saved quite a lot of money today. It’s a must for you treat me to a meal.”

“Anyhow, I’ve been asking around and heard that Shanghai has a recently opened restaurant, the Paradise Manor.” Mu Wanying smilingly said. “I heard that the dishes over there are very unique and, most of all, it has a very good environment. Let’s go have a meal there?”

Paradise Manor?

Tang Xiu dazed for a second before he immediately laughed and said, “Good idea! That Paradise Manor is Lulu’s, maybe she can give us a discount, too.”

“Lulu? That Ouyang Lulu?” Mu Wanying had seen Ouyang Lulu before, thus had her brows slightly raised.

“Yeah, it’s her,” answered Tang Xiu.

Pondering for a moment, Mu Wanying suddenly shook her head and said, “I’ll to take you to lunch elsewhere, then.”

“Huh?” Tang Xiu was surprised. “Why?”

“You and Ouyang Lulu are too close, and I’m kinda afraid that she also won’t accept our money like today.” Said Mu Wanying with a pure expression. “I just invited you to a meal and you agreed, hence the bill will be on me today. Can you at least let me spend some money?”

“…”

Mu Wanying’s faulty reasoning made Tang Xiu at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

Mu Wanying glanced at Tang Xiu again and no longer spoke. As a matter of fact, she was perfectly aware of the fact that Ouyang Lulu was Tang Xiu’s close female friend and hailed from a prominent family in Jingmen Island. For her to move so eagerly to Shanghai and set up a hill resort restaurant here was perhaps just like her idea—stay in Shanghai to get closer to Tang Xiu. In other words, she was highly likely her rival in love.

Eventually, Mu Wanying picked one of the very good restaurants in Shanghai and urged Tang Xiu to have a great feast, and then the duo had an extravagant lunch that cost five figures.

The two had classes in the afternoon, however, so they returned to Shanghai University after finishing the lunch. After agreeing to find an interior design team later, they then parted ways to their respective classrooms.

As always, leisure and carefree time pass fast.

The time zipped by, and it had been nearly half a month since Tang Xiu returned from the capital. In this half a month, he occasionally went out to drink with Jin Xingkui, while some other times also accepting the invitations from Gu Changmin and Zhang Yueming. Even Ouyang Lulu also ran over to find him a few times to pester him. At some other times, he had classes to attend to in the campus and used the rest of his time whenever he had no class to impart his knowledge on Chinese Medical expertise to Dai Xinyue in the Bluestar Villa Complex—so much so that he taught her a lot of Chinese Medical knowledge during this time.

The morning sun was particularly bright and beautiful.

After having breakfast, Tang Xiu received a call from Kuwako Yamamato and learned that she was in Shanghai. He asked her on the phone about her intention to come to Shanghai but was actually kept guessing by her.

“There will no class on from Saturday to Monday. Rather than staying at home for two days, I should better go out and have a stroll.”

While standing on the balcony, Chen Xiaowan’s face appeared inside Tang Xiu’s mind. The two of them hadn’t met again in the past half a month except for having a conversation via phone.

“That’s right. It seems Sis Xiaowan is working in the Brisk Trading Group.”

Tang Xiu wanted to take her to work in the Magnificent Tang Corp, but he hadn’t had the opportunity to mention it to her since the two had only just met.

“I’ll go see her, then.”

After making a decision, he went downstairs and headed straight to the garage. Although the Agera R was not to his liking, he was kind of prepared to pretend to be a swanky young master for the first time, nevertheless.

While driving to the Brisk Trading Group, Tang Xiu suddenly remembered Su Yaning. She was now working in Beijing and even though she had a good position and salary–after all, she was only a senior white-collar worker–he was worried there was some misgivings for living there alone.

Sometimes he may be cruel, but the last time in Beijing made his relationship with her slightly easier. He also had thought to make her leave Beijing to work in the Magnificent Tang Corp. What was more, he wouldn’t have known Chen Xiaowan if it wasn’t for her. Therefore, after hesitating for a while, he put on a Bluetooth earphone and dialed Su Yaning’s cell number.

“What’s up?” A cold voice belonging to Su Yaning came out of the phone. But Tang Xiu knew that she saved his cell number from her words.
