Chapter 15.1

Thank you MlledAlder and Beverly for the Kofis~!

Geng Hui took the phone and showed it to Gu Ye, “Look, this is the white moonlight that Qiao Yang tried so hard to wish for but couldn’t get. He’s pretty handsome.”

Gu Ye followed his gaze and looked over.

In the photo, the quiet and handsome man leaned slantingly against the bar, and he stretched out his arms to stroke the boy’s head next to him.

The boy whose head was touched was thin and not too tall, the appearance was very pleasing to the eyes and lovely. His head was lowered, but his eyes were cautiously raised upward with an aggrieved and coquettish look.

Gu Ye glanced at him and gave a word of low warning, “Geng Hui, are you idle?”

Gu Ye had always been able to control his emotions. Even if he was angry, he would still remain calm.

Yet now, the eyes carried an uncontrolled temper.

Geng Hui was startled and immediately withdrew his immodest smiling expression.

He quickly explained himself, “Isn’t this investigating the third young master of the Qiao family?”

“After all, Qiao Yang is responsible for the planning and bidding of Qifengtai. And President Qiao also promised that if Qiao Yang could take the land, then he would give all the development and operating rights to him.”

“Qiao Yang has not been in the company for long. Although he is the head of the Planning Department, he still hasn’t grasped Qiao Est.’s capital and land.”

“If he wants to have further real power, he must win over Qifengtai. But now he actually has the mood to meet his little lover privately?”

Gu Ye interrupted his endless chatter, his voice was still gloomy, “Has Qiao Est.’s budget estimation come out yet?”

Geng Hui, “Yes. According to the market research department’s projection, Qiao Est. can come up with a minimum of three hundred million this time.”

“Three-hundred million,” Gu Ye mouthed silently. “Qifengtai development value can exceed over a dozen times this price. It’s just that they want to develop it into a recreational and family vacation resort. While we are going for health and relaxation. In this way, they will get a higher return on their investment. Therefore, it’s understandable that they will definitely have a bigger budget to compete with us.”

Geng Hui, “Looking at Qiao Yang still in the mood to play at the nightclub. Don’t tell me he is still determined to win.”

Gu Ye sneered, revealing a hint of mockery. The peach-blossom eyes curved upward, like a scheming1 fox.

Geng Hui understood the boss’ expression with just a look. Read this novel only on Foxaholic

Gu Ye just couldn’t get the land, and would deliberately bluff to raise the price higher to provoke his competitors, so that Qiao Est. would win Qifengtai at a price several times higher than his budget.

In any case, it wouldn’t be Gu Est.’s money that would be lost. The heart of a sly cunning old fox was cruel. When Gu Ye finished handling taking care of all the businesses and drove home, it was already ten o’clock at night. His eyes involuntarily looked over when he passed by the Night Charm. Then he turned his head back in disgust as he continued driving.

It was simply unexpected when he returned to the Century Mansion, and just stepping outside of the elevator’s door, he saw a man with his whole body leaning crookedly against the door of his house.

The mouth was mumbling and muttering the digits: … 0418.

Immediately right after, the warning sound [beep-beep-beep-beep] was heard.

‒ [You have entered your password incorrectly and exceeded the limit. The system will now lock itself for 24 hours. Otherwise, ask an apartment technician to come and unlock it. Beep! Beep!]

The man touched his head in puzzlement, and spoke loud enough for Gu Ye to hear, “This is…… what’s going on? How come the password is wrong again?”

Upon seeing this scene, Gu Ye instantly went cold for three seconds. He immediately angrily shouted, “Qiao Yang! What are you doing?”

The drunken man was clutching his messed-up hair, at a loss. He turned his head in confusion when he heard the sudden shout.

“Eh? My… my pin is wrong.”

Gu Ye, “Because it’s my house!” Then he took a deep breath and attempted to calm himself down.

A full day of tight schedule of work had left him physically and mentally exhausted. He just wanted to go home and rest, but he saw this man at his own front door, entering the wrong password.

And to look on helplessly as the door to your own home locked itself.

He had always loathed it when other people entered his own private domain, interfering with his daily life. That was the reason why he moved out of the Gu family’s house to live alone.

But after Qiao Yang moved in, he input the code to the wrong door on the first day.

The second time his door was locked because Qin Man was not allowed to come in.

Then this time…!

His house’s pin-code lock was messed with till it was almost broken by this little young master!

Qiao Yang stood swaying, with a look of stunned disbelief. “This is… Gu… President Gu’s house ah?”

He staggered past Gu Ye and walked to his own door while muttering the words, “……9,6,0,4,1,8.”

The door opened with a “click”.

‘He-he-he’ ‒ The man laughed just like a child, “Oh, so this is my house.”

Afterwards, his body swayed into the house, and it slammed shut with a “bang”.

It was quiet in the corridor.

Gu Ye looked at his own locked door, “……”

“Qiao Yang.” He yelled and pressed hard on the door bell, “You get out he-….”

Before he could finish speaking, the door was opened.

Qiao Yang smack his own head, “I remember, I locked up President Gu’s house. I’m really sorry…..”

His voice was soft and slow, a picture of drunkenness.

Gu Ye felt as if he was punching cotton ‒ powerless. His lungs ached from holding back his anger.
